Quincy Rachel frowned and looked at the map, her expression moving slightly.
"Is it because of the several iron mines in the Samarante Principality?"
"That's right." Garn Sauron nodded with a smile. "If you ask me, the Grand Duke of Venice is very far-sighted and decisive. He was able to judge in such a short period of time that steel was the main material needed for the development of the magic industry, and then he made a prompt decision to use the materials we provided. The batch of military magic machines given to him to launch an attack on the Principality of Samarant is really admirable. "
Quincy Rachel stared at the map carefully for a while and nodded slowly.
"You are right. There are almost no iron mines in the Principality of Venice, and there are not even a few magic crystal mines. If they want to vigorously develop the magic industry, this natural condition will severely restrict them. And this Sama The Principality of Rand happens to be relatively rich in resources in this area. The Grand Duke of Venice can attack the Principality of Samarante so straightforwardly and take great risks. It must be said that he is very decisive. "
"Not only that, I suspect that he is taking the opportunity to express his determination to the president, or even... forcing the president to express his stance..." Garn Sauron said in a deep voice.
"Huh? Why do you think so?" Quincy Rachel was suddenly stunned.
Garn Sauron tapped the place on the map that represented the Principality of Venice with his finger, and said thoughtfully: "Quincy, you have also met the Grand Duke of Venice. Do you think he is an impulsive person?"
"No, no matter how you look at him, he should be a very dignified person." Quincy Rachel shook her head. "Of course, this is also the palace he deserves as a Grand Duke."
"That's right." Garn Sauron nodded. "Although I appreciate that he can see that the core of the magic industry lies in seizing various resources, and has such amazing power of action. He resolutely launched an attack on the Principality of Samarante. But think about it carefully. With Veni Given the current situation in the Principality, he doesn’t have to choose to do this now.”
"The safer way is to continue to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce, and then continuously improve the level of the magic industry, obtain more and better military magic machines from our Chamber of Commerce, and slowly increase our strength before doing this kind of work. Action. After all, the current situation in the Principality of Venice has not reached the point where they need to launch a war to plunder resources, right? "
Quincy Rachel was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
"That's right. But Ga Eun. What do you mean by saying that he deliberately forced the Chairman to express his position?"
"The Principality of Venice is one of the first batch of strategic partners we announced last time, and it is also the first country to pass the second-level magic industry standard review of our Chamber of Commerce. So for this strategic partner promotion carried out by the president, In terms of plans, it is a very representative country. You see, the president even specially rewarded them with a batch of high-end military magic machines as an encouragement, which is why the Grand Duke of Venice took such drastic measures. I think this action is intentional, because as the representative country of our chamber of commerce, the president is bound to be more biased towards them. "
"Then do you think... the president will support him?" Quincy Rachel asked with a frown. "I think with the President's usual temper, he might give this restless guy an unforgettable lesson."
Garn Zoro smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly.
"No. I don't think so. I think... The President has actually expected this. The reason why he specially shipped a batch of high-end military magic machines as rewards to the Principality of Venice was to support Venice. Shi Dagong did this."
"No way?" Quincy Rachel was greatly surprised. "Hasn't Mr. President always been a staunch lover of peace? How could..."
"Who told you that the president is a lover of peace?" Garn Zoro glanced at him. "Do you think a peace lover would take the initiative to provoke the Magician's Guild headquarters?"
"This..." Quincy Rachel's expression suddenly faded. "This can't be said to be a provocation by the president, right? It's clearly the Magician's Union headquarters that is forcing our chamber of commerce, and the president has no choice but to fight back."
"But if the president was peace-loving enough, this matter wouldn't have developed to this point, right?" Garn Sauron spread his hands. "You see, now the Magicians Guild has broken with our Chamber of Commerce, and even many countries on the mainland that are deeply involved with the Magicians Guild have also included our Chamber of Commerce on the unpopular list. In fact, sometimes I I don’t understand. It’s impossible that the president doesn’t know the consequences of doing this, but why does he still insist on doing it?”
After Quincy Rachel was silent for a while, she sighed softly, shook her head and said: "We should not speculate on the president's thoughts. As subordinates, we must do our part. Just work.”
Garn Zoro stretched out a finger, waved it in front of Quincy Rachel, and said with a smile: "Don't think that I am blaming the president behind his back. In fact, I appreciate the president. How can our Chamber of Commerce snatch those precious magician resources from the Magician Guild’s rule if we can’t fight against it?”
Quincy Rachel rolled her eyes at Garn Sauron: "Okay, before you go crazy, I advise you to study the safety of our routes. The Chamber of Commerce headquarters has issued the latest warning. According to intelligence, The Magician Guild has secretly colluded with some countries and secret organizations to cause trouble for our Chamber of Commerce. Guys like us who are wandering outside should be the most vigilant. "
Garn Sauron curled his lips disdainfully: "No matter how powerful the Magician Guild is, how can it still do anything to us on this vast sea? I don't believe there is any other fleet in the world that can resist us at sea. A powerful attack from the frigate.”
