Chapter 417 (1/2)
Magic guild.
In the study, oberlian's gloomy eyes flit over the high-definition magic image in front of him. Inside the image is a newly built large harbor, where hundreds of ocean going ships are moored, and occasionally new magic power ships can be seen sailing into the port.
The ships were all carrying the flags of different chambers of Commerce, a small part of them from the mainland of Singapore and Mongolia, and more from other continents far away. They brought in a huge amount of food, weapons and armor, horses, slaves and other resources, and continuously injected fresh blood into this newly born kingdom.
As an old super strong man, after living for more than 200 years, obellian, who is well-informed, naturally understands what this means. The country that Qin Feng established by himself grew faster than he expected.
Beside him, Antonio, who had just returned from the kingdom of yunsen, was also dignified and silent.
A middle-aged mage was reporting to him At present, it has been preliminarily identified that the number of regular troops of Starwood Kingdom has reached 250000, and the equipment level can be compared with that of the elite army of the grossaron empire. In addition, there are 100000 young adults under strict training, and it is expected that they will be formally incorporated into the army in three months
”In terms of internal affairs, the Kingdom has straightened out the domestic administrative system. With a large number of professional officials stationed in the newly collected cities, the local order has been stabilized. Moreover, some cities with important geographical position are expanding and strengthening. According to the secret observation of our informants, the new urban management system is simple and efficient, which is no less than those of the powerful and prosperous empires. ”
”Since Qin Feng established his country, he has been purchasing a large number of young slaves to increase the domestic population. According to incomplete statistics, the number of ordinary slaves he bought before and after has exceeded 400000, and more than one third of them have been incorporated into the army.”
”Today, the newly born Kingdom has more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land, a population of more than 7 million, and has obtained complete access to the sea, which means that their foreign trade and trade will be more prosperous in the future, and they will have a more convenient and faster channel for material transportation.”
“…… As long as they set up a huge fleet, they may expand southward along the coastline and wipe out all the principalities and kingdoms along the coast. ”
Finally, the mage said.
Antonio could not help saying: ”the navy has always been a costly service. How can it be so easy to build a fleet that can frighten the coastal countries on the mainland? Even if he has enough magic crystals, he can't train a fleet that can be used without more than ten years. ”
It's a common sense that it costs a lot to build a navy. Even those great empires with strong national strength want to build a huge fleet from scratch, they have to invest a lot of resources for many years before they can get what they want.
Obellian frowned: ”but according to the information we have, Qin Feng has plenty of resources. He does not lack magic crystal, otherwise he will not turn a blind eye to our difficulties. So it's not as difficult for him to have a sizable fleet as we think
What's more, it can be said that there are a lot of secret transactions between Qin Feng chamber of Commerce and those organizations that have bought large quantities of goods.
Antonio mused: ”he can't have such a lot of money. Is there any other big force behind the scenes to support him? Senger of the Royal Academy of magic? Or the bastards of the secret law union? ”
Obellian's face sank. This speculation is very likely. If Qin Feng does find other backers, his plot will undoubtedly fail, which will be a great disadvantage to Antonio's future plan for his rise.
He raised his hand to adjust the magic image, and began to examine the territory of the Starwood Kingdom, as well as the entire northeast of the continent.
Among the 29 continents in the world, Xingmeng is undoubtedly the most extensive one. There are more than ten big countries with a territory of more than ten million square kilometers, and there are hundreds of second, third and even non mainstream countries and forces.
Because of the cold climate, poor living conditions, sparsely populated land and inconvenient transportation in the northeast of the mainland, it has been a state of scattered sand for thousands of years, and no decent country has been born. At best, they are small principalities, city states and so on, sometimes with a few small kingdoms.
To the north of this newly born Starwood Kingdom, beyond the heishuang rock mountains, there is an endless expanse of ice fields. Various fierce Warcraft and ice giants run wild, which is basically not suitable for human survival and reproduction.
In the West and south of the Kingdom's border line, the neighboring countries are basically small and medium-sized countries. Only when we continue to go down 2000 kilometers to the south, will more powerful countries begin to appear.
”It seems that If what I expected is not bad, this Qin Feng intends to take all the Northeast territory into its pocket and build a real empire. ”
Oberlian watched for a long time and then walked slowly.
Antonio was startled, came and looked at it carefully and said, ”but how much strength can such a cold and bitter place have, even if it really establishes an empire? It's not comparable to the empires in the middle of the continent? ”Obellian said with a cold smile: ”it's a cold and bitter land, with tens of millions of square kilometers of land and tens of millions of people. If you can preach here and gather the power of faith for him to light the fire, you can at least be a medium God in the future?”
”How can this be true”
Antonio's face suddenly became extremely ugly: ”he dares not to listen to the orders of the magic guild and establish a country without authorization in order to confer gods? It's reckless and insane
This guy is not stupid. He immediately saw the progress of Yiqin Feng. He has a great possibility to go ahead of him and light the fire first. And because of the advantages of territory and population, it is easy for him to reach the level of medium divine power after being granted a deity in the future.
Clearly he is the most outstanding genius in the magic guild. How can the real son of heaven be compared with this wild boy who comes out of nowhere?
