Chapter 50 The Pentagon
Chapter 50 The Pentagon
Several cars were speeding down Rafa's main road. The shiny bodies of the cars created an eye-catching scene.
The city's traffic police had turned all the traffic signals on the main roads green. The red and blue flashing rods in their hands were quickly telling other cars on the road to move off the road. The policemen started moving other cars to make way for these cars.
Everyone in the city knew whose this convoy was. So everyone moved off the road as quickly as possible to let this convoy go first. The speed of this convoy was extraordinary. The cars were moving quickly in a single line.
It was Alberto's convoy.
Policemen on the street saluted as the cars raced past.
The vehicles headed toward a massive structure: the Pentagon, the empire's most powerful military establishment. The motorcade accelerated even more as it neared the Pentagon gates.
The soldiers on duty quickly recognized Alberto's convoy and raised the barricades.
As the vehicles entered the gate, the Pentagon gate security guards saluted the motorcade.
After the cars stopped, Alberto quickly got out of his car and started to go inside.
A man in a suit, a look of concern on his face, rushed towards Alberto. His breathing was shaky, his voice was restless, "Your Majesty, welcome. Everyone is already there. They are waiting for you."
Alberto doesn't look at him, just says with a cold expression and a stern tone, "Good, Let's go quickly!"
They continued to move forward quickly.

Marcus took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and handed one to Alberto. Alberto held the cigarette to his mouth and Marcus lit it with a lighter. Alberto took a deep breath and blew out the cloud of smoke.
There was a kind of tense atmosphere in the room. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Alberto. Everyone was worried and waiting for Alberto's next reaction.
"So what is the situation with this turtle now?"
"Several destroyers and submarines from the Navy were sent to the scene. This monster was more powerful than we thought. According to the report, a total of 22 torpedoes from the destroyers and submarines hit this monster directly. We believe it's seriously injured, but it may still be alive." The Navy Chief said.
"Also, Your Majesty, I have something else to show you," said the Minister of Defense.
Another picture appeared on the screen.
Here, various types of monsters were seen.
They also saw monsters that looked like sharks but were standing like humans.
"This photo was taken by the Navy," the Defence Minister explained.
Alberto exhaled another puff of smoke, his gaze fixed on the screen. "What are these creatures?"
Then the Navy Chief spoke up. "Your Majesty, I think the people we rescued can tell us more about this."
"Who did you rescue?" Alberto said.
"Your Majesty, according to reports, these monsters attacked some ships. We were able to rescue some of them. They should be arriving in port by this afternoon."
"Hmm, very good. Get them here as soon as they arrive," Alberto commanded, "We need to get all the information we can from them. I want to know their stories."
"And, Your Majesty," Elizabeth spoke up, "We have lost 16 naval personnel and a Gearing class Destroyer has been damaged."
"Hmm. Arrange for their funerals.
They will be given the proper honour for their bravery." Alberto said firmly.
"Also increase our security on the water, land, and air."
Everyone nodded, prepared to execute his orders.
