Boom!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Movo Royal Naval Port. A visible pillar of fire shot up into the sky and quickly spread out. It was particularly eye-catching against the dark night, and the location of the fire pillar caused the entire Royal Naval Port to panic.
In the city inside the military port, many nobles were awakened by the explosion. They opened the windows and doors in their pajamas and stared blankly at the direction of the fire. When they matched that direction with the map of the military port in their memory and understood where the fire was... .
They screamed out loud.
"That direction..."
"General Isaac's residence!?"
"How is that possible!"
"Are there pirates lurking in?"
"No way..."
"Hurry up! Hurry up and put out the fire! General Isaac's daughter is still in there!"
"Not only that, my child was invited by that rich girl and also went! Damn it! Hurry up and call all the private soldiers in the clan! Go put out the fire!"
It wasn't just the nobles who were panicking.
At this moment, in the Movo Naval Headquarters located in the Royal Naval Port, Admiral Isaac, the head of the Royal Naval Port, also received the news of the fire.
"check!"
"Check it for me immediately!"
General Isaac, who is said to have killed a pirate king, does not look like the wise and powerful general in the legend. On the contrary, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man in his forties. He is not tall, does not have eight-pack abs, and is even a little fat.
But when he roared, his face was distorted, but he looked like a mad lion, powerful, unruly and invincible. Only by seeing him like this, can you truly understand that this man is the pillar of the Mauvo Royal Naval Port, the pride of the Royal Navy, Admiral Isaac.
After sending someone to investigate.
Instead of relaxing, Isaac sat back down with a frown on his face.
"Pirate invasion? Impossible. With me personally on duty, no pirates can sneak in."
Isaac is absolutely confident in his abilities. Unless he is not in the naval port, it is impossible for pirates to sneak in. If he thinks so, is it a problem inside the naval port
"... .They are slaves."
Isaac thought about it and immediately identified the suspect.
After all, when it comes to unstable factors in the naval port, the only one is the large number of slaves.
"There is a small arsenal in my mansion. Was it detonated there? That shouldn't be the case. If it was a slave riot, the guards could easily suppress it. The slaves shouldn't know the location of the arsenal. Is there someone secretly inciting this riot?"
While thinking quickly, Isaac spread out the map of the Royal Naval Port directly on the desk.
"Someone is inciting it. The slave rebellion has a commander, who may not be a slave. He is very smart, so he should know that it is useless to start a slave rebellion. There are too many slaves and they are too big a target. So as long as they are still in the military port, they will definitely be discovered. Once discovered, they will definitely be suppressed."
"... So he blew up the arsenal?"
"The fire in my house would have panicked the patrol team and forced them to focus on putting out the fire, which would have attracted their attention. The fact that they knew the location of the arsenal meant that they had dealt with my guards. But the slaves are just a bunch of rabble. How could they have done that? Unless..."
Isaac's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Jenny!"
“Damn it.”
"They're taking Jenny hostage?"
"If that's the case... then they might also know the escape route!"
Isaac stood up suddenly.
Thinking of this, he had basically concluded that the person who instigated the slave rebellion had planned it perfectly in advance. The fire attracted attention, and he secretly took Jenny as a hostage and came to the Royal Naval Port in secret. Then he got a ship and left the port openly... .
"Do you think I'll let you do this!?"
"Innocent!"
Isaac's expression gradually became ferocious. After a moment, he slammed the table and called the adjutant outside the door again: "Come here! Gather all the people in the general port, fully armed, and wait at the No. 3 training ground in the northeast corner of the Navy Headquarters, ready to arrest the arsonist!"
"yes!"
The adjutant did not question Isaac's decision, nor did he ask how he knew the location of the arsonist. As Isaac's adjutant, he only needed to obey Isaac's orders absolutely.
The army assembled very quickly.
Compared with the patrol teams inside the naval port, the soldiers of the Navy Headquarters are undoubtedly more than one level higher in quality. They are not only excellent naval elites, but even if they leave the sea, they are also elite army soldiers. This is naturally thanks to Isaac.
"Everyone get ready!"
Isaac personally led the assembled soldiers to surround the entire training ground, and even pulled out more than a dozen cannons and aimed them at the training ground.
That's right.
This training ground is the exit of the secret passage built by Isaac.
"The center of the training ground is hollow. If someone lifts up the grass and walks out, there's no need to hesitate, just shoot immediately. If there are a lot of people, just fire cannons, regardless of life or death!"
"yes!"
A full ten minutes passed.
Isaac's originally confident expression was slightly shaken, and his brows frowned even more tightly. According to his speculation, the slaves who were in a hurry should have come out of the secret passage at this moment.
Why
Click.
Just when Isaac was beginning to waver, the grass in the center of the training ground suddenly moved, and then it was suddenly lifted up from bottom to top, and then several figures appeared in Isaac's field of vision.
"Fire!"
Bang bang bang bang!
The elite soldiers did not hesitate at all and pulled the trigger. The fire directly knocked down several figures who had finally climbed out. However, Isaac, who had successfully ambushed them, was not surprised. Instead, he showed a look of astonishment, and then suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute! Cease fire! Cease fire!"
Damn it!
Those who fell to the ground were not slaves!
It's a noble!
Although Isaac couldn't see their faces clearly, judging from the decorations on them, there was no doubt that they were nobles!
But how is it possible!
"Why did the nobles come out of the tunnel?"
“This shouldn’t be…”
What is going on
At this moment, the soldier who had gone to investigate the news came trotting over and breathlessly told the information he had obtained.
"general."
"The cause of the fire was an accidental explosion in the armory. The young lady, the nobles she invited, and all the guards mysteriously disappeared. The only thing that could be found at the scene was a group of slaves who fled in panic..."
"slave!?"
Isaac's voice suddenly went up an octave.
"What did you say!?"
"There are still a large number of slaves at the scene? And they are fleeing in panic?"
"ah?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, there was a fire after all, and the patrol team asked the slaves to quickly fetch water to put out the fire..."
“Damn it!”
Isaac finally reacted this time. His eyes turned blood red. He took off his military cap and threw it to the ground.
I was tricked!
The people who entered the secret passage were not the slaves and the mysterious messenger, but his own daughter and the nobles she invited! I think they must have been forced to enter the secret passage, and then the exit of the secret passage was blocked. When they disappeared, outsiders didn't know what happened. They would only think about putting out the fire first. To put out the fire, they must get water, and it was natural to use slaves... .
In this way.
The slaves could then go to where there was water with impunity.
naval port!
What's more, at this time, a large number of people in the naval port were transferred here by himself! There were not many people patrolling and guarding the place where the ships were parked!
"Go back! Go back immediately!"
"Those bastards are about to escape from my naval port!"
Isaac had a grim look on his face, and he didn't even look at the noble and his daughter who were still in the secret passage.
He swore!
If only the mysterious mastermind could be caught.
He must hang the other party in the most conspicuous place in the Royal Naval Port!
