I summon the shadow army in Pirates - Chapter 136

c130 Nameless Monument

At dawn.

The dazzling light shines, and after passing through the lush leaves of the giant tree, it is cast on the land of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The light is very gentle.

But at this time, on an extremely empty piece of land in 29GR, the temperature is very cold.

The navy soldiers erected graves and tombstones here overnight.

On these tombstones.

Most of them have no names.

Because of the chaos in the lawless zone, the civilians living in this area either wandered from other places, or lived here for a long time and did not want to leave.

The navy did not manage this place well before, and the names of the people were rarely registered uniformly, so there are almost no nameless monuments here.

In front of the tombstone.

Coles led the navy soldiers to mourn the dead innocent people.

The atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

After witnessing the tragic scene with their own eyes and cleaning up the scene personally, the navy soldiers felt uncomfortable and angry.

All the navy knew who the culprit was, but they could not ask for the crime at all.

This is powerlessness!

This is the helplessness of reality!

“Collect!”

After completing the follow-up processing, Matthew’s voice sounded, integrating all the navy soldiers and starting to return to the base.

The navy soldiers turned around silently.

But not everyone will choose to remain silent, and not everyone has the mood to accept this pain silently.

There will always be people who choose to stand up and make a voice in this dark and corrupt world.

“Major General Coles, I want to know what you will do next.”

This not-so-loud voice sounded in front of this silent group of tombstones.

Colles looked up and saw that the person asking the question was a young navy with an indignant look.

He wore a white military uniform, a blue scarf, and a navy cap with the letters “MARLNE” printed on his head.

This is just a private first class.

He is about the same age as Coles, and he also knows the pain of reality.

But for some reason, maybe it was impulse; maybe it was hope for light;

Maybe, innocent people who just don’t want to die can only get an anonymous and desolate tombstone.

He stood up.

Asked the youngest rear admiral of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The other navy soldiers present were waiting quietly. They did not speak, but it did not mean that they were not angry about the Celestial Dragons.

In fact, most people have grievances against the Celestial Dragons.

It was just because of various reasons such as family, relatives, friends, and life that they could not stand up without hesitation.

Now someone stood up to ask Rear Admiral Coles, and they were all looking forward to the answer.

Coles also knew that all the navy soldiers at the scene were waiting for his answer.

For the correct answer.

For whether to enforce justice!

Coles had made a decision last night, but he could not tell these navy soldiers that he would kill the Celestial Dragons.

After thinking for a few breaths.

Coles’ voice spread in this empty and silent area.

“What do you want me to do?”

The Navy Private was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the Rear Admiral to ask a question in return. He could only speak according to his heart.

“I came to this archipelago before the major general. Although I am just an inconspicuous private first class, I have seen a lot of darkness on this island while performing my duties.

This situation did not change until Major General Coles came.

As soon as you took office, you chose to launch Operation Storm, clearing the pirates and criminals on the island, ordering the rectification of illegal places, and bringing the island into a rare peace.

In the following time, Major General, you firmly stick to your post and defeat the pirates who want to land on the island one by one.

In my heart, Major General Coles, you are the most righteous navy. Regarding the tragedy caused by the Celestial Dragons to civilians last night, I think you should at least show anger.”

Coles looked directly at this outstanding Navy Private First Class and asked, “After being angry, let me accuse the Celestial Dragons to the World Government. Do you think this will succeed? Or, what can I get from this?”

The Private First Class was speechless for a moment.

The other navy soldiers present were also silent.

This is the cold fact!

Just as the major general said.

Even if the accusation is made, even if hundreds of innocent people die, the World Government will not deal with this matter.

Because the highest controller of the World Government is the Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons are the world’s nobles. They enjoy all the privileges and are not afraid of the laws of the world’s judgment.

Yesterday’s explosion was just the tip of the iceberg of the Celestial Dragons’ darkness.

There are still many evils of the Celestial Dragons!

But no matter what the Celestial Dragons do, they will not be punished.

This is helpless.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to ask the World Government to punish the Celestial Dragons!

But for the navy soldiers who can still stand up and be indignant at this time.

Coles was very relieved.

He came to the private first class, patted the other’s shoulder, and then left.

“Keep waiting, I think the light you hope for will appear one day.”

However, without understanding Coles’ true meaning and heart, the private first class just thought that the words of the major general were comforting and asked him to choose to compromise.

Although compromising with the world is a test that life has to go through.

However, this answer is not the answer he wants.

In his imagination, even if Major General Coles cannot resist the Celestial Dragons, he should show justice and shout out the voice of justice under the influence of this tragedy.

Even if it is useless to report to the World Government, you must show your determination. With perseverance, you may succeed, right?

Even if these few things may be very small, but you have to do something, right?

Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the innocent civilians who died tragically at the scene? If you can bear justice, how can you look directly at these nameless monuments!

However, Major General Coles did not answer like this.

Although what Major General Coles showed was the norm of this world…

However, he felt that his faith in his heart was a little broken.

He always thought that in this dark and chaotic pirate era, he found the faith of light and the justice he could rely on…

However, Major General Coles’ answer poured a basin of cold water on him from head to toe.

Is this justice?

“If this is the navy… I think I can’t stay any longer.”

“I want to quit.”

At the words of the private, Coles stopped after walking more than ten steps.

Even if he didn’t look back, he could feel the sadness in the heart of the navy soldier.

For this, Coles did not explain.

He couldn’t explain to outsiders.

After a moment of silence, he continued to move forward, his unchanged voice spread to everyone’s ears, and the coat of justice on his shoulders was still fluttering.

“If you have lost the belief of continuing to be a navy, then quitting may not be a bad choice. I respect your decision.”

After these words.

This private is no longer a navy.

However, the 20-year-old young man did not miss anything. He took off his military cap and walked in the opposite direction from Coles.

In front of these hundreds of nameless monuments.

A young rear admiral and a young private who had already quit the navy, they chose different paths and went in opposite directions.

…

On the way back to the navy station.

In addition to thinking about the meticulous plan to kill the Celestial Dragons, Coles also considered the issue of his position in his mind.

If one day.

He also lost the faith to continue to serve in the Navy, would he still stay in the Navy?

In just a few breaths, Coles put this question behind him, because it was not a question that needed to be entangled too much.

If that day really happened.

He would also choose to turn around without hesitation like the Navy Private First Class today.

－－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－－

I originally wanted to use heavy numbers to highlight the evil of the Celestial Dragons, but the number of deaths in the previous chapter was a bit imprecise. Although I later revised it to 176 people in time, more than a dozen readers still read it. Here I would like to explain it to the readers who have read it.

There will be another chapter in the evening.
