Alien Lord

In ordinary times, Houhai Kingdom relied on its own powerful navy to block the dangers coming to the sea. From time to time, it would take the initiative to attack and wipe out some threatening pirate legions and sea beasts.

However, in recent years, with the turbulence of the people's livelihood in neighboring countries, a large number of ordinary poor people either became refugees or went to sea to become pirates, which greatly strengthened the power of pirates, and the number of pirates has also increased sharply in recent years .

If in the past, the number of pirate groups around Houhai Kingdom was ten, then it would be directly two hundred now.

The rapid increase in the pirate team has led to the threat that the Houhai country is now facing. The navy of the Houhai country has no time to rest in recent years. Today it will encircle and suppress the pirates here, and tomorrow it will rescue the besieged pirates. The merchant ships or islanders and the like, the day after tomorrow, they have to escort the spirit stone ore transport ship back to the land and the location of the spirit stone mine...

The continuous operation has made Houhai State's navy exhausted. If it continues like this, it is 100% that there will be problems.

Other problems are fine, at most it will be a loss, but if the ocean and the spirit stone mines on the island are in danger, it will really endanger the national foundation of Houhai country.

The biggest reason why the Houhai Kingdom can continue to exist under the threat of so many powerful countries around it is not because of the seabed and the spirit stone mines on the island.

Every year, the seven floors of the spirit stones mined by Houhai Kingdom from these spirit stone mines are paid out as protection fees, and half of the other three floors are also spent in the surrounding countries to purchase some Military supplies, daily necessities, luxury goods, etc., the last thing that can be left is about one layer five.

Therefore, although there are a lot of spirit stone mines in the Houhai country, there are not many of them left behind. Therefore, the surrounding countries are jealous, but they are not jealous enough to send troops to capture the Houhai country.

Of course, these countries don’t fight the doctrine of the Houhai Kingdom. Apart from the support of powerful countries behind the Houhai Kingdom, the biggest reason is that the nine-story Lingshi mines of the Houhai Kingdom are located on the seabed and surrounding islands.

If these spirit stone mines were located inland, then these countries would have captured Houhai country long ago.

It's just that these spirit stone mines are located on the bottom of the sea and on islands, making it extremely difficult to mine. If you don't have special personnel to mine, you won't be able to mine spirit stones at all.

Even if spirit stones are mined, there are not small problems here, such as the transportation route, the protection of spirit stone mines, and the protection of transport ships, etc., are not small problems.

Brutal beasts are extremely sensitive to spirit stones, and they can 'smell' the smell of spirit stones hundreds of miles away. In addition, the number of aquatic savage beasts in the ocean is much larger than the number of savage beasts on land, so, Every mined spirit stone mine will face the threat of countless wild beasts.

If you want to mine spirit stone mines safely, you must first solve the threat of these aquatic beasts, and this is obviously an extremely difficult task.

Like the Houhai Kingdom, it took nearly a thousand years and spent countless blood and lessons before it came up with some countermeasures.

However, even if this is the case, the number of warriors who die in Houhai Kingdom due to the attacks of these sea savage beasts every year is no less than 10,000.

This is 10,000 warriors, not more than 10,000 soldiers, the loss here is huge,

That's predictable.

This is also the main reason why Houhai Kingdom has so many spirit stone mines, but the number and quality of warriors in the country are not as strong as those in neighboring countries. The number of warriors that Houhai Kingdom loses every year is really too large.

Also, when transporting spirit stones, it is inevitable to face the threat of countless pirates.

The location of the Lingshi Mine in Houhai Kingdom is not a secret to those pirates, and even when the Lingshi is transported, they can't hide it from the pirates.

Therefore, as soon as the spirit stone transport ship started transporting, the countless pirates, like a pack of wolves who smelled blood, gathered together and launched an attack.

Perhaps among the thirty or forty attacks like this, only one or two attacks were successful, and the others were all failures.

However, even one or two successes are enough for those pirates, because every success brings millions or even tens of millions of spirit stones.

For millions, tens of millions of spirit stones, those pirates would do anything and would give everything for it.

Therefore, every transportation of spirit stones is a big battle, which also leads to the death of tens of thousands of soldiers every year.

With more than 10,000 fighters and the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers, the number of spirit stones I got is not much more. On the contrary, I have to worry about it. If this is the case, it is better to let Hou Haiguo face it All of this, anyway, the number of spirit stones they got would not decrease much, even if it was less than what they mined, but it was not much less, so until now these countries have not sent troops to capture Houhai country.

