Chapter 509

Without any warning…

Boom-boom-boom!

A crisp, pleasant knocking sound rang out.

"En?"

"Who's here?"

Lu En felt a flicker of surprise and confusion.

Instantly,

he stepped to the door.

Creak!

He opened the gate,

and then,

he saw a Navy Colonel standing at the threshold, clad in the Navy's righteous greatcoat, slender build, sharp facial features, with a faint aura of authority.

Yet…

Upon seeing Lu En at the door, the Navy Colonel immediately suppressed his aura and his expression turned deeply respectful.

His eyes brimming with admiration, he bowed deeply and said: "General Lu En, the Admiral has ordered you to prepare; tomorrow, you will sail with Vice Admiral He."

He of course knew.

The Lu En before him was the youngest Rear Admiral in Navy history!

Also the most terrifying genius in centuries of Navy service!

And a monster whose combat power rivaled that of a Vice Admiral!

Facing such a prodigy, this Navy Colonel naturally dared not neglect or underestimate him.

Even more so,

he dared not meet Lu En's gaze, keeping his head bowed the entire time.

"Accompany Vice Admiral He on a mission?"

"After three days, has the mission finally come?"

Lu En understood.

He was not surprised by the arrival of the mission.

Several days ago, the moment he was appointed Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters,

he had already prepared himself mentally for immediate deployment.

Having just been promoted by special decree to Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, it was only natural he would receive orders to sail on missions.

This was unavoidable for anyone.

Every trainee who graduated from the camp period just now must have already received their own assignments.

After all,

the Navy does not harbor idle hands.

The camp period lasted a full year and a half, training over seventy elite Navy personnel—there was no way to waste such strength.

Moreover,

the year-and-a-half intensive training had already granted these Navy personnel ample rest.

Over the past year and a half,

as trainees, they had been barred from any operational missions.

Now,

since these trainees have all graduated in succession,

then,

it was time for them to begin contributing to the Navy.

"Yet…"

"My mission is to sail with Vice Admiral He?"

"Not a solo mission?"

Lu En's expression turned peculiar, clearly surprised.

A mission requiring him to sail with Vice Admiral He…

seemed anything but simple.

Vice Admiral He was a top-tier elder of the Navy!

A contemporary of Captain Kapu and Admiral Sengoku.

A mission requiring her personal involvement could never be simple.

"Do you know what task the Admiral assigned me?"

Lu En asked the Navy Colonel before him.

"To invite the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

The Navy Colonel answered truthfully.
