Alliance Building, the office area of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is busy at this moment.
This has been the case recently.
As representatives from enterprises, colleges and legions gathered in Shuguang City, more and more small and medium-sized settlements that smelled the opportunity to fetch the sheep sent envoys to the alliance.
Of course, there are people who come with sincerity, but there are many fake ones, and there are even plunderers who pretend to be normal settlements to come and fleece.
There was an example not long ago.
The survivor's settlement registered in the abandoned urban area two hundred kilometers away is actually a predator farm that sells humans and waists.
The merchants of Free State seized the many business opportunities of the envoys of Dawn City, bribed the supervisors of the Predator Farm, set up a disguised radio station for sending and receiving signals, packaged the settlement into a kind little white rabbit, and used this to deceive the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' signal positioning detection and callback verification and other procedures, and obtained the agency authorization of the base.
The businessman was gambling, and the betting alliance couldn't get enough energy to go to the site to confirm the survivors' settlement application one by one.
In this way, he can obtain diplomatic immunity in the alliance as a diplomat and seize benefits from the hands of various forces on behalf of a survivor community of thousands of people.
It has to be said that he accurately judged the work ability of the alliance's foreign affairs department.
The Alliance’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have the ability to conduct offline inspections on the settlements, but there is still a special group of players in the Alliance.
It is obvious that he underestimates the players’ enthusiasm for exploring new maps and new settlements.
On that day, several players skydived to that area, and after discovering that there was a difference between the local actual situation and the task description, they immediately submitted a report offline through the official website.
Although the local area is far beyond the scope of the alliance's law enforcement and the guards will not be dispatched, the semi-official refugee home will issue a mission to clear the raider camp based on the player's feedback information and offer a reward for the rescue of hostages.
At this point, the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was over, and then the work of the alliance's corps was over.
It is said that the Silver Corps will take on the subsequent mission, and the entire battle lasted only half an hour before it ended.
The players who captured the Raiders camp found the radio station in the stronghold that verified interactions with the Alliance Foreign Ministry and brought them back to Dawn City with the captives captured in the battle.
The evidence and physical evidence were present. In the end, the merchant from Free State was approved for arrest on charges of fraud and became the second merchant after Cindisson to be arrested by the alliance.
Faced with the ironclad evidence, even the Foreign Minister of the Free State Noreg, who participated in the Muscle Community Conference in the alliance, could not say anything, and could only pinch his nose and admit that he was depressed.
Since that incident, the Union Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strengthened the review process for survivor settlements from areas outside the Valley Province, and the workload of various departments has more than doubled.
As usual, the Union's Foreign Minister Cheng Yan sat in the office to review documents.
At this time, his deputy walked in with a letter and put the envelope on his desk.
Cheng Yan stopped the pen in his hand and glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and cast a gaze at him for inquisitiveness.
This is?
Protest from the Xilan Empire.
Looking at Cheng Yan with a surprised expression, the Deputy Foreign Minister made a helpless expression, took out a wrinkled newspaper from the document bag and placed it next to the letter.
...The reason is this newspaper.
Cheng Yan did not go to read the letter, but picked up the newspaper and took a look. He saw that the photo on the headline was the one that had been causing a lot of trouble recently.
...Gogly Observer?
The Deputy Foreign Minister nodded.
Yes...but it has nothing to do with headlines, but it has to do with the news on page 2, you will know it with just a glance.
I'll take a look.
Leaving this sentence, Cheng Yan immediately turned to the second page.
Unlike Survivor Daily, Goblin Observer is an unofficial private entertainment newspaper and is run by residents of the shelter.
After the Cindisson case, the Alliance Representative Conference voted to pass the Media Qualification Review Act and the Industry Committee formulated detailed regulatory rules, but it only required that current affairs news should not be fabricated and subjective inclined to be subjective, and commented news must cite news with reliable sources.
Although some people suggested to the manager that the alliance authorities would review the qualifications of the media, the manager did not nod on this matter. Instead, he followed the principles of expert services and public supervision as before, and handed over the management power to an industry committee composed of industry experts, and the supervision power was handed over to a representative meeting representing the public opinions and voices of the alliance.
In other words, the alliance's foreign affairs department cannot do anything to this newspaper in terms of procedures. Even if you want to do something, you have to go through the representative meeting or the manager...
