Chapter 479: Dorag: High-end Operation
Zhang Da had already known about the affairs of the Kingdom of Lulucia last night, because the flag monsters stayed to observe for a while after finishing their business and just floated back yesterday.
The king still did not wake up. The doctors could not find the cause and could only treat him as a vegetative state, relying on daily nutrient solution to maintain his life.
The princess could do nothing but cry and throw tantrums. After a few days of perfunctory treatment, Minister of State Nihalombai finally couldn't stand it anymore. A minister as talented as him should only assist the king, but why should he have to put up with a child's mischief?
Moreover, there is such a strong public outcry for him to ascend the throne, and even Heaven has given instructions. Now is the best opportunity!
Unfortunately, the result was far beyond his expectations. The king's army captain Lancel decisively identified him as a rebel and quickly defeated his guards under the banner of protecting the king and princess.
Although there were people in the king's army who sided with Nihalombai, Lancel's reputation in the army was too high, and a few soldiers could not affect the overall situation.
Seeing Lancel, dressed in silver armor and holding a spear, leading the troops to surround Nihalombe's residence, he looked so handsome and majestic that countless people were fascinated by him and couldn't help but think that "this man should be the king."
The information that Zhan Guo showed Zhang Da was a little outdated. I don’t know whether he didn’t get the latest information or didn’t want to show it to Zhang Da .
"What does this have to do with me? Why are you showing me this?" Zhang Da also tried to get away with it, and he succeeded but not completely.
Zhan Guo's serious expression softened considerably. He said, "The day you left was exactly the day the king fell into a coma. Is that really a coincidence?"
Zhang Da also nodded. "It must be a coincidence. We didn't leave the dock area on the day we set sail, nor did we see the king. Mr. Zefa can testify to that."
"Hmm..." Listening to Zhang Daye's childish defense, Zhan Guo nodded. Seeing how righteous he was, it was most likely that he didn't do it that day, but the night before.
"So do you think the king's life is in danger? When will he wake up?"
"Then how should I know? Judging from the symptoms described in the document, he seems to be in a vegetative state. Maybe he will wake up someday." Zhang Da also felt that there was something wrong with this Warring States mentality. Whenever something happened, people thought it was him who did it - although it was indeed him who did it, you can't just make an accusation based on intuition without any evidence, right?
Zhang Da also expressed grievance.
Looking at his exaggerated expression, Zhan Guo almost believed it.
The king just scolded the navy and Tom a few times, and your revenge almost cost him his throne?
Fortunately, there was a loyal and reliable captain of the king's army, otherwise the king would have been replaced. Although the change of the throne has nothing to do with the navy, this behavior was too bold.
Zefa said that if he hadn't been there, Zhang Da might have beaten the king right then and there. How could a young man have such a bad temper? It seemed that what Ah He said was right. This kid was too vindictive.
"Alright, alright, don't be so reckless next time. Although that king is indeed..." Zhan Guo wanted to say that the king was indeed a piece of shit , but as a naval marshal, it was inappropriate for him to say that, so he swallowed the words back. "If something goes wrong with the king, the civilians will suffer. Whether it's an invasion from outside or internal strife, they will inevitably be affected. Next time you do something, you must consider the consequences carefully... No, don't do this kind of thing next time!"
Zhan Guo was almost led astray, and after saying the necessary words, he waved his hand and told him to leave quickly.
By the way, I also picked up the cat that was obsessed with feeding the sheep and returned it to him.
"Oh, okay, Uncle Zhan Guo." Zhang Da took advantage of the fact that he was a child and changed his name casually. Then, when Zhan Guo was stunned, he opened his drawer and took out the rice crackers inside.
He had seen Karp rummaging through this drawer and had been itching to get his hands on it for a long time.
After leaving the office, Zhang Da also looked at Altria who was distributing senbei to him and Tom, and felt that he had lost a lot of his moral integrity after becoming a child.
…
Life after being shrunk is very novel, but there are also some inconveniences, such as having to stand on a small stool like Tom to wash up in the morning.
Shark Chili even prepared children's toothpaste and toothbrush for him.
Zhang Da gradually got used to his companions' sudden desire to protect him.
