The G-18 Fortress suffered heavy losses, and it can even be said that the entire army was close to annihilation.
Looking back at the vague warships behind him, Xia Le felt a little heavy.
Since Roger's death, he has been here to serve. It is impossible to say that there is no emotion.
The battle with the golden lion, the shattered G-18 fortress, the impact when the island was pressed down, and the devouring of the tsunami.
All this made it impossible for most of the soldiers in the fortress to escape.
And this is exactly what is terrifying about the top powerhouses in this world. If you act recklessly, you can overturn an island in an instant and kill tens of millions of civilians.
After a while, the remaining dozen or so warships docked one after another.
The soldiers quickly disembarked from the boat and stood on this huge island, looking around, looking dazed and confused.
It was unimaginable that the Golden Lion had just used such a huge island as a weapon.
"Fortress G-18 is destroyed."
"Then we will rebuild a new base on this island!"
The breeze blew, and the flowers, plants and trees on the island swayed, and Xia Le's voice came out softly.
Afterwards, he wandered among the islands.
It must be said that the Golden Lion has a very good sense in choosing islands.
There are a total of five islands in this island group. There is a huge island in the center and four small islands of different sizes around it.
The empty areas of the five islands form inner bays when they fall on the sea.
"The arrival of the Golden Lion has caused the G-18 Fortress to lose almost all of its troops."
Barrett followed behind and said in a deep voice.
"If Lao Sha was here this time, maybe we wouldn't be so passive."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists.
Hearing this, Xia Le stopped and said, "Everyone should have something to do."
"Lao Sha also has his own tasks to complete."
Barrett sighed, but still couldn't accept it: "Damn it!"
Most of the soldiers in the military fortress he had worked so hard to build over the years were elites trained by him.
He did not go to the battlefield, but died in such an accident, which really made him feel aggrieved.
"When the new base is built, we will send troops to the West Sea to recruit troops."
After a pause, Xia Le sighed softly.
"We are still too weak!"
Barrett was silent, his fists tightly clenched.
His combined fruit was of little use when faced with an attack like that of Golden Lion Shiji, who directly controlled the island.
This kind of natural disaster, which is like the end of the world, is too destructive.
"I will definitely become stronger!!"
"Sooner or later, I'll catch up with you guys who are at the top of the world!"
Gritting his teeth, Barrett swore fiercely.
Xia Le looked ahead, seeing lush woods, flowing rivers, and various small animals jumping around on the island.
This is a better island, perfect for building a base.
Turning his head, Xia Le looked at Eveya and others.
T. Penn walked up to the soldiers one by one, bent down with concern and asked about their injuries.
Bucky and Smoker both had tears on their faces. For the two young men, this was probably the first time they had experienced such a painful experience.
Especially Bucky, who saw his men split in half by Shiji with his own eyes.
"Awaken!!"
"I must let my fruit awaken!!"
Bucky shouted.
"I swear too!"
"From today on, I will never see my friends or colleagues die in front of me again!"
"I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger than anyone else!"
"Become a strong man surpassing Golden Lion Shiji!!"
Smoker yelled as well.
Xia Le glanced at the faces. Everyone gritted their teeth and looked angry and sad.
He knew very well that from this moment on, a seed of becoming stronger was deeply buried in the hearts of these people.
Experiencing suffering only makes survivors stronger.
"Life is never a smooth road!"
With a sigh, Xia Le felt relatively calm.
War is never without sacrifice.
The world is inherently cruel, and peace is just a disguise to cover up war, and it is an accident in the long river of time.
"warship!!"
"Our people are coming to support!"
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the shore.
Xia Le looked around, and soon saw the man in the front, dressed in navy uniform, with a green pepper with the rank of major general on his shoulders.
"It's the Navy branch of the Kingdom of Flowers!"
"It should be the aftermath of the battle between Lieutenant General Xia Le and the Golden Lion that has affected them!"
The marines discussed.
After a while, Qingjiao's warship docked and quickly came to Xia Le.
"what's going on?"
"Where's the G-18 Fortress?"
There was shock and nervousness on his face.
Along the way, he was shocked by the wreckage of warships, floating soldiers, and broken base fragments all over the sea.
