Deal with the Smuggler
Sam didn't know where to start, so he looked through the files of his new students in the Naval Base. After finding some capable and well-connected people, he used the connections to get some basic information about some other nations.
He even used his military rank to get some more information. The military information is mostly related to the borders and armies, not much of the internal workings and the terrains. At least, he got one thing right though. Mov empire didn't have that much a volcanic region.
So, he definitely has to move to another planet to see.
After some futile efforts to get the required detailed terrain and contacting Yodha, Sam was stuck in the starting point.
Now, he felt like he might as well directly travel to other nations one by one. But he only had six months, he cannot come and travel through all of them.
