Pirate's Devouring Fruit

Chapter 104 Planning ([-])

Bursts of gunpowder smoke drifted over the battlefield, but the battlefield at this moment was not as riotous as before.

The messy ruins turned into a silence at this moment.

Broken weapons remained on the ruins, and the corpses that fell on the ground were densely packed and horrifying. The strong bloody smell filled the nasal cavity as if it had turned into a body, making people almost suffocate.

Dawn also heaved a sigh of relief seeing the mercenaries fleeing in embarrassment without even bothering to pick up their weapons, and climbed onto the boat in embarrassment to escape.

While directing the soldiers to snatch the ships, they used the "King's Treasure" to clean up these defeated troops. Soon the translucent weapons destroyed the ships, sinking the opponents and their ships to the bottom of the sea forever.

This trick is useful against large buildings and dense crowds.

As for why it was not used before, it is because the two parties have already contacted and it is impossible to use it, and it consumes a lot of energy.

"Victory, we are victorious!"

"We can only win thanks to Your Highness, that's because when the halo shrouded me, I was so strong that I cut off the opponent's weapon directly!"

"That's right, and just now His Highness Dawn waved his hand, and those who escaped were killed!"

"His Royal Highness Dawn!!" Karl walked towards Dawn in general's attire, and this time he was in charge of defending the place.

Countless guards cheered, also with respect.

Karl looked at Dawn surrounded by soldiers, as if he saw the scene of His Majesty the King fighting in his youth.

"His Majesty the King is currently in charge of the overall situation in the rear. I will lead the soldiers to fight this war. Thanks to Your Highness, otherwise we may not be able to win so easily." Carl said solemnly.

As for Karl, as the general of the Kingdom of Ishtar who has stayed in the Kingdom for so long, Dawn naturally knows him, and now that the situation is urgent, it is too late for the two of them to be courteous.

"I have a general understanding of the situation, but why did the Kotal Kingdom suddenly invade?"

This is something that Dawn can't understand. Even if the Iqtar Kingdom is short of food, it won't be so crazy to start a war rashly.

The war broke out too fast, without any warning at all, just like a child playing house, the war started as soon as it was said, and there was no preparation for it.

"We don't know, it was just a sudden attack, but fortunately we have been vigilant against the invasion of the surrounding countries, and we have set up a defense line on the coast, and the opponent will immediately come to help when they attack." Carl shook his head, but he didn't know.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later, let's clean the battlefield first."

After Dawn finished speaking, he began to order and arrange: "Cleaning the battlefield, this is only a temporary victory, remember to arrange people to patrol to prevent the enemy from attacking."

The ships brought by these mercenaries and the food and weapons on them are all good spoils, and they can be used directly without the trouble of transportation.

Although Dawn's actions were somewhat overreaching, no one, including Karl, was dissatisfied from top to bottom, and the soldiers' morale was high when they heard Dawn's orders.

Because Dawn has proved with his strength that he is not an heir who is just waiting to die, but an heir who can take the lead in protecting the country.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Adolf worried.

"It's okay, you ask the people in the caravan to pack the goods quickly, and then we set off into the capital. When you arrive at the capital, Enil Road, you stay in the capital first, where it is safe." Dawn looked at Adolf and arranged.

Regarding Dawn's arrangement, Enilo hesitated to speak, but did not speak.

Even though he has been practicing since he followed Dawn, his strength is still weak now, not enough to fight.

Looking at Dawn's previous battles, Enilo felt a sense of crisis. When fighting in the warehouse before, he could only wait because he had no strength.

Now in the Kingdom of Ishtar, Dawn has to ask him to go to the capital to escape, which is unbearable for Enil who wants to follow Dawn.

But he didn't speak, just silently made up his mind.

Saying goodbye to Enel Dawn and taking Adolf and others to the capital, he has to go back to find out the overall situation and information.

Karl just rushed to defend against foreign enemies after receiving the news of the invasion, and didn't know much about the whole situation.

And depending on the situation, this time it may be necessary to lead the defense to prevent the invasion of the Kotal Kingdom, because now it is just the vanguard of the opponent to test their strength.

A real army is not so easy to gather, and it is unrealistic to want to launch an all-out war in just a few months.

But what happened inside the Kingdom of Kotal led to the current situation, which Dawn didn't know.

Dawn never imagined that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually the Don Quixote family, and their purpose was to consume the mercenary power of the Cottard Kingdom.

As for attacking the Kingdom of Ishtar, it was only because the Kingdom of Ishtar was the most powerful country around.

If they attack other countries, the Kingdom of Ishtar may intervene to stop the war between the two sides, and it may even act as a squirrel to swallow the Kingdom of Kotar.

Now it would be a good way to directly attack the Kingdom of Ishtar.

You can also feel disgusted with the navy, presumably the Kingdom of Ishtar was attacked by another alliance country, which would be a headache for the navy, after all, there is no way to intervene.
The war will greatly reduce the amount of food sold next year.

And in this way, the attention of the navy can be diverted. If the navy knows that pirates have occupied a country and provoked a war, then the navy has a reason to intervene.

Doflamingo is a good player at manipulating people's hearts, he naturally understands the weaknesses of those mercenaries, and easily let them die.

Facing the war, they just launched the slogan of war, and let these mercenaries put on the "vest of the soldiers of the allied countries of Kotar" to give them a legitimate reason to invade the Kingdom of Ishtar.

There is no command at all, these mercenaries are like a mess, and some people believe that they are pirates.

The reason for putting on the vest is to allow those mercenaries who can't make ends meet and are crazy about money to attack the Kingdom of Ishtar justifiably.

Otherwise, with their straggling and wandering pirate style, I am afraid that it will not be long before they are burned, killed and looted, and the navy will find an excuse to clean them up as a large group of pirates.

But now put a vest on the mercenaries, and then let them organize themselves to attack the Kingdom of Ishtar as cannon fodder to consume the opponent's strength first.

Waiting until Cottard's army is assembled before starting an all-out war is the best choice. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone and consume the strength of both sides.

On the other side, Dawn is now riding in a carriage. Although he also wanted to ride a horse before, this plan was canceled by a call from a phone bug.

The reason was that Karl had already reported to the capital in the previous battle, and Gaius had to know the news that En led the army to victory after returning.

This is to stabilize people's hearts, and to gain reputation for Dawn. When the country is at war with another country, the prince's personal conquest will make the people feel more belonging.

Even if there are complaints from a few dark and selfish guys, they will be suppressed by the general situation, because the heir to the throne is fighting for you, so what dissatisfaction do you have?

But Dawn, who was sitting in the carriage at the moment, didn't have much worry about this war. After talking with Gaius before, he also had a general understanding of the strength between the two countries.

Compared to Ishtar, the situation in the Kingdom of Kotar is not good at the moment. There is a shortage of food, and most of the mercenaries are disorderly. In the previous frictions between the two sides, Ishtar won.

And what Dawn is thinking at this moment is how to take advantage of this opportunity to go further.

For example, beat Cottard down.
