MTL - Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!-Chapter 4 Siege, march!
Deserts are dangerous, especially the deserted deserts of Alabasta.
During the day, not only the scorching sun and high temperature are waiting for pedestrians, but also the beasts hiding under the gravel!
Even the king's army, if you want to advance in the desert, you have to work hard.
A little carelessness will pay a heavy price!
In order to stabilize the siege situation of the oasis station Santana as soon as possible, King Cobra chose to lead the king's army across the desert.
This was supposed to be a dangerous journey, but it was changed by an unexpected person.
…
In the endless desert.
An army is advancing mightily.
The composition of this army is very special.
On the periphery, is a defensive array composed of 10,000 gravel soldiers.
In the inner circle, there were more than a thousand soldiers of the king who should have been waiting in battle.
Due to the presence of the gravel soldiers, the king's army was rarely relaxed.
Those gravel soldiers exuded an inexplicable aura, which made the surrounding beasts calm down quite a bit, daring not to act rashly.
This is also the reason why Rowan summoned the gravel soldiers in advance.
In the king's army, Bell and Gaka lead the way, with Rowan, Cobra, Vivi, and Crocodile behind.
Like the king's army, they all marched on foot.
Cobra and Vivi are willing to share weal and woe with the king's army.
And Rowan and Crocodile, who are rustling fruit people, are more comfortable walking in the desert.
As for why Crocodile was able to walk by the royal family's side.
Cobra didn't care much about red tape, and Crocodile was a hero in this country, so naturally he acquiesced.
Feeling the breath of the gravel soldier, Crocodile frowned.
It is the domineering look of a king.
Massive, special, and outrageously detailed domineering domineering!
While deterring the surrounding beasts, it will not cause large-scale killings.
The beasts lowered their heads one after another, not so much fear, but surrender!
After the army passed, the beasts could recover immediately and continue their lives.
…
"There is such a monster hidden in Alabasta..."
Crocodile murmured, his eyes moving slightly.
Rowan noticed Crocodile's gaze, but didn't care.
At the moment, he is talking to Cobra, learning about what happened after his death.
Ryan Rowan was killed in 719 CE, and the world government was established by 20 kings in 720 CE.
In other words, he fell on the eve of the establishment of the world government.
After his death, because he had no relationship with his descendants, according to Rowan's personal arrangement, his close friend Neferutali took over the Alabasta Empire.
However, without Rowan, the strength of the Alabasta Empire can only be regarded as the first line of countries, not the top.
In the same year, due to the pressure exerted by the other nineteen nations, Neferutari was forced to change the empire into a kingdom and participate in the establishment of the world government.
However, he refused the opportunity to settle in the Holy Land Mary Joa and become a Heavenly Dragon, and chose to stay in Alabasta.
After that, Neferutari took her own name as her surname and established the Neferutari family that has been passed down to this day.
Neferutali Cobra, the twelfth king of Alabasta!
…
After listening to Cobra's story, Rowan's performance was unexpected.
Cobra originally thought that the emperor of the empire 800 years ago would be furious, thinking that Neferutari wasted the foundation he laid down, but Rowan obviously didn't think so.
He couldn't help clapping his hands and laughed.
"Sure enough, it's Neferutari's style!"
Cobra was taken aback, "Master Ancestor, are you not angry?"
"Angry? Why are you angry?"
Rowan stretched out his hand.
The gravel rose from the ground, as if it had life, flowing slowly at his fingertips.
"It's a difference of ideas, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong."
"My idea created the former Alabasta Empire; and Neferutali's idea made the Alabasta kingdom continue to this day."
Rowan pinched a grain of sand with his fingertips and looked into the distance.
"I can feel that although there are many difficulties, this is indeed a very good country, and you have done a great job."
Cobra smiled and nodded with a very relieved expression.
On the other hand, Weiwei on the side seemed a little unconvinced.
"Of course, my father is a very powerful king!"
Hearing this, Luo Wen smiled, picked Weiwei up, supported her with one hand, and let her sit on his shoulder.
Rowan's height is slightly higher than Crocodile, about 2.8 meters, so Weiwei can see quite good scenery.
Her eyes crossed the dunes and pointed ahead.
"Master Ancestor, I can see Shantana!"
Everyone came to the top of the hill and looked down at the oasis station occupied by the rebel army.
The centurion of the King's Army, who was in charge of the garrison, came to report.
Cobra waved his hand and ordered, "All troops prepare for war!"
But Rowan reached out his hand to stop him, "No need, let the king's army lift the defense, and leave the rest to me."
The centurion who just arrived didn't know this strangely dressed man, so he couldn't help but find it funny.
"This gentleman, there are thousands of people in the chaotic army. Even Mr. Sand Crocodile can't guarantee that he won't let a fish slip through the net, right?"
Once a small group of chaotic troops escaped and entered other cities, civilian casualties would inevitably be caused, which was one of the reasons why the King's Army did not choose to attack by force.
