Chapter 272 Ice on the sea road! Capture Haiyue City! (page 12)
"Why the detour?"
This is a question for Nan Shuishui.
"Because we can't defeat the Sun and Moon Empire."
This is also Xue Bei's answer.
"..."
This army, composed of Tianhun Empire patriots from all over the Douluo Continent (excluding the Sun and Moon Empire), is heading to the south of the continent at this time.
After they successfully assembled, they launched several tentative attacks on the Sun and Moon Empire's mainland, but the effect was insignificant.
Even if the Sun-Moon Empire were beheaded by the Mad Bull Douluo Continent King Yiheng, it would still be the Sun-Moon Empire, not the stragglers led by Xue Bei who could defeat them.
So Xue Bei simply moved his army along the border to the south of the Star Luo Empire.
The Mingdou defense line was completely under the jurisdiction of Duke Baihu and Xu Jiujiu.
After Xue Bei finished answering Nan Shuishui's question, he looked at He Caitou, a patriotic warrior from Shrek Academy.
"He Caitou, there shouldn't be many troops in the coastal cities in the south of the Sun and Moon Empire, right?"
"Teacher Xue, how do I know?" He Caitou showed an honest smile.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
"Ha ha……"
He Caitou rubbed his head in embarrassment. He always had a hunch that his true identity had been discovered by Teacher Xue.
But how did you find out?
Apart from helping Xue Bei and Fan Yu when they were drinking and bragging about building mechas, when had I ever had contact with Xue Bei?
Teacher Fan Yu, who he got along with day and night, and Teacher Fan Yu who picked him up didn't know his identity. How did Xue Bei know?
It must be an illusion!
Xue Bei ignored He Caitou's brainstorming. During the imperial civil war, He Caitou was still young. What could a little kid know about the military deployment of the Sun and Moon Empire?
Even the prince doesn't know.
What's more, how many years have passed, Xue Bei asked this, which gave him a sense of confidence.
After all, it was the first time for Xue Bei to do something like this.
Instead of entering the Sun and Moon Empire from the Mingdou Mountains, they occupied the Sun and Moon Empire directly from the sea.
who do you think You Are?
Columbus?
"what!"
Nan Qiuqiu in the team suddenly screamed as if he had seen something incredible.
Everyone subconsciously looked forward, and everyone was shocked in unison.
It was a golden world, with countless bright golden lights shining at the end of the horizon.
"That's the ocean."
Huo Yuhao, who was mixed in the team, also looked into the distance. Even though he was from the Star Luo Empire, he had never seen the sea in the south of the Star Luo Empire.
"The sunset on the sea is so beautiful..."
On the shore of the South China Sea of the Star Luo Empire, Xue Bei did not go to the Southern Navy of the Star Luo Empire, but requisitioned many ships from fishermen.
Of course,
The premise is that everyone has paid enough gold soul coins.
"Everyone's strength is above level 40. As a soul sect, we have a certain ability to protect ourselves at sea."
Xue Bei didn't know when he raised a skull and crossbones flag on the ship, "I won't say much. After a little repair, we will directly enter the waters of the Sun and Moon Empire."
Xue Bei knew that he was not Columbus, and the Sun and Moon Empire was definitely not the natives of the Americas.
Crossing the sea is also a helpless move.
"set off!"
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, under the cover of the sea, Xue Bei and the others arrived at the waters of the Sun and Moon Empire. The coastline of the Sun and Moon Empire in the distance was somewhat blurry.
Taking the sea route is indeed safer and faster than taking the land route.
Just can't go deep into the sea,
Because of the huge number of sea soul beasts, the strong ones among them can rival or even surpass the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Forest.
Xue Bei didn't want to feed the sea monster.
"The Sun and Moon Empire is indeed a land-based empire, with almost no power at sea."
Neither the Star Luo Empire nor the Sun Moon Empire are very good at naval warfare. Although the Sun Moon Empire has a navy in the south, the number is not large at all.
Xue Bei's ability to safely drive close to the coastline of the Sun and Moon Empire is enough to prove this point.
"Lu Quan Empire?"
He Caitou's ears twitched.
Compared to sect forces like Nan Shuishui, He Caitou, as the former crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, was very sensitive to this aspect.
He Caitou is no longer the kid who escaped from Mingdu in embarrassment. He is now in his twenties.
In your twenties, you are also an adult, and you have basically figured out what you should do in the future.
He Caitou had previously planned to train hard at Shrek Academy, study soul guidance devices, become a titled Douluo and then blow up Xu Tianran's family.
But as he grew up, He Caitou also realized that if he wanted to take revenge on the current royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire, he alone could not do it with a titled Douluo.
Originally, hatred might have to be hidden for many years, but now that the mainland war has started again, He Caitou sees an opportunity for revenge.
during the war,
The chance of killing Xu Tianran's family is greatly increased.
So it was just like this that He Caitou, a soul master who was not from the Heavenly Soul Empire at all, came to this group of patriots from the Heavenly Soul Empire.
It was not enough for He Caitou to take revenge by killing Xu Tianran's family. He also wanted to legitimately claim his title as the former crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Revenge, just pay attention to a justifiable word.
However, He Caitou would never have any thoughts of invading Douluo Continent. If he could become the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, he would definitely maintain peace.
but……
He Caitou looked at Xue Bei, feeling that Teacher Xue not only knew his identity, but also his ambitions.
"What is the Lu Quan Empire?" Xue Bei was very pleased that He Caitou could ask this question.
When Xue Bei saw He Caitou before, he thought that the two-meter-tall strongman was just intoxicated with the soul guide. Now he was able to raise questions from the perspective of governing the country, proving that he had ambitions for the throne of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Why is there no ambition?
This Xu He was not an ignorant child at the time. Of course he wanted to take back the things that originally belonged to him after revenge.
“There is nothing to say about land power, because all empires now are land power countries.
Less professionally speaking, to define whether a country is a sea power or a land power, you don’t need to look at its national political system, nor simply look at the ratio of the country’s army to its navy. You only need to observe the country’s main economic flow pattern. , whether to rely on land or sea.
Looking at it now, no matter which country it is, almost no focus is on the ocean. "
He Caitou thought carefully, and Xue Bei added: "In the world of Douluo Continent, the existence of sea soul beasts has greatly restricted the development of the marine economy. Therefore, whoever can develop sea power will get the first move in the future. .”
"Why?" He Caitou asked, he hadn't thought clearly about the previous question.
“Before the collision between Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent, the three countries of Douluo Continent didn’t even know that Sun Moon Continent existed.
