We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

As this fierce and majestic voice sounded.

The venue suddenly became quiet, and there was silence everywhere.

Even Benny, who was arrogant and domineering just now, honestly shut his mouth and only dared to curl his lips to express his dissatisfaction.

Walking out of the barracks was an old man in military uniform with a majestic air.

This old man has a short, white beard. Judging from his facial features and appearance, he is actually quite amiable, reminding him of the best-tempered teacher in school.

However, combined with the invisible coercion and temperament on his body, it gave people a feeling of calm and self-power.

——That is the temperament infiltrated by holding power for a long time.

It can also be said that it is the so-called magnanimity of a superior person.

The strange thing is that judging from his skin and eyebrows, this man is probably only in his forties.

But he gives people an "old" feeling inexplicably, making people subconsciously think that he is an old man.

It's like... his vitality is much weaker than that of normal people?

The aura of this old man even surprised Xia En.

He not only has the unique seventh-level coercion of a legendary powerhouse, but he also gives people the feeling that he is not much stronger than a sixth-level mystic.

The sense of threat that the other party brought to Shane was not even much different from that of Benny.

Something to say.

The old man seemed to have suffered some kind of injury that would never heal.

And that hidden injury is still tormenting him to this day, preventing him from displaying his full strength.

But even so, whether it was the soldier leading the way, Carles, or the soldiers around him, they all looked at the old man with awe and admiration.

Obviously, he is the commander-in-chief of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]——

General Moritz!

"General!"

The soldiers lowered their heads and saluted the famous old general.

The officer leading the way looked even more ashamed: "Sorry, General, I was negligent..."

Moritz waved his hand: "It's not your fault."

He turned to look at Benny who was not far away, and said in a stern tone.

"Benny, apologize to Captain Shane!"

Hearing this, Benny felt more like a dynamite barrel being detonated, and said angrily.

"You want me to apologize to a pirate?"

"Have you forgotten who killed my parents?"

He grinned and sneered and said to himself: "Oh yes, you have forgotten all about it."

"Otherwise you wouldn't agree to let pirates join the [Far North Expeditionary Force]..."

Snap!

Suddenly, a crisp slap sounded.

Moritz came to Benny at some point, and a clear slap mark gradually appeared on Benny's face.

"you……"

Benny's eyes widened and his face turned red visibly.

He took a few steps back and glared angrily at Moritz, Shane and the others.

"No matter what, I will not allow this pretty boy, who is only at level 5, to take away my spot!"

After that, he turned around and left.

Everyone was unprepared for this series of changes, and the soldiers looked at Moritz in surprise.

General Moritz always treated Benny harshly, but this was the first time he had been slapped in public like this!

This kind of move can be said to completely disregard Major Benny's face, and may even lead to a complete break between the grandfather and grandson.

"General Moritz..."

Carles looked at the old man in front of him with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

There was a hint of bitterness on Moritz's face, but in the blink of an eye, this bitterness was hidden under the majesty.

Then, he looked at Xia En on the other side and said apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Captain Shane, you have seen a farce."

"Please come with me."

Soon, Shane and Carles followed Moritz to a room in the barracks.

As soon as he walked into the door, Moritz's straight back suddenly stooped a little, and he looked as if he had aged by more than ten years.

It was like the posture he showed in front of other soldiers was just his disguise.

Only in this room with only three people could Moritz temporarily relieve himself of the burden and show his true side.

After Moritz sat on the chair, he motioned for Shane and the two of them to sit down as well, and then smiled.

"It made you two laugh."

"The commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is actually such a depressed old man. He must have disappointed you, right?"

His tone was very gentle, completely different from the previous Benny, like a gentle elder talking to his juniors.

But even so, Xia En didn't have any contempt in his heart.

He didn't think that the person who could become the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] would really be a depressed old man.

The "old" attitude shown by Moritz at this time is probably true, but it may also be a means of communication.

Show your vulnerable side so that people can let down their guard and relax their vigilance.

However, whether it is true or disguised, the fact that a big man like Moritz is willing to talk to the two of them in this manner is a sign of sincerity in itself.

Therefore, Xia En is also willing to communicate with him in a more sincere manner.

So Xia En said: "To be honest, I don't feel disappointed, but a little surprised."

"You seem to be different from ordinary soldiers."

Moritz chuckled: "Captain Shane's vision is indeed extraordinary."

"Actually, I'm not from a regular military school. I was just a school teacher before. I only joined the army because of an accident."

"I didn't expect to end up where I am today."

Hearing this, Shane was quite surprised.

But this also explains why Moritz has a different temperament from other soldiers.

"It's a pity that although I used to be a teacher, I can't even teach my own grandson well."

Moritz sighed lightly, then stood up and said solemnly.

"Please allow me to apologize to you for Benny's rude behavior just now!"

Seeing this scene, Shane was surprised again.

It is actually very rare for someone of Moritz's status to be willing to apologize in person.

It can be seen that his character is actually very serious and frank. Looking back at the unreasonable, irritable Benny...

This can only be said to be a family misfortune, right?

Shane could imagine that Moritz had apologized to others again and again for Benny's troubles in the past.

As if he saw Shane's thoughts, Moritz spoke.

"In fact, I do have an unshirkable responsibility for Benny's current situation."

"His parents died early, and I was busy with military affairs, so I only saw him a few times a year."

Moritz's tone was ashamed: "And when I teach him, I am always as strict as scolding subordinates."

