Chapter 96
In the desert, one silhouette is moving fast, and a cloud of sand is rising behind him.
Lynn is running wild.
If you walk with your legs, it will only take about half an hour from the Mausoleum of the King to Albana, so you can get there in about ten minutes at the speed of Lynn's rush.
Forget the time, the beast wave from Skypiea will arrive in Albana in about ten minutes.
Once the tide of beasts reaches Albana completely, the evolved beasts will spread in a very short period of time. At that time, countless beasts will be raging everywhere in Albana, Lynn alone It can't be solved at all!
There is only one road for the beast tide from Skypiea to Albana, and that is the passage made by Golden Lion, which is also the only node that the beast tide must pass through.
Lynn's idea is simple and straightforward. He wants to reach Albana before the beast wave comes, and block the beast wave at the end of the passage!
As for the tomb of the first king? When Crocodile said his proposal, Lynn had already guessed his general plan—
Isn’t it just trying to grab the head?
But if he can hold down the Golden Lion and buy time for himself to solve the animal tide, then he is free.
"I hope Yaqianyi will not produce any moths."
Lynn took a deep breath, and the whole person speeded up again, moving towards Albana and rushed away.
"Otherwise, he or Golden Lion..."
"No one can run!"
......
Time goes back a few minutes ago, when the channel connecting Skypiea and Albana was just formed.
Lynn's judgment is undoubtedly accurate.
Once the beast wave comes to Albana, it will inevitably spread instantly.
When the time comes, no matter how the battle wins or loses in the Mausoleum of the first kings, Albana will fall completely. The number of kings guarding inside is not enough to eliminate all the beasts, and countless people will die as a result.
The only way is to block them at the end of the passage, the only node, before the tide of beasts descends!
As Alabasta’s Kingdom Guard Captain, Icarim quickly realized this.
He immediately summoned the remaining king army in Albana to gather at the end of the passage, and in order to guard against the unexpected, he also arranged for the evacuation of civilians.
However, Alabasta is, after all, a country that has been peaceful for decades, with a small number of standing troops, and they are scattered all over the country.
At the same time, a large part of the king's army stationed in Albana was transferred to the tomb of the first king by Cobra. Excluding the part of the evacuated civilians, only two thousand king's army can participate in the battle.
The end of the passage that descended from the sky was on the northwest side of Albana. Two thousand kings gathered here. They held the spears in their hands tightly, and their faces sank like water.
The earth is shaking.
After having several points of bell, they will trifling two thousand people to face the thousands of beasts.
Although they haven't faced each other head-on, the king's army has seen the strangeness of the beasts from Telescope. They are by no means ordinary lions and tigers, but completely monsters!
"Hateful, the troops are seriously insufficient..."
Icarim’s browse tightly knit, Cobra gave him the task of guarding Albana before he left, but He didn't have the slightest confidence to hold here now.
At this moment, a small silhouette came to Icarim's side.
"Come on, Iqalem."
"Vivi Princess?" Iqalem was taken aback, and said quickly: "You should evacuate with the others. It’s right, it’s too dangerous here, you go!"
"Icarim, where should we go?"
Vivi pulls Ika Lime's hand, struggling to say with a straight face: "Albana, this is our home."
be that as it may, but Icarem noticed that Vivi's hand was shaking.
It's the same as before on Reverie!
Icarem couldn't help but sigh silently.
In Reverie not long ago, Wapol Bo, the faint king of the Drum Island Kingdom, angered Vivi because Cobra opposed his proposal in the meeting, and deliberately kicked her while walking.
For civilians, this should be a trivial matter, but Vivi, as a Royal Family, this incident happened during Reverie. If it is not handled well, it will become a conflict between countries, and then The outbreak of war.
In order to prevent Alabasta from falling into the flames of war, the young Vivi deliberately said that he accidentally fell down, concealing what Wapol Bo did and avoiding the dispute between the two countries.
Although Cobra didn't know the truth, the accompanying Icarim witnessed the whole thing.
At that time, he realized that the little Princess beside him had a maturity that was not in line with his apparent age.
And he is also convinced that one day, the little Princess will eventually become a great king.
"Really, you want to stay here."
Icarim sighed, knowing that he can't stop the stubborn Vivi.
"Please be careful!"
But he turned to notice another thing, "You just said,'we'?"
" Yes,'we'."
Vivi nodded, and then there was a sound of footsteps from the rear of the king's army.
Everyone looked back and found that it was a part of Albanian civilians who were supposed to be evacuated with the large forces.
They are holding weapons in their hands and wearing armor. They are all equipment stored in the palace treasury.
Icarim couldn’t help being stared wide-eyed, "You..."
"Captain of the guard, don’t underestimate people!"
One The farmer carried a spear and grinned and said with a smile: "Albana is our home, and people have been bullied to our door, so it can be tolerated? Big guy, what are we going to do?"
"Fuck him!"
The crowd behind the farmer shouted.
"No!" Icarim browses tightly knit and ordered: "You must evacuate immediately. This will immediately become a battlefield. It is too dangerous for civilians with no combat experience to stay here!"
