151 Attack at sea
Quincy Rachel frowned and looked at the map, her expression slightly moved.
"Is it because of several iron ores in the Samarant Dutch?"
"That's right." Garn? Zoro nodded with a smile. "If I want to say, this Venetian Duke is very visionary and decisive. He was able to judge in such a short time that steel is the main material needed for the development of the magic industry, and then he made a quick decision to use the military magic machinery we provided him to attack the Principal of Samarante, which is really admirable."
Quincy Rachel stared at the map and looked carefully for a while, and nodded slowly.
"You are right. There are almost no iron ore in the Duke of Venice, and there are not even a few magic crystal mines. If you want to vigorously develop the magic industry, this natural condition restricts them very much. The Principal of Samarant happens to have rich resources in this regard. The Grand Duke of Venice is so straightforward and takes a great risk to attack the Principal of Samarant. It has to be said that he is really decisive."
"It's not just that. I suspect that he is taking the opportunity to express his determination to the president, and even... is forcing the president to express his opinion..." Gaen Zoro said in a deep voice.
"Hmm? Why do you think so?" Quincy Rachel was stunned.
Garn Zoro knocked on the map with his fingers on the place representing the Principal of Venice, and pondered: "Qincy, you have seen the Grand Duke of Venice, do you think he is an impulsive person?"
"No, no matter how he looks at it, he should be a very scheming person." Quincy Rachel shook his head. "Of course, this is also the scheming he should have as a grand duke."
"That's right." Garn Zoro nodded. "Although I appreciate that he can see that the core of the magic industry is to seize various resources, and with such amazing action, he resolutely launched an attack on the Principal of Samarante. But if you think about it carefully, given the current situation of the Principal of Venice, he doesn't have to choose to do this now."
"A safer way should be to continue to maintain cooperation with our chamber of commerce, and then continuously improve the level of magic industry, obtain more and better military magic machinery from our chamber of commerce, and then slowly improve its strength. After all, with the current situation of the Principal of Venice, it is not yet at the point where they need to start a war to plunder resources, right?"
Quincy Rachel was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
"That's right. But Jia Yen, what do you mean by saying that he deliberately forced the president to express his opinion?"
"The Principality of Venice was one of the first strategic partners we announced last time. It was also the first country to pass the second-level magic industry standard review of our Chamber of Commerce. So for the strategic partner promotion plan implemented by the President, it is a very representative country. You see, the President even specially rewarded them with a group of advanced military magic machinery as encouragement, which obviously expressed his different view of them. So the Grand Duke of Venice took such a fierce action. I think it was intentional. Because as the representative country of our Chamber of Commerce's plan, the President would inevitably be more biased towards them."
"Then do you think... will the President support him?" Quincy Rachel asked with a frown. "I think with the President's always temper, it may be an unforgettable lesson for such restless guys."
Garn? Zoro smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly.
"No, I don't think so. I think... the president had actually expected this a long time ago. The reason why he specially transported a batch of high-end military magic machinery to the Principal of Venice as a reward was to support the Grand Duke of Venice to do so."
"No?" Quincy Rachel was surprised. "Hasn't President President been a determined peace lover all the time? How could it be..."
"Who told you that Governor is a peace lover?" Garn Zoro glanced at him. "Do you think a peace lover would take the initiative to provoke the Magician Union headquarters?"
"This..." Quincy Rachel's expression sucked out. "This cannot be said to be the president taking the initiative to provoke, right? It is clearly because the Magician Union headquarters is forcing our Chamber of Commerce, and the president has no choice but to fight back."
"But if the president is interested in peace enough, this matter would not have developed to this point, right?" Garn Zoro spread his hands. "You see, the Magician Union has now broken his face with our Chamber of Commerce. As well as many countries on the mainland that are deeply involved in the Magician Union have also included our Chamber of Commerce on the unpopular list. Actually, I don't understand sometimes. The president cannot know the consequences of doing so, but why is he determined to do this?"
Quincy Rachel was silent for a while before sighing softly, shook her head and said, "We should not guess what President President thinks. As subordinates, we just need to do our duty."
Garn Zoro stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Quincy Rachel, chuckling, "Don't think I'm accusing the President from behind. In fact, I appreciate the President's approach. If I can't fight against the Magician Union, how could our Chamber of Commerce rob those precious magician resources from the rule of the Magician Union? You think so?"
Quincy Rachel gave Garn and Zoro a glance: "Okay, before going crazy, I advise you to study our route safety issues. The Chamber of Commerce headquarters has issued the latest warning, according to the information, the Magician Union has colluded with some countries and secret organizations in private, intending to cause trouble for our Chamber of Commerce. People like us who are wandering outside should be more vigilant."
