Less than a hundred miles from the port, there is a town and a military camp nearby.
The commander who fled back in embarrassment immediately compiled a battle report and reported the entire process to higher-level officials.
However, during the writing process, he concealed all the disadvantages to himself and put all the blame on the pirates and garrison officers.
Don't be stained with such a serious mistake at all, and make yourself as clean as possible.
After sending out the battle report, the commander was still uneasy and always had a sad face.
The higher-ups may not believe his rhetoric, and they will definitely send someone to investigate and verify it.
If it is found that the facts are not consistent and the truth is that his defeat was caused by his greed for success, he will definitely be severely punished.
To resolve the crisis, the commander can only find ways to find connections and be prepared to empty his pockets.
If all this money is spent, I don’t know how long it will take to earn it back.
While feeling sad, the commander began to complain secretly that the speed of the royal family's offerings was too slow.
If they arrive earlier, they can follow and coordinate the battle. Even if the war fails, more people can take the blame together.
When he was secretly depressed, a soldier suddenly came to report that two royal ministers had arrived at the military camp.
As soon as he finished speaking, two groups of people rushed into the house.
The leader, a man and a woman, wore black dark patterned robes with special badges on their shoulders.
The robe is a gift from the royal family and a status symbol enshrined by the royal family.
The two royal ministers also wore various gold and silver jewelry, each of which was valuable.
Behind the two royal ministers, each was followed by a group of followers, wearing white gold-patterned robes and equipped with various weapons.
The followers had serious expressions and pride on their faces, making it difficult for people to feel close to them.
The commander knew very well that this group of followers worshiped by the royal family were actually descendants of major families.
They have received education since childhood and have mastered skillful martial arts and rich knowledge. They belong to the real upper class.
But because he is the second son or an illegitimate son, he does not have the right to inherit, and there is no development at all in the family.
If you follow the royal family to worship, you will have the opportunity to step into the extraordinary and become a special being that even the royal family has to spend money to support.
There is really no way for a small noble with an ordinary status to compare with an extraordinary person.
Two royal ministers arrived and became aggressive upon meeting, accusing the commander of not acting alone.
If they had taken action, after figuring out the specific situation, they would certainly not have suffered such heavy losses.
At the same time, they also stated that they would report the specific situation truthfully and would never share the mistakes caused by the commander's stupid choices.
The attitude of the two extraordinary people made the commander shocked and angry, and he immediately started arguing with each other.
He will definitely not admit that the reason for his failure is that he was greedy for merit and underestimated the enemy. Instead, he will push all the faults onto others.
The two sides argued endlessly and the atmosphere became quite tense.
While the two sides were arguing, a messenger came to report that a captured soldier had brought a letter from the enemy.
The two sides who were arguing immediately changed their attention and temporarily stopped the quarrel.
Soon the captured soldiers appeared, handed over the letter, and were interrogated by the commander and the extraordinary.
After the questioning was over, everyone looked at the letter, but no one reached out to open it.
Everyone knew very well that the letter sent by Tang Zhen was probably also a challenge.
If you don't have enough skills, if you open this letter rashly, you may suffer a fatal attack.
This is a temptation for extraordinary people, and it is a normal thing, but many extraordinary people have lost their lives because of it.
Opening letters is dangerous, but necessary.
By opening this letter, they can determine Tang Zhen's strength and then formulate a more detailed plan.
Besides, if you don't open the letter, you won't be able to determine Tang Zhen's purpose, and you may even become the butt of ridicule.
The royal minister, who had an angry look on his face just now and scolded the commander for his poor performance, now looked a little ugly.
They have some regrets that they should not have appeared so early, and now they are in a difficult situation.
Seeing this scene, the commander couldn't help but feel secretly happy, wishing that the two worshipers would be injured when he opened the letter.
At the same time, he was also curious, what was written in this letter?
After being silent for a period of time, the two extraordinary beings finally made up their minds. They would briefly test it before deciding whether to start reading.
If something happens to them and they don't take any action, someone will inevitably ridicule them.
Losing face is a serious matter.
After making up their mind, the two royal ministers began to prepare and asked the general to arrange a sufficiently open venue.
Set up a table with envelopes on it.
Ordering soldiers and followers to arrange arrangements in the open space can reduce the impact of destruction.
When everything was ready, the two royal ministers cooperated with each other to control a well-made puppet.
They used silk threads to control the puppets to open the letters from a long distance away, thus insulating them from physical and mental impacts.
The commander brings his entourage to watch from a distance and can also provide help at critical moments.
The khaki envelope was opened, and everyone's eyes widened, wanting to see clearly what was inside.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a muffled sound was suddenly heard, and the puppet exploded into pieces.
The threads controlling the puppets burned at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards the two royal families to worship them.
The two royal ministers had already been prepared and cut the thread at the same time as the explosion occurred.
But even so, the flames still rushed to the body of the worshiper, directly burning the gorgeous robe.
The gold and silver jewelry they carried melted into liquid instantly after encountering this strange flame.
From this, we can know how terrifying the flame is, and it is definitely not an ordinary flame.
The two royal ministers were burned so much that they screamed strangely and rolled on the ground desperately.
However, this strange flame could not be extinguished at all, but instead burned more and more fiercely.
At the critical moment, the two extraordinary beings used secret techniques, and blood spurted out from the pores on their bodies.
The blood spurted out successfully extinguished the flames.
The two royal ministers were in a state of disgrace, their skins charred and stained with mud and blood.
The clothes he was wearing were completely burned by the flames, and the hair on his body no longer existed.
They lay on the ground with smoke rising from their bodies and moaning in pain.
The onlookers were stunned for a long time, and finally came to their senses when they heard the screams of the royal family.
A group of followers from the royal family rushed forward in a hurry to check the opponent's injuries.
Seeing the royal offering covered in rotting flesh and smelling of burnt smell, the followers didn't know what to do.
The commander standing in the distance was stunned and looked at the letter on the table in horror.
He really couldn't believe that just opening a letter would lead to such terrible harm.
Two powerful royal ministers were burned into such a miserable state without any chance to react.
If an extraordinary person were like this, if he were an ordinary person, he would probably turn into ashes in an instant.
The commander originally thought that he had enough understanding of extraordinary power, but he still had a trace of disdain in his heart.
Now when I look at it, I realize that he only has a superficial understanding and knows nothing about the real extraordinary world.
After being stunned, the commander also realized one thing. If he wanted to solve the problem of pirates, he would ultimately rely on extraordinary beings.
"Save people, hurry up and save people, what are you doing in a daze!"
The commander shouted loudly, asking people to find a military doctor immediately, and rushed forward to express concern.
Military doctors quickly arrived on the scene, cleaned the injured royal priest, and then applied ointment to the surface of the body.
However, the hot body quickly dried the ointment and fell off one after another.
Faced with such a strange injury, the military doctor was helpless and could only do his best at this moment.
