Chapter 190: Kong Huaao's Minefield (Part 3)
One fast and one slow, under the effect of the speed difference, Zhao Yuanming and the others were quickly caught up by the "warlord" sea ships.
"It's over, it's over!"
Zhao Yuanming and the others were pale, their legs weak.
The other side had as many as over fifteen hundred ships, while our side had only a few dozen.
The numbers were nearly a hundred times different, how could we possibly resist?
Facing the opponent's cold cannon barrels, Zhao Yuanming and the others' legs trembled, and they loudly called out to the leading sea ship, "We surrender, we surrender, don't attack us, we can join the marine warlord camp and fight for you!"
But at this moment, Zhao Yuanming saw a familiar figure slowly walking onto the deck of the command ship.
Then an angry voice rang out from the command ship:
"What did you just say?!!"
Zhao Yuanming was stunned, his gaze turned to the person who spoke.
Once he saw the speaker's appearance clearly, Zhao Yuanming widened his eyes, took a breath, and exclaimed:
"Captain Kong Huaao?! Why is it you?!"
...
"Buzz!"
A series of ships that looked like pirate ships and warlord sea ships escorted dozens of Blue Star Captain's ships back to Yunjiji Island.
The figure of Kong Huaao appeared at the port, looking at the Blue Star captains and crew members who were being escorted back to Yunjiji Island with the Power Suppression Bracelets, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Afraid of the enemy's attack, you chose to flee Yunjiji Island at the first moment."
"You have disappointed me terribly, you've completely disgraced the South Sea Third Army!"
"After this matter is over, escort them all back to Qiyun Port and await the military court's judgment!"
Kong Huaao's face was full of anger and disappointment. During the escort process, he had already learned from Zhao Yuanming and the others the reason why this group of captains fled Yunjiji Island, and immediately felt both shocked and angry. He ordered the placing of Power Suppression Bracelets on all navigators who fled Yunjiji Island.
Putting Power Suppression Bracelets on one's own soldiers often means one thing:
The situation is extremely severe, intolerable, and the soldiers must be treated as criminals.
As long as on the battlefield, having a Power Suppression Bracelet put on by a superior means these soldiers will 100% face a military court afterward.
At the very least, they will be in for a few years.
For the Blue Star Navigators, let alone a few years, even one year's time will see other Blue Star captains outside surpass them by several levels.
By the time they are released from prison, the outside world will have changed so much that captains who entered this world years later than they did might have already surpassed them, making them obsolete relics.
"Fang Yu, Fang Yu!"
At this moment, Zhao Yuanming saw Fang Yu standing not far away and immediately called out loudly as if grasping at a lifeline:
"Fang Yu, for the sake of being fellow Blue Star Captains, please go plead with Mr. Kong for us! Can this matter be offset with merit and let us go!"
Upon hearing Zhao Yuanming's words, Fang Yu turned his head with curiosity towards Zhao Yuanming:
"Offset with merit? Where's the merit to offset?"
Seeing Fang Yu actually responding, Zhao Yuanming was overjoyed as if grasping at a lifeline, his eyes shining with delight, and he called out loudly: "Use your military merit this time to offset our mistakes. I heard Mr. Kong mentioned, this time you led the army out and had great achievements. As long as you speak up with Mr. Kong, he's sure to let us go."
"As long as you help me this time, I promise to be your loyal follower, obeying your words like a dog in the future!"
Zhao Yuanming called out excitedly.
Upon hearing Zhao Yuanming and Fang Yu's conversation, even Kong Huaao shifted his view towards Fang Yu, waving his hand to signal the soldiers to pause and wait for Fang Yu's response.
Zhao Yuanming was right. After this war, Kong Huaao had immense appreciation and admiration for Fang Yu. Moreover, Fang Yu had achieved such great merits; as long as Fang Yu spoke up, Kong Huaao would certainly give Fang Yu some face and downplay the matter.
To deal more leniently with Zhao Yuanming and the others.
Everything... would just be a matter of Fang Yu's words.
Everyone's gaze turned to Fang Yu.
At this moment, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Fang Yu's mouth; he looked at Kong Huaao and said with a smile: "Captain, I'm not familiar with these people, judge them as required, let them stay in for a few more years."
Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, a smile also appeared at the corner of Kong Huaao's mouth.
While Zhao Yuanming and the others, upon hearing Fang Yu's words, widened their eyes in disbelief.
After a while, Zhao Yuanming and the others couldn't help but start cursing aloud.
Each one angrily accused Fang Yu of being heartless and indifferent to the ties of being fellow countrymen from Blue Star.
Some captains even spitefully vowed to trouble Fang Yu once this matter was over.
Hmm?
Nearby, upon hearing the loud curses from these few people, Kong Huaao glanced at them coldly.
What's the situation? They want to trouble Fang Yu?
I initially planned to judge you according to regular desertion charges, but now it seems... I must go all out on you?
Fang Yu is an outstanding talent of our South Sea Third Army, and you dare to threaten Fang Yu.
Whether or not you have the capability, you have touched my bottom line.
Military men are very protective, and Kong Huaao is no exception.
At this moment, listening to the curses of these Blue Star captains, Kong Huaao couldn't help but begin considering internally.
I remember...
An old comrade of mine, after getting injured, moved to work at the military court.
Now it seems he has a not-so-low position in the military court.
It's about time to leave a word with my old friend.
Tell them to "give special attention" to these Blue Star captains escorted back to Qiyun Port.
In terms of punishment severity, or future prison life...
Comprehensive...
"Care!"
Kong Huaao snorted coldly in his heart.
