"Brigadier General Perry, this is our current situation in Rhode Island."
In the office, the blond man handed over a document respectfully.
In front of him sat a silver-haired man wearing an Alaiman military uniform.
His facial features were upright, his face was stern, and his face had a scar left by an unknown source.
All these combinations made Brigadier General Perry look very unkind.
Brigadier General Perry, however, smiled kindly.
After taking the document, he only glanced at it roughly, as if he knew what he was saying:
"Thank you, Polis. Ever since Rhodes Island was disrupted by the Chinese people and retreated from a place close to home to a place of chaos, our work around here has become very difficult.
"Over the years, the role of the island has gradually come into operation, and the seven cities of Luo Island have allowed you to regain control of the two cities, influence the two cities, and return this place to the standards of a border land. The credit for this is inseparable from you.
"After this inspection and mission are over, I will ask the headquarters to take credit for you."
Brigadier General Perry said.
His words made Polis couldn't help but feel excited, but on the surface he remained normal.
Many years ago, our side attacked Hecarim and Bahamut, the border areas of the Chinese domain, both covertly and covertly.
As a result, Hecarim outside Xishan City's work in returning to the Chinese Territory was completely destroyed, and Bahamut was knocked down from the status of the Border Land to the Land of Chaos.
But the move didn't come without a cost.
The lunatics from Huayu were waiting for the situation, but they were still able to find the strength to fight back...
The most intuitive result is that Rhode Island, located offshore of Bahamut, suffered heavy revenge.
This place once belonged to the Alaiman Territory. However, after that year, Rhode Island, like Bahamut, became a place of chaos. The seven cities on the island were each occupied by each other, and multiple outside territories secretly intervened to cause destruction, causing damage further afield. The Alman Territory and several border areas along the mainland were all attacked in the same way.
This has also caused the Alaiman domain to fall into the same embarrassing situation as the Chinese domain in terms of airspace on this route.
The originally good situation and even further turned into nonsense. The overseas situation was even worse than before, and Bahamut had to be much more cautious in penetrating and controlling Bahamut.
After all, there are unconventional methods that can allow some strong people to cross to Bahamut.
But if it is discovered, the losses will be very heavy, and it is a trump card that should not be used lightly until the critical moment.
And Tabolis came here for this purpose, even to this day.
It’s pretty obvious what the job is.
First, "repair" the Alaiman Realm's control over the chaotic land of Rhodes Island.
Secondly, we will re-establish reliable overseas transit amid the chaos and provide support for the development of work in various places.
Thirdly, this place is the closest to Bahamut. Even a small stronghold or transit station can provide considerable support to the work there and increase the confidence of those wandering forces.
This job is a chore.
If you do a good job, you will be rewarded and promoted to a higher-ranking firefighter. There is a high probability that you will be sent to another place to continue your previous work.
And if you don't do it well, whether you can retire safely is a problem.
The recognition given by Brigadier General Perry who arrived was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Polis.
This is a man of real power!
The other party belongs to the Alaiman Domain and is the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Management Bureau.
In reality, they are the bosses who are in charge of these overseas coolies.
While Polis was thinking about the future, Brigadier General Perry said a word to bring him back from his fugue.
"Polis, how is Bahamut doing?" Perry asked.
"Go back to Brigadier Perry, everything is business as usual." Polis replied without thinking.
"Oh." Perry said calmly.
Polis suddenly had a layer of sweat on his back, his head was hot, and his blood was rising.
He felt like he was such a *** for giving such a reply!
What the hell do you call business as usual...
Everything is as usual, why is my mother Xipi doing this damn place?
Doesn’t she smell good with the coffee and secretary in the domain——
In an instant, Polis regained his alertness and added in an instant:
"But the situation is not good, Brigadier!"
He tried to appear calm, at least to the point of appearing.
You can't show that you made a mistake and immediately made up for it.
That would be really cool.
Sure enough, Polis's remedy aroused Perry's interest.
Brigadier General Perry still smiled and asked in the same tone as usual:
"What's wrong?"
Polis's mind was racing and he was complaining in his heart.
He is just the person in charge of Rhode Island...
It’s not like I’m from Bahamut’s side, so you asked me to tell you something bad...
I must know the details——?
But when it comes to your mouth, you can't say it like this, maybe it will cause confusion.
Maybe it's the commonality of these people involved, or maybe it's because they've been staying in China for a long time...
Polis inspires "traditional arts" to reply:
"Commodore, you also know about Bahamut's forces.
"The first is the separated Khalsa family. Although they have moved closer to us, they are like a group of vampires in the sewers, and the weeds on the walls are always swaying in the wind.
