Chapter 650 Overlord of the Far Sea
At the same time that Viola was holding her enthronement ceremony, in the far southwest of the continent, the Demon Kingdom of Subbia and Tandelon were further south.
This is a large piece of broken land, almost entirely composed of islands. Due to the lower latitude, the natural sunlight hours are longer. Under the influence of sunlight and sea breeze, the skin of the people here is bronzed, and everyone lives with the sea.
Originally this was a barren land. After all, there are good places. Who would want to come to an archipelago surrounded by sea on all sides?
And land reclamation is very tiring, not to mention the transportation here is very inconvenient.
Until about three or four hundred years ago, a captain set his sights here.
When he was young, he served as a captain in the Tandelon Navy, but he was actually from the Demonic Kingdom of Subia. After retiring, he started a business. Relying on his connections and skills, he became successful in a few years. , business alone has become an existence that the country cannot easily ignore.
He noticed this sea area because he found that it not only has a large number of high-quality natural deep-water ports, but also found that it is a must-pass for merchant ships connecting the east and west continents.
At that time, the various demon kingdoms had not paid much attention to it, but the captain had noticed that his colleagues often established supply bases in this deserted archipelago.
This made him aware of the opportunity.
An opportunity to transform from a businessman into a devil.
So he took action.
With his connections, he obtained a large number of decommissioned warships, and relied on his brains to repeatedly jump between Tandelon and Subia Demon Kingdom to strive for benefits.
He planned to establish a country in this archipelago area and seize the throat that merchant ships from the east and west must pass through.
This naturally aroused the astonishment of the friendly countries. Tandelon and Subia Demonic Kingdom said, "Are you just lighting a lamp in a manhole and looking for shit?"
The large capacity and speed of sea transportation are irreplaceable for land transportation. If this area is blocked, will the two countries still do business in the future?
Of course they didn’t dare when it came to the money bag, so the two countries joined forces and launched an attack from the sea.
It is said that the naval battle lasted for almost three months, and both sides suffered heavy losses. But in the end, the businessman who tried to build a country won.
The country he founded was called Guateni. He himself was called the Overlord of the High Seas because he defeated two naval powers by himself, and his reputation was unparalleled for a time.
Many melon-eaters were watching the show at this time, such as Avarus at that time.
Everyone believed that such an awesome guy would not be satisfied on a small archipelago. He would definitely want high-quality fertile farmland on the mainland. It would not be long before he would definitely start a war again.
But the reality is anything but the same.
The Overlord of the Far Sea stopped after that, and until his death, he did not expand the territory of the Guateni Demon Kingdom even a little bit, and his successors, his children and grandchildren, were all loyal kings from generation to generation.
I have to admit that the monarchs of the Guateni Demon Kingdom are quite capable in running the country. They have managed a grassroots team so well that they are ranked among the Seven Demon Kingdoms.
But the territory of the Guateni Demon Kingdom is the smallest, and its national power is also the weakest. Apart from the navy, it has nothing that it can take advantage of.
And even if the navy has not fought a war for hundreds of years, it is still unknown how much combat effectiveness it still has.
There are even rumors that the reason why the Guateni Demon Kingdom does not fight is because the children and grandchildren of the Overlord of the Far Sea are not his biological children and have not inherited his skills and ambitions at all.
But this is not the case. It is not that the Guateni Demon Kingdom does not want to attack, but that it cannot attack.
The reason is simple, someone doesn't let them do it.
The Seven Apostles, a name that should have been buried in history long ago, actually have been active in the shadows.
No one knows how big the power this name represents, nor how many people are connected to them overtly or covertly, but what is certain is that when the Seven Apostles take action, even the Demon King can only bow his head and give in.
Of course, they will not take action easily, but secretly control the situation of the entire continent from behind.
To put it more simply, their threat to each demon kingdom is, 'If you don't obey, I will unite with the other six demon kingdoms to beat you.'
No demon king dares to bet. In fact, almost all existing demon kingdoms had the active presence of the seven apostles when they were first established.
And maintaining the number seven is actually just a coincidence and has no special meaning. Seven is fine, five is fine, but there must be at least three.
What they want is an odd number, because as long as there are odd numbers, they can achieve vertical and horizontal integration and restrain each other.
