Shanaiduo did bring a big surprise to Izumi, even if the performance it arranged was not successful, it was enough to make Izumi's face bloom with a smile.

During the Neptune whale show, Izumi gets a clear look at them for the first time.

These Neptune whales look very similar to the howler whale kings in the water system, they all have blue skin and white bellies, but their body shape is closer to the slender and agile body of fish, unlike the howler whale kings that look round and fat, and they have lizard-like heads, their mouths are full of sharp teeth, and the fins on their bodies are equally sharp, and they can cut through the body of their prey like knives with a single stroke, which makes them look more threatening than sharks.

But now that they have all been subdued by Shanaiduo with Poké Balls and tempted by delicious elf food, the Neptune Whales, whose IQ is obviously lower than that of the Warcraft on land, have quickly become obedient.

Island life is a treat for elves. They don't hate water, especially seawater, and even the fire wind dogs are happy to jump into the water and swim twice to reduce the heat caused by the hot weather and fur.

And after having a group of Neptune whales, they can enjoy a lot more fun at the seaside, such as riding the wind and waves with Neptune whales.

However, this is not the main use of this group of newly subdued sea beasts.

As they discussed before, such a group of sea giants is a good choice for forming a water guard.

"Now that Battlelance's Demonic Beasts already have the Air Force and Army, plus this group of future Naval Demonic Beasts, we will really dominate the three realms of the sea, land and air." Izumi said this as he chatted with Electrolux, and although it was a joke, he was telling the truth.

The continent is surrounded by the sea, and many countries have their own sea areas, but the navies of various countries will only operate in the shallow sea area and rarely enter the deep sea area, which also causes countries to never use sea transportation routes when they come and go, and everyone is trapped on the continent.

No one knows if there are other continents and humans beyond the sea, and in the eyes of humans on this continent, the sea is too wide and too dangerous, and no one dares to go out to sea by boat because of a little curiosity to find a continent that may not exist, and no one who will do so has been able to return to land safely.

Of course, Izumi wanted to form a sea guard not to conquer the sea, but to protect his own sea.

But this is not a simple matter, first of all, Batlanth has a clear rule to limit the number of knights and guards that local lords and nobles at all levels can have, such as the duke's title has a private armed force of no more than a thousand people - the soldiers who guard the town are another system is not counted in this - and although Electrolux has never recruited knights and guards, the Clay family does, and after Electrolux takes over Clay, the knights and guards who serve their family naturally belong to him.

In other words, Electrolux's recruitment quota has long been full, and he can't form a sea guard in this way.

It would be okay if Quan got his own title in the future, but now His Royal Highness the Prince can only be regarded as an honorific title, not a real title, and this is not his territory, so it is impossible for him to come forward.

Second, Clay's map of Butland was seen as a kelp-like strip along the sea—it wasn't like that before, but the interior was gradually annexed by other lords, leaving only the coastal area that no one wanted to spare.

As a result of this topography, the coastline of Clay is very long, and the coast that Izumi saw before is only a small concave area, which is roughly the difference between sesame seeds and watermelons compared to the entire coastline of Clay.

This sea area is nominally in charge of both the Eastern Army and the Southern Army, but in fact, because the Southern Army is located on the border and connected to several countries, they are mainly responsible for the tranquility of the border like the Western Army. On the Eastern Legion's side, because the garrison is close to the Magical Forest, a large part of them actually work with Balthazar's Northern Legion to protect the beast tide, and they couldn't fortify the sea area at all before.

After all, compared to the sea beasts that only come ashore occasionally and will not be attacked as long as they don't go into the water most of the time, the monsters that rampant on land and the neighboring countries with bad intentions are more dangerous in their eyes.

Therefore, in fact, the sea area on Clay's side has been unattended for a long time, that is, the pressure brought by the border and the magic forest has decreased in recent years, and the legions on the southeast side can divide some people.

