Chapter 39 Black Pirate Flag

At this time, Major Benjamin had already answered the phone.

"It's rescued. The G-2 branch responded, saying that it was Mr. Porusalino and he would lead the fleet to come here in person!"

He shouted happily and stepped into the door. His tone could not hide his compliment, which made people almost think that the G-2 branch could send troops was all due to his efforts to fight for it.

"As long as we guard the city walls and hold the enemy for a day or two, when Mr. Porusalino arrives, the one-eyed pirates will only be defeated, and the one-eyed robber Fernandi will be sent into the city to advance!"

This news caused cheers among the navy at the 78th Branch Base.

These soldiers who lack training on weekdays and have not fought seriously for a long time have been uneasy after hearing the news of the attack of the One-Eyed Pirates, but now they seem to have a reassurance. Not only does their worries fade away, but their morale is also surprisingly high.

Is it the shadow of a human tree?

Vito silently saw this change. He clearly realized that although Kizaru had not yet become a general in the current timeline, he had obviously become quite famous at the grassroots of the navy. The name Porusalino is synonymous with sense of security and trust.

When can you do this?

He dusted the ashes and soon laughed and returned to reality from his thoughts. The distance from him was still very far away. Now let’s talk about it first.

"Hey, be careful!"

"Give me the front, don't block the stretcher!"

At this time, a commotion came from the side. Two medical soldiers carried Lieutenant Colonel Ruff's stretcher, passed through the crowd gathered behind the door, and hurried to the hospital behind the fortress building.

It was a small hospital under the 78 Branch Base, which was slightly larger than the clinic, but the basic medical equipment was quite complete. In addition to working at the branch base and handling the injuries of some soldiers, several doctors and nurses in it also took on private work in the city.

Rufu was seriously injured. These two medical soldiers with the team could only undergo a simple hemostasis and bandage, treatment and rest, and finally they had to be sent to the hospital and handed over to professionals.

Vito's eyes kept following the stretcher, watching Roof being carried all the way from the door.

The latter seemed to be in a coma and did not move for a long time.

However, Vito still noticed keenly that after Benjamin told the news that Kizaru would come to reinforce in person, Ruf's eyelids twitched as if they were imperceptible, and they returned to normal in a flash.

Vito sneered and snatched out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"What are you looking at?"

The curious voice of ibuprofen suddenly sounded behind him.

"Nothing." Vito shook his head and naturally changed the subject. "All the patrol ships on the port are sent out? Is there any news?"

"Not yet, after all, it's late, the sea is foggy, and the sight is not very good."

Speaking of this, Ibuprofen was a little worried, "Hey, Vito, I heard that the one-eyed robber Fernandi was very cunning. Will he deliberately not get close first, and wait until our vigilance is declining late at night before suddenly landing and launching an attack?"

"There is this possibility, so you have to take turns on duty tonight and you must not take it lightly."

Vito disagreed, but nodded seriously on his face, "Oh, by the way, what does the city guard say? They have to take on the responsibility of guarding the city wall, right?"

"What else can I say? I'm polite and said I will cooperate with us."

Ibuprofen curled his lips, "But I really hope that they'll forget it. I hope that when the One-Eyed Pirates attack the city, these guys will not drag us down, and being a deserter will affect morale."

There are only 200,000 to 300,000 people in Earl City, and there are no princes and nobles. The so-called city guards are just a small security team led by two major families and are affiliated with the city hall.

There were about 300 people in the entire city guards, and the general quality of the soldiers was much worse than that of the Navy of the 78th Branch. They were responsible for maintaining public order in the city and dealing with trivial matters. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were a mob. No wonder Ibuprofen looked down on them.

"Where are the two big families?" Vito thought for a while and asked again, "Earl City is still very dangerous these two days. Wouldn't they send people to defend the city wall?"

The two big families Luke and Resack can control the economic lifeline of an island, and their status is even higher than the branch base established by the Navy. It is unreasonable to have no armed forces. Among the strong men raised in private, there are no devil fruit abilities.

Even Vito did not dare to underestimate these two local snakes since entering the city.

This is certainly a world that values ​​force, but money and capital are not opposite to personal strength, and can often be transformed and reconciled with each other. The Golden Emperor, who has just escaped from Mary Qiaoa and has not yet made a fortune, will be the best proof in the future.

"If the battle is not critical, there will be no movement."

Ibuprofen hesitated for a while before he could not figure it out, "There were pirates sieges in the city before, and they rarely care about it. Unless we and the city guards could no longer defend, they would send reinforcements over slowly, otherwise they would not be able to call them."

"Understood."

Vito nodded, knowing the style of these two big families when facing foreign enemies. After a few simple conversations, he said goodbye to Ibuprofen and hurried to the top of the fortress building.

Although he is only suspicious and cannot figure out the specific situation for the time being, Vito has roughly planned to deal with it in his heart and needs to find Heck, the top chief of the nominal base, to discuss and explain.

…………

A night passed by. On the city wall, the soldiers who were red in their eyes changed shifts with their companions who came to hand over. They stayed up all night but didn't wait for any movement. They couldn't help but complain when they talked privately.

Some people even think that the One-Eyed Pirates have changed their mind temporarily, or encountered storms on the road, and will not attack Earl Island again.

If this is true, it may be a good thing for these soldiers who are afraid of war in their hearts, but unfortunately, this guess was ultimately lost.

When the night faded and the east was white, the patrol ships scattered around the island finally returned to the military port and heard urgent news into the city that the traces of the one-eyed pirates were found fifty kilometers away from the east.

The entire 78 branch base suddenly caused a sensation.

Many soldiers who had just finished their night shift were awakened by the sound of gathering horns shortly after they fell asleep. After they figured out the situation, even though they were exhausted, they could only ride in a snow lion car with their colleagues, and rushed to the city wall in the east with their colleagues anxiously.

By the time they arrived, the One-Eyed Pirates were about to arrive at the coastline.
