Chapter 853 – Sentry Base

4th month, 29th day, a certain piece of news stunned the entire Mediterranean.

The queen of Atlantis City Kalia made an open statement that from today onwards that Atlantis had officially left the Mediterranean Alliance. Moreover, Atlantis was willing to work with the Mediterranean countries to expand on the lost technologies of Atlantis civilization and bring prosperity to the entire Mediterranean.

The moment the news went out, the Lords of the Mediterranean cheered out. The Greek Lord even hurried to meet Kalia the crown of queen of the Mediterranean to show respect.

The crisis that Atlantis seemed to be in had been solved almost instantly.

Along with both Atlantis and Vic City both leaving the alliance, the alliance had lost two of its sides and Jidian City alone was unable to sustain its survival.

With Ouyang Shuo’s instructions, Jidian City Mayor followed to announce that the Mediterranean Alliance had regretfully disbanded. With that, the super alliance that had been formed not a year ago came to rest.

The sudden disbandment of the Mediterranean Alliance made the Mediterranean really chaotic.

Whilst the alliance existed, it was the absolute head of the ocean, and it was the one to maintain law and order. Now that it disbanded, who should control the Mediterranean?

Should it be Vic City, the Spanish Invincible Squadron, or the Roman Squadron?

If the three of them went head to head, there would be a great scene to watch.

The only party that people forgot about was the Great Xia Mediterranean Squadron. The departure of Vic City and Atlantis meant that Jidian City was all alone in the Mediterranean.

“No matter how strong the Great Xia Dynasty is, the Mediterranean is still under us.” The Lords of the Mediterranean said.

Of course, with the high profits from the voyage trading, the Mediterranean countries would not do anything to the Great Xia Dynasty. After all, everyone wanted to earn money.

Even if someone wanted to act, they would have to wait till the new ruler of the Mediterranean was born.

France, Vic City.

Henry was alone in his reading room, his brows locked tight. Henry could not understand the sudden drop out of Atlantis City. With his understanding of Kalia and Ouyang Shuo, the two should not have hurried to break up.

“What kind of plot is the Great Xia Dynasty planning?” Thinking about how Ouyang Shuo saw through everything clearly, Henry could not help but feel a shiver run down his spine.

Half a year ago, Vic City had taken the opportunity of the fall of the Spanish Invincible Squadron, using the quick ships of the alliance to break through the lock of the Spanish and soar unhindered through the Mediterranean.

After the alliance disbanded, what should the Gual Squadron do?

Henry suddenly felt his head hurt, he had no idea whether he family’s strategy was right this time or not. Henry had a feeling that the Great Xia Dynasty was even more terrifying.

Spain, Tortosa City.

In contrast to Henry’s depression, Casillas was delighted, “Silver Hand has fulfilled their promise; it’s our turn to act!”

Sitting opposite Casillas was the Lord of Madrid City, Juan.

The two strongest Spanish Lords looked at one another, seeing the flames in each other’s eyes. The Spanish Invincible Squadron had stayed hidden for half a year, bearing all the humiliation. It was time for them to appear once more.

“Should we take down Jidian City first?” Juan asked.

Casillas did not let his excitement get to his head, shaking his head, “Jidian City has been fortified so well by them, so it is not easy to take down. The key is to take over the rule over the Mediterranean. As long as we control the ocean rights, wouldn’t Jidian City be there for the taking?”

Juan nodded, “You’re right!”

“We must let the Gual Squadron know that it is not easy to rule the oceans.” Casillas’s hatred of Henry was no lower than his hatred for Ouyang Shuo.

The two squadrons were destined to be enemies and a battle was unavoidable.

Italy, Caesar City.

Within the magnificent palace hall, Caesar was being served by a beautiful maid servant as he listened to the report from his minister. On his handsome face, a cold glow shone.

“So we lost the chance to attack Atlantis?” Caesar drank all the red wine in the cup, his voice turning really cold.

“That seems to be the case. The Lords who agreed to attack with us have all expressed their desire to stay silent and wait for changes.”

“A bunch of rats.” Caesar regretfully shook his head, “Kalia, that b*tch, tossed out a bone and they all ran over to lick it like a pack of dogs….”

“….”

The minister did not know how to reply.

