When Gan Guyu walked out of Fenglei Xuan, a waiter stepped forward to stop him and whispered a few words beside him. Gangu Yu nodded slightly when he heard this, and followed him all the way to the Kyaukyang Palace.

The Kyaukyang Hall is the place where Ethan IV handles daily government affairs and meets with his vassals. When Gangu Rain was invited into the palace, Ethan IV was sitting on the throne, holding his temple in one hand and a scroll in the other.

"Your Majesty. Gangu Yu bowed slightly.

"Thank you very much for Prince Nasan's business. Ethan IV put down the scroll and sat up straight.

Gangu Yu smiled humbly: "Your Majesty is polite, and this is all right. ”

"Hmm. Ethan IV nodded, "Now it seems that the royal family has taken advantage of the natural forest. The widow doesn't ask you to be single-minded, but I hope you don't bear her. ”

Gangu Yu nodded solemnly: "In the name of Mother Nature, Gangu Yu will never live up to Yin Yimo." ”

Ethan IV nodded and got up: "Then let's get down to business." The matter has already been told to you in the letter, and the descendants of the group of people who fled the salty continent have returned. ”

"How many people are there, what are their identities, and what is their strength?" Gan Guyu immediately asked, "And how much information do we know about where they currently live?"

"They appeared to have been shipwrecked on the beach on the southeast coast of the continent, and were rescued by the Eighth Legion of the Empire, which was stationed not far from there. There were seven of them, two of whom were of higher status in terms of clothing, and the rest were ordinary crew members. We found this nautical chart on one of them. Ethan IV handed Gangu Rain a beautifully crafted drawing.

Gangu Yu took a look at it, and immediately understood why Ethan IV was so sure of the other party's origins.

On the left side of the nautical chart is a continental coastline, which may be inaccurate due to the changing times, but it is not difficult to see from the general outline and some specific markers. The picture depicts the eastern coastal area of the salty continent.

On the right side of the chart, another oval continent is depicted. If the proportions of the nautical charts are correct, this continent is about one-tenth the size of the salty continent, and it is about 40,000 miles from the easternmost point of the salty continent, which is about the same distance as crossing the Pacific Ocean.

At the same time, some annotated text on the nautical chart. Although there have been some evolutionary changes, the shadow of the continental language can still be seen. In this way, the origin of this nautical chart is about to be revealed.

"The news was temporarily blocked by us, and it didn't alarm the Yanhua family, and the Chongbang family didn't know about it. ”

Ethan IV continued: "The seven men are currently under house arrest in the camp of the Eighth Legion, and the two leaders of them have asked to meet the widow. The widow sent a few powerful psychic mages over in hopes of obtaining some useful information. And just the day before yesterday, the news had already reached Guangyao City. ”

Gan Guyu hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?"

"See for yourself. "Ethan IV handed a secret letter to Gangu Rain. Gan Guyu then unfolded the secret letter and read it carefully.

"It's really inferior...... "Gangu Yu sneered, "such a small piece of land." Hundreds of countries are divided into hundreds of countries to attack each other and fight endlessly, this is to follow the old path of 8,000 years ago?"

"Such a small continent can feed so many people, and can withstand such a spoil, and its richness can be imagined. ”

Ethan IV snorted lightly: "But now they are also aware of the coming crisis again, so they sent a fleet to find the salty continent, or other undiscovered continents, and want to escape again." ”

"A bunch of greedy and warlike locusts. Gangu Yu smacked his tongue, "Eight thousand years have not been able to ease the strength of the salty continent. If they are really allowed to come back, won't the salty desolate continent that has only seen hope fall into the flames of war again? Then Your Majesty, ...... you?"

"The widow also thought about killing people. But it is clear that this is not a long-term solution. ”

Ethan IV shook his head: "These people who have crossed the ocean must have left a mark of their lives on the other side of the ocean, if the whole army is wiped out or there is no news for a long time, then they may send another fleet to sea again." This time it was our luck that they met the Imperial army as soon as they landed. The God of Light doesn't take care of us every time. ”

"But judging from the strength on the surface, we can't stop their return. The top strength on the surface of the salty continent. There are only you, the Dean, and the High Priest, the three Eighth-Order, plus the four major magician families and some hermit families, are there any ten eighth-order magicians and above?"

Gangu Yu spread his hands: "But on the other side, there are only seven well-known tenth-order law gods, and there is another profession called knight that uses fighting spirit. This has already formed a strength to crush it, right?"

"So we can't fight, at least not head-on. Ethan IV said. "But at the same time, we must not show our timidity, try to delay the time, and at the same time show amazing strength, so that these sailors who have made the front stop fear our strength. ”

Hearing this, Gangu Yu smiled bitterly: "This kind of thing of bluffing seems to be incompatible with the natural forest, right? Your Majesty, you didn't find anyone to find me, are you too superstitious about the natural forest?"

"No, it's best to leave this matter to the Forest of Nature. Ethan IV looked deeply at Gangu Yu, "Because, the warmongers on the other side of the ocean know nothing about the natural forest. ”

Gangu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ethan IV meant.

The Natural Forest was a race that only appeared after the Guangyan Continent was renamed the Salty Continent, and before that, few people even knew that there was natural magic in this world. Therefore, if you want to bluff and let the natural forest, which is now powerful on the salty continent, come forward, of course, it is the best.

"I get it, as things stand, we can take three steps. Gangu Yu concluded.

Ethan IV raised his eyebrows: "Let's talk about it." ”

"The first step is to enshrine those two leaders as envoys from distant continents and summon them to Guangyao City, so that they can appreciate the style of the imperial capital of my Guangyao Empire. Gangu Yu chuckled.

Ethan IV said curiously: "Except for the fact that the city is larger, there is nothing commendable about it, right?"

"Conditions can be created. Gangu Yu said, "The second step is to let them see the powerful military strength of the salty continent and be in awe. It would be perfect if they could throw themselves into the arms of Mother Nature. ”

"Hmm...... Harnessing the power of faith is one way to do it. Ethan IV's eyes lit up and he nodded.

Gangu continued, "If the first two steps go well, then we can move on to the third step. Be very generous in helping them build ships, and then send these lost lambs back to their continent!"

"What? "Why is that?" said Ethan IV, "shouldn't we delay them as long as possible to get the news back?"

Gangu Yu looked at Ethan IV meaningfully and whispered a word. Ethan IV was silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally a glimmer of essence passed under his eyes. (To be continued.) )