After seven or eight days, a very important figure suddenly appeared in the underground world. His code name was Joker, which means the ace in the playing card, or the clown.
It is said that some shady transactions can be easily carried out through it, including slaves and arms.
Some people say that this Joker is Doflamingo among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he himself will not admit it. What does Joker have to do with me, Tenyaksha Doflamingo?
At most I can give you some contact information to help you connect.
Some people think that there are too many benefits to be gained from that position, and they are not convinced that he can sit there, so they go to cause trouble, and then they are taught a lesson.
For example, their own people suddenly started killing each other, there was a giant fist as big as a town, there was a man in a cloak who was completely black and invulnerable to swords and guns, and there was a very disgusting slime monster. After a few battles, everyone realized the terrifying power of Joker and his men, and fewer and fewer people came to cause trouble. On the contrary, many people wanted to join them.
Zhang Da has no access to the underground world for the time being. He still doesn't know where those killers came from, and through what channels they issued the bounties and accepted the missions.
He had just found Ain and removed his ability, and wanted to try out the effects of his training these days.
The reduction training plan for other naval cadets has been stopped because their physical strength decreases significantly after they become smaller. They cannot even complete daily basic training and are extremely prone to injury. Using this method will delay progress.
Unless Wendy could accompany him and provide treatment and physical recovery when needed, but Zefa gave up. Wendy came here to train and become stronger, and occasionally helped with treatment out of kindness. He couldn't really use her as a tool.
Otherwise, Zhang Da might very well take Wendy away, which would hurt their relationship.
So in the end, the only one who insisted on training in a child's posture was Zhang Daye. Although his physical strength was also limited, he was much stronger than those Marines. Moreover, he could ignore the pain and physical condition and train hard. No matter how tired he was that day, he would be as good as new the next day.
It was just a little uncomfortable when he was returning to his normal body shape. He forgot to change his clothes. Fortunately, the clothes he was wearing were shrunk by Tom after washing, so he changed back to his normal size after stretching them out. If he had known about this function, he would not have to learn the transformation magic and go through so much trouble. He could have just found some oversized clothes for Tom to wash.
"What an enviable physique." Seeing Zhang Da also testing his strength and speed changes on the training ground, even Zefa couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"It works." Zhang Da became happier and happier the more he tried. The feeling of obvious improvement was so great. He felt that seven days was at least equivalent to one or two months normally.
"Sister Ayin, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me from now on!" Zhang Da also looked at Ayin as if he was looking at a ten-fold experience card.
"Um... okay." Zhang Da suddenly spoke in Ye Yan's tone, which made Aiyin feel uncomfortable and even wanted to punch him. However, Aiyin forced herself to hold back and chose to give face to Wendy and Altria. One of them was her savior, and the other was her idol.
Zhang Da also thought about it and said, "It's not good to trouble you like this all the time. How about I give you a little gift?"
As he spoke, he began to rummage through his inventory.
Aiyin declined, "Don't be so polite. I only activate my ability every few days. It's no burden to me at all."
Zefa also quickly stopped him: "Don't take those weird things anymore, it's just a piece of cake for Ain anyway."
However, Zhang Da had already found something suitable and said with a smile, "You will definitely not refuse this. Dangdangdangdang~Famous Sword Huazhou!"
"Is this... the famous sword Huazhou, one of the fifty finest swords?" Although Zefa doesn't use a sword, it doesn't mean he doesn't know its value. Having been an instructor for twenty years, he has a good understanding of various weapons.
For a swordsman, a good sword is extremely important. Even after mastering Haki, the feeling of wielding a famous sword is different from that of an ordinary sword. Only a pretentious person like Vergo would use an ordinary bamboo as a weapon.
Aiyin involuntarily took Huazhou and drew her sword, carefully examining the flame-shaped pattern on the blade. She was still learning ordinary swordsmanship and was far from forming her own fighting style.
Although I once thought of using two light short swords as weapons, if I can get a famous sword now, I can change my goal...
"This is too expensive. I can't accept it!" Aiyin sheathed the knife with great perseverance and handed it back to Zhang Daye with both hands. She felt that her efforts were not worthy of such a generous reward.
