Chapter 624
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
Do You Think Iâm A Minotaur?!
After paying his respects, Kuro returned with his men and went straight to Base 153.
This place naturally cannot accommodate 3,000 people.
The plow simply let go of the outside and let the fortress and the town become the home ground of the welcome banquet. The 3,000 Dougreg Marine Brigade, part of it entered the fortress and part of it began the banquet in the open-air square and street of the town.
Kuro and the others naturally entered the home ground of the fortress.
At the long table, Kuro sat in the main seat, his subordinates lined up in turn, and Lippa sat at the end. He clapped his hands and said, âLetâs begin.â
Soon, Marines came up with food and put it on the table.
Well, first put a bowl of salad on each of themâ¦
Kuro looked at the salad in front of him and moved his chopsticks. âItâs not bad to eat vegetarian food first. Itâs good for the stomach.â
No one objected to this.
Itâs not like they donât eat vegetables.
After the salad, the Marines served several plates of cucumber.
âWell⦠cucumber, light, you can eat some appetizers first.â Kuro picked up his chopsticks.
Marine brought food again, which was also a few plates of green vegetables.
Then, green vegetables â¦
Green vegetables â¦
Green â¦
Green â¦
âYou think Iâm a Tauren, Lippa!â
The blue veins on Kuroâs forehead were exposed. He lifted the food on the table and roared at him, âOr do you want me to be a Kappa?! Whereâs the meat! The meat! If you donât eat it, you canât make me not eat it!â
âVice Admiral Kuro.â
There was no anger on Lippaâs face. He continued to smile and said, âYou should be patient and taste it carefully. Soon you will feel the gentleness of nature and the gift of the earth. You donât have to kill or plunder. You just need to get the gift of nature and you will be full. This way of life is the kindest.â
âWhat a joke! I am a human, I am an omnivore!â
Kuro pointed at Lippa and said, âYou exist here because our ancestors conquered this world step by step. There is no lack of killing and plundering in between. Look at the ugliness of human beings, Lippa. Also, you were not like this before. What is going on!â
âI just think that people should be like this.â
Lipa stood up and looked at Kuro without fear. âKindness, gentleness, accepting the grace of nature, respect for life, no more killing, no more plundering. I finally understand, Kuro, only in this way can we be human.â
âAnd youâ¦â
Lippa pointed at Kuro and said, âEven if you are already a Vice-Admiral and are called âGolden Lionâ, you cannot deny that you are a bloody executioner!â
These words silenced the surrounding people.
Everyoneâs eyes were filled with disbelief.
Is this a plow?
This is Marine?
Marines accuse Marine Hands of being bloody?!
âYou said it so well!â
Kuro gritted his teeth and said, âSince you used to be my superior, I wonât argue with you.â
He took a deep breath and glared at Li Pan before turning around and preparing to leave.
This person who used to take care of him has become like this. Then, he is not suitable to stay in the Marine anymoreâ¦
âThatâs not true!â
Just as Kuro was about to go back and write a small note to snitch, Kazâs voice suddenly sounded.
He stood up and pointed at Lippa and said righteously, âItâs not like that! Everything Mr. Kuro does is for justice!!â
âWhat justice! Isnât it just killing people? True justice will not wantonly deprive people of their lives!â Lippa shouted.
âNo!â
Kaz stood in front of Lippa and stared at him with his big solemn eyes. âJustice must have sacrifices! There are too many pirates on the sea. Those pirates, those evil ones, make the civilians unable to live a stable life. Every day, they are afraid of being killed by pirates, afraid of being plundered by pirates. The results of hard work are not as good as a pirate coming ashore.â
âIf Marine doesnât kill them, then they will never be able to contain such a situation. Some pirates canât be caught because it is harder to catch them than to kill them. Our energy is limited. The sea is too big and Marine is too small. Between civilians and our own choice, of course we choose civilians!â
Kaz shouted: âWho likes to kill? No one likes to kill! But to protect civilians, to exercise justice! We hang our souls under justice and let justice judge what we do! Look, the peace in Sheltz today is the result of the long-term justice of our Marine! You canât even deal with pirates, how can you do justice, how can you live up to the cloak behind you, and the civilians behind the cloak who trust you and support you!â
As he spoke, a white gas rose from his body and rushed towards Lippa.
Like a gust of wind, Lippaâs cloak and hat were blown away and the hat fell to the ground, revealing his hair.
His eyes widened and he suddenly bent his back and covered his head with his hands. âI, Iâ¦â
In the white gas, Lippaâs eyes showed a little strangeness.
Those eyes were filled with gentleness, but they were also abnormally numb.
It was as if everything was gone except for gentleness.
But at this moment, there was a little more complexity in his numb eyes, about human nature.
âColonel Lippa! You are a righteous Marine! Not a vegetarian Buddha!!â Kaz added, and white gas emerged from his body again and hit another wave of Lippa.
Lippaâs eyes gradually became clear.
He knelt on the ground and panted heavily, cold sweat flowing down his face. âI, what happened to meâ¦â
âYes?â
Kuro turned around and raised his eyebrows. âWhat happened? Lippa?â
Even a fool could tell that something was different.
This guy⦠doesnât seem right.
âKuro!â
Li Pa stood up as if he had seen Kuro again and said in surprise, âSo itâs Kuro!â
âDonât think that this matter is over just because you just saw me. You just called me an executioner, I hold a grudge.â
That being said, Kuro sat back in his chair. âWhatâs the situation?â
âI donât knowâ¦â
Lippa shook his head and stood there for a while before saying:
âA year ago, after I heard the news, there seemed to be pirates around. I brought people to take a look, and then I met a man in a black robe. After meeting him, I felt that life should be kind and not killâ¦â
With that, he slammed his fist on the ground. âDamn it, why would I think that? I am Marine, of course I am kind, but to pirates, I should not be like this!â
âAbility?â
Kuro narrowed his eyes. âYou met a metahuman?â
There is no one else who can change a personâs temperament except the metahuman.
As for curses, legends, and whatnot, he did not believe a single word.
However, the ability to make people become vegetarian and chant Buddha is a little strange, like Old Lady Craneâs âWash-Wash Fruitâ.
