They all muttered, Yin En didn't think that the 19th Legion came to the maze to take a walk and relax.
It would be better to say that the Nineteenth Legion did not plan to make a fortune in the maze, which is really incredible.
The labyrinth in the Terra continent represents danger, opportunity, monsters, wealth, ancient heritage, precious materials and "sustainable productivity".
Owning a maze is equivalent to owning a huge, almost inexhaustible treasure house.
Not to mention anything else, as long as you can use the ecology in the maze to breed specific rare monsters, in this world that needs monsters as various sublimation materials, it is equivalent to renewable gold.
Even more precious.
As long as you are strong enough and can develop the maze instead of being bombarded by the maze, then wealth will indeed be at your fingertips.
As for the level of the Great Labyrinth, in addition to representing a huge amount of wealth and resources, it can also basically be equated to a 'big family' and a 'big power'.
If a family or a force can control an entire maze, their surnames and names will be spread throughout the continent.
Their sublimators will emerge in an endless stream, their high-level combat power will not be cut off, and they will have enough wealth and resources to enable all members of the family to read, learn knowledge and technology, and master the highest productivity.
Yin En knew very well that Viscount Grant had this idea in mind, so he had always planned to conceal the information about the South China Sea Labyrinth and the ruins, and wanted to develop it alone.
But obviously, this idea is no longer realistic.
Apart from anything else, the South China Sea Fleet, which is supposed to fight other countries' fleets, now wants a piece of the pie.
Theoretically speaking, it is the South China Sea Fleet's duty to expel other countries' fleets, but if everything is done according to principles and rules, there will be less trouble in this world.
Now that the maze is not fully open, it is impossible for the Viscount to allow them to enter. In this case, it is normal for the South China Sea Fleet to come to the maze to try to make a fortune.
Perhaps Viscount Grant acquiesced - there must be some political struggles and extremely complex maneuverings behind this that he was unaware of.
But here comes the problem.
Regardless of the struggle, Yin En has no intention of letting them succeed.
"You want to explore the maze, right?"
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Yin En stared at the dome of the crystal cave. He murmured to himself: "It's time to let everyone know the dangers of the maze and explore it cautiously."
"What I need is for adventurers to remove the traps in the maze step by step and eliminate dangerous monsters. This is not a violent development for you people."
Yin En raised his voice: "Shark, let's go!"
"Oh! (Go, go, go!)"
at the same time.
South China Sea Fleet.
"Sir, according to what Master Gesai said, there are still quite a lot of dangerous monsters in the maze. If we approach rashly like this, it is very likely that the monsters will attack..."
The officer of the South China Sea Fleet, Baron Gwen, was listening to the report of his subordinates. When he heard this, he gently patted his hand to signal the other party to stop.
The experienced old naval noble raised his head impatiently, then stared at his deputy and said, "So we won't go?"
"Of course not..." the adjutant paused.
"Since it's not the case, then you should be prepared to deal with the attack of the monsters instead of telling me here that 'the front is very dangerous.'"
The adjutant was helpless: "Sir, if there is an attack by a second-level sea monster, and the fleet does not deploy a defensive formation and release its naval battle armor to intercept it, then there is a high probability that we will not be able to stop it."
And Baron Gwen was happy: "With such a big fanfare, do you want to be discovered by Little Grant? This is a tacit agreement among the nobles. Let's come to the maze to find some wealth. He has the first batch of maze explorers to give back information."
"But this is not allowed by the empire. We are now patrolling the sea area, 'accidentally entering a labyrinth', 'accidentally being attacked by monsters', and 'forced to defend ourselves' - and little Grant has no idea about this, do you understand?"
The adjutant choked, of course he understood - how many times have they taken advantage of this kind of loophole?
But the problem is, the advantages they took advantage of in the past were all small mazes and small places. Where can the big maze in the South China Sea be so dangerous?
According to Master Gosei, there are crystal dragons, insect nests, and even other possible 'second-level monsters' inside this maze... Although no third-level monsters have appeared for the time being, with the power of the large maze,
It is estimated that it will be conceived within a few years.
The South China Sea Fleet just has a big name. To put it bluntly, it is part of the 19th Army. Its scale is far from comparable to that of the Empire's Quiet Sea Fleet.
The second level strong person is only Baron Gwen.
When encountering a second-level monster, the fleet will definitely suffer losses. The unlucky ones will not be the Baron, but the soldiers like them who will take the blame.
"I am not the only one behind this."
But Baron Gwen is obviously not really brainless. He has other tasks. After knocking his adjutant, he gave some news to reassure the other person: "The order given by the Marquis just last night, we have to evaluate the South China Sea."
The Danger of the Great Maze.”
"If possible, we will build a squadron station in Port Harrison."
"After all, the two second-level Tenglan giant eels on O'Dell Reef have temporarily disappeared, and the threat that affected the fleet's cruise no longer exists. In order to better protect the empire's merchant shipping routes and prevent the next similar flying flames,
With the Canaan-Moorish fleet approaching territorial waters, the construction of a squadron base is necessary."
"Really?!"
The adjutant was shocked. Building a squadron station in Harrison Port? Wouldn't this mean a direct struggle for power with Viscount Grant? But the Marquis of Barton essentially meant the imperial capital, and it was a test from above. No wonder he couldn't let the other party discover the real truth.
the goal of.
If you really want the other party to find out, the other party will naturally not dare to fight openly, but what if Viscount Grant is shameless and uses ether weapons to pretend that he is a Warcraft and sinks several main battleships of their second fleet?
At that time, they can only rely on Viscount Grant to defend the South China Sea, and there will be no way to investigate him.
This is the confrontation between local and central governments. On the surface, it is "yes, yes, yes", but in fact they refuse to implement it, they violate it openly and secretly, and they even fight secretly.
"In the final analysis." Baron Gwen looked at the dark night sky: "How can it be possible for the Grant family to monopolize the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea? The Marquis and the Legion will definitely have a share of the pie... The more we do, the more we can share later.
"
"But sir." The adjutant was still a little depressed and puzzled: "Is it possible that the Tenglan giant eel disappeared because there was a more powerful second-level monster in the maze? Not to mention the wealth of the maze, sir, orders are not absolute.
, there is no need for us to work so hard..."
For these military leaders, unless they are ordered to perform a certain task by name, most of them can do whatever they can. Preserving their own strength is the most important thing.
"If it were true, we would have been attacked when we were cruising a few days ago. How could it be possible..."
"Report! High-energy response ahead!"
At this moment, a rather inappropriate and sharp alarm sounded: "Trace of the second-level monster has been detected in the surrounding waters!"
The slap in the face came so fast that no one could react.
After reacting, the South China Sea Fleet commander's face became very exciting.
If the adjutant had to describe the change in Baron Grave's expression, he would definitely say 'like a human-shaped squid'.
In almost a breath, the old nobleman's face changed several colors, and finally turned into ink-like black.
Without saying anything, he immediately stood up and looked around the surrounding sea area.
Immediately afterwards, he froze on the spot.
Because, just off the coast not far away, a huge oval-shaped blue luminous body, carrying wisps of arcs, was speeding towards the South China Sea Fleet at an incredible speed!
