Chapter 388: Chaos
Smuggling is impossible, it is impossible in this life, and Chen Mu doesn't want to do this kind of stupid thing that throws himself into the net, so he tries to mix in the "Qingfeng Xulai", in order to naturally use the name of the Jiang family to reduce some trouble.
Of course, even the Jiang family's fleet could not have the privilege of being exempt from inspection.
In fact, there is no such privilege at all, but all ships and personnel who want to enter and exit the "Golden Sea" must be inspected by the merfolk clan.
But the real trouble, that is, the western sea side, such as the northern side, is much lax, Chen Mu encountered Dorothy and them before, it was a few days after entering the "Golden Sea", and it was not as strict as the west side at all.
As for the border in the southern seas, it is even more of a place that is almost no man's land, and there are no ships and people coming and going at all, and naturally there is no need for border guards.
The border of the Northeast Sea is the front-line battlefield, the fish-people invade there all the year round, and the human merchants avoid it, that is, adventurers and mercenaries who are not afraid of death, they will go there to make a living, and there is no border checkpoint, there are war fortresses over there.
But in reality, the Fish-Man Clan's invasion of the "Golden Sea" is likely to have not been exhausted, and it can only be regarded as a small fight.
It is said that in the vast "uncharted sea", the merfolk occupy a large area, both in terms of territory and population, far beyond the mermaids.
On the human side, there is indeed a saying that the Fish-Man Race is called the "Fish-Man Empire", indicating that it is a huge and terrifying super-powerful force.
This statement is not quite the same as that of the Oni Clan, although the Oni Clan is called the "Iron Core", and their self-proclaimed name is said to be the "Empire", but for humans, it is all the Oni Clan's own statement of putting gold on their faces.
Compared with the Fish-Man Clan, the Ghost Clan is far inferior to the Fish-Man Empire in terms of the size of its territory, the richness of its resources, and the overall number of its population.
Of course, no one has ever been able to say what is going on in the depths of Uncharted, because anyone who wants to venture deeper into the depths of the Fish-Man will end up being reduced to the food of the Fish-Man Clan, and no one will ever come back alive.
But after corroborating with some of the secrets of the mermaid clan, at least what can be sure is that the mermaid empire does exist, and the scale is very large, and even once made the ancestors of the mermaid clan desperate, until the belief of the sea god penetrated into the blood of the mermaid clan, and the temple system was spread out in a big way, and the merfolk gradually became less panicked.
There is a very realistic speculation, that is, the Fish-Man Clan, who have been invading the "Golden Sea" all year round, is actually not the regular army of the Fish-Man Empire at all, let alone spending the whole country to wage war.
In fact, in this speculation, the Fish-Folk who have been invading this side should only be a few large tribes on the Fish-Man side close to the "Golden Sea", that is, the "neighbors" of the Merfolk Clan.
To put it simply, this can only be regarded as a private act, similar to the military exercises and military training of those large tribes, or simply a coming-of-age ceremony, and it is not an act of war at all.
Otherwise, with the overall strength of the Fish-Man Empire, if the whole country had really mobilized the strength of the whole country to wage war against the "Golden Sea", I am afraid that the merfolk would have been completely wiped out long ago.
Based on this current situation, there is also a corresponding speculation on the human side, that is, on the other side of the Fish-Man Empire, that is, on the other side of the distant "Uncharted Sea", there are likely to be other super forces that contain most of the energy of the Fish-Man Empire, which leads to their inability to take action against the merfolk side.
But even if this speculation is true, Chen Mu is definitely not right in the recent situation, at least the "evil spirit sea monster" that suddenly appeared on the side of the "Corner of Doom" should still be behind the fish-man clan.
If this is the strategy of the Fish-Man Empire, it is likely that the Fish-Man Empire's energy is tilted to the west, that is, on the side of Middle-earth.
Of course, due to the geographical location, if the Fish-Man Empire really launches a full-scale war, it will definitely be the merfolk who will bear the brunt, and the "Golden Sea" is sandwiched between the far seas of the "East China Sea" and the "Uncharted Sea", and there is nowhere to escape.
On the other hand, the situation on the side of "Doom Point" seems to be a mess now, but the sea area there is not large, and the depth is very limited, unless the Fish-Man and the "Evil Spirit Sea Monster" can completely overcome the side effects of landing, it is unlikely that they will make a full landing from there.
Therefore, in Chen Mu's view, the situation on this side of the "Golden Sea" is similar to that of the "Eagle Country", where the mountains and rains are about to come, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it, and it may fall into a comprehensive chaos at any time.
It's just that the grassland is facing the demon race's large-scale southward movement, and the reason is naturally the loss of the Great Wall of Desperation, even if it is not a complete loss, but the fall of the "Frost Fortress" means that the Great Wall of Desperation is no longer an insurmountable moat, and it is impossible to protect the human race south of the Great Wall.
And on the side of the Fish-Man Empire, if it is really sharpening its knives to the pigs and sheep and planning to launch a full-scale war against the west, then the most likely situation is, of course, that the Fish-Man Empire has eliminated the enemy on the other side.
Now that they have their hands free, they naturally have to turn their guns and completely exterminate the merfolk race in the "Golden Sea" first, and then deal with the humans in the "East China Sea" and all coastal areas.
If this is the case, then the future of the human race is really worrying, there are still the North Pole Guard, the Golden Family, the army of the Backing King, and other large and small human forces in the north for the time being, it really depends on the overall strength, but it is really not necessarily afraid of the demon clan.
But the account can't be calculated like this, the most troublesome part of human beings is that they can't be consistent with the outside world, although there are factional disputes on the demon side, but compared to the human side, it's really a big deal, and it's not enough to see at all.
Therefore, the situation in the north, the key depends on whether the army of the backing king can coordinate with the Arctic Guard and the Golden Family, at least to ensure that they do not pull each other's back, so that it is possible to resist the demon clan.
Of course, it is really difficult to expect them not to fight each other and unite with each other, so Chen Mu is not optimistic about the battle situation in the north, at least in the long run, it should be the demon clan that has the advantage.
There is another key factor in this, that is, the battle for the heir of the Yang family, the king of the backer, seems to be frightening and bloody step by step.
In fact, considering the historical tradition of the Yang family, this kind of battle should be completely controlled at the bottom line or something, and it is unlikely that the army of the king of the mountain will really be sent to death.
If the battle situation is really unfavorable, Chen Mu even dares to bet with his little Ding Ding that the army of the backer king will definitely retreat in an orderly manner and go back to stick to the northern border of Middle-earth, which is the foundation of the Yang family.
