Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 510: Sown island and territory replacement
mid-May.
The sun is shining and the blue sky is like washing.
Five hundred kilometers west of the Kingdom of Falates, a Tier 4 battleship with the blue long flag of Falates stayed on the sea in the form of a sailboat braking.
On the deck, two men and one woman, three young men in navy uniforms and wizard robes, are raising their hands around a brass instrument composed of rune discs, crystals, gears... With a long curse.
sing along with them.
A blue beam of light shot up from that weird instrument straight up to the cloud, and a bright ring of light burst out, beautifully.
at the same time.
There are different numbers of beams of light rising simultaneously in their north, south, and east.
detu——
The last curse sounded that seemed to contain inexplicable fear.
Centered on numerous blue light beams, invisible waves of light spread rapidly.
In this huge oval sea area, which may have a total area of more than 160,000 square kilometers, humans and various animals were instantly enveloped in a deep sense of panic, and they could no longer care about others, and flee desperately.
The effect of the spell has only one effect: biological expulsion.
but.
This is the sixth activation of [Witchcraft·Biological Expulsion] within three days. The animals that fled out have been sparse, and the remaining ones are simply unlucky ones that can only drift with the flow, or even cannot move at all. Egg.
Soon life in this area is almost extinct. Although it is still the blue sea and blue sky, it looks obviously a little lifeless after losing most of the creatures.
It took three days for to finally complete the task of socializing, and the only woman among the three let out a sigh of relief:
"Anthony, guess what the kingdom is going to do?"
"Come, look at my eyes."
Hearing this, Anthony rolled his eyes vigorously so that Dilis could see the whites of his eyes.
Alva, the brown-haired young man next to , laughed heartlessly:
"Haha, Dilis, do you want to see me?"
"Idiot, don't!"
These three wizards are not others, they are the friends Ivan has not seen for almost two years: Dilis, Anthony, and Alva.
Under the order of the chief wizard Princeton, all the wizards of the "Violet Eye" were mobilized and went out to sea with the cooperation of the Royal Navy to perform this task that no one understood.
Don't talk about them, no one knows the inside story even among the official wizards.
"If Ivan comes back, he should be qualified to know in his position, right?"
whispering, Anthony looked at the beautiful pocket watch in his hand.
What the top executives want to do, as the deadline for the task arrives, the answer should be revealed soon.
at the same time.
The Kingdom’s strongest battleship "Steam Fortress" has slowly approached the center of this oval sea area, and is only a few kilometers away from the predetermined location determined by the alchemy wizards.
hu——
The sea breeze blows.
Dressed in a solemn dark blue gown that can only be worn at major celebrations, Queen Isabella stood quietly at the bow of the ship, beside her was Crown Prince Livina in a navy uniform.
is followed by members of the House of Lords represented by the great aristocracy, important ministers of the kingdom, chief and second-ranking think tanks, and envoys and a priest from all countries within the alliance.
"Ambassador Steele, do you Tyro have no inside information? What is Falettis doing? Even the legendary battleship is dispatched. Is this another new weapon to be tested?"
"What new weapon will require Her Majesty to test by herself?"
"What is that going to do?"
"Hey, don’t you know after a while."
The insiders of the kingdom were still calm, and the envoys of the various countries in the alliance had begun to whisper, whispering about the purpose of Falitis to gather the people.
Except for a few parties, the queen and the crown prince, only a handful of high-level officials who are absolutely loyal to the country know what they are going to do now.
Benedit, the bishop of the Falitis district, who was invited by the Tulip countries and represented the "Iron Cross Church", didn't know what ceremony he was going to attend.
Princeton, standing behind Isabella, took out his pocket watch and took a look, then bowed slightly to remind the queen:
"My dear Majesty, the time has come."
After the battle of guarding the "King of the Sea Monsters" was over, the three people who dared not delay for a moment took the "Steam Fortress" together, and the "Blue Hole" determined by the church was directly transmitted to the sea near Falitis.
saves a lot of time on the road, and at the same time circumvents the "Brotherhood" possible final means-grab the island and destroy it!
In the depths of the Black Sea, there is a large trench that can submerge even the highest mountain on the land. Throw the island in there to ensure that even a wave will not rise.
This is not a guess. After thinking about it, this is a compromise plan that the Brotherhood will most likely adopt after the failure to kill Kraken.
However, because there is no "blue hole" that cannot be intercepted, this worst situation cannot be turned into reality after all.
After returning to the kingdom, the three of them met Queen Isabella, and then Falettis' departments at all levels started operations with unprecedented efficiency.
As long as the island does not fall into the sea for one day, it may be taken away, and Her Majesty will have to sleep and eat for a day.
And today is the day when all the preparatory work has been completed and the island can truly take root!
Hearing that it was finally the scheduled time, Isabella instantly refreshed and looked towards the sky:
"Where is General Galliot?"
"Your Majesty, they have come."
's voice just fell.
唳——
A blue electric light shot down from the sky, a huge thunderbird flew around the "Steam Fortress" amid the exclaims of the envoys, and a brave black-haired female officer was riding on the bird’s back Salute the queen far away.
Her Majesty the Queen, who had restored her grace, smiled and waved in greeting.
嗖!
Ivan, a flapping wing, has come to the sky above the predetermined location. While hovering here, Olivia has thrown down the pocket island "Ugol" that looks like a light group.
just a few minutes later.
Gulu... Gulu...
In the gradually surging spray, a small island shrouded in dim light came out of the water. Then, like a sponge that absorbs water, it expands rapidly, getting taller and bigger.
has grown into an oval-shaped island in the blink of an eye. The surface layer of aura protects the island’s surface from being submerged in sea water, avoiding the tragedy of becoming saline-alkali land before it is put into use.
