The Black Throne of One Piece

The territory of the Drum Kingdom is actually not very large, only 100,000 square kilometers, and because it is a winter island, there are few places where people can live a good life. In addition to insufficient food production, the population is relatively small, even if you count the recent years. The population of foreigners, which has exploded in number, does not exceed 6 million.

　　 There are three cities in the Drum Kingdom with a population of more than one million.

The most populous city is undoubtedly the Port of Villia. The actual permanent population of this port city now serving as the base of the rebels has exceeded 2 million. It is precisely because of such a strong population base that Gilbert can have enough Source of strength.

The second is the royal city of Cassia. It is the transportation core of the Drum Kingdom by being an inland center and a railway line extending in all directions. In addition, it is the capital of the Drum Kingdom. The actual long-term population of this city is about 1.5 million people.

　　 Once again is the Port of Rhodes, the actual long-term population is about 1 million,

However, compared with the powerful gangs in the port of Vilia, which can be united, the gangs in the port of Rhodes, the second largest port in the Drum Kingdom, are very weak. The main defensive force here is the king's army, but the king's army lacks similar forces. Mu, Reggie, and Dass are as powerful as the needles of the sea, so they are often harassed by pirates here.

　　 In order to fight against pirates and maintain a good external communication channel, Gresham established the only navy in the Drum Kingdom, the King’s First Navy.

　　 In fact, the Drum Kingdom is also a country that is deeply poisoned by pirates. Coastal cities are often attacked by pirates, and sometimes even captured by pirates, who use this to attack inland towns.

The Port of Ville is only one of the most special in the Kingdom of Drum. Gilbert was able to stand against the crowd, carrying domestic pressure, and let the official and the gang fight against the pirates. This allowed him to rule the Port of Ville. He quickly embarked on the road of prosperity and strength, and laid a solid foundation for him to rebel.

More than a decade ago, the actual permanent population of the Port of Vella was only about 500,000. Now that there is such a large population, it is entirely because it was a super stable, safe and economically prosperous city that was extremely rare in the era of the big pirates. The result of the continued attraction of the foreign population.

　　 There is no doubt that the Port of Vella, the City of Cassia and the Port of Rhodes are the most important cities in the Drum Kingdom, which can be said to be the specific expression of the Drum Kingdom’s national strength.

　　 In addition to the three major cities, the Snowstorm in the interior is also a very important city in the Drum Kingdom.

　　 The resident population of this city is only about 500,000, but as the largest military industrial base of the Drum Kingdom, it is the military powerhouse of the Drum Kingdom. Whoever masters this place will have the confidence to explode quickly.

　　 It is for this reason that Gilbert chose to take down the Snowstorm at all costs.

　　 For this reason, the Blizzard Legion, the elite army in his hand, lost more than 3,000 people.

　　 In the past two months, the king's army led by Gresham has been trying to recapture this military powerhouse, but unfortunately it has not been able to do so.

　　 Now this military powerhouse has been firmly in the hands of the Blizzard Legion and the Snowstorm Legion in Gilbert's hands.

There are three legions in Gilbert's hands. The most elite is the Blizzard Legion, which has an organization of 10,000, followed by the Blizzard Legion, which has an organization of 10,000. It is the Reserve Corps of the Blizzard Legion, and once again defends the Port of Villia. The legion is organized into five thousand people.

And Gresham led a total of four troops, the most elite is the King’s Army First Corps, with an organization of 10,000, stationed in the royal city of Cassia all the year Stationed at the port of Rhodes, once again the Second Army of the King’s Army, with an organization of 20,000, stationed in Snow City all year round.

　　 Finally, there is the First Navy of the King’s Army, with an organization of 3,000 people. There are ten warships purchased from the navy of the world government and stationed in the port of Rhodes all year round.

　　 In terms of strength alone, the king's army led by Gresham was originally 2.5 times the rebel army led by Gilbert.

However, since the Second Army of the King’s Army was annihilated by the Blizzard Legion with its superior numbers and occupying the fortified city, the combat effectiveness demonstrated by the Blizzard Legion has greatly weakened the number of King’s Army. Syracuse, a military powerhouse, obtained a large number of weapons and began to explode quickly. There was no obvious difference in the balance of power between the two sides.

