Chapter 126 When memories and reality intertwine...
It is different from the handwritten letters sent to other countries in the New World!
In the letter Lex sent specifically to Pentles, he did not mention the World Government, the Heavenly Gold Share, or the Chamber of Commerce.
Just one sentence——
"I'm here to fulfill that promise!"
It's worth more than a thousand words!
Let's just recall...
......
At the beginning of the Haiyuan calendar year 1485.
It had been less than a year since Rocks was terminated in the Valley of the Gods.
The original new world has become a mess.
Pentles is located in the second half of the New World, close to Wano Country, a mysterious samurai country that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Pentleres is a standard archipelago with a relatively large land area and a population of nearly one million. It can be considered a big country in Qinghai, where the total population is not too large!
But, fate sometimes has twists and turns.
Pentles, a country with bad luck, has a scum king, Lee Situs!
A piece of trash, a scum, and a villain who has neither brains nor means!
He is the perfect example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
He likes to oppress the people at home, plunder their wealth and fill his own treasury.
However, he was very submissive to the outside world and tried to make small things out of big things.
Finally, in that turbulent era, in the chaotic, cannibalistic New World Sea—
Pentles was betrayed by several surrounding countries!
The four surrounding countries are planning to occupy Pentles, plunder national assets, and enslave the people of Pentles in order to join the World Government and become member states! !
the reason is simple--
Because Rocks is dead!
Died in the Valley of God! ~
The new world that was once a place where one person had the final say is now being torn apart by a group of monsters.
These kingdoms that once struggled under the tyranny of Rocks are in urgent need of finding a new backer!
To consolidate the royal family's rule!
And the world government that "ended" Rocks is undoubtedly the first choice!
However, the high price of gold forced these nearly crazy countries to start wars to plunder, kill, and compete for the countless resources!
And the ones who suffer are always the common people!
Therefore, it is necessary to seek shelter and divert conflicts.
The spearhead of the war is aimed at Pentles!
...........
Camus suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and continued to read the contents of the letter with a trembling voice:
"For five years, I have always paid attention to everyone in Pentles. When I learned that two years ago, the last participating country was completely destroyed by Camus and everyone, my heart... was very complicated. I admit: the sea will always be a bloody, primitive and violent war. But for everyone in Pentles, I only wish you can achieve the final victory!"
"If it really is true that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! I hope everyone will always be the king!"
"I also secretly support Pentles from time to time. Camus should know all this."
"But due to some reasons of the World Government, I cannot take action directly."
“Fortunately, the results are all good!”
"Everyone in Pentles is living well now."
When it comes to this passage, it’s not just Camus on the stage.
Even the temporary ministers behind Camus and Gutt covered their faces and cried!
This is not the case of the ministers of the Kingdom of Prodans crying because of national hatred and family feuds under the tyranny of Pitlis...
It is from the bottom of my heart, as a person who has experienced it firsthand, it is hard to let go of the past! ~
.........
The end of the Haiyuan calendar year 1485.
Something happened in the New World Pentletes that shocked the whole country!
Your Majesty the King - Lee Situs, betrayed the country!
The news came from the mouth of one of the king's guards in the palace, and then the guard was immediately executed, which further confirmed the accuracy of the news!
It is reported that Lee Situs, as the contemporary king of the Pentles royal family, actually reached an agreement with the four kingdoms that besieged Pentles:
At the cost of the entire Pentletes, in exchange for the wealth and stability of the royal family!
He deliberately made stupid moves, putting Pentletus' army in danger and causing heavy casualties.
I heard that the marshal of the Pentles army was also involved in this, deliberately leaking military intelligence and being defeated by the allied forces.
What's even more terrible is that the last message is -
The royal family promised to sell all the people of Pentles to the allied forces as slaves! ~
The King of Pentles
Total treason!
What a familiar recipe this is in the world of pirates.
The royal family had no kingly demeanor at all. They actually sold out the country on their own initiative when they were evenly matched with the front line and in a stalemate!
Millions of citizens were killed!
In short.
At the end of the year 1485 of the Haiyuan calendar, where should all the people of Pentletes go?
..........
In front of the camera.
Camus' eyes were red. This veteran who had been through many battles and had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood had his most fragile heartstrings touched.
He continued to read out Lex's handwritten letter slowly with a trembling voice.
Thinking of this, Camus already knew that this letter was not only written to himself, but also to all the citizens of Pentletes!
"The past is gone, and the past has disappeared on the waves of the sea."
"But no matter how time passes, I still remember the bloody battlefield in early 1486."
"The suffering that Pentles had experienced always lingers in my mind. For countless days and nights, I have never forgotten the people of Pentles!"
Camus read out every word, and the whole country of Pentletes was silent, and everyone was brought back to memories by Lex's letter.
Birds flying in the sky occasionally cross the sea and sky, proving that time does not seem to stand still.
then--
In front of the big screen, a whimpering sound came from somewhere.
Immediately—
Countless sobs and cries were heard, covering the sky and the earth. The sounds were not very loud, but they were unprecedentedly infectious. The whole of Pentletes was shrouded in a faint sadness and nostalgia.
A century-old country has gone through so many hardships, how can we turn back time? ...
..........
At the beginning of the Haiyuan calendar year 1486.
Under the advice of his master, the Red Earl, Lex embarked on a journey to challenge the world.
In that year——
Rex visited the Tingyu Dojo in Beihai and met the great swordsman Fuyuki and his daughter Gion.
In that year——
Rex visited the New World Sphinx and spent the night drinking with the great pirate Edward Newgate. By dawn, they were already calling each other "Dad".
In that year——
Lex came to Pentles...
"Hey, young man - yes, yes, it's you. You're so tall? And you're wearing clean, well-fitting clothes. You're not ordinary."
An old soldier approached Lex, who still had a youthful look, and asked.
Lex found it very interesting because the veteran in front of him, under his "mind reading", actually had "evil intentions"!
[Hey, this boy is good, he's so tall and looks so friendly, why don't we trick him into joining our army, hehe~! ]
Soldier?
At just 16 years old, Lexton is having fun.
Although I don't care much, Rocks is dead now.
He had just returned from the Sphinx, Whitebeard had become his adoptive father, his uncle was the Golden Lion, and his master was the Red Earl.
What is my status in today's new world?
uh-huh?
What do you mean?
The most talented young master in the New World is going to serve as a soldier in this chaotic and war-torn country?
"It's okay, I just came here to hang out. I heard there's a war going on here?"
Lex remained calm and asked the wily old soldier in front of him with a smile.
"Hahaha! Yes, there's a war!"