In the past, the Houhai country could persist, but in the past few decades, the number of pirate legions around the Houhai country has risen sharply, and there is no sign of weakening until now, but there are more and more signs.

The current naval power of the Houhai Kingdom can no longer last. Therefore, the Houhai Kingdom is planning to expand its naval strength, and if it wants to expand its navy, it must first have a warship. No, the Houhai Kingdom will come here to buy a warship.

The most mortal enemy of the Houhai Kingdom, the Houtang Kingdom, is well aware of this. They don't care about the threat of the pirates facing the Houhai Kingdom, and they even wish that the Houhai Kingdom would be swallowed up by those pirates, because in this way, They can take advantage of it.

Therefore, in the auction of the warship, the third princess of the Houtang Kingdom tried every means to disrupt the Houhai Kingdom, and kept raising the price of the warship, because she knew that no matter how high the price was, the Houhai Kingdom would have to buy it.

Of course, the third princess is just making trouble, and when a certain price is reached, she will let go.

One is that if she has already bought a war flying boat and completed the mission, if she buys it at a sky-high price, not only will she not be rewarded by the emperor, but she will even be severely reprimanded. Maybe she will never do it again in the future. Taking charge of the auction house, this is definitely the last thing the third princess wants to see.

Therefore, in order to prevent Hou Haiguo from directly giving up the bidding because the price was too high, the three princesses generally would not raise the price too much, lest they shoot themselves in the foot.

Seeing the withdrawal of the most threatening competitor, Prince Li of Houhai Kingdom couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

In this bidding, Prince Li was very clear about the thoughts of the third princess of Tang Dynasty. He knew that she was only here to make trouble for him. Once the price reached a certain level, the third princess would give up. Therefore, for Prince Li, , the biggest threat is actually the strong barbarian.

Well now, the barbarian powerhouse launched this bid, so the war airship above the ninth floor is his.

However, even so, it was not easy for Prince Li. His brows were always furrowed, because the third princess was really too difficult to deal with. will let go.

In fact, Prince Li really wanted to let go of this, so as to give a good look to the third princess of Tang Dynasty who didn't know what was good or bad. However, thinking of the current situation in the country, especially the increasing threat of pirates, Prince Li finally calmed down. He knew that this time he had to be fooled.

Now that the matter has been decided, Prince Li no longer concealed it, and immediately whispered to the second prince who followed him here: "Hai'er, if the third princess bids the price later, you can directly ask for 2,100,000 spirit stones." , now our opponent is only this one, and you know the domestic situation, so we must take down this warship, and we must not make any wrong decisions because of a moment of anger.

It is clear that the hatred between those guys in the Tang Dynasty and us is clear. They hope that we will be wiped out by pirates. Therefore, even if the third princess provokes you again, you should ignore it, let alone be fooled. It should be known that the most important task for us to come here this time is to buy the warship, understand? "

In order to prevent the second prince from making mistakes, Prince Li kept emphasizing it.

"Yes, Uncle Emperor, I understand that this top warship belongs to our Zhou royal family, and no one can take it away!"

The second prince, Zhou Chenhai, replied in a deep voice, his tone was heavy, and he was extremely confident!

At this time, the third princess raised the sign in her hand with a smile, and shouted loudly: "2010000 spirit stones!"

Seeing the third princess raising the bidding card in his hand, the second prince Zhou Chenhai here first glanced at the third princess with hatred, then he immediately raised the bidding card in his hand and shouted loudly: "We bid 2,100,000 yuan!" Lingshi, follow me again!"

With a sound of "Boom...", the atmosphere in the auction hall was detonated again, and countless discussions sounded, warm and lasting.

Then, there were exclamations throughout the audience!

"It's really amazing. I didn't expect to break through to the price of 2,100,000 spirit stones. I really came to the right place today!!"

"It's not enough that the bidding price of a warship exceeds 2 million, and now it has directly hit 2,100,000 spirit stones. This..., this..., this is really a crazy day!"

"It seems that Hou Tang really made Hou Hai miserable, which led to the direct price increase. Hehe, today's auction is really exciting!"

"In the future, the grievances between Tang and Hou Hai, I believe this price is not the final price, the heart of the three princesses is very dark!"

As this person said, this price is not the final price. ...