"Obviously, they maintain a clear relationship with us, but due to the situation in the Chaos Land, their jurisdictional distance from us, and their proximity to the Chinese Territory, the contribution they can make and the support we give have long been out of balance.
"Those Khalsa tribesmen who are facing us are actually more or less ambiguous with the Huayu. From their standpoint, it is certainly correct, but it is a hidden betrayal to us in the Alaimanyu. It is hard to tell people. Hi, not to mention that the rest of Bahamut's forces are also very troublesome.
"Although I am a staff member of Rhodes Island, I have frequent contacts with Bahamut, so I know how difficult it is. Personally speaking, I have wanted to contact the brother departments there more than once and jointly apply to you, Brigadier General. Report, requesting re-examination of the treatment of Bahamut.
"Rhodes Island, as a key bridge node, is always in need of improvement. We are also under great pressure. Most of the resources and transportation power are used on Bahamut, and every time we get The relevant briefings gave me the feeling that they were all lost and were objectively hindering the progress of Rhode Island and even other places.”
[In view of the general environment,
Polis said quickly.
On the surface, he seems to be caring about everyone around him.
In fact, it is true that it is both overt and covert.
The person in charge was the person in charge of Bahamut, objectively speaking about his difficulties.
Being too far from the Alaiman region and too close to the Chinese region is painful for these people.
Even though he has many advantages and advantages, he still has to control everything with fear every day.
And Polis——
The one who stepped on it was also the person in charge of Bahamut.
It implies that even he, an outsider, can clearly see the situation, and the person in charge of Bahamut cannot be unclear. After all, if that person did not understand the situation, he would have died on the street before long.
So over the years, why has it been so difficult to make any gains except in the early stages?
It's simple, the person in charge there is too arrogant.
I want to accomplish this thing alone, ask for others, and achieve success for myself.
At least Polis's words highlighted his position and problems.
Having said this, Brigadier General Perry nodded slowly, but did not make any statement.
But Polis was relieved.
He couldn't be sure that the bet was right.
Obviously, Brigadier General Perry's sudden visit may be to make adjustments to Bahamut.
Also a possibility......
"Is there something wrong over there?" Polis was instantly alert.
This matter did not allow him to be vigilant and think like this.
If it is Ba
If something goes wrong with Hamut, or even to the extreme, he is regained control by the forces in the Chinese domain, then his Rhode Island will be next. This is a bitter relationship, and it is also an inevitable ending.
Rhodes Island used to be the largest extension of the Alaiman Territory, but after the two parties have experienced these things, basically as long as there is a chance, they will choose to take a punch without tearing their skin, but tearing their hands. .
For the people of the Chinese Region, if you, the Alaiman Region, can disgust my Bahamut, then I, the Chinese Region, would rub my hands and come to your Rhodes Island to cause trouble. It is a courtesy exchange. Isn't it wonderful?
Thinking of this, Polis couldn't help but feel anxious.
But he didn't dare to ask directly. He could only wait for the brigadier general's arrangements and think about how to escape from the ground.
"Boris, are you forty-two years old?" Brigadier General Perry asked in a change of words.
"Yes, Mr. Perry." Polis was stunned for a moment and then replied.
Polis looked at him and saw that Brigadier General Perry had short silver hair and a vicissitudes of voice. He was obviously quite old, but it seemed that the weathering of his years had not left many traces on him.
When I look back at myself, when I look at myself in the mirror when I wash up in the morning recently, my age is equal to eight yuan, and I have an extra four ounces of flesh hanging on my cheeks.
At this time, Brigadier General Perry said again:
"After I finish handling the matter over there, you can follow me.
"I think it probably won't take long. It all depends on your personal wishes."
Polis also understood instantly.
He suppressed his complicated and suspicious emotions, but said in a fair and upright manner:
"Mr. Perry, the situation in Rhode Island is complicated and undercurrents are surging. Although it is not as dangerous as Bahamut and other places, it is still a danger. If I can follow you, it means that there will be a lot of time that I cannot control. This place is contrary to my mission. If so, I hope Mr. Perry can arrange for a capable person to come and take over!"
What did Polis understand and what was he surprised about?
He understood Perry's affirmation, which was a change in Bahamut's aspect.
But Polis was alarmed by a deeper signal.
Surprisingly, the other party was willing to accept him and join Perry's faction.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for a person like him who has no background.
But what he doubted was also the other party's acceptance.
Want to follow him Perry?
no problem--
First release the location of Rhode Island and hand it over to his people.
