Chapter 2085 The Thoughts of the Southern Capital Kingdom (Bonus Chapter for 600 Monthly Tickets)

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's get down to business."

Seeing that the brother and sister were about to start fighting again in the blink of an eye, Zhou Xu smiled and called for them to stop. The whole situation didn't seem to be in a great deal of urgency.

Indeed, based on the brief report from the previous wireless equipment, he did not take the Southern Capital Kingdom seriously.

Although the exact strength of the Orc Alliance is still uncertain, they can easily deduce a general situation through brief contact with individual Orc tribes and the intelligence gathering they have conducted.

If they really go to war with the Orc Alliance, their Great Zhou still has the strength to cope.

The reason they haven't taken action is simply that they don't want to put in the effort. They feel that fighting this war isn't worth it, and they'd rather focus on development than waste their time on it.

In contrast, the Southern Capital Kingdom was forced to seek help from the sea after dealing only with a portion of the orcish tribes.

It is not difficult to see from this that even if the other party has some strength, it is very limited.

Upon hearing Zhou Xu's words, Sigrun quickly recounted what had happened.

This, of course, includes the incident where I threw a shot at the other side.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Sigrun suddenly felt a little guilty.

Zhou Xu smiled and waved his hand, then turned his gaze to his son, Zhou Ye.

"Ye'er, what do you think? Tell me your thoughts."

Faced with this situation, Zhou Ye, who already had some guesses in his mind, knew that his father was testing him, so he directly told him all his thoughts.

"I think my sister was used by the other side."

"According to the intelligence, the leader of that ship should be the monk Baoyin, who is also the national teacher of the Southern Capital Kingdom. If the officer did not have the tacit approval of the monk Baoyin, how could he dare to make such a fuss?"

"The other party's purpose in doing this is most likely to test our attitude and strength."

According to the monk Baoyin's own account, they went to sea to seek help, but was seeking help really their only purpose in going to sea?

"The Southern Capital Kingdom has been plagued by orcish invasions. Their voyage this time may well be an attempt to find a way out."

"Considering the threat posed by the orcs and the losses they have caused them over the years, if we could find suitable land overseas and migrate the entire nation there, it might not be a bad option."

"If there are people on that land, but they are not as strong as them, then we can just wipe them out and occupy the land."

Upon hearing this, Sigurd's expression turned rather unpleasant.

"I'm going to kill them right now!"

"Hey, no!"

Zhou Ye quickly grabbed his sister.

"Why kill them? There's no need."

As Zhou Ye spoke, he turned to look at Zhou Xu, who smiled and gestured for his son to continue.

“The people from the Southern Capital Kingdom may have had malicious intentions towards us, but they did not take any action. More importantly, they pose no threat to us.”

"Under this premise, the Southern Capital Kingdom is adjacent to the orcs."

"Judging from the location, it is most likely one of the orc tribes within the orc alliance in the new district."

"We might as well use the military strength of the Southern Capital Kingdom to fight against the orcs."

"Of course, we don't need to take action ourselves, but we can sell them weapons to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Southern Capital's forces."

"In this way, we can sell weapons and gain foreign trade revenue; secondly, we can use the Southern Capital Kingdom to deplete the orcs' forces; and thirdly, we might even be able to make the Southern Capital Kingdom further attract the orcs' attention, making the border of our Great Zhou New Area more stable."

Zhou Xu used the same methods extensively when the United Nations still existed, and Zhou Ye has clearly figured out this period of history in recent years.

This move can be described as killing three birds with one stone, but Sigrun on the side has a new question.

"But how can we be sure that the people of Nandu will act as we expect?"

"It's very simple."

Zhou Ye confidently stated...

"We just need to demonstrate our strength, ideally to the point that they wouldn't even dare to entertain the slightest thought of resistance."

"Under these circumstances, this entire coastal area is part of our Great Zhou territory, so it's unrealistic for them to seek new aid or land."

"Therefore, the Southern Capital Kingdom has no choice but to take the weapons we sold them and fight the orcs." After listening to Zhou Ye's analysis, Zhou Xu nodded with a smile.

"That's right."

Over the years, this kid has indeed matured a lot by following Li Ce's side.

No wonder Li Ce wrote a report before, saying that it was about time to give Zhou Ye some opportunities to lead troops and carry out missions independently.

This is clearly the fundamental reason why Zhou Ye appeared in the palace at this time.

Zhou Xu's original intention was to call Zhou Ye back, examine him personally, and then figure out how to arrange things for him.

As it happened, that incident occurred on Sigraun's side, and the two siblings' return times just happened to coincide.

This saved Zhou Xu a lot of trouble, as he directly tested Zhou Ye on this matter.

He was quite satisfied with the result.

"Perfect timing. Ye'er, you can make the trip and bring that monk Baoyin over. I want to meet him in person."

If the other party were just a Saint Realm mage from another country, Zhou Xu probably wouldn't have been very interested and would have just had his subordinates deal with him.

But since the one who came was a monk, it's possible that he was related to the previous monk Wuchen.

Then he'll have to take a closer look.

Perfect timing! Let's see if we can use this opportunity to find out some information about that monk Wuchen.

During this time, when Sigurd heard that Zhou Xu had handed the matter over to Zhou Ye, she immediately became a little unhappy.

"Father, leave this to me, I can handle it!"

Looking at his daughter, Zhou Xu smiled helplessly.

"Of course I believe you can handle it, but have you forgotten your current position?"

"..."

"I previously assigned you to oversee the female warrior port, so are you supposed to stay there?"

"..."

“This situation is special, and the Northeast Navy, led by Badler, is right on the outskirts. It’s one thing for you to come back once, but you can’t just leave the port unattended and keep running around there, can you?”

"Oh."

Sigrun pouted.

“But I want to defend myself! I didn’t come back without thinking. I saw that old sailboat across the river. With the Northeast Navy there, they can’t even get ashore.”

"In addition, when I arrived in Mistila, I also asked Lieutenant Colonel Brett to go and keep an eye on the port for me temporarily."

Brett was formerly a great general of the female warrior tribe and is now a lieutenant colonel in their Great Zhou. After Zhou Xu repaired the Trial Hall, Brett, who underwent the inheritance trial, also successfully reached the Vajra Realm.

Previously, he had been stationed in Mystila City, leading the Pegasus Knights on patrols of the Warrior Women Mountains, while also keeping an eye on the situation in the Void.

Even after the void was pieced together, it remained in Mystila as a support unit.

"Even if Lieutenant Colonel Brett makes a mistake and they manage to land, once they land, if they go through the desert, they will either die in the desert or be intercepted by the Rakshasa District garrison. If they choose to cross the Warrior Women Mountains, they will be intercepted and killed by the Mistyra City garrison halfway across."

After saying that, Sigrun tossed her head back.

"I've thought it over carefully! I'm leaving!"

Upon seeing this, the father and son exchanged a smile.

"Then, Father, I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and chased after them.

Are you angry?

"No! You've already broken through, why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"You didn't even ask. The first thing you said to me was, 'No way, no way.'"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
