Chapter 44: Kobra
"General Brand!"
Tazmi led a team of dragoons, endured the heat of the lava on the ground, and flew low to Brand's side.
Tazmi was in full swing and jumped into the sea of lava, the scorching heat eroding the defenses of the armed color, making it almost impossible to resist.
"Yo, Tazmi!"
Brand supported the red-backed shrike with his right hand, and with great difficulty reached out his left hand and gave it a thumbs up.
Tazmi looked at the crumbling brand, and immediately waded through the lava, took the red-backed shrike, and let his right hand wrap around his shoulder, supporting Brand's body as a whole.
The wyvern descended, and Tazmi wrapped his arm around Brand's waist and placed it on top of the wyvern.
"General, this navy?"
"He's not dead yet!"
Tazmi was shocked, his physical strength was exhausted, and he hadn't died from such an injury, what kind of vitality was this!
Understanding what Brand meant, Tazmi scooped up the tattered body of the red dog from the magma, the hot magma made Tazmi secretly frightened, even so, the natural devil fruit ability still did not fail, and the magma sea under his feet did not have any erosion for the red dog.
The rain of fire in the sky has stopped, and all that remains of the world is the sound of the flowing magma grunt, and the active volcanoes emerging from the ground emit pitch-black smoke that blackens the entire sky.
If you hadn't seen such a scene with your own eyes, no one would have thought that it was man-made!
After settling the red inu, he didn't put on the sea tower stone for him, but just put it on the back of the flying dragon and left this magma land.
"Thanks to [Haunted by Demons]!"
Brand lay on the back of the wyvern, and only felt his eyelids heavy, but he couldn't help but look at the dark clouds in the sky and talk to Tazmi.
At the same time, a burst of light dissipated, and [Haunted by Demons] disappeared, turning into a long sword, which was held in Brand's hand.
"Admiral Brand, don't you really have to wear a sea stone for that navy?"
"He's already defeated!"
Brand said confidently with a smile on his face.
That broken body can only be kept alive by the power of the Devil Fruit, and if you wear the Hailou Stone, your already weak body will become even weaker.
Tazmi looked at Brand's current appearance, his mood was agitated, and he didn't know what to say for a while, admiration, shock, admiration?
This confident smile is very contagious to him.
"Hey, you kid, what are you stunned about, I'm like this, come and get something to eat, it's not enough to use first aid pills!"
Brand looked at Tazmi, who was suddenly stunned, and said angrily.
Tazmi had already fed Brand the first aid pill for the first time, but that kind of little nutrition and curative effect could not make up for the large lack of nutrition and vitality after the limit of the body.
"Nutrition bars?"
Tazmi pulled out a military-style portable nutrition bar from his bosom.
"Bastard, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat for ten days, this kind of thing can't satisfy me!"
Brand scolded, but his hand was honest, and he ripped open the package and stuffed it into his mouth.
With a bar, and with the recovery of the first aid pill, Brand sat up and picked up a bar despite the eyelid fight.
Six days without sleep, and high-intensity fighting, the spirit has reached the limit, fighting to the end, the two rely on the will to support, but now what is more important to Brand is the lack of physical vitality, otherwise if you fall asleep, it will be a few days without eating, which is not conducive to recovery.
"First aid pills to feed that navy more hunger and thirst, nutrition bars can also be used!"
After reluctantly reinforcing himself, Brand said to Tazmi.
"Oh, that monster..."
Peng!
Brand had a brain bomb on Tazmi's head.
"Boy, who are you looking down on, I can fight for three more days and three nights, hey!"
"Hey, why do you still use domineering!" Tazmi covered his head and shouted, and suddenly reacted again: "No, why are you still domineering!" ”
"Humph!"
Brand smirked.
"[Demonic Haunting] can greatly reduce my domineering energy consumption, and with the energy of the breathing method, this is the key to my victory in this battle! That navy, in order to break the defense of [Devil Haunted], consumed too much domineering! ”
Brand said the key to winning this battle, that is, the lack of Akainu's domineering!
[Devil Haunting] is the Emperor's tool, which itself has strong defensive adaptability characteristics, and if you want to improve the ability of the Emperor's tool, there is an alchemy upgrade from the research department, unlike the Devil Fruit ability, which takes a lot of time to develop the fruit ability.
