The Black Throne of Pirates

Chapter 99 Situation and Butterflies
The land of Drum Kingdom is actually not very big, only 10,000+ square kilometers, and because it is Winter Island, there are very few places where humans can live well, and the food production is insufficient, so the population is relatively small, even if you count the number in recent years The rapidly increasing foreign population does not exceed 600 million.

There are three cities in Drum Kingdom with a population of more than one million.

Among them, the most populous city is undoubtedly the port of Vilia. This port city, which is now the base camp of the rebels, has an actual permanent population of more than 200 million. It is precisely because of such a strong population base that Gilbert can have sufficient resources. Source of troops.

The second is the royal city of Cassia. Relying on being an inland center and having a railway line extending in all directions, it is the transportation core of the Drum Kingdom. In addition, it is the capital of the Drum Kingdom. The actual permanent population of this city is about 150 million people.

The third is the port of Rhodes, with an actual permanent population of about 100 million.
However, compared to Vilia Port, which has a powerful gang force that can be united, Rhodes Port, the second largest port in the Drum Kingdom, has a weak gang force. The main defense force here is the King's Army, but the King's Army lacks similar forces Mu, Reggie and Darth are powerful men who are as powerful as the pinnacle of the sea, so the place is often harassed by pirates.

In order to fight against pirates and maintain good external communication channels in its own territory, Gresham established the only navy in the Drum Kingdom here, the First Navy of the King's Army.

In fact, the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is also a country heavily poisoned by pirates. Coastal cities are often attacked by pirates, and sometimes they are even captured by pirates. Pirates use this to attack inland towns.

The Port of Vilia is just the most special one in the Drum Kingdom. Gilbert resisted all opinions and under the pressure of the country, let the government and gangsters jointly fight against pirates, which allowed him to rule the Port of Vilia. Quickly embark on the road of prosperity and strength, and lay a solid foundation for his rebellion.

More than ten years ago, the actual permanent population of Vilia Port was only about 50. Now it has such a large population, it is entirely because it is a super stable, safe and economically prosperous city that is extremely rare in the era of great pirates. The result of the continuous attracting of foreign population.

There is no doubt that Vilia Port, Cassia City, and Rhodes Port are the most important cities in the Drum Kingdom, which can be said to be the concrete manifestation of the national strength of the Drum Kingdom.

In addition to the three major cities, the inland Snow Wind City is also a very important city in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom.

The city's permanent population is only about 50, but it is the largest military base in the Drum Kingdom, and it is a military center of the Drum Kingdom. Whoever controls this place will have the confidence to explode quickly.

It was precisely for this reason that Gilbert chose to take down Snow Wind City immediately at all costs.

For this reason, the elite Blizzard Legion in his hands lost more than 3000 people.

In the past two months, the King's Army led by Gresham has been trying to recapture this important military site, but unfortunately it has not been able to do so.

Now this important military base is firmly in the hands of Gilbert's Blizzard Legion and Blizzard Legion.

There are three legions in Gilbert's hands. The most elite is the Blizzard Legion with 1 people, followed by the Blizzard Legion with 1 people. It is the reserve legion of the Blizzard Legion. Legion, the preparation is 5000 people.

There are four armies led by Gresham. The most elite is the First Army of the King's Army, which has an establishment of 1 people and is stationed in the royal city of Cassia all the year round. Stationed in the port of Rhodes, it is the Second Army of the King's Army, with an establishment of 3 people, stationed in Snow Wind City all year round.

Finally, there is the First Navy of the King's Army, with a staff of 3000 and ten warships purchased from the World Government Navy, stationed in Rhodes Port all year round.

From the perspective of military strength alone, the King's Army led by Gresham was originally more than 2.5 times the rebel army led by Gilbert.

However, since the Second Army of the King's Army was annihilated by the Blizzard Legion when they were superior in numbers and occupied the strong city, the fighting power shown by the Blizzard Legion has greatly weakened the advantage of the King's Army in numbers. Syracuse, a major military base, obtained a large number of weapons and began to explode troops quickly. There was no obvious difference in the balance of power between the two sides.

