Chapter 1115: What Use Are Useless Things!
“Get the officer here out for me!!!”
A voice filled with anger, like the roar of a male lion.
It exploded overhead like a bolt from the blue.
Instantly echoing throughout this large valley, bristling with cannons and dotted with fortresses.
Suddenly.
Inside Halkeginia Gate base.
The Auxiliary Corps soldiers guarding various posts looked up.
They saw a large, black figure blocking the scorching sun, casting a wide shadow that enveloped everything like a curtain.
Even though they couldn't clearly see the newcomer's appearance.
An uncontrollable sense of unease and nervousness began to rise in everyone's heart.
This feeling, so stifling it even suppressed their breathing, made them feel an impulse to immediately kneel down.
Soon, the scorching hot sunlight poured down again.
Because that figure had already made his descent into the base.
[Thump thump thump thump thump]
A series of rapid footsteps sounded, and they saw a man who looked like a military officer, leading a squad of soldiers, rushing over.
He wore a crisp olive-green summer uniform, a green peaked cap with a black brim, and a brownish-yellow pistol holster hanging from his waist.
He looked to be only around thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, fair skin, and a small mustache under his nose.
“Report, Admiral Golden Lion!”
“I am Colonel Arthur Ernest Percival, Regimental Commander of the Second Regiment, Second Brigade, Second Infantry Division, First Army Group of the Auxiliary Corps. I was originally a Londoner from the Bull Country in Demon Slayer World No. 0002, and I am here under orders to perform garrison duty. Requesting instructions!”
As soon as he walked up to Shiki, who was floating in mid-air, he introduced his identity loudly with a look of unease.
“Colonel?”
Shiki narrowed his sinister eyes, looking down at this extremely thin and weak fellow.
“So you're not the officer here. But what did you just say your mission was?”
“Under orders to lead the entire regiment in garrisoning here!” Colonel Percival answered loudly again.
“Good, you can go die now!”
Killing intent burst forth from Shiki's eyes, and he suddenly swung his right palm towards the other party.
[Bang!]
Colonel Percival had no time to react, only terror and doubt flashing in his eyes.
His body and the ten soldiers behind him were instantly blasted away by an invisible impact, exploding into a terrifying blood mist in the air.
This wasn't martial arts, nor was it the Float-Float Fruit ability; it was just a simple wave of his palm.
But with Shiki's strength, it was enough to annihilate these ordinary people from Demon Slayer World.
“Admiral, please calm your anger, try not to vent it on the low-level soldiers!”
Bud, whose body was flashing with golden lightning, rushed up at this moment and quickly pleaded.
“Hmph!”
Shiki glanced coldly at the other party but didn't reprimand him.
He was satisfied with this adjutant, who was said to have once been the Air Force Admiral of the Imperial Air Force in the Imperial Arms World.
Normally, the other party handled many things for him.
Only then did he have time to go out for a stroll, or improve his physical ability in the 'Gravity Training Ground'.
So Shiki was willing to give Bud this much respect.
Just then, a whooshing sound echoed in the air.
Looking again, it turned out to be CP7 members, one by one, wearing black suits.
“Admiral Golden Lion, what are you doing?”
One of them stepped forward, pointing at the gore in the distance, and questioned Shiki coldly.
At this moment, the nearby soldiers were already scared and kneeling on the ground, trembling, not even daring to lift their heads.
“You're the CP7 officer here?” Shiki glared over fiercely.
The man in black frowned: “Yes, I am Squad Leader Jimmy of the CP7 Squad. May I ask why Admiral Golden Lion attacked Colonel Percival?”
“Garrisoning the base, yet unable to even watch over a single person, causing the great army to be unable to proceed according to plan. Shouldn't he die?”
“And you're useless too!”
Shiki roared angrily, and immediately made a move again, but this time he changed his palm into a fist.
