Chapter 216
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
Please Put On Your Clothes Before You Read Poems
Marineâs base in the town of Tada is located in a corner of this town. Its building style is the same as that of the Kingdom of Tada. They are both so tall that it is obvious that they were modified from local buildings, painted with the pale green of the branch base and hung with Marine flag.
Kuro led his men into the branch led by the lieutenant, but this branch was slightly deserted. Only a few Marines could be seen walking around, and it seemed that there was no one here.
âWhere is your Base Captain?â Kuro asked.
The lieutenant looked at the sky and said inexplicably, âItâs almost time.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the window on the top floor was pushed open and a man with a beard like Cass poked his head out. He took a deep breath of the air outside and chanted in a particularly rhythmic manner:
âNo matter what kind of dark world, as long as people yearn for light, they will light the torch. Ah⦠God, thank you for letting the war win and letting the world take another step towards light.â
âToday is another beautiful day. I have spent 37 years on the road of life and have passed the prime of my youth, but the youth in my heart will not end. Hello, this world!â
This big-bearded man is especially affectionate when he reads the sentences, but itâs a little annoyingâ¦
The blue veins on Ledaâs forehead were exposed. She pointed up and shouted, âHey, put on your clothes!â
He was naked. To be precise, he was only wearing a fat thorn.
âYes?â
Hearing the sound, the bearded man looked down and saw Kuro and others.
âA new face that I havenât seen before? Are you a guest? Hello, I am the Base Chief here, Lieutenant Colonel Hugo. But girl, itâs not that Iâm naked. Iâm clearly wearing clothes, but you canât see it with your naked eye. Canât you see it?â
âAh?â Leda was stunned and looked over carefully.
This middle-aged man leaning out of the window had thick body hair and beard. He had a fat belly and looked like a pig.
âWorn where?â
âLookâ¦â
Hugo pointed to the sun in the sky and became intoxicated. âThis bright sun is the clothes that put on me.â
Click.
Leda took out a flintlock gun from somewhere and pointed it at Hugo. âCan I kill you?â
âWhy are you so hot-tempered at such a young age? We are both Marines. If you point a gun at me like this, what if you hurt me? Even if you donât hit me, itâs not good to hit the flowers and plants. Every blade of grass and tree has a law of growth. If you hit them, you are trampling on an innocent life,â Hugo said.
âLieutenant Colonel Hugo, they are colleagues from Headquarters. They said that they heard our distress call and came to take a look, and they caught a pirate.â
The lieutenant spoke now.
âWhere did we get the distress call?â
Hugo was stunned and said, âThis place even has a Pirate Ghost Shadow⦠Wait, catching a Pirate?!â
He widened his eyes and looked down just in time to see Absolem, who was out of place with Marine and handcuffed.
In an instant, Hugo jumped down from the window. His fat body fell like a meat bomb and landed on the ground, stirring up waves of meat.
Whoosh!
Almost instantly, he dodged on the spot and appeared in front of Absolem.
âPirate, is that really a pirate? A real pirate? A live pirate?!â
Hugo touched Absolem as if he was in heat. âAh⦠yes, this stench is unique to pirates!â
âLieutenant Colonel Hugo, calm down, calm down!â
The lieutenant stopped Hugo. âDonât be impulsive.â
âLet go! Canât you see? This is a pirate! A live pirate! A pirate who can enter this town alive!â
Hugo pulled the Lieutenant away and under Absolemâs frightened eyes, he touched his face first, then his neck and then his chest, exploring his whole body.
That intoxicated expression was like an old pervertâ¦
âHey, what are you doing! Donât mess around! Iâm already very old, I canât stand it!â Absolem couldnât stand it and shouted in horror.
âAh, God, did you finally hear my prayer? Thank you for giving me what I wanted.â
Hugo did not listen to Absolem at all and started to pray with an intoxicated look in his eyes.
Not only is he an old pervert, but he also looks like an old charlatanâ¦
âThatâ¦â Kuroâs mouth twitched and he called out. If he didnât speak, he was afraid that this human-like thing would do something on the spot.
âLife is like a box of chocolates. You never know what the next one tastes like. Ah, the taste of pirates is exceptionally delicious for me!â
âI saidâ¦â
âThe long wait is a training for me. We should not be anxious, but we should learn to be grateful, because this long training is only the appetizer of hunger. Only when we enjoy the fruits of victory can we eat exceptionally well.â
Kuro snatched the gun from Ledaâs hand and pressed it against the back of Hugoâs head. A black line appeared on his forehead. âListen to me!â
âAh, sorry, sorry.â
Hugo turned around and smiled apologetically at Kuro. âItâs been a long time since Iâve seen a living pirate. Iâm a little excited. Donât mind it. Sometimes, itâs not a shameful thing to lose your composure over a small surprise in life. Speaking of which, this pirate was caught by me. Can you give him to me?â
âThat kind of thing doesnât matter. Put on your clothes first.â Kuro gritted his teeth.
âSunshineâ¦â
Bang!
Kuro shot at the sky.
âOkay, Iâll go get dressed now. Iâm sorry.â Hugoâs face became serious and he turned around and walked towards the base.
Kuroâs lips twitched and he was speechless.
What kind of person is this? Why are there such lunatics everywhere?
Not long after, the lieutenant came out of the building and said, âLieutenant Colonel Hugo invites you in.â
âTake that Absolem away. Also, check the information of this person and the girl named Sipatya. You know her, right? The strange girl who talked to you before.â
Kuro returned the gun to Leda and took her and Crowe into the building.
This gun was bought in Morgati, but Kuro lost interest after using it for a while and let Leda play with it.
The architecture of the Kingdom of Tada is on the Gothic side and cannot be lit up, including the interior which is mostly dark. Although it has been changed a lot and there are a few more places to shine, it still cannot change this lonely and strange tone, especially the whole base which does not seem to have any Marines.
Hugoâs office was on the top floor. They walked down a long flight of stairs before they reached the office.
At this time, Hugo had already put on his clothes. His Marine uniform was embroidered with a lot of irises, more like a poet than a Marine.
If it were not for the fact that Kuro had just seen this person go crazy, he might have thought so. But now, he looked at Hugo no different from looking at Hentai.
âPlease sit down.â
Hugo stretched out his hand and said, âSorry, I lost my composure just now. It is indeed because I have never seen a pirate.â
âNever seen a pirate?â
At the side, Crowe wondered, âNo way, didnât you just deal with a pirate fleet?â
âWellâ¦â
Hugoâs face fell and he sighed. âThat has nothing to do with us. It was all destroyed by Lord Gugas alone. I didnât even see it. I have been stationed here for two years and I have never encountered a thief, let alone a pirate.â