　　 In terms of morale, the rebels are even better.

　　...

　　 "Boom boom~"

　　 At night, outside the Snowstorm City, a small-scale battle is taking place, gunshots are everywhere, and the sound of fighting roars in the squally wind.

　　 Although Snowstorm is said to be a major military location, it is not a major grain production area. It must be brought in from other places.

　　 In fact, due to the environmental conditions of the Drum Kingdom, it is not destined to be a large grain-producing country, and even a large amount of grain needs to be purchased from abroad. Otherwise, the population of the Drum Kingdom now seriously exceeding its own grain-producing capacity will definitely cause severe famine.

　　 Now that the Blizzard Legion and the Snowstorm Legion have been stationed in the Snowstorm, the city has begun to fall into a food crisis.

　　Especially, the First Army of the King's Army and the Third Army of the King's Army successively mobilized half of their troops to besiege the city and block the food passage. The food crisis in the Snowstorm has become even greater.

　　 As a last resort, Gilbert can only order the Blizzard Legion and the Blizzard Legion to send troops to fight against the King's Army from time to time.

It’s just that Noland, the commander-in-chief of the King’s Army, was very sensible and did not choose to fight the rebels. Self-defeating.

　　 So, the two armies started a large number of small-scale battles around the grain road in Snowstorm.

　　 Now, a grain transport team guarded by a rebel army with a number of about a hundred people was discovered by the king's scouts, which attracted a king's army squad of about the same number. The two sides fought fiercely in the wind and snow at this time.

　　 During the battle, a certain battle group affected the hearts of the soldiers on both sides. Only three rebels were besieging an ensign of the King’s army dressed as a nobleman.

　　 These three rebels are no different from other ordinary soldiers in terms of clothes alone, but their strength is far more than ordinary soldiers. At first glance, you can see that some of the elites in the army are disguised as ordinary soldiers.

　　 In the case of three-on-one, the three elite rebels are actually at a disadvantage.

　　 "铿铿铿~"

The young ensign of the King’s Army was exquisite in swordsmanship and mastered this powerful fast swordsmanship. A thin sword was in his hands like a hurricane~www.NovelMTL.com~ with a heavy epee shadow, he suppressed the three armed with long spears. The elite rebels, if it weren't for these elite rebels, who were wearing sophisticated armor and protecting vital parts, they would have been killed by the ensign of the king's army.

　　 "I'm so disappointed, didn't the three of you pretend to be ordinary soldiers just to deal with me? That's the strength."

　　 The Second Lieutenant of the King’s Army suppressed the three opponents with a quick sword, while sarcastically speaking blankly.

Hearing the ridicule of the enemy, the three scarred elites of the rebels were also miserable. They were indeed ordered to ambush the new star of the king’s army, but no one would have thought that the power of the three men was not the other party. Opponent.

　　 "Huh, get in the way!"

　　 Suddenly, a red light flashed in the eyes of the ensign of the King's Army, his face instantly cooled down, and then he gave a cold snort.

　　 In the next moment, the ensign of the King’s Army used Juhezhan to repel the three rebels for a certain distance, and then used a thin sword to smash several deadly bullets from behind.

Seeing that their bullets were stopped, the rebel gunmen who were hiding behind the tree and firing cold guns at the back of the ensign of the king's army suddenly changed their complexion and quickly turned and fled, but they were used by the ensign of the king's army before they could take a few steps. The revolver on his body was shot with a headshot.

　　 At the same time, the three repelled rebels looked at each other sharply, and immediately took the opportunity to disperse and escape.

What shocked them was that with a gust of cold wind blowing in, the ensign of the King’s Army did not know when he had already appeared behind them. At this time, he was slowly putting the thin sword into the scabbard, exhaling a white mouth from his mouth, and speaking slowly. Writing: "Nose Song Three Ding, Dovetail Cut."

As soon as 　　's words fell, the sound of sheathing was heard, and the three elite rebels who had scattered and fled suddenly showed white sword energy on their chests, and then fell to the ground and died.
