Chapter Seventy-Seven: Three Merits
The fast frigate hung full sails, the wind carried the torrential rain, whipped the white spinnaker like a whip, and the slender hull whistled across the sea, as dexterous and fast as a dolphin.
From the shallow bay of the foreshore area, around a small reef headland, you can see the lights near the old pier No. 2.
The lightning tore through the clouds again and again, and the downpour hit the head and face, and it actually hurt a little.
Joe stood on the bow of the frigate, his hands clasped on the guardrail, and by the bright light of the lightning burst, he saw a group of dolphins jumping up from the sea in the harbor of Tulun, making a huge splash on the surface of the sea.
With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning fell almost vertically from the dark clouds and slammed into the sea.
On the surface of the sea near the group of dolphins, a large area of blue electric light lit up, and the dolphins let out high-pitched chirpings as they jumped.
These guys are so excited!
Joe let the torrential rain whipped him, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at the cheerful, excited sea elves.
"I love this bunch of guys...... Well, I prefer their distant relatives! Say, demon killer whales? I love them so much that I even start to miss them! Qiao Chao stood on the deck behind him, his hands on his chest, but his body was as steady as a mountain, and Rear Admiral Duolong, who let the frigate shake violently and his body did not move at all, yelled.
"Their distant relatives?" Major General Doron shrugged his shoulders: "Devil killer whale, I haven't seen it." All I care about is these guys, are they delicious? ”
Joe rolled his eyes: "Don't tell the sailors that you want to eat dolphins, they'll stab you in the back." Haha, these babies, but the protectors of the sailors, the ocean-going sailors of my family's chamber of commerce, all have dolphin tattoos on their bodies! ”
Major General Doron pouted.
As an Armyman, he hated the ...... Or, what he hates is the feeling of being empty, ethereal, and unable to keep his feet on the ground.
Joe took a deep look at the group of happy dolphins, and the three frigates quickly rowed across the sea, and the group of dolphins screamed excitedly, turning their heads and chasing after the frigates.
They were faster and more nimble than the frigates, and they saw Joe standing at the bow of the ship, and several vigorous adult dolphins jumped high and flicked their tails vigorously, splashing large swaths of sea water on Joe's body.
"Bastard thing!" Joe couldn't help but laugh 'haha' as he gestured his middle finger at the dolphins and shouted, "You bastards, you bastards don't have anything to feed you today, what a bunch of bastards!" ”
"Do you know them?" Major General Doron asked Joe aloud in disbelief.
"The sailors of the port of Tulum knew them...... Just the family, they are the hegemon of Tulun Port, and thanks to them, no shark can invade Tulun Port. Joe pointed to one of the biggest dolphins and shouted, "That's Cha Cha, ha, they're doing a great job, aren't they?" ”
The five Imperial Major Generals pouted at the same time.
The frigate quickly approached the No. 2 old pier, and the sailors who operated the ship roared loudly, and when the battleship was still more than 2,000 feet away from the berth of the trestle, they lowered most of the sails, and the frigate slid forward by inertia, and then the three frigates drew a large arc two hundred feet in front of the berth, forming a perfect lateral firing array.
The sails were lowered, the anchor was lowered, and several speedboats were thrown off the surface.
Joe and a group of soldiers jumped into the speedboat, picked up the pulp and paddled to the dock. Behind them, the gun doors of the three frigates slid open towards the dock, and one by one the black guns poked their heads out.
The five Imperial Major Generals, along with the accompanying group of officers of the rank of major and above, as well as a dozen or so good men of the Weitu family, did not board the speedboat.
With a flash of lightning and thunder, these guys leaped to their feet.
The five most powerful major generals, as well as the two captains of the guards of the Tooth and Wittu families, like huge grasshoppers, jumped directly over the sea two hundred feet wide and landed heavily on the trestle.
A large group of colonel-level officers of the Imperial Army, holding broken wooden planks and rotten buckets in their hands that they didn't know where to find, jumped more than a hundred feet, and then threw the planks and barrels in their hands on the surface of the sea.
A low popping sound rang out continuously, and dozens of splashes exploded on the surface of the sea.
The fellows stepped heavily on the planks and barrels, and then jumped up again and jumped onto the pier with ease.
"Wow!" Joe whistled hard, his eyes widened sharply, and he muttered, "That's amazing...... I should...... Also available ......"
"I'm coming!" Joe yelled hard at the top of his throat, and then he kicked the speedboat with both feet, and a huge force of more than 100,000 pounds exploded, slamming into the bottom of the speedboat.
The twelve-foot-long runabout exploded with a 'boom', and Joe, like a cannonball from a round Thor cannon, rushed up hundreds of feet high with a 'boom' in the air, and then danced with his hands and drew a parabola in great horror, and smashed heavily into the pier breakwater hundreds of feet away.
"Ah...... Oh......" Major General Doron and the others stared wide-eyed, watching Qiao soar into the sky with an incredulous expression, and then smashed to the ground in a crazy flash of lightning and thunder.
With a loud bang, Joe's feet hit the ground with a bang.
