Chapter 226: One Step Late

"What did you say?"

Yoloy frowned and stared at Henry in front of him, but he didn't know what kind of bad water was flowing in his stomach.

As governor of the waterway on the company's side.

There was no need for Henry to be an enemy of the company.

Is it finally his turn to experience this feeling of being beyond his own intelligence control?

Henry seemed to see the doubts of Yuloy and other military lords.

"I know far more about the company than you do."

That being said, he had no intention of explaining further.

"Enjoy your time."

"At least at this moment, you don't have to worry about being hunted down by the most powerful governor on the sea."

"I will use my actions to prove the truth of my words."

After Henry said that, the Meteor distanced itself from the Phoenix and headed in the other direction of the channel.

There is the junction point of the Second Channel and the Seventh Channel.

Henry's target is the company's headquarters, the sea fortress that suppresses the entire sea.

It is precisely because of understanding the company's methods.

Henry can fully imagine what will be waiting for him after he abandons the fleet and escapes this time.

He is not a man who likes to sit still.

Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to strike first.

Henry stroked his beard, his thoughts already spreading.

Now that he is still the governor of the company, this may be his last chance to enter the maritime fortress in an open and honest manner.

"Is the Meteor really gone?"

When Henry disappeared on the sea level, several members of the special operations force were still in disbelief.

Because they left earlier.

It's not clear what happened on the battlefield just now, so that Henry's attitude changed like this.

Some people even raised their heads and looked at the sky vigilantly, fearing that a large number of shells would fall and sink the Phoenix to the bottom of the sea.

On the contrary, it was Mike who looked at Henry's back and frowned deeply.

"Hasn't the most powerful governor on this sea always been this general?"

"What the hell is he talking about?"

...

The Seventh Channel, inside the Pan-Ocean Free Trade Company's maritime fortress.

A group of people sat on both sides of the rectangular table, whispering to each other.

They are the company's board of directors and the wealthiest people in the ocean.

In the past, when the lords of various races had not yet emerged, there was no force that could question the resolution of the company's board of directors.

"It's been so long and there's still no news from Henry?"

One director frowned and said.

"We gave him the power to dispatch a full five thousand warships, not to make him a dumb man who can't speak!"

Although based on information.

They didn't feel Henry was at risk of failure.

But Henry's disappearance for a long time apparently still caused dissatisfaction on the board of directors.

Just then.

There was a sudden knock on the conference room door.

A civilian's voice came from outside the door.

"Dear directors, Governor Henry's Meteor has docked outside Panshi Pass and is requesting permission to enter."

The chatter among the directors in the conference room fell silent instantly.

They looked at each other in confusion.

Does this count as saying Henry, Henry is here?

"Just let him in."

Although the timing of Henry's arrival is a bit strange.

But the permission to allow the Meteor to enter was quickly issued by the board of directors.

The three strait dams of the sea fortress are named Panshiguan, Anshanguan and Yongleguan respectively.

The walls of the three levels are higher than the last, the firepower deployed is also increasing, and the defense is even more impregnable.

Among them, Yongle Pass, the strongest one, is an example. The thickness of the embankment even exceeds 100 meters, and some small vehicles are enough to move on the top of the embankment.

Such a majestic building naturally gives the company's top executives the confidence to work with peace of mind.

Serves as the general administrative organ of the company.

This maritime fortress has never been breached by any force so far.

The board of directors also had a hard time imagining what kind of ship would dare to challenge such a magnificent building.

After issuing the order to release the Meteor.

Several members of the board of directors looked at each other, then stood up and walked out of the corridor one after another.

They were ready to meet Henry.

Anyway, Henry will only bring two kinds of news: success or failure.

If successful, the company can certainly afford any reward.

But if it fails.

If the company's trust is betrayed, the commander-in-chief of the Meteor will have to be replaced.

However, as several directors walked down the aisle, their respective henchmen came to greet them.

At the same time, there was also bad news coming from the front line.

"You mean, Henry escaped without giving any instructions to retreat?"

Some directors stared at their confidants suspiciously.

The news the other party received came from the captains of other warships on the front line.

Due to the underdeveloped maritime information transmission.

It took a very long time for the information to be sent to the company's administrative headquarters, barely before Henry returned.

But this kind of thing doesn't sound like something that Henry, who is piloting a miracle ship, can do.

Is this necessary?

Five thousand warships, plus a miracle ship, and even two foreign races were united.

Henry has absolutely no reason to retreat!

"Could it be that the two foreigners tore up the treaty and plotted against us?"

Thinking of this, the director who hated foreigners looked gloomy.

However, after hearing this, the confidant coughed awkwardly twice.

"Ahem, in fact, according to the intelligence from the front line, strictly speaking, it was us who abandoned them."

"According to those captains, their enemy is an island."

"An island?" The director's face became more and more strange.

Who sent back this battle report?

Whether there is an island in that sea area, didn't the board of directors know when arranging the war?

Even the mumbling of a three-year-old child in his sleep is much more credible than this joke.

However, several directors still narrowed their eyes.

Believe in something that is not worth believing, sometimes it does not completely mean stupidity.

A director stopped a staff member passing by in the corridor and asked a question.

"Did Governor Henry report any results or intelligence to us along the way?"

The staff member first stood in front of the director trembling.

After hearing the question being asked to him, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, Governor Henry has not passed on any information to us except for applying for access to the sea fortress."

Hearing this, several directors felt nervous.

"Where is he now?"

The staff member thought for a while before answering: "Probably just passed the Rock Pass."

Is that the first dike?

"Pass the order of the board of directors, all entrances and exits of the dike are closed, and Governor Henry is not allowed to enter or leave. If he breaks in by force, he is allowed to attack!"
