Chapter 688-Fellow Villagers Three Times

“.. Father.”

On the quiet sea, only the sound of the waves could be heard. In the bright and warm captain’s cabin, Nisyas ‘heart was cold. Seeing her father didn’t make her happy.

Because this was the wrong place, the wrong time.

The next moment, fury surged from the bottom of her heart. She raised her staff and pointed it at the special agent who had a reserved smile on his face. She shouted,” You dirty politician! How dare you!”

However, his rough hand grabbed the Frostheart Wood staff. The broad mind in his memory stood in front of the despicable person. His father’s stern voice was still as stern and dignified as when he was young. It made Nicias feel uneasy and nervous.” What are you doing?!” Mr. Osker is the special envoy of the council!”

“Father!”Nicias cried out involuntarily.

“Are you still willing to call me father?” The skinny middle-aged man said coldly,” I don’t remember raising you into such a cunning and lazy soldier! Let me ask you, why didn’t you obey the council’s orders? Why are you disrespectful to Mr. Osker? If the representatives hadn’t found me, I wouldn’t have known that my daughter had actually become a soldier who had self-respect!

Do you know what you’re doing?!”

” Father!” Nicias blushed.” It’s not like that, Father!”

“Then why is your fleet still standing by? What was the council’s order? I gave up my own path of arcane magic and gave everything I had to teach you to achieve your current achievements. Is this how you repay my efforts?” ” Do you know how ashamed I was when I was summoned by the Starry Sky Council?” the man said sternly. It was simply humiliating!

You’ve embarrassed me!”

As he said this, he became even more furious. He raised his hand and slapped her loudly.

Nicias’s fair and delicate face quickly turned red.

The special agent immediately put on a fake smile and stopped him.” Mr. Councilman, Mr. Councilman, please don’t do this. Commander Nisyas is a great soldier. She just made a mistake…”

“Mr. Oscar, this really makes me feel ashamed. We have spoiled her too much. She has always been so willful. Sigh, it’s my fault for not letting her get married earlier. She has never understood the meaning of a family and the need to give up…” The man who had just been promised a seat in the Senate looked at the special agent with a sincere smile on his face.” Perhaps it’s time to arrange a marriage for her…”

The special agent’s heart skipped a beat.

Normally, he would have been tempted by her hint. Nisyas was the flower of the navy, so her looks and figure were naturally outstanding. However, her status and temperament were also an additional bonus. A real fleet commander would give her a huge boost in her personal temperament. It was indeed a wonderful pleasure to have such a stunner and suppress the cold and iron-blooded general under her body…But now was not the time.

He had a mission from the council, and he had also received a death declaration from the people of Aurora. The whole world knew that Kant was a bloodthirsty man, and he was not lying.

Therefore, fighting for his life was the most important thing. How could he cause any more trouble?

After all, according to the rumors, Kant and Commander Nicias seemed to get along very well. The special agent could not guarantee that the licentious and lustful citizens of Aurora had some kind of desire for the Flower of the Navy. If they did, he was simply asking for trouble…

” You must have a lot to talk about with Commander Nisyas. I’ll leave you two alone for a while.” He bowed with a standard fake smile.

After saying that, ignoring the other party’s urging to stay, he politely nodded and left.

The door closed.

” What?” The smiling councilman-to-be pulled a long face.” Have you grown up and become the commander of the Azure Fleet? I can’t control you anymore?” Do I still have to bow to you?”

Nicias was like a little girl who had made a mistake in front of her father. You shouldn’t have come.”

The man’s face darkened. He raised his hand and wanted to hit her again. He looked at the red mark on his daughter’s face and took a deep breath. He suppressed his anger and laughed.” You shouldn’t have come?” Waiting for you to disobey the orders of the council and be expelled from your position, so that your future and my hard work will go to waste, so that the position of a member of the Senate that you have worked so hard to obtain will grow wings and fly away? What are you thinking?”

” It’s not that simple,” Nicias said in a deep voice.” It’s very strange and dangerous. The council has ordered us to engage in direct conflict with Kant. I can’t gamble with the lives of my soldiers!”

” Is Kant going to start a war with the Council? He’s just scaring you!”

“Besides, isn’t the life of a soldier a gamble?” the man said angrily. Otherwise, why would they join the army? If you can’t bear to gamble with their lives, do you want to gamble with your own future and the future of your family? Do you know how much we’ve sacrificed to make you stand out?”

“I gave up on my own path of arcane magic! Your mother fell ill because of you! Because of this, your brother missed the best time to meditate! The entire family is counting on you, and you’re joking about this?”

“No, I didn’t…” Nicias retreated and shook her head weakly.

“Then obey the order immediately! Go do something!”

“Do you know what the position of a Senate member means?” the man growled. It means that the fate of our family will be completely changed! I will become a respected big shot! Your brother wouldn’t have been rejected by a prestigious university! We’ve done so much for you, and it’s time to reap the rewards. What are you doing?”

