"You can talk later."
Admiral Mikalo glanced at him and motioned for the doctor to continue.
A moment's effort.
The doctor tested each of the generals in the room. He also made a cut on Antonio's arm, and then observed the bleeding and healing speed of their wounds.
result.
Antonio heals the fastest.
The bleeding stopped in less than a minute after the wound was cut.
Two minutes later, the wound healed.
Then.
The doctor bandaged the wounds of the other generals, saluted Admiral Micarro, and withdrew.
Mikalo flicked the ring on his finger, and the other generals regained their mobility, but Antonio was still under the gravity. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Admiral Mikalo, my keywords require the identity of a general. I won't rebel. You don't have to be so wary of me. If I wanted to betray, I would not have come back after the Battle of Heard Island. I have always considered myself a member of the navy."
"What are your skills?" asked Admiral Mikalo.
"Everyone is united." Antonio said, "When I am a general, the troops under my command will be of one mind with me."
"Anything else?" Admiral Mikaro asked.
"It's like using one's own arm to control the enemy." Antonio smiled bitterly. "I can mobilize the army from a bird's eye view and pass down orders directly to every member of my team."
Wow!
There was an uproar in the conference room.
Every general looked at Antonio in disbelief.
A general stood up and said, "Admiral Micarro, please execute Antonio. If what he said is true, it will be a huge threat to the empire. No general can be his opponent."
Admiral Micarro turned the ring on his finger and looked at Antonio without saying a word.
"General Karl, without me, who will deal with Paul?" Antonio said, "Paul has subdued the sea monster Enke, and he swims faster than a swordfish in the sea. No matter if he was possessed by the examinee or made a deal with Selma, can you really kill him with your strength
Moreover, there are more than 500 people in the world whose bodies have been taken over by examinees. Some of them may be on the pirate side. When they gain power and turn against the navy, what will you do? What if someone has the same ability as me?"
"Since you have such ability, why did you lose the battle on Heard Island?" another general asked.
"Under the circumstances at that time, even if I exposed my abilities, I would not be able to defeat Paul and Laurent Swann's fleet. I had too few ships. I thought it was more important to bring back intelligence and more navy." Antonio said.
"Antonio, what would happen if I removed you from your position?" Micarro asked.
"My ability will be greatly weakened." Antonio was silent for a moment, and said, "Moreover, I will not be able to command any ship."
"So what do you think would be Paul's key words if he were a candidate?" asked Mikalo.
"I thought it was chaos before, but later, I thought it was control. Of course, it could also be confusion, or domestication..." Antonio said, "Paul's actions are so strange that it is impossible to accurately characterize him with a keyword."
Admiral Micarro interrupted him and asked, "Has anything changed?" Antonio was stunned.
"Looking at Paul's growth process, he has been making changes." Admiral Mikalo said, "He changed the name of the ship, changed the pattern of the flag, and even used the rumors of the Fish Age to try to change the name of the whole world. If his keyword is change, can it explain everything he did? He started by changing himself and then changed the whole world..."
Antonio looked at Admiral Micarro strangely: "General, what you said makes sense, but this does not explain why he can control the sea monster Enke."
Admiral Mikalo said: "What if Enke's cognition was changed by him! You just said that in addition to keywords, there are also advanced skills. Perhaps his skill is to change other people's cognition!"
"It's not impossible," Antonio said, "But the rumor about the Fish Era has spread, and more people will change their names because of luck. Unless people recognize this rumor and restore the world changed by Paul to its original state, Paul will continue to grow."
"Antonio, can I trust you?" Micarro asked.
"Of course, General, our interests are the same," Antonio said quickly.
"Next, we will do our best to cooperate with Paul to eliminate other pirates and candidates with keywords. You will be responsible for carrying out this task. In the following days, you will be wandering on the sea. Someone will give you orders and deliver supplies. You are not allowed to return to the shore without orders. If you make contributions, I will increase the number of your troops appropriately to enhance your strength.
But once you land, you will be regarded as treason, and the Royal Navy will issue a notice to remove you from the position of Vice Admiral, cut off all your supplies, and then announce your identity and capabilities to the world. Are you willing?" Admiral Micarro asked.
"I do." Antonio breathed a sigh of relief and agreed again.
"Okay, go out and take your two hundred warships out to sea immediately. From now on, you just need to wait for orders." Micarro turned the ring on his finger again, released the suppression on Antonio, stared at him intently, and gave the order.
His fingers never left the ring of gravity.
Antonio stood up, glanced at Micarro, saluted him, and strode out of the meeting room. His identity was exposed, and there was no point in staying here any longer. Returning to the sea would be his world.
Unity is no joke. How could it lose its effect just because the title of lieutenant general was removed
The reason why he didn't fight Paul head-on was simply to preserve his strength!
Mikalo didn't have many restrictions on him.
The ocean is so vast and there are so many islands. Once the Royal Navy really cuts off his supplies, the worst that can happen to him is that he will become a bandit.
With his abilities, it won't be long before he becomes the rising pirate king.
Admiral Mikalo accurately guessed the key word "change", and he is most likely also a candidate. He possesses the Ring of Gravity, and the key words are unknown, so it is too unsafe to stay with him.
…
"General, why did you let Antonio go? He is not from the Empire and can no longer be trusted." The general who was about to execute Antonio stood up and said, "Even if we cut off his supply, he can still survive. Many pirates are defectors from the navy."
"Karl, I need Antonio's ability." Admiral Mikalo glanced at him and said, "Besides, he is right. These candidates who have taken over other bodies will leave this world after the Sea God's Scepter appears. Before that, they will kill each other until the winner is decided. It is too costly for us to spend energy to eliminate them. It is better to let them fight each other.
Moreover, I have found more than one candidate in the Navy, and I will send someone to restrain Antonio.
Next, your task is to do your best to check the candidates hidden in the navy and find Selma. I want to know if the story of paying a large sum of money to have a child is true? If not, invite Selma to help the Empire clarify the rumors of the Fish Era..."
