Extraordinary Voyage

Chapter 486 Meeting Ceremony of the Church of the Furious Waves

After the news spread of the Armada’s disastrous defeat in the “Battle of Benin”, The world was in an uproar.

First up is the Southern Continent, which is just a short distance away.

War is always a means, and the interests behind it are the strong driving force. As long as the resources are not infinite, world peace will always be just a beautiful dream.

Taking this opportunity, Tulip immediately set off a carnival feast for the counter-offensive and liquidation of Cyrus after recovering all the lost territory occupied by Cyrus!

Especially in the previous naval battles, the Cyrus fleet had a large number of elite troops participating in the battle, but before they really started their best side battles, they were already invincible with the no longer invincible. The fleet was buried in the sea.

The utterly empty colony of Cyrus is not much better for tulips than a little white rabbit who is harmless to humans and animals.

The most mobile Alwin and his party were in charge of the second largest colony belonging to Cyrus, Metical on the southeast coast of the Southern Continent, and further east was the Eritrean Sea leading to the Peacock Islands.

As they cooperate with the army, they only need to be responsible for the formation. In the sporadic urban strongholds along the way, after the essence has long been swept away, most Cyrus soldiers face the menacing tulips. People simply run away.

Bang! boom! boom!

Among the sporadic gunfire.

Seeing that the colonial capital of Metica has been captured all the way, without even fighting a decent battle, Gary patrols the front, and Alwin, Olivia, and Milan, who have nothing to do, hid in the tent. Divide the spoils inside.

“One for you, one for me!”

“One for you, one for me!”

The spills of war looted along the way, in addition to the gold that is abundant here , In addition to ivory jewelry, Southern Continent deserves the reputation of the world’s gem warehouse. All kinds of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, chrysoberyls, emeralds, aquamarines, amethysts, peridots, tourmalines. Everything.

Apart from this, in front of a few people there was one after another grape-sized red glowing essence fruit.

The long-lost opening of “Extraction Potions” after the naval battle, the large-sized “Long-nosed Silver Shark” was not wasted at all, and all flesh and blood became a supplement for their promotion on the extraordinary road.

spell The essence fruit of the side sea monster is of course a great supplement to the wizards. Since it is Alwin’s battle strength product, he enjoys complete control.

I had been hiding and tucking them until Angel, who was on the verge of the door, successfully used them to reach the limit before promotion, and Alwin now took them out and distributed them with Olivia and Milan.

“It would be nice if I could come here once a month.”

The “magic pocket” that patted Alwin gave him was like an animal stomach, Milan licked it The lips sighed.

Olivia, who also had a good harvest next to her, was nodding hard, looking like she couldn’t agree any more. It was even more refreshing to move forward this way than to raid her home. In addition to the “Gem Star”, other types of ordinary witchcraft gems have all been filled and there is a surplus.

“The kingdom’s choice of Metical is indeed right. If it is replaced by the Taro Kingdom to go to Antananarivo, although there may be more gold coins, it may not be able to have such a suitable unexpected harvest.”

As the two strongest among the victors of the war, Phalatis and the Kingdom of Taro have long discussed a plan to divide the spoils.

First, they joined forces to carve up the inheritance of the Kingdom of Ilia, and posted an autumn fat for their own fiercely.

Then Phaletis came to Metical, and the Kingdom of Taylor went to the southernmost point of the Southern Continent, in the Eritrean Sea, on the island of Antananarivo across the sea from the Southern Continent.

The production of various herbs, mainly vanilla, ranks first in the world, and is usually used for flavoring, making spices or extracting essential oils, and is profitable as a necessities of life.

“I think the reason why the high-level officials of the kingdom chose this place is not these gems. It’s that this place, like Nigeria on the west coast, has rich coal resources.”

“Coal ?”

Milan didn’t know why, Olivia thought.

Coal is the thing that other non-industrialized countries don’t care about, but it is the food that the steam industry of the Kingdom of Phalatis depends on.

Alwin, who proposed the “Overlord Disqualification Plan”, took a long-term view than many people, and he saw through the real thoughts of the kingdom’s high-level officials at a glance.

The plans mainly include the “Blood Loss Plan” based on legal private plunder; the “Trade War” based on cheap industrial products; and the “Dismemberment Plan” based on ethnic and religious conflicts.

The core of which is the “trade war”, or the steam industrialization revolution behind the “trade war”. The other two are used to weaken the enemy, and only this one is inherently powerful.

Before the Industrial Revolution, although human beings had made many dazzling achievements in agriculture, science and technology, culture, etc., the situation of insufficient food and commodities remained unchanged.

Both individuals and society have poor ability to resist risks. A natural or man-made disaster immediately destroys the family or even the country collapses.

But after the Industrial Revolution, for the first time in history, human beings have allowed the supply of commodities to exceed demand, that is, from an era of material scarcity to an era of material abundance.

For example: 50 ballpoint pens for 9 yuan and 9 yuan for free shipping. This is something that only a big industrial country can do.

Industry has the magic power to turn any in-demand goods into street goods!

Only when material civilization is enriched can more people be fed, more social division of labor can be created, and more people can be full-time soldiers, doctors, workers, businessmen, scholars, inventors, artists, etc. , to create a modern society that is full of vigor and vitality.

