Chapter 773: The Land of Flowers
The Land of Flowers is a famous ancient country in the West Sea!
The history of its kingdom can be traced back even before the creation of the world government.
In terms of territory, there are three islands in the land of flowers.
One big and two small!
The largest one is more than fifty times larger than St. Maarten. It is the main island of the Land of Flowers and the capital of the country. The smallest two are about the size of St. Maarten and are affiliated islands of the Land of Flowers!
But just adding up these three islands, considering the size of the kingdom's territory, the Land of Flowers can already rank in the top three in the West Sea!
In terms of population!
It has a population of more than 13 million.
Before St. Martin would capture these islands today, the population of the Flower Country was the largest in the West Sea!
In terms of the military, the Army and Navy of the Land of Flowers have it!
Among them, there are a total of nine naval forces, ranging from one to nine treasures, with a small number of people, each of which is around 3,000, and the total number is nearly 30,000. World mess!
Among them, after the legendary Pirate Cone of Green Pepper retired, the two navies belonging to the Dabao Navy and the Sanbao Navy were the strongest, and their leaders all had the strength of a lieutenant general!
As for the army, although the combat power is not as good as that of the navy, it can be said that the number of the navy can be said to be hanging!
The country of flowers has an army of half a million!
However, the army of 500,000 people is not like the army of St. Martin. There is nothing to do except training, and the equipment is all well-equipped!
But there are only 100,000 elites who are fully armed and trained every day. The others usually need to cultivate the fields, and the equipment is relatively sloppy, and even most of them are armed with cold weapons!
In terms of climate!
Because of the large territory, the kingdom of flowers can be said to have any climate in the kingdom!
But the main thing is the temperate climate!
In most cases throughout the year, most parts of the Land of Flowers are as warm as St. Martin's!
In addition, the land in the country of flowers is also very fertile, so in terms of grain output, the country of flowers has always been high, and even has the nickname of a big grain-producing country!
——
The waters of the land of flowers!
Rilis and his party were sitting on the Meck, bringing a fleet of more than 900,000 people to this sea area after the battle with the World Government!
On the Mack!
"I found the ship on the opposite side responsible for investigating intelligence!" Bruce held the telescope with his still trembling hand, looked at the sea in front of him, and said with a smile.
At this time, in this sea area, apart from Rilis and his party, there were only a few ships with the flag of the Land of Flowers.
And these ships turned around and left without hesitation after seeing the mighty fleet led by Rilis and his party!
Clearly, these ships are the ones responsible for investigating the situation!
"Go and call a few fast ships to investigate and see what the other party's arrangement is!" Lylis listened to Bruce's words, thought for a while, put down the telescope in his hand, and instructed the soldiers beside him.
"Yes, my lord!" After nodding, the soldier turned and left to make arrangements as Lelis said!
soon!
Several small boats that were not slow stood out from this mighty fleet and headed towards the Land of Flowers!
After a while, Rilis got the feedback from these ships!
"The navy on the opposite side didn't show up?" Rilis couldn't help frowning.
Now they have entered the waters of the Land of Flowers, and they are about to reach the three islands of the Land of Flowers. According to normal logic, even if the navy of the Land of Flowers loses to the navy of Saint Martin, they should show their faces!
And now, he didn't even show up, which made Rilis a little weird!
"Maybe the other party is not going to fight at sea, but is going to hold the island tightly?" Bruce said with a smile.
Lilis raised his brows when he listened to Bruce's words. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded and agreed with this statement.
If the other party is going to guard the island, they really don't need to show up!
And doing so is the best way to deal with it right now!
The army of the Flower Country is only 500,000. In terms of combat power, apart from the navy and the 100,000 elite army, the other 400,000 can be said to be very worrying. In this case, it is obviously not a good idea to fight against St. Martin's army head-on. s Choice!
But if you adopt the strategy of sticking to the island, it is a very good choice!
Under normal circumstances, the defending side is generally simpler than the attacking side because of various fortifications, and the requirements for troops are lower!
In the case of weak troops, defense is undoubtedly the best choice!
If we fight head-on, we will only sacrifice the navy of the flower country with strong combat power in vain!
With that in mind, Rilis received new news from the ship that went to investigate!
There are a lot of evacuation marks on the other's two affiliated islands, and the other party is likely to evacuate all the people on the two islands!
After hearing the news, Rilis frowned subconsciously.
"The other party is planning to defend the main island?" Rilis couldn't help but murmured.
At this time, the other party evacuated the people on the two affiliated islands. Apart from preparing to defend the main island, he couldn't think of any other reason!
the other side.
Bruce stopped the murmur of Rilis, who was beside him, and after thinking for a while, he said with a smile, "If I were them, in the face of this situation, I would simply stay on the main island and follow you. It's exhausted!"
"After all, the land of flowers is not bad for food, and some are time-consuming, and we are from afar, and there are many people. There is a lot of pressure on food and logistics, but there is no time-consuming!"
"Yeah!" After listening to Bruce's words, Rilis agreed after pondering it carefully.
For their fleet of nearly one million people, it is really a bit of a pain. After all, even if these nearly one million people do nothing, they will consume an amazing amount of food every moment!
In addition, the Land of Flowers is not too close to St. Martin and the Kingdom of Whitby. The transportation line required for logistical supplies is relatively long. If the Land of Flowers is not resolved as soon as possible, the food-consuming crisis will soon break out!
And once before the outbreak of the food crisis, if the defense line of the Flower Country is still broken and boarded on the main island, there are only two options left for Rilis.
One is retreat, the other is hard resistance!
However, retreating means falling short, and resisting hard means that the army of nearly one million is likely to be starved to death.
To be honest, neither of these are good choices!
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario, the consequences!
In fact, Riles knew this was impossible!
because
Arthur gave him a very powerful thing before he fought with Sengoku and others!
Thinking of this, Rilis couldn't help but glance back at the cabin!
At this moment, in the cabin, in his room, a square box was lying quietly on his desk!
And if someone in the know opens the box at this time, they will find that it is the launcher of the Eye of Judgment - crystal ball!