This is an exchange, and it is also a signal for Commodore Perry to rein in Bahamut's forces. Polis is not sure whether the other party is trying to make a big deal, and when the opportunity comes to his mouth, he can't refuse it.
In other words, I dare not refuse.
Therefore, when he said this, those replies can be said to be useless nonsense.
The only key point is to point out that it is not easy for Rhode Island to achieve what it has now. You Perry can't abandon me and make the pie in vain. And the last sentence directly points out that if everything goes well, then Rhode Island's recovery will be credited. , Polis is willing to give you a more core direct line in exchange for a certificate of nomination.
Brigadier General Perry didn't know whether he understood the other party's inner struggle, but he still said in the same tone:
"Well, I will arrange for someone to come over soon and let him follow you."
His words made Polis feel relieved.
The other party did not seize power directly, but sent people to gradually take over. This at least proved that Perry was willing to let him communicate and make friends with his direct descendants, which was a good start.
At this time, Perry leaned back and said in an unclear tone:
"It's January now, there seems to be a festival over there in Huayu?"
Upon seeing this, Polis said respectfully:
"Yes, sir, tomorrow is the Spring Festival in Huayu."
"Oh." Perry nodded and then said again:
"About two months ago, I received information that the old guy Xue Xie officially put a girl named Erza, the daughter of the former orthodox head of the Khalsa family, on the stage. Apparently there was a new understanding of Bahamut there. Thoughts and actions, that person should currently be in Hecarim's city
.
"Although there is still no movement after such a long time, we have to be careful. After all, it is the person arranged by Xue Xie. Needless to say his ability, Rhode Island must also strengthen inspections, whether it is the personnel and goods of other forces. Whether it’s ours or not, you have to investigate every detail, and I will go to Bahamut to observe the situation.”
Perry said this and stood up immediately, as if ready to set off directly.
And his words also shocked Polis, and he secretly thought:
"Yes, Mr. Brigadier General, my subordinates must personally do this. Even if it is a town or port that is not under my jurisdiction, I will have people go to observe it. Things that are diverted to any place will be traced and recorded to ensure that no one is missed!"
Seeing Polis's attitude and determination, Perry nodded with satisfaction:
"Go and prepare a man with strong blood, under thirty years old."
Hearing this, Polis hurriedly responded.
It didn't take long.
His subordinates walked in on top of a man whose body, mouth and eyes were entangled, and immediately left.
Polis retreated to one side of the room, seemingly knowing what the other party was going to do.
I saw Brigadier General Perry walking forward and coming to the man.
He clapped his hands together, raised them and lowered them, and his rough palms made a sound like sandpaper.
Perry narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly:
"Take me to Bahamut."
Suddenly, a disc of light appeared behind him, spinning endlessly.
An unknown voice sounded from it:
"As a price, he is mine."
Perry replied, "He's yours."
The next moment, the bound man seemed to feel a terrible pain. He let out a muffled whimper, and ash began to fly from his skin, followed by his muscles and bones. In less than five breaths, this An unknown man disappeared from this world, dead and unable to die again.
Polis on the side looked at this scene with a little envy in his eyes.
This is one of the core inheritances of the Alaiman Realm’s secrets: the contract system.
The composition of the contract system comes from some inexplicable existences, and most of these existences were born in secrets. They signed contracts with the Alaimans, and like the mysterious system that exists all over the world, they exchange abilities for a price.
But what is different from mysterious abilities is that, whether it is spells, rituals, secret rituals, or secret rituals, their effects are relative to the force. You get what you pay for, but the contract system does not. Sometimes these entities will be affected by various factors. The reason is that the price was collected but the contract was refused to be performed.
This also makes the inheritance of the Alaiman Domain be ridiculed by other domains from time to time.
However, one thing I have to admit is that this contract system is very strong.
It is very light in terms of continuous combat capability and training of combatants.
Compared with the mysterious system, it takes a lot of time to learn a single technique. The Alemans only need to sign a contract with those beings to have abilities.
With a certain amount of combat training, one can become a qualified warrior in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for those beings, many of whom have picky appetites, the Alaiman Realm might have already been unified.
After all, most of the normal mysterious systems will obtain the negative state of the body, which also creates the main theme of the current battle. It is always fast, accurate and ruthless with sufficient preparation. The Alemans do not have so many scruples in this regard.
Unless there is a need for higher power, or unexpected circumstances, everything is set.
Not to mention that there are many contracts, like Commodore Perry's, at the expense of others.
The contract ability used by Perry is said to be a contract with a space demon.