“But…” Nicias whispered. Kant will really kill someone.”

“Aren’t you on good terms with him? If you beg him, won’t he show mercy?”

The commander raised his head in disbelief.

“What’s with your expression? You’re not a child anymore!”

“You…You taught me to love myself, to keep my chastity, and to be a decent girl…”

” I’m telling you not to be deceived by hooligans who have nothing at your stupid age. I’m telling you not to mess around with dirty and stinky sailors at sea. I’m telling you to keep your chastity so that you can play the most important role at the most appropriate time. Damn it, do you still need me to explain this to you?”

The man looked around and lowered his voice.” It’s not a bad thing to have such a lover. If he really treats you…” Do you understand? To a certain extent, this will make my position in Torashya more stable…”

“Father!”

” This is not what I want!” Nicias said fiercely.

As soon as he finished speaking, another slap landed on his face.

“So you want to force us to our deaths, right?”

“No…”

” Then what do you want?!”

“I…”

“You’re no longer a child! There’s no need for me to repeatedly emphasize some principles with you! If you want to lose everything, let your father go back to his hometown, let your brother accomplish nothing, and disappoint your mother, then continue to worry about the lives of your soldiers!”

The man looked at his daughter and said coldly,” I hope that today’s conversation will make you make up your mind. We don’t want your mother to be here next time.”

Nicias lowered her head and said nothing.

The man turned around indifferently and opened the door to leave. The moment he closed the door, he saw his daughter sitting weakly on the edge of the bed with a lonely expression. He could not help but smile.

He had a lot of experience dealing with Nicias since he was young.

This was the result of his painstaking efforts. The most perfect work must have a harvest.

Nicias lowered her head and gritted her teeth. Her nails dug into her flesh, and blood slowly seeped out. She realized that she was in a threefold dilemma. She was the flower of the navy, a famous general of the council, and the commander of the Azure Fleet, but she had no choice in this situation.

Obeying the council’s decision would lead the soldiers into a trap.

Not only would disobeying orders be useless, but it would also disappoint the family.

Could it be that it was really like what his father had said…

She gritted her teeth and tugged at her collar.

Never.

The hard work, sweat, and hardship she had put in so far was just as she had told the envoy. Her position had been climbed up by stepping on blood and bones. Everything she had done so far was so that she would never have to flatter men and could always act according to her heart.

But…

At the same time, Kant, who had returned to the Broken Archipelago, stood at the peak of the mountain and looked down at the sea with his Phoenix World.

“It’s about time. We can’t waste too much time in the other world. I’ll add fuel to the fire and then return to Earth. I’ll leave this place to you. If there’s no accident, you don’t have to call me.”

” Alright.” Kant pressed his communicator.” Afu, call the Azure Fleet for me. Invite Commander Nicias for a chat.”

“No problem!” Ah Fu replied sweetly.

“It’s starting, it’s starting,”Horus clicked his tongue.

“Start what?” Kant warned him,” I’m telling you, don’t just listen to rumors. I’m just trying to sow discord. Don’t try to make big news just because she’s a woman.”

“How do you want to drive a wedge between us, Father?” Horus asked with a smile.

” It’s simple. I’ve talked to Nicias a few times. They should be the kind of decent soldiers who love the people like their own children. They must know the danger of being sent by the council to pull chestnuts from the fire. They must be very unhappy. Now is the time to sow discord.”

” After all, we know that the council’s true goal is the ruins in the sea,” Kant said calmly.” The Azure Fleet’s attack was only to divert my attention. In other words, this fleet has been treated as a pawn that can be sacrificed at any time. The Azure Fleet itself is unaware of this.”

” As long as this matter is pointed out at the right time, all the resentment and dissatisfaction of the Azure Fleet led by Nicias will undergo a qualitative change…But we have to make the fire burn first.”

Kant snapped his fingers and smiled.” Tonight’s meeting was like throwing a spark. The conflict that follows will only add fuel to the fire. When the time is right, I will let her know the truth.”

Horus listened for a while and sighed.

“What?”

“I believe that you don’t have any romantic feelings for her. When you were scheming against her, you definitely didn’t treat her as a woman.”

“.. Wow, why do I have to treat her as a woman? Can’t you treat him as a highly skilled admiral?”

Horus said seriously,” If you treat her as a woman, you can slightly modify the plan. For example, you can lure the Azure Fleet into taking action without asking for a meeting. Then, we will use water cannons to knock over the boats and capture the crew. We will force her to take the initiative to come and get them. Then, we will use a little trick to make her have no choice but to secretly come to your tent and sacrifice herself in humiliation. Then, we will conduct a shameful sex trade…”

” Don’t read too many books in the future,” Kant said, casting him a sidelong glance.

” Logically speaking, this is also possible.”

“It won’t happen.” Kant shook his head.” Such a proud person can’t bring himself to do this.”

“So you still think it’s a pity?”

