Chapter 580: Fear Shockwave!

[Boom!!!]

Vice Admiral Onigumo watched the Gunfire Flash rising in the distance again, finally having his interest piqued by the practical combat performance of 'CR-0'. He turned his head back to look at Vinsmoke Judge.

"Is that 'Shave'?"

"That's right. 'CR-0' is a Cyborg, so as long as he masters the 'Six Powers' before undergoing the Modification Surgery, he can choose whether or not to use them in Combat based on the judgment of the Intelligent System."

Vinsmoke Judge answered while recalling Vegapunk's subsequent upgrade plan for the 'Conqueror'.

This included using Gecko Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit Ability to cut off 'CR-0''s original Shadow and replace it with the Shadow of a Powerhouse skilled in various Martial Arts or Swordsmanship.

This way, 'CR-0' could directly possess exquisite Martial Arts or Swordsmanship.

Also.

He remembered it mentioned transplanting the Intelligent Core of the 'Moon Robot' into 'CR-0''s Body, which would give it stronger Artificial Intelligence.

But the problem lay in how to eliminate those unnecessary emotions and Thought.

After all, as a Weapon, the possibility of not obeying Order was the biggest Hidden Danger and problem. Then there was finding a way to add several more Devil Fruit Ability and so on.

However, if all these ideas were realized.

Then 'CR-0' would no longer be 'CR-0', but 'CR-I' or 'CR-II', 'CR-III'.

"Judging from the current performance, Headquarters Combat Power below the Vice Admiral level is unlikely to deal with this 'Conqueror'. It's much easier to use than those Tank."

Vice Admiral Onigumo gazed at the continuous Explosion and Ball of Fire in the distance and revealed a satisfied Smile. His Observation Haki could clearly perceive that large swathes of Aura were constantly disappearing.

"How many of these things have you made?"

"Currently, there are only two Test Subject. This is the new model among them. Vice Admiral Onigumo, your Mission is to go and perform the Recovery of 'CR-0' immediately if it is defeated by the enemy."

Vinsmoke Judge looked at the 'Conqueror' on the screen, which was slaughtering everything in its path, causing continuous Explosion wherever it went, and revealed a smug Smile.

Because he was not only responsible for cloning Avalo Pizarro's Body but also deeply involved in the work of setting up the internal Shape Memory Alloy Skeleton.

It must be said that doing Research and invention with Vegapunk again was a relatively enjoyable Matter for him.

Because during this process, he could Understand clearly that his Technology level was rapidly improving.

From this perspective.

Although Vinsmoke Judge still wanted to recreate the Glory of the Germa Kingdom, his Scientist attribute was also extremely obvious.

Perhaps even he himself hadn't noticed that he had long since fallen in love with this life of doing Research on Otherworld Materials, Otherworld Technology, and Vegapunk's incredible Black Technology in the Academy of Science.

"When can it be mass-produced?" Vice Admiral Onigumo asked again.

Vinsmoke Judge answered him in a rough, deep tone: "After we finish collecting the Combat Data from this time, we'll go back and make some adjustments, then we can finalize the design for mass production. This won't take long."

"Can it catch up with the Conquest of this World?"

"I cannot give a conclusion on that."

Vice Admiral Onigumo nodded calmly and stopped Speaking, placing his Gaze back on the 'Conqueror' in the distance. When he saw that it had already broken into the area below the Fortress City, he immediately got up and walked out of the spacious military Tent.

"Pass down the Order! Launch a full Offensive immediately! We're spending the night in that Fortress today!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, in front of the Fortress's City Wall, complete Chaos had already erupted.

Large numbers of Guns and Cannons were continuously firing frantically at the 'Conqueror'. Imperial Fist Temple Disciple and Beastman Warrior were also launching wave after wave of attacks, using their respective Extraordinary Martial Arts or Supernatural Ability.

As for the 'Conqueror', it either used 'Shave' to quickly dodge, or shaped Black Substance into Blades, Long Spike, Shield, or even Armor to resist.

At the same time, it fired Light Beam from its mouth and palms, blowing up countless living Human lives.

At this moment, seeing more and more Target approaching, the 'Conqueror' immediately judged that it should use that move to clear the area.

[Buzz]

Suddenly, strands of purplish-blue Energy Aura surged from its Body. When it clapped its palms together heavily in front of itself, there was a Roar, and it turned into circles of Ripple spreading outwards.

"Ugh!"

