Chapter 227: The Ship Blew Up!
"If you have something to say, what problems can quarrel solve! If you let outsiders know that the dignified Naval Base Council Hall is as lively as the stores on the shopping street, is it a joke?! Lieutenant General Ramirez looked at the escalating situation and stood up, his majestic eyes sweeping towards everyone.
"Your Excellency!" Major Cedric looked at Lieutenant General Ramirez with some reluctance in his tone.
"Cedric, my words don't work?" Lieutenant General Ramirez's hand on the table motioned to Major Sidrik not to continue the pointless argument.
"Yes, sir." Major Cedric glanced at Lieutenant General Ramirez and suppressed the anger in his heart. If anyone will think about the blood navy, it is estimated that only Vice Admiral Ramirez is in front of him.
"Tell me what happened this time." Lieutenant General Ramirez asked, seeing Major Cedric's mood relaxed.
Major Cedric told all the story, especially when it came to Raphael's advancement, and the superiors began to whisper, amazed, incredulous, envious, jealous, and regretful. It's just that at this moment, it seems very pale to say this. Because Raphael and the others have already left the naval base, it can be seen that the Oswid Sacrifice and the Alfrede Sacrifice are also a little dissatisfied with what the military personnel have done!
"What did I say at the time? It's just a small supply ship, what about you? What's the use of arguing and arguing every day? Don't think more about the dead, all you think about is whether your position can be kept. What we should do now is to mourn the dead and give hope to the living! Have you done both of these things? Lieutenant General Ramirez's rhetorical questions silenced everyone's discussions, and he did not act excessively, but told one thing in a bland, factual tone.
"Hey~" Without saying more, Lieutenant General Ramirez got up and left the council chamber, followed by Major Cedric, leaving a group of people looking at each other.
……
On the way back to Port Ibrahim, Raphael and the Sacrifice of Alfrede were asking for knowledge about divine arts, so that the Oswid Sacrifice on the side did not know what was going on, but he also listened attentively, and the Osveld Sacrifice felt that this young magician had a different knowledge of divine magic, and couldn't help but join in this discussion!
"Boom!!"
In the distance, a loud explosion interrupted the conversation between the three of them, and the horses under their crotches were slightly restless, but they calmed down with a little appeasement, these horses were specially trained, and the restlessness just now was not a sign of fear but a sign of eagerness, and to them, such a sound represented the beginning of the battle!
Looking back, the source of the voice turned out to be the naval base, "Do you want to go back and investigate the situation?" The Priest of Alfred looked at the Oswid Priest and asked aloud, when the two temples needed to make a decision, the personnel of the Temple of the God of Battle would still have a higher voice than the personnel of the Temple of the Goddess of Strategy.
"Forget it, it's a bit too positive to return at this time. After all, we are an external force against the aristocracy, and too much interference will allow some people to use it as an opportunity to attack us. It always feels like Port Ibrahim is in a very dangerous situation right now, and our two temples need to be careful. The Osveld priest shook his head thoughtfully, then looked at Raphael. Mr. Raphael, are you going to be a guest at the temple? We are able to provide you with a safe place to stay if required. ”
"Hey, hey, Osvid. What you said is too unkind, Mr. Raphael is a guest named by our goddess, and we should be allowed to provide a place to live. I won't bother you. When the priest Alfred heard this, he was immediately displeased, and hurriedly spoke out to intercept him.
Sure enough, the big fist is the master. This sentence is really credible. "The two of you don't need to quarrel over this little thing, it's just a residence, and the relationship between the two temples is so close, so there is no need to hurt the peace for such a small matter." Raphael was very tactful in resolving the little quarrel. Looking at the location of the naval base, Raphael was actually aware of the explosion, and when the reconnaissance ship returned to sail, Raphael felt something strange under the ship, and when the mental power swept away, he found a person planting a bomb on the bottom of the ship.
Originally, I wanted to say that he would kill directly, but Raphael was a little curious about who wanted to attack, so he let him continue to act. The little fox has sent a Bloodbreed to follow him, and there should be an answer later.
……
"Help!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
"Oh my God, what's going on!"
The explosion of the reconnaissance ship affected the nearby moored ships, and this bomb was specially made by the ghost brand, and the effect was very amazing! The seawater in the port area seems to be an excellent accelerant, and it ignites immediately when it hits a fire, and spreads quickly.
"Quick, put down the fire gate!" The officers kept shouting, while rushing forward to manipulate the levers one by one, but their speed was still much worse than the speed of the flames, the magic crystals in the hull melted under the flames, emitting even hotter flames, and the wood and steel were as vulnerable as paper paste under the flames of the magic crystals!
"Frozen!" Naturally, there are also magicians in the Blood Navy, and they all came when they heard the sound, and when they saw the situation in front of them, they took out their magic staffs one after another, and they threw out the control magic one by one, because of the nature of the army, these magicians are all magicians of the plastic energy department, and they are all personnel who cultivate the water element and the wind element.
"Ice breath!" An old man with a long white beard walked slowly with a long staff in his hand. He lightly spat out the mantra in his mouth, and the staff in his hand with a light blue hue suddenly shone with a burst of dazzling light, like flowing water floating in it, and above the staff, a burst of white mist with cold air drifted towards the surface of the water, covering the flames, and those flames suddenly became well-behaved under the cover of this white mist, and turned into flame crystals, which looked quite beautiful!