"It is probably because of the so-called rebellious psychology that he is increasingly resistant to my discipline..."

Shayne was not surprised by this.

Education of children and grandchildren has always been a big problem.

Didn't a certain big man in the previous life also make news about "having children"?

Perhaps, it is precisely because of his extraordinary status that educating children has become a difficult task.

But to be honest, Shane is not very interested in other people's family affairs.

What he cares more about is the "quota" mentioned by Benny and the purpose of Moritz looking for them.

In the final analysis, the fact that Moritz would find him is full of great strangeness.

Moritz continued to speak slowly.

"That kid is hostile to you, in part because his parents died at the hands of pirates."

"So he doesn't like all pirates, or people who used to be pirates."

At this point, Moritz changed the subject.

"But I know that Captain Shane is not a real pirate."

"I've seen Captain Shane's past battles, and he basically fought for self-protection and revenge, right?"

Moritz stared at Shane with his slightly cloudy eyes.

Until then, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, making Shane feel as if his heart was seen through.

Shae frowned and said seriously.

"General Moritz, what exactly do you want to do by calling us here?"

"Please speak frankly."

Moritz said, "You should have heard that another reason why Benny wants to challenge you is the so-called 'quota'."

"However, that quota is by no means something that people flock to and can improve their strength."

"On the contrary, it is an extremely dangerous and even life-threatening operation quota."

Shayne had some guesses in his mind, but still asked.

"What is the operation?"

Moritz said seriously, "Infiltrating the [King] or... the [Dayan]!"

"What?!"

Carles next to him couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although Carles had wanted to go to the [King] to find her father Gord before, she was still extremely shocked when this opportunity really came to her.

After the shock, there was confusion and doubt.

Carlles couldn't help asking, "But isn't the realm of [Da Yan] above the legendary one?"

"With us alone, even if we sneak into his body, can we really..."

"Don't worry."

Moritz explained, "Of course we won't let you die."

"Several legendary masters have personally experienced the power of [Da Yan]."

"And now we have come to the conclusion that..."

"If we want to destroy [Da Yan] in a frontal battle, at least two-thirds of the legendary masters in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] must be sacrificed!"

The general's tone was extremely serious, and he finally revealed a bit of the iron-blooded meaning of a soldier.

"If there were only one-third, we might choose to attack by force."

"But right now, this number of sacrifices is unacceptable to us."

"Because in addition to [Da Yan], there are other enemies waiting for us."

"And right now, [Da Yan]'s desire to attack is not strong, it will just ruthlessly devour all the existences close to it."

Hearing this, Shane probably understood the special nature of [Da Yan].

For the Far North Expeditionary Force, the Great Flame is like a large landmine that is constantly accumulating.

If we ignore it for the time being, it may not cause much damage in the short term.

But if time goes on, this landmine will become more and more dangerous until the day it is completely detonated.

Therefore, the strategy of the Far North Expeditionary Force is to find another way, not to detonate the landmine head-on, but to dismantle the bomb from the side.

Or at least reduce its harmfulness.

Moritz continued: "Now, the Great Flame has been fixed in place by several legendary masters using secret techniques, and it will no longer move at will."

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in and destroy His key nodes."

Hearing this, Shane suddenly realized that the recruitment notice issued in the military camp before was probably for this operation.

But soon, Carlales noticed another thing.

"But why did you choose us?"

"Wouldn't it be more likely to succeed if legendary masters participated in the operation?"

Moritz said bitterly, "If that were the case, we wouldn't have to recruit any more people from the Far North Expeditionary Force."

"Although the perception of [Da Yan] is slower than that of ordinary humans, it also has an intuition of danger."

"Secret Pathers of level seven and above will be locked and expelled by his will just by approaching him, not to mention going deep into his body."

"Only secret pathers who have not reached level seven can enter his body."

"The reason why this operation is called 'infiltration' is also related to this."

"Even for secret pathers of level six, there is a limit on the number of people, which is the meaning of the so-called 'quota'."

Obviously, secret pathers below level seven are regarded as ants by [Da Yan], so they will not arouse his vigilance.

After these doubts were answered, Shane and Karles both looked enlightened.

They had a deeper understanding of the whole incident.

From this perspective, Benny knew that this was an extremely dangerous mission, but he still wanted to compete with Shane for this quota.

It can be seen that he also sincerely wanted to solve this disaster and had a certain spirit of sacrifice.

Shane had looked down on him before.

But even so, Shane did not intend to give up this quota.

Just because... he is stronger than Benny and is more likely to eliminate the hidden danger of [Da Yan]!

At this time, Moritz's eyes fell on Carlles and said in a somewhat gentle manner.

"The reason why you are included in the list is because we found that God seems to have left some messages inside [Da Yan]."

"Those messages, probably only you can decipher and receive them."

"But I still want to ask you, are you willing to participate in this operation?"

Carles said without hesitation: "I am willing!"

"Whether as a soldier or a daughter, this is what I should do."

"That's good."

Moritz turned his head and looked at Shane again.

"Captain Shane, your situation is different from that of Karles."

"Although I have included you on the list, you can also refuse this operation."

"After all, this is too dangerous. No one can guarantee that the secret pather who enters the body of [Da Yan] can come back alive."

"Are you... sure you want to accept this mission?"

Shayne said calmly: "I am sure."

In addition to the promise with Karles, he came all the way to [the Far North], didn't he just want to prevent the arrival of the world-destroying disaster?

Now that he is in danger, he has to retreat?

How can this be justified!
