Chapter 719 Loss
The navy's retreat was so smooth that it even felt too smooth. When the remaining navy sailed away, they were even a little dazed.

"Are all the pirates quiet?"

Zhan Guo changed his clothes and said with a frown, God knows how much seaweed and other things were on his head when he was thrown onto the boat by Garp just now.

"Report, without the marshal, the entire island seemed to be silent for a moment, and the pirates did not continue the pursuit."

A staff officer reported.

"Let all observers be alert, something is not right. This is not normal behavior of pirates. I suspect they have another conspiracy!"

Sengoku said with some concern that this battle was too confusing, the Four Emperors had too many abnormal actions, which always caused heavy losses to the navy in the end, and Sengoku had to be careful.

"Could it be that they really didn't intend to take action, and after seeing us leave, they just went straight to the banquet?"

Garp said as he looked out the window at the wounded soldiers being transferred.

"If the opponent is Roger, I believe it, even if it's just one of the Four Emperors' pirate groups, I believe it, but if all four pirate groups are there, I find it hard to believe that they won't take advantage of the victory to pursue."

Zhan Guo shook his head and said.

"Yes, I agree with Sengoku's idea. In fact, I was a little surprised at the time. After I saw Rose Lily coming, and with your signal, Sengoku, I immediately jumped into the sea and left. Unlike Garp, I chose to dive. After all, on the sea, my speed is much slower than Rose Lily. What I didn't expect was that they didn't chase us from beginning to end. There was no trace of them on the sea at all, as if they didn't care about our departure at all."

Zefa also said very puzzled.

"Anyway, it's a good thing they didn't catch up. By the way, take a look at this."

Sengoku said as he took out a few photos and gave them to Zephyr and Garp.

"What is this?"

Karp took the photo, looked at the unclear things on it, rubbed his eyes, looked at it carefully and asked.

"A battleship made of pure steel? This shape is really strange, a battleship that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and with this muzzle and such a long gun barrel, how far can it fire?"

The one in Zephyr's hand was the only photo of the Blue Dragon. It was taken from a distance and not very well, but at least you could tell what it was, which was better than the one in Garp's hand.

"Outside the normal field of vision, when the ship is larger than the ironclad warship, and sailing to the point where it looks like a small black dot to the naked eye, it can still hit the target with every shot. In terms of technological strength, it is completely overwhelming. The one in your hand, Garp, is a mass-produced, flying mechanical vehicle, a bit like a flying fish, but different from a flying fish, it is bigger, flies higher, is faster, and has the ability to drop bombs. The four ironclad warships were all turned into sitting ducks because of this thing and were sunk by the steel ship."

Zhan Guo told him what he had learned. There were five ironclad ships, but no more than two hundred people returned. The number of casualties was frighteningly high. It could be said that the highest number of deaths in the entire war was on these five ironclad ships. Although no strong men died, the deaths of those grassroots soldiers were enough to make Zhan Guo heartbroken.

"Hey, have the losses been counted?"

When Garp heard what Sengoku said, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He lowered his head and thought for a while before asking.

"Almost. There were 13 people when they came. There were not many casualties in the first battle, about . Then people left, and less than were left. According to current statistics, the remaining number may be less than . This battle directly lost more than people, including three lieutenant generals, a giant lieutenant general Hammer, a headquarters lieutenant general Douglas, and a branch base chief, who is G's Hou Mo. The loss of major generals is , brigadier generals is , and the colonels and lieutenants have not been counted yet. After all, there are many of them and it will take time." Warring States handed the report in his hand to Garp and said.

"Three lieutenant generals? What about Hammer, Douglas, and Houmo?"

Although the branch base commander is not a lieutenant general of the headquarters, he is on the same level as the lieutenant general of the headquarters. As long as he is not a base commander like Sihai, there is no such thing as being two levels lower. The loss of three lieutenant generals is already very large, and it is even enough to make the Navy Headquarters feel painful for a while.

"Hamor collided with Archaon of the Beasts and was thrown into the sea. It was nothing, but he happened to fall into the attack range of the steel ship. He was already injured, and a cannonball happened to enter his body through the wound and hit his heart. It was bad luck."

To be honest, the death of Lieutenant General Hamer was so coincidental, so coincidental that Zhan Guo didn't know what to say.

"Well, this is really unlucky. What about Douglas and Homer?"

Zefa also twitched his mouth. This situation is really rare. The giant who has always been known for his toughness actually died so casually. It's really unheard of.

"Douglas was also unlucky, but for a different reason. He seemed to have mistakenly entered the battle between Sakaski and his men, which resulted in him being severely injured by the concentrated fire, and then being picked up by someone else. As for Hou Mo, he saw Lily's whereabouts and wanted to step forward to stop them, but was chopped down by Lily."

Zhan Guo did not delay and told the situation of the two people. To be honest, the deaths of at least two of the three people could have been avoided, such as Hou Mo. The gap between him and Lily was not something he could resist, and this way of death was definitely an unnecessary waste.

Then there was Douglas. His so-called "Don't Enter" was actually a nice way of saying it. He did stay away, but not in the center of the battlefield, but at the edge. He thought no one had noticed him, so he wanted to sneak attack there. As a result, the opponent had already noticed him, and when he jumped out, he was attacked by Jin, Dai, and Katakuri at the same time, and was cut in half on the spot. As for Hammer, there was really nothing he could do. His luck was so bad that it was unheard of.

"After I go back this time, I must teach them one more lesson. I want them to understand that the battlefield is not the time for them to act like heroes. They should not act like heroes unless they have no other choice. They should not even think about interfering in a battle that is not their level. Otherwise, they will not be helping, but causing trouble instead."

Zefa sat down on the chair, this situation really made him feel uncomfortable, completely unnecessary sacrifice, even among the lieutenant generals, he didn't know how many such people there were among the major generals, brigadier generals, colonels, lieutenants and even ordinary soldiers. He must pay attention to it. As the chief instructor of the navy, he must make these people understand which people they can afford to offend and which they cannot. Running away is sometimes not shameful!
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Garp, do you still have the strength? If you do, go to the observation tower and help keep an eye on things. Your eyes are the most useful. I'm a little worried about Borsalino being alone."

Zhan Guo thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Garp nodded and said, while Sengoku threw a bag of senbei to Garp.

"I won't let you work for nothing. This is my last bag of senbei. I'm giving it to you."

Sengoku said this with a smile on his face, and looking at the senbei in his hand, Garp laughed and threw it back.

"You keep it. Wasn't this bought for you by your godson? I wouldn't touch this even if I wanted to eat it. Otherwise, do you think I didn't notice it? Hahahaha!"

Garp walked out of the door with a smile, leaving Sengoku with a stunned look on his face. It turned out that this old guy knew about this?

Just when the navy was confused, at the same time, in an inconspicuous place below the Red Earth Continent, the Catapult and the Wolff of the Wolf Pirates were parked here. Barrett, who had not appeared on the battlefield for a long time, was holding a single-line Den Den Mushi and said with a smile.

"All the surprises are ready and ready to go!"
