"Lengthening their supply lines will make it difficult for even the Goblin United Chamber of Commerce to ensure cross-sea supplies."
"When they go back in batches to resupply, it will be our time to counterattack!"
Matthew's eyes shone with a frightening cold light, he drew his sword and pointed it south.
That is the home of the Goblin United Chamber of Commerce.
Chapter 223 Mother Earth is deceiving you
Matthew rarely takes the initiative to provoke others, but if someone hits him on the head and doesn't fight back, that's not him.
After learning of the naval blockade of the United Goblin Chamber of Commerce, he immediately responded.
Reverse blockade.
The Goblin United Chamber of Commerce has business all over the world. They have a powerful maritime force comparable to the navies of major powers, and they also maintain many branch fleets called escort fleets that are actually pirates.
The huge fleet ensures their maritime hegemony, but maintaining a maritime force of this size also consumes a large amount of materials.
Judging from the battle report reported by Debray, the Goblin United Chamber of Commerce adopted a strategy of supporting war with war.
The supplies that can be plundered by robbing sea lanes are limited. They mostly use the mobility of the fleet to continuously mobilize troops to land on the southeastern coast of the Kingdom of Phoenix and plunder villages and people.
It would take at least half a month for the fleet to go back and forth from the Sauron Islands to the Kingdom of Phoenix. Without local supplies, they would have to travel back and forth. They simply couldn't bear it.
Matthew's countermeasures directly hit their vital points.
Since maritime trade cannot be done, then simply stop doing it!
The Goblin United Chamber of Commerce does not dare to offend several major countries at the same time, so they do not dare to block the fleets from the three major empires.
Matthew can solve the extra trade gap by strengthening cooperation with the Claire Empire.
The Kingdom of Phoenix is rich in materials and fertile land. As long as there is no internal chaos, it is more than enough to support itself.
If you don't engage in trade, you will just be poorer, but if you invest a huge amount of manpower and material resources in coastal defense, you will drag yourself down.
Matthew's meaning is very simple. I have given up on the ocean. If you have the ability, go ashore and have a decisive battle.
Let’s not talk about whether the United Goblin Chamber of Commerce has this ability. Even if it does, the gods who come ashore to fight with the punishment of crossing the sea will have to kneel down.
Even in the 20th century, landing operations were a very difficult method of combat, let alone in this world.
After hearing Matthew's decision, Debray was sincerely convinced and offered his compliments without hesitation.
Matthew waved his hand to interrupt his flattery, and said angrily: "Okay, stop bragging. I didn't predict the actions of the United Goblin Chamber of Commerce in advance, nor did I respond in time. This is all my fault." ’s fault.”
"Debre, Brun, you are all veterans who have followed me for many years. If I have done anything wrong, please point it out in person. Not only will I not be angry, I will also reward you heavily!"
Subsequently, Matthew made a series of important instructions in terms of domestic affairs, diplomacy, people's livelihood, and commerce.
This debriefing session lasted from noon to late at night, consuming countless brain cells of Matthew.
Watching Bren and Debray leave, Matthew sighed softly, feeling a little helpless.
He knew very well that his relationship with Brun and Debray would only be that of monarch and subject, and would never go back to the past.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention that Matthew is a man-eating tiger?
Matthew didn't pay too much attention. He also knew very well that people will always change as their identity, strength and status change.
To say it's the same as before is indeed a bit self-deceiving.
Just like him and Andrenee, they couldn't go back.
Thinking of Andrenee, Matthew had a headache.
They are obviously a couple approved by the gods, but why is their relationship so much colder than before?
After knowing Andrene's true identity, the good brothers couldn't do anything anymore, but she couldn't break through the demonic barrier in her heart, so the couple was only in name.
Marrying a wife in name but losing your best brother is a loss no matter how you think about it.
Andrenee is now obsessed with practicing, and she doesn’t know how often she comes out.
Thinking of her, Matthew left the castle and flew towards Crescent Lake Manor.
Andrenee's situation is different from that of other contractors, so she rarely lives in the manor, but still lives by the Crescent Lake.
There, her cultivation progressed faster and became more efficient.
When Matthew landed on the bank of Crescent Lake, he was surprised to find that there was a light on in the house.
It seems that Andrenee has finished her training, so today is the right time.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
A heroic voice floated from inside the house.
Very good, very energetic, it seems that Andre is in the house today.
The door opened slowly, and Matthew strode in with a smile on his face.
The moment he saw Andreni, Matthew was stunned. He really couldn't tell whether it was Andreni or Andre who appeared today.
Her long hair is tied up and tied into a ponytail. Although this hairstyle is more common among girls, many men with long hair do it for the convenience of fighting.
She is wearing a unisex top and trousers, and is open to both men and women.
If she is treated as a girl, her temperament is very close to Diana; if she is treated as a boy, she is much softer than Andre before.
It's a bit like Shirley's feeling when she was imprisoned.
It’s that feeling of not being able to distinguish between men and women.
Perhaps seeing through Matthew's doubts, Andrenee asked him to sit down with a smile, poured him a cup of tea, then stopped her smile and said seriously:
"Matthew, I know you have been struggling these past few months. In fact, I am the same. This mentality has even affected my practice."
“But now I’ve figured it out!”