With his index finger pressed his eyebrows, Cheng Yan looked at the deputy standing beside him and asked in an uncertain tone.
Are they protesting that we have taken in Yue people refugees?
The deputy foreign minister sighed and said.
Not... what they protested was that we called the Yue tribe people by ‘refugees’, and then they said some fables about the Sun-loading God Cattle.To be honest, I didn't understand it very much. In short, they asked us to refer to those people in derogatory terms such as sinners or sinners, and then expel them for the sake of the empire.
Cheng Yan couldn't help but hilariously moved the corners of his mouth.
OK, another big-horned deer god.
The deputy foreign minister gave him a helpless look.
I told that guy that we respect their beliefs, but also ask them to respect us as atheists... But that guy has a tough attitude and even threatens us to do the right thing with us at the Slime Research Community meeting.
Cheng Yan looked at him in surprise.
What does this... have to do with slime mold?
The deputy foreign minister shrugged his shoulders and complained in a low voice.
What the hell know... Damn, I feel that the Willant people are doing it behind the scenes. I know that those big noses pull these cerebral palsy into the community are not in good faith!
It cannot be said that the Bharat Province is also part of this land, and any voice of progress is worthy of encouragement...even if some survivors have made less progress.
Cheng Yan coughed and continued to ask as he looked at his deputy.
Now the important thing is to solve the problem... Are they all the demands they have put forward?
The Deputy Foreign Minister hesitated for a moment, but said the truth.
They also need to summon administrators.
Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again uncertainly.
Summon??
Haven't these guys woke up?
The deputy foreign minister said with an unhappy look.
Yes... they think we are wrong first.
Cheng Yan's expression gradually became serious.
Is this proposed by the Duke of Galawa?
Deputy Foreign Minister: I am not sure, the person who conveyed his written request to us was his follower, a guy named Neyan.
Cheng Yan pondered for a moment and spoke.
If anyone can meet the manager for such boring reasons, our managers don’t have to do anything else... I’m just free tomorrow afternoon, so I’ll meet the ambassador of the Xilan Empire.
The Xilan Empire can no longer be regarded as a small and medium-sized survivor force, and at least it can occupy the entire administrative division of the pre-war era.
Even though the other party’s demands sound outrageous or even unreasonable, Cheng Yan felt that it was necessary to listen.
Maybe there is some misunderstanding.
As managers always say, misunderstandings are due to lack of communication, and many problems can be solved through communication.
The Slime Fungus Research Community is the established organization that follows this principle.
If the survivors on all sides of the wasteland can put aside those long-standing disputes, cooperate on issues that concern the common destiny of mankind, and at least on some issues, this land has hope to usher in a new era.
For the sake of the future of human civilization, he felt that he needed to talk to this ambassador who came from afar...
……
The next day, Cheng Yan summoned the Duke of Galawa and set the meeting place in the conference room No. 2 of the Union Building.
With a stern and elongated face, Duke Galawa walked into the conference hall.
He did not take his seat immediately, but looked around the circular conference table, but saw that the only one sitting in front of the conference table was the foreign minister, and the expression between his eyebrows was immediately filled with a hint of arrogance and slackness.
At the Muscle Community meeting, he was also the administrator of the alliance.
What a foreign minister is?
Is it worth sitting at the same table with him?
However, considering the diplomatic etiquette, Duke Galawa patiently walked to the conference table and sat down, pointing his index finger on the table.
Where are your managers?Let him talk to me.
Facing the Duke of Galawa who showed an aggressive attitude as soon as he came up, Cheng Yan just stared at him intently and said with neither humility nor arrogantness.
Our managers have been tight schedules recently and it is difficult to schedule a separate meeting with you in the short term.However, he told me to do my best to do my host's etiquette and take good care of the foreign guests' emotions. The same is true for me to listen to your troubles.
It was not annoyance, interrupting him rudely, Duke Galawa squinted his eyes and said in a threatening tone, I say again, you are trying to provoke the rage of the empire.
Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Cheng Yan decided to not care about his rudeness for the time being with a solution to the problem, and continued patiently.
I came to solve the problem... So first of all, what I want to know is, what is the conflict between you and those Yue tribe people?
As he said that, he opened the notes on the table and picked up the pen to prepare for the record.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Duke of Galawa heard an angry protest in the conference room.