As you can imagine, the G-18 Fortress definitely experienced a horrific war.
"The golden lion arrived not long ago and destroyed the fortress."
Xia Le said in a deep voice.
Seeing the horror on the other person's face, he sighed again.
"We will build a brand new base on this island!"
"You are responsible and help collect the corpses of soldiers on the sea!"
Qingjiao took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I understand!"
"Where's the golden lion?"
Xia Le's eyes flashed and he slowly raised his right hand.
Then, in Qingjiao's confused eyes, the five fingers of his right hand suddenly bent and hooked.
"Kacha!"
Ahead, a cone-shaped mountain several hundred meters in size floated up in an instant, standing quietly in the void.
"This is?!"
Green Pepper's eyes widened and she took a breath.
He then stared at Xia Le, the shock in his heart was unimaginable.
"I beat him."
"And gained the power of this fruit!"
Xia Le said lightly.
As soon as his hand loosened, the mountain slowly fell, creating a circle of ripples.
"I, I remember that you were originally a user with the Thunder Fruit ability?"
Qingjiao said tremblingly.
He looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly, a bold guess came to his mind.
The next second, he saw blue arcs filling the opponent's body.
"You guessed it right."
"I do have the power of two devil fruits now!"
Xia Le smiled lightly.
"It's really true?!!"
Qingjiao's heart was shaken.
This kind of thing has probably never happened in the whole world. Some people only have the power of one fruit and are already among the powerful.
But the man in front of me actually mastered two abilities!
How far has he reached?
Xia Le glanced at him and could naturally see what the other person was thinking.
"The Kingdom of Flowers branch will also be asked to help with the reconstruction of the base in the future."
Qingjiao took a deep breath: "This is natural."
After that, all branches in the West China Sea received the news, and officers from all over the country arrived at the island with serious faces.
With such a huge event happening in the West China Sea, no one can sit still.
After seeing Lieutenant General Xia Le who was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It can be said that all current naval work in the West China Sea basically revolves around Vice Admiral Xia Le.
Once something happens to their superior, the pressure they will face in the future will be extremely huge.
This unexpected meeting of the Xihai Navy branch took place in a forest.
There were densely packed naval forces standing in the jungle, each with a military rank above the school level on their bodies, and they looked solemn.
Qingjiao also stood among them, in the front row.
After calculation, he was a little surprised at the moment.
"Lieutenant General Xia Le, these years of management have made Xihai so much stronger."
"There are an astonishing two thousand strong men at the school officer level alone."
"I don't remember this amount before."
Two thousand school officers stood in the jungle, uniformly uniform, and no sound was heard, which clearly shows their eliteness.
Xia Le glanced around and suddenly chuckled.
"What's wrong?"
"Why are you all coming to my place?"
"Are there no jobs in the area you are responsible for?"
Sarok, the person in charge of Troia Island, said with an anxious expression: "We are worried about the headquarters and you, Lieutenant General, that's why."
The other school officials all agreed.
Most of them were elite soldiers selected from the first batch of G-18 Fortress and were assigned to take up positions in various regions.
It can be said that G-18 Fortress is their hometown.
When he heard about the accident at the fortress, he was shocked and anxiously called on his subordinates to rush over.
"A mere golden lion can't do anything to me."
Xia Le said in a deep voice.
Then, he sighed again.
"However, this time, the reconstruction of the base does require the help of each branch."
"Assemble a group of craftsmen as much as possible and go here to build a new base."
"In addition, each branch will increase the scale and scope of recruiting troops."
When the voice came out, the whole place fell into silence. Only after Xia Le finished all his words did a neat voice come out.
"yes!!"
The base reconstruction work was carried out very quickly and started on the same day.
In the afternoon of the second day, Capone Becky arrived.
"I have ordered the shipyards to work overtime to build warships."
"Of the thirty warships built before, ten of them were sent over first, and they are currently docked on the shore."
"Twenty spaceships have also been transferred."
After a pause, Kapenbeki said again.
"Currently, our warships and spaceships are sufficient."
"I can handle the artillery shells and firearms. However, after going through this battle, your troops, leader, are insufficient."
