The Great King of Pirates

"The pirates are almost breaking through the line, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, how long will it take for reinforcements from the Navy to arrive!".

On the main ship of the Navy, Dalton asked eagerly.

Behind them, artillery fire flew in the wind, and the scorching air was mixed with a suffocating smell of blood. Nearly 100 wrecks of ships, looming in the firelight, slowly sank into the depths of the sea.

The soldiers and pirates who fell into the water, some shouted for help, and some continued to fight directly in the water, flesh and blood flying, and it was very tragic!

The flying squirrel drew his saber and sliced a pirate in half with a single slash, merging perfectly with the severed arms on the deck.

"The nearest cruising fleet is two days away, and we're afraid we won't be able to make it that time!" the flying squirrel looked at Dalton. "There is some hope if your soldiers can cheer up, but now..."

The flying squirrel didn't finish his sentence, but Dalton understood what he meant.

The battle had been going on for more than three hours, and the bravery and strength of the navy soldiers made Dalton want to find a hole in the ship and never come out to meet anyone.

In such a long period of fighting, the reduction of naval soldiers is less than 20%, and the remaining soldiers still maintain an extremely high fighting enthusiasm.

On the other hand, the kingdom's army has been reduced by twice as many as the navy, and now most of them are like quails, several people cooperate to hide in a corner, trembling and barely resisting the attack of the pirates.

Dalton couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and roared angrily: "You cowards, the ship behind us is carrying your parents, wives and children!

It's a pity that the long-term peace has worn out the blood of the soldiers of the kingdom, and when they first went to the battlefield, they encountered such a tragic battle, which made them even more overwhelmed and afraid.

Looking at the soldier who hesitated, but still did not make a change, Dalton was disappointed.

"Your Majesty, the citizens of this country are rotten. Doton muttered.

Since Valpo succeeded to the throne as king, he has been reorganizing the army, improving the quality of his soldiers, and giving them extremely generous treatment.

Despite the soldiers' repeated failures, Dalton did not give up, hoping to awaken their will to defend their homes and families.

But today, it seems that the performance of these soldiers has made people have some hope.

"Dalton, do you need to get Weibull to do it now?" asked Cro-Limon. "If the loss is too great, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be a little angry. "

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The more you give, the more you hurt.

On more than one occasion he pleaded before His Majesty the King, hoping to give the soldiers more chances.

But now it seems ······

Glancing at the soldiers who were trembling with swords in their hands, Dorton slowly shook his head and said, "These have become completely waste, and even if they are rescued, they will no longer be able to go to the battlefield." "

Cro-Romanimon wondered, "Then what do you want to do?"

Dalton said with an indifferent expression: "Since they can't dedicate themselves to the kingdom during their lifetime, then they can be transformed into nourishment and nourish the country after death, which can be regarded as their last strength and disguised contribution." "

"Your Majesty is right, anyone and anything can reflect his value at a certain time. The country has been at ease for too long, leaving the soldiers with no reason to fight. Even if you know that you are the last line of defense of the country, even if you know that you have lost the battle, what kind of predicament will the country face, and how your relatives will be treated brutally. They have not seen it with their own eyes, they have not experienced it personally, and in the face of their own lives, they still choose to escape rather than face it. "

Pointing to more than a dozen giant ships that even among the 700 giant ships, they seemed to be large and luxurious, and looked at the flying squirrels beside him, Dalton said: "Mr. Vice Admiral, now please shrink the defense line and protect other ships except these thirteen giant ships." "

"This is the ship of your kingdom that transports precious treasures. The flying squirrel frowned and asked, "Do you want to satisfy the appetite of these pirates with these treasures, and then let them leave on their own?" Although I pay tribute to Your Excellency's love for the lives of your people and soldiers, Your Excellency probably does not have a deep understanding of the greed of these pirates. The pirates who have not yet tasted the benefits can still fight normally, but once they are stimulated by the treasure, the madness of the pirates will really be revealed at that time. "

"It's a treasure, that's right. Dalton laughed, "But just then, now it's become a burden and a cancer." If you don't find a way to make it clear, sooner or later it will endanger the lives of the entire country. "

"What's that?" the flying squirrel was curious.

"The families of our soldiers. "Dalton was in some pain. "It's also a reason why the soldiers don't dare to forge ahead. "

"Since a year ago, the families of these soldiers have been arranged to live in a fixed area, enjoying the best treatment, a high monthly military allowance, and free medical care for life. "

"It costs a huge amount of money every month, just to make our soldiers have no worries when they need to fight. "

And now it seems that the conditions are too favorable, so that these soldiers are full of nostalgia for the beautiful world. "

"It's our fault, and we're going to make it right!"
