Chapter 49: The Conquest Begins Again

"The Root Country?"

Akira narrowed his eyes. He was sure that if he wanted to attack the Country of the Sea, the Country of Water would have to pass through the Root Country.

No matter how good the relationship between the Star Country and the Country of Water was, it still bordered the Rainbow Country. As a neutral country of trade and tolerance that connected major exchanges between large and small countries, no country would allow the Country of Water to let its army threaten the Rainbow Country.

The Root Country is located next to Cardan Island and the Country of Sea at the same time. The distance is less than 500 miles, and the distance from the Country of Water is thousands of miles. For the Country of Water, it is the most suitable supply springboard to attack the Country of Sea.

And Akira's current thought is that even though Marine is fine now, it's better to take off from their springboard first.

Although he is confident that even if he doesn't eliminate the Root Country, he can still stop the army of 100,000 people in the Country of Water, it's better if he can reduce his losses. Of course, Akira's main goal is to obtain the Root Country, mainly its enormous wealth.

"Vergo, take two warships, one heavy and one light, to the waters near the sea land immediately, do your best to capture the surrounding sea beasts and bring them back to Cardan Island."

After thinking about it, Akira first gave Vergo a task.

"Sea beasts?"

Vergo didn't fully understand and immediately looked at Kitano with suspicion.

"Sea beasts are all kinds of giant beasts with chakra. Your Highness, do you want to hire summon beasts? Most sea beasts can only fight in the sea."

Upon hearing that Akira suddenly asked Vergo to capture contract beasts, Kitano also had a strange expression on his face. Looking at Akira, he asked suspiciously.

"Don't guess if you don't understand. This mission is called the Sea Kings breeding program, Vergo, you should understand what I mean."

Akira waved his hand and then looked at Vergo.

"Sea Kings! I see."

After hearing it, Vergo nodded, as if he didn't see Kitano's curious eyes, he immediately fell silent.

"Take Kitano, and T Bone and I will go to the Root Country."

Nodding, Akira continued.

"Go to the Root Country? Your Highness, are you also going?"

Not only Kitano but also T Bone and Vergo were bewildered.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, the Root Country has only one main island, and I plan to arrange some means on the island."

As Akira spoke, he circled the Root Country map scroll with a red pen.

"Oh, Your Highness, I will go with you."

Thinking that Akira was going to the battlefield in person, Kitano was worried and immediately asked.

"No, I will bring some people from CP9 with me. If they can't protect me, it's useless for you to go."

Akira shook his head. Kitano is currently the only one under his control who has chakra. He also needs to ask him to help him convince those sea beasts. You should know that for contract beasts in nature, those who possess chakra are no different from a delicious meal.

Of course, Kitano doesn't know Akira's intention to use him as bait now, and even if he knew it, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

However, when Akira heard these words, he was really embarrassed.

"Your Highness wants me to contract those sea beasts?"

Suddenly, Kitano seemed to have thought of something, and immediately regained his energy, his eyes becoming hot.

"Indeed, Your Highness has not given up on me. I am the only one under Your Highness who possesses chakra. Only I can make contracts with those beasts. That must be the case."

The more he thought about it, the more confident Kitano felt in his heart, and he kept nodding in his heart.

"I understand your good intentions, Your Highness. I will follow Lord Vergo, rest assured."

Kitano nodded heavily, with a look of determination and confidence, which left Akira stunned for a moment.

As soon as a phone call was made, the Marine infant in the port immediately sprang into action. The four ships stationed side by side in the port. They were covered with armed marine soldiers. Many supplies were collected from the sea land.

Akira also prepared specially, adding a heavy artillery regiment composed of 500 people, equipping them with various heavy short, medium, and long-range weapons.

["Wild Python Gatling: Placed on the ground, it can fire at a speed of 6,000 bullets per minute, and can continuously perform devastating short and medium-range strikes. Effective range: 1,000 meters. Exchange requirements: 800,000 (eight hundred thousand) taels."]

["Hydrazine grenade gun: Six projectile grenades built-in, the shooting distance is relatively short, suitable for short to medium-range operations, with a range of 30-800 meters (here is the closest safe distance to the maximum range). Exchange requirements: 150,000 (150,000) taels.]

["Individual rocket launcher: can attack by sea, land, and air, with a range of 150-700 meters (here is the closest safe distance to the maximum range), exchange requirements: 150,000 (150,000) taels."]

Just these three types cost Akira more than 200 million, which made his wealth that was already consumed by the biogiant technology exchange reduced again.

For the first time, he felt that maintaining world peace also requires large amounts of money and financial support.
