Chapter 128 It seems... there is hope!
In this way, 16-year-old Lex and 40-year-old Camus met!
The two walked out of the pub.
From the conversation, Lex has learned Camus's identity.
——The commander of this war zone is a colonel!
But when Lex asked who Camus' superior was.
Camus laughed at himself:
"Ha.....I don't have any superiors. I am the boss of this war zone. How about that? Awesome, right? Hahaha, follow me. Maybe you will be rich and prosperous in the future~!"
Lex didn't care about Camus' constant attempt to "trick him into joining", but just pondered over Camus' previous words:
"What do you mean by no superior? Are Pentletes now fighting separately?"
".....Um."
Camus was followed by several soldiers. Their uniforms were as worn out as Camus's, and even the flintlocks in their hands were covered with scratches.
Camus further explained:
"The stupid king absconded and took all the wealth of the royal family and the country to the Kingdom of Vodka!"
Lex interrupted and asked:
"Didn't they say the royal family was going to immigrate to Marijoa? Why did they go to the Vodka Kingdom?"
Camus curled his lips:
"What he told the World Government was that after the Four-Nation Alliance completely conquered Pentles, they would plunder all the wealth and turn us all into slaves, and then use these bargaining chips to exchange for the immigrants Marijoa."
At this moment, Lex felt a little admiration for Camus for the first time, and felt a deep sadness for the soldiers behind him, some of whom were young and some were old.
What do you mean?
These resistance forces, which were "stubborn" to the bones, fought desperately to resist enemies that outnumbered them by several times in order to prevent themselves, their families and friends from being turned into slaves and sold!
This reason is enough for anyone to fight to the death!
No wonder, Lex rarely saw a unit so united and so selfless, and rarely saw an army leader like Camus.
Because the motivations are different!
The Kingdom of Vodka launched wars against other countries and invaded Pentles for profit, while the former king of Pentles, Lee Sister, did so to survive.
The people of Pentletes did not want to be slaves!
"Our battle zone is mainly defending against the attack from the Vodka Kingdom, and everyone is on their own."
"Because the top leaders have all fled. They have resources that we don't have. They are either colluding with the enemy or looking for other ways out. Anyway, I am the boss here now!"
"There are also different local armies fighting on several other islands in the Pentletes Archipelago. Generally, they don't have much contact with each other, but they will definitely unite when necessary!"
Lex nodded slightly.
An idea emerged in his mind, and Lex was constantly considering the feasibility of this idea!
Ten-year plan: business? military? war?
right! ——
War mongering!
Lex, who is only 16 years old, is not pure in heart. We cannot say that he is very dark, but we can only say that he is too scheming.
When he learned about Pentles' situation.
After meeting Colonel Camus and seeing these battle-hardened veterans behind him.
Ok.
I have a bold idea!
Why not use this country to complete part of the ten-year plan?
Although there is still some time before the top war that he planned, and although the New World has not yet changed its name to Leon.
Although the ten-year plan has not yet begun, his own strength is not even at the emperor level.
But what does that matter?
Rocks is dead!
My uncle is the Golden Lion!
Dad is Whitebeard!
The master is the Red Earl!
The new world is your own back garden!
Although she is being watched by the World Government all year round, she cannot take too many actions against Mary Joa.
but--
There's no harm in secretly supporting a Pentles, right?
The idea came to me quickly and could not be suppressed.
A hint of determination flashed in Lex's eyes:
"Camus, do you have enough ammunition?"
When Camus heard this, his years of war experience gave him a keen intuition, and he immediately asked back:
"You have a connection?!"
"Have!"
...............
-
-
In front of the camera.
The current leader of Pentles, Colonel Camus, raised his hand and signaled for everyone to be quiet.
The whistling sound that echoed throughout the island gradually subsided.
But everyone's eyes were more passionate than ever before!
Because the content of Lord Lex's letter revealed a message:
Pentles, it's finally time to repay Lord Lex!
Camus continued:
"Before, I could only provide you with some weapons and send some secret forces. Due to some obstacles, I was unable to participate in the war myself."
"But now, I can tell you with confidence: Go ahead and make a fuss! Travel the New World at will. No matter which country you are from, nothing will stand in your way! Carry my name on your back and ride freely across the blue sea!"
When Gut heard Camus read out Lex's inflammatory words, the corners of his mouth curled up along with everyone else's, Pentles, the help from many years ago is beginning to pay off!
.............

-
When Lex replied "yes", Camus's eyes changed instantly.
Instead of becoming friendly, he looked alert!
"Who are you?! Let me tell you, we in Pentleras are not afraid of any enemy, and we don't have any extra war money for you to earn!"
It seems that Camus mistook Lex for an arms dealer.
Yes, in the past six months, countless arms dealers have approached Camus to sell their arms.
But all of them were rejected by Camus.
the reason is simple.
Because Camus has no money!
Pentles had already become impoverished under the abuse of its former king, Lee Sister, and the war over the past year or so had left the land in ruins and its people displaced.
You know, behind the army led by Camus are the remaining elderly, the weak, women and children!
Everyone was very poor and used their few savings to support the soldiers on the front line.
Because every soldier comes from every family in the rear!
That's why, when Camus, the king, read Lex's name.
Everyone in Pentleres, whether they were veterans or ordinary women and children, shouted Lex's name at the top of their lungs!
Lex funds the army, but behind the army are thousands and thousands of families!
Lex didn't get angry when he heard Camus' interrogative tone, and continued to smile:
"I am not an arms dealer, and I don't have ready-made arms for you."
".....But you just need to know that I have power beyond your imagination, that's enough!"
After saying that, Lex drew out the Wanqing Yukong from his waist.
Instantly, all the soldiers around had grim expressions on their faces, and pointed their flintlock rifles at Lex.
However, Lex slowly turned his back to them and swung his sword:
"K. Destroying God. The sea and sky are one color!"
bass--
A huge light blue slash broke through the air.
Boom! ! ——
The hilltops in the distance were shattered!
Lex slowly put away his knife and turned to look at the dazed Camus and the accompanying soldiers behind him:
"Let me introduce you again! Leon Lex! My uncle is the Golden Lion, my master is the Red Earl, my adoptive father is the Whitebeard! My brother is the Wind Swordsman, the Dream Maker! I am now wandering in the New World, looking for my own swordsmanship. I happened to pass by Pentles and was moved by your experience, so I want to do something. Is it okay?"
Lex smiled.
That smiling face, beneath the dust raised behind him and in the dazzling sunlight, caught the eyes of Camus and the veterans behind him.
Camus will remember this smiling face for the rest of his life!
Because it started with this smile——
Pentles, it seems, is saved!!!
