Chapter 233 Ward Mike(1/2)
Just when Seiya and the others entered the king's treasure house, on the other side, the battle between Shang Binqianhe, Will-o'-the-Wisp and Gudli also ended!
Under the ultra-long-range cannon, Gudley's fleet had no ability to resist and was completely destroyed!
Among them, Gudley, who had the strength of a major, struggled for a while when the fleet was destroyed. He swam towards Shang Bin's humble fleet alone, intending to drag several officers to die together, but in the end he was also killed by the same man who had the strength of a major.
Shang Bin Qianhe was beaten to death with a finger tiger!
After receiving the news, Riley didn't feel any excitement.
In his opinion, this is just a relatively ordinary battle!
The main credit for defeating the enemy without damage is due to Arthur. If Arthur hadn't vigorously developed technology and given the country more powerful cannons, victory would not have been so easy!
But the news that followed surprised him, and even made him a little dumbfounded!
Wardmac is dead!
He died just like that?
This news forced him to start discussing with Inoue Yusuke and Uebin Kenwa what to do next!
There's no way around it. Wardmac's death will definitely have some impact on their future plans.
Of course, this impact is good!
It's like you are playing a dungeon and the big boss dies before you clear the first level!
When the big boss dies, the biggest danger no longer exists, and all that's left is to clean up other mobs. The difficulty of the dungeon must have dropped a lot!
Afterwards, the news he received gave Riley a new idea.
He didn't expect that Ward Mike actually had a stand-in!
I still have this devil fruit!
The controllable space is huge!
Well...it seems pretty good to have the king of an enemy country working as an undercover agent!
Leiris even had an idea to simply give up this war and directly let Ward Baker take over, which would not conflict with their original purpose.
But he thought about it carefully and gave up!
The reason is twofold!
First of all, now that the battle is like this, if we give up again, it will be a bit bad and it will hurt the morale of the soldiers!
Secondly, although Wardback's fruit ability is useless in battle, it is still very useful in war!
Sneaking into the enemy's country to search for intelligence, or directly pretending to be the opponent's minister to interfere with their strategic actions is very good. Moreover, with his sincere attitude, it is relatively easy to control. If he just wastes it here,
It always feels a bit worthless!
After receiving the news, Riley immediately called Ue Inoue Yusuke, Ue Bin Ken, and many other officers for a conference call!
Afterwards, he thought about it and asked Inoue Yusuke to call Ward Baker!
In Leiris' opinion, Ward Baker must know more about the situation in the Ward Kingdom than they do, so he called him to see if he could give any good advice!
on deck.
Riley sat on the chair, and on the table in front of him, there was a large circle of phone bugs!
Hathaway stood behind him, her eyes red, and it was obvious that she had cried just now!
The news of Wardmack's death that she had just received made her feel that her great revenge had been avenged. At the same time, she recalled her father and queen, and she couldn't help crying on the spot!
"Bulu Bulu!"
Just then, one of the phone bugs rang.
"Bulu Bulu!"
"Bulu Bulu!"
"Bulu Bulu!"
...
Then all the phone bugs started ringing.
Seeing this, Riley picked up all the phone bugs one by one, and then placed all the microphones in the middle.
Lelis was the first to say to these microphones: "Okay, I think everyone knows what the purpose of the meeting is, so I won't repeat it again. Let the meeting begin!"
Afterwards, the voice of Yusuke Inoue came from one of the microphones, "The current situation is that all the maritime strength of the Ward Kingdom has been destroyed, and three thousand soldiers have died!"
"As for the nearly 3,000 soldiers on Golden Tiger Island and Mammoth Island combined, they can only be trapped on the island because their maritime strength was defeated and they were unable to support them. This is equivalent to being completely destroyed!"
"So, all we have to face now are the two thousand garrison led by Nan De at Ward Port, the ace cavalry of Ward Kingdom, one thousand golden tiger cavalry and five hundred giant elephant cavalry!"
"Although facing such strength, if it is a frontal battle, the 4,500 people on our side may not be able to fight! But... the enemy's king is one of our own!"
"hehe!"
"Ha ha!"
"whee!"
