Chapter 6
Although the base was recaptured, the problem was not solved.
The empty base had few supplies, and food and other daily necessities had to be purchased, but the navy that went to buy supplies returned in disgrace.
"Report to the colonel, the country of Jino refuses to sell things to the navy!"
"Then go to other countries"
"They set up a roadblock, we can't get through."
Ma Long frowned and said,"Go ahead! Shoot if anyone blocks our way. I'll take the blame if anyone is killed!"
Several marines hesitated. After all, they were trained not to shoot at civilians. The navy's only enemy was pirates.
Looking at this group of marines, Ma Long felt annoyed. Don't they have a few smart subordinates who are easy to use?
Or is there a shortage of manpower? Currently, there is only one Ain who can be used, and the others are all misfits.
He must cultivate his own trusted subordinates, otherwise he will be exhausted sooner or later because he has to do everything himself. He just wants to live comfortably and freely, but he has never thought about being a hardworking and dedicated marine.
"Drive the boat over there. I repeat, if anyone gets in the way, shoot them! Our cannons are not for decoration!"
""Yes, Colonel!"
After dark, the warship returned, bringing back supplies bought in the Guardian Kingdom. According to the navy report, they successfully sank a Gino ship that blocked the road, and it is estimated that several soldiers were killed.
At night, on the tower of the base, the navy on guard was hit by a rocket flying from a distance, fell from the tower and died directly.
Malone's observation color had sensed it, but it was too late when he arrived.
He was very angry.
After taking the body back and ordering everyone to rest, he sat alone on the roof of the base, looking indifferently at the inland of the island.
If the attackers were not pirates, then they could only be people from the Gino Kingdom.
He couldn't figure out how a small allied country had the courage to go against the navy? Was it revenge for the bombardment this afternoon?
He waited all night, but the attacker never showed up.
The next morning, James came with the soldiers of the Gino Kingdom, and asked the navy to hand over the people who fired yesterday.
Malone came to James and slapped him twenty meters away.
"I will not negotiate with you by reason, because I have absolute power, and I will settle things in my own way. He walked to James, who had not yet gotten up, and stepped on his face, knocking him to the ground again.
"You are really like a scabby dog, very annoying. I advise you not to dance on the edge of a knife all the time, it is easy to die. I was the one who ordered the cannon to fire yesterday, and I will give the same order today. The cannons of the warship seem to be able to fire here. You brought so many people, and if all of them die here, your end will definitely not be good. Do you want to try?"
"Just try it!"Jims spat out blood from his mouth and stared at Malone angrily.
Malone looked at the other's eyes for a few seconds, retracted his foot, turned around and walked towards his own position.
"Everyone retreat, and tell the navy on board." Malone's eyes radiated a chill,"Prepare to fire!"
"Colonel, this……"The messenger hesitated.
Ma Long walked past the messenger and patted the shoulder of a marine behind him:"From now on, you are the new messenger. Pass the order immediately."
"Yes! Colonel! Ensure that the mission is completed!"
The new messenger snatched the Den Den Mushi from the sluggish old messenger, and shouted to the other end of the Den Den Mushi with great momentum:"The colonel has an order, prepare to fire!"
In the shallow sea area, the naval gun began to rotate, and the black muzzle was aimed at the position of the Jino soldiers.
James brought three thousand soldiers. If they died here, no one would be in trouble, including Malone.
But he didn't care. He traveled to this world, not to be a grandson! Being timid is not his style.
Seeing Malone's determination, James is now in a dilemma. Retreating would be embarrassing, and stubbornness might have serious consequences.
Malone gave him three minutes. James's face kept changing, but he still hadn't made up his mind.
"Fire."
The messenger immediately passed the order.
""Boom!"
A shell flew out and flew towards the position of the Jinuo soldiers.
At the moment of life and death, the soldiers no longer cared about military orders and discipline, and fled in all directions, but many people were still within the attack range of the shells!
Seeing that the soldiers were about to be engulfed by the artillery fire, suddenly a figure flew by quickly, broke the shell with a sword in the air, and then made a few quick swords, directly causing the shell to explode in the air!
"Boom!"
The shock wave spread out, and the person in the air seemed to be scratched by shrapnel and fell to the ground, with a red left arm.
It was a female swordsman with a beautiful face, a ponytail, and armor. She was about 1.6 meters tall.
"Princess! Aren't you at the front line?"Jims asked loudly with a shocked look on his face.
"Last night, a thief slipped across the border. I followed him but lost him in the second half of the night... James, answer me, what's going on?"
Malone watched with interest as James distorted the facts.
After listening to James' report, Renis walked up to Malone and said,"Captain, I don't want to pursue what has happened. How about we not invade each other in the future?"
"After hearing the information that turned black into white, how can you still say such a thing? What do you think?"Ma Long asked with interest.
"James can deceive my brother, but he can't deceive me. There is something wrong with him. I suspect he has been bribed by the Guardian Kingdom. So everything he did was not the true intention of our Jino Kingdom. Please forgive me."
"I accept your apology, beautiful princess, please go back. I will not interfere in the war on the island unless the war burns me."
At this time, a female cavalryman flew over from a distance and shouted from a distance:"Princess, hurry back to the front! The war is urgent!"
Renis quickly got on the horse and left.
After she left, James glared at Malone and left with his soldiers.
"Colonel, it seems to be a big show!"Ain said
"Indeed, although this princess seems smart, she has actually fallen into a trap. The people who attacked the navy last night should be the people of the Guardian Kingdom. The princess was deliberately lured away from the front line, and then the Guardian Kingdom launched a general attack at night. Now the front line is in danger, and it is probably too late for her to go back."
"The pirate I saw yesterday should be appearing soon."
"Maybe it has already appeared?"
"You mean……"
"That's right, messenger! Mobilize all the navy immediately and follow me to Jinuo City!"
"Yes! Colonel!"
The new messenger looked very excited, he felt that this job was a perfect fit for him.
Ain said with a smile:"Didn't the colonel say that he would not take the initiative to intervene in the war?"
"We are here to catch pirates. If we are accidentally injured by shrapnel, I will have enough reason to intervene."
Ma Long narrowed his eyes,"One of my subordinates died, how can I not settle the account?"