The reason why the Guateni Demon Kingdom was able to defeat the coalition forces of Subia and Tandelon Demon Kingdom was because of them. Likewise, it was also because of them that it did not allow the Guateni Demon Kingdom to continue to expand.
On this continent, the war between the demon kingdoms seems to be a mess, but in fact it is all realistic acting, but most of the actors are not aware of it. How the war will be fought and to what extent it will be fought are all arranged in advance. The seven apostles are like directors, controlling the war within a limited intensity.
To put it simply, I pretended to be the bandit you saw, and you pretended to be the bandit we saw, but the bandits the civilians saw thought they were real.
This is how this continent has lived for thousands of years, but smart people have discovered that the situation is different now.
The seven apostles summoned four demon kingdoms to conquer Avarus. According to the script, as soon as Princess Viola dies, the seven apostles will immediately arrange a character to "step forward to save the country and save the family." The oppressed civilians resisted and eventually succeeded in establishing the country.
This time the plot did not go according to the director's idea, but something unexpected happened.
The Demon King God is back.
Not only did Princess Viola not die, but she also successfully returned to the country, and the seven apostles' plans were shattered.
Not only that, the four countries that had gathered to attack Avarus were unable to take action. Now they had an attitude towards the seven apostles of "you tell me, I'm listening", and then they treated him as a fart and ignored him at all.
Why is this happening?
Because everyone knows that the Demon King will not deal with useless things with you.
In the Guateni Demon Kingdom, Demon King Claydy may be one of the first demon kings to realize that change has come.
In his view, the Demon King of the Enwei Demon Kingdom loves great achievements and has a moody personality. Therefore, everyone in his subordinates is in danger, and he is not a wise king.
The Demon King of the Demon Kingdom of Subia relies on his scheming, but is actually as timid as a mouse. Now he has closed the country tightly and is not allowed in or out. It is like an ostrich operation that if you are covered by a ghost, you can't come and catch me.
The Demon King of the Oswea Demon Kingdom has a weak character. Although he does a good job in internal affairs, it is extremely difficult to make immediate decisions, and he almost loses a good opportunity to besiege the Tandelon Demon Kingdom.
The Tandelon Demon Kingdom, on the other hand, thought that it had a prosperous military and was arrogant and arrogant, unable to see the situation clearly.
On the other hand, the Demon King of Lakshurya, who was cooperating with the Demon Kingdom of Oswea in the siege of Tandelon, was the first to see the problem, perhaps because he was young and quick-thinking.
The Demon King God has returned. From now on, the orders of the seven apostles can be completely ignored.
The threat of the Seven Apostles is no longer useful. It is like the financial bubble on Wall Street. It looks very big, but actually collapses as soon as you poke it.
The seven demon kingdoms are actually the industries that support the seven apostles.
Now everyone realizes that the Demon King and God are back. Without the Seven Apostles of Man and Bird, their power will shrink at an extremely fast rate.
For example, the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya suddenly attacked Tandelon, and the Demon Kingdom of Lakshurya suddenly rebelled. These were all actions taken after realizing that the Demon King God had returned.
The war on the continent is getting more and more intense, involving all seven demon kingdoms. Although it seems chaotic, the situation is actually becoming clearer.
So, in this case, what should the Guateni Demon Kingdom, which has always been a little transparent, do?
Demon King Claydy only said one word to the people sent by the Seven Apostles.
"roll!"
Although the power of the Seven Apostles will not collapse so quickly and it will take time to completely bury it, it is no longer the time for the Seven Apostles to speak.
Other demon kingdoms don’t listen to you, do you think I will listen?
Compared with this, Claydy was thinking about what to do.
Because the Demon King God, no matter whether he is a tyrant or not, he is at least an eternal king, and a god is immortal.
And this king is not only the creator of the entire plane, but also the creator of the entire demon clan. When he completely rules the world, who do you think he will hand over his mortal rights to and who will help take care of him? kingdom?
Naturally, he is his most devout believer.
Under such conditions, Claydy was thinking about how to ensure the rights of himself and the country, and how to profit from the upcoming chaos.
This is what a national leader should do, and this is what the descendants of the Overlord of the Far Sea should realize for their ancestors.
