Chương 1937: Battle of the North Sea (81)

Immediately afterwards, more than two thousand brave and fearless naval officers and soldiers boarded the warship, quickly sailed out of the harbor, and disappeared into the vast sea.

Time flies, and in just one day, the vanguard of the Rockefeller Kingdom had already arrived at this branch island, which was originally under the jurisdiction of the Navy.

When they discovered that the island was completely deserted, without a single person in sight, Sif, the leader, couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

However, given the circumstances, she had no choice but to lead her subordinates to occupy and take over the undefended branch island, and to begin a rigorous defense deployment.

"Colonel, the person you rescued has regained consciousness, but strangely, he seems to be blind!"

A marine, looking hurried, quickly ran up to the colonel to report the situation and whispered a few words in the colonel's ear.

The colonel nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, then decisively strode forward: "Alright, let's go visit the injured person together."

After saying that, he walked straight toward the medical ward.

At this moment, the medical ward was quiet and peaceful.

Yixiao was completely wrapped in thick bandages, lying quietly on the hospital bed like a mummy.

He closed his eyes tightly, appearing as peaceful and serene as a sleeping baby, but in reality, his heart was churning like a vast ocean, filled with complex and chaotic thoughts.

"Could all of this really be fate? That the Navy would become my savior!"

Yi Xiao pondered to himself.

In fact, as soon as he regained consciousness, he immediately took in all the surrounding ships with his powerful Observation Haki.

The naval ensign, in particular, flying high above the mast, was clearly visible.

At this point, he finally understood his current environment and his own situation.

At the same time, an indescribable sense of relief welled up in my heart.

Although he had chosen to land near the naval base, he was already exhausted and on his last legs due to serious injuries and two days and two nights of desperate escape.

So, the instant he landed, he unsurprisingly fainted again.

After all, it's hard not to be wary and suspicious of a stranger like him, whose identity is shrouded in mystery and whose whereabouts are elusive.

Surprisingly, the local naval branch did not ignore him because his identity was a mystery.

Instead, they did not hesitate to lend a helping hand and do everything they could to help this injured stranger.

This act of kindness fully demonstrates that every sailor in this naval branch is a person with good intentions.

With his incredibly sharp Observation Haki, he was able to see through the true nature of these people's good and evil.

Therefore, at this moment, Yixiao is fully aware of her current situation.

Recalling the intense battle with Rockefeller and Caesar, Yi Xiao couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Faced with Caesar's terrifyingly powerful strength, Yi Xiao truly felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

At the same time, Yixiao felt helpless about the various misfortunes she encountered in Beihai.

"Hopefully, the Rockefeller empire won't go completely mad!"

Yixiao silently prayed in her heart.

Even in such a difficult situation, Yixiao's heart, which was always concerned about Beihai, never wavered.

Just at that critical moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came.

Judging from the sounds, the person approaching was not alone; it sounded like at least five figures were quickly closing in.

Yi Xiao immediately gathered her wandering thoughts and reacted swiftly.

As the door was slowly pushed open, the colonel led the lieutenant colonel and several professional medical staff into the small ward.

Almost the instant the door opened, Yi Xiao suddenly opened her eyes.

All that could be seen was an object, wrapped tightly in layers of white gauze, resembling a mummy, that began to slowly wriggle.

With a slight rustling sound, the strange thing slowly straightened up from the hospital bed and struggled to sit up.

Immediately afterwards, a deep, hoarse voice, filled with gratitude, reached everyone's ears: "Thank you so much for saving my life. I truly don't know how to repay such a great kindness!"

As he spoke, the man, whose body was wrapped in bandages, bowed deeply to the colonel standing by the bed to express his respect and gratitude.

Upon hearing these words, the colonel was taken aback at first, then revealed an expression that was both surprised and relieved—on the one hand, he was surprised by the humility and politeness of the person in front of him; on the other hand, he was secretly glad that his previous decision was correct, and it seemed that this person was not the kind of person who was utterly wicked.

"Hmm... thankfully I saved him decisively back then!"

The colonel pondered to himself.

At the same time, the lieutenant colonel following behind the colonel also let out a long sigh of relief, but a hint of guilt appeared on his face.

You should know that they were on tenterhooks the whole time, afraid of offending this mysterious and powerful figure!

After all, no one can be sure what kind of background the other party has. If you accidentally offend him, you might all end up in serious trouble.

But seeing Yixiao's friendly and amiable attitude, the lieutenant colonel finally felt relieved.

It's no wonder they were so nervous. After all, when facing a master with such a mysterious background, it's only right to be cautious, right?

Just then, as if sensing the true thoughts of everyone present, Yixiao suddenly sighed softly, then smiled and reassured them, "Everyone, don't worry too much. I'm really not a bad person. Besides, I'm so grateful for your timely help; otherwise, I would be dead already! So, no matter what, I will absolutely not do anything to betray you all!"

After saying that, Yixiao waved gently at everyone to show that he meant no harm.

Upon hearing this, the colonel gave an awkward smile, then quickly said, "Haha, sir, you're too funny. But I'm still very curious, how could someone as capable as you suffer such a serious injury?"

As he spoke, the colonel waved his hand lightly, then cautiously asked.

Yi Xiao slowly shook his head, his already gloomy face becoming even more unpleasant.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke slowly: "Just two days ago, I learned that the Rockefeller Kingdom was about to invade our North Sea region. So I decided to personally go and persuade their leader—Rockefeller Kaiser, the eldest son of the Rockefeller family—to abandon this invasion."
