Volume 6 Chapter 145 - Lost Vivian (1/2)

After a bit of silence, Xu Yi put a question mark on the Marlow Empire on the map before shifting his eyes down. He went to the giant white patch on the map for the southern seas and slightly knitted his brows.

His love for maps was a personal hobby, while also being a practical need.

He had relied on this large map of the Sines Continent that had been on the wall for many years. Xu Yi used it to chart out the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s development on the continent, then using it to make the best judgement for the future, so it could be said that it was very helpful for him.

However, even if this map was the most accurate map on the Sines Continent, it was still far from being accurate enough.

For example, the biggest island that was supposed to signify the Giant Deer Island in the southern seas of the Rudson Kingdom, it was only a very small mark on the map and nothing else.

Moreover, according to Xu Yi’s experience in riding a Magic Airship to Giant Deer Island and back several times, the position recorded on the map was at least a hundred kilometers away from where it really was, which was a large difference.

“If the conditions are right, I have to have someone draw a more accurate map.”

Xu Yi muttered under his breath. He went to the upper right a bit where the real position of Giant Deer Island was, getting as close as possible before making a red mark on the map. Then he drew a broken line to connect it to the one that he had made before, which represented the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s marine transport route.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi created another broken line around this island before drawing another one around that line.

These two broken lines represented the sphere of influence of the military base that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had set up on Giant Deer Island.

This sphere wasn’t that big right now and it only spread at most five hundred meters, not even going far enough to affect the Candra Empire’s southern seas.

This was because there were only two fully equipped guard fleets that were deployed right now. Although these guard fleets were powerful, the scale of the base was limited and it couldn’t support the guard fleets in launching further strikes.

After drawing in the sphere of influence, Xu Yi looked to the right to the right, going three hundred kilometers to the south of the Candra Empire’s shore.

According to the reports, there was another island here with rich resources and was one third bigger than Giant Deer Island.

This island was around seven to eight hundred kilometers away from Giant Deer Island. If the guard fleets set out from Giant Deer Island, they could arrive in a single day. This was the island that Xu Yi had chosen for the second base.

Xu Yi made a small dot at the position of this island and then drew a line to the marine transport route that was two hundred kilometers away. After thinking about it, he shook his head.

The reason why he picked this second island that was this far away from the Candra Empire’s coast was mainly because of the attitude of the Candra Empire.

It wasn’t that he was afraid that the Candra Empire navy would pose a threat, but because Xu Yi didn’t want to destroy the good relationship that was developing between them right now.

Moreover, about five hundred kilometers southwest of this island was Heaven Island that Leslie controlled.

After he finished these two sea bases, it would create a triangle with Heaven Island.

Once one place had a problem, the other two places could easily react.

Hidden in Xu Yi’s heart was another idea. It was that if anything happened to Leslie, causing him to lose control of Heaven Island, the two sea bases could quickly react.

After he made some plans for the second sea base, Xu Yi didn’t move his eyes further to the east.

He had to eat one thing at a time and do things one at a time.

With the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s current strength, building two sea bases and maintaining them already took a lot of effort.

There was no way to consider building even more bases right now.

“Du, du, du, du.”

When Xu Yi was about to come up with his next steps with the map, there was a gentle knock on the door of the study.

Hearing this strange sounding knock, Xu Yi turned over with pleasant surprise and saw Still standing at the door with a smile.

“Hey, Still, didn’t you receive an invitation from the Marlow Empire when I left? Why are you back today?” Xu Yi asked in a surprised voice.

Still looked at Xu Yi with a charming look and said with a faint smile, “I heard that you were back today, so I rushed over from the Marlow Empire.”
