Chapter 1621: Diplomacy of the Cloud Sea Giant Beast Legion

The Cloud Sea Giant Beast Legion, a legion formed by recruiting giant beasts from the sea of ​​clouds.

Although it is called a legion, it is more like a guard corps, and its main responsibility is to protect the floating island's route in the sea of ​​clouds.

If a legion is really established in the sky, it will be a very bad thing for the kingdoms on earth. Air control is very important, and the Dragon Knight Legion has a high status because dragons have the ability to fly and can attack the enemy from high altitudes.

So after the Cloud Sea Behemoth Legion had two members, Apple Pie and Little Flower, [Hermes's Traveling Hat] sent representatives to inform the various kingdoms of this matter.

Of course, it caused confusion at first, and even the Giant Kingdom Alliance looked unhappy.

The flying troops are scary, but the flying beast troops are even scarier. The flying beast troops plus the technology of the Age of Gods plus foreigners, then it is not called the Cloud Sea Beast Corps, but the Cloud Sea Beast Empire.

And this is related to the [Hermes's Traveling Hat], which is like a sword hanging over your head, and you don't know when it will fall.

This kind of reaction was expected by Hermes' Traveling Hat, and he naturally prepared some excuses to reassure the various kingdoms.

In this situation, the reputation of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] cannot be used as a guarantee. When you only have money, a sincere guarantee will reassure people. When you have money and an army, no matter how sincere it is, it will sound like a threat.

[Hermes's Traveling Hat] provides pure information without any bias.

The first is that the Cloud Sea Behemoth Legion is difficult to use for invasion operations. The Cloud Sea ecology refers to the life that lives in the Cloud Sea. They are like fish in the sea and can only survive in the Cloud Sea.

Although you won't die if you leave the sea of ​​clouds, you will lose the ability to float in the sea of ​​clouds and will fall straight down.

Unless the Cloud Sea Beast Legion is willing to use its precious Cloud Sea beasts to carry out suicide attacks, it is not an easy task to launch an attack on the ground from an altitude of ten thousand meters where the Cloud Sea is located.

The second is the Age of Gods technology, which is much simpler. The automatically operating Age of Gods Grems in the wild will indiscriminately attack all targets, but the Age of Gods technology used by the Cloud Sea Behemoth Legion is produced by the Ark AI Jasmine system, and both have the underlying logic of [prohibiting harm to humans].

Even the energy guns made by Shendai Technology will automatically lock on humans when aimed at them, making them unable to attack. However, if the enemy is a murderous foreigner, Shendai Technology will release the lock.

He took the initiative to say that in addition to not wanting the kingdom to discover the Cloud Sea Behemoth Legion in the Sea of ​​Clouds, which would make the situation irreconcilable, there was another reason, which was to attract sponsorship.

Exposing the huge cost of training the Cloud Sea Beast Legion, it hints to the kingdoms that the scale of the Cloud Sea Beast Legion cannot be expanded to form an extremely terrifying force.

In order to address the fear that the sky military force would arouse, [Hermes's Travel Cap] specifically showed its weakness, which is the need for a large amount of high-quality food.

It is impossible for all the food provided to the Cloud Sea Beasts to be the glowing dishes of foreigners. The production cannot keep up, so it is inevitable to import food produced by the kingdom. If the kingdom blocks this gap, the Cloud Sea Beast Legion will face the risk of layoffs or even disbandment.

But [Hermes's Traveling Hat] is not a fool. High-quality food is the reward provided to the Cloud Sea Behemoth Legion and the key to maintaining cooperation. How could he really hand over his life?

The Gourmet Continent is the real supply port for the Cloud Sea Behemoth Legion, and showing weakness is just a way of giving face.

The most troublesome diplomatic issues were solved in a casual conversation with [Hermes' Traveling Hat]. Although there were invisible swords and sabers in the conversation, as long as it could be solved, it was fine.

The problems on the ground were solved very smoothly, and the expansion of the Cloud Sea Behemoth Legion was also very smooth.

After obtaining Apple Pie and Xiaohua, two highly mobile sea monsters, the next target is the fortress-type sea monster [Hail Cloud Dragon Turtle]. [Hail Cloud Dragon Turtle] is a giant sea monster with an average level of LV200. It is also a rare sea monster known to people on the ground.

Because it is so big, its mountain-like body moves slowly in the sea of ​​clouds like a large dark cloud, and is often mistaken for an impending rainstorm.

Most of the time, the Hail Cloud Turtle is a harmless monster. Its main food is some kind of microorganism that exists in the sea of ​​clouds. But if it reaches its growth period which occurs once every ten years, it will be a major disaster.

As its name suggests, its shell is shaped like an iceberg, and during the ten-year growth period, the shell becomes narrower due to the growing flesh. There is no time to sharpen the shell in the sea of ​​clouds, so the Hail Cloud Dragon Turtle will find another Hail Cloud Dragon Turtle every ten years and collide with each other's shells.

The tiny fragments of the turtle shell will turn into large hail when passing through the clouds, causing widespread damage.

While causing large-scale hail disasters, there are also benefits. The shells of the hail dragon turtles sealed in those large hailstones are extremely rare and powerful materials.

In addition to the purpose of building a large aerial fortress equipped with heavy firepower, support aircraft, and spare parts, another reason for recruiting the Hail Cloud Dragon Turtle was this.

Rather than waiting until the growth stage when the Hail Cloud Dragon Turtles destroy their shells by colliding with each other, it is better to have foreigners and the technology of the Age of Gods destroy it directly.

Recruiting Hail Cloud Dragon Turtle is much easier than recruiting Sky King Fish. Although they are of high level and huge size, they are monsters without territorial awareness, and they have a long survival time and very stable personalities.

With the help of the sky kingfish's unique strong sense of smell, the location of the Hail Cloud Dragon Turtle was quickly found.

On the way, Herbie expressed his concerns.

"The Hail Cloud Dragon Tortoise's stable mood is both a good thing and a bad thing. They won't attack actively, but they are too lazy to communicate, and even if they are attacked, they will be slow to react."

"Oh, I've heard of this, the businessman killer, the customer who wants nothing!"

"Where did you learn these words from?" Herbie's mouth twitched, but Blaze was right.

The most important thing for a businessman is [demand]. The Hail Cloud Dragon Turtle is like a hermit with no desires or requests, and with its special way of eating, food is useless.

Moreover, the Hail Cloud Dragon Turtles are very strong and have no natural enemies, so providing them with shelter is useless.

"After I passed the first hurdle, I encountered a more difficult one."

"Not always."

"Really?" Herbie turned around in surprise, only to see Blaze's expression become serious.

"how--"

Before Herbie could finish his words, a roar was heard from a distance.

The voice was filled with anger and pain.
