Chapter 200 The Revolutionary Army’s Stealing the Country!

"So, is that boy Porusalino actually acting tough this time? Is he going to go head-to-head with that bastard Newgate?"

The location was the Marine Fortress Fortress Building of the Navy Headquarters. In the Marshal's Office, Lieutenant General Garp was holding a plate of donuts in his right hand. He kept grabbing them with his left hand and stuffing them into his mouth. "It's really rare. I thought that according to his character, , he will directly take his subordinates away from Fish-Man Island, thus avoiding this extremely high-risk conflict in the first place..."

Marshal of the Warring States Period frowned:

"Is this the first day you met him? Garp! The smoothness of that guy Porusalino is not shown in everything. When it is time to persist in things and when it is time to be stubborn, he is even better than Sakaski. Be tough... Moreover, the 'Frozen Throne' plan is related to the layout of our navy for at least the next ten years. Now that it has advanced to this extent, how can it be possible to give up so simply? Even if he is willing to give up, the Five Old Stars It will never be allowed!"

"But, Sengoku, our navy temporarily adjusted its combat plan because of that bastard Newgate. It's not like this has never happened before."

Lieutenant General Garp clapped his fingers in displeasure, "Twice? Three times? Anyway, many times..."

"It's because our navy could only restrain its hands when faced with that bastard Whitebeard in the past, so this time the 'Frozen Throne' plan involves the Fish-Man Island, we must not give in anymore!"

The Warring States Marshal felt his head began to hurt again: "Moreover, even that careless guy from Porusalino can realize this. Why are you still so dismissive? Be serious! Garp!"

"Hahahaha! But no matter how serious I am, it won't work at all, Warring States period,"

Garp laughed loudly, "Is it possible that you and the Five Old Stars can still ask me to support Porusalino? If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be a decisive battle between our navy and the pirates..."

"Although the truth is this,"

Marshal Warring States took out a donut from the tray in Lieutenant General Garp's hand, chewed it, and said vaguely: "But as a naval hero, you are always laughing like this... It's really outrageous!"

"I basically don't deal with front-line issues directly anymore. Isn't it nice to have fun and laugh on weekdays? Besides, there are many young people in our navy who are extremely serious..."

As soon as Lieutenant General Garp finished speaking——

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, Lieutenant General Garp,"

Sakaski walked in expressionlessly from outside the door, "Haven't Porusalino and Kuzan contacted the headquarters yet?"

A smile immediately appeared on the face of the Warring States Marshal: "You came just in time, Sakaski, I have a task for you!"

"Immediately take my order letter and go to the Warship Management Office to go through the relevant procedures. Tomorrow morning, ten Demon-Slaying Order warships will be mobilized to the Chambord Islands to be on standby, and supervise them to complete the coating and dive into the fishmen within three days. A series of tasks on the island! Be prepared to rush to the battle to support Kuzan and Porusalino at any time!"

…

The revolutionary army's plan went very smoothly - Long's secret action caused the violent old king to die suddenly the next night after Lucy and others made the plan, and after the initial panic, the princes , reacted quickly and started a fierce battle for the throne.

Especially the eldest prince Dasko, his competition with the third prince Kelsi is the most fierce, and several military conflicts have even broken out directly.

The eldest prince Dasko has the support of military generals, and he also has many powerful players under his command. The third prince, Kelsey, could not resist Dusco at all with his original power. However, with the help of the revolutionary army who hid his identity, he also relied on the 50 supported shadow zombie cadres to fight against the eldest prince. There is a reply.

The second prince Burton is a hero of the common people, which means that he cannot get the support of the nobles, but there are some civilian-born officers and businessmen supporting him... Of course, he is also favored by the eldest prince Dusco and the third prince Kyle. Xi teamed up to suppress them. After all, one of them represented the nobility, and the other represented the common people. They were naturally opposed to each other.

The fourth prince, Darren, left the Clifford Kingdom early in order to prevent the battle for the throne from affecting him. As for the fifth prince, Benson, he has some ideas about the throne, but he has not taken any action yet. He spends the whole day with some rewards. Gold hunters hang out together.

On the fifth day after the death of the old king, the princes had completely lost their patience and began a comprehensive and direct battle for the throne. Anyway, the funeral of the old king had been held by now, and their superficial filial piety was enough. At this time Whoever can win in a military conflict will have great righteousness.

On the second street of the Naco Noble District in the royal city, a large number of soldiers wearing armor gathered here, as well as some knights wearing plate armor and riding tall horses.

There were six people in the lead, including generals in armor and nobles in gorgeous clothes. Surrounded by everyone was a young man wearing a sapphire gold crown. He had a handsome face and was wearing an exquisite silver armor. There is a Western sword hanging, which also looks majestic.

