With the addition of De Laere, 'Greatsword' has gradually taken on the appearance of a team, rather than being in a state where Edge is alone. And with Delare, along with the mercenaries who followed him. For this reason, the team of 'Greatsword' not only has two people, Aggie and De Laer, but also a group of mercenaries.

Edge's little abacus was not for nothing, let De Laer join alone, and also attached De Laer's mercenary team!

Although Delaire felt that he had fallen for Edge's cleverness, after becoming a member of the 'Greatsword' team, he burned more and more of his previous ambition and wanted to develop the 'Greatsword' team well.

Old Captain Jericho also admired Age's abilities more and more, and always felt that Edge's was a person who could achieve something. For this reason, on the merchant ship, he used the experience he had accumulated in the past to give Aegie many ideas, as well as suggestions for the development of the 'Greatsword' squad.

At Jericho's suggestion, coupled with the reading habit that Leah had forced out of when she was in Caanster City, Edge had recently read a lot of related books. There are descriptions of conquests, and there are economic developments. When he read the books, he realized that his knowledge was so scarce. Thinking about it now, he really thinks that it would have been quite good if he had been able to study at the Sicilian Military Academy for a while.

It's a pity that it's not possible now, and he has to be busy with the development of the 'Greatsword' squad. Of course, the so-called learning is endless, and if you have the opportunity and need to learn one day, you can still learn.

As long as you study diligently, you can always learn something. After a short period of hard study, Aiji has gained a lot of understanding of the development of the army. But at the same time, he was well aware of the situation. His 'greatsword' squad was unlike the armies out there. At least not now, so there is no need to implement these issues such as rank and honor in the ranks.

But the problem of development has been faced, and at this time he has a hesitation: the development of the 'big sword' squad is not to immediately recruit members and quickly build a huge army?

This is not a good development strategy. After analyzing the situation, Aggie believes that this is the case.

Now the Kenos Empire wants to be the lord of the Tonri, and the competition for land is very fierce. If a new force rushes out, I am afraid that it will be restricted or even suppressed in many ways, and in the end it will not develop at all. Therefore, Aegie decided that the 'Greatsword' team should develop in an area where there was not much of a threat.

Later, after asking the old captain Jericho and the travelers on the ship, Aegie knew that the current situation in the Kenos Empire was almost a state of "a hundred schools of thought". The former royal forces, rebel forces, new forces, the invading forces of the Bhikshu Empire, and the bandit forces are all vying for land.

In a nutshell, the land within the territory of the Kenos Empire has been filled with large and small forces. A nascent force wants to squeeze into it, and sooner or later it will become a baby who dies young.

For this reason, the old captain suggested that Aiji could consider not expanding inland first, and it was also possible to develop directly overseas. As for the reason, one is that the competition in the interior is too fierce, and the other is that the pirates entrenched in the waters of the Kenos Empire so far are basically opposite. The pirate groups are not united, so they are relatively easy to deal with.

Moreover, if it develops and grows in the sea, it will also have a great advantage in capturing the inland at that time. In addition, there is no need to worry about the training of team members not being able to adapt to land operations in the development of the sea area, because there are also land islands in the sea area, and it is still possible to train an army that fights on land and sea with peace of mind without being attacked.

For Jericho's suggestion, Aegie thought for a long time. Originally, his greatest wish was to go straight inland, expel the invading army of the Bhikshu Ye Empire, and then clear out the rebels and bandits one by one. But Jericho's suggestion made more sense, and for this he accepted Jericho's suggestion to develop the 'Greatsword' squad by the sea first.

Since it is by the sea, there is a lot of work to be prepared, at least ships and sailors are indispensable. It also needs a land mooring base, preferably in a coastal city or dock. However, if you consider coastal cities, such as the former Namigawa Wharf or the city of Hayman, where merchant ships are about to pass through, and capture these cities as bases, they can be easily discovered by inland forces, and then they may be suppressed.

