Although that was his plan, Lucat also understood that once he was involved, it would not be easy to walk away unscathed.
The Sasiri Kingdom, as the leader of the alliance, has come here with the intention of seizing Dagan and making it their third overseas colony.
—The continent of Feni, as the second colony, had already been occupied by various nations more than a decade ago. Among them, the Antoias region belonged to the Kingdom of Saris, which was the most fertile land on the continent of Feni. As the most powerful nation on the continent of Leon, the Kingdom of Saris naturally wanted to occupy the best place.
The Antoias region boasts both lush rainforests and low-lying plains, with the Crimson Gold River running almost the entire length of the area. As for underground, it was said several years ago that the people of the Sari Kingdom had discovered an underground river, and mining had already begun more than a decade ago. Thanks to its ownership of this resource-rich region, the Sari Kingdom has grown increasingly powerful in recent years.
The original inhabitants of the Antonias region were a group of Ninos. These foolish people controlled the fertile land, but they did not develop and use it in a more effective way. They lived in large and small tribes and fought against each other. They never united and were therefore powerless to defend the land.
Lucart had never been to the continent of Feni, but his second-in-command Leto had been there a few years ago. Leto said that the land there was so fertile that if you sowed a seed, it would bloom and bear fruit on its own, and it didn't even need much human care. It was precisely for this reason that the natives were particularly lacking in the skill of planting, and they relied more on hunting for a living.
Of course, hunting was not difficult. The land was fertile, so there were many animals. The Nino people could survive without much effort, so the number of indigenous people in that area was indeed quite large.
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Because they live in an extremely favorable place, they do not need to spend more time and energy on construction, which seriously hinders their development. Furthermore, their individualistic mentality prevents them from ever uniting together.
Augustus's calling them "savages" was not without reason.
The rule over the continent of Feni has lasted for more than a decade, with various countries participating. Thanks to its abundant resources and the large number of natives used as laborers, the continent of Feni has undoubtedly provided rich sustenance to all the countries.
Therefore, the exploration of the other continents in the world is particularly important. Whoever finds them first will gain more and have greater influence, which means a further enhancement of national strength.
However, such exploration and occupation are not always smooth sailing. At least a few years ago, the ocean fleet sent by the Kingdom of Sassa suffered a heavy price after accidentally arriving on the continent of Liga.
The overlord of the continent of Liga is the Kingdom of Taqi. This country, which has only recently come into the view of other nations, possesses extremely formidable military strength. Ever since the failure of that exploration mission, the people of the continent of Leon are now somewhat apprehensive at the mere mention of the name "Kingdom of Taqi".
While the states were indeed conquerors, there were also differences in rank among the conquerors.
Just like now.
Based on intuition and some speculation, Lucat felt that this should be a major operation by the "conquered," but it seems that this is not the case at present.
That is why he had to be extremely careful.
Thanks to years of war, the Delta Federation is rapidly rising and may very well be able to stand on equal footing with the Sasiri Kingdom in the near future. And it is precisely because they have fought so many wars that they undoubtedly possess formidable military strength and rich war experience, which is why they can speak of conquering this unfamiliar country without any hesitation.
The same applies to the Kingdom of Sa Ri. As a nation whose position has been stable for many years and which is still gradually expanding its power, it must have the confidence to declare war on any country.
However, the situation is different for the Kingdom of Shenglu. Not to mention that it cannot be compared with these two countries, even compared with the Kingdom of Hunli, which has a similar national strength and borders it, its military strength is weaker.
At this point, one must not rush forward rashly. A hegemonic nation can withstand the loss of one or even several wars, while one's own nation, although it can also bear some war losses, is ultimately not worth it.
Of course, the main reason is that Lucat didn't want to die in confusion on this journey.
There are many people who fight for their country and put the interests of their nation first; they may be willing to sacrifice everything for their country. But for Lucat, the interests of the nation are by no means the top priority.
Lukat's father wielded immense power in the Kingdom of Shenglu, and his achievements were countless, all earned through his genuine talent and hard work in numerous wars. It was for this reason that Emperor Figus valued him highly, which naturally brought blessings to his descendants.
Born into a noble and wealthy family, Lucat enjoyed a life of luxury from the moment he was born. As for status and position, they were readily available to him, a status that others would strive for their entire lives but could not attain.
In such circumstances, life naturally becomes invaluable.
'Could I risk my life and die unknowingly in this foreign land? Others might, but me? Absolutely not!'
Luca turned his face away, not wanting to see Müller's excited expression any longer. He raised his hand and called over his deputy, Leto, and whispered:
"The situation has turned against us. Da Gan is not as weak as we thought. They are already on high alert and are not afraid of our fleet."
"Based on the above considerations, the costs and rewards we need to pay in this military operation are absolutely not equal."
Leto's face stiffened; he was surprised that Lucate would say such a thing.