It's just a drop in the bucket, although the strength of these two legions is good, but that is in the face of people and Warcraft, naval warfare is not their strong point, many Warcraft often appear seasick and other phenomena at sea, and some of the Warcraft of the water system can play a role, but most of them are not of high level, and the number is relatively small, when encountering sea beasts that appear in groups on the sea, let alone fighting, they may not even be able to protect themselves.

"How did you defend against sea beasts before?"

In order to facilitate the travel between the two places, he specially asked the royal alchemists to order a small teleportation array, which can be used for ten people to teleport at a time, one is set in the original city lord's mansion in Clay City, and the other is set in the isolated island castle, so that if the subordinate officials and nobles have anything to report, they can directly arrive at the island castle through the teleportation array to find him without taking a boat, and it is convenient for them to leave Clay City from here.

The officials who came to this isolated island castle for the first time had to worry about whether a hideous sea beast would suddenly jump out of nowhere and eat them at every step, and they would never have gone to the island if it were not for the good impression of the owner of this castle and the little prince who was a guest here.

However, after seeing the water show of the Neptune Whale specially arranged by Electrolux by the abbot of Shanaido, most of them disappeared, and even became excited, because they thought that since the new lord could tame a group of Neptune whales, he must also be able to tame other sea beasts, and as long as these sea beasts no longer do evil, then Clay felt that it would become more and more prosperous and prosperous.

And the subsequent meeting of the abbots of His Royal Highness the Little Prince and the Duke made them affirm this.

Electrolux's previous big move in Clay directly pulled out a large number of moth-like nobles and officials, those officials who did not seek political power in their positions were dismounted, and those who were promoted by Electrolux were all conscientious doers who had a little problem but generally belonged to the conscientious doers, these people may not have very outstanding abilities, but they know very well what is within their scope of responsibility.

As soon as Izumi asked a question, the city guard official in charge of defense immediately explained, "In the past, it was the lords and acting lords who went to the mercenary union to hire mercenaries to help us defend against sea beasts. ”

In the absence of combatants, it is very common for lords to hire mercenaries, after all, the price of mercenaries is not as much as raising an army, and in the eyes of most lords, it is very cost-effective.

Izumi nodded in understanding, "What Electrolux and I mean is that we want to form a sea guard, do you think the approximate number of members is appropriate after all?" ”

"But Your Highness, our city guards are already full, and we can't expand it without Your Majesty's permission."

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll report to His Majesty and ask him to issue permission, but now I'm just going to discuss with you the approximate number of members to determine how many sea beasts we need to capture."

Izumi was confident that he would be able to convince Raymond, not only because of Raymond's love for him, but also because it would be a good thing for all of Butland.

What's more, he is not ready to lead this sea guard force by himself, but plans to ask his father to send some generals who are familiar with maritime military affairs to help form it, and Raymond can only be happy.

Everyone was very confident in His Royal Highness the Little Prince's words, and they believed him when they heard him say that they would get permission, and they were even more convinced when they heard him say that they had to determine the number of sea beasts in order to prepare for the capture of sea beasts.

Don't look at this little royal highness as an adult, but the fame of Battlelands is not small, since he regained his identity, the changes that have occurred in Battlelands are obvious to all, and everyone knows that it is because of the magical items that the royal family suddenly took out that they have never seen before, many of these things are related to His Royal Highness the little prince, but the royal family clearly doesn't want everyone to talk about him, so everyone tacitly keeps quiet, as if they don't know the inside story.

But in fact, when they started to discuss the details, they realized that things were not so simple.

"The coastline of Clay is 2,981 kilometers long, and if you want to form a convoy that is enough to protect the entire coastline, you will probably have no fewer people than a legion."

"And even if we had enough soldiers and sea beasts, we wouldn't have ships to go to sea."

Yes, although Kley is a coastal city, in the whole of Klei, the only boats that can be launched are fishing boats and various small boats used by civilians for fishing, not even a large passenger boat.

Because no one dares to go by land or sea.

"Okay." Quan who knew that there were more problems than they thought, sighed, and resigned himself to picking up the pen and paper, "Tell all the problems, and let's discuss them slowly." ”