In the Alaiman Realm, this ability can only be obtained with two palms. This mobility alone is enough to make him an important core member, not to mention that Brigadier General Perry also has many contracts. , and even possesses magical abilities.
While Polis was thinking about it, he saw a huge mouth appear out of thin air where the man disappeared.
The huge mouth that suddenly appeared was bigger and wider than the door. Its tongue was like a carpet, and the words in its upper and lower mouth were
The teeth were like sharp blades and decorations. Brigadier General Perry glanced at Polis before stepping forward, then fully entered, and the mouth slowly closed and disappeared.
When Brigadier General Perry left, Polis breathed a sigh of relief.
Who knows how much pressure he has endured in such a short period of time.
Not long ago, everyone was caught off guard by Perry's sudden visit.
Polis's beautiful day was interrupted even more.
Now if you ask him to find the woman he keeps, he won't be interested.
After thinking about this, Polis smiled bitterly and sighed, sitting where Perry was sitting before, which was also his own seat.
He picked up the terminal and began to understand the summary of the situation in various ports today.
Things must be done eventually, right?
And soon, Polis discovered a problem.
"The freighter Liberty 7 is three days late and is about to dock?"
Polis frowned and whispered.
Freighter Liberty No. 7 is an ocean-going company in the Alaiman region. Just like other regions, it is a clean and well-behaved commercial company on the surface, but behind the scenes it relies on various officials and maintains normalcy. In business mode, it actually helps the officials do various things.
As for this cargo ship, it arrived in the direction of Bahamut about twenty days ago to provide resources for the place, including but not limited to some normal items that are in short supply and making huge profits, as well as a large number of various mysterious related items. Provide help in fighting against Chinese forces and intervention.
The normal sailing route is to arrive directly at Bahamut when arriving, and when returning, pass by Rhodes Island in Polis for a short period of repairs, and leave with some valuable items. However, it was stagnant for three days, which made people feel uncomfortable. Don't be wary.
Thinking like this, Polis picked up the landline and started to give instructions:
"Freedom 7 is allowed to dock, and the docking direction is changed to Zephyr Port.
"No people or goods on the ship can get off the ship. Wait there while I lead a team to inspect."
Zephyr Port, located directly west of Rhodes Island, is a place that Polis has complete control over.
After some instructions and warnings, Polis picked up his energy and went out immediately——
The words were divided into two sides, Brigadier General Perry.
He stepped out of the devil's mouth or door.
When Perry stood on this land, the giant mouth behind him automatically disappeared.
He looked at the unfamiliar scenes around him and knew that he was randomly teleported to a certain place in Bahamut.
But Perry has long been used to it. After all, it's just the price of one person's death.
It's really unreasonable to want the contracted demon to accurately deliver to you, but...
"This place is a bit too remote."
Perrie thought expressionlessly as he picked up the terminal and prepared to determine the location.
At this moment, an old hand patted his shoulder.
This time, he found that most of his body was out of control, and his power was even less able to function.
This made Perry's eyes flash with astonishment, and then he saw not far away from him——
A woman appears out of nowhere.
She was wearing a black trench coat, holding a cigarette in her mouth, and looking at herself.
In his ears, an old joking voice came:
"Hey, isn't this Brigadier General Perry?
"I watch the stars at night. I think you will become a star next year~
"It's really gratifying. No, I'll send it to you personally, old man."
Xue Xie laughed like an old fox.
Perry, who was under control, maintained his expression and said calmly:
"Nan Mingshi, I am the Brigadier General of the Alaiman Territory, and I have not crossed into your territory.
"This is also a place of chaos, and it doesn't belong to ***.
"Isn't it good for you to be like this?"
Hearing these words, Xue Xie raised his eyebrows and raised his tone:
"Oh? Really.
"Look at this?"
As he said that, Xue Xie conjured a terminal out of nowhere and put it in front of Perry.
There was a positioning map on the screen. After Perry looked at it, his penis couldn't stop expanding.
This is not Bahamut.
But——
Hecarim.
Less than one kilometer away from the Bahamut sideline!
Perry suddenly thought of a possibility, that he was sold by the space demon.
I'm afraid, this is the only possibility.
And that damn old fox next to my ear said in an annoyed tone again:
"You're scared, Perry.
"Back then, you sacrificed 1,200 people of Chinese descent from the Alaiman Territory as the price.
"We will remember to bring those people to Bahamut, hehe.
"The pursuit order issued by our Huayu against you has not been revoked. Could it be that you have forgotten it?"
In the silence, the woman opposite took a puff of smoke and said impatiently:
"Hurry up, Mr. Xue.
