Chapter 351: Happy to Serve You

English Channel.

Two of the most advanced Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers were anchored near Portsmouth naval base.

Although they claimed to be for resupply, the two ships had no intention of entering the port, still squatting at the exit of the sea, staring fiercely at various types of ships entering and leaving Southampton and Portsmouth.

Being guarded by two guided-missile destroyers equipped with the Aegis system was naturally an extremely uncomfortable experience. Since more than half a month ago, many people had raised protests against this.

Among them, the most influential was Patrick Lincoln, the leader of the third-largest party, the Livelihood Party. In interviews with major media, he denounced the bullying behavior of the United States, saying that the United States was treating its allies with the Cold War thinking used against the Soviet Union, not treating its own people as people.

At the same time, he reiterated that Britain should not abandon its own interests for the sake of so-called "allies," and the British government should more strongly defend its own legitimate rights and interests, should strongly counter the "random sanctions" of the United States, and blind weakness and concession would only harm the interests of the people of the country.

However, the Livelihood Party was still in opposition. Although Patrick's voice had caused a relatively large response among the people, it had not been taken seriously by Parliament. Many people even began to put a red party hat on Patrick, intending to incite people's fear of the Livelihood Party.

"I never get tired of watching these British guys arguing every day," a naval lieutenant on the McCain said, watching the report on TV in the lounge. "Looking at their arrogant appearance, they always seem to think they are the number one power."

Just then, a soldier walked over. "Lieutenant Endel, our radar has discovered some strange signals. The commander wants you to come and take a look."

Arriving at the CIC Combat Information Center, Captain Zick was waiting for him. The electronic warfare officer pointed a wide-band scanning array radar signal to him. "About 200 kilometers away, in the northwest direction, there is an ultra-wideband interference signal source. It scanned our ships several times yesterday. The interference mode has not been identified yet, but the spectrum is extremely wide, and almost all channels have interference phenomena."

"Full-band interference?" Endel was startled. "What about the intensity?"

"The intensity is not very high and cannot cause actual damage, but if this signal source increases the interference intensity by about ten times, it could directly paralyze all our radars."

Endel glanced at the map on the table, only to see a red circle drawn around the area near Birmingham.

"The interference source is near Birmingham?"

"Yes," Captain Zick said. "This makes us very confused. Why are they building such a large interference source inland? For this thing to work, most of the electronic equipment in Britain would have to fail."

"Monitored?" Endel asked.

"Under monitoring, within two hundred kilometers, nothing bigger than a soccer ball can escape our eyes..."

Captain Zick said, but suddenly froze. "This... what is this?"

Only to see on a monitoring screen, a green light spot was approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The radar identifier quickly reported the target's speed: "Speed one hundred, two hundred, 1 Mach... 2 Mach... it's accelerating... size... about two meters... Miss, miss, missile!!!"

Everyone was startled, but Endel glanced at the infrared detection screen of the fire control radar on the other side. "No! No heat signal!"

If it were a missile, the high temperature of the propellant combustion would definitely be detected.

But just then, the signal disappeared.

The next instant, a blinding flash appeared outside the porthole, followed by a "boom."

Endel felt his heart skip a beat, almost thinking the ship had been hit by a missile.

However, there was no vibration, and the alarm didn't sound.

"What happened?" the commander asked.

"There, there is someone..." suddenly an officer pointed to the deck outside the window.

Endel turned his eyes and saw a man in a black robe standing up on the deck. He seemed to be able to perceive Endel's gaze, glanced at this side, and then the person suddenly disappeared.

"What?" Endel was stunned. "Where is the person?"

"What happened just now?" the commander asked the officer.

"After that flash, I saw him on the deck..." the officer had a ghostly expression. "He seemed to have appeared suddenly..."

"Parachuting?" This was the only possibility Endel could think of.

But why was there no reaction on the radar before?

Suddenly, a voice came from the ship's communication channel. "Alarm! Alarm! Someone broke in... there is... uh..."

"Legilimens!"

Endel was confused. Someone broke onto this ship that was still at sea all by himself?

SAS—British Special Air Service?

Besides that, he really couldn't think of what kind of person could do such a thing.

"Quick, report, we are under attack!" Captain Zick didn't hesitate and immediately gave the order. "All hands to battle stations!"

"All personnel! Battle stations!" The sound of the loudspeaker echoed throughout the ship, followed by a shrill alarm accompanied by red alarm lights, making everyone's heart jump into their throats.

Over two hundred soldiers on the ship loaded their weapons, but the alarm in the channel did not sound again.

"Send someone over to see what's going on!" the commander ordered.

Just then, the door to the information center was suddenly opened.

A soldier walked in. Endel was startled; he recognized this as a soldier responsible for deck hygiene, and he had no qualifications to enter here.

"How did you get in?!"

But the other party just smiled. "Sorry, gentlemen, borrowing your ship for a moment."

"What?!"

"Everyone, don't, move." The person spoke, his voice seeming to carry some terrible magic, echoing in the narrow command cabin, making Endel's action of drawing his gun stop halfway.

Next, he saw with wide eyes that over a dozen crows suddenly flew out from behind the man, and the next second, over a dozen figures in black robes appeared in the command cabin accompanied by lightning.

"Control them." The young man said.

A black-robed person came to the commander's side and took out a small wooden stick. "Imperio!"

Others also cast spells on other people in the command room. Finally, the young man in black came to Endel. "Your mental resistance is very good; I'd better do it myself."

As the other party said this, he pressed a finger on his forehead, and immediately, he felt a kind of incredible joy, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Happy to serve you, sir."

Before sinking completely, he heard himself say.