However, the six of them are not the most conspicuous - beside the six of them, 50 shadow zombie cadres created by Moria are waiting. These tall shadow zombies, whose whole bodies were wrapped tightly in armor specially made by the revolutionary army, and each of them was a powerful killing weapon, made other knights and soldiers look like stragglers.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince and the second prince's troops are marching towards the palace." A knight rode up and reported to the young man surrounded by the six people.

That person was none other than Kelsey, the third prince of Clifford Kingdom.

"The eldest brother and the second brother really can't wait," Kelsey held up her helmet and sneered, "During the day, you told me that we would have a fair competition seven days after my father's funeral. Are you really fooling me into thinking I'm a fool?"

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. Let them take the king's seal left by my father for a while. Anyway, after today, I will be the king of Clifford Kingdom!"

"Your team, in my name, pretend to go towards the palace! The louder the noise, the better! Others and special teams, follow me now!"

…

Third Prince Kelsi was marching to the destination with his men.

"Your Highness, do we really want to follow the plans of those mysterious people?"

The middle-aged knight who spoke was wearing pure black metal plate armor and had a resolute face. His handsome appearance and the aura of a mature old man could definitely kill all kinds of women. His dark green eyes revealed even more. The light that catches people is like a sharp sword. There was a cross sword hanging on his waist and a cross gun in his hand. The black horse he sat on was also covered in a black vest and had a large triangular knight's shield hanging on it.

"Great Knight Chad, if I can defeat Brother Wang and the others head-on, I will not carry out this plan."

Kelsey shook her head, with a look of anger on her excited face, "Even if we add the 50 zombie soldiers they provided us, the brothers are still far stronger than me... If they could put those 50 zombie soldiers together at that time... Lend me all the remaining zombie troops... Oh!"

"But Your Highness, if your two royal brothers snatch the king's seal and occupy the palace, any one of them can command the army of the country... At that time, seizing the throne will become a Something that is almost impossible!”

The great knight known as Chad said this - his words were not explicit. If an ordinary leader heard such a straightforward statement from his subordinates, he would definitely lose his temper and severely punish the rude person.

However, Knight Chad is an exception among the Third Prince, because he is not only the great knight of the Kingdom of Clifford, with outstanding personal force, but he also controls the most elite knights in the Kingdom - it is no exaggeration to say that the power of the Third Prince Forty percent of the total was brought by this great knight.

In fact, according to common sense, the great knight of the kingdom should support the most powerful prince in the battle for the throne, not the weak third prince in front of him. The reason why Knight Chad chose to support the third prince Kelsey is actually very simple - he and the third prince have a special relationship.

Just like what is described in third-rate royal novels, Knight Chad and the biological mother of the third prince, a wife of the late old king, grew up in a village. The two are childhood sweethearts and love each other.

However, due to the appearance of the old king, the third prince's mother was forced to marry him. Knight Chad, who did not want to be far away from his beloved, had no choice but to join the Royal Army. As the third prince was born and grew up, Knight Chad climbed higher and higher in the Royal Army, and finally became the Grand Knight of the Kingdom, in charge of the most elite troops in the Kingdom. Knights.

Therefore, in Knight Chad's view, the third prince is not only a legitimate contender for the throne of the kingdom, but also the child of his dead beloved - and it is not certain that he is the third prince's real biological father.

After all, the third prince's handsome appearance is very much like him, and he has always maintained a close communication relationship with the third prince's biological mother. It can almost be said that he and the old king equally divided her day and night...

Before the third prince could reply to Knight Chad's words, Marquis Mando spoke up: "Knight Chad, I'm afraid you don't know yet. According to the latest information, Wilming, the commander of the Royal Palace Guards, has taken refuge with the second prince. Your Highness."

"how come?!"

Chad was shocked.

As the commander of the royal palace, Wilming can almost be said to have managed the palace as his own territory. If even he has taken refuge with the second prince Burton, then it means that the palace has almost fallen into the hands of the second prince Burton. Although the eldest prince Dusco and the third prince Kelsey also control some forbidden troops, compared with Under the control of the Forbidden Army Commander Wilming, those people couldn't make much trouble at all.

"So, Uncle Chad, it's not that I don't want to go to the palace to compete with the kings for the king's seal, but I don't have any possibility of success..."

Kelsey smiled bitterly.

"..."

Chad's breath was suffocated and he was speechless. He didn't know what to say at all. After a while, he finally said, "I understand."

In fact, it was for this reason that the Marquis Mando and the others, who originally did not support the mysterious force plan played by the Revolutionary Army, changed their opinions - because they were already a noble force labeled as the third prince. If the third prince failed in his bid for the throne, If so, then their end will be death. Even if they are dead Taoists and not poor Taoists, they can accept the sacrifice of other nobles for their own benefit.