Quincy Rachel wanted to refute him, but felt that what he said was not wrong, because in fact, the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was indeed invincible in the endless sea, and there was nothing to worry about.
So he just shook his head. Not much or anything.
The straight-line distance between the Principality of Venice and the Principality of Standing is approximately more than 3,000 kilometers. The sea navigation distance is nearly 4,000 kilometers.
Although the magic ship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is very fast. But a trip still takes close to a week.
After the fleet left the harbor of the Principality of Venice, it headed for the deep sea, and then headed west on a sea area about 70 to 80 kilometers away from the coastline.
The sea routes developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kandra Empire Navy Fleet are currently limited to the southern waters of the Kandra Empire and have not yet developed into these waters. Therefore, this fleet needs to sail at least a thousand kilometers before it can enter the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The magic signal controlled the channel and contacted the entire New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet and the Candela Empire Navy fleet.
Before that, they were not much different from ordinary seagoing ships. On the entire endless sea, one can only sail westward like a blind man based on experience.
This journey will last about two days, and it has always been a dangerous area that has been highlighted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's shipping department, requiring all fleets under the Chamber of Commerce to be more vigilant.
However, relying on the powerful power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce frigates, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fleet occasionally encountered pirates, they easily dispatched them without encountering any danger at all.
As time went by, no pirates dared to provoke the fleets affiliated to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it became increasingly easier for the fleets to sail the endless sea.
Now Quincy Rachel reminds Garn Sauron to pay attention to navigation safety, and it is just a habitual reminder. There's not much to be wary about.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the possible threat from the Magician's Guild.
After all, this is the endless sea. Could it be that the Magician's Guild could still transport a large number of magicians to the sea to launch an attack
However, on the morning of the second day of the voyage, the vivid facts proved that everything in this world is possible...
"Damn! How can there be so many magicians on the opposite side? And they are all high-level magicians!"
Seeing the dozen or so strange-looking huge wooden ships on the opposite side constantly firing various colorful, powerful and seemingly powerful magics towards this side, veins burst out in Garn Zoro's forehead.
"These guys are definitely not ordinary pirates!"
"Boom..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several magic bullets hit the hull of the ship, making a deafening explosion.
Even though they were several cabins apart, Garn Zoro could clearly feel the terrifying power of these magic bullets, and he couldn't help but feel even more irritated.
I thought I just encountered a group of blind pirates, but who knew that when the fight started, the ship on the opposite side could actually release so many high-level magics in one go.
Obviously, there must be a high-level magician on the opposite ship, and it's not just one, there should be a dozen, or even dozens!
Although magicians are not particularly rare in the Sainz continent, high-level magicians who can use high-level magic are very rare.
It would be pretty good to have a few low-level magicians in an ordinary pirate group, but it is almost impossible to have high-level magicians, let alone dozens of high-level magicians in one go.
So Garn Sauron can be sure that the opponent is definitely not a pirate, but more likely an army of some country.
Quincy Rachel on the side looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Garn, tell me... could the person on the other side be someone sent from the Magician's Guild Headquarters?"
Garn Sauron was startled: "Isn't it possible? The Magician's Guild Headquarters is not so shameless, right? It actually dares to attack one of our caravans directly? Aren't they afraid that the matter will spread out and make the entire Magician's Guild lose face? ?"
"If we all die here, no one will know what happened." Quincy Rachel said seriously.
"Bah! Who the hell wants to die here!" Garn Zoro spat hard. "It's just some high-level magicians. Although the configuration of our fleet is not like the perverts in the escort team who can even defeat the great magicians, it is still no problem to deal with some high-level magicians. Hehe, what about the Magicians' Union? Do you really think that mastering magic can solve everything? Let us take care of them this time!"
Quincy Rachel thought for a while, nodded, and relaxed.
"Well, with the speed of our fleet, the opponent can't catch up with us. If we send magicians to attack, with the firepower of the frigate, there is no need to worry. And our hull is far harder than they imagined, so as long as it is not a big magic Master is here in person, we are in no danger..."
Quincy Rachel's voice suddenly stopped. His eyes widened suddenly and he looked straight ahead, with a look of horror on his face.
Garn Zoro was stunned and looked into the distance, and saw a figure rising slowly from the opposite ship.
The entire space around that figure seemed to be in a state of chaos, making people feel dizzy just looking at it, but they couldn't help but be deeply attracted and unwilling to look away.
This weird situation is clearly a manifestation of space magic!
The two were stunned for a while, then looked at each other and exhaled softly at the same time.
"No way..." (To be continued...)