They are the sinners!
reason?
Sun-carrying cattle
Enough, Mr. Galawa, you know we don't want to listen to that one!
Cheng Yan, who could not bear it, finally couldn't help but interrupt this guy's nonsense.
Looking at the duke of Galawa with a stunned expression, he raised his voice and continued.
We want to know where your grudges come from, for example...who did they kill you, or have committed crimes like theft, robbery, and human trafficking before.You can treat this as a hearing, and we will listen to the opinions of both of you at the same time and strive to achieve a result that satisfies both of you. It would be best if it can help you reconcile...what do you think?
Duke Galawa stared at him blankly, as if he was looking at a strange and strange beast.
……reconciliation?
He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Why did he reconcile with those lowly guys, who are only worthy of kissing his toes?
Instead of beheading them, the Empire was merciful enough to keep them in a shed.
But those ungrateful guys actually escaped shamelessly from the Bharat Province, and cleverly excused their dirty bloodlines and pretended to be innocent people who could be pity.
This makes survivors elsewhere view the empire!
Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, Cheng Yan reminded him seriously.
Mr. Galawa?
The Duke of Galawa suddenly calmed down and leaned back on the chair.
Just when Cheng Yan thought he was finally planning to communicate well, he placed his right leg on the knee of his left leg and threw down a cold sentence.
That doesn't matter.
Cheng Yan looked at him in surprise and was stunned for a while.
unimportant?
Then...what matters?
Your Majesty said they are sinners, and they are, that is, both your Majesty’s will and the will of the ox of the sun. What do I need to explain to you?
Duke Galawa looked up slightly, raised his chin, looked at the Union Foreign Minister sitting opposite the conference table with his nostrils, and continued without hesitation.
This is our own business, it is not your business!
It's confirmed that this guy is not kidding, but that's what he really thinks.
Cheng Yan calmed down and glanced at the secretary who was doing the meeting minutes. Then he put down the pen in his hand and closed the notebook.
There is no need to do this anymore.
Seeing his actions, the other staff who took the meeting minutes were the same, and they closed the notes on the table.
It seems that not only they think, but even the Foreign Minister thinks it is a waste of time.
Galava frowned slightly, unable to make up for what these people meant, but felt that the situation was a little different from what he imagined.
Before getting up from the conference table, Cheng Yan cleared his throat, sat upright and asked again solemnly.
Then... Duke Galawa, I want to listen to your demands again.
Galava frowned.
...What demands?
Cheng Yan: About what you want us to do.
Galava said without hesitation.
Exit those sinners immediately!And apologize to the Xilan Empire in the newspaper!
He made some concessions.
It seems unrealistic to have the emperor of the alliance apologize to him, but it should be OK to apologize in the newspaper.
In his opinion, he had given enough steps.
Cheng Yan nodded to indicate that he heard it.
Seeing him nodding, Galawa showed a pleasant smile on her face and leaned back leisurely on the chair.
This way communication is much smoother, and we should have done this from the beginning.
Unexpectedly, the league is easier to talk than expected.
He just put pressure on a little tougher, and these guys surrendered.
It seems that he still looks up to these people, and he may be a little tougher next time.
I also think so. From the beginning, we should communicate in this easy-to-understand way. Looking at the proud Duke of Galawa expressionlessly, Cheng Yan said expressionlessly, so... what does this have to do with us?
The smile gradually solidified on his face, and Galava stared at him in a daze.
What did you say?
Looking at the Duke of Galawa who looked surprised, Cheng Yan stopped hesitating, got up from the conference table, and clamped the unmoved notebook under his elbow.
You said it's your own business, so let's stop meddling in other people's business.
So what does this have to do with us?
Galava: ???
What is this?
What does it have to do with you?
He opened his mouth and was about to scold him angrily, but he couldn't think of how to refute it for a while.
Ignoring the surprised expression on this guy's face, Cheng Yan walked out of the conference room without looking back.
Wait, wait a moment
The Duke of Galawa stood up and reached out to stop him, but no one paid attention to him.
Seeing that the Foreign Minister had left, everyone sitting at the conference table also stood up and left the conference room.
In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the huge room, standing at the conference table in a daze.
Looking at the shaking and half-open door, Galava retracted her trembling fist and roared angrily in the face of the empty conference room.
