Chapter 584: Kingdom Alchemist!
Ptolla Region.
Located in the Valley Land northwest of The Empire, it also borders the Alchemy Kingdom.
The overall Landform is typical arid hilly mountainous terrain. Apart from the uneven, bare Loess rocks, no green vegetation can be seen.
The Climate is extremely hot. The Sun here is like a giant Fireball very close to the Ground.
During the day, its Radiance burns the skin, making it hot and painful, which also causes the skin of people who have lived here for a long time to appear dark and yellow.
When it was glorious, this place was still a Kingdom.
At the same time, since ancient times, it has been an important place for long-distance Merchant Caravans from various countries to transit and resupply, making it very prosperous.
Although it no longer has a national name, it has maintained its independent status and retained a unique culture due to its strategic terrain and being sandwiched between two major countries.
The most famous symbol among them is the existence of the 'Underground Royal Mausoleum' of the Ptolla Royal Family. However, due to the presence of Guardians, few people dare to approach and explore rashly.
Yet, in the past few days, hardly any Merchant Caravans can be seen in the entire Ptolla Region. The entire area appears extremely desolate.
This is because a thick Killing Intent permeates the Air.
Its source.
It is precisely the Large Force of the Alchemy Kingdom that suddenly surged in like a tide a few days ago.
Especially when they heard that two 'Kingdom Alchemists' personally led a Large Army of 200,000, it made the merchants even more afraid to stay for a moment, and they hurriedly left with their Goods overnight.
At this moment.
Tall armored Soldiers wearing Silver-White Light Armor, holding Silver Shields, and with White-Sheathed Longswords at their waists guard every corner of the entire hilly mountainous area. Golden Flags printed with the Hexagram Circle Array are planted on multiple high points, facing the scorching Sunlight in the sky.
Each of them has a serious expression, gripping their Sword Hilts tightly, their sharp Gaze constantly scanning the surroundings and the Distance, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Occasionally, strange beast roars and cries can be heard continuously from the depths of the valley, causing unease.
At the same time.
At the foot of the mountain, about less than twenty kilometers from Plato.
There is also a vast Barracks stretching for more than ten miles, composed of densely packed Black Tents.
On the White Flag hanging high in the center, a black Five-Circle Cross emblem is printed.
World Government!
Gathered here are the Third Division of the First Main Battle Legion led by Charlotte Oven and an Auxiliary Legion of about 20,000 Military Strength.
Ten thousand of the Auxiliary Army were Troops that had just arrived two days ago.
So, the Total Military Strength adds up to just over 30,000, which is indeed pitifully small compared to the Alchemy Kingdom on the other side.
But not a single Soldier here believes their side is at a disadvantage.
The confidence of the Main Combat Soldiers comes from their own Strength and their contempt for Otherworlders.
And the confidence of the Auxiliary Soldiers comes from the Strength of the former and the Influence/Power of the World Government.
Moreover, if they were to truly discuss Military Strength, they might not necessarily have less.
Don't look at this First Main Battle Legion, the total number of personnel is only 50,000.
But Sakazuki, as an Army General, has the Authority to Mobilize an unlimited number of Auxiliary Legions at any Time.
The 'Canberra Continent' in the 'Titan World' was originally intended as a front-line Base Camp for the Conquest of Otherworlds.
However, the Efficiency of transporting troops is limited by the Size of the Star Gate.
Although the Shrinking Tunnel has improved Efficiency to a certain extent, it is still only eight meters wide at the end of the day.
For troop mobilization involving tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand Military Strength, it still requires a very long Time.
"Oven, Admiral Akainu sent News. The Air Force Unit is Ready and can provide you with air Support at any Time. You guys can start the Combat over there."
Inside the Central Army Main Tent, Charlotte Oven saw Bullet saying this on the Virtual Screen, and his eyes immediately burst with real flames. He laughed excitedly.
"That's great! I've been so stifled these past few days. I've long wanted to see what this so-called Alchemy is all about!"
Bullet, who was in the Castle of Sekka Fortress, grinned.
"Indeed. Remember to have someone keep the Transponder Snail Footage stable. There are quite a few Big Shots in the rear who also want to see Alchemy."
"Also, be careful. On the Battlefield, Haki must protect your entire body at all times. Don't get ambushed!"
He went to great lengths to recruit Oven into his Legion in the Future, even using such earnest words to instruct him.
"Yes, Vice Admiral Ghost Shark!"
Charlotte Oven could also feel the goodwill in Bullet's words.
However, he had no intention of resisting, because compared to Sakazuki, he truly preferred Bullet.
This is because Sakazuki, more or less, shows a condescending Attitude towards those of them with Pirate Origin.
But these people are also arrogant. How could they do something like offering a warm face to someone else's cold backside?
If you look down on me, I look down on you even more!
Right now, it's because the Army Headquarters only has Sakazuki as an Admiral, so there's no choice.
But after the three Admirals are assembled in the Future, there will be more options, and Bullet's Talent and Strength have a very high chance of being one of them.
Of course.
Sir Crocodile, who is also an Army Admiral Candidate and has Pirate Origin, is also a good choice.
However, Charlotte Oven's fierce Personality prefers a Superior like Bullet.
Thirty minutes later.
As Charlotte Oven issued the Division Commander's Order, the black military camp stretching for more than ten miles surged. Everyone entered Combat state immediately, and the soaring Killing Intent spread and diffused.
The first to erupt.
Naturally, it was the Armored Group of the Auxiliary Legion.
Nearly a thousand Black Tanks, their entire bodies gleaming with a dark metallic sheen, with a white Five-Circle Cross emblem printed on their front Armor, roared as the vanguard.
Behind them, Black Trucks equipped with heavy Armor carried Battalions of Auxiliary Soldiers inside, following closely.
Finally came the Officers and Soldiers of the Main Combat Division, each riding Heavy Motorcycles.
Smoke and Dust billowed, the Ground rumbled, like a torrent, the sound like thunder!
Accompanied By the Roar of their engines, the Large Army of 30,000, like the Underworld black water swallowing everything, continuously spread and approached the Ptolla Region to the west.
On the other side.
The Large Army of the Alchemy Kingdom had actually constructed a high wall twenty meters tall and five meters wide, along with a City Gate, on the Plain outside the hills.
Large-Caliber Cannons on the City Wall Top pointed directly at the horizon to the east.
And in front of the City Wall were three Infantry Phalanxes of ten thousand men each, poised and silent.
Clearly, they did not want the World Government's Troops to directly enter the hilly area of Plato.
After all, they hadn't even engaged in direct Combat yet.
"An Otherworld Large Army that has already conquered three Worlds, huh? It's truly exciting. What do you think, Hugh?"
Above the City Gate, a brown-haired man who appeared to be past middle age, wearing a White Robe with complex red Markings, looked out at the desolate Plain that was about to become a Battlefield and said with emotion.
"Mr. Feng, compared to Excitement, I feel more of an overwhelming Pressure."
Another man who appeared slightly younger, with black hair and blue Markings printed on his White Robe, answered calmly with his hands in his Pockets.
"From a Reason perspective, the other side has the Foundation of three, oh no, four Worlds. At least in terms of Resources and Population, they are incomparable to our World."
"Furthermore, their Regime is unified, while ours..."
Just as Feng felt Hugh's words were boring and was about to turn his Head to retort, he suddenly heard the other person say in a deep voice, "They're here!"
"Hmm?"
Feng quickly looked up.
Indeed, black dots began to appear moving on the other side of the Plain, followed by a rumbling roar that was carried to their ears by a gust of Wind.
