Chapter 1089 Imperial Navy, Nine Seas Admiral

In the minds of all Natlan people, if you fall into the hands of evil cultivators, you will become blood food, and having your vitality and soul drained away is the most terrifying thing in the world.

But if you are caught by poison cultivators, you will be tortured to the point of being worse than death.

Or insect eggs will be planted in your body as a breeding ground for poison worms, and you will watch the poison worms rip you open.

Or you will be corroded by dozens of poisons at the same time, and watch your body melted by poisons in a clear state of consciousness...

Whether in the mortal world or in the extreme circle, poison cultivators are terrifying existences that can be equated with evil cultivators.

Even poison cultivators are not respected as "immortals" by mortals.

"I heard that the three Qi Condensation Realm cultivators of the Spark Column were placed under house arrest in the county government office by the general?"

Hearing Qu Liuxia's curious gaze and asking, the soldier stung by the scorpion's mouthparts quickly answered obediently:

"That's just an announcement to the outside world, Elder Qu, they are now discussing important matters with the county magistrate, the general and Elder Su."

"Oh~ I was wondering why Old Man Su didn't return to the barracks today. It turns out that he secretly came to the county magistrate to do something important without telling me."

Qu Liuxia raised her eyebrows unconsciously after hearing the three words "Elder Su".

Elder Su is the leader of the Ronghuo Sect. Like her, he is at the fifth level of the Jindan Realm.

Knowing that the county magistrate of Changliu County did not call her to discuss important matters, it was obviously because of her identity as a poison cultivator that she was excluded.

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

Poison cultivators in Natlan are indeed subject to too many narrow-minded prejudices.

Even a court official of the county magistrate's level still seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of poison cultivators.

Qu Liuxia, who was determined to change the reputation of all poison cultivators in Natlan, had heard various rumors about the Spark Column from the younger generation of the sect more than once.

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

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

Just as the elder of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect turned around and was about to return to the barracks of her sect's disciples, she suddenly frowned.

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

The black-haired man in the lead was wearing a dark blue brocade gown, which looked extraordinary.

The three guards following the man were all young girls wearing the blue silk shirts of the Natlan Navy.

"Imperial Navy? Why did the admiral of the navy come here?"

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

She even set her eyes on the man in the lead, and whispered in great confusion.

Changliu County is an inland county without even a river, why did the admiral of the navy come here?

In Natlan, the court's maritime force that maintains the law and order of Duanzhou River and Natlan Sea is often given the special title of the Imperial Navy.

It is different from the ordinary Natlan official army that is uniformly recruited by the Ministry of War and needs to obey the orders of the court officials in various counties.

Almost all of the Natlan Navy was established by the state king's palace, and only obeyed the state king's dispatch, and was completely independent of the Ministry of War system.

In other words, the Natlan Navy can fully represent the extension of the will of the five state kings, and wherever it reaches, it is the territory of the empire.

The enemies faced by the navy are not the evil cultivators and monsters faced by ordinary soldiers, but the terrifying sea beasts and hidden dragon monsters in the Duanzhou River and the deep ocean.

In addition to the immortal killers that have appeared in the Duanzhou River and the coast in recent years, it can be said that the Natlan navy has always been resisting the most terrifying enemies of Natlan.

All this makes the rank of the admiral of the navy not lower than those of the county officials, but his actual status is far above all the county officials.

The admiral of the navy not only has the power to forcibly requisition all the resources of the county and the officers and soldiers to fight together.

Even when the navy patrol finds that there is a threat coming, the admiral of the navy has the right to execute the "abandon city order" and wipe out an entire town from the map of Natlan.

This is not to abandon the town, but quite the opposite.

The purpose of the state king granting the admiral of the navy the privilege of abandoning the city order is to protect the people in the local town from being slaughtered by irresistible crises to the greatest extent possible, so that the local officials will lead the people to abandon the city and move to a safe area.

"Could the rumor be true?"

"Has the evil cultivators' riot in Nanzhou become so serious that the navy needs to issue the city abandonment order?"

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 the status of the admirals of the imperial navy also varied.

Not all admirals were qualified to execute the city relocation order.

As far as she knew, every admiral's dark blue clothes would be engraved with a brocade cloud pattern representing his status.

Three clouds for a county, six clouds for a county, and nine clouds for the highest.

Only admirals with a county-level status were qualified to execute the city relocation order.

As for the admiral with nine clouds, he hadn't appeared for many years.

"One, five...nine? Nine clouds? How, how is this possible?

However, when Qu Liuxia used her cultivation to repeatedly count the brocade cloud patterns on the visitor, even though she was a Jindan realm expert, she still lost her composure and took several steps back.

"Nine Seas Admiral?!"

No wonder the elder of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect was so shocked.

The admiral of the navy dressed in nine clouds has been canonized only a handful of times throughout the thousand years of Natlan.

Once it is born, it not only means that at least one state has encountered an irresistible enemy of survival, and a state king needs to recommend it to the court with his own guarantee, but also needs the national master to personally confer it.

In other words, its existence itself is equivalent to Yan Tiansi and the court compromising with the state king's mansion, agreeing that this person will command and take over the entire empire's naval forces to fight against foreign enemies!

Nine is the number of extremes, and for this reason, this kind of powerful naval admiral is also called the Nine Seas Admiral.

The last time Natlan conferred the Nine Seas Admiral was during the century-long Immortal Fall War with the Orlan foreign country, and he was recommended by the state king of Dongzhou.

Before Qu Liuxia and the officers and soldiers who heard the identity of the person called out could recover from their shock and surprise.

Lin Lan brought the three ship girls to the Natlan people 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 in operation, the matter of abandoning the city order will be much easier. "

He did not choose to speak to the officers and soldiers and Jindan realm monks in front of him, but put his hands behind his back and looked at the county government office in the courtyard with bright lights.

Just like a leader who came here to inspect the work.

Yes, this is the method proposed by the white-haired carrier girl who has changed into the Natlan Navy uniform beside him.

In order to make the local officials of Changliu County and even all the local officials of Nanzhou County along the way willing to cooperate with them in the great migration.

From today on, he who has the Xumi Ring given by Zhuo Haokong to the head of Yantian Division is the Natlan Nine Seas Admiral recommended by Tang Changxun, the King of Beizhou.

Anyway, Natlan does not have long-distance communication means such as telephones for verification.

Even if there is, in Tashkent's words, it is only a matter of time before his status as the Nine Seas Admiral is formalized.