You... will regret it!
The roar echoed in the conference room, but no one paid attention to him or even heard him.
There was no need to find anything to fall on the table, so Prince Galaw punched the table hard, and kicked the legs of the table with the tip of his shoe in discomfort.
He endured the pain in his toes and chewed the anger into his stomach.
Wait.
This humiliation
He will return a hundred times!
……
After the meeting, Cheng Yan calmed down and then went to the manager's office, found Chu Guang and took the initiative to report his situation when he met with the ambassador of the Xilan Empire, and reviewed his mistakes in work.
... Sorry, Mr. Manager, I messed up this matter.
After reading the meeting minutes in his hand, Chu Guang didn't say anything after listening to his statement, but just gave a simple comment.
Don't blame yourself, you just did things within your responsibilities, at least in my opinion you didn't mess up anything.
What I had to say was not to pay attention to that guy from the beginning.
For example, he himself ignored the waste that was not nutritious when speaking at the symposium on the relevant agenda of the Mustard Community.
Originally thought he would be criticized by the manager, Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment.
But... you said that you should solve problems through communication as much as possible.
Chu Guang said patiently.
I did say so, so we will communicate with all living things that can understand human words, even if it is slime, but if we really don’t understand human words, we must change our way of communication.You have to be clear that not everyone can communicate.And this is their rejection of conversations with us, not your rejection of them.
Cheng Yan pondered for a long time after hearing this and said respectfully.
My subordinates understand!
Seeing that he seemed to really understand, Chu Guang nodded with approval.
He has heard of the situation in the Xilan Empire, but he doesn't take it too seriously.
Those people are essentially just followers of the Willant people. Like most survivors, they are not very eager to solve the threat of mutant slime mold, but they just hope to exchange benefits from the Alliance and other ancient survivor forces interested in slime mold for other areas.
This is actually nothing, after all, the conglomerate exists for this.
It is obvious that the Legion promised some benefits of the Xilan Empire, both military support and economic benefits.
So whether the alliance offends them or not, they will stand with the Legion.
Such a vassal who has already stood on the team has no value in winning over, and it doesn’t matter if the negotiations are not reached.
As for their so-called threat, Chu Guang didn't take it seriously.
Even the Legion did not dare to mention military threats, let alone these followers. He did not think that these guys really had the courage to take revenge into action.
No matter what form of revenge.
Putting the meeting minutes aside, Chu Guang continued to ask as he looked at Cheng Yan.
Is there anything else?
Cheng Yan nodded and said immediately.
There is one more thing you need to make a decision, and the Hump Kingdom has offered to hope that we can set up an embassy in Silver Moon Bay.
Chu Guang asked in confusion.
Didn’t we set up an embassy with them a long time ago?
Outside the alliance, the embassy is not only a dialogue channel for the alliance to communicate with other forces, but also a save point for players.
Especially for forces that have not set up military bases, the embassy is almost the only official save point except for the player's self-operated save point.
That's it, but the ambassador of the Camel Kingdom said...we are more active in Silver Moon Bay than in Camel City, and he hopes that we will at least set up a dispute resolution office for those who are the Union citizens.But I feel... the reason that really prompted them to make this appeal may be related to the recent military activities of the Xilan Empire in the Silver Moon Bay area.
Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang frowned and turned his eyes to the map hanging on the office wall.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke.
This can be arranged.
Ignoring the Haiya Province controlled by the Torch Church, Silver Moon Bay is the closest sea outlet to the Alliance, which is crucial in both strategic and economic significance.
Although the alliance does not directly control the port, its economic interests in the region are not weaker than those in the Lion Kingdom or the Honey Badger Kingdom.
In order to avoid some eyes-opening guys making small moves, it is better for him to make some statements appropriately.
yes.After guessing Chu Guang's meaning, Cheng Yan understood and called it, and took the order and turned around.
Watching the foreign minister leave, Chu Guang looked at the map hanging on the wall again.
I saw a railway line along the edge of the Dorbar Mountains, passing through the battlefield where the Skeleton Corps once fought, and reaching the Petra Fortress of the Throat of the Mountains.
Soon the railway will pass through there, into the rich Oasis 4 and the port of Silver Moon Bay, connecting with the maritime route to the Baiyue Strait.