“Nonsense, what’s there to pity?”

Horus laughed.” She’s also an outstanding beauty, and she’s an admiral. She has blue hair and can be considered a ship lady. She’s determined to give herself to you. Don’t you find it exciting? This is what people like you like the most, and you don’t have to take any responsibility.”

“Am I that kind of person?” Kant asked, his face contorted. Even if she comes, I will reject her without hesitation!”

“.. Only you would refuse, heh.”

“You’re insulting your great-grandfather and even your grandfather’s generation by saying that!”

“.. Hmm?”

Kant perked up. He turned to Horus, who was in his Terminator form, and said,” I think you don’t understand at all. You lack understanding and respect for that simple era. Look, times have changed. Technology has developed, and information has advanced. Young people nowadays have more and more complicated fantasies and tastes. Women can no longer satisfy them. Even humans can no longer satisfy them…”

“Then do you think that the older generation watched so many boring pictures and educational films when they were in their prime? What is the material of their fantasies about hiding in bed in the middle of the night to practice their hand strength?”

“I really don’t know…” Horus said blankly.

” I’ve done my research,” Kant said seriously.” You’ll be shocked if I tell you. It’s a female spy!”

“.. What?”

“In that era, pure, innocent, simple, and honest women who could appear in entertainment products were only female spies sent by the rebel forces! The goddess in everyone’s eyes was Teacher Wang Xiaotang. The female spy she played now certainly doesn’t look good, but at that time, she was a fairy. Do you know what the fantasies of that generation were when they were young?”

Kant said in a deep voice,” They imagine themselves to be determined revolutionary warriors. They allow female agents with snow-white skin, fashionable clothes, pointy fingers, cherry-like lips, and heavy makeup to seduce, seduce, and cling to them with all their might, but they remain determined and unmoved. They give the other party the most resolute rejection and the most righteous scolding. This is their highest point of flirting!”

He knocked on the table and said proudly,”So you still have the cheek to laugh at me?” I’m so calm and firm, carrying forward the glorious tradition of the older generation. What a cute sexual obsession!”

Horus ‘mech spirit was silent.

“F * ck.”

he said.

Amidst the chatter, Afu, who had made a suggestion to the Azure Fleet, received Nicias ‘response.

“Father.”

“That woman rejected your suggestion!” The ship lady was a little indignant. They also observed that the Azure Fleet had begun to move! They are releasing assault ships!”

Kant looked puzzled. Why? This doesn’t make sense.”

The situation was that I was strong and weak, and I had some friendship with Nisyas. She didn’t want any friction or conflict. Since I had extended an olive branch, shouldn’t she come and see what I wanted to talk about first?

Why did he take the initiative to attack?

” Although I don’t know why she did that,” Horus said faintly after a while,” I guess that the reason why Father’s plan failed was because you didn’t treat her as a woman.”

“.. Huh?”

The Knight Astolford sounded the air defense alarm, and the entire sea area was awakened by the whistling sound. The officers and soldiers of the vanguard fleet jumped up excitedly and began to pull in the anchor and sail.

They rubbed their fists because the rewards had already been issued during the day. Completing the detection, locating the target, sinking the vehicle, and capturing the enemy alive were all military merits!

The howitzers roared wildly, and flares were shot in all directions. The dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky, patrolling the raging sea. The missile speedboats sailed towards the designated sea area according to the guidance of the command link. The fleet command system that was initially integrated by Ah Fu began to arrange combat missions in an orderly manner.

” Not enough ships,” Kant said as he stood on the summit and looked down at the fleet’s distribution map.

“It’s not enough.” Horus said,” Buy more on Earth and modify it.”

Kant shook his head.” It’s not an easy task to buy a ship. Placing an order takes a long time. It’ll also take a long time to get a finished or second-hand ship to the port of Zhuban. Water from afar can’t quench the thirst of the present.”

The port of Zhuerban handled 800 containers per month and had an annual capacity of two million tons. The ships moored at the port were old and poorly maintained. They were not of much use and were not even as good as the joint fleet. There was no value and significance in modifying them. The large cargo ships and tankers sent by the five permanent members of the council were still on the way. The new navy would take some time to take shape. After all, they had to be modified and strengthened.

He sighed,”I think it’s better to open a new map…” I’ll invest in it when I get back.”

“Occupy it is also considered,” Horus said.”We can also directly rob it.”

Kant rolled his eyes. I’m a good citizen.”

They looked from the peak of the mountain. The dark night sky was illuminated by the blazing flares as if it was daytime. The scattered Council ships lowered their boats, the sailors rowed, and the mages rode the wind, advancing toward the broken sea.

Kant picked up the microphone and said,” All units, start moving. Use water cannons to flip over their boats and fish up their people with fishing nets. The logistics base will cook instant noodles. The propaganda team will be in position. Give them a 3rd Company from the same hometown.”

It was time to let them have a taste of the power of thinking.
