The sea calendar is 1522!The eighth day of the straw hat reunion

New World~ Sophie Island, Marceau Knight Kingdom!

……

Alicante is the only coastal city among the three lord cities of Sophie Island. It was the most prosperous city in the Marceau Kingdom decades ago and had the largest free port in the country. There is an endless stream of businessmen from various countries every day. Taxes make other cities jealous.

However, Feng Shui has taken turns. Since offending the Tianlongren and was issued a ban on the sea, Alicante has fallen into the worst city in the kingdom. As a coastal city itself, there is not enough grassland. Naturally, the traditional pastures of the Marceau Kingdom Capacity is limited.

The economic failure of the seaport has formed a terrible vicious circle. A large number of civilians are unemployed and cannot be resettled and rescued, which has further deepened the stability of the city's law and order.
The entire city is almost built decades ago. It is estimated that other cities are not much better. A sea ban almost brought the Marceau Kingdom back to the primitive society.

There are dilapidated and potholed roads under your feet, and there are old buildings in sight. You can imagine the prosperity of the past, and Green can't help but sigh.

After finally getting comfortable with several of his daughters-in-law, he got the chance to go out alone.

Of course, Green also has missions, such as top-level top-secret missions, sneaking into the secret vault of the Marceau Kingdom Library, to see if there is any information about the existence of historical texts.

Now, Green is dressed as a shabby civilian, with a haggard face and disheveled hair, wandering around like a lonely ghost. Such unemployed civilians can be seen everywhere in Alicante.

begging?

stop joking~
Nowadays, apart from the knights, ranchers, and peasants who own farmland in the countryside who can fill their stomachs in front of them, most of the city people who were originally glamorous are mostly in this situation, with houses, furniture, and even money. There are old horse carts and ox carts, but what's the use, these things can't be eaten!
The cows and horses that used to pull the carts have long been eaten up, but now even the rats in the sewers are hard to see.

But what can be done?
Without work, there is no income.

Farming and grazing requires land, grasslands, and seeds.

No one expected that the sea ban would have such serious consequences.

The city of Alicante, which once supported half of the kingdom's economy, quickly fell into disrepair.

"Uncle~ Where are you taking us? Can we have enough to eat? We can do anything~"

Before he knew it, there were a dozen dry radishes following behind Green.

Ok,
Severely stunted, with a big head and a small body, let alone a half-grown boy whose gender cannot be discerned.

I don't know how they survived.

Moved with compassion, he just walked down a street and brought out a small group of children who were supposed to be innocent.

Only then did Green know how happy the second-generation ranch boy who was robbed of his war horse was.

Don't worry about food and clothing, and have enough material foundation to train riding skills, and participate in knight assessment in combat skills.

"Let's go, uncle will take you to eat~"

Green said in a deep voice, the dry food he carried with him has been distributed, looking at more than a dozen pairs of protruding eyes that are empty and praying, he feels a dull pain in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this city has been corrupted to such an extent.

Green decided to go back to the World and change the battle plan!
Let the Marceau Kingdom surrender within three days!

Otherwise, I don't know how many poor people will starve to death every day.

"Okay, I'll arrange it~"

After becoming a mother, Robin couldn't see children starving the most, so she immediately decided to change the original cyclical and gradual plan and directly adopt the most radical plan!

"Xiaoyue (Gallou Luo) immediately sent the information and the changed battle plan back to the country, and asked Han Wangmin to arrange a suitable transformation plan and craftsmen."

"Xiaoxiao, arrange for the Longzhi Trading Company to transport the food as quickly as possible."

"Brother Wang, please lead the navigators to send the chart of Sophie Island back to the Ministry of Domestic Maritime Affairs before tomorrow."

"Lingsha, it is said that the Dragon King ordered the Ministry of War to send a group of soldiers to take ten new warships to escort the craftsmen's food, and prepare to be stationed in the Marceau Kingdom for several years."