At first, the Hump Kingdom was wary of the Union's railways, worried that the matter of Rock City would repeat itself in Oasis 4.
However, military pressure from the southwest has forced the nobles and merchants of the Hump Kingdom to move closer to the alliance and seek closer cooperation in exchange for security protection.
Chu Guang actually didn't hate this shit stick that stretched out from the southwest.
Although this shit-smuggling stick is annoying, it gives him more ridiculous and ridiculous compared to the actual harm, and it is even less than the group of mice in the north.
Besides, these guys have sent some gifts to the league.
And it is a visible gift...
This has been the case recently.
As representatives from enterprises, colleges and legions gathered in Shuguang City, more and more small and medium-sized settlements that smelled the opportunity to fetch the sheep sent envoys to the alliance.
Of course, there are people who come with sincerity, but there are many fake ones, and there are even plunderers who pretend to be normal settlements to come and fleece.
There was an example not long ago.
The survivor's settlement registered in the abandoned urban area two hundred kilometers away is actually a predator farm that sells humans and waists.
The merchants of Free State seized the many business opportunities of the envoys of Dawn City, bribed the supervisors of the Predator Farm, set up a disguised radio station for sending and receiving signals, packaged the settlement into a kind little white rabbit, and used this to deceive the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' signal positioning detection and callback verification and other procedures, and obtained the agency authorization of the base.
The businessman was gambling, and the betting alliance couldn't get enough energy to go to the site to confirm the survivors' settlement application one by one.
In this way, he can obtain diplomatic immunity in the alliance as a diplomat and seize benefits from the hands of various forces on behalf of a survivor community of thousands of people.
It has to be said that he accurately judged the work ability of the alliance's foreign affairs department.

The Deputy Foreign Minister nodded.

Cheng Yan coughed and continued to ask as he looked at his deputy.
Now the important thing is to solve the problem... Are they all the demands they have put forward?
The Deputy Foreign Minister hesitated for a moment, but said the truth.
They also need to summon administrators.
Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again uncertainly.
Summon??
Haven't these guys woke up?
The deputy foreign minister said with an unhappy look.
Yes... they think we are wrong first.

For the sake of the future of human civilization, he felt that he needed to talk to this ambassador who came from afar...
……
The next day, Cheng Yan summoned the Duke of Galawa and set the meeting place in the conference room No. 2 of the Union Building.
With a stern and elongated face, Duke Galawa walked into the conference hall.
He did not take his seat immediately, but looked around the circular conference table, but saw that the only one sitting in front of the conference table was the foreign minister, and the expression between his eyebrows was immediately filled with a hint of arrogance and slackness.

I also think so. From the beginning, we should communicate in this easy-to-understand way. Looking at the proud Duke of Galawa expressionlessly, Cheng Yan said expressionlessly, so... what does this have to do with us?
The smile gradually solidified on his face, and Galava stared at him in a daze.
What did you say?
Looking at the Duke of Galawa who looked surprised, Cheng Yan stopped hesitating, got up from the conference table, and clamped the unmoved notebook under his elbow.
You said it's your own business, so let's stop meddling in other people's business.
So what does this have to do with us?
Galava: ???
What is this?
What does it have to do with you?
He opened his mouth and was about to scold him angrily, but he couldn't think of how to refute it for a while.
Ignoring the surprised expression on this guy's face, Cheng Yan walked out of the conference room without looking back.
Wait, wait a moment
The Duke of Galawa stood up and reached out to stop him, but no one paid attention to him.
Seeing that the Foreign Minister had left, everyone sitting at the conference table also stood up and left the conference room.
In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the huge room, standing at the conference table in a daze.
Looking at the shaking and half-open door, Galava retracted her trembling fist and roared angrily in the face of the empty conference room.
You... will regret it!
The roar echoed in the conference room, but no one paid attention to him or even heard him.
There was no need to find anything to fall on the table, so Prince Galaw punched the table hard, and kicked the legs of the table with the tip of his shoe in discomfort.
He endured the pain in his toes and chewed the anger into his stomach.
Wait.
This humiliation
He will return a hundred times!
……
After the meeting, Cheng Yan calmed down and then went to the manager's office, found Chu Guang and took the initiative to report his situation when he met with the ambassador of the Xilan Empire, and reviewed his mistakes in work.