Garn? Zoron curled his lips disdainfully: "No matter how powerful the Magician Union is, how can it still deal with us in this vast sea? I don't believe that there are other fleets in this world that can withstand the powerful attacks of our frigates at sea."
Quincy Rachel wanted to refute him a few words, but felt that he was right, because in fact, the frigate of the New Air Chamber of Commerce was indeed invincible on the Endless Sea. There was no need to worry about anything.
So he just shook his head, not much.
The straight-line distance of the Principal of Venice is about 3,000 kilometers from the Principal of Stantine, and the sea navigation distance is nearly 4,000 kilometers.
Although the magic ship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very fast, it still takes nearly a week to go.
After leaving the Duchy of Venice, the fleet headed towards the deep sea, and then headed towards the west about seventy or eighty kilometers away from the coastline.
The maritime route developed by the New Air Chamber of Commerce and the Kander Empire Naval Fleet is currently limited to the southern waters of the Kander Empire and has not yet developed into this sea area. Therefore, this fleet still needs to sail at least 1,000 kilometers before entering the magic signal control channel of the New Air Chamber of Commerce and contact the entire New Air Chamber of Commerce frigate and the Kander Empire Naval Fleet.
Before this, they were not much different from ordinary sea ships. They could only sail westward like blind people on the entire endless sea.
This journey lasts about two days and has always been a dangerous area that has been highlighted by the shipping department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. All fleets under the Chamber of Commerce are required to be vigilant.
However, relying on the powerful power of the frigate of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce easily sent out pirates, and never encountered any danger.
Over time, no pirates dared to provoke the fleets of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the fleet sailed on the endless sea became easier and easier.
Now Quincy Rachel reminds Garn and Zoro now to pay attention to navigation safety, but he just habitually reminds him, without much vigilance.
In fact, he didn't care much about the possible threats of the Magicians' Union.
After all, this is endless sea. Can the Magician Union still transport a large number of magicians to the sea to launch an attack?
However, early the next morning of the voyage, the vivid facts proved that everything in this world is possible...
"Damn it! How could there be so many magicians on the other side? And they are all high-level magicians!"
Looking at the more than ten giant wooden sea boats with strange appearances on the opposite side, they kept firing colorful, powerful and powerful magic toward this side. Jiaen Zoro's forehead burst out with blue veins.
"These guys are definitely not ordinary pirates!"
"boom……"
As soon as he finished speaking, several magic bullets had hit the hull, making a deafening explosion.
Even though he was separated by several cabins, 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 met a group of pirates who were blind, but who knew that when the fight started, the ship opposite could release so many high-level magic in one breath.
It is obvious that there must be a high-level magician on the ship opposite, and there are more than one, probably more than a dozen or even dozens!
Although magicians are not particularly rare on the Continent of Sainz, advanced magicians who can use advanced magic are very rare.
It is quite good to have a few low-level magicians in an ordinary pirate group, and it is almost impossible to have a high-level magician, and it is even more impossible to create dozens of high-level magicians in one go.
So Garn? Zoron is sure. The opposite side is definitely not a pirate, but more likely it is the army of which country.
Quincy Rachel, who was standing beside him, said in a deep voice: "Garne, do you think...will someone sent from the Magician Union headquarters across the street?"
Gaen? Zoro was stunned: "No way? The headquarters of the Magician Union is not so shameless, right? He really dares to attack one of our caravans directly? Aren't they afraid that the whole Magician Union will be out of shape?"
"If we all died here, no one would know what was going on." Quincy Rachel said with a serious expression.
"Bah! Who the hell is going to die here!" Gaen? Zoro spitted hard. "It's just some advanced magicians. Although the configuration on our fleet is not like the perverts of the guards, it's still okay to deal with some advanced magicians. Hehe, the magician union, who don't know how to be tall and thick, really think that mastering magic can solve everything? This time let's deal with them well!"
Quincy Rachel thought for a while, nodded, and relaxed.
"Well, at the speed of our fleet, the other party cannot catch up with us. If a magician is sent to attack, there is no need to worry about the firepower of the frigate. Moreover, our hull is harder than they imagined, so as long as it is not a big magician in person, we will be in danger..."
Quincy Rachel's voice suddenly stopped. He stared at the top of his eyes and looked straight ahead, his face full of horror.
Gaen Zoro was stunned and looked into the distance, and found a figure slowly rising from the ship opposite.
The entire space around the figure seemed to be in a state of chaos, which made people feel dizzy when they looked at it, but they couldn't help but be deeply attracted by the eyes and were unwilling to move away from their eyes.
This strange situation is clearly the appearance of space magic!
The two of them were stunned for a while, then looked at each other and let out a gentle breath.
"No..." (To be continued.)