For this reason, Aegie felt that it would be best to have an island as a base.

Speaking of islands, he remembered the small island where Uto had been entrenched before. He was not satisfied with this small island. The island was too small for long-term development, and he needed a larger area.

De Laere has been escorting mercenaries in this sea area for a long time, and presumably he understands it, so Aegie went to discuss with De Lare.

De Laere is already a member of the 'Greatsword' squad, and it is his responsibility and expectation to grow the squad. He appreciates Age's positivity. He agreed with Age's strategy of developing and growing in the sea. As for Edge's desire for an island as a base for development, he recommended Blue Sky Island.

Located in the southeast of Hayman City, Blue Sky Island is the size of two cities and is surrounded by many whirlpools that can be used for defense. Crucially, there were no other pirates there. As for the reason, it is extremely noteworthy, because in the distance to the south of Blue Sky Island, there is a Sea Dragon Island.

It is rumored that Sea Dragon Island is inhabited by sea dragons, and sea dragons will come out from time to time. Blue Sky Island is relatively close to Sea Dragon Island, and if it is discovered by the Sea Dragon, it will inevitably be attacked by the Sea Dragon. And these rumors were confirmed at one point. In the past, there were arrogant and greedy pirates who tried to occupy Blue Sky Island, only to be killed by sea dragons who came out to feed.

Gradually, Blue Sky Island became uninhabited and became an uninhabited desert island.

Knowing that there is a threat from sea dragons, De Laere also recommends Blue Sky Island because he believes that sea dragons are not so scary. Dragons are always mysterious and powerful to people, they like to deify them, and if there is a big thing about them, they will brag about them.

So De Laere didn't fully believe that Blue Sky Island was really that dangerous.

Originally, De Lael was also worried that Aegie would be worried, after all, it was a rumor about the sea dragon, and humans were generally afraid of the dragon's strength. But he didn't expect that when Aiji heard the rumors of the sea dragon, he laughed excitedly, nodded and said, and chose Blue Sky Island as the development base.

De Laere looked at him and felt incredible. Aiji's excitement seemed to be saying that he chose Blue Sky Island as a development base precisely because of the rumors of the sea dragon. He wouldn't have gone if it weren't for the sea dragon.

De Lael could only sigh that he couldn't understand the person of Edge more and more.

After deciding to choose Blue Sky Island as a development base, Aegie told De Laer that they would set off for Blue Sky Island tomorrow to see what the situation was like on Blue Sky Island.

De Laere was taken by surprise by Edge's decision. No matter how active they are, they are still on Jericho's merchant ship, and it will be too sudden to go to Blue Sky Island tomorrow. De Laere believes they should arrive at Hayman City first and prepare for anything else that they have not prepared before they can go with confidence.

Besides, the rumors about the distant Hailong Island on Blue Sky Island may not be true, but they may also be true. What if I go to Blue Sky Island rashly and encounter a sea dragon attack?

De Lael's concerns were valid, but Edge didn't take them. He didn't have that much time to prepare slowly, and he already had a plan of his own. Before he can develop the Great Sword, he must also go and kill Mavihan and find Anne. Only by solving these personal matters that seriously affect his state of mind can he devote himself to developing the 'Great Sword'.

Therefore, for the development of the 'Great Sword', what he can do now is to find a safe base as soon as possible and let Delaire help manage and develop. Finally, when he returned, he began to develop in an all-round way and fight.

Edge literally told Delaere about his plan, and Delaere objected. However, considering that the start of the 'Greatsword' team does require a buffer time, there is no problem for Aggie to leave temporarily. And he also wants Edge to devote himself to the development of the 'Greatsword' team, if his mind is disturbed by other things, it will be very detrimental to the development of the team. After thinking about it, he agreed to Edge's arrangement.

The next day, Aegie and De Laere took a spare boat and headed for Blue Sky Island together.