... Sorry, Mr. Manager, I messed up this matter.
After reading the meeting minutes in his hand, Chu Guang didn't say anything after listening to his statement, but just gave a simple comment.
Don't blame yourself, you just did things within your responsibilities, at least in my opinion you didn't mess up anything.
What I had to say was not to pay attention to that guy from the beginning.
For example, he himself ignored the waste that was not nutritious when speaking at the symposium on the relevant agenda of the Mustard Community.
Originally thought he would be criticized by the manager, Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment.
But... you said that you should solve problems through communication as much as possible.
Chu Guang said patiently.
I did say so, so we will communicate with all living things that can understand human words, even if it is slime, but if we really don’t understand human words, we must change our way of communication.You have to be clear that not everyone can communicate.And this is their rejection of conversations with us, not your rejection of them.
Cheng Yan pondered for a long time after hearing this and said respectfully.
My subordinates understand!
Seeing that he seemed to really understand, Chu Guang nodded with approval.
He has heard of the situation in the Xilan Empire, but he doesn't take it too seriously.
Those people are essentially just followers of the Willant people. Like most survivors, they are not very eager to solve the threat of mutant slime mold, but they just hope to exchange benefits from the Alliance and other ancient survivor forces interested in slime mold for other areas.
This is actually nothing, after all, the conglomerate exists for this.
It is obvious that the Legion promised some benefits of the Xilan Empire, both military support and economic benefits.
So whether the alliance offends them or not, they will stand with the Legion.
Such a vassal who has already stood on the team has no value in winning over, and it doesn’t matter if the negotiations are not reached.
As for their so-called threat, Chu Guang didn't take it seriously.
Even the Legion did not dare to mention military threats, let alone these followers. He did not think that these guys really had the courage to take revenge into action.
No matter what form of revenge.
Putting the meeting minutes aside, Chu Guang continued to ask as he looked at Cheng Yan.
Is there anything else?
Cheng Yan nodded and said immediately.
There is one more thing you need to make a decision, and the Hump Kingdom has offered to hope that we can set up an embassy in Silver Moon Bay.
Chu Guang asked in confusion.
Didn’t we set up an embassy with them a long time ago?
Outside the alliance, the embassy is not only a dialogue channel for the alliance to communicate with other forces, but also a save point for players.
Especially for forces that have not set up military bases, the embassy is almost the only official save point except for the player's self-operated save point.
That's it, but the ambassador of the Camel Kingdom said...we are more active in Silver Moon Bay than in Camel City, and he hopes that we will at least set up a dispute resolution office for those who are the Union citizens.But I feel... the reason that really prompted them to make this appeal may be related to the recent military activities of the Xilan Empire in the Silver Moon Bay area.
Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang frowned and turned his eyes to the map hanging on the office wall.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke.
This can be arranged.
Ignoring the Haiya Province controlled by the Torch Church, Silver Moon Bay is the closest sea outlet to the Alliance, which is crucial in both strategic and economic significance.
Although the alliance does not directly control the port, its economic interests in the region are not weaker than those in the Lion Kingdom or the Honey Badger Kingdom.
In order to avoid some eyes-opening guys making small moves, it is better for him to make some statements appropriately.
yes.After guessing Chu Guang's meaning, Cheng Yan understood and called it, and took the order and turned around.
Watching the foreign minister leave, Chu Guang looked at the map hanging on the wall again.
I saw a railway line along the edge of the Dorbar Mountains, passing through the battlefield where the Skeleton Corps once fought, and reaching the Petra Fortress of the Throat of the Mountains.
Soon the railway will pass through there, into the rich Oasis 4 and the port of Silver Moon Bay, connecting with the maritime route to the Baiyue Strait.
At first, the Hump Kingdom was wary of the Union's railways, worried that the matter of Rock City would repeat itself in Oasis 4.
However, military pressure from the southwest has forced the nobles and merchants of the Hump Kingdom to move closer to the alliance and seek closer cooperation in exchange for security protection.
Chu Guang actually didn't hate this shit stick that stretched out from the southwest.
Although this shit-smuggling stick is annoying, it gives him more ridiculous and ridiculous compared to the actual harm, and it is even less than the group of mice in the north.
Besides, these guys have sent some gifts to the league.
And it is a visible gift...