"Just consider it a thank you for taking care of Altria and Rui Mengmeng during this time." They lived in the same dormitory, so they must have taken care of each other. Zhang Da also said, "This was confiscated from the Baroque Works. It's useless in my hands."
Zhang Da also thought that if she had such a big reaction to a Huazhou, she would be so excited that she would cry if she took out Mu Ku and Ying Shi from the Golden Lion, or Qiu Shui.
"But..." Ain's hand tightly grasping the scabbard showed that she was very moved. She bit her lip and looked conflicted.
"If you feel bad, just use this knife to catch more pirates, and then get more bonus to treat us to a meal." Zhang Da also casually put forward a vicious condition.
"Okay!" Aiyin agreed readily. "I still have my bonus for this year. I'll treat you tonight!"
After being together for so long, Ain certainly knew how heavy the words "treating Amber Travel Group to dinner" were, but the more so, the easier it was for her to accept. Using a year's bonus to exchange for a famous sword was an opportunity that many people would not even beg for.
For example, Binz is very envious now. I also use a knife. Mr. Tatsuya, look at me. Can my ability help you with training?
Ayin was immersed in the sudden joy, and seemed to see a future in which she could not afford clothes, snacks, or jewelry for a long time, but she hugged Huazhou and smiled happily.
So Zhang Da became a child again. Although he tried hard at dinner, he still didn't eat as much as usual, which was a huge loss.
…
Zhang Da, who became a child again, was immersed in the joy of making progress through hard work. More than half a month passed by unknowingly.
The biggest news in the past half month was that the king of the Kingdom of Lulucia woke up. He immediately regained power, but was quickly overthrown.
It only took one day for the king to return for the common people, who were used to Lancel being in power, to realize how rotten their king really was.
There's no harm without comparison. During Lancel's reign, civilians lived a very easy life. There were no chaotic taxes, no messy royal ceremonies, and the kingdom would subsidize the losses incurred by the army when it failed to resist pirates...
As soon as the king returns, he will announce his return to the whole country. Even if he is weak, he will go out for a tour in a carriage with water hanging on it. Civilians who see the king's motorcade must stop what they are doing to welcome him.
The most unbearable thing was that Lancel was detained by the king on charges of treason because he arbitrarily lowered taxes. Lancel thought that the king had just woken up and had not figured out the situation yet, so he did not resist.
He believed that the king would soon understand what was happening in the country and would then realize that he had no intention of rebelling.
For a time, the country was outraged, and the soldiers of the King's Army could not accept that their beloved commander was accused of treason.
So the palace fell the day after Lancel was imprisoned. As soon as Lancel walked out of the prison gate, he was put on a crown and helped to sit on the throne.
Until everyone saluted him, Lancel still didn't understand how things turned out like this.
In short, due to a series of unexpected events, the Lulucia Kingdom completely changed.
After seeing the newspaper, Zhang Da also took the initiative to run to the Marshal's office.
Little Zhang Da also raised the newspaper above his head and waved it: "Uncle Zhan Guo, this is none of my business. I haven't left the Navy Headquarters for a single step these days, you know!"
Warring States Period: ...
No matter how you look at it, it seems like the King of the Kingdom of Lulucia is asking for his own death, and this kind of coup is an internal affair of the kingdom, so it is not convenient for the navy to intervene.
Strictly speaking, this incident was caused by Zhang Daye and his men using unknown methods to put the king into a coma for nearly a month, so it wasn't entirely an internal affair. However, there was no evidence to support this claim, and even if the matter was explained, the people might even thank Zhang Daye.
What the hell is this!
…
Meanwhile, at the revolutionary army headquarters in Baldigo.
In front of the revolutionary army leader Drago was a newspaper and some relevant information, which recorded in detail the whole process of the coup d'état in the Kingdom of Lulucia.
From the training camp and the Amber Tour Group's battle with pirates, to the king's coma and the rumors spreading, to the struggle between Lancel and Nihalombai, all the way to Lancel's ascension to the throne...
Dorag watched it carefully several times. To describe his feelings, he could only say that he was shocked. This was a high-end operation he had never seen before.
So, this is how revolution can be carried out? Or rather, this is how revolution can be carried out!
"Call the cadres, summarize, and study."
