The southernmost country of Inverdian - the kingdom of Banlosi.

It's a small, tourist-oriented country with a glorious history, but now it only exists in the southernmost part of the Invidian continent. The number of troops in the whole country is pitiful, and it can be said that in the event of a war, the only choice is to surrender.

Therefore, on the contrary, such a weak country has nothing to worry about after thinking it through.

For the king also wisely declared that if a powerful country wanted to occupy them, as long as it was peaceful, then it would be safe to integrate. But if you want to enslave them, flee and resist as much as you can!

Believing in the imperial power that wants to occupy them in the chaotic wars of the future, they are not willing to waste time and troops to forcibly cleanse a country.

In fact, many people are dissatisfied with this optimistic attitude.

But they all know that what can be done if they are not satisfied? They are small countries, and even if all the people are soldiers, there are only a few million people, and there is no point in resisting.

......

"Sure enough, I don't understand the way this country handles it, and weakness and resistance are obviously not in conflict. Ohara said as he sipped the juice.

They are now in a small seaside town, although the summer has passed, and even the southernmost part of the Invidian continent comes early in autumn, but the seaside town still attracts people from the outside world.

"The king knew what to do, but the people didn't. Zero Ya said indifferently.

"The people of the Banlosi Kingdom are accustomed to traveling comfortably, and if you calculate that not many people will want to let them give up their family business now and let men join the army. Moreover, countries that are vigorously developing tourism have greatly reduced the rate of their original arable land, and once tourism stops working, they will not even have the money to buy food from their neighbors. Ink Sin said simply.

"There is also the civil war of the sea shark tribe in various seas, and the seafaring trade is almost paralyzed, which has also taken a heavy toll on the country's tourism. Unless the king issues an order in a short period of time, vigorously mobilize reforms, abolish all original tourist areas, forcibly modify cultivated land, and increase grain and grass reserves. ”

At the same time, we have to find a way to buy enough metals and medicines to maintain basic weapons and equipment and logistics and medical care at a time. ”

"The Banlosi Kingdom obviously does not possess these capabilities, and the consequences of forced and rapid reform can only be the chaos caused by the country itself. ”

Ling Ya commented indifferently, she also knows about this country, and she can know the result with a simple analysis.

"Then we should also try it, what if the reform is handled well? Wouldn't it be possible to have a certain ability to protect ourselves, at least at that time we will have bargaining chips." Ohara's puzzled by this.

"Even if it succeeds, a small country with a population of millions will have all the names of soldiers, and priority will be given to eliminating 20% of the old, young, sick and disabled, and then excluding at least 10% to 20% of the logistics command, and all women will add only one or two million troops. Do you think that a well-trained and well-equipped Imperial army can destroy this country with only 200,000 troops?" asked Zero Ya rhetorically.

"Uh...... How does it feel like a tenfold difference in strength, and I can't stop it when I hear you say this. Ohara thought about it.

"It's not a feeling, it's that it can't be stopped. Mo Sin said with conviction: "The short-term reform and expansion of the army, whether it is its own quality and equipment supply, or strategic command and will to fight, is not at the same level at all, and such a gap is useless even if it is ten times the strength of the army." ”

"What's more, even if the Banlosi Kingdom wants to be completely reformed, and the whole country will respond positively. Do you think these neighboring countries will sit idly by? If there are ambitious empires and domains, they will not secretly intervene or limit the necessary resources?"

"And you have to know that now the sea areas have been in chaos, and the sea supply lines have basically been blocked. In other words, it can now be judged that each continent deals with each continent, and the rest of the continents are difficult to do even if they want to intervene in the long run. ”

Mo Sin's subsequent words completely discouraged Xiao Yuan from continuing to argue, because she had already understood the predicament of the Banlosi Kingdom.

Actually, it's not that their king wants to be optimistic, but that their king knows it very well.

They themselves have no possibility of resisting, and the most they can do is to recruit as actively as possible. When the time comes, the number of troops will look larger, and the negotiation will be a little more confident.

......

"Sure enough, it's better to care about your own affairs, but is the news given by grandpa accurate? He said that there may be an island maze in the sea here, but it seems that there is no fluctuation at all now. Xiao Yuan looked at the sea in front of him with a little complaint.

