Sitting on the throne, Leo listened to Edlaide's plan for dealing with the affairs of the kingdom of Alathu, but his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

It's been more than half a month since he returned to Riptide Castle from Thunder Bluff, and a few days before Pasonia sent him a message that Varian had successfully crossed the Dust Swamp into the Kingdom of Theramore and met with Gianna. As Leo expected, Gianna said that Theramore would fully support Varian and allow him to return to Stormwind to stabilize the situation.

Once Varian returns to the center of power in the Stormwind Kingdom, a battle over the entire Terran situation will begin.

In order to go to Stormwind, Leo is preparing to take care of the affairs of the Arathor Kingdom before the battle in Stormwind begins.

I don't know if God deliberately went against him, but at this time, a big event happened, that is, the Riptide Fort Navy led by Binder officially fought with the Bloodsail Pirates. Bindel finally reached Treasure Bay after a stop on his journey to explore the sea routes, and the commander of Fort Riptide and his army had only taken a break to fight the Bloodsail Pirates.

Originally, this did not hinder it, and Leo gave Bindel an order to fight the Bloodsail Pirates, but the situation got out of control during the battle. Binder is a Kurtiras sailor from the Dai Lin line, and has an old grudge against the Bloodsail Pirates, and the Riptide Castle sailors were originally newcomers, although they have improved a lot after a lot of training along the way, but how can they compare to the Bloodsail Pirates who can compete with the Kurtilas sails? Several successive battles were defeated by the other side, and if Binder had not retreated to the harbor in time, relying on the port's defenses to resist the enemy's attack, the naval army of Fort Rapids would have suffered heavy losses.

After receiving the report that Binder had been beaten by the Bloodsail Pirates and could only retreat to the harbor for defense, some people took action, and the admirals of the Kingdom of Theramore, who had not returned to Gianna, actually quietly came to the Treasure Bay through the teleportation array with their loyal soldiers to join the battle, and they entered the chaos.

Bringing the disgruntled Kurtilas navy army in Theramore into his command through the naval battle of Treasure Bay was originally a plan that Leo had already arranged, after all, the Bloodsail Pirates who were also from Kurtiras had a vendetta with them, and they could not watch the pirates show off their might in front of the army led by Bindel.

Leo's previous plan was a success, and many of the elite sailors in Serramo were attracted to it, joining Bindel's fleet to fight the Bloodsail Pirates in Booty Bay, and at the same time acquiescing to the fact that they were the Riptide Mariners.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, and there was such a thing as Varian, and Leo was in trouble.

As the saying goes, if the skin does not have hair, it will be attached, as the largest force of the human race, the Storm Kingdom cannot have a major turmoil, at least not at this time, otherwise the power of the human race will plummet, whether it is Riptide Castle or Theramore, it will be greatly affected, this impact is extremely bad, and it is likely to make Riptide Castle face a big crisis.

As the two forces that support Varian, Fort Riptide and Theramore cannot clash at this time, but the elite of Theramore's navy Hula suddenly jumped nearly a third to Fort Riptide, and the possibility of the two not clashing is very small.

"Edlaide, Sinestella is a good man in government, what do you have to discuss with her?"

Leo pushed Sinaisaraya out, the Black Dragon Queen was once in charge of the Black Dragon Clan, she was indeed an expert under the Emperor, and the internal affairs of the Terran Kingdom may be different, but it is not difficult for her at all.

Edlaide did not object to Leo's words, in fact, he also knew that the future prince of the kingdom was not interested in the complicated affairs of government, and that matters related to this were handled by the woman named Sinestra, who was suspected of being of Leo's kindred. Edlaide was impressed by her political skill and swift handling of government affairs, and Leo was only giving a definite name to the facts that already existed.

"Wait a minute, in the name of Her Majesty, to send a letter to Gianna of Theramore, telling her that there is a priority, and that the overall situation should be the most important thing at this time."

Leo's order made Edlaide cry and laugh, Fort Riptide pried the corner of Theramore and poached nearly a third of its elite sailors, and now Leo actually wants Gianna to focus on the overall situation, isn't this Hongguoguo's bully?

But then again, judging from Gianna's usual behavior, it is really possible that she will put this matter down for the time being, because helping Varian stabilize the situation in the Stormwind Kingdom and keep the Terran's strength from declining is much more important than the part of the navy that didn't care about her in the first place.

Digging up other people's elite sailors and asking others to focus on the overall situation, this cheeky is really thick-skinned, this approach is really shameless enough, but the benefit is Riptide Castle, so why not be thick-faced and black-hearted once? With that in mind, Edlaide nodded in agreement.

"Has the plan for the kingdom's sea trade rights been prepared?"

