Rise of the Plants

"Haha, right? You don't really think that we value your island. If it wasn't a resource-rich place, we wouldn't want it. Otherwise, our Holy Dragon Empire wouldn't be this big."

Everyone present knew that the four major empires and a few places were the most resource-rich areas on the entire continent. The other places were so barren that they had no idea of ​​even occupying them. As for the Holy Tree Territory, it is not because of how rich their land is, but because of their various plants and commercial trade with the Half-Elf Empire.

Goldhaar and others were a little annoyed when they heard these people disparaging overseas. But in fact, this is also true. In terms of resources, the large overseas islands cannot compare with the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Yes, our resources are indeed far inferior to those of the Holy Dragon Empire, but there are no resources on the islands, but there are many in the sea. Places close to the islands are the easiest to mine."

Everyone thought about it and realized that this was also the case. There are many resources in the sea, but it is too difficult and dangerous to go deep into the sea. If that's the case, that's a pretty good place.

"That makes sense, so why don't you develop it yourself?" A nobleman suggested.

"Our alchemy ability is not as high as yours, so even if we want to develop it, there is no way."

Goldhaar did not hesitate to tell his shortcomings, which were not secrets in the first place.

"That's right. Even if our Holy Dragon Empire cannot effectively develop the seabed now, it is even more impossible for you. However, the sea close to the coastline is not a problem for us."

One noble said proudly, and another noble also spoke: "But no matter what, it is the Holy Tree Territory that we really want to deal with. If it were not the Holy Tree Territory, we would not care about overseas at all."

At this time, Quonon, who had been thinking for a long time, said: "Very good, the information you provided is very useful, so how do you want to cooperate." Duke Quonon was somewhat tempted by overseas resources.

After so many years of development in the Holy Dragon Empire, all places with resources have owners. It is really difficult to expand. Even some ordinary mineral veins were fought over by some small nobles. Nowadays, expanding overseas and developing new resources is the best way to transfer internal conflicts.

Moreover, he might be able to gain some benefits for his lower-level council members behind the backs of those dragons.

Goldhar said without thinking: "We need flying boat technology and other alchemy technologies. In addition, our power is far inferior to that of the Holy Tree Territory. We will not directly participate in the so-called war."

"How dare you, how can you covet the flying boat technology? I think these people are simply harboring evil intentions."

The flying boat is one of the most powerful military weapons in the empire. How could it be handed over to outsiders casually? Once they develop, wouldn't that add another enemy to their Holy Dragon Empire?

But Kuannon didn't think so: "It's okay to provide you with some technology, but it can't be the latest, and you must also provide your technology to us, so that we can be equal. You don't have to directly participate in the war, but you must Provide them with some overseas intelligence, especially about the Holy Tree Territory."

Unexpectedly, the Duke actually agreed. Godhar nodded quickly and said, "No problem. After asking the head of the family for instructions, we will immediately send people with sufficient status to sign an agreement with you."

"Agreement? What we want to sign is a contract." Agreements have no effect at all. How could such a big thing not be subject to strong contractual constraints? This way both parties can feel more at ease.

"It should, it should." In Godhar's view, obtaining the technology of the Holy Dragon Empire would have a greater impact on the development of his family. The Holy Dragon Empire simply looked down upon people like them. So what if the technology is given to them? After the Holy Tree Territory is cleared up, they will be next. If they get some outdated alchemy technology, they have to spit it out twice as much.

They do not want these two large islands to develop into two top kingdoms that can compete with them.

Why don't those top kingdoms dare to move easily? They just don't want to lose too much. Each of these kingdoms has powerful flying boat technology, and even some other special knowledge and resources.

"Now, can you tell me your location." Duke Qunon said.

"Of course." The two parties have signed a temporary contract, and the formal contract can be signed next. On the map, Godhar quickly drew a circle.

"It's about this far away from the Holy Tree Leader."

As soon as he saw this, Kuanong tried a color on the person next to him. Then, everyone quietly started to do their daily routine. Regarding this strange change, Godehar and others had no idea why, so they could only do as the Romans do.

But what Godhar did not expect was that in less than two hours, near dusk, a soldier hurried in. "My lords, we have found out that those big islands do exist."

Then, a recording crystal was placed in the middle of the table. After activating the crystal, the footage recorded from high altitude appeared in front of their eyes. Below the sky, there are large islands, as well as people or buildings on the islands. From a proportional analysis, each of these islands is indeed not much smaller than the Holy Dragon Empire.

"There are really such big islands overseas. I really learned a lot today."

"Yes, yes, I have never found it before. It seems that I am looking in the wrong direction. Look at the airships in the sky in the picture. They are all from the Holy Tree Territory. I didn't expect that the Holy Tree Territory has developed overseas. went."

"Huh, so what if we develop overseas. Sooner or later, our world will be ours. If the Holy Tree Leader doesn't want to give up, it will never make any noise. When they want to say it, who will believe their words."

Many nobles are really satisfied now. The big nobles look down on those barren and remote places, but the small nobles like them. Just because all the land is owned, even the empire cannot attack other countries at will.

But it's different overseas. There is no direct connection between overseas and inland. As long as they are defeated, the work is done, and other empires will have no chance to intervene. These places can only belong to the Holy Dragon Empire. Then the next step is how to divide the land and resources of this island.

Goldhar and others were shocked. They never expected that the Holy Dragon Empire could make a round trip in such a short period of time. How on earth was this accomplished? The empire's foundation is indeed unfathomable.
