MTLNOVEL Chapter 125: A War That Is Hard to Stop
Outside the royal capital, Alubarna, countless King's Army and Rebel Army soldiers were engaged in a fierce battle, with bodies strewn everywhere and blood flowing like rivers.
"Kill them! Take back our rain!"
"Damn Cobra! You don't deserve to be our King!"
"You are a cruel and selfish King!"
Facing the King's Army's full-scale suppression, the less-equipped Rebel Army suffered heavy casualties. Kohza, the leader of the Rebel Army, had his eyes completely consumed by anger and hatred. They, the Rebel Army, surrounded Alubarna simply to force the king to stop taking rain from other cities. However, Cobra not only refused to yield or admit his mistakes but also launched a full-scale war against them.
Kohza completely discarded any lingering friendship he had for Princess Vivi, leading the Rebel Army to counterattack recklessly. This selfish King, Cobra, was beyond saving. In that case, there was no need for this royal family to exist.
"Charge!"
Kohza led the elite cavalry of the Rebel Army, spearheading the charge and fighting their way into the King's Army's ranks.
"You ignorant people!"
"Fools!"
"For Alabasta, for King Cobra, annihilate these foolish Rebel Army soldiers!"
The King's Army also erupted with high morale; they knew how wronged they and their king were, as they had never taken rain from other cities. But these ignorant people simply wouldn't listen. These Rebel Army soldiers deserved to die! Both sides fought with increasing frenzy, unleashing monstrous resentment and killing intent. Everyone believed they were on the right side. For the country and its people, they had to fight to the death.
The 600,000 well-equipped King's Army clashed fiercely with the 1,000,000-strong Rebel Army, armed with various weapons, and even gained a slight upper hand. The death rate of the civilian Rebel Army was far higher than that of the King's Army. In just a few hours, the Rebel Army suffered over 100,000 casualties, while the King's Army also lost 30,000 to 40,000. Regardless of whether they were the King's Army or the Rebel Army, they were originally people of the same country, yet now they were fighting desperately over rain.
The chief agents of Baroque Works watched the tragic battlefield from the high city walls, their expressions all very grave. Such a large-scale war, even if Mr. 1, the Dice-Dice Fruit user, were to participate, he might still be exhausted to death. Miss Goldenweek and Miss Valentine, the two girls, already looked a little unbearable and pale. Having them carry out assassination missions and deal with a few enemies didn't bother them much. But this kind of bloody war, with tens of thousands of casualties, made them uncomfortable.
"Inflicting heavy casualties on the King's Army and Rebel Army is not our goal; let the fighting between the two sides slow down a bit."
"Our mission is to intercept any potential Goa powerhouses."
Miss Doublefinger and Mr. 3 reminded Mr. 2, who was disguised as King Cobra. Now, both sides had truly ignited, fighting to the death, which did not align with their plan. They still needed these soldiers to drive away powerhouses like Kael.
"Then let's sound the gongs for a temporary truce and fight again later."
Mr. 2, with a serious expression, felt that the advice of these two 'strategists' was good and was about to issue an order to pause the war. However, everyone suddenly looked up at the sky, their expressions drastically changing. That floating battleship had indeed arrived.
"The people of Goa Empire are here!"
"Quick, tell those commanders to change their attack targets!"
One by one, the chief agents of Baroque Works moved to complete the interception mission given by Crocodile. However, they were also afraid now. After all, the notorious reputation of the One Emperor and Two Marquises of the Goa Empire was truly terrifying.
The spies hidden on the battlefield, upon receiving the order, began to act. "The cruel Emperor of the Goa Empire is coming to help Cobra! Quickly shoot them down!" Large numbers of Baroque Works spies incited the Rebel Army to deal with the support from the Goa Empire.
Meanwhile, on the King's Army side, the fake King Mr. 2 issued orders, also launching an attack on the floating battleship. "Goa Empire wants to take advantage of the chaos! In the name of the king, repel them!" One by one, the executive commanders embedded in the King's Army received orders and shouted them out. This caused both sides, who were engaged in fierce battle, to draw out a large number of troops to deal with the flying battleship.
The Rebel Army was a bit confused as to why the King's Army would attack the powerhouses of the Goa Empire, who were coming to help the tyrant Cobra. The King's Army was also a bit confused; had these Rebel Army soldiers become smarter, even knowing to deal with outsiders who were taking advantage of the chaos first? Both sides, with a tacit understanding, dealt with the floating battleship of the Goa Empire.