"What is this? No... don't come near!"

"The Demon! The Demon is here!"

"Ahhhhh, you damned Bugs, all of you go to hell!"

An astonishing scene appeared. Every Human swept by the purplish-blue Ripple, whether ordinary Imperial Soldier, Imperial Fist Temple Disciple, or Beastman Warrior possessing Danger Beast Ability.

All of them immediately showed expressions of extreme Fear. They seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying and fled frantically.

Among them, some individuals with aggressive Personality even launched merciless attacks on their comrades around them.

Chaos!

Great Chaos!

Within a radius of over a hundred meters, there was no Human attempting to continue attacking the 'Conqueror'. This was the Core Strength of a 'Nue' Form Kabaneri.

Fear!

Originally, 'Nue' Warrior merely compressed and gathered it to form Mental Energy Bullet with powerful Destruction.

However, Vegapunk believed that the Strength of Fear, compared to being used for physical Destruction, should be used to destroy the Will of Creature. Therefore, using the Mental Shock of Conqueror's Haki as a Reference, he designed the move 'Fear Shockwave' for the 'Conqueror'.

Now it seemed the Effect was outstanding!

[Whoosh————]

Just at this moment, on the Fortress City Wall Top, which was a full fifteen meters high, a Black Afterimage as fast as Lightning leaped down and struck the Black Armor on the 'Conqueror''s Chest the instant it raised its head.

[Duang!]

With a deafening Loud Noise, the massive-bodied 'Conqueror' was blasted away and then slammed heavily onto the ground twenty meters away.

"Don't look down on Human, you Otherworld Invader Monster!"

A white-haired figure, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a black General Uniform but with a Strange Mask on his face, was seen standing where the 'Conqueror' had just been, holding a peculiar Long Sword.

"Vice Admiral Nahas!"

"Great! Lord Vice Admiral has made his move!"

"Hahahaha, Vice Admiral Nahas is an Imperial Arms User! And that 'Water Dragon Sword' in his hand is also a Ministerial Arms! He'll definitely teach these damned Invader a good lesson next!"

The Officer and Soldiers on the Fortress City Wall Top were all greatly boosted in Morale.

Because Nahas had a very big reputation in the Imperial Army, there were even Rumor that he would be the next Army General in the Future.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, the 'Conqueror' had already stood up. Its Black Armor on the Chest and the Clothing underneath were damaged. Clearly, Nahas's angry strike just now had considerable Power.

And after it lowered its head and glanced at its Chest, the damaged Black Armor began to rapidly recover, but the Clothing couldn't be helped.

[Beep————————]

The 'Conqueror' opened its mouth towards Nahas and began to condense an extremely brilliant Light Beam, which also illuminated the surrounding faces filled with Fear.

At the same time.

On the Battlefield behind, Vice Admiral Onigumo's Main Combat Division and the ten thousand Auxiliary Legion finally launched a large-scale Offensive!

(End of this chapter)

## Chapter 581: Army General Blande!

Tian Shui Mountain Range.

Located only about twenty kilometers from The Empire's Western Border, this continuous mountain range stretches nearly three thousand kilometers from north to south, serving as a natural defense Barrier.

At this moment.

A Large Army with a Military Strength of several hundred thousand was continuously pouring out of the mountains in a mighty flow.

There were hardly any foot Soldiers walking in the ranks, as they were all sitting inside metal boxes with wheels, pulled by Flame Rabbits at the front.

Simultaneously.

Cavalry Units that had spread out were visible everywhere in the nearby fields, patrolling back and forth within a hundred-kilometer radius.

Above their heads.

Maku Falcons came and went in the clear blue Sky, establishing a relatively efficient Intelligence Network with their wings.

In the central area of the entire ranks, two large Flags were hung high. One was printed with The Empire's National Emblem, and the other was a symbol of two silver Spears crossed together.

Below the Flags was a Train Car that was several times wider and taller than the other Troop Transport Boxes, with a relatively exquisite interior decoration. It was pulled by two yellowish-brown Sub-Dragon Creatures.

These were Class 1 Danger Beasts, Earth Dragons.

They were not only over ten meters tall, covered in thick Rock Armor Layers, but also possessed a pair of Claws and Fangs sharp enough to break Metal and Stone, and were extremely skilled at burrowing Underground or residing there for long periods.

"We've finally come out of the Mountain Range. The road ahead will be much easier."

