Chapter 524 South Island Chain
After crossing the strait between the southern island chain and the mainland, the "Goddess of Dawn" finally arrived at the end of the voyage, Port Pasto.
Although this is the most developed port in the southern island chain countries, it is not as prosperous as imagined, and even the elf inland port Caranto is not as good as it is.
The most important reasons are two. First, the countries on the southern island chain are not developed themselves. Although they are not as uncivilized as barbarians, their productivity is far inferior to those of the countries in the Flanese region.
The second is that the previous maritime trade was not the mainstream of world trade, especially the moodyness of the ocean goddess and the storm master, which made ocean trade extremely dangerous. The huge risks made merchants helplessly give up this method of trade that was more profitable and time-consuming.
But now everything has changed.
After arriving at the end of the voyage, the ocean trade was half completed, and Cedric, Woking and Amboree all received huge feedback.
They no longer obscured the abnormal movements on the river of fate. The three saints stood on the river of fate in the posture of the coming of the gods and declared the way.
"I Amboree, Woking, and Cedric will be together asylums of the marine trade."
The turbulent river of destiny connects to [Dayuan]. Although it did not cause personal feedback from the world's will like Cedric Creation of the Flame Clan and the Gu clan, the clergy of [Marine Trade] still condensed from [Dayuan] and divided into three parts and fell into the hands of the three.
Cedric merged this incomplete clergy with his [wealth] clergy. He suddenly felt that he had made another step forward from the enthronement of God, and could even hold a ritual of God based on the faith he has condensed. If there is no external interference, he would easily become an eternal true god.
However, it is impossible without external interference. Neither the Gemini of Destiny nor the Gewushi will allow themselves to be successfully enthroned, so their own ritual needs to be prepared for another way.
Cedric smiled and said to the two goddesses, "Since the plan has gone well, I'll leave it to you later."
Both of them knew that Cedric had something else to be busy with, so they understood his departure. Woking nodded, "You give it to us such a good opportunity, we can't ask for it."
It is undoubtedly the best time to form a faith by gathering a clergyman. Cedric left at this time, obviously giving up this part of the cake. To a certain extent, the three of them are also mutual competitors.
However, their competitive relationship is not like a mortal enemy who holds the same clergy, but rather an alliance with common interests.
The main reason is that [Marine Trade] is not the main priesthood of the three people, but an expansion of their authority. Moreover, if this priesthood loses the assistance of any party, it will become incomplete.
After greeting the two goddesses, Cedric found Dolan in an excited state again. He is not only a saint of the goddess of wealth, but also the most important financial officer in Dawn City.
Dolan reported to Cedric excitedly, "If we return successfully this time, we will get a profit of tens of millions of gold coins at a time."
In this era, marine trade is a profitable industry. At the same time, the routes of the three most prosperous trade cities, including Dawn City, Caranto and Pasto Port, are undoubtedly huge profits among huge profits.
The rich raw materials on the Southern Island chain, the exquisite elves of Caranto, and the huge market of Dawn City rely on Flannis, the three form an excellent complement.
Cedric told Dolan, "In addition to this route, you can prepare some new routes, such as starting from Emerald City, following the direction of the storm current, opening a route that detours the Flanese Trade Coast, and even opening a route that crosses the Chaos Sea and goes directly to the Eastern Continent."
"Maybe you will become the first businessman to connect to the planet Os in the future."
Hearing Cedric's words, even the ambitious Doran fell into a daze. If he could really become the first businessman to connect to the planet Os, he would probably be promoted to God by the goddess immediately?
Of course, it is also good to become the God of His Highness in front of you.
The Goddess of Wealth does not mind that her believers believe in other gods, especially now she is still in her honeymoon period with Cedric.
"Of course." Cedric painted a big pie. How to stimulate subjective initiative is the most important thing for leaders to do. You should know that the power of these businessmen's explosions is no less than that of the army.
The power of the countries in the southern island chain is not strong, and even Cedric's current "Dawn Goddess" fleet can completely separate a huge island to establish a country. However, this is not the best solution, because Dawn City does not lack land, and what is lacking the most is the "nationals" who agree with the concept of Dawn City.
In Cedric's view, the concept of nationality is even more important than land. Only an empire with a unified and highly concentrated cultural identity can last for a long time.
Even if it falls into the trough of history, it is possible to rise again. The Dongtu in his previous life is undoubtedly like this, and the opposite example is the ancient Roman Empire.
Although this was also a powerful country that was once famous in history, its citizens did not highly recognize the common culture, which made this powerful giant fall quickly in a short period of time and never stand up again.
The economy accompanied by cultural invasion was Cedric's first step in expanding the sphere of influence of Dawn City to the southern island chain, which was much more useful than conquering a group of slaves by force.
After explaining his philosophy to Dolan for a night, Cedric left the fleet of the "Goddess of Dawn" the next day, but he did not return to Dawn City, but went to the underground world.
As the full war with the orcs approaches, Cedric must also quickly accumulate his strength.
Although now, in terms of superficial form, Dawn City and Orcs have achieved a comprehensive advantage in the battle, it is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
In this autumn hunting operation, the orcs dispatched only safari troops from 20,000 small tribes. Even because of the floating city, the 20,000 elite troops and 100,000 minion troops of the three major orc tribes had never officially entered the battlefield.
But the war next year will not be that simple. First of all, these 20,000 elite troops and 100,000 minions will become the pioneers of orcs and aim directly at Dawn City after a year of integrated training.
At the same time, the Orc Empire, the same Orc Empire can gather at least millions of troops, although in order to prevent the elves and humans from stealing their homes, the Orcs must leave a large number of troops.
However, the number of elite troops attacking Dawn City is likely to reach more than 500,000, which can almost destroy a powerful human kingdom of military power, and now Dawn City needs to face it by itself.
Not to mention the orc god-type true god behind this army and the evil gods peeking at the city of Dawn.
Although Shuguang City now has the powerful weapon of Floating City, the total strength of Shuguang City is less than 50,000 people, and all prosperity now must be based on completely resisting the orc attack next year.
So Cedric not only did not relax, but became more urgent.
