Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1089 Imperial Navy, Admiral of the Nine Seas

In the minds of all Natlan people, if they fall into the hands of evil cultivators, they will become blood eaters, and having their life and soul drained away is the most terrifying thing in the world.

But if he is caught by the poisonous cultivator, he will be tortured to the point where life is worse than death.

Or they may have insect eggs planted in their bodies as a seedbed for the poisonous insects, and then watch helplessly as the poisonous insects disembowel themselves.

Or being eroded by dozens of poisons at the same time, watching your body being melted by poisons in a state of clear consciousness...

Whether in the world of mortals or in the circle of extreme people, poisonous cultivators are terrifying existences that can be equated with evil cultivators.

Even Poison Cultivator will not be respected as "immortal" by mortals.

"I heard that the three Qi Condensation Realm monks from the Spark Column were placed under house arrest in the county government by the general soldiers?"

Hearing Qu Liuxia cast a curious look and asked, the soldier who was stung by the poisonous scorpion's mouthparts quickly answered obediently:
"That's just a public announcement, Elder Qu. They are currently discussing important matters with the county magistrate, the commander-in-chief, and Elder Su."

"Oh~ I was just wondering why old man Su hasn't returned to the military camp today. It turns out that he secretly came to do something important with the county magistrate without telling the little girl."

After hearing the words "Elder Su", Qu Liuxia raised her eyebrows unconsciously.

Elder Su is the leader of the Molten Fire Sect. Like her, his cultivation level is at the fifth level of the Core Formation Realm.

She learned that the magistrate of Changliu County did not call her when discussing important matters. Apparently, she was excluded because of her status as a drug cultivator.

Although Qu Liuxia didn't care, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Poison cultivators in Natlan have indeed been subjected to too much narrow-minded prejudice.

Even a court official at the level of a county magistrate still seems to have a deep misunderstanding of Du Xiu.

Qu Liuxia, who is determined to change the reputation of all poisonous cultivators in Natlan, has heard various rumors about the Spark Column from the juniors of the sect more than once.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to meet the monks of the Spark Column to see if these monks were really as described in the nursery rhymes.

But when she learned that the other party had contacted the county magistrate first, she lost interest.

Just when the Ten Thousand Poison Sect elder turned around and planned to return to the military camp of his sect disciples, she suddenly frowned.

Because at the end of this deserted street outside the county government compound, four strangers she had never seen before appeared, walking slowly towards here.

The leader, the black-haired man, was wearing a dark blue brocade-patterned gown and looked extraordinary.

The three guards following this man were all young girls, wearing Natlan navy blue silk shirts.

"Imperial Navy? Why did the Navy Admiral come here?"

Qu Liuxia was stunned for a moment and recognized the identities of the four people who came straight to the door of the county government compound.

And she set her sights on the leading man and whispered softly in confusion.

Changliu County is an inland county that doesn't even have a river. Why did the naval admiral come here?
In Natland, as the imperial maritime force that maintains law and order in the Duanzhou River and the Natland Sea, they are often given the special title of Imperial Navy.

It is different from the ordinary Natlan officers and soldiers who are recruited uniformly by the Ministry of War and need to obey the orders of the imperial officials in each county.

The Natlan Navy was almost entirely established at the expense of the state king. It only obeyed the state king's dispatch and was completely independent from the Ministry of War system.

In other words, the Natlan Navy can completely represent the extension of the will of the five kings of the states, and wherever it touches is the territory of the empire.

The enemies faced by the navy are by no means the evil cultivators and monsters faced by ordinary officers and soldiers, but the terrifying sea beasts and lurking dragon monsters in the Duanzhou River and the deep ocean.

Coupled with the Muxianke that have appeared in the Duanzhou River and along the coast in recent years, it can be said that the Natland Navy has always resisted Natland's most terrifying enemy.

All of this makes the naval admiral's official rank lower than that of those county magistrates, but his actual status is far higher than that of all county magistrates.

The naval admiral not only has the power to forcibly recruit all the resources of the county and officers and soldiers for coordinated operations. Even when the naval patrol detects an approaching threat, the naval admiral has the power to execute the "abandonment order" and wipe an entire town off the map of Natland.

This is not about abandoning the town, quite the opposite.

The purpose of the state king granting the naval admiral the privilege of ordering to abandon the city is to protect the people in the local towns from being slaughtered by an irresistible crisis to the greatest extent possible, and to allow the local officials to lead the people to abandon the city and move to a safe area.

"Are the rumors true?
"The evil cultivator's chaos in Nanzhou has become serious enough to require the Navy to use an order to abandon the city?"

Qu Liuxia speculated on the other party's purpose of coming to Changliu County and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But she soon realized that there was also a gap in the status of the Imperial Navy Admiral.

Not all naval admirals are qualified to execute the city relocation order.

As far as she knew, every navy admiral would have a brocade pattern tattooed on his dark blue shirt, representing his status.

Three clouds are counties, six clouds are counties, and nine clouds are the most.

Only naval admirals who have reached the county level are qualified to execute the city relocation order.

As for the Navy Admiral with the Nine Clouds tattoo, he has not appeared for many years.

"One, five...nine? Cloud nine? This, how is this possible?

However, when Qu Liuxia used her cultivation to repeatedly count the brocade cloud patterns on the body of the visitor, even though she was a strong person in the Dan Formation Realm, she still took a few steps back in a loss of composure.

"Admiral Jiuhai?!"

No wonder this Ten Thousand Poison Sect elder was so shocked.

The admiral of the navy, who is dressed in nine clouds, has been canonized only a handful of times throughout the millennium of Natland.

Once it is born, it not only means that at least one state has encountered an irresistible enemy of survival, but also needs a state king to use himself as a guarantee to recommend it to the court, and it also needs a great national master to personally canonize it.

In other words, its existence itself is tantamount to Yan Tiansi and the imperial court compromising to the state prince's palace and agreeing to have this person command and take over all the naval forces of the entire empire to fight against foreign enemies!
Nine is the ultimate number. Because of this, this powerful naval admiral is also called the Nine Sea Admiral.

The last time Natlan was conferred the title of Admiral of the Nine Seas was during the hundred-year Immortal Fall War with the Oran Foreign State, and he was recommended by the King of Dongzhou.

Before Qu Liuxia and the officers and soldiers heard the identity of the person he called out, they recovered from the shock and surprise.

Lin Lan took the three ship girls to the Natlan people who were guarding the gate of the county government compound.

“Well, it seems that the county magistrate here is more pragmatic than the one in Dakang County.

"Since the county government is still operating, it will be much easier to handle the city abandonment order."

He did not choose to speak to the officers and soldiers and the monks in the Dan Formation Realm in front of him. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and glanced at the county government office, which was still brightly lit in the courtyard, with a scrutinizing gaze.

It is also like a leader who comes here to inspect the work.

Yes, this was the solution proposed for him by the white-haired aircraft carrier girl beside him who had changed into the uniform of the Natland Navy.

In order to make Changliu County, and even the local officials in all Nanzhou counties and cities along the way, they were willing to cooperate with them in the large-scale migration.

From today on, he who has the Sumeru Ring given to the head of Yantiansi by Zhuo Haokong will be the Admiral of Natlan Jiuhai recommended by Tang Changxun, the king of Beizhou Prefecture.

Anyway, Nutland did not have long-distance communication methods such as telephones for verification.

Even if there is, in Tashkent's words, it will only be a matter of time before his status as the admiral of the Nine Seas becomes official.