Hearing this, Xia Le frowned.
"Continue to build warships and spaceships."
"Especially when it comes to building spaceships, the more, the better."
Capone Becky was shocked: "Yes!"
"Also, I'll let you go around collecting devil fruits."
Xia Le said softly.
"Chief, Devil Fruits are not cabbage. How can they be so easy to find!"
"We won't encounter any auctions in the entire West China Sea once a year."
"On the contrary, there should be more on the side of the Grand Channel."
"But most of the powerful fruits are probably controlled by the navy and the world government."
Capone Becky said aggrievedly.
"That's true!"
Xia Le paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Just pay more attention to it. I'm not forcing you."
Capone Becky breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said cautiously.
"Chief, I usually perform some tasks, and the level of danger is relatively high."
"Is it possible to equip a fleet of five spaceships?"
Hearing this, Xia Le turned to look at the other party.
Capone Becky's heart suddenly trembled, and he secretly thought that he shouldn't be so rash.
"hehe."
"I will give you ten ships, but you need to train the escorts on the ships yourself."
"However, your people can also be sent to the base under Barrett's personal guidance."
"If you have outstanding talent, you can also learn the Six Styles."
After a while, Xia Le's voice came out slowly.
Capone Becky's whole body was shaken, and then he became excited and excited. He quickly bent over and said, "Thank you, Chief!!"
Personally controlling a fleet of spaceships has been his biggest dream in recent times.
Soon after, Capone Becky left contentedly.
Immediately afterwards, a vast construction team entered the island, and after professional design and discussion, the construction work of the new base was quickly decided.
"The four affiliated islands can be built as guard bases."
"The main base is the central island, and residential areas, entertainment areas, training grounds, streets, etc. are established."
"The green plants on the island will not be changed. The ferocious animals in the wild can be used as test subjects for new recruits."
"I heard that Lieutenant General Xia Le said that this island will be built as a floating island."
"Then we can pick a place and build it as a spaceship port."
"······"
After intense discussions, construction quickly began.
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed since the battle with the Golden Lion.
On this day, Xia Le was sitting in the newly built office when the phone suddenly rang.
Eveya answered the call: "Hello, Xihai Headquarters."
But two or three seconds later, her expression suddenly changed, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the officer beside her.
"how?"
"Is there another major incident?"
Xia Le said lightly.
"It's the headquarters."
Eveya said.
Hearing this, Xia Le's expression suddenly froze.
Then, he took the phone bug from Eveya's hand.
"Xia Le!"
The familiar voice, but also feeling a little strange, made Xia Le feel dazed for a moment.
"Warring States General!"
Soon, he reacted and smiled.
"I heard that the Golden Lion sneak attacked your G-18 fortress?"
Warring States asked in a deep voice.
"good."
Xia Le nodded, his eyes twinkling slightly.
He was thinking about the meaning behind this phone call from the headquarters.
"How's it going?"
Warring States asked.
"Fortress G-18 no longer exists."
"We're building a new base."
Xia Le sighed.
"Do you need help from our headquarters?"
Warring States also sighed.
"It's not needed at the moment. Thank you for your kindness."
Xia Le smiled and thanked.
"well!"
"Xia Le, there is no need to be so hostile between you and me."
Warring States shook his head and sighed.
"Even though the O'Hara incident happened before, you and I are still marines as we are now."
"Isn't it?"
Hearing this, Xia Le was silent for a while, and then a smile appeared on his lips after a while.
"You're right."
"Although each other's definition of justice is different."
"But, we are all marines!"
Zheng Guo, who was sitting at his desk, looked slightly frozen, and he naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words.
"There is one thing."
Tapping his index finger on the table, Warring States said in a deep voice.
"General of the Warring States Period, please speak."
Xia Le said.
"Our people in the Grand Channel brought back a piece of information not long ago."
The Warring States Period seems to be organizing language.
After a slight hesitation, his tone became more serious.
"One of your guys."
"It seems that he appeared on a pirate ship as the captain."
When Xia Le heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Who?"
"Crocodale!"
Warring States Road.
"oh?"
Xia Le grinned.
"Did that guy rebel?"
