Chapter 44 Official Credentials (Part )

high altitude.

Above the thin clouds.

Augustus held a glass of deep red wine, shook it gently, and looked down at the two huge ships on the river below that were spitting out shells crazily.

"Joe Peter, Joe Peter, that's great. I didn't expect you to be so efficient. You have already manufactured the design of the 'Super Dreadnought-class Battleship' that we gave you half a year ago, and deployed it to the East Country!"

Augustus praised: "Although you are just a group of primitive and ignorant natives, at least your work attitude is great!"

Peter Joe looked at Augustus with a dull expression.

"Respected Sir Augustus, what did you say? The warship below is..." Joe Peter tried his best to open his eyes wide, but still couldn't see clearly, so he ran to the hanging basket, leaned over a huge pair of binoculars, and looked down at the two warships on the river. He finally saw the two British royal naval flags swaying in the river breeze!
"But I didn't receive any notice!" Joe Peter exclaimed, "Is this our battleship? How come it's so huge? Moreover, we only got the design drawings half a year ago? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Joe Peter said in a hissing voice: "I know that group of industrial workers in the country. It takes them three years to launch an armored cruiser. They can't complete such a huge ship without five years. Not to mention that the navy warships have to go through a long sea trial. After being familiar with the performance of the warships, they can be sent here from the mainland."

"The land distance is tens of thousands of miles in a straight line, and the sea distance is more than 150,000 miles. Even if the journey is smooth, it will take more than half a year of sailing day and night from the mainland to the East Country!" Joe Peter jumped to his feet and screamed, "Sir Augustus, this is not our Yingjishi battleship, absolutely not!"

Augustus and several men with blond hair and golden eyes all widened their eyes.

They looked at each other, speechless for a long time - they suddenly realized that, yes, the Kingdom of England could not have such a strong industrial capacity. It was impossible to master the design of a new battleship in half a year, build it, and then deploy it from the mainland to the distant East!
So, whose are the two big ones below?

Augustus dropped the red wine glass in his hand, and golden light suddenly lit up in his eyes. His pupils contracted and he stared straight at the two huge ships. Yes, they were the 'super-dreadnought-class battleships' they gave to the Kingdom of Ingis!
The length of the ship, the outline of the ship, the design of the main guns, the positions of the secondary guns, all the details match.

The only thing that doesn't match is that the artillery accuracy of these two giants is a bit too much... Well, yes, this is a huge flaw. How could the artillery accuracy of these two giants reach such a level?

"Go find Di Si!" Augustus's face darkened. "There is a third party causing trouble among us."

Augustus slapped the alloy window frame of the hanging basket hard, and the hard special alloy was slapped by him to leave a three-inch deep palm print. Following his command, the hard-shell airship drew a turbulent arc, accompanied by a sharp high-pressure jet sound, and the airship moved forward at full speed.

With the abilities of Augustus and others, they were able to look down from a high position and immediately found Di Si and others standing on the street corners two streets outside the ruins of the cathedral, shouting and cursing.

The airship quickly lowered its altitude, and Augustus was the first to jump out of the basket.

"Augustus!" The first thing Emperor saw was Augustus. Before he could stand firm, he pounced on him and punched him in the face.

Augustus snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand and grasped Disi's fist.

'Boom'!
The street beneath their feet shook violently, and with a "crack", a crack half a foot wide and several feet long appeared on the street. On the street, a water pipe was torn apart, and a large amount of clean water mixed with mud rushed up several feet high, turning into a torrential rain and falling on their heads.

"All-out war!" Emperor spit at Augustus, "I have ordered the Saint Norman Guards to come to the East Country. We will choose a battlefield in the East Country and start the war!"

Dis screamed a little hysterically.

"Those two ships are not ours." Augustus waved his hand and threw away Di's fist.

The furious look on Di Si's face, with blood-red light surging in his eyes, suddenly froze. A faint light faded from his eyes, and he slowly stood up straight: "Is there a third party involved?"

