Human greed has no limits, so it is unfair to use the wolf metaphor to describe greedy people.
At least, in this world, wolves are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. At least Mr. Boken, who belongs to the giant wolf clan, doesn't like people using the word "unfamiliar wolf" as an adjective: he is actually quite familiar with Vivian...
…
Of course, Des is just a metaphor. He actually has no prejudice against Grecken's giant wolf clan. He has never even seen such a huge demonic wolf with his own eyes.
Des, who was almost the first to follow Chris and witnessed the rise of Elland Hill, naturally knew how he rose.
It was by investing in Chris, a potential stock, that he finally achieved the great success of the Longtate family today. Moreover, as an imperial noble at the top of the pyramid, he also knew many secrets of the empire that others did not know.
The entire empire was built on Chris's knowledge, and Chris's knowledge now transcends this world and supports the development of this world.
Will a magician reason with a mortal? Even if the mortal is very rich, the magician will not feel that this mortal is different.
By the same token, whether in terms of law or force, His Majesty the Emperor Chris of Airanhir has absolute power over others. Those idiots who dare to challenge His Majesty the Emperor are not going to destroy themselves.
"They all claim to be businessmen, but in the end they forget what is the most important thing as a businessman. Isn't it sad?" Des shook his head, walked back to his seat, and sighed softly.
In his view, integrity is the foundation of a businessman. Earning the profits he should earn and insisting on doing what he should do on matters of principle is a qualified businessman.
Those who only care about money but forget their moral character are not businessmen. They can only be regarded as slaves blinded by money. Just like those blinded by magic power, they are just enslaved poor people.
Therefore, Des feels that those who are tempted and corrupted by magic cannot be called magicians, and those who are enslaved by money cannot be called businessmen.
"What's more..." Des sat in his seat and stroked the Longtate ring, which represented the power of his family, and gently rubbed the family emblem on it: "Even if it is just to make money, a real businessman should do
Make the most profitable choice."
He looked at the young emperor in the photo who was wearing military uniform and looked very heroic, with a smile on his face: "No matter how you look at it, you can make the most money by following His Majesty the Emperor..."
Des started from the previous few hundred thousand gold coins and invested in Chris in Serris City. In five years, he got hundreds of billions of gold coins in return.
If there is a ranking list for making money in this world, then the truly extremely wealthy Long Tate family is definitely not the number one, because Chris is truly the richest man in the world.
For Des, following Chris is more affordable and more profitable than replacing him. Why would he ignore Chris?
Sometimes power is a good thing, but sometimes it is a life-threatening talisman. For those who are not capable enough, too much power is a deadly poison.
While Des was killing the useless relatives of the Longtate family, other things were happening in other corners of the world.
Alain Hill's naval squadron collided with a demon fleet on the sea, and a fierce naval battle broke out between the two sides on the sea east of Piripi Island.
Six Elanthir artillery torpedo destroyers encountered the Demon Fleet. Then both sides wanted to test the strength of their opponents, so the two sides attacked each other with long-range weapons. In the end, Elantyr narrowly defeated their opponents.
Eleven demon warships were sunk, and Elanthir's navy lost three destroyers.
The naval battle ended with the Airancire Navy being forced to retreat, but this was also the first time that the Airancire Navy's surface ship force faced the Demon Navy head-on since the Magic Eye appeared on the Endless Sea.
Although the demons finally repelled the entanglement of Elanthir's navy, the significance of this naval battle was quite huge.
First of all, it proves that the Airansil Navy is capable of fighting the opponent head-on. Secondly, it also proves that the Airanshil Navy has begun to restore its combat capabilities, and the Wanli Sea Territory is no longer undefended.
After this fierce battle, the remaining Airan Hill naval squadrons became more confident and began to go to sea more actively to seek battles.
However, the Devil relied on its air superiority and proved its strength in the subsequent naval battle.
Using demon dragons, demon bats and other troops, the demons completely annihilated a squadron of Elanthir in the second encounter.
All 4 new destroyers were sunk by the Demonic Dragon, and the Airanci Navy lost hundreds of troops as a result. Although these four destroyers also sank 3 Demonic Warships before being sunk, overall, the Elancire Navy lost hundreds of troops.
I still lost the second naval battle.
