Chapter 3017: Strange Movement
"Haha, Master Demien, you are joking." Locke smiled.
Locke himself did not have much business acumen, but he lived for more than 10,000 years, and his long life experience alone was enough for Locke to benefit from.
Continuously borrowing from others and always keeping your money in a liquid state was taught to Locke by the late Billie.
After so many years of practical development, Locke still doesn't know its magical effect.
Take Locke's loan of more than 200 million magic coins to Capecchi as an example. Some people may think that Locke owes Capecchi more than 200 million.
But from another perspective, it was actually Locke who gained an extra 200 million out of thin air!
And this long-term and frequent business cooperation has also made the relationship between the Western Islands represented by Locke and Capecchi even closer.
Not long ago, Locke also applied for a batch of various amounts for his wife Kayla's Holy Tower of Light, Angelina's Holy Tower of Stars, Joakim's Holy Tower of Blood and Christine's Knights Hall. Low interest loans etc.
The lender is naturally Capecchi, the largest business organization in the wizarding world.
After greeting Master Demien, Locke sent the fourth-level magician to the port before leaving.
This is Locke's way of life. He will not change his attitude towards some of his old friends just because of his rapid improvement in life level and status.
A sixth-level knight sent him off, which made Demien, who was only a fourth-level magician, smile even more.
What Locke doesn't know yet is that because of his courtesy, the loans that Business Alliance Capecchi promised to organizations such as Yaoguang Holy Tower and Starry Star Tower will be received earlier than expected.
...
Seven years later.
There are only four years left before the official invasion of the Water World, and several forces in the Wizarding World, including the Western Islands led by Locke, have already gathered heavy troops in the depths of the East China Sea. (first published by Zongheng)
Not to mention the tens of millions of legions that the Sea Clan prepared for this initial stage, together with several other large forces, there are almost tens of millions of cannon fodder troops of knights, magicians, and slave creatures.
Locke mobilized a total of 500,000 knights, 100,000 magicians, and 2 million slave creatures of different types for this plane war.
With the current war potential of the Western Islands, it would not be a problem to double the recruitment of knights and magicians above the first level. But plane war is not a play, it is not a child's play where you mobilize all your forces and push it over in one wave.
In addition to completing the invasion, conquest and carving up of that medium-sized water world, Locke must also consider how many knights and magicians should be left to guard the home, and he must also consider being ready to pull in the second phase of the invasion army at any time.
And as an emerging large-scale power organization in the wizarding world, although Locke has personally dominated the limelight in the wizarding world in recent years, it is better for the forces under his command to keep a low profile.
For this kind of medium-sized world with unknown strength, it is best not to underestimate or despise it.
If there is any trouble, members of the Beren Empire and other large established forces will naturally be responsible.
Locke called Master Sarafa to act together this time, just to fight some smooth battles and make some profit along the way.
Panama, Zekere and others were conquered by Locke's force and strength, but forming a large force does not mean that your fists are strong enough.
You also have to bring your vassals and younger brothers with you to eat meat and drink soup.
This invasion of the water world is when Locke shows his results to his 'little brothers'.
Only by being different from the previous speed of development and foundation accumulation can Locke convince people like Panama.
Even for a large and established force like the Beren Empire, there are so many knights and magicians above level four who are willing to work with him even if Emperor Saphiel raises his hand.
Without enough profit motivation, who would be willing to follow you?
Of course, the charisma of one of the leaders will also play a crucial role.
...
"Brother, why do we have to wait until four years to attack? We are obviously fully prepared." In the magic crystal ball, Christine's image came.
It can be observed through the elemental image that behind Christine is a blue sea.
Yes, Christine has gone to the depths of the East China Sea.
Also arriving with them were Keira, Angelina, Michelle, Panama, Zekere, Brand and other Western Islands strongmen, as well as the nearly 1.5 million Western Islands troops they led.
Qiao Jin, Vivien Leigh, Klopp, Agus, Eugen and other strong men from the Western Islands will arrive in two years' time with the remaining army of more than one million people. As for Locke, his journey to the depths of the East China Sea will be even later.
He might even be unable to participate in the invasion of that medium-sized water world immediately.
This is not a strange statement about the top players always appearing last.
It's just that Locke happened to be caught up in other things at this time.
There are two things in total, and both of them have a lot to do with Locke.
First, there was news from the Immortal Realm. Soon after, the Third Prince Nezha will lead a group of monks from the Immortal Realm to the Wizarding World.
It's not just like the last time Princess Iron Fan came to visit the mountains and rivers. Nezha's visit to the wizarding world has a part of the meaning of a visit, and there is the shadow of a saint-level existence behind it.
As for why Nezha was sent here, on the one hand, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun tried his best to win over him in front of several other immortal saints, and on the other hand, Nezha was indeed one of the powerful immortals who had the most contact with the wizarding world.
Nezha
If he is coming, Locke, as a friend, will naturally be prepared to welcome him.
Including the purpose of Nezha and the fairyland civilization behind it, Locke and other sixth-level powerhouses in the wizarding world also need to treat it with caution.
Another thing is that there seems to be some changes in the Gallente Federation.
The news came from the Alibaba Chamber of Commerce.
Reminiscent of the fact that Beif and other Wizards Union envoys failed to contact the wizarding world on time a year ago, Locke, a father, could not help but worry about this.
Looking at the impatient Christine in the crystal ball, Locke said, "The specific attack date is determined by the Guardian of the Sun and Moon, which involves the surge cycle of the elemental tide in our wizarding world."
"When the war officially starts, don't be too impatient and listen to Keira and Michelle's opinions."
"This time, the legion of the Mamet United Alliance will operate together with our legion in the Western Islands. If I fail to arrive in time, you will first listen to the command of Master Sarafa." Locke warned.
"I know, I know, brother, you have to come over quickly!" Christine replied.
