"How's it going?"

In this regard, I only heard the minister speak: "Report to Your Majesty, the Harpy Banshee Squad sent to the 12th Sea Area to carry out reconnaissance missions has not returned yet, and there is no news coming back."

Eric Moonton, who got such an answer, suddenly froze his expression.

The twelfth sea area is indeed far away from his side, but now that time has passed enough, and he has not come back yet, it is very likely that something has happened.

Eric Mountton, who realized this, couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Something happened to the Harpy Squad, which looks simple, but there are too many problems revealed.

Because this means that there is a high probability that there are air forces on the side of the twelfth sea area!

However, considering some unexpected circumstances, it is also possible that they are already on their way back, but they may have been delayed by something.

I saw that Eric Mountton's face changed back and forth for a while, and then said, "Wait a while and see how it goes."

As for William Mousse, he can only continue to appease.

If this can be done for him, it will be much easier to ask him to send troops to support him later.

After receiving the news, William Mousse was obviously not satisfied with Eric Meyeton's reply.

Full of anxiety, he only felt that time passed very slowly, and it was clear that for a person who had a long time, this time was nothing.

On Xia Qi's side, he was far away from the main battlefield, and his life was very comfortable.

The war on the Franc Islands will have a result before the end of the year, and there are almost no surprises.

On the other side, the geological exploration team that had earlier received his permission to rush to the bitter cold land to explore the geology finally arrived in that area under the guidance of the Twin Legionnaires.

While the others stayed here to set up camp for the night, the leader of the geological exploration team and a few members of the team said to a young soldier, "Comrade Khoopa, we want to go to that site first, please lead the way."

Kuppa, a soldier of the Twins, is also the discoverer of this vein.

"Okay, Captain Jiang, please come with me."

Captain Jiang is a middle-aged man who looks close to fifty years old, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, which looks a little gentle, but his skin is very rough, and he doesn't look like a clerk sitting in an office, but more like a person who often runs outside.

With Captain Jiang and his party, Hu Pa quickly walked towards the place he had marked before.

After walking down the road, a group of members of the geological exploration team led by Captain Jiang have been observing the surrounding terrain.

Then, one of the team members said, "I haven't seen much vegetation in the whole area around here since just now."

Captain Jiang, who heard this, nodded, because he also noticed this.

Although the environment of the bitter cold land is harsh, there are still many cold-tolerant plants growing on the ground, and there are actually few completely bare areas like this.

"It seems that there is indeed a problem with this geology, Xiao Zhang, remember to bring some sand samples back later."

"Okay, Captain."

As everyone spoke, they walked along, and after walking for a while, Hupa, who was in charge of leading the way in front, stopped, and then reincarnated and said to the group, "This is it, Captain Jiang."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Needless to say, the team members went their separate ways.

I have to say that the professional is different.

Obviously, the exploration equipment is still behind, but just by relying on some simple geomorphological features and geological characteristics, he can obtain a lot of information that he has not thought of before.

Just listening to Hupa after him had a feeling of benefit.

At the same time, listening to Captain Jiang's words, the big stone that pressed on Hu Pa's heart finally fell, because from those words

He could know that Captain Jiang had made the same judgment as him.

There's definitely something down there.

Of course, today is to have a preliminary understanding of the situation, and further information will depend on the detection results in the next few days.

And during this time, Hopa has also been following.

In addition to leading the way, he was also responsible for protecting the safety of the geological exploration team, so he naturally had to follow the geological exploration team throughout the process.

Nowadays, there is no danger in this area, so the work of the geological exploration team is also going very smoothly.

After some detailed exploration work, a report was quickly delivered to Xia Qi's eyes.

According to the geological exploration team's findings, the area should contain a staggering amount of coal underneath, and in addition to the coal mines, there is a mineral unknown to them.

Because after examining the geological composition, they found an unfamiliar component in it!

"Associated mines?"

Seeing Xia Qi here, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

A vein with associated ore is not uncommon in itself, and he studied it for a while in his early years when he first started tossing the mining industry.

However, there are many associated mines in the coal mine, and based on this information alone, he doesn't know what the associated mine is.

Then, Xia Qi said to the guards beside him, "Xiao Hei, you go to the Mineral Research Institute and get this piece of information about the coal mine."

In the early years, Xia Qi obtained a book of minerals, which contained a large number of minerals and ore types, some of which had been discovered by Blue Star, but a large part of which Blue Star had not yet known.

During that time, he spent a lot of time and energy copying the above content.

After Luo Xiaohei came back with a thick book, Xia Qi began to check the contents of it and quickly look it up and confirm it.

Among them, because this unknown mineral is a companion of coal, not all of this category can be dispatched, and this can be narrowed down.

In addition, this unknown mineral is something they have not found before, so those associated minerals that have been discovered can also be ruled out entirely.

As a result, there are only a few minerals left.

As a result, the answer is not narrowed down to one, but there are still several.

Further information can only be obtained after the minerals have been mined and studied.

However, no matter what kind of mineral it is, there is value in being mined.

Immediately, Xia Qi clapped on the spot and said, "Zhang Liang, you go and instruct me to prepare to build a mining field on the newly discovered ore vein in the bitter cold land."

At the same time, with Xia Qi's thoughts, the system map was opened, and then the area of the bitter cold land was automatically enlarged.

Now Great Xia is in the bitter cold land, and there is only one Twin Cities under reconstruction.

And that vein is far away from the Twin Fortresses, and when the time comes, if he wants to connect the mining field to his own territory, it will only take a lot of time and energy.