This handsome man with a strange 'airplane' hairstyle, yellow skin, black Pupils, and a hearty Smile on his face was Blande, the Army General of The Empire's Army Unit.

He was naturally also an Imperial Arms User. His Imperial Arms was the Armor-type Demon Armor: Incursio, and his Weapon was the Spear Red-backed Shrike, whose quality was comparable to a Ministerial Arms.

His Melee Combat Strength was publicly recognized as the foremost among the 'Three Great Admirals' in The Empire's Military.

"I wonder how Nahas is doing. Didn't the News sent back earlier say that they had already engaged in battle with those World Government Troops?"

The person speaking was a Beauty sitting on the left side chair of the Train Car. She had waist-length Golden Long Hair, golden-yellow Pupils, cat ears that might or might not be decorative, and an exceptionally majestic figure with prominent curves, full of heroic spirit.

From her black Cape and the two gold stars on her collar, it was clear she was also a Vice Admiral.

However, what was strange was that this Woman wasn't wearing pants on her lower body, or rather, she was only wearing a pair of black briefs, which made her appear extremely Sexiness and alluring.

"What's wrong, Leone? Feeling uncomfortable because your beloved Nahas isn't in your Line of Sight?"

At this moment, a Vice Admiral sitting opposite her, who was taller than the others, jokingly teased her with a playful smile.

Interestingly.

This person wore a black Hat on his head that looked like a swimming cap but completely covered his eyes. The Hat also had a faint golden thread Markings.

"Hahahaha!"

"Huh? Huh!"

"No way, Leone and Nahas are already together? No!!"

For a Time, the Atmosphere, which had been slightly Solemn, suddenly became joyful and noisy.

These Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals, who were usually serious in front of their Subordinates and Soldiers, were now letting loose. Some joked, some complained.

It was simply because Leone's Appearance and Body Size were too excellent; she had long become a rose with thorns in the Army Unit.

"Gu—y—, do you want to spar with me later?"

Leone glared angrily at the other party in embarrassment, raising her Right Hand with yellow beast claws and fiercely threatened.

Her Reaction was strange.

Because her Personality had always been straightforward and generous, carefree and casual, even often initiating adult jokes with others, but now she was showing the appearance of a little Woman.

This caused the Hearts of many Generals present to sink instantly. This Woman has definitely fallen for him!

But thinking about it carefully.

Leone and Nahas together actually seemed quite well-matched.

Nahas's excellence goes without saying, and Leone was also called a Female Shogun whose Strength was second only to Marine Admiral Esdeath by many people. There were very few among those present who dared to say they were Stronger than her.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about the next Arrangement."

Blande wasn't angry either. After letting them talk and laugh for two minutes, before waving his hand and speaking.

As soon as he spoke, the entire place fell silent.

"I have received Orders and need to return to the Imperial Capital first to have an audience with His Majesty. But in order not to miss the opportune moment for battle, you need to continue heading to your respective Defense Zones."

Blande Stand Up, revealing the Large Map hung on the board behind him.

He first extended his right index finger and pointed at the middle section of The Empire's North, which was the Fortress Zone where Nahas was currently located.

"Vice Admiral Leone, Vice Admiral Nyau, Vice Admiral Bonny!"

"Present!"

The two women and one man quickly stood up straight.

"You three will lead a 400,000 Large Army to Muur Fortress. After arriving, Nahas will be the Commander!"

Blande issued the Order in a serious tone.

In The Empire's Military, basically, as long as they were Imperial Arms Users, they had at least the Military Rank of Rear Admiral. Then, after their Martial Arts level improved and they earned a certain amount of Military Merit, they could quickly be promoted to Vice Admiral.

"Yes!"

The three agreed in unison, then all sat back down.

"Vice Admiral Guy, Vice Admiral Daidaras, you two will lead a 100,000 Large Army to the Longxi Mountain Range and begin Cooperation with the Alchemy Kingdom side."

"Yes!"

Daidaras, one of the Three Beasts under Esdeath in the Canon, was a burly man with thick yellow hair and beard.

His Imperial Arms hasn't changed, it's still Rotating Axe: Belvaac, but his overall Strength is definitely much stronger, because those above Rear Admiral are qualified to practice the Imperial Fist Temple's Body Control Secret Technique.

Coupled with the assistance of the Ministerial Arms You Zhi Pants, his leg strength and Speed have significantly improved.

This practice of pairing one Imperial Arms with one Ministerial Arms is common among Military Higher-ups Officers, but it also requires high Physical Ability, so Martial Arts Training/Exercise is very important.