"Who said we are civilians?" The previous farmer patted his chest, loudly said: "I! Albanala patrol group!"
hearing This, Icarim was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what the farmer meant--
They were militiamen.
The so-called street patrol group is just a group of volunteers that's all organized spontaneously by a group of passionate youngsters. They train spontaneously and even occasionally invite the Instructor of the King's Army to give guidance.
Usually, the patrol group is mainly responsible for regulating the conflicts in the neighborhood, occasionally catching a few thieves, and helping rescue the kittens trapped on the roof.
There are not many members in a patrol group, but the total number of patrol group members on every street in Albana cannot be ignored.
"Usually we say that we only take care of nosy. Now that we finally have the opportunity, we can't let it go easily, right brothers?"
"Oh! Right!"
The militiamen of the patrol regiment shouted.
"Speaking of which..."
The farmer turned his head and looked to his side. There was a gray-haired, rickety old man standing there.
The uncle is also holding an iron sword at this time, ready to fight.
The farmer couldn't help but persuade: "Uncle, don't join in the fun!"
"Smelly brat, who is your uncle? I'm not old yet!"
p>
The uncle's eyes widened, and an amazing imposing manner erupted, and the farmer was so scared that he couldn't help but stepped back, then he turned his head and slowly spit out a word to Icarim:
"Alabasta Third Corps, Griffin Troops, veterans."
Everyone reacted instantly.
Most of the people who come here are militiamen from various street patrol groups. In addition to them, there are a small group of elderly people, about five-six hundred people, including Big Mom. Most of them are wearing King's Army standard equipment that has been eliminated.
It was a souvenir that they were allowed to keep when they were discharged.
They are veterans of Alabasta.
The veteran pointed to his half-missing ears, and taught the farmer: "Smelly brat, I have experience in dealing with wild beasts. I used to be a saber alone, but I killed ten in one night. Three desert wolves!"
The farmer hearing this swallowed his mouth and thought for a long time, but finally he could only say: "Then...Master, pay attention to your body."
"I drink hot water every day, and I am in good health!"
The veteran's beard squatted, and said to Icarim who was already there, "Captain of the guard, I hope you don’t despise us old people. bastard!"
"Of course not, you..."
Icarem looked into the eyes of the group of people, was silent for a moment, and finally was nodded.
The vibration of the earth gradually became apparent, and at the end of the passage, the beast tide finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Icarim took the flagpole from the flag bearer on the side, and slammed it hard on the ground. The flag of Alabasta on it was fluttering in the wind.
He exhausted all his strength and shouted: "Everyone, behind us is our home, we must not let those monsters enter Albana!"
"Oh! "
The king's army has two thousand people, the militiamen and the veterans total about three thousand people, and the five thousand Pang battallion Wu roars together.
Then draw the sword, draw the sword, hold the spear, and prepare for battle!
On the other side, dozens of members of Flying Pirates ride on the beasts that are at the forefront of the tide.
One of the Captains, holding a loudspeaker, shouted to the Alabasta crowd gathered at the end of the passage: "Hey, listen. According to our captain’s order, as long as you put down your weapons, kneel down and hold your arms. If your head surrenders, the beast will not attack you!"
"Hey! Did you hear that! Kneel down and hold your head with your hands. This is the only way to survive!"
" Hey! Are you deaf?"
hearing this, the veteran just took out his ears and muttered: "Does little demon now know how to respect Senior? It's noisy."
p>
The farmer twisted his neck and grinned and said with a smile: "Then what do you say?"
The veteran drew his sword, his whole body seemed to be straightened a bit, and he growled low. Said:
"Copy guy, fuck him!"
Pirate Captain shouted several times with a loudspeaker, but the Alabasta at the end of the passage still held their weapons. A bit of a posture of wanting to kneel and surrender.
Flying Pirates members looked at the end of the passage and found that in addition to a part of the regular king’s army, there were also some loosely queued third-rate troops, and even a group of uncles and Big Moms holding weapons. They couldn’t bear it immediately. Suddenly burst into flames.
Are these Alabasta people crazy? Still look down on Flying Pirates so much?
Must give them some color and see!
At this moment, the giant praying mantis under his hip couldn't help making a commotion.
"Tsk, you monster is safe, don't throw me down!"
Captain's browse tightly knit, I secretly sighed the terrible nature of these monsters.
"The captain and the ship doctor are really amazing monsters!"
When they first established the floating Skypiea, the animals on it were powerful, but quite a few Some of them can coexist peacefully with mankind.
After the "IQ" drug experiment has been carried out for a period of time, the violent nature of those animals has doubled, and their relative sanity has also decreased, and they finally become what they are now. , Can only barely understand simple commands, and sometimes even run away irrespective of the enemy.
And the methods for these Flying Pirates members to protect themselves are completely dependent on another special plant floating on Skypiea, which emits an unpleasant smell to animals, so that animals take the initiative to stay away .
