[Three years have passed since the days when not a drop of rain fell in the Kingdom of Alabastan.

The scorching desert land is now surrounded by sorrows and great waves. 】

Well...

From the time he landed at the rape flower port in Alabastan to the time he entered the town, Asuka had heard the above sentence the most.

The rebel army in this country has already sounded the horn of the attack.

Now Alabastan can no longer be described as wolf-smoky.

This is simply the royal capital living in the encirclement.

In the entire kingdom of Alabastan, except for the king who temporarily maintained peace and there were no rebel armies, there were rebel armies in the rest of the country.

Asuka held an apple in one hand and an apple in the other, nibbling around as he looked around.

It doesn't seem to be much different from when I came a year ago.

"Big news, 300,000 king's troops have defected to join the rebel army."

Just as he was distracted, Asuka heard an exclamation from the end of the street ahead.

"The 300,000 king's army defected to join the rebel army, and now the rebel army has become 700,000."

Katsa!

Hearing this astonishing information, Asuka opened his mouth and took a large bite of the apple and walked towards the person who had spread the news.

It is worthy of being a powerful country on the great route.

That's 600,000 standing troops at every turn...

"Dude!"

Asuka walked up to the man, pulled a cigar out of his pocket, handed it over, and asked.

"What's the matter with these 300,000 kings' troops who defected to join the rebels?"

Looking at the expensive cigar handed by the other party, the man wiped his hand and took it, put it in his pocket, and then explained to Asuka.

"Alas, the little brother may be from outside, and he doesn't know much about the situation in this country, so this battle can't be fought at all!"

As he spoke, the man turned and pointed to the barren desert behind him and continued.

"The king's army is not an orphan, they have relatives.

Now their relatives are almost dying of thirst at home because of King Kobra's indiscriminate use of dancing powder.

After three years of drought, King Kobra did not say anything about solving the problems of the lives of the civilians in the country, which led to the relatives of the king's army all joining the rebel army.

The rebels are all relatives... How do you fight this battle...

No, just yesterday, for various reasons, the king's army directly defected to the rebel army, and this defection fell by 300,000.

What was originally a suppressive war of 600,000 kings against 400,000 rebel troops has now become a defensive battle between 300,000 kings and 700,000 rebels.

In the next words, the rebel army will soon be able to besiege the royal capital, and then the country will soon be full of blood.

If the king of Kobra and the leader of Kosha do not agree, war is bound to break out. ”

"Alas!"

Hearing this, Asuka let out a long sigh, reached out and patted the man's shoulder, comforting.

"Brother, please mourn!

Alabastan is going to be finished, and you're going to be a dead man soon, brother.

People who have lost their country have no human rights, no freedom, no dignity, and no justice.

Those who have lost their country have no one to rely on, and no one to do justice for you.

When I think of your dark life in the future, the apple in my mouth is a little bitter. ”

With that, Asuka broke half of the apple in his hand and handed over the half of the apple he hadn't bitten.

Then, he looked at the sad Alabastani national and suggested.

"Join the Navy, no one can do justice for you now, and as a gathering place for justice in the sea, the Naval Headquarters of Marin Fando is the best choice for you.

Although it is a bit difficult to join the headquarters with your physique, there should be no problem in joining the branch. ”

After listening to Asuka, the citizens of Alabastan looked up at Asuka and smashed their mouths and said subconsciously.

"King Kobra is alive, he's not dead.

And I feel that Alabastan still has a chance to be saved. ”

Syllable!

Hearing this, Asuka held an apple in his beak, put his hands on the person's shoulders, and said solemnly.

"You're quite right.

So, you can now call up civilians who are unwilling to join the King's army and are not willing to join the rebel army.

Let them bring their own rations, and then we will form a lobbying force to stop the war, to prevent the demise of Alabastan. ”

When the man heard Asuka's proposal, he couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky.

Stop the war of a million people.

No kidding.

The gods can't stop it when they come.

Come to think of it this way... It seems like... Alabastan really has no chance of salvation.

