Chapter 79 Ivan and the King’s Army

I have to say that except for Kizaru, everyone in the entire G2 branch is very motivated in their work.

At six o'clock in the morning, before there was a trace of dawn in the sky, the warships in the port were all ready and ready to set off at any time.

In fact, Ivan's arrival was not too late, it was just that they arrived too early.

"Get aboard and get ready to go."

Although Correa didn't like Ivan at all, he would never affect the mission, so he didn't launch an attack in such a place.

Ivan jumped up, stepped on the air continuously, and landed lightly on the deck.

"Moonstep?"

After seeing Ivan showing such a hand, Correa's expression became a little better.

The reason why Correa looked down upon Ivan was because of his inherent prejudice against academics.He still has great respect for those who are truly capable.

The commander's attitude will affect his subordinates to a certain extent. With Correa's attitude towards Ivan, his soldiers will not have a good look towards Ivan either.

But this had no impact on Ivan. He just sat silently on the deck and closed his eyes to rest.

After traveling at sea for a while, the warship finally arrived at the port of the capital of the Kingdom of Galalli. The old king Galalli Hubert personally led his ministers to greet them at the port.

"Everyone, I have already prepared a banquet in the palace. Please go and attend the banquet."

Because he was asking for help, Hubert's attitude was very low, which made Lefit, the commander of the king's army next to him, who was at least three meters tall, look very ugly.

But there was no way, who made his king's army unable to resist those vicious pirates.

In fact, not only the Kingdom of Galari, but also the armies of most small kingdoms like them are in this situation. Otherwise, why would they pay so much protection fees to the World Government every year?

"Ah."

Correa led a group of men and walked off the warship with their heads held high, not caring about the old king's face at all.

This arrogant attitude is also a common problem in the navy. They put themselves in the position of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, so of course it will be like this.

Lefit's face became even more ugly, as if he was about to drip with water.

All officers with the rank of captain or above went to the banquet with Correa. Originally, Ivan was also qualified, but he decisively refused.

Ivan pointed at Lefit and said: "I personally don't like this kind of embarrassing situation that makes people restrained. I'd better let this adult take me to the camp of your king's army."

After hearing these words, Correa glanced at Evangao.He actually didn't like this kind of scene, but in order to maintain the Navy's face, he had to do it.

"Leffit, just take this guy around."

Neither Hubert nor Lefit liked Ivan that much, and they only agreed to this seemingly unreasonable request because of Correa's face.

Under the leadership of Lefit, Ivan came to the military camp of the king's army.

You may not know that due to repeated defeats, the morale of the king's army has reached the bottom.

The soldiers they saw along the way were all downcast, and the sentry posts were almost useless. No one paid any attention to Ivan and the others when they walked up to them.

With the King's army in this state, even if the navy drives away this group of pirates, they will not be able to withstand the next pirate attack.

It stands to reason that Ivan is a marine, and what happens to the Galari Kingdom in the future has nothing to do with him. He even wishes that they would hand over all their defense forces to the navy.

Ivan walked up to a King's Army soldier holding a gun and asked, "Can I see your equipment?"

The soldier just glanced at Lefit behind Ivan, then reached out and handed over the gun in his hand.

This is an old-fashioned flintlock gun, the kind that is fired with a matchlock. The rifling in the barrel is almost worn away, and it is much behind the kind that navy soldiers used to equip.

Not every soldier can equip it, but if two of the thirteen people in a class can hold this kind of flintlock rifle, it is considered very good.

This is already the case with muskets, let alone their artillery.There are only about ten doors in total, and half of them are broken!

Such low morale and backward equipment made Yi Wen frown.

It is true that naval operations do not require the assistance of the king's army at all, but how can they protect ordinary civilians like this?

Since you have chosen to be a king's army, even if you die in battle, it will be considered an honor. But what mistakes did the ordinary people behind them make? Why should they pay for this backwardness?

"Commander, I have a few things I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

After the contact between Ivan and ordinary soldiers of the King's Army just now, Lefit saw something different in his eyes, so his attitude naturally changed a lot.

"First, put away all the muskets."

"what?!"

The first thing Ivan did made Lefit very dissatisfied. He naturally knew that the equipment of the King's Army was lagging behind, but this was also the lifeblood of the soldiers!

The country's economy is not rich to begin with. Apart from the annual World Government franchise fee, there is very little funding for the king's army. It is good to have these equipment.

Moreover, Lefit had heard the old king say many times before that the king's army should be abolished in order to save costs and the country's security should be handed over to the navy.

Under Lefit's strong dissuasion, the old king put the matter aside for the time being.But after this incident, it's really hard to say whether the King's Army can still exist.

Ignoring Lefit's dissatisfaction, Ivan continued: "Not only the muskets in the king's army, but also the shotguns in the hands of the nobles' own guards and hunters. I don't care what means you use to get the king to agree, within three days It must be completed!”

Because five days later is the time when the Black Hawk Pirates will invade. If it is delayed any longer, Ivan will really have nothing to do.

"anything else?"

With the change in Lefit's expression, he finally wanted to hear what next step Ivan had in mind.

"The second point is to make blacksmiths and people who are proficient in musket construction anxious."

"Third, resume the training of the King's Army!"

"Fourth, help me get some gunpowder, the more the better!"

After hearing this, Lefitt knew what Ivan wanted to do, and he suddenly became excited.

"You mean, let us fight pirates with you?"

If this is the case, the people will not be completely disappointed with the King's Army, and will have more confidence in the regime of the Galari Kingdom.

Lefit believes that if the Galari Kingdom is given a few more years, under the leadership of the little prince, they will usher in glory again!

"No." Ivan shook his head.

Lefit's excited heart suddenly cooled down.

After all, they are heavenly soldiers and generals from the navy. How could they condescend to lead them to fight?

Before Lefit was completely disappointed, Ivan said: "I want you to participate in the battle independently!"