Because of the fusion of the world, the shackles of the crimson world's physique were broken, and Brand had already fallen into the bottleneck period of improving his physical strength.
But even so, he still exercises every day and spends a lot of time exercising.
After the world merged, this bottleneck was broken, and Brand fell into a period of rapid improvement in strength.
It is no exaggeration to say that no one in the Empire can match Brand in terms of physical fitness!
After the world was merged, Brand cultivated domineering for the first time, coupled with the rapid growth of his physique, his strength increased rapidly.
And the improvement of strength is addictive, and Brand is a training maniac, so that he can quickly catch up with the strong man at the general level.
Aside from Estes, among the several generals of the Empire, only Brand can do it!
Even if it was Will, it would be a little worse, if it was the navy in Alabastan, Will would definitely not choose a one-on-one tactic like Brand, but use the tactics of dealing with the bigmom pirates to deal with the navy.
"Boy, therefore, keep exercising!"
Brand patted Tazmi on the shoulder and smiled.
"I'm not young anymore, General, and you always give me the feeling that I have just come out of the village!"
Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Tazmi's heart was a little touched, but he still rolled his eyes on the surface and complained.
He is already in his twenties, but after watching a battle, he can still laugh and motivate Brand in his back, and Tazmi can feel his own shortcomings, as if he is still a little ghost who has just graduated from a military academy and entered the army with full of enthusiasm in Brand's eyes.
The dragon flew towards Albana, the royal city of Alabastan, and upon arrival, the army's medical department picked up the badly wounded Akainu, gave him medical treatment, gave him a nutrient solution, and handcuffed him with Hailoushi.
Brand ate a hundred servings for a week before he fell asleep.
But Tazmi wasn't so idle.
The first is the settlement of the displaced people of Alabastan, and the Imperial Army assists the Alabastan Kingdom Escort to regulate and manage the public situation and prevent unrest.
At the same time, intelligence found the traces of the ghost spider, and for this reason, Tazmi had to rush there himself to ensure the capture work.
With the capture of the ghost spider, a major admiral of the navy, four lieutenant generals, and a total of five high-end combat forces were completely defeated, and the idea of the world government to coerce Alabastan was shattered.
But alas, the ghost spider has already sent the intelligence to the naval headquarters, and the world government has received the news of the mutiny in Alabastan.
Tazmi had just returned to Albana from Juba after capturing the ghost spider when he received a request to meet Kobra.
Today, the Imperial Army in Alabastan is stationed in the camp of the Kingdom Guard in Alabastan, and the flag of Alabastan is hoisted, but now that this has happened, the flag of the King of Alabastan should also be removed and replaced with the flag of the Three Lions of the Empire and the flag of the Southern Border Guard.
Kobra and Vivi were waiting in front of the barracks, and when Tazmi's lieutenant saw him, he asked several soldiers to take the ugly Karui duck to the side, and led them to meet Tazmi.
"General Tazmi!"
The moment he saw Tazmi, Kobra seemed to have grasped the backbone of the heart and shouted loudly.
"Don't get excited, King Kobra!"
Tazmi asked Kobra to sit down and said.
"What is General Brand's injuries? Navy..."
Cobra only knew that the Imperial army had won, and that several cities south of Alabas had been buried under lava, and that six days of fighting, earth-shattering, and terrifying destruction had terrified Cobra.
Vivi, the blue-haired girl on the side, grabbed Kobra's sleeve and looked curiously at the layout of the barracks reception and Tazmi, but because she was shy and timid, she just watched.
"General Brand is fine, the navy has been completely annihilated by the Empire, King Kobra does not have to worry, the Empire will guarantee the safety of the people of Alabastan, and the army of the Empire will protect you as if you were the subjects of the Empire!"
】
"General Brand is fine, and on behalf of the people of Arabaas, I sincerely thank you for your efforts!"
Kobra stood up and tried to bow to Tazmi, but Tazmi was quick to stop him.
It's not his credit.
And the first thing Kobra did when he arrived was to care about Brand's situation, which was not contrived, but genuinely caring, which made Tazmi's senses for him extremely good.
"However, since there is such a conflict between the empire and the world government, then Alabastan will no longer have the status of an ally in the eyes of the world government in the future."
