Setting off for home
But Kronos knew nothing at the moment, so he eagerly struck up a conversation with General Salandon's adjutant.
The two cunning individuals schemed against each other, resulting in Kronos learning a great deal that General Salandon wanted him to know, while the adjutant also learned a great deal about "Mr. Klein."
After the logistics personnel finished cleaning the Fifth Fleet, the Beyonder Characteristic of the Beyonder Pirate on board were also extracted, and Kronos didn't stand on ceremony and collected them all.
There are two Sequence 9 Hunter, one Sequence 8 Provoker, and one Sequence 8 Folk of Rage.
This time, the gains were quite significant.
"Mr. Klein, the valuation of this ship still needs to be done by the logistics department, which will take about half a month. Would you like me to leave a bank account number so I can transfer the money to you directly later?"
Kronos thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it, you and these brothers can divide the money later. It's not really that important to me, but remember to leave a share for Secretary Lü Er'an."
After saying this, Kronos didn't wait for the adjutant's response and jumped off the edge of the ship.
Of course, he didn't jump into the sea; he jumped onto the support staff's boat. There was a rope ladder, but since it was all for show, and Beyonder wouldn't risk injury from a fall, he simply leaped over the wall.
If it were those combat personnel, Kronos would definitely not have shown off like that; after all, who would he be trying to impress?
However, this group of support staff is different; there are still women among both the auditors and medical staff.
That jump was undeniably cool, as you could tell from the reactions of the ship's support staff, though their feet must have been quite shaken.
So Kronos stood at the bow of the ship for a full two minutes before he could walk normally.
For those two minutes, Kronos gazed sadly at the sky, trying to hold back his tears from the pain in his feet.
After showing off, Kronos returned to the Command Ship with the logistics personnel.
What happened after that was completely irrelevant to Kronos. The Iron-Blooded Pirate Group ' Iron Blood and First Fleet were successfully captured, and everyone on both ships was executed on the spot.
As for the other ships, the navy had no time to deal with them, driving all the Pirate into the sea and leaving them to fend for themselves.
The logistics personnel worked all day on this stretch of sea before they could completely clean up the battlefield.
From then on, the Vice Admiral Iron Blood became a thing of the past. The Iron Blood was captured, and the other ships were towed back to Bayam by the navy.
Message of the battle was quickly spread by Amyrius's men, reaching the entire Sonia Sea within days.
For a time, all the Pirate at the Sonia Sea lived in fear, Rorsted Archipelago became a no-go zone for Pirate; not a single Pirate was willing to come there.
Amyrius's desired effect of making a deterrent statement was achieved, and the Loen Kingdom successfully defended its dignity.
After the encirclement and suppression of the Vice Admiral Iron Blood ended, the Loen Kingdom on the Southern Continent sounded the horn of counterattack.
In this world, the Loen Kingdom may not have the strongest military, or even be second strongest, but it possesses the most abundant wealth.
After initially withstanding the fierce attack from the Republic of Intis, the Loen Kingdom spent a large sum of money to hire all the mercenary organizations in the Southern Continent.
Therefore, the counterattack of the Loen Kingdom did not come from its own forces, but rather from a joint counterattack with several mercenary groups.
When Kronos returned to Bayam by ship, newspapers all over the world were reporting on the Loen Kingdom's counterattack.
If Kronos's Wings in this world weren't so great, the Loen Kingdom would surely have won a resounding victory in this counterattack.
After all, in the original story, two years later, the Paz Valley was divided equally between the two countries, and there was no situation where one country monopolized it.
Since Kronos already knew the ending, he had no interest in the process.
So in the days after returning to Bayam, Kronos didn't pay much attention to the war situation. He just stayed at Sharf's house, studying Spell and occasionally browsing the trading market.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and Message about Kronos has spread like wildfire.
It is said that there was a very strong adventurer named Klein, who, because he disapproved of the Vice Admiral Iron Blood's behavior in the Southern Continent, went to great lengths to find the Vice Admiral Iron Blood's position.
Then, in cooperation with the navy, they wiped out the Iron-Blooded Pirate Group.
This Klein was dressed in an old-fashioned suit of armor and was quite skilled; he defeated the Fifth Fleet of the Iron-Blooded Pirate Group in just a few moves.
Kronos's first shot was a success; when he returned to the sea, he would at least no longer be an unknown figure.