It's worth mentioning that.

Guy, who only had one Ministerial Arms, Thousand-Layered Garment (which could control Soil and burrow Underground), in the Canon, now also has an Imperial Arms of his own.

"Vice Admiral Wave, Vice Admiral Cosmia, you will lead a 100,000 Large Army to garrison White Horse Mountain!"

But just as Blande's voice fell, a Maku Falcon flapping its wings appeared at the nearby window, attracting the attention of everyone inside the Train Car.

Since it could fly directly here, it must be carrying Urgent Intelligence.

"How is that possible!!"

When Blande took out the Envelope from the Maku Falcon's Package and opened it to read, his Expression suddenly changed greatly, and he subconsciously exclaimed softly.

"Admiral?"

Leone reminded softly.

"Muur Fortress has Fallen, Vice Admiral Izo was killed in battle, Nahas's 50,000 Troops were completely routed, and he himself is missing..."

Blande's Expression was extremely ugly. He bit on each word, explaining the Situation in a heavy tone.

"What!"

"How is this possible!"

"That was two Imperial Arms Users, a hundred Imperial Fist Temple Disciples, a thousand Beastman Warriors, 50,000 main Army Unit, and before that, the Ten Kings Unit even went ahead first and provided them with Support of nearly a thousand Rockets!"

"That's right! And wasn't it said that the enemy's Military Strength was only 20,000?"

The entire Train Car erupted into chaos.

Although Izo's Kōsetsu was not an Imperial Arms, his Swordsmanship and Strength were enough to rival an Imperial Arms User. This was a fact acknowledged by everyone.

"Nahas..."

Leone bit her lip tightly, not hiding the worry on her face at all.

At this moment, Blande suddenly said to her, "Leone, Bonny, you don't need to go to Muur Fortress. You will establish a Defense Line in the Mount Famu area, and you are not allowed to launch an Offensive without authorization before I arrive!"

**Chapter 582: The Three Pillars of the Empire!**

Northern Snow Region.

Outside the Star Gate Base in the Valley.

A figure completely covered in a loose black robe slowly walked through the wind and snow towards the heavily guarded Main Gate. This first caused the Army soldiers to feel a sense of surprise, followed immediately by vigilance.

Because it was too strange.

Where were the people on Patrol outside? Where were the people keeping watch in the dark?

Under normal circumstances, even if someone were approaching, they would definitely be accompanied by at least two squads of Soldiers, but this person was alone!

"Stop!"

"Who goes there!"

About twenty Army Main Combat Soldiers near the Main Gate quickly drew the Long Sabers strapped to their backs and, with very Agility movements, darted forward, surrounding the black-robed figure.

"Even the low-level Soldiers of the Main Battle Legion have such Speed and Aura. How can The Empire win, sigh—"

The black-robed figure lifted their Hat, revealing a Charmingly beautiful Face. It was none other than the former Commander of the Empire Assassination Unit, Mellard Olberg!

With a sweet Smile on her Face, she unceremoniously ordered the surrounding Main Combat Soldiers, "I am a Higher-up of The Empire. Take me to see your Superior. I want to defect!"

Just then, two rapid Whistling Sounds rang out In the Court.

The next second.

Two people wearing only black Suits, White Shirts, and black Leather Boots appeared one in front of and one behind Mellard. The former first glanced at Mellard, then spoke.

"We are Personnel of Cipher Pol under the World Government. We will be responsible for your Interrogation and investigation from now on. We hope you won't make any resistant moves."

"Of course, I sincerely want to join you. I hope you can be gentle when questioning me, okay?"

Mellard twisted her waist, asking the other party with captivating Charm.

"You are lucky. We no longer need to rely on detention for Interrogation, so you don't need to worry about that."

But the CP Agent was unmoved, their Attitude remained cold. At the same time, they took out a black Handcuffs from their jacket pocket and walked over.

"Before that, you need to put this on first."

"Ah?"

Mellard immediately covered her pink lips, acting surprised and unhappy, and said, "Do I have to? I won't do anything strange!"

"Hands out."

"Alright..."

Mellard reluctantly put on the Handcuffs obediently. Anyway, this thing was useless to her, it just made her wrists a little uncomfortable.

"Where are we going now?"

"Interrogation Room."

Meanwhile, back in the Imperial Capital.

