When he arrived at the Sun King's palace, he sat in front of the map and was indeed worried.
Seeing Sean come in, he hurriedly stood up.
"Sean... why are you here?" I noticed the toilet paper in his hand.
"What's going on?"
"Not much, but I saw Lord Lubin on the way here, and he told me about the south... The Desert Gold Group appeared again? Uncle." Sean looked at the huge map on the table.
It shows the locations of almost all the desert countries.
After a few seconds of focused observation, cities, mountains, and rivers gradually appeared on the map. Even the southernmost ocean appeared at the same time.
"Yes, they appear here!"
Pointing to a city at the bottom of the map, there was an oasis under the yellow sand plain projected in Sean's vision. There was a river passing near the sea, and there was a small city in a delta-like place.
"On the sea?"
"It's just close to the sea, but that area is close too. Some of the Golden Group are pirates. Because they have too many enemies on the mainland, they dare not travel in the desert countries, so they can only live on the sea." said the Sun King.
"This is the one being harassed by the Golden Company."
"Isn't it an attack?" Sean asked.
"Unless their employer offers a huge price to destroy an entire city, the Golden Company won't actually kill the desert kingdoms."
Looking at the Sun King, he seemed to know a lot about the Desert Golden Group.
"The Desert Golden Group, this organization has existed for a very long time... They were mercenaries who gathered together and later grew into a large group. However, on ordinary days, many of their members are ordinary citizens, even living among the people. They only put on the golden masks when they are summoned."
He is still an ordinary resident!
Only then did Sean remember that it was no wonder that they were wearing masks when they first saw the Golden Group. The winters in the Adak region were hot, and the summers were even more unbearable.
Who would fight with a mask on if they didn't want to be discovered?
Not only does the vision get affected, but it also makes you feel uncomfortable...
"That's why they won't kill a city unless someone can afford a price higher than that of the city," said the Sun King.
Scientific pig farming is amazing.
They are worthy of being members of the Golden Group. If Sean was not a noble, he would have wanted to join them. On weekdays, they would put on masks and rob neighbors when they saw them. No wonder they said that the Golden Group is difficult to destroy.
Even if we can wipe out a group of people, others will still stand up. This organization will always exist until the extinction of mankind!
Otherwise, there will be people everywhere who are dissatisfied and seeking revenge against society.
"Come and take a look, Sean. Do you think we should send someone over?" The Sun King asked Sean for his opinion.
Normally, the other party would rarely ask for his opinion, because Sean was not very familiar to Adak. He would not recognize any place he pointed to on the map, so how could he have any opinion?
But Sean came to see me today because of something, so this hurdle... was unavoidable.
Looking at the cities persecuted by the Golden Group on the map.
You can see a projected model of the city in your field of vision, which is about the size of a thumb.
Once the map displays a large area, the miniature you can see will be very small... For example, on a city sand table, you can of course see every house and people, but on a large map, an area the size of a thumb is a city, and it is impossible to see the people inside.
Even an army of tens of thousands of people would appear as just a tiny black dot under this kind of map projection.
That has to be in an open area. If it's in the forest or mountains, you can't see it at all...and the Adak area is full of deserts, so you can barely see some small black spots in the desert you're walking through.
I guess the main force is coming back.
"How long will it take for our troops to return?"
"I heard from Melsusa that it will only take two or three days," said the Sun King.
"Maybe it will be slower..."
"Huh? How did you know?"
"My guess is that they must have been delayed in Basaran for a few days to resupply or in the desert. It should be a few days later than expected. The troops need to rest after returning. Although we can send another team there immediately, a lot of supplies will be wasted in the process." Sean said.
"So you're suggesting sending troops?"
"Of course not... If we don't help, the Desert Nations will probably object. We can gather the surrounding troops and gather them together. As long as we spread the word to the Golden Group, they might disperse. Besides, after their looting, they don't have much left. All they need is more supplies."
Although Sean had only met the Golden Group once, he gradually formed an impression of this organization based on the descriptions of them from all parties.
The kind of bandits who move from one place to another after shooting will not rob in one place for a long time. They probably sent out a distress signal in this city to see if anyone would send supplies.
If there are any, we will just grab them and leave, and not engage in a head-on confrontation with the regular army.
"Well, that's one way. I just don't know if we'll be criticized by the countries we seek help from."
"We are already willing to send troops to help, so why would they gossip... Besides, they do not belong to Jagun's territory. It is good enough that they are willing to send troops to help. Do we have to use our country's money to support them?" Sean said.
"If you want to invest, then talk to the businessmen."
These few short words allowed the Sun King to see how Sean handled things.
"Hahaha... As expected, you're from Zambutal. Your tone now is just like my sister's later. You have to know that the Adak region has a strong religious faith. Even if it's not the Sun Temple, it's probably some other temple. Giving favors is considered a sacred act, and no one would say such snobbish words."
"But I said it." Sean noticed that the Sun King did not have any rebuttal or negative attitude, so he spoke more casually.
"Yes, that's what an emperor should do. This matter will be decided after discussing with the ministers tomorrow. Tell me about your story. Will it be okay for you to come to me?" His eyes were already looking at the thing in Sean's hand.
"There are some things that require your advice."
Sean once again talked about his original intentions and plans.
Because he knew the problem in advance from Lubin, all he wanted this time was support, and he didn't need implementation for the time being.
"Improve Jagun's industry?"
"This matter...I have tried it before but failed. If you want to continue trying, it will probably be very difficult."
"I learned all this from Lord Lubin before I came here," Sean said.
"So you still want to give it a try?"
"I don't need my uncle to bring this matter up in the palace, as long as he doesn't object." Sean said after thinking for a while.
"So you want to start from the people?"
"This is the most effective way..." Sean said with certainty.