"Don't be too pessimistic, Uncle Chad,"

The third prince comforted him, "Although taking the nobles hostage will cause them to bear a grudge against me and even hinder my future governance, this method is indeed effective. And to put it bluntly, everything is related to interests. As long as I give They have benefited enough, and they will forget what happened today when I put a knife on their necks..."

"For the sake of the throne, I even gave up my royal brothers and the palace. What do these nobles mean to me?"

As soon as the third prince finished speaking, various explosions and roars sounded one after another. In the direction of the palace, flames shot into the sky and smoke filled the air.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Then there was a series of gunshots like fried beans - the battle had reached an extremely fierce level from the beginning, and the cruelty of the battle for the throne was evident.

"Your Highness, the troops of His Royal Highness the First Prince and His Highness the Second Prince have begun a fierce battle, and the gate of the palace has been opened!"

Another knight came on horseback and loudly reported the battle situation to the third prince Kelsi.

"Hahaha! It's begun!"

Third Prince Kelsi looked up to the sky and laughed, sweeping away the previous gloomy atmosphere of the entire team. Then he waved his hand and conveyed the order.

"Pass my order. The troops on the front line who are pretending to attack will immediately retreat and follow us to occupy the noble area! The artillery team will push all the artillery up and bombard the palace for me in twenty minutes! Don't hold back and shoot out all the cannonballs!"

…

The aristocratic district of Nako, the royal city.

A large group of soldiers or knights walked through the neat bluestone streets, and artillery pieces were moved on wooden carts - these artillery pieces were all heavy naval artillery smuggled out by officials within the World Government, and Kelsi specially spent a lot of money on them. Bought some from the black market.

The entire aristocratic district was completely surrounded, and these cannons with a metallic luster were placed on various streets and even on high towers. The dark muzzle looked up to the sky, pointing in the direction of the palace.

"The artillery is ready!" a knight in plate armor shouted.

"The artillery is ready!"

"The artillery is ready!"

Then, the sound was passed over again and again.

"fire!"

Third Prince Kelsi gave the order with a cruel and excited smile, holding the phone bug.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! !

Like the cannons of a first-class navy warship, countless black cannonballs were fired from the barrels, flying into the palace with scorching flames and unparalleled power.

call out--

call out--

call out--

"what is that?"

In the palace, a soldier turned around inadvertently and looked strangely at the countless black spots in the sky.

"Get down! Quick! Get out of the way!"

A veteran who had participated in several wars shouted in horror. While he was shouting, the man was already hiding behind a wall.

"This...this is a lie, right?!"

A knight on a tall horse in the palace square raised his head and stared blankly at the cannonballs flying from the sky, his expression as if he was dead.

Because in such an empty square, there was no place to hide from the bombardment, and they could only wait to die.

"boom--!!!"

Suddenly, deafening huge explosions continued to roar, and the earth was shaking continuously - a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air, dark smoke rose like black clouds, and the entire palace turned into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

Clifford Palace was built by King Dasco I five hundred years ago. It is square in shape and covers an area of ​​about 300,000 square meters. It is the place where all the kings of Clifford Kingdom lived - Clifford Kingdom. Throughout history, this palace has never been damaged in the slightest.

Now, for the sake of the throne, the third prince not only had to break the unspoken rule of "not coercing the nobles in the fight for the throne", but also wanted to bury this palace together with his brother.

…

On the streets of the civilian area of ​​Naco City.

A black-haired young man wearing a black metal knight's plate armor heard the sound of the cannon and hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where the sound of the cannon came from. The same was true for several young people around him who were also wearing armor.

"This sound of gunfire... I knew it! Brother Wang and the others will definitely take action today!"

The black-haired young man is tall, nearly two meters tall. He looks handsome and majestic, with a cross sword inlaid with gems hanging from his waist.

"Go and notify Mr. Douglas! It's time for us to end!"

"yes!"

Looking at the man passing the message away, the black-haired young man, the fifth prince of the Clifford Kingdom who had eaten the fruit of the superhuman exchange, smiled with anticipation and excitement.

"Hurry up and fight! The more intense the better!"

"Brothers may not have thought that I would be the final winner... No way, who gave me the ace card of Douglas Barrett, a crew member on Pirate Roger's ship, known as the descendant of the devil?"

"I have taken the king's seat!"

…

"Damn it, who dares to bombard the palace?!"

Amid the artillery fire caused by the third prince, a young knight hiding under the palace wall was shocked and furious. He has blond hair, green eyes, and a golden crown with rubies on his head. Wearing a silver battle armor, he held a sharp sword in his hand.

He is none other than Dasco, the eldest prince of Clifford Kingdom, who was originally the most favorable contender for the king's throne.

