Chapter 1 Alabastan

Kingdom of Alabastan:

The Kingdom of Alabastan, located on the island of Santen at the entrance to the Great Shipping Route, is a country built on the desert. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the National Library of Alabastan, some of the tome documents that can be found record the rise and fall of the country and the vicissitudes of life that the island of Santin has undergone.

There used to be many countries on this island, but over time, only Alabastan remained. The many vicissitudes that have been experienced during this period are the subject of much talk among historians, but for ordinary people, only the wisdom and wisdom of Alabastan's monarchs are remembered.

The history of the victors is best confirmed here.

Most of the island is completely covered with yellow sand, with sparse vegetation and few oases, it can almost be said to be a desert floating on the sea. The desert on the island does not have a name, as it has long been recognized as the largest desert in the world, and there is no need for a name to refer to it.

Few people know exactly what lies in the desert, whether it is treasure or danger, luck or danger, and no one has ever been able to fully explore this desert.

The environment of Santing Island is difficult, and the people who live here can be said to experience wilderness survival every day. However, it is precisely this difficult environment that has created the character of the people of Alabastan who are resolute and never admit defeat and always strive for a better life.

They can be defeated, but nothing can break them.

Through the rule of successive kings of Alabastan, the kingdom of Alabastan has become more and more prosperous, and the people's lives have become better and better, and they have more and more trust in the king. Even if there are occasional mistakes that damage the interests of the people, they will not lose confidence in the people, who still believe in their king.

In this blind belief, Alabastan ushered in their new king, Naferutali Kobra.

When he first ascended to the throne, Kobra did some wrong things, such as using dancing powder to get more rain in the royal city of Albana, causing the rain in Alabastan to plummet. However, the people still believed in him, and he realized his mistakes, and he worked hard to restore prosperity to Alabastan.

But after all, Kobra did something wrong, and although he forgave him, what he did is still remembered by the people. As a result, there has been no rain in the whole of Alabastan for the last three years, except for the royal city and the rainy land, and people can't help but wonder if Kobra is using dancing powder again?

Once, by accident, when someone saw the goods in the royal fleet unloading at the docks, it was actually dancing fans, the people immediately became furious and accused the king of his actions. Still, they believed in their king, and they still believed that Kobra would repent. But what ushered in was the mysterious disappearance of the person who discovered the secret, and the rumors in the streets became more and more outrageous. The so-called three people become tigers, in this situation, they can't believe it or not.

Then, groups of people went to the royal city, hoping that Kobra would reflect on his mistakes and listen to the wishes of the people. They believed in their king, and they always believed that it was just a momentary mistake of the king, and when he realized that he was doing harm to the people, he would do what he should do for the good of the people.

-- Among the emperors of Alabastan, even if there is a mediocre monarch, it will change according to the will of the people.

However, contrary to what they had imagined, they were greeted by violent repression and decrees that increased taxes. The first few people were even imprisoned, and there was no more news.

As a result, some of the people were really disappointed, but the other part still believed in their king.

The disillusioned populace, instigated by those who had a good heart, raised the banner of rebellion, proclaimed themselves rebels, and opposed their king. The man led by the rebels is called Kosha. Although the rebels were opposed to the king, they still wanted a mild solution and did not want to fight the king's army. However, Kobra did not seem to want to end so simply, so he encircled and suppressed again and again, and increased taxes, which led to more and more fierce resistance, more and more rebels, and the flames of fighting were ignited throughout Alabastan.

Just when everyone thought that the rebel army would be defeated because of the inferiority of the king's army in numbers, weapons, experience, etc., the rebel army burst into great force. Not only did they have a group of soldiers with strong combat effectiveness, but they also had better armaments than the king's army's weapons, and even their leader Kosha would always be mentioned by some people who "supported them", and foiled the encirclement and suppression of the king's army again and again.

However, the emaciated camels were still bigger than the horses, and the king's army was still stronger than the rebels.

Gradually, the two forces transitioned to a period of relatively smooth confrontation. I believe that when the battle breaks out again, it will be the time for a decisive battle.