Augustus frowned and took out a long cigarette and handed it to Dis.

When Des took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, Augustus took out a lighter inlaid with tiny diamonds and lit it for him with a ding sound. He also put a cigarette in his mouth: "But the damn thing is, those two ships were clearly built according to the design we gave to the Yingji people."

"But we only gave them the design drawings half a year ago...For this drawing, the Ingish royal family even gave us their three most beautiful unmarried princesses." Augustus blew out a smoke ring.

"The natives don't have the engineering capability." Di Si also blew out a smoke ring. He said in a deep voice: "Then this third party force is very scary. They got the blueprints you gave them, built ships in a very short time, and deployed them to the East Country."

"They also have strong intelligence capabilities. They took advantage of the conflict between us to launch an attack." Augustus took a deep breath, and almost smoked the long cigarette in one breath. He held the smoke in his lungs for a long time, and then slowly exhaled: "Who could it be?"

On the river, the dull sound of artillery fire suddenly stopped.

The two huge ships drew a long arc on the river, turned around, and sailed at full speed along the river towards the estuary.

Dis and Augustus flew out at the same time, leaving behind a few blurry afterimages, and after a few takeoffs and landings they reached the riverside avenue. They stood on the shore, looking at the rapidly receding ships, and felt a dull pain in their teeth.

"They know we met." Augustus sighed.

"Are there their people around us?" There was a flash of blood in Di Si's eyes. He turned around fiercely and stared at his companions who followed him one by one. At this moment, everyone he looked at was a traitor.

"My companions are pure." Augustus fanned the flames at the side: "But your people... You know, among your people, there are always some dangerous elements on the verge of collapse. What can't they do?"

Dis clenched his fists tightly. He looked at his companions who were gradually approaching him and said in a deep voice, "Stop all actions. We, together with Augustus and the others, will investigate this shelling incident."

Augustus said softly, "Then stop your dangerous game. You are not allowed to mess with the young men we transported to England."

"Give us half of the share!" Di Si looked at Augustus grimly: "We also need population replenishment, you know!"

"The population doesn't matter, but you have to pay the corresponding amount for the required consumption, such as food, weapons, medicine, and some other things." Augustus spread his hands and said, "Several provinces in their northwest have been affected by disasters, and there are hundreds of millions of refugees waiting to die."

Dis and Augustus clapped their hands heavily to each other.

The tense and latent murderous intent between the two groups of people around them, the blond with golden eyes and the blond with red eyes, suddenly dissipated a little. The remaining half of the latent murderous intent was carefully restrained in their hearts.

A little further away, on the top of a building, behind a sculpture of a goddess with wings on her back, Oger was holding a camera with a telephoto lens and taking a lot of photos of Disi and Augustus who were clapping, and he also gave extremely clear close-ups of the two from the front and side.

Around them, the men with gold eyes and red eyes, as well as those men of lower status with silver eyes and purple eyes, were all taken clear close-up shots by him one by one.

Behind him, Lome, who was holding up a parasol and wearing a white dress with blue flowers and a sun hat, and a handful of coriander on her chest where a brooch should be, was leaning over a special telescope. Her fingers lightly pressed the buttons of the camera connected to the telescope, and with a "click, click" sound, she captured all the details of the sterns of the two giant ships on the river.

After finishing all this, Luo Mei turned to the small table under the parasol, poured herself a glass of iced champagne, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp. She pouted her lips, as if she was dissatisfied with the lack of taste, poured another glass of champagne, plucked a handful of coriander from her chest, and soaked it in the glass.

Oger turned around and saw Luo Mei's actions. He shuddered all over and murmured, "What a terrible taste... Are you really not allergic to this terrible vegetable?"

"It tastes great!" Luo Mei picked up the wine glass, sniffed it hard, took a sip, and sighed with great satisfaction: "It tastes great. A weak man actually had his throat swollen because of a vegetable and almost suffocated to death... How shameful!"

