The island where the Kingdom of Raya is located is a battlefield slightly far away from the 'Fruit Domain'.
At this time, the war stopped for a while, leaving behind a large number of corpses, including soldiers from Dressrosa and those from the Kingdom of Raya wearing simple grass-leaf uniforms.
There was dried or undried blood everywhere on the battlefield.
The weapons fell scattered on the ground, filled with dust and blood. Anyone who looked at this battlefield where the smoke was not yet extinguished would find it tragic.
"We can't fight like this!"
In the camp of Dressrosa's army, an officer slapped the table, "If we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to sustain it!"
"Yeah, what's going on? These people are resisting too fiercely!" Another officer agreed: "In previous conquests, as long as we broke their morale, they would definitely surrender, but why are these people so tenacious? ? It’s not like we destroyed their homes. We haven’t done anything strange except on the frontal battlefield. Isn’t it possible that someone did it without telling us?”
"Impossible. We all know that. King David once said that war is an upright war. Just defeat the enemy. There is no need to do anything despicable." The officer who was the first to slap the table said.
"There are not enough supplies..."
An officer sighed: "It's easy to talk about weapons and so on, but the food is completely insufficient. Although there are fruits in this place, just eating fruits will demoralize our soldiers."
"It's true. There are not enough medicines. The climate here is a bit weird. There are too many diseases and bugs. Some diseases cannot be cured at all. The jungle here is deeper than our Green Bit." Another officer Also lamented.
They were the army that advanced into the Kingdom of Raya in a three-front battle. The other two armies had already conquered the target islands and towns, but they were the only ones stuck in the quagmire of war.
The people of the Kingdom of Raya don't know what's going on. They seem to have a deep hatred for them and fight them desperately. Even if they exchange one life for another, they want to drag a Dressrosa soldier to hell.
With that kind of bloody war, if King David hadn't accumulated a lot of fame in successive conquests and won the hearts of the army with the title of 'Knight King', they would have fled long ago.
Even so, they also felt inadequate as supplies gradually became scarce.
If the fight continues, they will lose.
"No need to worry."
At this time, the tent was opened and two people walked in.
One of them was equipped with a mechanical leg and felt slightly uncomfortable when walking. The other was a pink-haired girl wearing a military uniform. Her originally cute appearance was now somewhat heroic due to the war.
"Lord Cyrus, Lord Rebecca." The officers stood up and called to them.
Cyrus was the commander of the conquest and the man they trusted.
As early as when King Liku was in charge, Cyrus had already become famous, and many of them knew it.
During several conquests, Cyrus also displayed his combat prowess, convincing the soldiers who joined later.
Most importantly, he was related to King David.
Cyrus and the former king Liku Dold were son-in-law. That man’s eldest daughter married Cyrus, and his youngest daughter Viola married the current King David, who is King David. brother-in-law.
"I got the news that the king will be arriving soon."
Cyrus said to them: "When the king arrives, this war will definitely be over."
To be honest, Cyrus didn't want to fight, but something David said moved him.
"Isn't it good to let other people live the same life as Dressrosa? We are not enslaved, we just want to become an integrated body, so that those who are not living well, those who are oppressed by other evil kings People, become our citizens, are equal and free, and also enjoy love and passion."
This sentence made Cyrus feel that his situation was small.
The words of this famous 'Panza' who seized the throne by force eight hundred years ago made Cyrus feel ashamed.
He did the same.
The gladiatorial arena in Dressrosa is still there, but there are no slaves anymore, so those who become gladiators are all free, they have signed a contract, and they play for their own purposes, whether it is to become famous or to make money. Yes, it is no longer the kind of being forced to play.
In the land that was conquered later, the people there were treated the same as the people in Dressrosa. David squandered the legacy left by Doflamingo, absorbing the advanced elements and eliminating the backward elements. This is The reason why he is loved.
Because everyone is treated equally.
Even these officers are not all from Dressrosa, some or even a large part are people from previously conquered areas.
Except for the sugar issue, Cyrus had nothing against David.
He did everything he said. Even if it was sugar, he didn't hide it, but openly stated his purpose.
It's all about domination.
That upright man who was indeed a 'King of Knights' did what he said.
Even the former king Dold was used by David as a minister without hesitation, managing the country on his behalf without worrying about restoration.
This is Dressrosa, a country that has been restored once, but David doesn't care because he has a more ambitious ideal - world peace.
For this, even if it is stained with blood.
That kind of heart, that kind of talent, that kind of determination to shoulder everything, impressed Cyrus, and he was willing to go forward for him.
"Is the king coming?!"
When the officers heard what Cyrus said, they all became excited.
"No, if the king comes and sees our morale is so low, he will be disappointed. I can't let the king down!"
The officer who spoke still had this mark on his face. He came from a primitive tribal island country on the sea. He lived a life of roughing hair and drinking blood. But after King David came, he brought civilization and hope and accepted it with his own hands. His tribe became a member of the prosperous Dressrosa, not looking down on them at all because of their 'primitive' factor.
Even after discovering his talent for command, he was directly promoted to an officer.
The style of looking at abilities without looking at family background makes many people feel hopeful.
You must know that even among their tribes, those who serve as high priests or leaders must have ancestors who once held their positions.
But Wang didn't care at all.
He didn't want to lower his evaluation in the king's heart for such a king.
"One more fight!"
There was a ruthless look in the officer's eyes, "I will charge and fight again. I must push the front through!"
"Agree! I don't want to disappoint the king either!"
Another officer also said this, and his words aroused the approval of several officers next to him, and they all raised their hands.
"Agree! One more fight. We, Dressrosa, have conquered so many countries and we will never stand still in this country!"