On the breakwater made of granite strips, seven or eight granite strips more than a dozen feet long and more than a foot thick were smashed to pieces by him, and Joe's two legs, below the knee, were all deeply sunk into the breakwater.
"Young Master, Young Master!" Tooth and the other Vetto guards rushed over, carefully grabbing Joe's shoulders and pulling him out of the breakwater.
"It's okay, it's just, my legs are a little numb." Joe shivered, gasped for air, looked back at the sea, and saw that the soldiers who had been in the same speedboat with him just now were climbing onto the two rescue speedboats in embarrassment.
Joe looked down at his legs, his pants below the knee were in tatters, and only a few strips of rags hung wet on his legs. His special boots, inlaid with thick steel plates, were even more smashed, and now they were lying crookedly in the big pit he had knocked out.
With an extremely mysterious expression, Major General Doron trotted all the way to Joe.
With a dry cough, Major General Duolong squatted down, reached out and patted Qiao's two white-flowered, fat, and thicker than ordinary thighs, and then coughed dryly again.
"Joe, take my word for it, you'll be a great Imperial soldier." Major General Duolong stood up with a tangled expression, stretched out his hand and patted Qiao's arm: "I heard, you just opened up the sea of power?" Believe me, being a policeman has no future, a real man, he should join the army. ”
Joe also looked at Major General Doron with a mysterious expression, as well as the other four Major Generals, who were standing behind him with a faint green glow in their eyes.
"Believe me, General Dolon, you should go and say this to Director Stein...... Believe me, he'd rather duel you than let me leave the police station. ”
Shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, Joe sighed with emotion: "No way, I'm too good, the Port Tulun Police Department can't do without me; The tranquility and stability of the port of Tulum cannot be separated from me; The happy life of the citizens of Tulum Port is inseparable from me! ”
Without waiting for Major General Duolong to speak, Joe hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, it's important to get down to business!" Ah, Ah...... Hurry up, lead the way, lead the way, where is the ghost-faced shopkeeper? Lead the way! ”
The soldiers landed ashore, and then, in a neat line, led by Joe, quickly rushed into the warehouse area of the old pier No. 2.
Barefoot, Joe kicked open the door to the storehouse, and the loud sound of the arm-thick chain used to lock it did not alarm the night watchmen who had left their posts without permission.
Under the leadership of Ah Yu, the team quickly came to the Kajiu warehouse in the West Third District.
The storm roared, the sliding door of the Kajiu warehouse opened a gap half a foot wide, Joe waved his hand vigorously, several soldiers rushed up, and the door was opened entirely, and a wonderful fresh fragrance wafted out.
Just behind the gate, there was a small bonfire burning in front of the shopkeeper of Grimace, who was holding a few iron bars on which he was wearing a brown brown piece of meat the size of a thumb, and the shopkeeper of Grimace was sprinkling powder of spices on it.
"Young Master Qiao, are you here? Hmm, the blue-spotted arrow frog, a specialty of the primeval forest of the Black Continent, tastes very good, and has a very magical effect, do you want to try it? Grimace Keeper, wearing the sleek whiteboard mask, raised the iron bar in his hand to Joe.
Major General Doron and other high-ranking military experts stared at the small bonfire in front of the grimace shopkeeper at the same time.
The door to the warehouse was opened, and the wind howled into the warehouse.
The small bonfire in front of the shopkeeper of Grimace did not move in the wind, as if all the wind and rain were illusory. The shopkeeper sat by the campfire, secluded and dense, inexplicably giving the impression that he was in a world of his own within ten feet of him.
"What's the effect?" Joe walked up to the grimace shopkeeper and snatched the barbecue from his hand and was about to put it in his mouth.
"The blue-spotted dart frog is highly poisonous, and it is a very rare neurotoxin, after being roasted at high temperatures, the remaining weak toxin can no longer be killed, plus I use several spices to blend, these roast meat ...... Aphrodisiac! The grimace shopkeeper said something extremely immodest in a serious manner.
Joe's body stiffened, and he casually handed the roast to Fang who was following behind him.
"Uncle Ya, I know, that's exactly what you need. Uncle Grimace, what about the heresy you discovered? Joe coughed heavily and glared at the grimace shopkeeper fiercely.
Tooth grasped the fragrant 'wonderful' barbecue in his hand, and the muscles on his face twitched one by one, only to feel that the eyes of Major General Duolong and the others looked at him and became wrong.
Only, should he open his mouth and explain?
Actually, he didn't need these barbecues!
"Hey, listen to me......" Tooth decided, or explain, but no one wanted to hear his explanation.
The grimace shopkeeper led the way, and a group of people walked straight to the passage leading to the underground of the Kajiu warehouse.
Two o'clock in the morning.
Duke Rose, who was sitting in the Golden Anchor Club and was waiting for news with Archbishop Loren, received a message from Joe.
"Ho ho ho!"
In the Golden Anchor Club, Duke Ross resounded with a very personal style of shrill laughter.
"Joe, sweet little fellow, he's done it again, it's the third time, it's the third time......"
"There are fools up and down the port of Tulum, and there is only Joe a clever lad...... Ah, what a headache, how to reward him? ”
"Come on, come on, go to the old pier No. 2, quick, quick, quick!"
