boom!
"What's going on?!"
It was just daybreak, Zhan Guo, with his eyes squinted and wearing a coat, ran out of the house without even having time to put on his shoes, and hurriedly walked to the outside of Pangu City.
Because he had retired from the position of marshal, the military uniform he had previously worn was naturally taken back by the government.
"Marshal Zhan Guo...Oh no, Senior Zhan Guo, it seems that someone is bombarding the stone wall with weapons of mass destruction under the Red Earth Continent."
A navy officer in charge of night watch and reconnaissance immediately reported loudly after seeing Zhan Guo.
"Bombing?"
He frowned, and then spoke to calm the panicked crowd, "Don't worry, the stone wall of the Red Earth Continent is not an ordinary stone wall. Even if ordinary artillery fire bombards it for three days and three nights, it is impossible to destroy this stone wall."
What he didn't tell the soldiers was that the Celestial Dragons had already inlaid a thick layer of seastone into the stone walls of this red earth continent hundreds of years ago.
Although the seastone cutting technology was not well developed at that time, with the accumulation of countless manpower and material resources, this project was still completed after spending decades.
As for why seastone was used to strengthen the stone wall below Pangu City...
Of course, this is to prevent situations like today from happening.
By the way, because of this, many Devil Fruit users will feel a slight sense of fatigue the moment they walk down the elevator and step onto the land above the Red Soil Continent.
Including Vivian.
But this feeling was so small that it could be ignored, so the people with special abilities naturally just regarded it as their own illusion.
boom!
The explosions continued.
As expected, when the navy rushed to the edge of the cliff, they found that the stone wall below was just as Zhan Guo said, except that a layer of skin had peeled off, it was almost undamaged.
Looking at the white stone surface exposed from under the skin, many navy soldiers crawling on the side could not help but sigh: "So it is seastone..."
"No wonder they can withstand this level of bombardment. If that's the case, then the revolutionary army won't be able to attack us anymore, right?"
They thought, the red soil continent is at such a high altitude, and with the seastone as protection, artillery fire cannot destroy it at all, so how can the revolutionary army fight
It’s impossible that everyone can climb up with bare hands like Fisher Tiger did more than ten years ago, right
Even if these people have the strength to climb up with their bare hands, they will probably be blown down by guns before they can climb halfway. So from any angle, the World Government has an absolute advantage in this war.
They didn't even see the slightest hope of the revolutionary army winning.
This is why many navies feel that this war is an overreaction.
"They won't be able to fight for long before retreating, right?" A vice admiral said subconsciously as he listened to the dense artillery fire coming from below.
"I think it's unlikely."
Hearing the noise, He came over in a uniform, surrounded by a group of female navy officers. He folded his arms across his chest, stretched his head and looked down the cliff. Then, under the puzzled eyes of everyone present, he said, "This is just a sheep attack. I think their real goal is to occupy the outer towns under Pangu City."
Directly below the elevator of the Red Earth Continent, there is a huge outer town where many civilians live, as well as nobles from various countries who want to curry favor with the Celestial Dragons.
In addition to this, there are also a large number of World Government troops stationed above.
"If my guess is correct, they should have taken advantage of the time when our attention was distracted by the artillery fire to launch an attack from the rear and then entered the outer towns."
"Attacking the outer towns...what's the point? Aren't the Celestial Dragons all on the Red Earth Continent?" asked a navy man.
"So, we can't stay on the Red Earth Continent forever." He said.
"What Vice Admiral Tsuru means is..."
Yellow Monkey, who had just arrived at the scene slowly, yawned and said the following words for Crane: "After occupying the outer towns, the Revolutionary Army will station in them and monitor us until the food in Pangu City is exhausted. Then we will naturally take the initiative to go down and fight them."
"The food in Pangu City is only enough for all of us to eat for one month. After a month, we have to go down no matter what." Zhan Guo also said at this time.
"Ah? What should I do then?"
When everyone thought about it, they really felt that this was the truth.
"But there is another way to easily destroy the Revolutionary Army's plan."
"What is the solution?"
After hearing what Zhan Guo said, everyone asked anxiously with curiosity on their faces.
"That is... to directly use artillery fire to raze the town below to the ground."
After the words were spoken, everyone present opened their mouths wide and fell into deep silence.
Use artillery fire to raze the surrounding towns to the ground
But aren’t there still a large number of civilians and people from their world government in the town
Therefore, someone immediately raised a question: "There are still troops sent from our headquarters in the city. If we really bombard them indiscriminately, won't those people also be buried with the revolutionary army?"
"In theory, yes."
Without any intention of making excuses, Zhan Guo simply nodded.
"I don't agree!"
A naval captain was the first to stand up and voiced his objection.
Everyone turned to look at the crowd when they heard the voice, only to see that the one who raised his hand in opposition was none other than Vivian's subordinate, the former Seven Warlords of the Sea Jinpei.
"Mercurials?"
Many guards and soldiers who saw Jinbei for the first time couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
Jinbei continued, "As a marine, your duty is to capture criminals, eliminate pirates, and protect the people. This is the military regulation of the navy that Admiral Vivian told me on my first day in the navy. Now, not only do you want to abandon the civilians, but you also want to harm your own compatriots. Are you worthy of the uniform you wear?"
After these words were spoken, most of the navy officers present fell into silence.
Including Warring States, He and others.
They all knew how despicable what they were doing, but...
There seems to be no better way to destroy the revolutionary army, right
However, Akainu, after hearing everyone's conversation, also walked towards Jinbei with the same watermelon-flavored cigar as Vivian in his mouth, his eyes couldn't be colder.