Squad Leader Jimmy secretly thought 'not good' in his heart, and subconsciously stomped his right foot heavily, attempting to use 'Shave' to avoid the attack.
However, the power difference between the two sides was worlds apart.
'Shave' requires stepping dozens of times in an 'instant'. But when he had just taken less than ten steps in that 'instant', his chest had already suffered the impact of a fist force from across the air.
“Ugh————”
This CP7 squad leader's body bent like a shrimp, spitting out blood from his mouth.
He turned into an afterimage like a cannonball and flew backwards, leaving only a mournful scream on the spot.
[Bang!]
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding CP7 members witnessed their captain heavily smashing into the distant mountain wall, their faces all showing a look of dumbfounded terror.
“Hmph, I'll leave you a dog's life!”
Shiki's tone was full of coldness and disdain.
However, this made Bud, who was behind him, breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
He was fortunate that Admiral Golden Lion hadn't gone too far.
If he had really killed the other party, Cipher Pol Headquarters would definitely not let it go easily. After all, the military and CP are two different systems.
At this moment, Shiki shifted his pair of terrifying eyes to the base officer who had finally arrived.
“Report!”
“I am Rear Admiral Douglas MacArthur, Division Commander of the Second Infantry Division, First Army Group of the Auxiliary Corps!”
MacArthur forcefully endured the nauseatingly thick gore in the air, reporting hastily with a slightly trembling voice.
At the same time, he specifically emphasized the words 'Rear Admiral'.
He thought that as a military officer, he shouldn't be easily killed by Admiral Golden Lion.
“Rear Admiral, the officer of this base. So you should understand the importance of Louise.”
Shiki looked at the other party expressionlessly, his gaze like he was looking at a corpse.
“Report, regarding Miss Louise, the requirement we received was to treat her as well as possible, so it was difficult to conduct strict monitoring. Under this situation, our soldiers, as mortals, were unable to stop her from leaving the base using magic in time!”
Rear Admiral MacArthur felt very wronged.
How could Louise's disappearance be blamed on them?
Besides, her main person in charge should be CP7 and ASC!
Why should they, as mortals, be expected to watch over her when a group of superhumans couldn't?
“Well said.”
Shiki listened patiently and nodded, seemingly agreeing with Rear Admiral MacArthur.
But the next second, his right hand turned into a hand blade and sliced across in front of him in an instant.
Everyone around only felt a dazzling golden light blooming before their eyes, forcing them to close their eyes, but a strange sound of landing came from their ears.
When someone opened their eyes again.
They discovered that Rear Admiral MacArthur's body had been diagonally sliced into two bloody and mangled halves.
His still relatively intact face was full of unwillingness and suffering.
“To speak of your own incompetence as if it were natural. Since you're useless, what use are you!”
Shiki cursed angrily with a ferocious expression.
The killing intent leaking from his body, mixed with the gore in the air, terrified the soldiers kneeling all over the ground, and even the few CP7 were trembling with fear.
Bud watched this scene and sighed inwardly, also feeling helpless.
Admiral Golden Lion truly didn't listen to reason at all. Only Cipher Pol could make him have some concerns.
As for the people of the Auxiliary Corps, he dealt with them entirely based on his mood.
He was very unhappy now, in a very bad mood, so he had to kill to vent anger.
However, since Louise was lost in this base, the base commander did indeed have some responsibilities.
But in Bud's view, this was not a capital offense. Unfortunately, he wasn't the one in charge now.
At the same time.
Within another green domain in this valley base, Im actually also saw the scene of Shiki killing people.
However, he had no idea of stopping or punishing the other party.
Because such a triviality didn't require him to handle it. If there was to be accountability, it should be done by the Command Department.
However, Kong probably wouldn't make things difficult for Shiki over these officers of the Auxiliary Corps either.
Compared to these things, Im was currently more concerned about 'Halkeginia Gate'.
“Mu will first take a look at what unique aspect this domain has…”
