Chapter 439
10,000 kilofeet, the land-based unit of measurement of Shrimp World No . 2 was equivalent to about 1000 kilometers on Earth . In the Hellfire Archipelago that was teeming with danger, sailing such a long-distance voyage with the help of just a simple nautical chart was definitely not a 'trivial matter' to any veteran navigator .
However, at this moment, amidst the face of the powerful Wizard Li Tribal Conqueror, the old navigators did not have any qualifications to bargain at all . When the airships took them to fly slowly along the air over the Wizard Li ancestral ground to look at the sea chart, the other family members and the sailors on the merchant ships had also been taken away from the harbor . After that, Zhang Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief and voiced out his innermost feelings . "Tugra, it's kind of impossible for all of these people to succeed . However, if seven senior navigators are trying their best to develop the sea routes, there will be at least two to three that will succeed judging from the probability of success . Even though the area of several islands closest to us are only one-third than that of Wizard Li Island, they are all adjacent to more than ten small and medium-sized islands that are about the same size . It's an easy matter to conquer one of them as a frontier base for us to spread our force out from there and at the very least, we don't have to worry about sailing . By the time we have finished conquering all of the islands, the tribal strength can increase by at least seven to eight times . That time, even if we suffer from any great loss when we continue to explore new routes, Wizard Li will still be able to afford it . For this reason, these navigators are our key to open up the door to glory safely and even if anything happens to them, we must take care of their family members well, understood?"
"Yes, Great Conqueror! The family members of these navigators will become the masters of the new town . I'll never let any Wizard Li tribesman offend their dignity, wealth and rights!" the Wizard Li headman answered respectfully .
"Very good! This mainlander town must be perfect in all aspects! In that way, when Wizard Li spreads out to the mainland after being finished with conquering the entire Hellfire sea region, it'll play a very large "catalytic" role . However, we can never let those old and cunning fellows, who have gone through many things before, know about this . Otherwise, they may choose to sacrifice their lives during sailing and purposely lead our iron ships to disaster . The hatred between civilization and race is sometimes irrational, blatantly bathed in each other's flesh and blood," Zhang Lisheng added .
"Your wisdom is amazing, Great Conqueror!" Tugra agreed and buried his head in the ground .
"Tugra, the fact that you can find so many good 'words' from the limited praise vocabulary of the Hellfire language to sing to me is more amazing! The route exploring will take quite some time and adding onto the preparatory work needed in the early stage, it'd take at least 30 to 40 days for us to get results . I don't have the patience to wait for so many days," Zhang Lisheng joked with the Wizard Li headman and after doing some calculations, he shifted his gaze to the Wizard Li chief craftsman . "Aruba, continue to forge more iron steamships during this period of time . This kind of maritime weapon is indispensable in the battle between islands, you know that?"
As the young man was speaking, his mouth began to crack open and his ears began to elongate while a faint layer of mist gathered around him . Seeing that the tribal Conqueror was about to rise into the air, Aruba quickly answered, "I understand, Great Conqueror! I'll definitely build more iron ships for the tribe! However, I've discovered many powerful war machines from the mainlander ships that you've captured some time ago so I hope you can allow me to separate a small area of furnaces for me to research and imitate these weapons . "
"Powerful weapons? The mainlanders did not use any weapons that are worth mentioning at all when I transformed into the Eye Beast King . But well, you are free to do whatever research you like as long as it doesn't hold up the serious matters . Go and do as you like . Tugra, don't forget to urge the navigators to start as soon as possible! Charlot, who looks the thinnest among them, can be the bridge of your communication . I'll come back when the weather gets warmer so let the Wizard Li warriors prepare for war . I have a premonition that this long-awaited 'conquest' would be a fierce one!" After finishing his words, Zhang Lisheng, who had already been tightly wrapped in thick fog, rose to the sky under the worship of countless Hellfire tribesmen, and flew to the world gate connecting Shrimp World No . 2 and Earth .
40 minutes after he crossed the fence between the ocean and the 'world', the young man silently landed on the roof of his office building on the outskirts of New York amidst the cold and strong winter wind . After transforming his wizard power from wyrmdragon to lizard, he nihilated his body and landed in his spacious office .
Routinely taking a hot bath and changing into a new set of clean clothes, Zhang Lisheng looked at the weather that had already turned into a rainstorm outside the window . He walked towards the refrigerator and took a can of iced Coke . He opened it and walked to his desk, before pulling out his mobile phone that was always on alert from the drawer .
There were more than 100 messages and missed calls . The young man swiped the screen to have a look and dialed his mother's number first . His first sentence when the phone connected was an apology, "Mom, I'm sorry . I have been so busy in the foreign world and there's no way for me to make contact with Earth . It was my fault for not going back, nor sending a handwritten card, or making any call during Christmas and New Year…"
"It's fine, baby . It's nothing . Since three years ago, I already knew that I have a son who was unlike others and I have already been prepared for this day," Lili's voice resonated gently from the phone . "I only wish that you take care of your health no matter how busy you are . There are other things more important than work in our lives as well, like resting, exercising…"
Listening to his mother's usual nagging, Zhang Lisheng constantly replied 'uh huh' but was already turning his computer on . At the same time when the system was activated and flashed on the screen, he suddenly heard Lili change the topic of the conversation . "Where are you right now, baby?"
"The factory office on the outskirts of New York . What's the matter, mom?"
"I do have something to talk to you in person," Lily answered after a moment of silence .