Then it seems to expand from another dimension, gradually zooming in and out.
This kind of slowly unfolding method allows the sea to recede naturally, and there is no tsunami-like terrible natural disaster caused by the huge amount of material backlogging in the sea.
"Hahaha, it's done!"
"God Bless Falettis!"
"Long live Her Majesty!"
, on the "Steam Fortress" that has begun to slowly retreat, except for those stunned unawares, all the high-level officials of the kingdom who understand the situation laughed loudly.
after the shortest route between Hilius and the New World was blocked by Hipponoah’s "Eye of the Storm."
The location where the island landed will directly face the only way to communicate with the old and new continents-the warm west wind current, which is often referred to as the "Trident Ocean Current" by navigators.
starts from the "Golden Sea" in the middle of the New World, which traverses the entire Black Sea from southwest to northeast, and when it reaches the Old World, it divides into three at a little bit westward:
One is the Canary Ocean current that rubs the Kingdom of Ilya to the Treasure Sea to the south, the other is the Irminge Current that continues northward into the northern islands, and the smallest Tesca current turns back to the northern part of the New World.
This is an important sea channel connecting the New World and the Old World, and it is also the way back in the triangle trade. Of course, it is limited to the passage of powerful large-scale fleets.
For a single ship or a fleet of too small, this is a forbidden place that cannot be set foot on.
This "Ugor Island" took root, pushing Falettis' sphere of influence at least 350 kilometers toward the open sea, and completely occupied the place where the Trident diverted.
Whether it is for Atlan, a powerful country in the northern archipelago, or the Hilius Empire, which needs to turn to the south, this is almost a place that a large-scale merchant fleet cannot go around.
is equivalent to artificially creating a cornucopia of infinite opportunities.
Because of this location factor, even a stone island with nothing can make a lot of money, let alone a treasure island with rich mineral deposits and fertile soil.
After taking root, they are confident that this place will become the Tulip Alliance and even the center of trade in the entire Old Continent.
The future pioneered by the ocean will also belong to Falettis!
This is also the original intention of this group of high-level people in choosing a site for the island.
When the legendary battleship was boiled, Ivan and Olivia in the sky occupied the special seats with the best view.
Looking at the large island that seemed to gradually unfold from another dimension, Olivia hugged Irving’s neck and asked softly:
"Aven, have the domain affairs been settled?"
"Hey, I heard that I am going to carry out a territory replacement. Of course, Her Majesty is very happy, and the various documents for the title promotion have been completed in the first time.
As long as we return to the New World, and then go to the Governor's Mansion of Georgia for the final confirmation. "
Aiwen knows very well that based on the significance of this island to the kingdom, if I dare to choose a territory here, I don’t know how many conspiracies and intrigues I will experience in the future.
's mind is darker. Perhaps no one among the senior leaders of the kingdom wants to take his ownership of the island directly. In the face of the great interests of heaven, the so-called promise and credit are not binding at all.
My own request may have made many people, even Her Majesty the Queen, greatly relieved.
So he finally chose to trade with the kingdom for land replacement.
and then acquired a large piece of land in the New World adjacent to the northern part of Far Sailing-the royal colony of Georgia, which is rich in iron ore, coal and white oaks, located between the Far Sailing and the autonomous colony Charles.
Ivan doesn't feel that he is at a disadvantage either.
If you choose where to be the foundation of a country’s development, ignoring all external factors, a vast land with a pleasant climate is certainly much stronger than an island country with limited resources.
The foundation of Falettis and even the entire alliance is in the Tulip Islands. Whether it is the royal family or the great aristocrats as vested interests, the foundation of the ruling for hundreds of thousands of years is here, and it is impossible to give up.
But for Aiwen, there is no such worry at all.
And he knows very well that it may not take decades, as a large number of steam-powered ships are launched into the sea, and the logistics support network is gradually built.
At that time, the role of ocean currents is important, but they can no longer restrain those powerful steel ships.
After explaining to the **** her back, Ivan smiled and said:
"The land of 60,000 square kilometers was exchanged for 100,000 square kilometers of Georgia, plus a viscount, we still earned it. Hessie, we will also be neighbors in the material world in the future~IndoMTL.com~Happy Right?"
Olivia certainly knows that Georgia, where the development time is not too long, is currently in the middle of the six royal colonies. It is self-evident for whom Aiwen chose this place as his territory.
held Aven’s neck hard, and the girl seriously responded as if she said "I do" in a sacred ceremony:
"Happy!"
As for the title a little bit low compared to the territory, Ivan didn't care too much. Viscount Jerome, the leader of Ilya’s business nobles, did not join Wright in controlling the political situation of that country?
He is very clear about the thoughts of the senior management.
only allowed him to obtain huge economic benefits while excluding him from the center of the kingdom. More precisely, he was a member of the upper parliament headed by the great aristocracy and adopted a hereditary system.
Whether they are traditional nobles or court nobles, the ancestors of the dozens of great figures in the kingdom are at least the beginning of earls.
After several reshuffles and dozens of hundreds of years of interest struggles, the interest pattern finally formed. No one wants to have another tiger that eats meat.
Economic rights can be given, but political rights are not.
Even the Emore family, as the Marquis, completely withdrew from the core power circle, let alone a boy who seems to be just lucky.
but.
After all, Ivan retained the ownership of a port city on Ugric Island.
In any case, the current level of development of the New World is still too low, and the value of this golden channel is still very huge. When the time comes, the power of the two families of Galliot and Emore will be fully qualified to take a share in this feast!
