Chapter 837 The choice of life

Two days later.

Fog hangs over the coastal town of Gill and the nearby Unnamed Islands.

For people in this city, sea fog is a common thing, especially at the transition of spring and summer, sometimes the sea fog can even permeate for two weeks and cannot be dispelled.

Although the autumn and winter seasons are not so severe, there are still occasional heavy fogs.

For the fishermen here, even if they don't use the Lingling Master, they can predict the weather pretty well, so no one will take a boat out to sea today.

same.

The Third Navy, which has been stationed here all year round, also knows this sea area and the weather well, so today they simply gave up their patrol mission in the sea area. Outsiders can't find it.

"Captain, is this really okay?"

A young soldier who had just joined the army said with some concern: "The book says that this kind of weather is the best time for the enemy to launch a sneak attack from the sea, so shouldn't we strengthen our vigilance today? Why instead rest early."

"Kaga boy, then I'll test you."

The captain was not angry, and said with a smile on his face: "It is true that it is said in the book, but in the history of our country, is there any precedent for a coastal city being attacked by the enemy?"

"This...no."

The recruit seemed a little unconvinced, but he really couldn't find a precedent.

"Okay, Kaga boy, go back and rest, this is the Navy."

"Do you know what a navy is?"

The captain took out a cigarette, took a puff and said: "The so-called navy in the empire is just a nursing home for soldiers. The people assigned here are either of poor quality or have offended their superiors. The military expenditures given to us by the empire are even less. It's pitiful. You have to make it clear that the so-called military glory belongs to the army and air force, and has nothing to do with our navy."

"how so……"

The young officer couldn't believe it.

When the country was in crisis, he wanted to serve the motherland with passion, but now he was told that the navy exists like this?

The captain took a deep breath and said, "Boy Kajia, if I'm not mistaken, you offended someone during the recruit training, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be sent here."

Kaja didn't answer, his face turned livid.

Because the captain was right in everything. During the recruit training, he was dissatisfied with the officer's corruption and bribery, and reported the officer to the judicial system. Later, the officer was dismissed, and he was sent to the navy after the recruit training.

"Okay, don't think too much about it."

The captain patted Kajia on the shoulder: "If you come here, you will be safe. There is nothing wrong with getting used to this city. Although you can't gain military achievements and rise all the way, there is no risk of the frontline army, right? Let's go to rest earlier. .”

"Yes, Captain."

Kaga was ready to leave as if resigned to his fate, but the moment he turned around, he seemed to see some kind of behemoth cutting through the thick fog and heading towards this comfortable and quiet medium-sized city.

hallucinations?

No!Definitely not an illusion!

He said in horror: "Team, captain, then, what is there..."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

The captain didn't seem to be affected in any way, he still smoked his cigarette and said, "That's the navy fleet, the enemy's navy fleet! I didn't expect that after so many years, the enemy would choose to use the navy to attack us."

"Team, captain, I'm going to sound the alarm."

Kaga was in a hurry to sound the alarm, but the captain held him by the shoulder.

"Okay, Kid Kaga, don't panic."

The captain took a last puff of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "Don't you resent the empire for throwing us into such a place where we don't want to shit? I hate the Empire! Ever since I entered the navy, I haven’t had the courage to return to my family for ten years, because when I go back, I’ve been met with blank stares. Compared with the army, our navy is indeed a bunch of low-level creatures.”

Kaga's expression changed.

Like the captain, he also comes from a small military family.

When he returned to his hometown on the Grace Day, when his relatives learned that he was in the navy, his indifference and contempt still remained fresh in his memory.

"Captain, what do you mean?"

Kaja clenched and loosened his fists, loosened and clenched again, his face turned blue and red.

"I heard that the Jialan Empire cherishes talents very much."

The captain’s eyes were full of calm, but Kajia saw the madness in it: “It just so happens that the other patrols went back early today to be lazy, and there are only two of us on duty. Don’t you think that the Jialan Navy needs two guides to land in Gil City? ?”

"Captain, you are betraying the empire."

Kaga's face was full of panic. In his 20 years of life, he had never thought about this kind of thing.

"No! You're wrong Kaga boy."

The captain closed his eyes, recalling all kinds of contempt from his relatives and friends, as well as the ugly face of the senior army official who transferred him from the army. He grinned and said, "We didn't betray the empire, it was the empire who betrayed us!"

"Is...the empire betrayed us?"

Kajia's loose fist finally clenched, and then he said to the captain: "Captain, I listen to you, I've had enough of my current life, I want to show those people who is the disgrace of the family! "

"Hahaha!"

The captain laughed and said, "Hurry up and raise the white flag to welcome the Jialan army to land."

"Yes, Captain."

According to the captain's order, Kajia raised the white flag and waited for the arrival of the Jialan army.

Under the guidance of two local officers.

The Jialan Army took Gil City easily.

Since no one warned in advance, and there were two people as guides and reminders, Veigar was able to encircle and attack at the same time, which also prevented the whole city from sending a soldier to break through to report to other cities.

up to now.

The other cities had no idea that Gil City had fallen.

Gil City is one of the port cities in the southwestern part of the empire. It is less than two days away from the city of Shira, the shield of the empire. If the air force is sent to attack, it will only take less than four hours. It can be said that Vega has come to the back of the enemy's main force.

Once a sneak attack is launched.

Even if the city of Xierla cannot be taken immediately, the enemy can still be severely damaged.

Vega also sent a letter to Housman at this time, informing him that everything was ready, and asked him to lead his troops to join the 40 troops in the east to form an army of 80 to launch a fierce attack on the city of Xierla.

80 on the front to attract Imperial troops.

Then the city of Xierla must not look at each other head to tail. At this time, there is a surprise attack of more than 30 soldiers attacking the rear, attacking from both sides, and without counting casualties, it is absolutely possible to take Xierla before other reinforcements from the empire arrive. of the city.

This time difference makes it difficult for the empire to react.

The letter has been sent.

Veigar deliberately took the time to personally entertain the two local navies who were his guides.

Because reputation needs to be accumulated. As long as his reputation as a virtuous corporal continues to spread, more and more talents will come to seek refuge. Therefore, Vega does not think it is a waste of time, but instead considers it an investment. .
