I'm not really Crocodile

Work in the Wallos Fortress, the inner and outer city areas has been stopped, and the refugees have gained a breathing room, and this is already the second day, and they have not done high-intensity labor for two days, and they also gathered together leisurely.

They also heard that Valos Barrier has changed the leader, and the two-day vacation is an order from above. The vacation is a vacation, but the low salary can still be taken.

"I heard that His Majesty the King has assembled an army in the capital to attack Valos at any time." A refugee seemed very worried, because once the war broke out, these refugees had almost no resistance.

"Just fight. It would be better if all the nobles kill each other and kill each other." A strong man sat on the ground and said indifferently. Even if there was no war, their life would not be much better.

Among his friends from the same hometown as him, there were 50 to [-] people, and more than half of them died due to intensive labor.

"But this princess seems a little different. Why are you giving us a holiday? Isn't it time to strengthen the defense of the barrier when we don't have to do anything?" A refugee was a little confused.

"I don't know. I heard that she used to be the daughter of the president of the Aksu Chamber of Commerce. When the president of the Aksu Chamber of Commerce was here, we could barely get by. It's a pity to lose such a good person." An old refugee He said that it is not easy to survive until now with an old body.

"How is everyone's contact?" These people gathered in a dilapidated house, and the strong man suddenly asked.

"In the past five years, we have secretly contacted most of the refugees. They are all reliable people, but we have no weapons, and there are thousands of city defense troops. If the timing is not right, our entire army may be wiped out." A shrewd and thin man The person said thoughtfully.

They come together to rebel, and over-repression sometimes breeds resistance.

"There is a very good opportunity right now. Tomorrow is the day when all the barriers are unblocked. Princess Xia will hold a city-wide meeting. As long as we control the nobles, we can get a lot of weapons. Compared with the city defense army, Nobles are sometimes easier to deal with." The strong man Sparks had a fierce look in his eyes.

He could have left alone, and he had the strength to do so, but he didn't want to, he couldn't look at these people in front of him, he had seen enough of the slow death under oppression.

Ever since he got a devil fruit by accident, he decided to use this power to change everything.

For five years, they have been waiting for an opportunity. Now that the Duke of Valos is dead, the people in the fortress are in turmoil, and the external king's crusade army is about to arrive. The defensive forces are concentrated on the city wall. On the contrary, the defense inside the city is much looser. This is a once-in-a-lifetime, waiting for a long time good chance.

"Then start preparations now"

"Well, it's rare for us to have time to rest, but we can't waste it. It's time to make these nobles pay the price for their actions." Sparks said coldly

At the city defense, Vic stood on the city wall and looked at the listless refugees gathered below. He couldn't help but frowned. What on earth was Shia thinking? Doesn't the merchant's daughter have any leadership skills?

At this time, let the workers rest and build another moat and strengthen part of the city wall defense. This is what should be done now.

There has been news that, except for the Valos fortress, the other two fortresses have been persuaded to surrender, and now they are alone in the Valos fortress.

Thinking about it, the crusade army, as far as the news has come, has gathered [-] soldiers. The general barrier, how dare it really resist.

If the Duke of Valos is still alive, it is possible.

But the Duke of Valos died, and the leaders of other strongholds had to find another way out. Unlike him, who participated in the death of the king's envoy, and was the main stronghold that was crusaded, he had no choice at all.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good. He even asked Princess Xia to gather the refugees into a group and send them to the city wall, but he was rejected.

"What will happen next?" Vic really didn't want to sit still and wait for death.

So he kept his hands back. If something really couldn't be done, he would break out and escape with his bodyguards and wealth. Even if he became a wanted object, it would be better than death.

But as a last resort, Vic does not want to give up the rights he has acquired. Maybe the crusade army can't break through the Wallos barrier at all, so he will still be the top of the power, and wait until he completely controls the army.

Princess Xia and others might be able to use a large number of troops to clean up in one fell swoop, so that he will become the only person talking about the Valos barrier.

"The Duke of Valos is dead, but the barrier is blocked, we can't get out, and the crazy woman Xi Ya even provoked His Majesty the King. If the King is angry and massacres the city, we will not survive at all."

"Yes, what should we do now? The war is about to break out."

"I heard that the nobles are under control, and I don't know what Princess Xia wants to do. If she wants revenge, she can take revenge herself. Why drag us into the water."

The residents of the inner city are also panic-stricken. They do not have much recognition for the rule of Duke Varos. Besides, people die when they die. Why should they and others suffer because Shia is his only granddaughter?

Gaocheng District.

"Asshole, I'm a viscount appointed by the king. How dare you put me under house arrest? Don't you even want to live?" In a luxurious mansion, a noble shouted to several soldiers at the door.

Because it was blocked, they only knew that the Duke of Valos was dead, and they didn't know any extra news.

"There are several so-called earls lying on the street outside. Do you want to go take a look? There are more than 5 powerful private soldiers. I think the bodies have not been removed yet. You also want to be neighbors with them." The squad leader looked at the noble in front of him indifferently.

Since Dingle told them the truth, the soldiers of the former duke's mansion no longer yearned for nobles, but hated them. If someone tried to resist, they would not be relentless and would clean them up.

Hearing what the soldier said, the nobleman was immediately speechless, not daring to say a word, and returned to the house in despair.

"The situation in the city is very unstable. The king's crusade army has assembled and is on the way. It will take about two days to reach the wall of Valos. The other two walls have already surrendered." Dingle Tell Shia and others about the collected information.

They are living in a mansion in Gaocheng at the moment. They are nobles who are very knowledgeable about current affairs. They opened the door to welcome Princess Xia, and of course, they also wanted to save their lives.

But Rosen didn't care about these.

"How many troops are there?" Although Rosen was a little surprised, it was also expected. From the beginning, this was not an easy task, but now Landis's soldiers have not arrived yet, and he cannot leave the Wallos Barrier for the time being.

Otherwise, troubles may arise.

"8." Dingle reported a number, his face didn't change much, he put life and death aside.

"Are you fighting alone? It seems it's time to add allies." Rosen pondered, and the phone suddenly rang.

At the Valos barrier, the communication restrictions are of course in the hands of Rosen and others, and Hathaway is calling.

Gaga, the phone was connected, and Hathaway's voice came out: "I was discovered, but Raymond did not attack me, but the crusade army will pass by here, and there will be a lot of them. Do you need me to intercept it?"

Shia, Dingle and others were stunned for a moment. This woman actually wanted to stop an army with her own strength. What a joke.

"No, we can't get involved too much. We won't be suspected if we show our faces once in a while, but if the number of times is too high, it will enter the eyes of the world government. Moreover, I need them to come. The war must start to be meaningful. .” Rosen refused.

"Okay, that's right, Alice personally led the team. Their merchant ship has arrived in the paradise and is about to land on the territory of the Kingdom of Andia. You can ask the people from the Chamber of Commerce to help."

"So fast." Rosen was a little surprised. It came much faster than expected.
