Chapter 778 Barrett's Departure
Ten trading port islands are scattered in a circle in the northern waters of the Kingdom of Chronos.
The islands are nearly 100 kilometers apart, and even if you take a boat, it will take two or three hours.
But for the warships of the Kingdom of Chronos, it only takes half an hour.
To a world where boats can make right-angle turns, swerving quickly from side to side, just like driving a car.
The seemingly ordinary pirate ship contains a lot of unique technologies.
All of this was nurtured on the sea over thousands of years. The competition between the navy and pirates, in a sense, also promoted the advancement of science and technology.
For most pirates and residents around the world, ships are the highest technology they can access.
Yes, ships are considered high-tech, at least that’s what Hades knows.
In the previous life, many operations would be impossible to achieve, completely violating Newtonian physics.
And in the center of this sea area stands an army fortress.
On the wide training ground, army soldiers were sparring with each other, while some were training in a special training room in the corner.
In the center of the training ground, there is a melanin building that looks like a cage. The seemingly enclosed space is constantly vibrating.
Boom!Boom!
Violent noises like crashing continued to spread from inside the black building.
Perhaps the power was too terrifying, even the ground outside the training ground was shaking.
This is a gravity room. It was moved outside because the noise made by the people training inside was too terrifying and affected other buildings.
After a long time, the gravity room gradually calmed down.
The closed door slowly opened, accompanied by thick white fog.
A tall and strong figure walked out in the smoke.
His thick blond hair was draped behind him, his upper body was naked, and he had explosive muscles and a strong body made of steel.
It exudes a terrifying deterrent force invisibly, like a sleeping lion that can explode at any time.
"General Barrett, this is an order from His Majesty the Emperor."
Just standing outside, an adjutant in a black court-style military uniform with gold trim came forward with a document in his hand.
The adjutants of the generals of the Chronos Kingdom are all strong men with the rank of lieutenant general. They have the ability to handle government affairs and tend to be civil servants.
This is standard.
Reduce the pressure on generals in handling government affairs and give them more time to improve their own abilities.
After all, strength is everything, there is no need to waste time dealing with trivial matters.
After graduating from the Royal Military Academy, Barrett is an outstanding person in all aspects.
Just focus on the main events.
The perfect curves that fit the body, the dark military cap on the head, and the white gloves make her look very elegant and full of aristocratic temperament.
And it does not affect the battle.
In the army of the Kingdom of Chronos, military uniforms often represent a person's identity.
Each general's military uniform is tailor-made by top tailors, and can also reflect personal style and characteristics as required.
Barrett had a strict schedule, so he didn't disturb him without permission.
The news of the pirate coalition's attack was actually spread within the kingdom's army at the first opportunity.
Basically all these senior generals know about it.
But everyone was very calm, because they knew that the so-called pirate alliance could not cause any waves at all.
Just wait for Hades' instructions.
See who the emperor wants to deal with this little trouble
"Hmm! Capture alive? Didn't they say it doesn't have to be intact?"
Barrett took the document and glanced over it.
"Yes! General, we just need to keep them alive. As the few pirates who dare to challenge the kingdom, it is already a mercy of His Majesty to let them live."
The adjutant said softly with a smile in his eyes.
"Then don't stop us. Let the navy let these pirates in. I will deal with them myself."
After hearing the adjutant's explanation, Barrett clenched his fists and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. The long-term extreme training caused his skin surface to become congested.
In addition, Barrett's skin tends to be red, so he looks like a red devil at this moment.
Within the military, Barrett was also known as the "Red Devil" in his early days.
"One more thing, General. General Esdeath has specially requested to join this operation."
"Oh? If she wants to participate, let her come."
Barrett agreed, saying he was not surprised by the news.
Esdeath is a battle maniac.
At the age of eighteen, he had already become a vice admiral.
He is one of the most famous young monsters in the army.
Besides, being the daughter of Hades is a privilege in itself.
Esdeath could be said to be his sister, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Since this news has come, it means that the emperor has no objection.
This is also a good opportunity to exercise.
Besides, this matter itself should be handled by the navy.
Although the kingdom's military is divided into the navy and the army, they essentially belong to the same system.
Different from the World Government's navy and army.
"It just so happens that her ability can be put to use."
"We will completely defeat them right here on the sea!"
"Get the soldiers ready, Gerard. We'll set off in an hour."
"By the way, notify Esdeath to come and join me."
Barrett gave instructions quickly and strode towards the bathroom.
After working out, he needs to wash himself.
Ten minutes later, Barrett had changed into a black military uniform with a more serious style.
Various medals are printed on his shoulders and chest. These are the honors he has received in the military over the years.
The real medal is naturally kept safe.
These medals are specially embroidered.
The gold border and dark dragon pattern symbolize the Tartarus family.
White gloves wrapped around his powerful fists.
He has a ferocious look in his eyes like a "ghost" and wears a cloak that represents an army general.
Barrett strode toward the warships that were ready along the shore.
Soldiers lined up and stood on both sides of the road.
As Barrett walked through the queue and boarded the warship, a thousand soldiers followed behind in an orderly manner.
The solemn and dignified army warship is mainly black in color, like a ferocious sea beast.
In the army of the Kingdom of Chronos, there are very few people who can own their own warships, and Barrett, the army general, is undoubtedly one of them.
There is a ferocious animal head and terrifying fangs at the bow, symbolizing Barrett's powerful devil fruit ability.
The flag of the Kingdom of Chronos was flying high. The warship started, turned 90 degrees on the spot, and then sailed quickly towards the eastern waters.
"How far is Vice Admiral Esdeath from us?"
"Let's go first. They will probably meet up with us in three hours."
"What about the pirates?"
"They are about to reach our sphere of influence. The navy patrol will let them in directly according to the general's request."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will meet around noon tomorrow."