Oger's face was dark, with a hint of red in it, which was extremely spectacular.

He looked at Romei who occupied the parasol with a sullen look, and simply stood at the edge of the parasol's shadow, carefully keeping a distance of half a meter from Romei, or rather, from the coriander on her body.

He said in a deep voice: "These blond guys are a huge variable."

Luo Mei's face also turned gloomy. She shook the wine glass lightly, stuffed a bunch of coriander pinned to her chest into the glass, and took a big sip.

"If we could have one of their living bodies...even a corpse would be fine." Luo Mei whispered, "Perhaps, we could learn a little bit of their secrets." In her deep eyes, a blue light, almost purple, suddenly lit up. Her eyes were dim, and the ground several feet in front of Luo Mei was illuminated by her eyes into a dim blue: "Commander, if you need me..."

Oger glared at Lome fiercely.

The dim light in Luo Mei's eyes suddenly faded.

Oger exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice, "No, no, no, of course not. Luo Mei, our companions are too few in number. I will not allow our companions to take risks. I have such a huge resource, naturally there will be people willing to risk their lives for us."

"I hope our Second Lieutenant Li Li can give us a surprise."

Oger said softly, "By the way, please help me make an appointment with the Consul General of the Aimee Federation and the Consul General of the Dongyun Island Federation. We can give those island dwarfs a taste of their most urgent demands in recent years. Of course, they must pay a price!"

Lome frowned.

She looked at Ogden with deep eyes, put down the wine glass in her hand, walked slowly to Ogden, and put her right hand on Ogden's heart. She quietly felt Ogden's heartbeat for a while, and whispered: "What are you thinking about now? I can't keep up with your thoughts."

Oger smiled, just smiled, he didn't say anything.

Luo Mei withdrew his hand, looked up at the pale blue sun in the sky that was shining brightly, and sighed softly, "Amitābha, the Most High!"

Oger coughed lightly.

Luo Mei rolled her eyes, placed her right hand lightly on her chest, and muttered lazily: "Well, merciful and most high Mother, ah, ah, ah!"

Luo Mei rolled her tongue, scraped a small piece of coriander leaf from the corner of her mouth, and spat it out heavily.

The northern part of the International Concession.

The two blond, red-eyed men who were attacked had hundreds of bone-deep gashes on their bodies after just one encounter with the skinny man. Large amounts of blood splattered, and the two men cried out in pain.

Their armors were wriggling, trying their best to repair their wounds, but the thin man's seemingly ordinary rapier was attached with some strange energy. Their armors continued to grow, but at the wounds, wisps of extinct death energy frantically devoured the vitality surging in their bodies.

The source energy in the body was consumed quickly. The more the two people urged the source energy to repair the wounds, the more the wounds expanded. The damaged armor continued to turn into sticky pus and blood dripping, and the plasma took on a strange dark green color, with a layer of faint fluorescent flashes. Even in broad daylight, this layer of dim fluorescence could be clearly seen.

Xing Tianli was hiding deep underground. When his soul power came into contact with the pus and blood flowing out of the two men's bodies, he couldn't help but grin.

Terrible radiation!

The radiation levels are frighteningly high.

The two blond, red-eyed men were full of vitality, but this radiation was aimed at the vitality of living things. No matter how much vitality was flowing in their bodies, if they were slightly touched by the radiation, all the vitality would be annihilated, and all the tiny cells in the newly grown flesh and blood would disintegrate, shrink, and lose all vitality.

With a loud bang, the two pit bulls opened their mouths wide and bit the two men's bodies fiercely.

The two men reacted extremely quickly. When the pit bulls opened their mouths to bite, they twisted their bodies to avoid the vital part of their necks. The bloody mouths of the two pit bulls only bit their shoulders.

Something shocking happened.

Xing Tianli clearly "saw" that when the teeth of the two pit bulls touched the bodies of the two men, their teeth suddenly became more than twice as long, and the teeth began to vibrate at a terrifying high frequency, and changed from a cold metallic color to a high-temperature red.