Akame and Mine had successfully escorted Captain Sabatini of the Secret Police Force back and immediately informed Gozuchi, the new Commander of 'Oarberg', about Haki.

Gozuchi's first Reaction was naturally surprise.

Condensing one's own Aura into an invisible Armor with actual Defense Effect sounded a bit ridiculous.

But he was also an Expert who could release Aura and Sensing Aura, so it was relatively easier for him to understand.

However.

Regardless, Gozuchi couldn't report directly to the Emperor based solely on Akame's words, so he directly had a Sparring match with Akame using Real Swords.

Of course, neither side used Imperial Arms or Ministerial Arms.

After all, whether it was 'Murasame' or 'Kiriichimonji', once a cut was made on the Body, the consequences were very serious.

Just like that.

In this Combat between what was more like Master and Disciple than Superior and subordinate, Gozuchi personally Experienced the existence of Armament Haki and the Effect of Observation Haki.

The former could truly block the attack of a Blade, and when Coated on the Blade, the Power of the slash was significantly increased.

The latter, seemingly just an advancement of Sensing Aura, but the Ability to Predict Movements was simply too troublesome.

There was just one thing that greatly disappointed him.

Because Akame said she naturally mastered Haki through imitating and learning while fighting a Strong enemy, but he had fought with Akame for over two hours and still had no clue.

So he could only helplessly accept the Gap in Talent.

At this point, Gozuchi had confirmed everything.

He immediately took Akame and, riding a Large Bird-type Danger Beast Airship, arrived at the Imperial Capital at the fastest Speed.

Then, after layers of inspection, they finally entered the Imperial Palace, which existed in another Space, through the 'Life Gate' of the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock', and reported the Matter of Haki to the Emperor.

The Emperor also had some understanding of Aura, as he usually practiced the Martial Arts of the Imperial Fist Temple.

Although he definitely lacked in Combat Experience, his Comprehensive Strength, when placed outside the Imperial Capital, could actually be considered a minor Expert.

It was just a pity that due to the Limit of his Talent, he had been unable to master the Ability to Sensing Aura and was still stuck at the level of actively releasing Aura.

So the Emperor didn't hesitate at all and immediately summoned Air Force General Bud and Minister Najenda of the Secret Intelligence Department.

"So this is Haki?"

Najenda, with extremely capable snow-white short hair and an elegant figure hidden beneath a Suit and Pants, looked Akame up and down with her intact eyes while speaking thoughtfully.

"According to the Intelligence provided by the Captives we've caught, this Ability to turn Aura into invisible Armor should be called Armament Haki, and Akame's Ability, which has better Perception Accuracy and can Predict Movements, is called Observation Haki."

"Besides that, there seems to be something called Conqueror's Haki, but we only know that it seems to be an innate Talent and haven't found out the specific Ability Effect."

At this moment, General Bols finished his thinking and spoke, taking over the conversation.

"Your Majesty, the Matter of Haki should be reported to the Imperial Fist Temple as soon as possible, so they can send people with rich Experience in Martial Arts to participate in the Research. At the same time, I hope to have a fight with this Akame!"

"What?"

"This..."

The Emperor, Gozuchi, Najenda, and even Akame herself were greatly surprised, but they immediately understood Bud's idea: he wanted to try and master the Strength of Haki.

"Since Akame said she mastered Haki in a desperate Situation, then I hope you can use that Imperial Arms 'Murasame' and go all out!"

General Bols's Gaze turned to Akame as he said in a deep voice.

"This is not appropriate!"

The Emperor immediately Stood Up to stop him, saying angrily with some Anger, "General Bols, The Empire is facing unprecedented Otherworld Invaders right now. What would happen if you had an Accident?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the Logia Users that Minister Najenda mentioned before?"

General Bols, however, knelt before the Emperor, lowering his head and calmly stating his thoughts.

"From the existing Intelligence, it is known that these people who can turn their Bodies into natural Elements are immune to any attack except Armament Haki. Therefore, if this subordinate does not quickly master the Strength of Haki, it will be difficult to defeat them for The Empire in the Future!"

The few people in Xuanshi Hall fell silent.

General Bols was determined to die under 'Murasame' if he couldn't master Haki.

After all, if they couldn't deal with Logia Users, The Empire would inevitably be defeated and destroyed in the Future. As an Admiral of The Empire, he would never survive.

So the result was the same.

And Awakening and mastering Haki during a fierce Combat with Akame was the only Hope that could change this result!

