One Piece: I Am Really Not Crocodile

Work in the Wallos Fortress, the inner and outer city areas has been stopped, and the refugees have gained a breathing room, and this is already the second day, and they have not done high-intensity labor for two days, and they also gathered together leisurely.

They also heard that Valos Barrier has changed the leader, and the two-day vacation is an order from above. The vacation is a vacation, but the low salary can still be taken.

"I heard that His Majesty the King has assembled an army in the capital to attack Valos at any time." A refugee seemed very worried, because once the war broke out, these refugees had almost no resistance.

"Just fight. It would be better if all the nobles kill each other and kill each other." A strong man sat on the ground and said indifferently. Even if there was no war, their life would not be much better.

Among his friends who came from the same hometown as him, there were forty or fifty people, and more than half of them died due to intensive labor.

"But this princess seems to be a little different. Why did you give us a holiday and don't have to do anything? Shouldn't the defense of the barrier be strengthened at this time?" A refugee was a little puzzled.

"I don't know. I heard that she used to be the daughter of the president of the AKS Chamber of Commerce. When the president of the AKS Chamber of Commerce was here, our life was barely getting by. It's a pity that such a good person." An old refugee Said that it is not easy to be able to live with an old body and focus until now.

"How is everyone's contact?" These people were all gathered in a dilapidated house, and the strong man suddenly asked.

"In the past five years, we have secretly contacted most of the refugees. They are all reliable people, but we have no weapons, and there are thousands of city defense troops. If the timing is not right, our entire army may be wiped out." A shrewd and thin man The person said thoughtfully.

They come together to rebel, and over-repression sometimes breeds resistance.

"There is a very good opportunity right now. Tomorrow is the day when all the barriers are unblocked. Princess Xia will hold a city-wide meeting. As long as we control the nobles, we can get a lot of weapons. Compared with the city defense army, Nobles are sometimes easier to deal with." The strong man Sparks had a fierce look in his eyes.

He could have left alone, and he had the strength to do so, but he didn't want to, he couldn't look at these people in front of him, he had seen enough of the slow death under oppression.

Ever since he got a devil fruit by accident, he decided to use this power to change everything.

For five years, they have been waiting for an opportunity. Now that the Duke of Valos is dead, the people in the fortress are in turmoil, and the external king's crusade army is about to arrive. The defensive forces are concentrated on the city wall. On the contrary, the defense inside the city is much looser. This is a once-in-a-lifetime, waiting for a long time good chance.

"Then start preparing now?"

"Well, it's rare to have time for us to rest, but it shouldn't be wasted. It's time for these nobles to pay for their actions." Sparks said coldly...

At the city defense, Vic stood on the city wall, watching the listless refugees gathered together below, and couldn't help frowning. What was Xia thinking? Doesn't the merchant's daughter have any leadership skills at all?

Let the workers rest at this time? Building one more moat and strengthening part of the city wall defense is the most important thing to do at present.

There has been news that, except for the Valos fortress, the other two fortresses have been persuaded to surrender, and now they are alone in the Valos fortress.

Thinking about it, the crusade army, as far as the news has come, has gathered 80,000 soldiers. The general barrier, how dare it really resist.

If the Duke of Valos is still alive, it is possible.

But the Duke of Valos died, and the leaders of other strongholds had to find another way out. Unlike him, who participated in the death of the king's envoy, and was the main stronghold that was crusaded, he had no choice at all.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good. He even asked Princess Xia to gather the refugees into a group and send them to the city wall, but he was rejected.

"What will happen next?" Vic really didn't want to sit still.

So he kept his hands back. If something really couldn't be done, he would break out and escape with his bodyguards and wealth. Even if he became a wanted object, it would be better than death.

But as a last resort, Vic does not want to give up the rights he has acquired. Maybe the crusade army can't break through the Wallos barrier at all, so he will still be the top of the power, and wait until he completely controls the army.

Princess Xia and others might be able to use a large number of troops to clean up in one fell swoop, so that he will become the only person in charge of the Valos barrier.

"The Duke of Valos is dead, but the barrier is blocked, we can't get out, and the crazy woman Xia even provoked His Majesty the King. If the King is angry and massacres the city, we will not survive at all."

"Yeah, what now? The war is about to break out."

"I heard that the nobles are under control, and I don't know what Princess Xia wants to do. If she wants revenge, she can take revenge herself. Why drag us into the water."

The residents of the inner city are also panic-stricken. They don't have much recognition for the rule of the Duke of Valos. Besides, people die when they die. Why should they suffer along with others? Just because Shia is his only granddaughter?

Gaocheng District.

"Bastard, I'm the viscount appointed by the king. How dare you put me under house arrest? Don't you want to live anymore?" In a luxurious mansion, a nobleman yelled at several soldiers at the door.

Because it was blocked, they only knew that the Duke of Valos was dead, and they didn't know any extra news.

"There are a few so-called Lord Earls lying on the street outside. Do you want to go and have a look? There are more than 500 powerful private soldiers. I think the corpses have not been removed. You want to be neighbors with them?" A squad leader looked at the noble in front of him indifferently.

Since Dingle told them the truth, the soldiers of the former duke's mansion no longer yearned for nobles, but hated them. If someone tried to resist, they would not be relentless and would clean them up.

Hearing what the soldier said, the nobleman was immediately speechless, not daring to say a word, and returned to the house in despair.

"The situation in the city is very unstable. The king's crusade army has assembled and is on the way. It will take about two days to reach the wall of Valos. The other two walls have already surrendered." Dingle Tell Shia and others about the collected information.

They are living in a mansion in Gaocheng at the moment. They are nobles who are very knowledgeable about current affairs. They opened the door to welcome Princess Xia, and of course, they also wanted to save their lives.

But Rosen didn't care about these.

"How many troops are there?" Although Rosen was a little surprised, it was expected. At the beginning, this was not an easy task, but now that the soldiers from Landis have not arrived, he cannot leave the Wallos barrier for the time being. .

Otherwise, troubles may arise.

"80,000." Dingle reported a number, his face didn't change much, he put life and death aside.

"Fighting alone, it seems that it's time to increase allies..." Rosen pondered, and the phone rang suddenly.

At the Valos barrier, the communication restrictions are of course in the hands of Rosen and others, and Hathaway is calling.

Gaga, the phone bug was connected, and Hathaway's voice came out: "I was discovered, but Raymond didn't attack me, but the crusade army will pass by here, there are a lot of them, do you need me to intercept it? "

Xi Ya, Dingle and the others were stunned for a moment. This woman wanted to stop an army by herself? ! Just kidding.

"No, we can't get involved too much. We won't be suspected if we show our faces once in a while, but if the number of times is too high, it will enter the eyes of the world government. Moreover, I need them to come. The war must start to be meaningful. .” Rosen refused.

"Okay, that's right, Alice personally led the team. Their merchant ship has arrived in the paradise and is about to land on the territory of the Kingdom of Andia. You can ask the people from the Chamber of Commerce to help."

"So fast?!" Rosen was a little surprised, this came much faster than expected.