In this way, a balance of power situation was formed on the maritime battlefield. Ailanshir was afraid of the opponent's air force and had to be cautious again.
For a navy that has not yet formed a large scale, losing seven destroyers in a few days is already a very unbearable thing.
Before receiving support and obtaining enough battleships, neither Genesis, nor Bakalov, nor even Emperor Chris were willing to send any more of their own battleships to suffer losses.
The Demon Navy, which increasingly felt that its opponent was powerful, became more cautious and did not dare to approach the coastline easily, seeking a head-on decisive battle with the Airanthil Navy.
Prince Salux believes that with the support of the Magic Eye and the steady stream of troops, the demon's advantage will continue to expand. It is indeed an unwise choice to frequently fight with Elanthir at this time.
After all, another magic eye brought good news. Neither the elves nor the dwarves could withstand the demon's attack, and they were already sure of victory.
The outcome of the two brief battles was uncertain, but as the number of intercepting submarines increased, the transportation line between the demons going south and the Magic Eye was attacked by Eiland Hill.
There is no need to mention the fact that the nuclear submarine Osa frequently chased and killed the Demon fleet. There were more and more ordinary submarines, which caused a lot of headaches for the Demon senior management.
It started with an attack by two ordinary submarines, and later expanded to four. These ordinary submarines that appeared on the devil's route caused huge losses to the devil's troops.
On average, a demon fleet will lose about 20 warships when passing through the Elanthir submarine blockade, which is much more efficient than Elantyr's surface ship force.
Although the demons were also trying to kill the submarines that made them miserable, their efforts ultimately failed.
The Demon Navy does not have any decent anti-submarine capabilities in the first place, and now it has no clue if it is rashly confronting the submarine force of Eiland Hill.
In the end, Prince Salux had no choice but to issue an order to conduct an attack on the southern region of Eilandhill.
"The direct purpose of the operation is to destroy the Osa Military Port! The worst result is to destroy the human naval base in the Osa Port and prevent the other party from sending that kind of diving weapon to harass our southbound fleet!" Salux
The prince stared at his men and spoke word by word.
He pointed at Ossa's position with his finger and said to a tall and muscular general standing in front of him: "I'll give you two floating castles and 300 battleships!"
Having said this, Salux clenched his fists with confidence: "Capture Ossa...or completely destroy it!"
The consecutive month of losses had made him forget the disastrous defeat in Ferry City. What's more, in the eyes of Prince Salux, the loser in the fierce battle in Ferry City was not necessarily the devil's side.
After all, he didn't know how heavy a blow the loss of Ferry City had to Eiland Hill's naval construction plan. If he had known, then his plan to attack Osa would have been more determined.
Even so, this attack plan is already very large: Salux plans to assemble 300 warships, 30,000 elite demon soldiers, as well as excellent weapons and other auxiliary materials.
What's more, these troops are also covered by two demonic castles and 500 warships. It is really too simple to attack an Osa port.
However, the warship sent for reconnaissance was sunk, and the Nail-like Pilipi Island outside Osa Port became the primary target of the demonic forces' attack.
They also didn't want to be flanked by the defenders on Piripi Island when attacking Osa Port.
Therefore, both the Demon General responsible for commanding the Osa landing battle and Prince Salux, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Demons, believed that attacking Pilipi Island first was a very correct choice.
The autumn air was crisp and the sea water had turned cold. At this time, more than 300 warships of the Demon Fleet began to gather northward, preparing to attack Piripi Island, and then use Pilipi Island as a base to attack the Osa Military Port at close range.
The demon army plans to use this to cut off the supplies of the Airansil Navy and make all the diving weapons lying on the route useless.
In order to achieve this goal, the surrounding demon fleets will gather and prepare to attack Piripi Island.
After learning from the reconnaissance satellite that the Demon Fleet was heading north, Lawns led his fleet between Piripi Island and Ossa, preparing to take the lead in finding a position to prepare for the Demon Fleet coming from afar.
The heaviest blow.
On the second day after the Demon Fleet left the port and headed north, the main fleet of Eiland Hill all left the port and assembled on the sea.
For a time, the endless sea was covered with clouds, and an unprecedented large-scale naval battle was about to break out near Pili Pi Island.