“Tell Anthony that the Mediterranean is the territory of our Roman Squadron. Do not let the Spanish and French come over and snatch our things.” Caesar ordered.

“Yes!”

Jidian City.

Whilst the Mediterranean was in chaos, the Great Xia Dynasty started to work.

As Morocco’s main cities were located on the coasts and far away from Jidian City, even with the strong transport ability of the Mediterranean Squadron, they would not be able to send all four legions over at once.

Needless to say there were huge amounts of war resources that needed to be shipped.

Furthermore, if the Mediterranean Squadron kept moving out, it was easy to raise suspicion.

Because of that, they would build sentry bases on the islands surrounding Morocco to store resources and house troops.

Due to the game expanding 10 times, small rocks on the seas could expand into huge desolate islands. As the Mediterranean Squadron had been clearing out pirates in the Atlantis for the half year, they were really familiar with the region.

Under Alvaro’s planning, they chose two storage bases and three military bases.

In the half year since they opened up the trade route, thousands of Great Xia merchant ships had crossed it. Ouyang Shuo did not mind spending money, ordering them to buy large amounts of grain and sneakily ship to those bases. The Combat Logistics Department would prepare the weapons and equipment and directly teleport it over.

Just this expenditure alone cost him 200 thousand.

Since the resources took time to be transported, the four legions did not act and remained in their own defensive regions. Only thing was that Huo Qubing and Baiqi, these two marshals, had sneakily teleported to Jidian City.

As they say, ‘If you know yourself and the situation, you will not lose any battle.’

Even God Generals like Baiqi and Huo Qubing, if they were not familiar with their opponents and their own troops, they would lose.

Not to mention that this was a cross ocean battle, and the army might not be able to adapt to the new land.

The two God Generals stayed in Jidian City for three days. After gaining a basic understanding of the Mediterranean and Morocco, they initiated to Ouyang Shuo to go towards Morocco to scout.

Baiqi said, “My king, this attack on Morocco is a lightning quick battle. We need to observe the geography and plan. If not, there’s a chance that a misjudgment of the land could cause changes in the battle.”

Since Baiqi said that, Ouyang Shuo obviously agreed. He could only order the Black Snake Guards to ensure the safety of Baiqi and Huo Qubing.

When Black Snake heard this command, his face was covered in black lines, and he went over to plan it.

5th month, 5th day, Baiqi and Huo Qubing sat on different merchant ships and came over to Morocco. Following which, they were going to start a week of practical investigation.

And during this period of time, all the resources and weapons were getting prepared.

The Great Xia Dynasty was sharpening its blade on Morocco but the outside world had not noticed it.

Not to mention Morocco themselves; they totally did not know that a crisis had arrived. The Moroccan Lords had benefitted greatly from the opening up of the voyage route.

Morocco had three treasures, Argan, dates, and cactuses.

The Argan trees were unique to Morocco, and they were able to survive in high heat and humidity. They thrived in the southern parts of Morocco. Their lifespan was above 150 years, and the oil that was squeezed out of the fruit was really valuable.

The native Moroccans, the Berbers, made use of the oil to make makeup. The oil could be used to massage the face, finger nails, hair, and body.

In the game, Gaia strengthened this and made it into a technology.

One must know that such a magical makeup attracted everyone. As such, all the merchants around the world loved it.

Apart from Argan oil, they also had another product that was popular – phosphate.

In real life, phosphate was one of their important pillars, and they had a supply of 110 billion tonnes, which was 75% of the world’s supply.

Phosphate was an important food additive and was used in food production. Although the game did not have such advanced industrial techniques, people still needed phosphate.

Apart from that, due to it being close to the Atlantic, its fishing industry was strong, and the sardine fish it exported was first in the world; they were the biggest fish exporter in Africa.

Their canned sardines were not only a delicacy but also had a lot of nutrition and were easy to store.

Ironically, among the supplies that the Great Xia Dynasty merchant ships had purchased for the army, included sardine cans were included. If the Moroccans knew, they would definitely vomit blood.

It was by relying on such products that the Moroccans could rise up during the voyage trading.

On a usual day, many eastern merchant ships swarmed into the port. To see such merchant ships was not a rare thing, and the players had already gotten used to it.

Hence, the arrival of Baiqi and Huo Qubing did not cause any waves.
