Chapter 136: Evacuation
Chapter 136: Evacuation
Seeing this, Hades and Newgate smiled.
"We're withdrawing!"
They had long reached their limit.
The extremely high-intensity battle had every cell craving energy, leaving them utterly exhausted.
"How can I allow that!"
Black glared, unwilling to give Hades and Newgate a chance to escape.
However, Black was running out of time.
Before long, two figures arrived, blocking Hades and Newgate.
It was none other than "\"Savage\"" Cowens and "\"Bone Crusher\"" Anseldo.
Seeing this, Black could only stop.
It wasn't that the two newly arrived Pirates threatened him.
Rather, he noticed that many Pirates were already rushing towards them.
At this moment, he had lost the best opportunity to deal with Hades and Newgate.
In this situation, the fire in the warehouse was the main reason for his decision.
He needed to organize the remaining Marines to rescue the supplies as much as possible.
Every second delayed would result in losses of hundreds of millions of Beli.
The supplies on the front line would be short, greatly affecting the war situation.
The war was over, and the Pirates were gradually withdrawing, while the remaining Allied Forces members were simply unable to stop them.
Undoubtedly, this time they had lost.
Their action to block the Pirates had failed.
Not only were the losses heavy, but even the supplies in the warehouse were severely damaged.
Despite the efforts of numerous Allied Forces, only a quarter of the warehouse supplies were ultimately salvaged.
After undergoing a fierce great battle and then urgent rescue operations, the Allied Forces soldiers were all exhausted and collapsed on the ground.
Looking at the heavy losses and the dilapidated G42 Fortress, Black's mood remained unsettled for a long time.
Two CP0 Agents died in battle, and four Marine Vice Admirals were also lost.
Clenching his fists, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He had been defeated by two young Pirates just like that.
From any perspective, he was a failure and had failed the trust of numerous Marines and Army personnel.
If he could have dealt with Hades and Newgate half an hour earlier, the outcome of this war would have seen an astonishing reversal.
The death of the CP0 Agent and the death of the four Marine Vice Admirals all occurred within that time.
As the Pirate Fleet departed, the signal blocked by the Den Den Mushi Jammer was released.
The news that followed shocked him even more.
"How is that possible? That guy!"
Black was incredulous and finally noticed something he hadn't before.
That was that Hades' personal guard, "Glutton" Titan, had not appeared in this war.
G38 Fortress was destroyed, invaded by "Glutton" Titan, and the entire Navy Fortress was annihilated.
Also annihilated were several Navy Branches along the way, as well as the transport ships carrying supplies for G38 Fortress.
Because he was too focused on the threat of the Pirate Fleet to G42 Fortress, he hadn't expected that G38 Fortress, having lost the Army Admiral Candidate "\"Bamboo Python\"", would become a huge weakness.
Although the strength of the three Army Vice Admirals was strong, they couldn't stop "Glutton" Titan.
How could he have imagined?
Hades actually sent an important combat power to remotely attack G38 Fortress.
This was a complete failure; for him, it was even being played by the Pirates.
G38 Fortress, with rolling smoke and terrifying Glutton, wantonly plundered the life aura of numerous Army personnel.
The strongest three Army Vice Admirals had already become Titan's food, and the remaining people were the same.
Having devoured countless flesh and blood, Titan still maintained his most peak state.
Only when there was not a single trace of life aura left did Titan spread his wings and fly towards the direction indicated by the Vivre Card.
Even though Titan had left, the poison mist he released still lingered, corroding all the land and buildings.

On the Farazul, Hades and Newgate ate and digested food in large mouthfuls, replenishing their body's energy and quickly recovering their state.
Half a day of war time was enough for the Allied Forces on the front line to send reinforcements to G42 Fortress.
Yet they couldn't make it.
Because on the day this war broke out.
The major Pirate Fleets on the front line of the Rocks Pirates launched a fierce war in coordination with Hades and their actions.
This prevented them from being able to spare any combat power to support G42 Fortress.
Moreover, this fortress was personally guarded by Fleet Admiral Black, so how could it possibly fail?
They never imagined that G42 Fortress failed to truly block the Pirate Fleet, with over half of its supplies destroyed, and G38 Fortress was completely annihilated.
Titan carried a Den Den Mushi Jammer with him; this belonged to the Kronos Kingdom, not the Rocks Pirates.
Because of this, they couldn't get news of G38 Fortress's annihilation, nor did they know who the invader was.
They only learned that something had happened, and this intelligence came from a reconnaissance ship from a Navy Branch observing from afar.
Ultimately, it also couldn't escape the fate of death.
"Did Worthy die in battle? That's a bit of a shame."
Hades sat in the main seat, feeling somewhat emotional upon receiving the post-war losses statistics.
The Pirate Fleet's losses were close to half, but it wasn't considered large, and replenishing them wasn't difficult.
In this chaos-filled world, the least scarce thing was Pirates.
Furthermore, Hades didn't care about their sacrifices.
Just look at the pirates on the pirate ships preparing for a banquet, and you would know.
Compared to the joy of winning the war, the sacrifice of comrades was nothing.
Of course, there were Pirates who felt sad, but very few.
Some of these Pirates even began to divide the legacy of those who had already sacrificed themselves.
Pirate Crews that lost their captains disbanded or directly chose a new captain.
They would fight and kill each other to determine the strongest one.
The surrounding Pirates were still watching and cheering them on.
The banquet was still being held, and this scene felt somewhat incongruous.
However, this was the Rocks Pirates.
The atmosphere within even influenced the Affiliated Pirate Groups.
Even the Pluto Pirates lost a third of their personnel, roughly seven hundred people.
This also couldn't make Hades care.
The only thing that could stir his heart was probably the death of "\"Cobra\"" Woshi, killed in this war.
After all, he was one of the earliest Pirates to follow him, and a Cadre he personally invited.
But this was unavoidable; in war, it's either life or death, and Hades had long been mentally prepared.
In his heart, among the Pluto Pirates, the only ones he truly cared about were the Cadres and the Trainees sent from the Royal Military Academy.
As for the other ordinary Pirates, only the elite who had followed him for many years and were still alive could be considered his own people.
"Prepare to return."
Hades' order was given, and a cheer of excitement rang out throughout the entire Pirate Fleet.
The objective of this operation had been achieved.
Lasting over a month, they successfully destroyed three of the Allied Forces' warehouses and caused significant losses.
Having lost their supplies, even if the Allied Forces could replenish them later, they would be affected to a certain extent.
The supplies needed for hundreds of thousands of people; the Allied Forces' reserves in the New World couldn't last much longer now.