Just think about it, Matthew is sincerely happy for Andrenee.
Whatever choice she made, he would happily accept it.
Regardless of whether it's the return of a good brother or multiple wives, it's all a good thing, and it's better than hanging around like this.
He asked happily: "Congratulations! By the way, what is your choice?"
"I have been lost in a strange circle, struggling with whether I am Andre or Andreni. Now I have figured it out! Whether it is Andre or Andreni, they are the real me."
"Since it's all me, why do I have to choose?"
Andreni looked serious and said solemnly: "As you said, you must learn to accept and like your own gender. Andre and Andreni are both my gender."
Looking at Matthew's dull eyes, she coughed lightly and asked softly: "Isn't it too greedy?"
"of course not!"
Matthew slapped the table so hard that the tea cup jumped up, startling Andrene.
"You're right, we were all wrong. No matter which side it is, it's the real you."
He stretched out his big hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations on finding your true self!"
Andrenee hesitated for a moment, stretched out her slender little hand and held it with Matthew.
At this moment, she forgot her gender and felt no discomfort at all. She even felt that Matthew's hand was strong and warm.
She teased half-jokingly: "If this happens, I may not be able to be your real wife. Can you accept it?"
"Don't even think about it! You will always be my wife. Our wedding was witnessed by the gods and all the guests. Don't even think about running away."
Andrenee's face turned red, of course she knew what Matthew meant.
What she said was that she couldn't sleep with Matthew for the time being. What Matthew said was that no matter whether they were married or not, she was his wife.
They seemed to be chatting across servers, but they clearly understood each other's feelings.
That's how they get along.
No matter what they do, they always understand each other.
This kind of relationship is actually not bad.
Matthew thought silently in his heart, looking at the two people's hands holding each other, and thinking of Andrene's special physique, he reluctantly let go of his hand.
However, as soon as he let go, Andrenee held her tightly.
The two of them didn't speak or make any further movements. They just had a cup of tea in front of them and held their hands together.
After an unknown amount of time, Andrenee was very reluctant to break the silence.
She slowly let go, but the smile on her lips grew wider.
"Thank you, Matthew."
"It is a husband's duty to take care of his wife, no need to be polite."
Andrenee did not refute Matthew's statement. She even felt that the title wife sounded good when Matthew said it.
"Give me some time, okay?"
Matthew looked at Andrenee affectionately, leaning forward slightly, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Of course, we have at least 3000 years to wait."
Seeing Matthew's face getting closer and closer, Andrene's heartbeat was also speeding up.
She was a little panicked because she was not sure whether she could accept Matthew's kiss.
But now the atmosphere has reached, and it would be too cold to refuse.
In a dilemma, Andrenee suddenly came up with an idea and leaned forward to leave a gentle kiss on Matthew's cheek.
Just one click and escape immediately.
Andrenee quickly sat back in her seat, her serious expression seeming to tell Matthew that this is the end of the night.
Matthew touched his cheek and closed his eyes, as if recalling that lightning-fast moment.
Just when Andrenee thought Matthew was angry, he slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Renee, this is the kiss that touches my heartstrings the most."
This is not a lie, but the truth.
Andrenee was able to take the initiative to kiss her. Although it was just a scratch, it also represented her feelings.
She didn't reject it, but gradually moved the seal in her heart.
Maybe one day she can break the seal through her own changes.
Matthew vaguely felt that it would be better to break the seal on his own than to ask someone to break it.
When Andrenee breaks the seal, Andre and Andrenee can truly merge into one and become the real her.
The atmosphere at this time was warm and slightly ambiguous. Andreni enjoyed this feeling very much, but also worried about gains and losses.
After a long time, she asked curiously: "By the way, there was worry and anger in your eyes just now. Did something happen to you?"
In front of Andrenee, Matthew didn't need to hide anything and simply told the truth about the Goblin United Chamber of Commerce.
Andrenee frowned slightly and said with some confusion: "Although the Goblin United Chamber of Commerce has a base and a navy, their army combat effectiveness is a joke. What is their purpose of doing this? Do they really think they can go ashore to deal with us? ?”
"I don't think they acted alone."
Matthew confirmed her idea and snorted, "No need to say this. The hungry wolves from the grassland and the sharks from the sea are all looking at us with bloodthirsty eyes!"
Andrenee knocked on the table hard and said calmly: "Since we have nothing to do with the shark for the time being, let's attack its accomplice, the hungry wolf."
Matthew was stunned for a few seconds and clapped his hands vigorously to cheer Andrene's idea.
"You are right. Zalandin has invaded our country and is our enemy. He is also a heretic. There is no need for a reason to deal with him."
You fight yours and I fight mine. Why should we fight according to the enemy's preset ideas?
The mind opens up and the solution to the problem comes instantly.
Matthew brought military maps and made plans with Andrenee.
The biggest problem in dealing with Zalandin's Huoxun Khanate is not how to defeat the opponent head-on, but how to deal with the grassland nomads who come and go like the wind.
Their ability to fight head-on is weak, but their ability to pull back and forth is great.
The grassland is their home, and they are very familiar with the terrain there. It is not easy to catch them there.
Although Matthew is a powerful magician, and Aishania, who possesses the magical crystal ball, is a top detection master, flight detection is not omnipotent.