Which one is more powerful than the simple agricultural and animal husbandry society of the past? obvious at a glance.

So, the industrial revolution is a major turning point in the process of human civilization.

As for why the Tulip Alliance, especially the Kingdom of Phaletis, is the most popular place for steam engines in the entire human civilization world?

Because Pharretis was actually the first place in the entire human world where coal was discovered. Before the discovery of coal mines in the colonies, Pharetis produced 80% of the world’s coal production!

It is also one of the important reasons why the alchemy school returned to the old continent and chose Pharretis as the bridgehead.

In addition, the development of the steam industry is inseparable from sufficient iron, but for Faretis, who popularized the steam engine in Early-Stage, iron is the most lacking.

Because at that time, iron production was determined by the forest area.

You need to mix charcoal and iron ore to produce qualified iron. About 100kg of wood can only produce 1kg of iron. At that time, an ordinary iron factory would consume 2,400 mu of forest a year.

As a result, the forest coverage of Phaletis even dropped to 10% at one point.

Until a few years ago, they took the lead in finding a way to use coke to smelt iron, and this situation was fundamentally reversed.

If things go on like this, it may not take a few years for the iron production of Pharetis alone to be more than the iron production of the rest of the world combined. In this era when the number of artillery pieces represents military power, iron production is almost equal to military power!

With the development of steam engines, the long-distance voyage ironclads can be expected in the future. These coal-producing areas distributed in the coastal areas will become excellent supply points.

After explaining the importance of this site to the two of them, Alwin turned around and looked at the large military map in the camp that turned from red to blue, and some worriedly said:

“ The only thing that makes me a little uneasy now is, where did the remnants of the fleet that escaped in the spirit of the storm go? Why can’t even the seagulls find them?”

Simultaneously.

The colonial capital of the Sark Empire, the city of Saint-Louis.

In the love nest for the “Canary”.

Prince Clement, governor of the Southern Continent of the Sark Empire, hugged his lover’s slender and soft waist and rubbed his ears and temples, coveting the infinite beauty of this “beauty”, and sharing the military with him without hesitation ‘s report:

“My Diana, you see, thanks to your advice. This time Cyrus suffered a big loss, allowing us Sark to follow without a single soldier. Cheap, you are really my lucky star!

I have told Your Majesty about you, and when the award is awarded, you will be Dame Diana! Are you happy?”

Sark, who has a lot of interest in Southern Continent, took this opportunity to profit from somebody’s misfortune and won several resource points that belonged to the Cyrus enclave.

However, their common tacit understanding is that Lobito, the largest colony of Cyrus, is also one of the areas with the most abundant natural resources such as minerals and forestry in the entire Southern Continent, and no one has moved for the time being.

That was the last face of Cyrus, who didn’t have much territory in the Southern Continent.

“Of course. Happy.”

But Clement didn’t realize that the smile on the face of the beauty in his arms was very far-fetched.

Diana, who is also the “Curse School” Phanes, although she doesn’t know the allusions about three years later and three years later, she also feels that her undercover work is really unpleasant.

What if this playboy, who is more and more infatuated with him, suddenly proposes to him one day? Promise, promise, or promise?

The Cyrus people, who are experiencing the wall falling and being pushed by everyone, do not know that the doom above their heads has not stopped there.

Half a month after the war, another explosion of bad news was brought back to the colony by a merchant ship out to sea.

There are still seventeen remaining small half-fleet fleets, not repaired at some secret naval base as everyone initially expected, trying to turn around and wait for an opportunity to fight again.

But when evacuating towards Luanda, he encountered a super rainstorm at sea, and the whole army was wiped out!

The merchant ship found the broken Cyrus battleship hull on a desert island near the route, and a three-person survivor squad, both human and physical evidence.

This also means that Cyrus’ last military force in the Southern Continent has been completely emptied, and the only suspense left for Tulip has been settled.

But bigger doubts arose, the rainstorm that can destroy a fleet, why didn’t the tulips that also returned in the later period come across?

When Alwin received this heavy news, he hurriedly returned from Metical who had completed the strategy. By the way, he was ready to help An Qi, who had completely completed the promotion preliminaries, for the official wizard promotion.

However, unexpectedly, I received a letter from Spirit World from Fisher, the dean of the Church of the Nuts. The content is very short and only one sentence:

“The welcome gift from the Church of the Nuts to Tulip, I hope you can Like it.”

Obviously.

In the past, the “Mother of Sea Monsters” hated all human beings, which was closely related to His path, a contradiction that no one could reconcile. Even if the big voyage is in full swing, no Human Kingdom wants to have a relationship with the master of the Black Sea, and the best attitude is to stay away.

But Hippo Noah, the “Goddess of the Black Sea” who was banned for 300 years, is a human being himself a god, but this is not necessarily the case.

At this time, I don’t know which peak powerhouse made a very explicit gesture to the Armada.

However, Alwin saw Fisher’s letter, and when he finally cleared his doubts, his scalp tightened, like being stung by a scorpion, and immediately sent it back to his homeland.

Let’s give the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the lords of the capital a headache.

Associating the situation of the Church of the Raging Waves and the Goddess, the back of the lavishness must represent trouble! Big trouble!
