Chương 1916: Battle of the North Sea (62)

The once prosperous and bustling Mary Geoise has now become a ruin with broken walls and ruins.

This was unprecedented, and even in the long history of the Warring States period, such severe destruction had never been seen.

The worry in Zhan Guo's heart was like a heavy mountain, pressing him to the point where he could hardly breathe.

The various problems and shortcomings of the world government, as well as the decline that has gradually emerged in recent years, have made him feel confused and helpless about the future.

He began to doubt whether the path he had been adhering to was correct, and even became deeply worried about the future of the world government.

The World Government, the Revolutionary Army, the Rockefeller Kingdom and the pirates, these four forces are like four mountains pressing down on the Navy, making them feel increasingly suffocated and breathless.

Although the World Government has gradually delegated power in recent years, Zhan Guo is keenly aware that the World Government's fear of the navy is also increasing.

This time, taking advantage of the turmoil of the navy's leadership change, the World Government seems to want to take the opportunity to break up the navy.

Faced with such a situation, Zhan Guo's heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Marshal, marshal!"

Crane's cry brought Zhan Guo back to reality from his thoughts.

He came back to his senses, looked at He's anxious face, and quickly explained: "Huh? Ah! Oh! I just thought of something and was a little distracted."

He looked at Zhan Guo's absent-minded look and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

She was well aware of the pressure and difficulties Zhan Guo was facing, so she consoled him, "Hey, Marshal, don't worry too much. Some things are beyond our control. Just do your best."

Zhan Guo nodded, indicating that he understood He's good intentions.

However, his heart still could not calm down.

After all, the fate of the navy is related to the peace and stability of the entire world, and he cannot sit idly by.

"Let's go and ask the Five Elders what happened here!"

Zhan Guo was determined to find out the truth behind this and the true intentions of the World Government.

After saying this, he turned and looked at the generals behind him, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.

Then, he turned around resolutely and walked straight towards Pangu City with firm steps.

However, when Zhan Guo finally arrived at Pangu City, the scene before him left him dumbfounded.

Pangu City, which should have been prosperous and bustling, is now left with only broken walls and ruins, as if it had experienced a terrible disaster.

In the ruins, there were several old men who looked disheveled and ragged, looking around with horror on their faces.

Zhan Guo was shocked when he saw this. He quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Sir, what happened here?"

There was obvious worry and confusion in his voice.

Mazsheng and others had actually noticed the arrival of the navy group a long time ago, but they did not take the initiative to greet them.

It was not until Zhan Guo asked the question that several of the Five Elders slowly turned around. Their faces were extremely gloomy, as if they were hiding some unspeakable secret.

Satan looked at Zhan Guo expressionlessly and said calmly, "Oh, it's nothing serious. It's just that a secret experiment of the World Government suddenly exploded, and the shock wave accidentally affected the Red Earth Continent."

Although his tone was relaxed, his eyes flickered and he was obviously hiding something.

"But, Da..."

Before Zhan Guo could finish his words, he was interrupted rudely by Saint Satan.

"Okay, Zhan Guo, I know you have a lot of questions, but let's end this matter here. Remember, don't tell anyone what you saw today, understand?"

Saint Satan stared at Zhan Guo with a serious face, and the warning was self-evident.

Zhan Guo's heart tightened, he naturally understood what the Five Elders meant.

Although he still had many doubts in his mind, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He could only salute the Five Elders and others immediately, indicating that he would keep the secret.

Seeing this, the other naval soldiers also followed Zhan Guo's example, saluted the Five Elders, and then stood silently aside without saying a word.

"Alright, Zhan Guo, immediately organize people to search and rescue the survivors in Mary Geoise. Don't delay!"

Saint Mazi said with a serious face.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo quickly responded, "Yes!"

There was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in his voice.

Mazsheng seemed dissatisfied with Zhan Guo's attitude. He waved his hand as if he was driving away an annoying dog.

Although Zhan Guo was somewhat unhappy, he still forced himself not to lose his temper. He turned around and left quickly with a group of generals.

Watching the figures of Zhan Guo and others walking away, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Mazsheng's face.

He knew very well that Zhan Guo and others were full of doubts about what happened on the Red Earth Continent, but he did not intend to tell them the truth.

The group of Five Elders obviously did not want Zhan Guo and others to know what had happened on the Red Earth Continent, so they sent them away in such a hurry.

Zhan Guo certainly understood this in his heart. He felt very aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

After Zhan Guo and the others left Pangu City, Akainu finally couldn't suppress his doubts and asked, "Marshal, what is going on?"

His brows were furrowed tightly, his face full of confusion.

Zhan Guo sighed deeply and said slowly: "I don't know the specific situation, but judging from the attitude of the Five Elders, I'm afraid the matter is not simple."

There was a hint of worry in his voice.

"Alas, the Five Elders clearly don't want us to know about this!"

Zhan Guo sighed helplessly, his tone revealing his dissatisfaction and helplessness towards the Five Elder Stars.

His words seemed to echo in the air, attracting the attention of people around him.

Akainu stood aside, listening quietly to Sengoku's sigh. There was not much expression on his face, he just remained silent.

However, his tightly pursed lips and slightly furrowed brows revealed his inner thoughts and worries.

Zhan Guo glanced around at the generals, then shouted, "Alright, now everyone, lead your troops and immediately begin the search and rescue for Mary Geoise!"

His voice was loud and firm, revealing the majesty of a leader.

"Yes!"

Many generals responded in unison and saluted to show their obedience.

They acted quickly and directed their troops to launch a search and rescue operation.

Zhan Guo nodded with satisfaction and watched the generals carry out orders in an orderly manner.

Just then, Zefa came over, his steps steady and powerful.

Zefa came to Zhan Guo, had a brief conversation with him, and then joined the search and rescue team.

He led a group of Marines from the boot camp and began to search carefully in the ruins of Mary Geoise.