With most of his tasks completed and no new issues arising, Kronos was ready to begin the next part of his journey.
Yes, Kronos is getting ready to go home. He's been away for several months now, and he's starting to miss home. It's time to go back.
Before leaving, Kronos deliberately sold all his Beyonder Characteristic to Sharf, as he didn't think they were of much use to him and it was better to get rid of them quickly.
When he returned to Backlund, he would have no shortage of these Low Sequence Beyonder Characteristic and Beyonder Item.
After converting some cash into cash, Kronos bought a house in Bayam and registered it under the name of Klein, which happened to be near Sharf's house.
Finally, Kronos made a special trip to the Navy Base, just to say hello to anyone he knew.
Kronos first visited Sallandon's office. During their time at sea, through their joint efforts, their relationship had progressed towards becoming "friends despite their age difference," though it was, of course, only a superficial, superficial friendship.
"Brother Klein, why are you leaving so soon? The Loen Kingdom's counterattack plan is underway, and soon it will be time for our navy to show its prowess. I was hoping to take you to see the might of our navy," Sallandon said with a regretful expression.
"General Salandon, I've been away for quite some time now, and it's time I went home to visit. But don't worry, I'm not one to stay still for long. I'll probably be out again soon, and I'll definitely pay you a visit then."
"That's good. I'm an old man, and I'm afraid I might not be around any day now. You have to come back soon, or you might not see me again." Sallandon's eyes were already filled with tears as he said this.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in Sallandon's eyes, almost imperceptible if one wasn't paying attention. He asked, "Klein, where are you headed this time?"
Kronos's abilities largely depended on his eyes, so it was impossible for him not to see this instantaneous change. However, he pretended not to notice and answered Sallandon's question with a smile.
"Of course I'm going back to Backlund."
After this period of contact, Kronos has confirmed that Sallandon definitely imagined an identity for himself.
Perhaps because of Amyrius, the identity he imagined was definitely not low, and Sallandon must have something to ask of him, which is why he put himself in such a humble position.
Since that's the case, Kronos naturally wanted to solidify his identity, so of course he had to return to Backlund, since all the important figures were Backlund.
After hearing Kronos's reply, Sallandon didn't show any obvious change in attitude or expression. However, Kronos wasn't one to be oblivious; he noticed that Sallandon's eyes and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, making him appear quite happy.
After exchanging pleasantries with Sallandon for a while, Kronos took his leave.
"General Salandon, I'll be leaving now. I need to pay a visit to Admiral Amyrius; after all, he's helped me quite a bit."
Sallandon had no reason to stop him, so he said, "Then go quickly."
Kronos breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Sallandon's office.
Playing the game with this old fox is truly exhausting.
Upon arriving at Amyrius's office, Kronos didn't even greet anyone before collapsing onto the office sofa.
Admiral Amyrius out to inspect the camp, so Lü Er'an told Kronos to wait inside.
I was getting sleepy from waiting so long when Amyrius finally returned.
"Tell me, what happened this time?" Amyrius asked, sitting in his chair.
Kronos scratched his head sheepishly, realizing that he always seemed to be troubling Amyrius whenever he came.
"There's really nothing wrong this time. I'm just getting ready to go back to Backlund and came to say goodbye."
Amyrius wasn't surprised. He knew perfectly well that Kronos couldn't belong to the sea, and after being away for so long, it was indeed time to go back.
"How are you planning to get back? By passenger ship? Or should I find you a Warship with a ride?"
Upon hearing this, Kronos quickly waved his hand, "But other things are better, passenger ships are much better. Warship are really not places for humans to live. During that mission with the Vice Admiral Iron Blood, my room was so cramped that you couldn't even stretch your legs out."
Amyrius chuckled and scolded, "Others don't even have the chance to go aboard Warship, and you're being so picky."
Then Amyrius continued, "It's better to leave now. I was afraid you'd be led astray by that old fox Sallandon."
Amyrius was not unaware of the dealings between Kronos and Sallandon, so he subtly pointed at Kronos.
"Hehe, I know, I did it on purpose. I felt like he thought I was some kind of very high-ranking person, so I wanted to find out what he was capable of, just in case I could use me."
"Let me give you a piece of advice: if you can't help him, don't give him hope. I believe you don't want to know how terrifying an old man who has lost hope, is nearing the end of his life, and still holds power."