"When the conspiracy of the Seven Martial Sea Sand Crocodiles was exposed by General Brand, Alabastan was completely disappointed in the world government, and the world government could watch the pirates steal the country and watch the people suffer, such a regime is no longer worthy of our support!"
Kobra shook his head and sighed.
"Actually, I should have understood a long time ago, the ancestor of the Nafirutali family gave up his identity as a Celestial Dragon and left the Red Earth Continent for Alabastan, which has already proved that the world government is dark and dirty, pirates are rampant, slave trade, and people are not living, where is the life that people should live!"
Kobra was chattering there, and although Tazmi felt the same way, he was not from this world, and he was disgusted with the world government, but he was not like Kobra, so he could only go along with it.
In his opinion, this king of Alabastan is a very amazing person, he does not look like a king, and his several interactions with him all show the incompetence of this king, but he loves the people of Alabastan from the bottom of his heart, and is even willing to give everything for it.
Today, Kobra came only to seek a glimmer of peace.
It would take a lot of courage for Kobra to be an enemy of the world government, because he had to consider that once Alabastan was used as a battlefield, his people would have to face a lot of war, which he did not want to see, but at the same time, he wanted his people to live the life of the imperial people as depicted in the newspapers.
Therefore, when Brand approached him, informed him of his intentions, and explained the situation of the world's convergence, Kobra finally agreed to turn to the Empire and help him.
But even so, he still couldn't help but worry that after the arrival of the navy, the battle between Brand and Akainu destroyed several cities in Alabastan, and such fears were even more prevalent.
Fortunately, because of the help provided by the Empire, there were no casualties, but in the future, Alabastan may face the requisition of the world government, and at that time, will Alabastan have a place of peace?
But in this matter, Tazmi can't be the master yet.
"King Kobra, the Empire will solve your worries!"
A hearty voice rang out, and Brand appeared in the room, and Kobra and Tazmi got up at the same time.
"General Brand, your wounds!"
"Don't say it all, I'm not seriously injured, just get some sleep, hahaha!"
Brandhowe laughed and slapped Tazmi on the shoulder, a huge force that made him stagger.
Tazmi had a smile on his face, he was still that strong, and it seemed that he was really fine!
"King Kobra, I'm sorry for the situation in Nahana and other cities, this is my miscalculation, and I ask you to accept my apology here!"
Brand bowed down, such a move made Kobra panic and hurriedly stopped, but how could his strength stop Brand.
This was Brand's miscalculation, he underestimated the destructive power caused by the Admiral!
"Here, I want you to see the sincerity of the Empire, not using Alabastan as a tool for the Empire to wage war with the World Government, but really protecting Alabastan!"
"I can see, I can see that General Brand is not that kind of person, and the empire that such a general is loyal to will naturally be the same as on the news, and will not disappoint!"
Kobra hurriedly said, he really thinks so, Brand is born with such an affinity to be convincing.
"In that case, would King Kobra be willing to follow me to the Empire to meet Your Majesty?"
"Huh?"
Kobra had a look of surprise on her face, Vivi's mouth was wide open, and even Taz's eyes widened.
"Yes, this is an invitation from His Majesty, and at the same time, we also want to hand over the prisoners of the Navy to the Empire."
"No, no, no, wait a minute!"
Kobra calmed down before he spoke.
"I'm so honored!"
He admired the emperor of the empire very much, because the people under the rule of the empire are happy, and the life of the people of the empire is as distant as a dream for Kobra, who thinks that as a king, he cannot make such a political achievement, so he is like a fan of Heaton.
Moreover, as far as he knows, this emperor is sacred, and he will turn the tide of the thousand-year-old empire, punish evil ministers, quell rebels, exterminate foreign races, and bring the people to peace, so that the empire has become an unprecedented prosperous era in just a dozen years!
These series of feats were sung by the people of the empire, and everyone knew about them, and with the addition of peace and tranquility, adding a series of sacred colors to it, the emperor has become a unique myth.
"Then General Brand, how are we going to get to the Empire, do we want to pass through the space passage opened by the World Government?"
Kobra couldn't wait, he knew that Alabastan had a spatial passage from the empire to his own world, but the passage was one-way, and it was impossible to return from Alabastan to the empire, and the open passage was under the control of the world government, and Alabastan had just torn its face with the world government.
"No, don't bother, King Kobra, you must have learned some of the changes in Alabastan!"