"Is this place ready?"
Hearing this, Xue Xie said with a smile:
"As for the fight, leave it to Xiao Zang.
"Practice hard, talents are rare——"
...
The other side.
Rhode Island, Zephyr Harbor.
Polis arrived here in a hurry.
He looked at the freighters docked in the distance and the inspectors on the port shore.
When Polis saw the person in charge running towards him, he said:
"Have you figured out the situation?
"Is the response slow?
"Has the trajectory been verified?"
Polis's three questions showed that he has not weakened in quality.
The person in charge of the port nodded heavily when he saw this:
"Yes, sir, the captain said that there was a resource allocation problem on Bahamut's side, so he coordinated as the person in charge, which delayed it for a few days. To be able to arrive today, they have already ramped up their efforts.
"There are no problems with the response. Personnel with detection rituals have conducted a preliminary investigation and everything is normal. Next, we are going to conduct personnel verification and merchant ship inspection, which will take some time.
"The trajectory aspect has also been in contact with Bahamut to confirm that there is indeed a problem. The timeline is correct. The captain hopes that his personnel can come down immediately to make repairs. Do you think...?"
The port director was a bit embarrassed to ask for advice.
He knew the origin of the merchant ship. Even though the other party was just a captain, and he was the person in charge of the port, it seemed that he was older than the other party, but in reality, if both parties went to the territory to implement their ranks, the other party might be several times higher than him. There are more levels, even higher than the level of Polis.
The other party's request is also normal, and there is no problem according to the unspoken rules.
Normally, this is basically what we do from top to bottom.
The only variable is that today his boss, Polis, called him personally.
Therefore, the decision-making power was given to Polis by the port director, and he took it out himself.
Surprisingly, Polis didn't seem to want to do this. He looked at the person in charge seriously:
"Nothing is trivial. They will come down one by one. Then we will board the ship to check and make sure there are no problems. Do you understand what I mean?"
Faced with Polis's righteous words and private criticism, the port director was speechless for a moment.
Isn't this trend brought up by you?
***Isn’t it because you beat too fast during the day and lose face to gain a sense of presence?
Blanch you...
The person in charge thought inwardly, but his face quickly responded:
"Then I'll tell the captain what you mean."
Polis also understands the other party's desire to shirk responsibility.
But this is what he wants, so don’t complain and complain too much...
How to demonstrate the seriousness of every explanation given by Brigadier General Perry?
So, in answer
Next, the person in charge will contact you.
...
Liberty 7, captain's wheelhouse.
"Um, okay, wait a minute."
The captain hung up the phone temporarily, turned to look at the person next to him, lowered his head and said:
"Sir, they asked me to wait for a single person to undergo investigation, and they also wanted to inspect the merchant ship."
Beside the captain, there was a mysterious man standing.
He was wearing a very strange purple outer garment, which looked like a robe and clothes. It was an unprecedented decoration in this world.
And there was a mask on his face.
The mask has flame patterns on a white background, and the eyes under the eye holes are completely scarlet for some unknown reason.
"Follow what they say, and you can go on normally without being discovered.
"As for me, you don't have to worry about it."
The masked man said calmly.
Hearing this, the captain lowered his head and said:
"Then I will reply right away, Lord Zhulong."
As the order was issued, the crew members went down one by one for investigation.
This investigation includes but is not limited to physical and mental status as well as mysterious reactions, such as whether there is any mysterious bewitchment, etc.
This time, his workload has increased exponentially, and depending on the situation, he may not be able to finish it until the early morning.
Fortunately, everything went well.
Whether it's the view from the driver's cab or the sigh of relief at the port.
The crew members looked normal and accepted the corresponding investigation.
Because some crew members often come here, they can also get to know some of the staff, and they can even chat with each other familiarly. Polis looked at the investigation work in the distance and the test reports that everything was normal, and he felt vigilant in his heart. Also let go slowly.
So far.
Polis greeted the person in charge and left the place first, saying he would come back for boarding inspection.
But Polis and the others didn't notice...
There are some bugs crawling around the bodies of these normal crew members.
Neither the machine nor the mysterious ability can detect it.
It's as if there has never been such a thing.
Until the captain also went down for inspection, only the masked man was left in the captain's room.
At this time, he took off his mask, and his face was slowly flowing like blood gathering.
It's no wonder that the eye holes of the mask are scarlet. After all, this man doesn't even have any facial features.
But the next moment, the head where the blood gathered changed, and a face appeared.
He is a leftist.
"The landing on the island went smoothly, which is good."
"It's worth all the time I spent preparing, haha."
