As the shouts of battle drew nearer, Balmond's hands began to tremble.

"His Royal Highness Camilla, let the old minister escort you for the last time."

The young Camilla raised her head, and her original sapphire blue pupils seemed a little dull due to perennial hunger.

There were still some faint patches on a barely-fitting floral skirt.

But it can be seen how gentle the person who patched her is, if you don't look carefully, it's even hard to tell.

"Bamond, are we going to die?"

"If you die???????, you won't be hungry, right?"

Camilla, who had suffered so much at a young age, suddenly had a look of light in her eyes.

"Will I see my mother soon???????"

Chapter 59

The sound of hacking and killing outside the door gradually dissipated.

Balmond put his arms around Camilla's thin body, closed his eyes and began to pray.

The thin Camilla curled up in Balmond's arms and looked up at the murals on the top of the palace where the ancestors fought in all directions.

"Ancestors????? Please protect my people from being bullied by bad people. By the way, bless me????? Meet my mother?????"

"Your Majesty Camilla??????"

Balmond, who was over half a century old, burst into tears.

Such a kind princess, why did fate not favor her so much.

Let her be born into this precarious royal family.

squeak~~~

Accompanied by an old rubbing sound, the palace door was slowly pushed open.

Balmond was sad at first, and then he was keenly aware that something was wrong.

How could the pirate push the door?

They usually come straight in, and ??????

Why so quiet?

Footsteps sounded from the "Palace Gate", Balmond opened his eyes and looked over.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walked in carrying a long knife that was extremely asymmetrical to his body.

"You are??????"

"Me? I'm a Marine."

???????

The Kingdom of Girona has always been known for its fertile land and people.

Although there are no rare ore or rich fishery resources in other countries.

However, under the unique climatic conditions, the grain output is very abundant.

Such a land has also become a regular target for pirates to plunder.

The people living here are miserable, but they are powerless to resist.

Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Kingdom of Girona came to this land and led their knights to draw borders, drive away robbers, and establish rules.

People love the royal family of Girona and swear allegiance to it forever.

Warm land is suitable for the growth of food, and it is easy for brave soldiers to gain weight.

More than 200 years later, the original mighty Girona knights disappeared, and their descendants became nobles who needed support even to walk.

And the royal family is even worse.

With the help of huge food production, they cooperate with warring states in exchange for high income.

Finally, in a certain year, they became a member of the "World Government".

With the "naval protection" promised by the world government, the Royal Army has completely become a joke.

Although the people's life is getting worse day by day, they can still make ends meet.

The days are maintained like this, even though the proportion of food collected by the royal family is getting higher and higher, even though some people are already starving.

But people know very well that if they can't continue to pay the "heavenly gold", then they will go back to hell just like their ancestors.

All the people are gritted their teeth and bear it. On the one hand, they have to work hard to collect the "heavenly gold" collected by the world government, and on the other hand, they have to maintain the luxurious life of the nobles.

And the fragile support point that maintained all this finally collapsed completely one day.

"One Piece" - Goldo? Roger was executed.

Countless people set out to sea in search of the unprecedented huge treasure - "one piece".

Many newcomers are simply not deterred by the "Flag of the Navy".

They came to Girona, the "land of rice".

They robbed food, robbed women, and robbed what was in preparation—the gold in the sky!

This year, the "rice country" Girona lost its status as a "member country of the world government".

The Navy pulled down their flags.

The nightmare has returned to this land, and the knights who once held arms to defend the people have long since disappeared.

This year, Princess Camilla came to this world.

???????

"By the way?????? Mr. Navy?????? Our soldiers???????"

Dylan smiled a little embarrassedly when he was a teenager: "They fainted, and their lives are not in danger."

After speaking, Dylan put Shura back a little bit.

Then Dylan looked around, this ??????? Let's call it a castle.

In terms of the scale of the building, it should have been rich, but now it looks inexplicably ironic.