Thinking of this, Xia Qi couldn't help but have a headache.

But in any case, let's build a mining farm first, and then mine a batch of new minerals, and let the ore research institute study it first.

Another period of time has passed, and there has been no news from the Harpy team sent out before, even Eric Murdon has to admit that the worst situation is true.

Now the trouble is coming, he originally sent the Harpy team to help William Mousse investigate the Twelfth Sea area in exchange, plus a part of the distribution of benefits, in exchange for the other party's fish-man troops to come to support.

And now, nothing has been investigated, and the Harpy team has disappeared from the world, and it is obviously impossible to get support from the Fishman Force from William Mousse.

Thinking of this, Eric

Moonton's mood suddenly turned bad.

After a moment of hesitation, in the end, he chose to tell the truth to William Mousse.

Eric Mountton: The Harpy team I sent to Sea Twelve may have been wiped out.

After receiving this news, William Mousse was shocked.

Although the orc civilization does not increase in intelligence, but he is not stupid, in this era, the advantage of air units is very great, and to be able to wipe out an air team, to a large extent, can only explain one problem, that is, the other side also has air units!

For a moment, the No. 12 sea area, which was already shrouded in fog in William Mousse's eyes, instantly became more mysterious.

Who did it?

Chinese players?

Or an exotic player?

And what is the situation on the 12th side of the sea area now?

It's a terrible feeling that you're completely out of your control.

Just when Eric Moonton was feeling a headache about this, the news from William Mousse's side had already been sent.

William Mousse: So, what are you going to do?

He wasn't in a hurry to take a stand, he wanted to see Eric Moonton's attitude first.

He had sent a fish-man unit to support the other party, because they had promised to help him investigate the situation in the 12th Sea, but now, the Harpy team has not found anything, but the fish-man force he sent to support the Black Sail fleet has suffered heavy casualties.

No matter how you calculate this account, he has lost a lot.

If Eric Moonton can't give him a satisfactory answer, then there is a good chance that he will choose to transfer back to his Fish-Man unit.

It's a big deal, he won't be involved in the rest of the matter!

Anyway, as long as he hides at the bottom of the sea, the other players in the battlefield can't do anything about him.

At this time, Eric Moonton undoubtedly guessed William Mousse's thoughts, and for a while, his mood couldn't help but get worse.

But he also knew that he would have to explain this matter sooner or later.

William Mousse: In the end, because Sea 12 is too far away from us, we might as well settle the battle on this side first, and then gather our forces and fight directly to Sea Area 12. When the time comes, everything will be figured out.

William Mousse, who saw this news, narrowed his eyes.

He wasn't stupid, and he could see at a glance that Eric Moonton was trying to get him to send troops.

However, in this full-scale battlefield, although the two sides belong to the same camp, however, neither of them belongs to anyone, for the vast majority of players, their own strength is really strong, and personal development interests are above everything.

William Mousse, naturally, too.

William Mousse: I seem to have said before, I'm internally unstable right now.

Obviously, he did not want to send troops.

Eric Multon couldn't have failed to see this, but he couldn't just give up.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is the time when the army of William Mousse is needed, if the other side does not send troops, then the naval combat power of their Europa camp will be greatly weakened!

Giving up the benefits of the war after that will certainly make him feel pain, but the internal stability of his empire is more important.

If his fish-man empire collapses due to internal rebellion, then for William Mousse, the loss will be really big!

William Mousse, who knew this in his heart, naturally knew how to make trade-offs.

But in this way, the life of the Europa camp is not easy.

Things have developed to such a point that no one expected, not even William Mousse did not expect that this all-out war would lead to the problem of rebellion within his own fish-man empire.

In this regard, Eric Moonton on the other side sent him a message again after organizing the language.

Eric Moonton: If you continue to look like this, you won't find a result, or else, you

Send troops to the battle, if there are really traitors within your empire, then the other party will definitely see the opportunity to make a move. Instead of letting them lie dormant all the time, why don't you take the initiative to lead them out, and when the time comes, I'll send Hydra to help you quell the rebellion, how about it?

William Mousse, who saw this news, was suddenly a little moved.

This method is possible.

After realizing that there was a traitor within him, William Mousse's first reaction was to be on full alert, and at the same time to conduct a strict investigation, and he must find out the traitor, which is also the habitual thinking of most people.

But the actual situation did not achieve the effect he expected at all.

In the face of that level of all-out strict investigation, even if there are really traitors, they will hide to death, and they will not dare to come forward in a short time.

And Eric Multon's words are to let him sell a flaw to the other side and lure them to jump out on their own.

Moreover, the other party also promised that if there was really a traitor, he would send Hydra to help him quell the rebellion, which sounds like nine out of ten.

The only thing that made William Mousse hesitate was the price he had to pay at the moment of the outbreak of the rebellion.

Looking at the news window that had not moved for a long time, Eric Murton did not rush to send a message to urge, according to William Mousse's character, if he was annoyed at this time, it would not be conducive to subsequent negotiations.

Once, it's better to be a little patient.

William Mousse didn't let him wait too long, and the message from the other party also made Eric Moonton breathe a sigh of relief.

William Mousse: Yes, I'll send troops."

In the previous battle in the Ninth Sea, although the damage of William Mousse's fish-man army was not small, as long as he combined with his Black Sail Fleet, he could still form an invincible combination on the sea.

With this force, the battle will be much easier to fight in the future.