As soon as I heard the last sentence, all the phone calls burst into laughter!
You can tell that everyone is in a good mood!
Of course, this is normal. After all, the enemy's king is one of our own, so there is really no reason to lose!
If you can't find a reason to lose, you will definitely win!
Be happy if you win!
Just laugh when you are happy!
"Okay, let me make the beginning!" Shang Bin's humble voice came from one of the microphones, suppressing all the laughter, "Now, although we have a huge advantage, we cannot directly ask the king to surrender.
, and then let’s take over? This will definitely make people in the Ward Kingdom suspicious.”
"So, I think we should..."
"Wait!" At this time, Ward Baker's voice came out. After interrupting Shang Bin's modest words, he said weakly, "My lord, I think we can surrender directly. In fact, the people of Ward Kingdom also
I don’t really doubt it!”
"Uh...who are you?" Listening to this unfamiliar voice, Shang Binqianhe couldn't help but ask.
"He is Ward Baker!" Yusuke Inoue explained helpfully.
"Oh!" Shang Bin Qianhe suddenly realized. Then, he changed his tone and said seriously, "Keep talking!"
In Shang Binqianhe’s opinion, Ward Baker’s opinions are still of great reference value!
"Actually, Wardmack doesn't really like being a king. Even when he used to be a general, he wasn't happy about it!" Wardbeck said surprisingly.
"oh!?"
Others were a little surprised by this sentence, but they did not interrupt Wardbeck, but pricked up their ears to listen to Wardbeck's explanation!
"Wardmack's dream when he was a child was to be an adventurer, go out on adventures, travel around and see the scenery! But in life, nine out of ten things are unsatisfactory! In the end, he did not treat him as an adventurer!"
"The reason is that more than thirty years ago, when he was thirteen years old, his father, who was once a general of the Kingdom of Whit, died young! And before his death, his father told him
Two things!”
"The first thing is to protect the kingdom, protect the people, and become a general of the kingdom! Therefore, when he was young at that time, he chose to join the army and eventually became the general of the kingdom!"
"Wait!" At this time, Hathaway interrupted him, and she couldn't help but ask, "Since he wants to protect the kingdom and the people, why does he want to usurp the throne?"
"Oh, it's Princess Hathaway!" Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Ward Baker sighed. Back then, when he was playing Ward Mack, he had met Hathaway several times, so he was very fond of her.
The voice is quite familiar!
Later, Ward Baker said with a hint of meaning, "As for why he usurped the throne, there are many reasons. For example, his men wanted him to be the king. For example, his power had reached its peak at that time, so if he wanted to go further,
You can only get to that position!”
"But those are not the main reasons. There are two main reasons! The first is that his mother was about to die at that time! The second is that if he had not resisted at that time, he would have been dead!"
"kindness!?"
These two reasons have made everyone confused, but fortunately, everyone has this patience, so everyone is waiting for Ward Baker's explanation!
"Since his father passed away, his mother has become thinner and thinner because she missed his father too much. Before she was sixty, her life began to run out, and she finally collapsed one night five years ago!"
"Fortunately, Ward Mack hired the best doctor to take care of her at that time, and he managed to help her survive for a few days. But what's the use of just surviving for a few days?"
At this time, in King Ward's palace, the king's bedroom!
"No, doesn't he have the legacy of the Phoenix?" While Ward Baker was talking on the phone, Seiya and the other three were listening behind him, and Seiya couldn't help but question.
"It's useless. Phoenix's things can only heal injuries. This kind of oil is exhausted and cannot be cured!" Ward Baker covered the phone and explained to Seiya in a low voice. Then he picked up the phone and continued,
"At this time, he thought of something, which is the national treasure of the Whit Kingdom, the Pearl of Life! Such a thing can force a person who has run out of oil to live for a while longer!"
"So, at that time, he made a request to the then King of Whit Kingdom, Hathaway's father, but in the end, he was rejected on the ridiculous reason that the national treasure was precious!"
"And the second reason is that the former King of the Kingdom of Whit really wanted to kill him, because he controlled most of the country's troops and had a very high reputation among the people, which had threatened the King's status!
To be continued...