Although with the strength of a swordsman, he could easily cut through steel, even the flying cannonballs, but there were too many cannonballs, and the palace was turned into a sea of ​​flames in the blink of an eye. With his current level of swordsmanship and strength, these cannonballs would not be able to cut them cleanly. If he did not hide, he would only be blown to death alive.

He saw with his own eyes that a knight under his command who was wearing solid plate armor was directly hit by several cannonballs. Under the terrifying power, the metal plate armor shattered and flew in all directions - the whole person was beaten to pieces on the spot and turned into pieces. It rains blood all over the sky.

You know, that knight is considered a good player among his men, and is even known for his strong physique.

There was also a soldier who was hit in the chest by a misfired artillery shell. Although the shell did not explode, the powerful kinetic energy still caused his upper body to disappear instantly, leaving only his lower body dripping with blood a few meters away.

"...Only his men are not here, the third prince, His Highness Kelsi!"

The old nobleman who was also hiding behind the wall was shivering and guessed in horror.

"asshole!"

Hearing this, Dusco roared angrily, "How dare that bastard?! Clifford Palace has been passed down for hundreds of years and no one is allowed to destroy it. Does he want to arouse public anger?!"

"As long as he gets the throne, he shouldn't care about this..."

Another nobleman who was hiding smiled bitterly.

Dusco's face became even more ugly - if his third brother Kelsi could do such a thing as bombarding the palace, then he would not abide by other more unwritten rules when competing for the throne. .

And a person who doesn't follow the rules is often the scariest person.

…

At the gate on the other side of the palace.

The same young knight with a topaz golden crown was hiding in a basement, guarded by a dozen knights. Artillery fire roared outside, and dust and gravel continued to fall from the ceiling overhead.

"Your Highness Burton, are you okay?"

A tall knight who was more than two meters tall and wore tattered plate armor like an iron tower asked in an angry voice.

"I'm fine."

The second prince Burton shook his head to remove the gravel from his golden hair, and then asked with lingering fear: "Wilming, what is going on?"

Dozens of cannonballs had just hit him unexpectedly. If it hadn't been for the desperate protection of the commander of the Royal Palace Guards who had taken refuge in him, I am afraid that the second prince would have been seriously injured by the bombing, and his body would not be intact until his death.

Wilming, 36 years old, comes from a civilian background. King Clifford is the commander of the palace guards and is in charge of the palace guards.

"I don't know, I just know that someone was probably shelling the palace. I took a look earlier and saw that the entire palace was covered in heavy artillery fire." Wilming shook his head, also a little frightened.

Under the bombardment of such a large-scale artillery fire, I am afraid that the palace will be razed to the ground.

"Damn it, this is the inviolable palace of Clifford Kingdom! What do they want to do?!"

Burton was stunned for a while, and then roared angrily, "Brother is also here in the palace, so it must be that bastard Kelsey! Damn it! Someone has reported to me long ago that he colluded with outsiders. They must have come up with this evil idea together. plan of!"

"It must be them! They must want to catch us all, bastards, a bunch of bastards!"

After guessing the identity and purpose of the attacker, Burton, who had always been mild-tempered, couldn't help but curse. You must know that most of his troops and men are outside. I am afraid that not many people will survive after this artillery fire - this is the wealth he has accumulated over the years!

"Your Highness, you said that the third prince colluded with outsiders. How come I haven't heard of this information?"

Wilming asked doubtfully.

"Because I think the outsiders that Third Brother can collude with are just some pirates who can't get on the stage, and we have a large army, so I don't pay too much attention. And Wilming, you only joined us recently... the fact is It’s indeed what I thought. Third Brother is indeed surrounded by fifty soldiers wearing weird armors, but the way those soldiers fight is simply not like humans, and they are not afraid of pain and death at all..."

"...Your Highness, are you sure that the extra people around the third prince are soldiers wearing weird armor?! And their fighting style does not look like humans?!"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Burton looked at Wilming beside him with confusion - this soldier who was born as a civilian and was extremely brave in the face of artillery fire was sweating coldly and showed a horrified expression.

"...This morning's 'World Economic News' revealed news about the Revolutionary Army... Wearing a strange standard armor, powerful in combat and not afraid of pain and death at all, he is a cadre of the Revolutionary Army and a former great pirate. Zombie soldiers created by Moria! And according to the newspaper, the navy has found no trace of them anywhere in the world or in the paradise. They must have arrived in the new world."

Burton couldn't help but change his face: "Revolutionary Army, that's not..."

"Ah, the anti-government organization that not long ago hijacked the Heavenly Gold and later killed the world noble St. Stepide! The reason why they joined forces with His Highness the Third Prince is that they must be eyeing this kingdom!"
