Without Ivan's orders, Gary shouted and led the sailors, drew their muskets and swarmed forward, surrounding Lion Head and all his subordinates.

Although it seems that most of them are unaware of the hidden secrets, they are at least accomplices, but they cannot be simply let go. Even the crew members on the merchant ships were ordered to disembark and undergo inspection.

"Hold your head and squat down!"

Ivan knew that the seriousness of the matter was now beyond his ability to handle, and immediately sent his sailors to report to Geer.

Ivan himself walked up to the lion's head, looked at him for a while, and his extraordinary aura was slightly released: "Tell me, who are you? What is the purpose of doing these things?"

The lion's head froze, shocked by the extraordinary coercion on Ivan, as if he was being targeted by a large predator in the mountains. He didn't dare to move, and the last thoughts of resistance in his heart melted like ice and snow.

"No, don't kill me, I'm just following orders!"

Not long after, a large, dark crowd rushed over from the direction of the island.

Not only Geer who received the notice, but also the two major admirals from the First and Second Fleets who came here, led by Lieutenant General Snart, the top officer of the Third Fleet here, and all the navies on this island.

All the senior military officers have arrived!

Actually.

In addition to the officers and captains on duty every day, most of the senior officers participating in the celebration lived together in the hotel. When Geer received the report and reported the situation to Lieutenant General Snart, other officers were also on the scene.

Everyone couldn't sit still when they heard that someone was planning a bombing attack on the celebration day.

Can you sit still?!

You must know that if there are serious casualties in such a large-scale celebration of the kingdom, not to mention the possibility of being held accountable and dismissed, at least it will be a major stain on your future career.

Not only the chief officers, but also all the people present can't escape!

When they arrived at the dock in a hurry, the interrogation was already over. This seemingly mighty lion-headed man was actually not a tough guy. After a few threats, he said everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

"Well done Captain!"

Facing the friendly eyes of a group of senior officers, Irvine handed the interrogation record to Lieutenant General Snart. The three fleets may have different strengths but no affiliation. In this case, it is natural for the Lieutenant General with the highest military rank to make the decision.

.

What surprised Ivan was that he actually saw a serious "Zorro" in military uniform in the crowd. He couldn't hide at this time, so he could only pretend to be nonchalant, hand in his confession, and accept the Lieutenant General's praise and encouragement.

After that, he stepped aside.

Little did he know that the two of them had already seen each other, and it was Mr. Zorro who reminded him.

After seeing the dust settle, "Zorro", who anticipated possible developments in the future, ran back to the hotel to change clothes, and then followed the large troops and ran over to watch the excitement.

Lion Head's confession was circulated among the officers, but all of them frowned a little, simply because there was really not much of value in the confession, and it could be said that nothing was gained.

The main criminal, Lion Head, is just a small leader of a black force called the "Blood Hand Gang". He accepted anonymous employment from others and made some decorations at the celebration venue according to their requirements. Who is the hirer? What is his motive? 1

I don’t know if I ask three questions

The task he received was just to take apart these fireworks bombs, recharge them, and then disguise them as normal fireworks and send them to the celebration. He didn't even know the effect of lighting the fireworks bombs in the end.

The confessions of his deputies were similar, but a little more numerous than those of Lion Head. In fact, these people only took on private jobs and borrowed the name of the Bloody Hand Gang. Even the upper echelons of the gang did not know about this matter.

"Your Majesty General, it really is none of our business."

To put it simply, these two guys are just tool people and know nothing except being responsible for execution.

Ivan and the officers also believed this, because after several gunners on the battleship who arrived later checked the gunpowder, they agreed that this should be the handiwork of a master alchemist!

The energy released instantly by the prepared gunpowder is not as good as the original version, but the sparks after the explosion are extremely lethal. If it falls concentratedly on the celebrating crowd, the consequences will be disastrous.

When used properly, it is more lethal than military gunpowder of the same weight, because the most terrifying thing about it is that the subsequent burn injuries will be very painful.

However, this new type of gunpowder is extremely unstable and can only be temporarily prepared during use. Therefore, dividing the fireworks into two types is not only to prevent inspections, but also a practical need.

The most vicious thing is that after the fireworks are set off, the first to suffer misfortune are those who set off the fireworks directly below the explosion range. The anonymous hirers did not consider the lives of these guys at all.

What's more, black organizations like the "Bloody Hands Gang" are all money-hungry guys, and they won't care who their employees are if they are paid enough.

Moreover, there is a big difference between this kind of gang force and pirates. Pirates have nowhere to hide in the sea, but they must rely on the civilized world to survive. It is okay to fight in the gray area, but this kind of blatant and official kingdom

You will never dare to do anything wrong.

Therefore, the possibility that their superiors have contact with the employer is very low.

But in this way, the clues have been completely cut off. Apart from harvesting a bunch of abandoned people, the fundamental problem has not been solved. As long as the mastermind behind the scenes wants to, a new attack can be brewed at any time.

The group fell into silence.

At this time.

Ai Wen did not hide the fact that he discovered the problem after being reminded by others. He also handed over two crossbow arrows, saying that he might be able to learn something from the reminder.

Lieutenant General Snart glanced at his son vaguely as he took the crossbow bolt.

"Let's look for this friend. Since he can discover hidden attackers, he might be able to help us a lot in the future, and he might also know more inside stories." An officer from the First Fleet suggested beside him.

"Second the proposal! No clues should be let go."

"Second! The island is so big, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone."

"No, he didn't show up. He obviously didn't want to have direct contact with the Navy, and exposing him would easily lead to revenge from the black hands. We are the Navy, not unscrupulous pirates." This proposal was directly rejected by Lieutenant General Snart.

Others thought that what the lieutenant general said was very reasonable, so they did not mention it again.

In the end, there was no clue after discussion, so the Vice Admiral could only order that all the navy be assigned to security positions to increase the security level of the celebration to ensure that there would be no accidents during the seven-day celebration.

Then.

Send some young people in casual clothes to blend in with the crowd to grasp the movements of people on the island in advance and pay attention to people with strange movements. At the same time, arrange for messenger terns that can fly long distances to report the situation to the naval headquarters and wait for instructions.