"Didn't you say that there are no soldiers in this kingdom?"

Balmond smiled wryly: "They are not the descendants of the first generation of 'knights'. After losing their status as a member country and facing more and more frequent looting, the nobles either fled here or died here."

"They?????? were originally civilians. In order to fulfill the promise of their ancestors, they took up arms."

"No wonder??????"

Dylan pondered for a moment, those people didn't look like soldiers no matter what.

"Wait a moment," Balmond thought of the king who was still sleeping soundly on the chair, although he was so stupid and incompetent, but anyway????????

"Country????? Your Majesty the King!?"

The No.13 king of the Girona royal family died on his "throne" with a smile on his face.

"Balmond? What's the matter with father?"

Suppressing the grief in his heart, Balmond took Camilla's shoulders with trembling hands.

"His Royal Highness Camila????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This country, you are the only heir left."

"Father, like mother and sister, have gone far away?"

"Please????? Please be strong??????"

"Ok!"

Although her body was still weak, Camila still responded heavily: "I will, Balmond, I promised my mother that I will not cry until I find support, and I will wait for them to come back!"

The young Camila still doesn't quite understand the meaning of "death". Some people told him that he fell asleep, and some said that he had gone to a far away place.

Dylan, not far away, sighed.

This is the East China Sea??????? The weakest sea.

Symbol of peace.

If this is the case in the East China Sea, then the situation in other sea areas and the "Great Shipping Route" can be imagined.

A rich place, but no strength to guard him.

Despite deeply sympathizing with the country, Dylan stood up and walked out the door.

Along the way, he has seen too many tragedies in the world, and this place is far away from the branch.

If you don't go back sooner, you will be scolded again.

Balmond watched the young navy who was about to leave move his mouth, but in the end he still didn't speak.

The navy??????? is the world government's navy after all???????

Just as Dylan walked to the gate, a slightly tired and crisp voice sounded from behind.

"Big brother!"

Ok?

Dylan turned around and looked at Camilla, who had a dusty face and was wearing a patchwork floral dress.

"what happened?"

Camilla supported the table and slowly walked towards Dylan. When she came to Dylan, Camilla bowed deeply to Dylan.

"Thank you for saving my soldiers. You are welcome to visit Girona next time. We will definitely treat you with the sweetest rice."

Camila raised her small face and showed a smile:

"If Girona is still around!"

Chapter 60 The Origin of Faith

"That's the way it was in the early days,"

Dylan sat cross-legged in the dilapidated "Palace Garden", drawing a vague map on the ground with branches.

"According to what you said, the people of the Kingdom of Girona still support the royal family, so the first thing to do is to gather the people together and resume production."

"But??????"

Balmond thought of the pirates who came here to plunder from time to time. Even if they planted food, it was just given to the pirates for nothing.

Dylan frowned and thought for a while, then said to Balmond: "Find someone who is familiar with the surrounding sea area and loyal enough to send me a letter back. Remember, you must be cautious enough! Otherwise, you will plant disaster for the future. !"

"I will stay here for two seasons. In the first quarter, I will ensure that the grain can mature smoothly."

"Second season, teach your soldiers how to take up arms, pirates—it's not that scary!"

goo~~~

A strange sound came, and Dylan looked at Camilla, whose face was slightly pale but shy and red.

"I??????"

Dylan looked at the others. The faces of the soldiers were also disheveled. The old man's beard was almost withered into straw.

"Are there any beasts anywhere near?"

"In the deep mountains to the north, there are some beasts?????"

"Call someone, bring a cart or something and follow me."

Dylan stood up, then bent down and touched Camilla's head: "Persist a little longer, we'll be back soon."

Camilla stood on tiptoe and watched Dylan and the coachmen disappear.

Although she was emaciated due to long-term hunger and turmoil, her hair was withered and yellow.

But at this moment Camilla's eyes lit up.

"Balmond,"