After all, this is a war of a million people.

After the fight, the country has to be ruined.

Thinking of this, the man stared at Asuka and said with a serious expression.

"I, Roslet Kuhn, am going to join the Navy now."

"Hmm!"

Asuka looked at the very conscious guy in front of him, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, and then he took out his naval certificate from his arms, put it in front of this person and shook it, and lowered his voice.

"I'm Captain Asuka of the Navy Headquarters.

Kuhn, you have now been temporarily promoted to the rank of Third Private by me, and have been forcibly summoned by me, you pack your things and prepare to go on a mission with me. ”

"Ah~"

Kuhn rubbed his eyes, looking at Asuka in disbelief, and at the Navy certificate in his hand.

This is going to be a naval soldier yourself??

He just said he wanted to join the Navy... It seems to be just a mouthful.

He doesn't want to leave here yet.

"That's it!"

Asuka took a cigar out of his pocket and lit it in his mouth, then turned to look at the end of the street and continued.

"Private Kuhn, now that your country is about to die, and the civilians in your country are about to suffer all kinds of suffering, even threats to their lives, we, as the navy, should stand up at this time and seek hope for your country.

Most importantly, the Navy has decided to intervene in the rebellion in your country, since Alabastan is an important source of military spending for the Navy.

Joining the Navy now is not only a thrilling experience, but your name will be engraved on the walls of the capital Albana afterwards as a national hero for future generations to admire.

And if you feel in danger, you can run away at any time. ”

"Yes!"

Kuhn gave Asuka a very non-standard military salute with an excited face.

Wouldn't that be the end of saying that?

For the sake of the stability of military spending, the Navy has decided to meddle in the affairs of Alabastan, so that its own country can be saved.

And as a pawn of the Navy, he will inevitably make great contributions.

The point is... If you're in danger, you can run away.

But...

Kuhn smacked his lips, gave Asuka a cautious look, and asked.

"Just the two of us?"

"Just the two of us for now."

"Aren't you a colonel in the headquarters of the Navy? I remember that the colonel must have had a lot of sailors under him. ”

Hearing this, Asuka's cheeks stiffened slightly, and then he said angrily.

"It's not the damn that the treaty signed between the Seven Martial Seas and the World Government, as well as the treaty signed between the Alabastan Condelegated States and the World Government, is playing tricks.

Under the treaty, there are strict restrictions on the number of naval officers who can enter the area.

Until the World Government gives an order, I can only come in as a person.

And this time it was a covert mission, and if you bring in the marines, the target will be too big.

We have to come quietly. ”

As he spoke, Asuka raised an eyebrow at Kuhn and lowered his voice.

"You know what you mean??"

"Well~"

Kuhn nodded understandingly, and then asked.

"Then Colonel, we're going next..."

Asuka looked at Kuhn and said with a look of course.

"Mediating the war, of course!"

Looking at the hesitant expression on the other party's face, Asuka patted him on the shoulder and commanded.

"It's certainly not enough for just the two of us.

You go and quietly recruit some people, and I will give them the status of [Pirate Guerrilla] third-class soldiers, and each person will be paid five kilograms of water per day, and fifty kilograms of water will be given as enlistment fee first.

Then give 50 kilograms of water to your own family, and it will be used as an advance of ten days' wages.

Let them bring their own dry rations, and then we will go to Alabastan together and stop the war.

Rest assured, there will be no danger to life.

If your life is in danger, you can run away on your own. ”

Grunt!

Hearing this lucrative condition, Kuhn subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Then he caught the point of Asuka's words.

"Pirate guerrillas??"

Kuhn muttered the name twice, and subconsciously tilted his head to look at Asuka, the name of this pirate guerrilla... It sounds like a pirate, didn't Lao Tzu join the navy just now?

"Alas!"

Seeing that the other party looked at him hesitantly, Asuka suddenly remembered the two old men of Zefa and Sengoku in his mind, and couldn't help but sigh softly and explained casually.