In terms of morale, the rebels were even better.

"Bang bang bang~"

At night, outside Snow Wind City, a small-scale battle was taking place, gunshots rang out, and the sound of fighting roared in the strong wind.

Although Snow Wind City is said to be an important place for military affairs, it is not an important place for grain production. Food must be transported in from other places.

In fact, given the environmental conditions of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, it is doomed not to be a major grain-producing country, and it even needs to buy a large amount of grain from abroad. Otherwise, the population of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is seriously exceeding its own grain production capacity, which will definitely cause severe famine.

Now that the Blizzard Legion and the Snowstorm Legion have successively stationed in Snow Wind City, the city has begun to fall into a food crisis.

In particular, the First Army of the King's Army and the Third Army of the King's Army successively mobilized half of their troops to besiege the city and block the food roads. The food crisis in Snow Wind City became even bigger.

As a last resort, Gilbert could only order the Blizzard Legion and the Blizzard Legion to send troops to fight against the king's army from time to time.

It's just that Norland, the commander-in-chief of the King's Army, did not choose to engage in a decisive battle with the rebels very rationally. Instead, he chose to block the morale of the rebels with a small-scale force to block the rebels' food roads, so that the rebels eventually died due to lack of food. Self-defeating.

Thus, the two armies started a lot of small-scale battles around the grain road in Snow Wind City.

Now, a food transport team guarded by the rebel army with about a hundred people was discovered by the scouts of the King's Army, and a King's Army squad of about the same size was attracted, and the two sides started a fierce battle in the snowstorm.

During the battle, a certain battle group affected the hearts of the soldiers on both sides, and saw three rebels besieging a second lieutenant of the king's army dressed as an aristocrat.

These three rebels are no different from other ordinary soldiers in terms of their clothes, but their strength is far superior to ordinary soldiers. At a glance, they can tell that some elite soldiers are disguised as ordinary soldiers.

However, in a three-on-one situation, the three elite rebels were actually at a disadvantage.

"Kang Keng Keng ~"

The young second lieutenant of the king's army is skilled in swordsmanship, and he has mastered the powerful fast swordsmanship. A thin sword is like a storm in his hand, suppressing three elite rebels holding long spears with heavy sword shadows. These elite rebels were all wearing fine armor and protecting their vital parts, and they had been killed by the second lieutenant of the king's army long ago.

"I'm so disappointed. Didn't the three of you pretend to be ordinary soldiers just to deal with me? You only have this strength."

The Second Lieutenant of the King's Army suppressed the three opponents with a quick sword, and said sarcastically with a blank face.

Hearing the enemy's ridicule, the three elite rebels who were scarred and bruised were also in distress. They were indeed ordered to ambush the new star of the king's army in front of them, but they would not have thought that the strength of the three of them would not be the opponent. opponent.

"Hmph, it's in the way!"

Suddenly, the second lieutenant Wang Jun's eyes flashed red, his face turned cold instantly, and then he snorted coldly.

The next moment, the Second Lieutenant of the King's Army used a Ju He Slash to suddenly push back the three elite rebels for a distance, and then used his thin sword to split off several deadly bullets from behind.

Seeing that their bullets were blocked, the rebel gunmen who hid behind the big tree and shot coldly at the back of the second lieutenant of the king's army suddenly changed their expressions, and quickly turned and ran away, but before they took a few steps, they were shot by the second lieutenant of the king's army. A headshot kill with a revolver on his body.

At the same time, the three repelled elite rebels looked at each other and immediately took the opportunity to disperse and escape.

What shocked them was that, with a gust of cold wind blowing, the Second Lieutenant of the King's Army had appeared behind them at some point. At this moment, he was slowly putting the stiletto into its scabbard, exhaled whitely, and said slowly Writes: "Nose song three dings, swallow tail cut."

As soon as the words were finished, the sound of sheathing appeared, and a white sword aura burst out from the chests of the three rebel elites who were scattered and fled, and then fell to the ground and died.
