Chapter 149 A Hard Slap in the Face
"What?" The Commodore seemed not to believe his ears: "Do you know what you are talking about? As a Wright..."
The brigadier general who spoke so eloquently did not notice the approaching danger at all. By the time he realized it, it was already too late.
A bolt of lightning turned into a ruthless blade light, cutting off both of his legs at the knees.
"Ah...ah——"
The lightning strike was so fast that the ultra-high-temperature lightning quickly carbonized the wound without even giving Brigadier Thomason time to react. Before the blood from the wound section had time to spurt out, the blood vessels were sealed. So much so that his pain seemed to be delayed for two or three seconds before reaching his brain.
Thomason finally reacted and immediately started wailing and screaming.
"Ahh! How dare you...wah-"
Before he could even curse, Conrad, the giant man who had just struck, rushed forward, raised his fist the size of a small water tank, punched him once, twice, three times... and punched him in the face so hard that he His mother didn't even recognize him, so she beat him until he fainted on the spot.
When Conrad took action, Thomason's adjutant and two guards actually thought about taking action.
Former Storm War Priest Ren and Hank Gerald, two Sequence 6 macho men, only took one step forward. The surging spiritual light combined with the terrifying sense of pressure made the three of them not dare to move a finger.
If Extraordinaries at Sequence 7 or below might be able to deal with them with conventional hot weapons such as artillery, the chances of Sequence 6 and above are really slim.
Especially the strong ones of the storm system can turn themselves into a bolt of lightning and move.
This is not a force that mortals can resist!
If the opponent can't beat him, he can still run away.
Not to mention, the other party is not one, but a group.
The adjutant's face turned blue and his lips were trembling. It took him a while to summon up the courage and looked at Mark timidly: "Sir, do you... really know what you are doing?"
Mark leaned back on the chair, tilted his chin up, and glanced back with a contemptuous look: "What? An idiot wants to say that he represents the empire? When did a mortal empire that was founded less than three hundred years ago Do you dare to challenge the Kingdom of God?"
The three people in the Admiralty were trembling all over their bodies.
It is impossible for them to understand the high-level game. This does not prevent them from knowing that their home has hit the iron plate.
The adjutant's teeth chattered and chattered: "Sir, could you please... give us a decent reason. If we go back like this, we will be hanged."
"Then let's just say - the evil things on this ship have not been completely cleaned up. This is not a ship that idiots in the Imperial Navy can control." Almost at the same time as Mark's words fell, a spiritual servant exuding a sacred aura appeared out of thin air.
I saw the spiritual servant wearing the attire of a bright bishop, but doing the most terrifying thing——
He picked up Thomason's legs and seemingly threw them away, when a huge hole suddenly appeared on the floor beside him.
[Hearth Demon] takes action.
Its big mouth with thousands of fangs swallowed both legs in one bite.
"Bataaaaah!"
A horrible chewing sound.
It's like eating a chicken leg instead of two human feet.
The adjutant and guard next to him were spattered with blood, and they were trembling with shock. However, they couldn't utter a single word. They could only watch with trembling fear as the spiritual servant bishop performed magic on Thomason's thighs, causing them to tremble. Its wounds heal quickly...
A few minutes later, in front of a whole squadron of naval soldiers on the dock, the dignified Commodore Thomas was thrown down the inclined gangway like a bag of garbage.
Well, if I tell you to get out, I’ll let you get out!
Not even qualified to be helped out of the boat.
"Ahhh! It hurts!" Thomas, who woke up from the pain, just yelled a few words, and then passed out due to the severe pain.
The soldiers were shocked. Logically speaking, they should rush forward to protect their commander. However, the adjutant who ran down after the brigadier quickly waved his hand and shouted: "Go! Go quickly! Take the general and leave immediately!"
Seeing the adjutant's unconcealable horror, and then looking at the two storm-type Beyonders on the side of the ship standing like gods next to the gangway, the soldiers of the naval squadron hurriedly picked up the unconscious Commodore Thomason and ran away as fast as he could.
Not long after, at the Navy Headquarters, a man wearing the epaulettes of a lieutenant general slammed the table: "Asshole! How dare that kid do this!? Thomason went to inquire on behalf of the empire."
"Calm down! Spruance, you are already this old! Why are you still acting like a frizzy boy? How can you expect me to trust you to hand over the fleet to you?"
At the main seat, a man in a marshal's uniform shouted, which immediately calmed the general: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper, Your Excellency Marshal Dewey."
The marshal turned his head and looked at the brigadier general who was kneeling down on one knee: "Repeat what you just said."
The adjutant did so.
Marshal Dewey closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice: "Issue an announcement - Commodore Thomason was injured and lost both legs during the exercise. He retired due to injury and was promoted to major general. Then he issued an order privately to prohibit internal discussions within the Navy. [Caribbean]!”
Lieutenant General Spruance's eyes widened: "We... let's forget it."