"This is a unit created by the previous Admiral Zefa, specializing in sniping pirates.

The last time I was on a mission in the North Sea, I went too far, and I received tens of thousands of temporary navy at once, which frightened the marshal of the Warring States, and since then he has not allowed me to stuff temporary personnel into the naval headquarters.

And [Pirate Guerrilla] was created by the admiral, and was tacitly acquiesced by the marshal of the Warring States, and his status as a third-class soldier there is the same as the naval headquarters, and you can understand the relationship between the naval headquarters and the naval branch. ”

"Oh~"

Kuhn let out a long sigh and instantly understood the relationship between the two.

As an indigenous native of the Great Voyage, he knows the relationship between the naval branch and the headquarters that begins with the G word.

In general, it is level.

Private status + a bunch of water + if you are in danger, you can run away by yourself.

Blood-earned.

...

Afternoon.

After Asuka finished his lunch, he took the ten standard broadswords and went to the place agreed with Kuhn.

And then...

He blinked his eyes and saw that there were thousands of people around this agreed place, and he was instantly stunned in place.

What do these people do?

Is there something going on in the city today?

Just as Asuka was wondering, he saw Kuhn, the guy, squeezing in front of him from the crowd.

"Colonel Asuka!"

When they heard the words [Colonel Asuka], these thousands of people stared at Asuka with bright eyes and shouted at the same time.

"Colonel Asuka" x n

"cough~cough~"

Asuka coughed lightly and pressed his hand against the group, then he pulled Kuhn aside and pointed at the group and asked.

"What are these guys doing?"

Kuhn tilted his head and explained as he looked at Asuka proudly.

"It's all for the sake of the water... Bah... For the sake of justice, he came to help the colonel suppress the rebellion in the country.

The colonel also rest assured that the addresses of this group of people have been registered, and they will not run away with water.

I, Kuhn, do my errands, and please rest assured Colonel. ”

“......”

Asuka looked down at the ten standard broadswords he was holding in his arms, and then looked up at the black crowd around him.

Just now, he sensed it with a domineering look...

Less than three thousand people... His name is read backwards...

It is truly Alabastan, a country with a large population.

Underestimated.

Bah.

Lao Tzu found the wrong person, what the hell, he actually recruited thousands of people for Lao Tzu.

This time it was completely exposed.

Alas!

Asuka sighed heavily, and glanced at the group of civilians with utensils in their hands, waiting for them to release the water.

Then he put his hand into the air door, took out a thick water pipe directly from it, and began to release water to the group of people while making phone calls to report the situation to Sengoku.

The current situation is a little different from the plan made by Sengoku...

It's not quite what he thinks...

The situation is a little complicated ...

Looking at the phone bug's eyes gradually put on toad glasses, Asuka picked up the microphone and wrapped himself in the silent fruit, and reported.

"Mr. Sengoku, I have now arrived in the inland city of Aruma in Alabastan."

"Hmm!"

Sengoku nodded slightly, then picked up a piece of senbei and put it in his mouth, chewing as he instructed.

"Next, your actions should be more secretive, don't startle the snake, after all, this matter has not been reported to the world government, and it is not easy to attack Klockdahl directly."

"Uh..."

Asuka looked at the thousands of temporary sailors in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly.

"Mr. Sengoku, the stealth infiltration plan may have failed..."

"Found out by Klockdahl?"

"Not really!"

Asuka sniffed hard, looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky, and continued.

"Just half a day ago, this stealth plan hadn't failed.

But half a day later... The number of sailors under my command may be three or five thousand.

In other words, I was only going to recruit 10 people, give me a start, and gather information from all over the world.

But something went wrong somewhere in between.

Now the number of sailors here is comparable to that of the naval bases on the great route, and even some naval bases are not as large as the number of sailors here here..."

Speaking of this, he looked down at the phone bug and said apologetically.

"Mr. Sengoku, I recruited you a !! for the naval branch"

...

PS: Ladies and gentlemen, see you tomorrow.