Although that kind of plant is also harmful to the human body, as long as protective measures are taken, there is no need to worry, so Flying Pirates members will also carry gas masks with them as a precaution.
Time is back to now.
"I'm afraid that after a while, these beasts will become real monsters who only know indiscriminate attacks under the catalysis of the potion!"
Pirate Captain rides under his crotch The giant praying mantis, located at the forefront of the animal tide, led thousands of beasts to Albana.
In ten seconds, the forefront of the beast wave will arrive in Albana!
At the same time, the small Den Den Mushi on Pirate Captain's chest remembered the voice of the ship doctor Indygo.
"Are you idiots? This is an experiment, not a massacre! If no one kneels and surrenders, how can I get the stress response data of these beasts to the specified actions!"
"We have already said, Lord Indigo, none of the Alabasta people are willing to follow suit!"
"What? They courting death!" Den Den Mushi's Indigo Yelled: "Then teach them a lesson, make them fear, and then force them to do the same. The important thing is the experimental data. You must get the experimental data, understand!"
"Okay, Indy Lord Ge!"
Pirate Captain nodded, the ship doctor has a high status on their ship, so he must follow suit.
"Go!" Captain yelled at the Pirates around him.
On the other side, Icarim looked at the beast tide that was about to reach the end of the passage and waved his hand, loudly said:
"The King’s Army is responsible for resisting the first wave of frontal impact. The rest are responsible for clearing out the beasts that rushed into the back of the team. We have the advantage of the terrain. We must intercept them here and we must not let them enter Albana!"
"Yes!" Everyone Gao call.
Icarim clenched the spear in his hand and guarded Vivi behind him.
The animal tide is getting closer.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...
bang!
The front part of the beast tide and the king who is waiting The armies collided together, and the battle reached a fever pitch almost instantaneously.
Relying on the advantage of the terrain, the kings in the first row set up heavy shields to resist the impact of the beast tide, while the kings in the back pierced their spears from the gaps in the shields, looking for opportunities Kill it.
"Stand up!"
"Continue to charge!"
Whether Pirate or the king's army, both sides are shocked at how powerful each other is.
The king's army didn't expect the impact of the beast tide to be so intense, the power of those beasts reached an abnormal level, they had never faced such a fierce monster!
And the Pirates are surprised that those Alabasta people relying on the advantage of the terrain, can actually withstand the impact of the beast wave!
A few beasts rushed through the direction of the king’s army, and they were also besieged by the militia and veterans behind. Relying on the terrain advantage, Alabasta just trifling five thousand people to carry the tide of beasts. The first wave of offensive.
"Captain, we can't make it!" a Pirate called.
"Hey, a group of people not knowing the immensity of Heaven and Earth, all courting death!" Pirate Captain gloomy face, the praying mantis under the patted body, roared: "If you can't rush over, just Another way!"
After that, the giant praying mantis spread its back wings and flew up.
"I wonder if we still have beasts that can fly!"
Pirate Captain glanced from a high altitude, and quickly fixed his eyes on the blue-haired Little Princess.
"The old man and the miscellaneous army are also that's all. Now even the little child dares to go to the battlefield. I'm really despised!"
Pirate Captain draw a battle blade, control the body The mantis underneath aimed at Vivi's direction and rushed over.
"Take you first!"
The mantis swooped down with his forelimbs, and facing the beast that fell from the sky, the formation of the king's army quickly reacted .
"Pay attention to the top!"
bang!
The giant praying mantis fell to the ground, waved his sickle-like forelimbs and chopped arbitrarily. It was soon in the king’s army. A hole was torn in the formation.
"hahahaha, worthy of being a reinforced giant Insect, its power is far greater than ordinary lions and tigers!" Pirate Captain said with a big smile.
At the same time, Indigo urged in Den Den Mushi: "Stop playing, let the group of Alabasta people cooperate, this is a research, understand!"
"Yes, I see, Lord Indiego." Pirate Captain sighed, he could only finish his work step by step.
He quickly targeted Vivi not far away.
"She was well protected by the commander, probably a very important person, so let her be a hostage first to threaten the group of Albastas!"
After making up his mind, Pirate Captain controlled the giant praying mantis under him to attack Vivi.
When I saw this, Icarim turned his spear sideways and prepared to deal with the upcoming attack.
At that moment, one silhouette broke through the Alabasta's rear defense line, and the leg raised kicked on the head of the praying mantis.
Only a muffled sound of "peng" was heard, the praying mantis was kicked flying directly, and the whole body was hit by several beasts one after another, and one head fell into the ground.
On the other side, the Pirate Captain was also grabbed by that silhouette and held it high.
"Okay, okay, okay, you guys are going too far."
Lynn Barek grinned and glanced at every Flying Pirates member present. And every beast.
"In that case..."
Lynn pushed Pirate Captain to the ground, then lifted his right leg high, the angle of the two legs almost became a straight line.
Immediately afterwards, he aimed his heel at Pirate Captain on the ground and slammed it down!
"You all knee down for me!"
bang!
