On the wide field, the Marine's phalanx was sweating profusely as they practiced. Under the scorching sun, there was a cold and fierce atmosphere. Ripa led the team through the field, her eyes slightly drifted as she stared at the training phalanx. There were many new faces in it, and the familiar faces were different from the past, revealing a strange atmosphere.
What's even more strange is that the Marine officers in front of the phalanx are not familiar to him. He noticed that something was wrong. His brows were tightly knitted together. In his impression, two of the officers seemed to be marginal Marines who were excluded from the branch before. How did they become officers in just a month?
"What happened in the branch recently?" Lippa asked doubtfully.
He had been drifting on the sea all year round. Due to the closed management of the Navy branch 153, he didn't know about the earth-shaking changes in the base.
The lieutenant commander didn't say a word as he followed behind. His eyes were sneakily looking at the center of the training ground. There was still a cross there. Although the body hanging on it had already been taken down, the dark red blood stains were still on it.
"When I left, something strange happened in the base. After that, Lieutenant Colonel Sartoni went missing. After that, I asked around in the base. Many of the original officers died in battle when they went out to sea to suppress the bandits. Right now, the base is under the control of First Lieutenant Bellu Mayber and a Second Lieutenant named Ya Erlin."
"I heard that these newly promoted officers were recommended by Lieutenant Yarlin and approved by Lieutenant Berroumebé." The lieutenant commander's uneasy premonition was getting stronger. He felt that there were countless pairs of cold eyes staring at him. He lowered his voice and said, "Colonel Monca's orders are all conveyed by Lieutenant Berroumebé. Colonel Monca himself hasn't shown up for more than a month …"
"What are you hinting to me?" Lippa stopped and stared coldly at the Marine Lieutenant Commander. He didn't like the subordinate who had been transferred here some time ago. He always felt that the other side had ulterior motives and his behavior was sneaky. It seemed that he was deliberately hiding something.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lippa, didn't you suspect that this recall was a trap? Colonel Monca might have already …" The lieutenant colonel didn't say those two words, but his meaning was clearly conveyed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ripa sneered, but staring at the Marine lieutenant commander's somewhat neurotic expression, her heart began to show a trace of worry.
He quickened his pace. He needed to see Colonel Monca as soon as possible.
There were many Marine soldiers guarding the main administrative building. When he walked out, he just happened to pass by Lieutenant Yarlin. Yarlin kindly reminded him that Colonel Monca was not in the building, but in his own residence.
Yarlin had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were cold as he stared at Lippa's back. His eyes glanced at the Marine Lieutenant Commander who was dodging.
"Has the warship returned to the port?" Yarlin asked faintly.
"Yes, it's anchored at the port." Gagou nodded and replied.
"If that's the case, then let's go out to sea." Yarlin pursed his lips, and the corners of his eyes slightly drooped, giving off a gloomy feeling. "This branch base will temporarily be left to Lieutenant Berroumebé and Lieutenant Colonel Lippa."
At the port, the two warships slowly left the port, dragging the cold waves behind them as they slowly disappeared from the sight of Navy Branch 153.
"We're just going to leave like this?" Gagou didn't understand Yarlin's arrangement. Why did he choose to go out to sea at this time?
"Gagou, you still don't understand. Is a Berroumebé worth my effort? I can pinch him to death with a finger. What I want to do is to use this opportunity to clean up the hidden dangers in the branch once and for all." Arlen slowly clenched his fists under the sunlight. "It's very difficult to detect hidden enemies under the sun. The best way to deal with them isn't to guard against them to the death. Instead, it's to personally block out the sunlight at the right time and let them walk out of the shadows … That's the easiest and most efficient way to deal with them."
Gagou silently mourned for Berroumebé in his heart. It's a very terrible thing to be an enemy of Yarlin, because the opportunity you perceive may be a trap to lure you into it.
Gagou didn't know that he was not the only one who had the same realization as him. On an island called Iridium Island, a man named Lombardi had a personal experience of this. Oh, there was also a captain of the Red Skull Pirates who also had a very deep feeling about this.
"So, where are we going now?"
"Shuangyue Village is not far away. We'll go there for a short stay. By the way, I'm afraid that a friend has been waiting for a long time."
…
"Lieutenant Berroumebé, you don't look very good." Lippa looked at Berroumebé who opened the door from the inside. His eyes were dark and his face looked haggard, and his heart thumped.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lippa, you're back. Come in and talk, and this major also come in together," Berroumebé stared at Lippa and exhaled a long breath, and his face squeezed out a smile.
Kuang!
The door was closed, and one of the Marine soldiers guarding the door quickly left the team and conveyed the news to Lieutenant Csónitz.
"Berroumebé, congratulations on finally joining the Marine and being promoted to lieutenant. I heard that you and a second lieutenant are responsible for the operation of the branch during this time." Lippa said casually. His eyes were quietly observing Berroumebé's expression. It seemed that he finally listened to the hint. He glanced around the room and didn't see the figure of Colonel Monca. Then he asked doubtfully, "Is Colonel Monca not here?"
"Oh, something happened in the branch recently. Colonel Monca was a little tired and fell asleep upstairs." Berroumebé took the two upstairs, and then gently opened the door. The door was facing the bed in the bedroom. A burly figure was lying on the bed with his back facing them.
Bellu Maybo didn't push the door open completely. He only left it open a little so that Lipa and Lipa could see the back of Meng Chao lying on the bed. He then closed the door and gestured for them to keep quiet. He then went downstairs again.
"Colonel Monca is indeed sleeping." Although it was only through the door, Lippa quickly dispelled the doubts in his heart. He could confirm that Colonel Monca was still alive.
"This time I called Lieutenant Colonel Lippa back because there is something I want to ask the lieutenant colonel to deal with, and …" Berroumebé rubbed his swollen and sore eyes. Although he began to suspect Yarlin, he didn't want to expose the fact that Colonel Monca was in a coma, because the consequences were also unbearable. He stared at Lippa, and then his eyes swept to the lieutenant colonel behind him. His voice was dignified, "Lieutenant Colonel, first I need to find out the truth from your mouth …"
