Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

Shout!

Things like this happen all the time in Area 30. The Marines let people go home, and all the tourists were driven to the ship. They either set off overnight or could only spend the night on the ship.

In addition, they also had to be searched for pirates. As a result, some nobles from other countries who came here to play had their slaves taken away.

This caused these people to complain, but to Marines, they only strictly carried out Kuro’s orders and were not afraid of these nobles’ threats.

After all, Marines are Marines and they have to follow Headquarters orders. They are not subordinates of the so-called nobles.

This search lasted until night.

After dealing with the tourists in Area 30, Marine turned to the residence in Area 30 and began to investigate door-to-door.

3,000 Marines and 1,000 people surrounded the border of Area 30 and imposed control. The rest of them carried out a large search.

Bang bang bang!

“Open the door, we are Marines!”

“I suspect you have pirates here, please cooperate with the search.”

“We are Marines, we will keep you safe!”

Such words sounded in Area 30.

“Check, check!”

At this time, in a shabby place of 35 GR, Basil led the team and knocked on a gate.

Behind this door, there seems to be a group of low bungalows, which is the residence of the poor people of Sabaody Archipelago, which is generally isolated from the park area.

But this kind of place is the focus of the search.

Bang! Bang!

After knocking twice and seeing that there was no response from the door, Basil looked up at the shining light and waved his hand, saying, “Push the cannon over and blast it!”

“Second Lieutenant, is it too…” A Marine hesitated.

“You don’t need a cannon to get this place open?” Basil turned around and glared at him.

“Yes! I’ll go and get ready!” Marine saluted and ran out.

Soon, a group of Marines pushed a cannon over.

Basil took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. “It’s inside! I’ll count to three. If you don’t open the door, I’ll blow it up!”

“Three!”

Basil didn’t even count and waved his hand. “Give me…”

SQUEAK!

The door was suddenly opened and a few people in ragged clothes stood inside the door, looking panicked. “It’s open, it’s open, it’s open! Marine, don’t attack.”

“Eh, troublesome…”

Basil walked in and glanced at the group of people who looked nervous and said, “Marines want to check. Now go back to your own homes and don’t run around.”

“Marine.”

A tall man stood up, rubbed his hands and said obsequiously, “This is a slum, no pirates will come here. We have long known the order and we have already called everyone out for Marine to check.”

As he spoke, he pointed behind him.

At the entrance of the group of low-rise bungalows, there were people standing in twos and threes, snuggling together under the light of the door.

Most of them were a family. A pair of adults with one or two children. Occasionally, a few children were alone and they looked at Marine with fear.

“Which one are you?” Basil looked at the tall man.

“I am an agent pushed out by this residence. I am usually the one to negotiate.”

The tall man smiled and said, “Marine, you see, we have always been so peaceful and no pirates will come. Your sudden action will make the people here afraid, so… I called everyone out. The reason why the door was not opened just now is also because of this.”

“Well…”

Basil nodded. “It seems that there is nothing wrong.”

“It’s like this, we are all poor people and there is nothing to investigate. Tomorrow, we still have to work hard for survival. Your house search can’t be delayed.” The tall man said with a smile.

“Why search us poor people, go search the rich!”

“Yes, search them!”

The two people next to him, who were also in rags, thought to themselves.

“Shut up!”

The tall man glared at them and then smiled at Basil. “Marine, look…”

Basil looked at the physique of the tall man and the people next to him, and then looked at the group of people who were also in ragged clothes but had thin bodies, and pondered.

But logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with it now.

At this time of the night, instead of searching for the rich people, he went to find the slaves or the gangs. Why did he bother the civilians?

Mr. Kuro would probably kill him if he knew.

But …

“I feel that something is wrong…”

Basil felt a little strange, but he didn’t know what was strange.

“Well…”

He looked at those people again and nodded. “Okay, pay more attention. If there are pirates or suspicious people, you must inform us in time. There are orders from above to investigate all suspicious people and prevent pirates from sneaking in.”

“Marine, don’t worry, we all know each other here, we have never seen any strangers.” When the tall man heard this, he bared his mouth.

“Then let’s go.”

Basil waved and turned to leave.

“Uh…”

At the same time that Basil turned around, a few children were standing at the door of a low bungalow, and one of them was about to speak.

But soon, in front of the low bungalow next to him, a man glared at him, opened his mouth and whispered, “Do you want to die, little devil?”

“Brother…”

A younger girl next to the child subconsciously hid behind him and shivered.

“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

The child quickly comforted her and closed his mouth.

His eyes gradually lost their luster.

Yeah …

What’s there to scream about?

In the past, his father once said that if something happened, he should shout. As long as he shouted, he would be heard and someone would help him.

But this principle did not work at all.

Ever since this group of people came, he had asked the outside world for help countless times and would go out and shout almost every day.

Marine had been here, but these people got the news and would hide at that time until Marine withdrew and they would appear again.

Every time, he was beaten up.

Then he was forced to beg and steal the next day. Every day, every day, it was repeated.

What is there to call …

This is good. They are still alive.

“Well…”

As soon as Basil stepped out of the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at the tall man.

The tall man’s smile was frightened by this turn and he quickly bowed and said: “Marine, what other orders do you have?”

“No…”

With a cigarette in his mouth, Basil looked at him for a long time and then glanced at the people behind him. “Forget it, I won’t disturb you anymore. Help yourselves.”

“Yes! Take care, Marine.” The tall man grinned.

They can live …

The child watched in a daze as the group of Marines gradually turned around and retreated from the gate, and the group of people was eager to close the gate.

Is it really just… alive?

“Call it out. If there is danger, asking for help is the best choice. If you keep it in your heart, no one will care about your thoughts.”

In his mind, his father’s smiling face echoed.

“But, Dad… If we fail, we will be finished, and our younger siblings will be finished,” the child murmured.

“Wuwu…”

A cry sounded beside him.

Outside the door of a building next door, a couple was snuggling together. The woman subconsciously leaned her head into the man’s arms and sobbed softly.

Those who were really thin and weak looked desperate, but under the glare of those strong people, they did not dare to speak.

“Sister, I…”

The child opened his mouth and watched the door gradually close.

“Brother, I’m afraid…” The little girl leaned closer to him.

The door gradually closed. The child clenched his fists and closed his eyes, remembering their resistance when these people first came.

His parents were gone, and those brave people were defeated.

He gradually stopped shouting.

No more help …

But maybe …

The child suddenly opened his eyes and roared the moment the door closed.

“Save us!!!”

Bang.

The door was closed.

The tall man widened his eyes and looked at the little boy who suddenly roared in shock. The air seemed to have stopped at this moment.

No sound was heard outside the closed door.

“Hey!”

The tall man clenched his fists and walked towards the little boy with a sinister smile. “Didn’t I say not to do meaningless things? Marines? Do you think those people will save you? They are just here to go through the motions. I think you want to be beaten again, little Geno!”

The child subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of his younger siblings, his eyes filled with deep despair.

As expected… Is it useless?

At least, exchange my life for these people’s venting.

Dad, I believed you again, but it turned out that your words were…

Bang!!!

The door was suddenly blasted open, wood shavings and wreckage flew out, sweeping up a cloud of dust.

An afterimage flashed through the smoke and dust and pressed on the tall man’s head, slamming him to the ground.

This time, the tall man was pressed into the ground and a pit was created. As his teeth flew, Basil slowly stood up and looked around coldly.

“I think something is wrong. Your physiques are not right. These people are all thin, and only the few of you are so strong. Can someone explain to me why?”
