The trade route is a simple two words, but it is full of the heart-wrenching pain of the Western countries, including the country of Qixia.

If you want to understand the trade route intuitively, looking at the map is the easiest.

The country of Qixia is located in the westernmost part, and to the east is the neighboring country of Jinyang, which is the most powerful of the western countries.

There are two 'eastern countries' bordering the country of Jinyang, the 'country of Taihua' to the north and the "country of Canglan" to the south.

In fact, from a geographical point of view, the country of Taihua and the country of Canglan also belong to the countries in the west of the continent of fertile soil, or the central and western regions.

However, the position of the two countries is very crucial, and it can even be said that it is unique, just blocking the trade routes of the countries in the west and northwest of the Fertile Land Continent.

The country of Taihua is a landlocked country, while the country of Canglan is close to the sea - it is an inland sea, an emerald sea.

The coast of the Land of Tranquility just crosses the Green Sea of Death and the Sea of Emerald.

Moreover, there are only a few coasts in the east, located in the Emerald Sea range. But just a little off the coast, there is the only seaport in the land of the waves, and it is also the westernmost seaport in the Emerald Sea:

Qianlong Harbor.

To the west of Qianlong Harbor is the Green Sea of Death, and to the east, to the Emerald Sea.

The Green Sea of Death is different in color from the Emerald Sea, and the border is like a winding dragon.

Qianlong Harbor, like the head of a divine dragon, divides the sea into east and west.

Compared to the dangerous outer sea, the Green Sea of Death, the Emerald Sea belongs to the inland sea, which is the territory of human beings, and the sea monsters dare not wreak havoc, so there is a developed shipping here.

The ships here do not need "treasure ships", ordinary wooden boats are enough, so there are many fleets of large and small ships.

Ships from the east of the Fertile Land Continent, or even the Turbulent Earth Continent, or even the Kunlun Continent, can directly reach the country of Canglan and the countries in the east of the country of Canglan, such as the country of Langya.

Cultivation resources such as pills and medicinal herbs can then enter the western, northwestern, and northern countries of the Fertile Earth Continent by land from the country of Canglan or the country of Langya.

However, the country of Taihua and the country of Canglan, one south and one north, are like iron cables, firmly blocking the trade routes of the western and northwestern countries.

This trade route, which connects the sea and the land, is the so-called 'trade route'.

However, when the trade route leads to the west and northwest of the Fertile Land Continent, it needs to pass through the country of Canglan or the country of Taihua.

Needless to say, the two countries have a monopoly on trade routes without mercy!

By monopolizing trade routes and manipulating the prices of cultivation resources such as pills and medicinal materials, the two countries can obtain hundreds of millions of spiritual stones, massive spiritual materials such as dark iron, red copper, and pure gold from the western and northwestern countries of the Fertile Earth Continent every year, as well as medicinal materials unique to the west and northwest, and sit on the ground and strengthen themselves.

In this way, it has also created an extremely developed spiritual environment in the two countries, and such a spiritual environment has continuously attracted geniuses from all walks of life, making the two countries stronger.

Two countries, which control almost a quarter of the resources of the fertile continent, are needless to say.

In the central and western part of the Fertile Continent, these are two well-deserved powerhouses.

The countries of the West hated the greed of the two countries, while the countries of Langya in the further east coveted the wealth of the two countries and feared the strength of the two countries.

However, the country of Taihua and the country of Canglan are embarrassed and work together to fight the world. The west rejected the eastern crusades of the western countries, and the eastern part overwhelmed the other countries.

"Even in the entire fertile continent, the two countries are well-deserved powers! And we are going to go eastward, these are the two countries that we want to conquer!"

In the end, Wu Fanghai's face was as solemn as ice.

Zhang Hao was silent.

Previously, when the princess was collecting donations, she said that the crusade was not for victory, but for survival.

Now Zhang Hao suddenly understands more - no one is not eager for victory, the reason why he says 'not for victory' is because the princess also knows very well that the gap is too big and there can be no victory at all!

And the so-called survival is just a matter of surviving.

Trade routes, like a rope, are firmly on the necks of the Western countries, and all the Western countries can do is to survive longer – but they will not escape destruction!

Zhang Hao's eyes scanned from the map, and suddenly found that in the east of the country of Taihua and the country of Canglan, and in the north of the country of Langya, there was a huge territory, on which was written 'the country of Shaoze'.

According to the scale on Wu Fanghai's map, it is speculated that this country of Shaoze is only 15,000 miles wide!

Zhang Hao pointed to the country of Shaoze: "Father-in-law, this country of Shaoze should not be bad, can we contact the country of Shaoze and the rest of the eastern countries to attack the country of Taihua and the country of Canglan?"

"Do you think the enemy didn't expect it?" Wu Fanghai shook his head, "You have also seen that this country of Shaoze is so vast. So, everyone is afraid of this country.

Nowadays, the surrounding countries have supported the uprising of different princes by interfering in the internal affairs of Shaoze. Therefore, the current country of Shaoze seems to be strong, but it is actually weak.

The latest news shows that the country of Shaoze has been divided into two camps, east and west. Each camp has multiple princes, and even big families, sects, and other divisions.

In the current country of Shaoze, there are at least fifteen first-class separatist forces. The rest of the forces, large and small, are hundreds. ”

"Therefore, the country of Shaoze is now a piece of fat, and all the surrounding countries want to go up and take a bite. ”

"The reason why we chose to go east now is because we have received news that a large number of military forces have been invested in the country of Shaoze in the country of Taihua and the country of Canglan.

This is our chance.

And the country of Langya in the east, and even the country of Shaoze, will help us hold these legions back. ”

Zhang Hao took a deep breath, the situation was even more chaotic and grim than he imagined.

Wu Fanghai went on to explain:

"Between the country of Zhongshan and the country of Taihua, there is a mountain range, the Great Snow Mountain. ”

"In the east of the country of Jinyang, there is also a large mountain range, Qiufeng Ridge. Those bordering the country of Taihua in the north are called 'North Autumn Wind Ridge', and those bordering the country of Canglan are called 'South Autumn Wind Ridge'. ”

"The Great Snow Mountains and the Autumn Wind Ridge are difficult for birds to cross, but there are many valleys between the peaks that can be traversed. Many valleys are more than ten miles wide, enough for a million troops to pass through. ”

Zhang Hao suddenly had a question: "Father-in-law, no matter how high the mountain is, it can't stop the cultivators, right?

The north and south mountain ranges are more than 20,000 miles long, so it is impossible not to miss them!"

Wu Fanghai nodded: "It's good to think of this." But war, it's not that simple. ”

Wu Fanghai's face gradually became serious, and he seemed to intend to cultivate Zhang Hao. Although Zhang Hao was a bit of a threat to himself before, as a general, he still liked such hard bones.

Zhang Hao's performance made Wu Fanghai see a young man with courage and potential.

Moreover, Zhang Hao now has the realm of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, and the true yuan in his body is pure, majestic, and quite extraordinary.

He was already old, and he had been wounded again and again, and his life had been severely consumed.

Although the Yuan Infant has thousands of years of life, it is just a beautiful number. Which cultivator can avoid fighting, getting injured, stimulating potential, extreme cultivation, etc., and all of this is a drain on life.

Now, he urgently needs to find a successor, a shoulder who can carry the country, a backbone who can hold up the sky for this land.

He has cultivated several talents, but isn't the more talented, the better?

Now, he thinks Zhang Hao is very good.