"As for Brother Qi, um, act according to the original plan, Lingsha, please let me know~"

Green quickly called a meeting and arranged Robin's new plan for the day after tomorrow.

"Wayuan, Yueming, come with me~ The Dragon Queen stays on the World Number."

Green pondered for a while, but shook his head helplessly after thinking about it, and said with a wry smile, "As for the dozen or so teenagers I brought back, I will also take care of them and stay on the World for now."

The World, no matter how rich the reserve is, is just a ship, and it is tantamount to a dream to help a city.

……

Alicante, the magnificent lord's mansion~
"who!!"

The Grand Knight Commander Christine, who was drinking away her sorrows, suddenly stood up, pulled out the four-meter-long knight sword behind her, and shouted loudly.

Christine is one of the only nine Grand Knight Commanders in the Marceau Kingdom and the only female Grand Knight Commander. She is a middle-aged woman with a burly figure and big eyes.

Green appeared~
(⊙o⊙)...

To be precise, it was with Wa Yuan and Yue Ming who came in through the window~
This is the lord's mansion, and it was discovered long ago when he came in openly.

Domineering is the basis for the survival of the major forces in the new world, and the Marceau Kingdom is no exception. They also master the domineering awakening technology and cultivation methods.

"Hello, Lord Christine, we are foreigners, and I want to talk to you directly about how to revive the harbor city of Alicante."

Christine held up the four-meter-long battle sword, hesitating not to drop it, with a puzzled expression on her face, carefully sizing up Green's group~
Suddenly, Christine showed a bold smile and said, "If you have anything to say, just talk about it, robbery, as far as the current situation in Alicante City, even if I am the lord, I don't have much money. With your strength that can cross the sea, I don't like it either. As for Jie Se, I think I have a good figure, but hey, you probably don't have any special hobbies."

"(⊙o⊙)...Lord Christine, you are so wise~"

I couldn't help applauding and applauding. Choosing the lord of Alicante City as the first object of persuasion was actually the best breakthrough that Robin analyzed based on known information.

Green showed a friendly smile, and directly stated his identity, "Let me tell you the truth, I am Zhao, the prince of the Dragon Kingdom."

"Dragon Kingdom?"

Christine was taken aback, thinking back to the list of more than 200 member countries of the World Government, she had no impression at all, and several thoughts flashed in her mind in an instant, annexation?conquer?
He asked calmly, "A country I have never heard of, is it a new kingdom in the past few decades? The king came in person? I can't think of any resources in the Marceau Kingdom that can attract your country."

Green also couldn't explain the origin of the Dragon Kingdom, and replied vaguely, "Well, it's sort of~"

"As for the resources of the Marceau Kingdom, to put it bluntly, if your king does not win the revocation of the sea ban at the World Conference, I think the collapse of the Marceau Kingdom will only take a few days. I believe Lord Christine will also Feel it, this unstoppable storm."

Christine's face changed drastically. Indeed, no one can guarantee whether the sea ban will be revoked. If it continues to be implemented, the Marceau Kingdom will definitely be in chaos.

At least those unemployed civilians and unwilling nobles will definitely make big things happen.

40 years ago, because of the ban on the sea, a major incident occurred. The Knights of the Round Table family was unwilling to be trapped in a country, and collectively announced their withdrawal from the Marceau Kingdom, and then set sail to sea, which brought extremely serious turmoil to the Marceau Kingdom.

Knights of the Round Table is the honorary title second only to Dragon Knights in the Marceau Kingdom. In the centuries-old history of the Marceau Kingdom, only twelve great knight leaders have won the title of Knights of the Round Table. Second to the lofty status of the royal family.

"What exactly does Dragon Nation want to do?"

Christine shrugged

Today's Marceau Kingdom is indeed undercurrent.

If it weren't for the existence of the spirit of chivalry, the royal family that offended the Tianlong people would have been overthrown long ago.