The high-frequency vibrating high-temperature teeth pierced fiercely into the heavy armor of the two men.

The teeth and armor collided with each other, making a harsh friction sound, sparks flying, armor fragments constantly breaking, and the faint sound of the two pit bulls' teeth breaking could be heard.

The two pit bulls waved their limbs, and the claws that were originally hidden deep in their "meat pads" suddenly stretched out half a foot long. The sharp claws were also vibrating at a high frequency, also emitting red light and bursting out with terrible high temperatures.

Its claws scratched at the two men, tearing frantically at the wounds that had been cut by the thin man's sword.

Large pieces of rotten flesh and blood splattered, and blood and pus spurted out for a long distance like a small fountain.

The two men cried out in pain, burning their source energy madly.

'call'!
A white tornado rose from the flat ground, and the high-pressure airflow was like a sharp knife, madly cutting the bodies of the two pit bulls. There was also a terrifying high-temperature flame that turned into an almost semi-solid magma, which wrapped the two pit bulls and burned rapidly as the tornado raged.

The black fur of the two pit bulls began to soften and melt, and some pieces of fur were burned to ashes, revealing the matte alloy skeleton underneath. Strands of extremely fine light flickered on the alloy skeletons of the two big guys, blurry and illusory, revealing an extreme sense of technology.

The sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard again, and the thin man swung his sword and advanced towards the two men again.

The long sword split the air and tore open the chests of the two men. The sword light vibrated left and right, and the chests of the two men were opened, revealing their rapidly beating hearts and a crystal-like capsule next to the hearts that was spewing strong flames.

The thin man muttered in a low voice: "Life transformation? Foolish carbon-based creatures, you have rebelled against the correct 'Tao'!"

Xing Tianli felt something strange.

I heard the word "Tao" from the mouth of an inhuman guy.

Well, the 'Tao' you are talking about and the 'Tao' of practitioners should not be the same thing, right?
Xing Tianli's palms were itchy and he was eager to do something.

He pondered for a moment, and the purple Taoist robe on his body changed with a faint light and turned into an iron-gray Saint Norman army uniform. The magic bamboo in his hand flashed with light and turned into a standard command sword of a Saint Norman officer.

The blood in his body surged slightly, and Xing Tianli's long hair suddenly fell apart, leaving only a short hair. His face moved, and the corners of his eyes, eyebrows, facial features, and even the color of his pupils all changed slightly.

He had a rectangular face, resolute and stern, with iron-gray hair and pupils, a completely standard appearance of a Saint Norman adult male. And this appearance was not made up out of thin air. Among the Saint Norman troops that had previously hunted down Xing Tianli, there was a senior commander who looked just like him!
There are a large number of body secrets in the Primitive Witchcraft Scripture.

Changing one's facial features is just a small trick among small tricks and is not a great skill at all.

Silently "floating up", he came to a place only a foot below the ground. Xing Tianli roared, smashed the mud layer above with one punch, and jumped out directly from behind the thin man.

The command knife transformed from the Tongtian Miaozhu emitted a terrifying cold light and, with a shrill sound of breaking through the air, chopped fiercely at the back of the thin man's neck.

The thin man's body underwent extremely strange changes.

His body didn't move at all, but what was behind him suddenly turned into what was in front of him!

It was like looking in a mirror. His body suddenly switched front and back. He went from facing Xing Tianli with his back to facing Xing Tianli directly. He originally held the sword in his right hand, but now he held it in his left hand. The sword stabbed with countless cold stars, and with a terrible tearing sound, it pierced Xing Tianli's vital points.

Xing Tianli let out a long roar, and swung out the "Sword Eighteen" with all his might. The eighteen blade beams collided head-on with the cold stars.

After a series of sharp sounds of metal clashing, Xing Tianli's body shook violently, and he flew backwards more than ten feet. He let out a light shout, and just as his toes touched the ground, he suddenly sank into the rolling mud and disappeared.