But Rowan shook his head.
"I'm not alone."
He held Vivi on his shoulder with one hand, and raised his scepter with the other, pointing at Shantana.
Under the astonished gaze of the centurion, an army of 10,000 gravel soldiers marched forward from behind the dunes.
Click! click! click...
Gravel collided with gravel, forming "footsteps".
Their movements were uniform to the extreme, and they approached Shantana little by little.
Rowan smiled lightly and asked the little princess on his shoulder:
"Vivi, do you know which direction the capital of Alabasta is?"
"Know."
Vivi nodded, pointed her finger forward, and passed Shantana, "It's over there!"
The capital of Alabasta, Albana.
There is a palace with a long history, built as early as 4,000 years ago.
There are countless secrets about this palace.
Rowan also lived there for a long time.
"I miss it a bit, I want to go back and have a look."
Rowan sighed inexplicably and turned his attention to Shantana.
There, the rebels are panicking at the sudden appearance of an army of gritty soldiers!
With the scepter and pestle on the ground, the marching speed of the gravel soldiers further accelerated.
Until - Charge!
"So, you guys..."
Rowan raised his head, swung his scepter horizontally, and the gravel roared.
The unmistakable voice echoed in everyone's ears—
"Don't stand in front of the emperor!"
…
The chaotic army who occupied the oasis station had already begun to panic at this moment.
They didn't know what happened. They only saw the King's army withdraw, and then the gravel soldiers suddenly appeared and charged Shantana!
After a brief panic, they reluctantly regrouped.
The rebels chose to occupy this place for a reason.
As an oasis station, Shantana is the main traffic artery of Alabasta's domestic trade routes.
Sufficient supplies, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The King's Army did not dare to destroy this inn, and this gave them enough leverage to negotiate.
They wanted King Cobra to support their great "revolutionary" cause, or at the very least, Alabasta to shelter them from their neighbors.
Those who failed to launch the rebellion could no longer consider the success rate of the plan, and could only be a living horse doctor.
But now, a strange army suddenly appeared and charged them!
"Shoot, shoot!"
The leader of the chaotic army hurriedly commanded.
The musket team stepped forward, occupied the only traffic lane, and then pulled the trigger.
boom! boom! boom! boom…
The lead bullet shot out and hit the gravel soldiers who were charging in front, but the bullet directly penetrated their bodies.
"Nature?!"
The leader of the chaotic army has some knowledge, so it is even more unbelievable.
He knew that the Shichibukai [Sand Crocodile] might be in this country, but he had never heard that the [Sand Crocodile] could summon these thousands of gravel army!
The gravel spear pierced the shield, and the first line of defense collapsed instantly!
The leader of the chaotic army looked at the group of gravel soldiers desperately, and fell to his knees, his mouth opened and closed.
"What the **** is this!"
…
on the sand dunes.
Crocodile looked down at the battlefield and narrowed his eyes.
In his eyes, the gravel soldiers are being manipulated by Rowan, attacking the front of the chaos army from different directions.
Of course, ordinary people can't compete with those with natural devil fruit abilities.
Soon, the gravel soldiers on the front line broke through the formation of the chaotic army.
The gravel spear swung and pierced through any enemy who dared to stand in front of them, and the battlefield fell into a one-sided situation!
That is an almost exquisite battlefield control ability.
Crocodile suddenly had a feeling, he felt Rowan's gaze overlooking the battlefield, UU reading www.uukanshu. com is a lot like a chess player.
The battlefield is his chessboard!
As the observation continued, a cold smile suddenly appeared on Crocodile's face.
He murmured:
"Hehehe, is that so? It seems that I need to find a chance to confirm..."
…
About ten minutes later, this unsuspenseful siege was over.
The rebel army was defeated.
Rowan had no idea of fighting a war of annihilation, but the chaotic army still suffered countless casualties.
Cobra ordered the king's army to go to clean up the battlefield.
Afterwards, Bell of the Falcon, who was in charge of the investigation, the animal-type bird fruit and falcon form ability, returned from the sky and changed from an animalized state back to a human form.
He brought bad news.
"Your Majesty, a small group of chaotic troops found the breach and fled to the southeast."
Cobra was just about to arrange a chase, but Rowan suddenly smiled and said:
"I'll go after it."
He put Wei Wei back on the ground, and the surrounding gravel surged.
After a few breaths, Luo Wenhua made a sandstorm, and the figure disappeared in place.
Weiwei clapped her hands excitedly, "Master Ancestor is amazing!"
But Cobra, the king, frowned slightly.
He is very kind to the people, but he is also a ruthless character who can wrestle with other kings at the World Conference. Naturally, he can hear the overtones of Rowan's words.
Rowan was going to deal with some things, so he let a small chaotic army go as an excuse.
Then, what is the ancestor going to do?
Cobra turned around and couldn't help but be stunned.
Because one person also disappeared—
One of the seven seas under the king, [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile.