Leo then threw out a new question, Edlaide was a little puzzled in this matter, the kingdom of Alaso is now in ruins and needs to carry out large trade, especially by sea, why do you have to make a plan to restrict trade, isn't this adding to your own blockage?

Despite his doubts, Edlaide organized a plan after Leo explained the matter, and out of trust in Leo, no one in the entire Riptide Castle questioned his order, or rather, no one dared to question his order before the problem arose under the authority of Leo's presence.

"The plan has been prepared, it's just ......"

Edlaide hesitated, he wanted to ask Leo what he was doing, but Leo didn't mean it.

"Now that it's ready, give it to Sinestella to see, and if there is no problem, let Verry take this plan to negotiate with Gary Vickers, I believe that it is impossible for the Rusty Water Chaebol to refuse."

The so-called maritime trade restrictions are actually the idea that Leo came up with from the world before he traveled, and it is absolutely impossible to impress the mercenary Garry Vix without taking out a heavyweight bait, although the character of this goblin trade prince is really scummy, but how can he be a little brainless if he can sit in his position?

Leo's restriction on maritime trade is to put it bluntly, to sign an exclusive agreement with the Rusty Water Chaebol to let the Rusty Water Chaebol do their own business, and once this agreement is signed, Fort Riptide will only accept the Rusty Water Chaebol's trading ships.

What business is the most profitable in the world?

Monopoly, only monopoly!

Although Leo did not restrict trade by land, shipping was the main source of trade, and the wealth that could be earned by monopolizing this was enough to impress Gary Vickers, so that the goblins could really help Leo didn't cheat too much this time.

It's not too tricky?

Well, in fact this is also in the pit of people.

The agreement states that Riptide Castle does not accept trade ships other than the Rusty Water Plutocracy, and that it is not subject to this restriction by land, but it does not say that the ports of the entire Kingdom of Arathso are not allowed to enter by trade ships of other powers - in fact, this is not possible. As long as Leo wanted to, he could turn Fadil Bay, not far from Riptide Castle, into a port, and the distance between the two would not take much time for the ships of other forces to unload their cargo there, even if it would take much overland.

This deal is not as rosy as Leo describes for them.

Garivix of Fadil Bay, which had been deliberately abandoned, might not have remembered, and even if he could, he would not have refused to dominate such a big piece of the sea trade as Fort Rapids, knowing that this trade prince was known for his crazy wealth.

If that doesn't make Gary Vix decide, then Leo will contact Silvermoon City to get the Blood Elves on his side and drag the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas in. In this way, in the face of such a great temptation to dominate the sea trade of the two rebuilding kingdoms, it is strange that Garry Vix can hold on.

The blood elves who are trying to recreate the former glory of the Kingdom of Quel'Salas have a much larger trade volume than the Riptide Castle, and the exquisite enchanted equipment and magic gems made by the blood elves are all sought-after goods, if they can dominate the sea trade, Garry Vix's wealth can rise by at least thirty percent, as a trade prince, he can't refuse, because if he doesn't do this, someone else will do it, such as the Blackwater chaebol.

I've already sprinkled the bait, Gary Vickers is a fish he has to swallow, the rusty water chaebol is not the same as the quietly developing blackwater chaebol, as long as he can make a lot of money, he will not care about whether it will expose the goblin clan to have a strong war potential.

Thinking about the war potential of the goblins who can stand side by side with the gnomes in engineering, Leo feels that he can relax a little, and the battle situation of the rusty water chaebol chaotic into the plague land has become a new force to contain the Scourge Legion, whether it is the Alliance or the Horde, they can get a respite, and everyone can solve the problems of the subqui empire beetle people of Silisus before dealing with the Scourge Legion.

"Good news, Lord Leo!"

Verry suddenly walked into the council hall with a happy face, and saw that his personal guard captain Leo's heart moved, could it be that Scarlett was out of the customs?

"Her Majesty has been promoted to Epic, and she asked me to report to you, and I will come when she is freshened."

Viri's next words confirmed Leo's suspicions, and sure enough, it was about Scarlett, and the female knight who had been in retreat for a long time in order to break through the barrier between the legendary and the epic finally appeared, and she had successfully promoted to the powerhouse of the epic rank.

This chick really succeeded, but when it came to freshening up...... Leo scratched his head a little, he didn't know how long he would have to wait, it was said that it took a lot of time for women to do this kind of thing.

"Great, Her Majesty has successfully promoted to an epic powerhouse, she can master the power of the Judgment Armor and the Sword of Ashkandi, and now the sub-family will soon regain its former glory."

Edlaide laughed happily, in stark contrast to Leo's head-scratching.