It was only the wreckage of the ships that was mixed in with it that ruined the nature of the human view, and many of the more unfortunate naval soldiers suffered severe burns and even lost their lives as a result of this man-made disaster. Not to mention the ships moored in the harbor, such losses are not small!
The high-ranking officials of the naval base came to the location of the port one after another, and their faces were very bad when they saw this sad scene. The loss of the ships was okay, because the rescue was timely, and the losses were all small ships, thanks to the classification of ships berthed in the port, each with its own port of call. Otherwise, this blow just now is enough to cost them cardiac arrest!
"Major Sidrick, what do you explain about this?" A sharp-eyed guy saw Major Sidrik approaching, and couldn't help but ask, what Major Sidrik's behavior in the council chamber had caused dissatisfaction among many high-ranking officers! This shout attracted everyone's attention, and they all turned their eyes to Major Sidrick, and everyone had some questions and puzzles.
After all, there were no problems when the ship went out, so why did there be problems when it came back? Contacting the previous superiors' refusal to provide supplies, everyone had a preconceived notion that this matter was a deliberate move by Major Sidrick!
"Are you doubting me? Do you think I, Sidrik, am the kind of guy who would persecute my colleagues over a trivial matter? Keep your eyes open and see if any of these scars on my body were not suffered to protect the inhabitants of Port Ibrahim?! You actually thought of suspecting me in the first place?! Major Sidric's face had turned red with excitement, making the scar on his face even more hideous!
"What are you shouting about? This incident was caused by the ship you sailed back on, and you yourself are a suspicious opponent, so you had better keep your mouth shut at this moment and cooperate with our inspection! The officer listened to Major Cedric's cries, and his heart was even more dissatisfied, and his words were drowned out loudly.
"Major General Silvestre, I believe in Major Sidrik's character. He wouldn't do such a thing. Vice Admiral Ramirez looked at the officer with a frown, and as soon as Vice Admiral Ramirez spoke, the surrounding Navy soldiers looked away. Lieutenant General Ramirez's prestige was not built up in a day or two.
"Lieutenant General Ramirez, you are covering up, anyone can become a suspect at this time, we should not bring personal feelings. Otherwise, what if it causes even more losses? Major General Silvester said righteously, and his words seemed reasonable, and he looked directly at Lieutenant General Ramirez without fear of his prestige.
"I, Cedric, act above board, and am not afraid of any interrogation. If I am innocent, then I hope Major General Sylvester will be able to give me a duly accountable account! Major Cedric said, tearing off his military rank, but I don't know if when he ripped off this military rank, his heart was also pulled because of this, and a hole was torn open!
"Hey~" Vice Admiral Ramirez felt a deep sense of frustration, which did not come from the failure of the quarrel with Rear Admiral Silvestre, but from the lament of the Blood Navy.
Two soldiers came up behind Major Sidrick, "You don't need to tie me, I won't resist." I'm still waiting for someone to get me justice! Major Cedric broke free from the ropes of the two soldiers and walked ahead. His words made Major General Silvestre's face a little bad.
"Bancroft, have you found anything?" Shaking his head slightly, Lieutenant General Ramirez stepped forward and approached the old magician from before, asking in a respectful tone. This is the only fifth-order mage in the Blood Navy, with the false rank of colonel, but no one will despise him for this.
"This is supposed to be a special explosive made from several kinds of magical raw materials, I just investigated the situation of the incident, although the ship has burned to the ground, but according to the soldiers, this explosive should be installed on the bottom of the ship. As for more, I may need to examine the sea water before I can make a judgment. Bancroft responded to Lieutenant General Ramirez's words in a measured tone, not judging directly, but approaching the matter with the caution of a magician.
"Then I'm sorry for you, Bancroft. Some of us have been scrutinized for this, and we hope you can provide more evidence. Lieutenant General Ramirez glanced at Major General Sylvester and continued.
"Okay, I'll try. I'm not sure I'll have an answer, I'm a sculpting mage rather than a prophecy mage. Bancroft nodded, then removed the tube from the storage ring and melted the condensed ice into a drip of water.
"I understand." Lieutenant General Ramirez bowed and watched Bancroft leave.
……
Back in Port Ibrahim, the inhabitants were back to normal, and although there was still occasional discussion about the Blood Navy, the unease of a few days ago had faded over time, and they crossed the shopping street, where the shops had been lightly renovated and erected new wooden shelves to sell some of the stock in the warehouse. Seeing Raphael's figure, the vendors who received the compensation all saluted him respectfully and thanked him.
At the end of the shopping street, the priest Alfred looked at Raphael, "Then Mr. Raphael, let's separate here first." We are always ready to welcome you. ”
"Okay, then I'll go back first, so that my crew don't think I'm missing." Nodding his head and flicking his horse's head, Raphael slowly left in the sight of everyone.
"I still can't imagine that such a young child is actually a sixth-order existence. I can say that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the person who said this to me must have said something nonsense! The Osveld priest said this with some emotion, and everyone around nodded their heads, not all of them followed the two high priests to the sea, and when they heard the other companions talk about this matter, they were all humorous when they heard this companion of their own go out to the sea, but when the news came out of the mouths of the two high priests, they couldn't help but not believe it, and there was only infinite emotion in their hearts, the demons of this world really made people feel frustrated! At that time, when they heard other companions talk about this, they all humored whether this companion of their own went out to the sea or not, but when the news came out of the mouths of the two high priests, they couldn't help but not believe it, and they only had infinite emotion in their hearts, the demons of this world are really frustrating!