"The area given by grandpa has never been certain, and in the past six months, except for the lonely cold forest and the dangerous land of the stars and the moon at the beginning. There are only two real labyrinth fluctuations, and one of them is completely unsuitable for our artifact inheritance labyrinth. "Ink sin.

In the past half a year, while they have been training all the way south, they are also trying to find traces of the labyrinth. With some of the locations given by their grandfather, they can be regarded as having some clues.

But even so, most of them did not really appear in the labyrinth, or even if there was a real breath of the labyrinth, it was not yet the time for the labyrinth to appear, and it was impossible for them to force out the labyrinth.

There are only two places that were really found later, and one of them is not suitable as Mo Sin said. And in one place, they can't actually get in for the time being, because it's not fully opened.

"Island mazes generally appear far from the shore, and the probability of occurrence in this area closer to the coast is relatively low. Most likely, we're going to run for nothing, but it's good to take a break here. "Zero.

"It's okay, I've been really tired for the past six months, and I haven't had a good rest except for the hotel with a good environment. Most of the time I sleep in the middle of nowhere, so it's nice to rest here for a while. Ohara stretched and said.

With her action, it can also be seen that her figure has also become better with age.

"Could it be that Grandpa the Celestial Patriarch deliberately marked out this place to have a labyrinth area just to let us come here to rest?" little Shelley suddenly thought.

Mo Sin and Xiao Yuan were stunned, with the character of their grandfather, it seemed that it was not impossible.

"Little Shelley, when you say that, it seems to be true. Ohara said with a smile.

"I've been thinking about the maze for a long time, and I seem to have forgotten that my grandfather cares about us, which explains why it is unreasonable to draw an island maze so close to the coast. Mo Sin also shook his head with a smile.

"Taking a break once every six months seems reasonable. Lingya thought the same.

At this time, they were basically sure that Grandpa had indeed deliberately set aside such an area for them to have a good rest. It just so happens that the Kingdom of Banlosi is a country dominated by tourism, and the leisure and entertainment here are very good, and the food is naturally rich.

Thinking like this, they couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed, and they could relax.

In that case, there is no need to continue to be tense.

"Then take a good rest, but don't let your guard down, masks, face towels and the like should still be worn, although it is true that no one has appeared against us for half a year, but it does not mean that there will always be none. Mo Sin still maintained basic vigilance and said.

"I know, I won't make such a low-level mistake. Ohara said with a smile.

Little Shelley also nodded obediently, needless to say, she is a very cautious person like Mo Sin.

Thereupon.

For the next two days, they were enjoying their leisure and entertainment time to the fullest, in this rare time.

......

Until.

They ran into another acquaintance, and some surprising acquaintances.

That's Menita-senpai.

"Sister Menita, why are you here? Are you going on a training mission now?"

Sister Menita is still familiar with them, and when they first hunted for the feast, they also exchanged a lot of points from Sister Menita.

Originally, they didn't want to recognize them, but Senior Sister Menita also recognized them, and when she showed a surprised look, they already knew that their identities would definitely not be hidden.

They were wearing ordinary clothes at this time, so the camouflage was simple scarves and eye masks, which was good for those who were not familiar with them, but it was difficult for Menita-senpai to be more familiar with them.

"I'm surprised why you're back here, it's a tourist-oriented leisure country, and it doesn't have what you need, right?" Sister Menita was even more surprised.

"Let's take a break here. Mo Sin said truthfully.

"But I'm lucky to have met you, and I'll be going back to the academy in a few days. Menita smiled.

"Senior sister, you seem to be very ...... to us Usual?" Zero Ya asked.

"Then what else? Whether it's you or Xiang Ji's junior brother, there is no direct conflict with me, is it possible that you still want to kill me here." Menita said speechlessly.

"That's not it, we also met Senior Tarot before. Mo Sin also smiled.

"Isn't that right? Outsiders don't know about you, and those of us who live in the same academy don't know what kind of people you are?" said Menita.

Between the words, the familiarity and intimacy of the students belonging to the same college spontaneously arise, and perhaps this is also the place where Lange Academy itself is proud. Because no matter where you go, the best atmosphere between the colleges can always be said to be Lan Ge Academy.

"Yes, indeed, I'm sorry I thought too much. Zero Ya said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can understand your situation, it's okay to be cautious. Menita smiled.