The marshal's eyes sharpened.
"Otherwise? At this point, do you still think that the boy named Destiny did it alone? If he just killed someone in anger, we could make the matter bigger. Just because he dares to expose the Bright Bishop Little Brown Being used as a spiritual servant means that all our trump cards have been seen through. He not only represents the Destiny family, but even the Twin Goddess is his backing!"
"Is this... so exaggerated?"
The marshal sneered: "Do you believe that if we dare to make things big here, our heads will be hung at the gate of the Imperial Senate?"
Spruance calmed down completely. He finally realized his mistake.
That’s right!
This expropriation incident is a bureau.
There is no other way. The quality of the armed cruise ship itself is comparable to that of a warship, and it can also block conventional artillery with [abnormality], which is really cool. After hearing about the Boliva rebellion, considering that there were extraordinary people on the other side, such an abnormal warship was undoubtedly the best as a flagship.
If an orthodox church claimed the ship as its own, the Admiralty would never dare to take advantage of it.
However, according to the registration, the boat is privately owned by Mark.
The navy suddenly had some thoughts.
At this point, the navy did not dare to venture out to test it. But they got the Brown family's encouragement and commitment.
Of course, there is also the Reincarnation Cult behind it, adding fuel to the fire. This time, it was the Reincarnation Sect that was in great disgrace over the Boliva Kingdom.
After the joint efforts of many parties, it was decided that Thomason would be the black face first. If Mark hesitated or even objected less resolutely and did not dare to raise the table with the empire, then he would be the red face.
I don't dare to lower the price too much. As long as the ship can be requisitioned at a suitable price, there will be no need to return it in the future.
This is an interlocking game, and the bet is that Mark or the Destiny family will not dare to break up with the empire.
After all, the Destiny family is just a cardinal family.
The Admiralty found out how wrong they were - Mark not only dared to flip the table, but openly used the tamed demon and revealed the faces of the Brown family behind it. This means that Mark is absolutely convinced that once he goes against the Brown family and even the entire empire, the Twin Goddess will stand by him without hesitation and even destroy the empire with a backhand.
Why doesn't this scare the Admiralty?
When the matter was reported to the Reincarnation Cult, they immediately dismissed it as nothing.
As for Old Brown, who was as mature as him, he was so angry that he threw something on the spot!
"That boy! How dare he? How dare he enslave my eldest son like this!?" Old Brown was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"Teacher, calm down! Calm down!" Several bishops quickly advised.
Although they tried to persuade him to return, they had a small thought in their hearts.
As long as he is not an evil sect, if someone else gets the Blood Moon Card from the Sect of Light, why not send it back to the Twin Goddess in exchange for some gifts from the goddess?
They knew that Mark went to the Great Temple of the Night after he killed the Famine Knights. Mark can also keep a Blood Moon card from the Bishop of Light, which itself represents too much meaning.
Not to mention using the original legitimate son of the Brown family. This is completely a confident attempt to rub the face of the Brown family on the ground!
Several bishops looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts - Old Brown must have completely lost God's favor.
No one realized that the consequences of this temptation were so serious!
On the other side, Brigadier General Thomason's leg was chopped off. In fact, everyone around Mark felt that something was wrong. In the end, it was Hank who persuaded us: "Young Master, we are Wright people after all. Is it inappropriate to humiliate the Navy Department like this?"
Mark's eyes were sharp and he swept across the audience: "Do you know how many churches want this ship?"
Uncle Ren was straightforward and put his hands on his hips: "I don't know about other churches, but the Church of Storms must be crazy about greed. My former club lost a [Storm Demon Crab]! Unfortunately, rules are rules, and in the end it is light and night. Once the church achieves a breakthrough, it will be divided by the Twin Goddess."
Helena blinked: "The Reincarnation Cult probably wants it too."
Hank finally answered: "There is also the Brown family, the old enemy of the Destiny family."
Mark's smile became more fierce: "This is called 'hitting away with one punch, lest a hundred punches come'! I just deliberately want everyone to know that I am confident."
Led by Hank, all the followers clearly felt Mark's domineering power.
"Then what do we do next?" Helena asked.
Mark replaced the three Yaldai girls: "Ask your family to send me a message - just say that I am waiting for an apology. If the Navy dissatisfies me, I will go to bombard the Navy headquarters in three days."
Everyone was shocked.
This is so crazy.
But everyone enthusiastically trusted Mark.
Soon, the news spread.
Not to mention the navy, even the top officials of the empire were stunned.
"That kid, no, how dare he do this?" Marshal Dewey really couldn't see through Mark this time.
Emperor Nicholas III was even more disrupted. Yes, the Navy's visit to requisition Mark's ship was somewhat provocative. If Mark bombarded the Navy headquarters, it would undoubtedly escalate the situation and make the entire empire an enemy, and even help the Kingdom of Bolivar withstand the hatred of the empire.
