  Chapter 348 Shark Railgun (13)

   "What are they planning to do?"

   Mumbled, Ian didn't think that the 19th Legion came to the maze for a walk.

   It would be better to say that the 19th Legion did not intend to make a fortune in the maze, that is really incredible.

  The labyrinth is on the continent of Terra, representing danger, opportunity, monsters, wealth, ancient heritage, precious materials and "sustainable output".

  Owning a maze is equivalent to owning a huge treasure house that is almost inexhaustible.

   Among other things, as long as you can use the ecology in the maze to breed specific rare monsters, in this world that needs monsters as various sublimation materials, it is equivalent to renewable gold.

   Even more precious.

  As long as one is strong enough to develop the maze instead of being bombarded by the maze, then wealth is indeed at your fingertips.

  The level of the Great Labyrinth, in addition to representing a huge amount of wealth and resources, can basically be equated with 'big family' and 'big power'.

  If a family or a force can control the entire Great Labyrinth, then their surnames and titles will be known throughout the continent.

  Their sublimators will emerge in endlessly, high-level combat power will not be cut off, and there will be enough wealth and resources to allow all members of the family to read and write, learn knowledge and technology, and master the highest productivity.

  Ian is very clear that Viscount Grant has such an idea, so he has been planning to hide things about the South China Sea labyrinth and the ruins group, and wants to develop it alone.

   But obviously, this idea is no longer realistic today.

  Aside from other things, the South China Sea Fleet, which was supposed to fight against the fleets of other countries, now wants a piece of the pie.

  Theoretically speaking, it is the duty of the South China Sea Fleet to expel other countries' fleets, but if everything is done according to reason and rules, there will be not so many things in this world.

  Now the maze has not been fully opened, and the Viscount is unlikely to allow them to enter. In this case, it is normal for the South China Sea Fleet to come to the maze to try to make a fortune.

  Maybe Viscount Grant acquiesced—there must be some political struggles behind it that he doesn't know about, and extremely complicated tactics.

   But here comes the problem.

   Whatever the fight, Ian didn't intend for them to succeed.

   "You want to explore the maze, don't you?"

   Slightly narrowing his eyes, Ian stared at the dome of the crystallization cave, he muttered to himself: "It's time to let everyone know the danger of the maze, and then explore here carefully."

   "What I need is for adventurers to remove the traps in the maze step by step and eliminate dangerous monsters. I didn't let you people develop it violently."

  Ian raised his voice: "Shark, let's go!"

   "Ooh! (Go Go!

at the same time.

  South Sea Fleet.

   "Sir, according to Master Goser, there are still quite a few dangerous monsters in the maze. If we approach rashly like this, it is very likely to trigger a monster attack..."

  South China Sea Fleet Officer Baron Girwin was listening to his subordinate's report, and when he heard this, he patted his hand lightly to signal the other party to stop.

  The experienced old navy aristocrat raised his head impatiently, then stared at his deputy and said, "So we won't go?"

   "Of course not..." the adjutant stuck for a while.

   "Since it is not, then you should be prepared to deal with the attack of the monster, instead of telling me here, 'there is danger ahead.'"

  The adjutant had no choice but to say, "Sir, if there is an attack by a sea monster of the second energy level, if the fleet does not launch a defensive posture and release the naval battle armor to block it, then we will most likely not be able to stop it."

   Baron Girwin laughed: "With so much fanfare, do you want to be discovered by Little Grant? This is the tacit agreement of the nobles. Let's come to the maze to find some fortune. He has the first batch of maze explorers to give back information."

   "But this is not allowed by the empire. We are now patrolling the sea area, 'accidentally entering the maze', 'accidentally encountering a monster attack', 'forced to defend itself' - and Little Grant has no knowledge of this, understand?"

  The adjutant choked, of course he understood—how many times have they taken advantage of this loophole?

   But the problem is, in the past, they took advantage of small mazes and small places. Where is the South China Sea Great Maze so dangerous?

According to Master Goser, there are crystallized dragons, insect nests, and other possible "second-level monsters" in this maze... Although there is no third-level monster for the time being, with the power of the Great Labyrinth, it is estimated that It will be bred in a few years.

  The South China Sea Fleet is only famous. To put it bluntly, it is part of the Nineteenth Army Corps. Its scale is far from being comparable to the Tranquil Sea Fleet of the Empire.

   Baron Gwen is the only one who is strong at the second energy level.

   When encountering a second-level monster, the fleet will definitely suffer losses. At that time, it is impossible for the baron to be the one who is unlucky, and it may only be the little soldiers who are responsible for the blame.

   "I'm not the only one behind this."

But Baron Girwin is obviously not really brainless. He has other tasks. After knocking on his adjutant, he threw out some news to reassure him: "The order just issued by the Marquis last night, we have to evaluate the situation in the South China Sea. The danger of the Great Labyrinth."

   "If possible, we will build a squadron station in Port Harrison."

"After all, the two giant giant eels of the second energy level on Odell Reef have temporarily disappeared, and the threat of affecting the fleet's cruising is no longer there. With the occurrence of the Canaan Moore fleet approaching the territorial waters, the construction of the squadron base is necessary."

   "Unexpectedly?!"

  The adjutant was shocked. Building a squadron station at Port Harrison? Isn't this a direct fight for power with Viscount Grant? But what the Marquis of Barton meant was essentially the meaning of the imperial capital, and it was a temptation from above. No wonder the other party couldn't find out the real purpose.

   If the other party really wants to find out, the other party will naturally dare not confront them on the surface, but what if Viscount Grant is shameless and uses etheric weapons to pretend to be a monster and sink several main battleships of their Second Fleet?

   At that time, they can only rely on Viscount Grant to defend the South China Sea, and there is no way to investigate him.

  The confrontation between the local government and the central government is like this. On the surface, it is "yes and yes", but in fact they refuse to implement it, and they even oppose it secretly.

   "In the final analysis." Baron Girwin looked at the dim night sky: "How could it be possible for the Grant family to monopolize the South China Sea Great Labyrinth? Marquis, the Legion must have a share... The more we do, the more we can share in the future."

"But sir." The adjutant is still a little depressed and puzzled: "Is it possible that the disappearance of the Tenglan giant eel is because there are more powerful second-level monsters in the maze? Leaving aside the wealth of the maze, sir, the order is not absolute. , we don't need to be so desperate..."

  For these military leaders, unless the higher-ups call them out to force them to perform a certain task, otherwise, most of them can touch it. Preserving their own strength is the most important thing.

   "Haha." Baron Girwin laughed and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

   "If there is, we should have been attacked when we were cruising a few days ago, how could it be..."

   "Report! High energy response ahead!"

   At this moment, a rather untimely and sharp siren sounded: "Traces of second-level monsters have been detected in the surrounding sea area!"

   The face slap came so fast that no one could react.

   After reacting, the face of the South China Sea Fleet officer became very exciting.

  If the adjutant had to describe the change in Baron Girwin's complexion, he would definitely say 'it looks like a squid in human form'.

   It took almost a breath, and the old nobleman's face changed several colors, and finally turned black like ink.

   Without speaking, he immediately got up and looked around the surrounding sea area.

   Immediately afterwards, he froze in place.

  Because, just off the coast not far away, a huge oval-shaped blue luminous body is galloping towards the South China Sea Fleet at an unbelievable speed with wisps of electric arc!