"Finally, this subordinate suggests ordering Esdeath to return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, just like Blande. Although her Strength is stronger than mine, she still needs the Strength of Haki!"

"But... but if all three of you... you are all... you are all the pillars of The Empire!"

The Emperor hesitated.

"If an Accident truly occurs then, this subordinate hopes you can surrender to that World Government to preserve the Bloodline of the Imperial Family!"

After speaking, General Bols looked up at the Emperor, revealing a confident and determined expression.

"However, this subordinate does not believe that the three of us will die here!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 583: Effort and Busy Im!

Just as the situation in the 'Imperial Arms World' became even more tense due to the sudden appearance of the World Government, making the already not-so-harmonious overall atmosphere more strained.

Meanwhile, Im was still living a quite fulfilling life on Paradis Island in the 'Titan World'.

Every morning at six o'clock, he would open his eyes, put Historia in his arms aside, wash up, served by the Ubuyashiki Four Sisters, then pick up 'Xihe' and go to the lawn outside the house to practice Swordsmanship.

By eight o'clock in the morning, he would enter his private Bathhouse for a bath, and after coming out, enjoy a simple but extremely luxurious Breakfast with Historia.

At this time, it was probably already nine o'clock.

Im would read the various Intelligence and Documents prepared by Stussy in the study. These were basically all sent over by the Five Elders and others, and through them, he could understand and control the important Matters of the World Government.

Just on this, he often required spending about two hours.

Although the Five Elders and others wouldn't send trivial matters to him, the Scale of the World Government is immense, and there are countless Matters in all aspects.

Don't look at the current Conquest War being carried out vigorously, but the Development work in the several Worlds in the rear is also underway.

Let's first talk about the Sea Star Mainland, after all, this is the Base.

Regarding Livelihood.

The main aspects are Food, housing, Education, sanitation, Transportation, and Entertainment.

As mentioned before, the World Government is promoting the Plan to 'Ensure the Basic Living Conditions of the World Citizens'. The specific process is to dispatch working groups to every Kingdom to investigate and check the living Environment of the local Citizens on site.

If poor Families or individuals are found, it will require the Royalty of that country to cooperate with the working group to provide Aid.

For example, helping to repair dilapidated houses, build new houses, freely provide a certain amount of Food, Clothing, or even Berry as aid, or arrange relatively decent work for them.

Also, the working groups need to select sites in every Kingdom and City for the Public School, World Hospital, Public Bathhouse, Public Tennis Court, Police Station, and Administrative Agency to be established later.

Among these, the Royalty of each Kingdom could understand the role of the first five, but they were not very clear about the last one.

Later, they listened to the Team Leaders of the working groups explain that this is to improve the Communication Efficiency between the Royalty and the World Government, and normally, it will not interfere with their Internal Affairs.

It is equivalent to becoming an Embassy-like existence.

This immediately put the Royalty at ease, and they actively cooperated with these working groups in providing Aid to the lower-class Civilians. Anyway, it didn't cost them much Berry.

That's right.

The Aid content mentioned before is actually all paid for by the World Government, providing Supplies. Even the land for building Schools, Hospitals, and other facilities was bought from the King with money.

As for Construction Workers, the Officials and Architects of the Construction Department are the Core, and then local young and strong people from various countries are hired as Laborers.

This directly stimulated the construction enthusiasm of the Citizens in Various Places.

Of course, the cost is definitely very large, but since the World Government has started promoting these, it must have considered the pros and cons, and the final calculation found that it is profitable in the long run!

The current World Government possesses three Other Worlds, and this fourth Other World is probably also about to be acquired.

Therefore, in terms of Resources, the World Government has achieved relative 'Finance Freedom' and 'Resource Freedom', so calculating the cost of this aid is meaningless.

And the benefit of doing this is gaining 'tons', or even 'massive' Popular Support.

During the process of providing Aid, each working group will often emphasize the existence of the World Government to the Citizens, and even describe the beautiful Future life to them.

To give a classic example.

That Goa Kingdom in the East Blue, now there is no longer any 'Gray Terminal'. This place is now rows of two-story houses with small courtyards.

There is also the 'World Government Public School' covering the four academic zones of 'Early Childhood to High School', and the 'World Government Public Bathhouse' capable of accommodating a thousand people simultaneously.

There is also the 'World Hospital' with ten Physicians certified by the Medical Academy as junior and intermediate level, and a Police Station

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.