Just a week after Crockdahl returned to his headquarters in Alabastan, the Bounty Hunters organization known as Baroque Walker, Inc., became more active. Their men are all over Alabastan and the first half of the Great Voyage, and they seem to be looking for someone. According to the grapevine, it seems that he was secretly hired by the king and was looking for the princess of Alabastan, Princess Weiwei.

Moreover, the bounty hunters have been in and out of the rebel headquarters many times, and even had some minor friction with the rebels. For a while, the news about Princess Wang Weiwei being captured by the rebels spread everywhere.

The people of Alabastan are becoming more and more confused, and they have no idea who to trust, who is the righteous side, and what attitude they should maintain. So, their eyes focused on the hero of the country, Crockdahl, hoping that Crockdahl could stand up and point out the way forward for them who were confused.

In the eyes of the people of Alabastan, Crockdahl is their hero, a defender of their country. Constantly risking his life to defeat the invading pirates, he blessed the peace and prosperity of Alabastan. More and more people are starting to believe in Crockdahl and that Crockdahl can lead them forward. Although Krokdal didn't say anything when the contradictions between the King's army and the rebels were getting deeper and deeper, he spoke with facts and executed the newly captured pirates, which made people's hearts converge in his direction.

"The king deals with the enemy, and I deal with the pirates, because we are all people who love this country!" This sentence, which is often on the lips of Crockdahl, is even more famous by them and is recited everywhere, no one would have thought that such a patriotic Crockdahl would be detrimental to the country.

"Foolish people, it is always so ......"

But at this time, I am afraid that what they didn't expect was that their hero, "Sand Crocodile" Crockdahl, was planning how to push this already shaky country further into the abyss......

"This damn country...... There is no value in existence...... Perhaps, it can be regarded as a big gift......" In the largest casino in the rain and the old nest of Crockdahl, Crockdahl is sitting leisurely in the office touching his chin and thinking. It's been a while since I returned to Alabastan, and the plan is being implemented step by step, and now that the preparations are complete, it's just a matter of timing.

"Now that the matter of the slight disappearance has been successfully transferred to the rebels, Kosha has been bewitched by himself and insists on fighting against the king's army, hehe...... It's time for the high-ranking agents to spread out, it's time for the hunt......"

With a slight smile, Crockdahl opened the drawer of the table in front of him, took out a cigar and lit it, took a pleasant puff, looked at the map of Alabastan hanging on the wall, and flicked his fingers, and the cigar spun and flew towards the map. The cigar hit the map, and the sparks flew and ignited the map, and the flames engulfed the map in an instant, leaving a trail of ashes in the field.

In the curling green smoke, Crockdahl picked up the phone bug on the side: "Hey, Robin......"

Juba:

Juba is the most barren part of Alabastan, and although it is also an oasis, it is poor in rain all year round. Coupled with the fact that no rain has fallen in the whole of Alabastan for three years, life here is even more difficult. Nothing can be done without water, which is the source of all life. Therefore, the strong Juba, who kept digging wells for water, survived despite the difficulties.

In this difficult situation, Juba also had the deepest resentment towards the government and the king. Therefore, the beginning of the rebellion began with Juba, and the leader of the rebel army, Kosha, was a Juba, and the headquarters of the rebel army was also located in Juba.

At the headquarters of the rebels, in the tent where Kosha was staying, Kosha was intently studying the map in order to make a plan of action for the future. At this moment, the bell outside the tent was shaken, and a crisp and pleasant sound was made. Kosha, who was still busy, said without raising his head, "Come in." ”

"Hey, Kosha! Someone claiming to be a cadre of the Revolutionary Army said he was looking for you. A man with a scar on his face and a turban over his head opened his tent and said to Kosha, who was concentrating on the map.

"Oh, it's Kebby, I said you didn't have to say hello if you wanted to come in. Kosha smiled heartily, with a sunny smile on his face and a handsome appearance, he was definitely the type that attracted the most to women.

"Ah, what about that!" Kebby decisively refused, "no matter how good your personal relationship is, these things must be taken seriously. ”

Looking at his childhood friend, Kosha couldn't help but fall into a moment of memory. Before you know it, your former companion has now grown into a qualified warrior.

And what about you, Weiwei?
