Chapter 263: A New Mission

In front of the intersection of Destiny Square, William looked at the new mission content that had emerged since the appearance of the Golden Lion Shiki.

[Turning the Tide]: Turning the tide of the tide, helping the building to fall, you who are not willing to be subordinate, face the recruitment of the once legendary pirate Golden Lion, choose to resist to the end, defeat the Golden Lion Shiji, and stop his plan.

Reward: Special Specialty [Heart Like Stone]

The entire sky above the Destiny Square is full of threads of fate, since William published an article in the newspaper exposing the plan of the Golden Lion Shiji, and stood up again, issued a combat mobilization, took the lead, and chose to stand up against the Golden Lion Shiji, the number of the threads of fate has increased day by day, growing faster than ever before.

William knows that this is the human heart, sometimes it is important, sometimes it is not important, but when facing a stronger enemy and his own power is weaker, a smart person will not let go of any bit of bargaining chips.

William's consciousness quickly returned to reality from the Destiny Square, and in the study, Sherlock dragged his tired face and was reporting the recent situation:

"White Pine Town has gathered hundreds of pirate groups that have come to help, the combat personnel have been selected, ammunition and supplies have also been replenished, and now there are very few pirates coming from the East China Sea one after another, with the speed of news spread, there are pirates in the East China Sea who want to come, and they should have all rushed over at this time, we don't have to wait any longer. ”

William nodded: "Now let's start transferring the airship over." ”

Selkirk next to him also reported: "The seven hundred elites of the militia have also been assembled, but they are ......." ”

Selkirk said this, and his expression was not very good-looking.

"Deserter?" William asked lightly.

The militia under William has become an armed force similar to the Seven Martial Seas under the king of the World Government, and criminals or immigrants from various countries serve in the Militia in exchange for the protection of the Kingdom of Navia, of course, William's usual control of the militia is a little stronger than that of the World Government and the Seven Martial Seas, and the people in the militia are not as strong as the Seven Martial Seas, but there are still some outstanding talents in it, who have emerged under the big waves.

Crick is a typical character, but not everyone is like Crick, who has both strength, brains, and strong ambitions, and dares to take the initiative to choose a side when a legendary pirate like the Golden Lion Shiki attacks, and stand in the camp of William, a "little man" in the East China Sea who does not seem to be as good as the Golden Lion Shiki on the surface.

Moreover, those who have absconded and emigrated for various things will not have any real loyalty to William and the Kingdom of Navia, in the final analysis, it is only a matter of profit, and in this moment of real crisis, many people abandon William's army, which they see as having no chance of victory, which is not an unexpected thing in William's eyes.

The only thing he cares about is that these former criminals, because they know about the Golden Lion Shiki's invasion, and they know that William's army is about to rush to the sky to start a war, which will cause chaos in the place and lead to the deterioration of local security, after all, one of the main reasons why William wants to take the initiative to attack the island where the Golden Lion Shiji is located in the sky is that he doesn't want to cause too much damage to his territory.

So this time the army was dispatched, William tried his best to select the elite, he did not move the local garrison, and the guards did not all dispatch, plus the warriors selected from the many pirate volunteers in White Pine Town are the main force of the war, after all, in the world of pirates, although the number of people is also very important, it is useless to rely on the sea of people.

The job of the others is to prepare for a naval and world government response after victory, and the second is to bomb the place so that William's backyard on the front line will not catch fire.

There is also a reason for the number of airships, with the current technical level of William's forces, it is not possible to build a giant airship with tens or hundreds of tons as a unit of measurement, and at the level of a textile factory, the airship built will be full of capacity at most dozens of people, not to mention that considering the Devil Fruit ability of the Golden Lion Shiki, and the advantage of free movement in the sky, it is not a smart choice to build an overly large airship and put all the eggs in one basket.

In less than a month, in view of the level of science and technology, limited production capacity and other factors, even if they worked overtime, and added the airships that were made because they mistakenly thought that Harden's disappearance was related to the empty island, there were only more than 60 ships, and the troops that could be transported were about 3,000 people.

Among them, there are 1,100 carefully selected East China Sea pirate elites led by Edmund and Diego in White Pine Town, which are basically composed of captains, deputy captains, and even cadres of various pirate volunteer gangs in the East China Sea, in addition, although Edmund is strong, he is not good at command and coordination, William also specially sent the old minister who once served as the helmsman of the Redbeard Pirates, the calm personality of Diego as his deputy, and also brought several other pirate veterans, such as the drunkard Hutcherson and others to help him.

Selkirk led the rest of the Morgan Pirates and led 700 militia warriors.

The 1,200-strong Guards led by Aramis in Kalmar included Oliver, who had saved Edmund's life and learned swords at the Ichishin Dojo, and Lobida Rohr, who had served in the regular army.

Finally, two hundred chemical troops scattered on several airships to use poison gas.

Finally, there is the Newster Academy, where the three honors of the three students who participated in the campaign with William's charter, Mitch Maronco, Saab and Abram.

These three students, especially Sabo and Abram, are actually very lucky, on the one hand, when they first joined the academy, the academy has been established for a while, just when the academic system is perfect, unlike the first batch of students, many of them only studied in the academy for a few months, and then graduated from the academy, and the foundation is not solid enough. Fish-man karate and even the sword technique of Yuxinliu are not rough, and they are still in a state of unlearned, unlike now, they have already learned and have been taught these techniques in school.

Students like Saab and Abram have the time and opportunity to fill in their knowledge and lay a solid foundation in the school, but because the school has not been established long enough, students, especially the top students, are vulnerable to the attention of principals like William and are destined to be reused.

Even in this battle, William agreed to their request after thinking about it twice, but only these three outstanding students were selected, although they were still young, they were no less than adults.

In addition, as William's brainchild, Danbier did not join the campaign, but was left behind by William to command the base camp.

When William was not there, the base camp was leaderless, and this time it was an attack on the territory of sea thieves such as the Golden Lion Shiki, and the matter was so big that whether it was the locals of the East China Sea, or the reaction of the navy and the world government, it was difficult to completely predict, and a smart person was needed to take command when William was not there at a critical moment.

This candidate can only be Danpier, who has good strength and a smart mind, and William also left Sherlock, an equally smart person, to assist him.

Harden hated the Golden Lion Shiki to the core, but unfortunately he was too badly injured and needed to recuperate to participate in this battle, and William could only appease him and promise to avenge him.

After discussing everything, William looked at Jesus Bu, who had been sitting in his chair and not speaking.
