Chapter 854 – Disembarking is a Problem

As the Great Xia Dynasty prepared for the battle, waves rose up in the Mediterranean once more.

5th month, 10th day, Queen Kalia sent out an invitation to all the Lords in the Mediterranean to invite them over as guests to Atlantis and discuss Atlantic technology.

During ancient times, Atlantis was sunk by a flood and buried at the bottom of the ocean. A year ago, Atlantis had reappeared with Ouyang Shuo’s help.

However, compared to the huge and unimaginable Atlantis civilization, this city was just one small corner; it was not even 1:1000.

In the Atlantis Library, there were many recordings of their civilization and its past.

Kali proposed to gather the strength of the Mediterranean to once again dive back into the ocean to search for more of the treasures of Atlantis; this way, they could rediscover more technology.

The moment the news went out, many gathered as a matter of course.

Even Caesar, who had other intentions, could not look away from the temptation and was ready to accept the invitation.

All of a sudden, the Mediterranean was bustling, starting an unprecedented ocean exploration mission. As a result, they became the talking point of the entire world.

...

5th month, 12th day, Jidian City.

The Jidian City covered by night was like a giant ocean beast, quietly hiding in the ocean and using its cold and icy gaze to stare at the ships that entered the Mediterranean. It was like the Cerberus that guarded hell, making one shiver.

As the ocean breeze blew across, it brought with it a fishy smell.

Even at nightfall, Jidian City’s Gibraltar Port was still lit up. Thousands of ships with different sails were docked by the port.

Each ship in the port was a huge voyaging ship that brought with it the merchants’ dream of riches.

The dock was filled with people, bustling with excitement.

Over 10 different inns lined the docks, exuding the scent of wine, giving the sailors and merchants the best place for entertainment.

As this was a chokepoint of the voyage trading, this place had eastern exquisite inns and also the crazier western ones. Many were where eastern and western culture merged together.

In the inn, it was common to see easterners and westerners gathered together to talk about deals.

And such clamor would last till early morning of the next day.

Without an exception, all these inns were where the Black Snake Guards monitored.

To Black Snake who was an international mercenary, mixing with such crowds was like a fish in water.

He was simply too familiar with such an environment. Even if he closed his eyes, Black Snake knew who he could get intel from and who he could not.

In history, inns were places where information spread. Merchants travelled everywhere and learnt a lot of information and knowledge. They could all unknowingly leak some that could turn into important intel.

Just through such inns, Black Snake Guards could obtain large amounts of international intel.

...

9 PM, Star of the desert inn.

Amongst the inns, this one located all the way at the west of the dock; it was really unassuming. The only thing was that the owner was a black man and came from Africa. Of course, no one would look down on him as anyone who could open an inn here had some ability.

In a normal room on the second floor, Black Snake was meeting someone.

At the current moment, the inn looked normal. But in truth, everything was being monitored by the Black Snake Guards, and even the owner of the inn was a member of the Black Snake Guards.

“Did you bring the thing?” Black Snake asked.

The person sitting opposite Black Snake was a Berber; he came from Morocco. He was 30 odd years old and wore a black robe. Even his head was covered with a black scarf.

If one was in the military, one could tell from the way that he was sitting that he was a soldier.

The mysterious man said with a coarse voice, “I’ve brought the thing you wanted, what about what I wanted?”

Black Snake smiled, taking out a wooden box, “Take a look!”

The mysterious man hesitated before opening it. The moment he opened it, he saw a pigeon egg sized diamond. Even in the dark, it still shone bright.

That’s it!”

The mysterious man was emotional.

Black Snake grinned. Who knows how he did it, but the box closed. “You have seen it, so it is time to let me see what I wanted.”

The mysterious man looked at the wooden box in a daze, gritting his teeth, “It’s this.”

Black Snake took it and swept his eyes across, carefully keeping it in his storage bag, “You should know the consequences of lying to us.”

When the mysterious man heard these words, fear swept his eyes. Obviously, he knew that the man in front of him was a devil, and he stammered, “You can verify it, if there are any mistakes, you can kill me.”

“Great!” Black Snake smiled, passing the wooden box over, “it’s yours.”

The mysterious man hugged the box.

Black Snake said, “Remember, if you dare reveal anything, your kids and wife will be thrown to feed the sharks.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” The man wiped his cold sweat, not delaying and leaving immediately.

Seeing that, a man standing beside Black Snake said, “Sir, we are letting him go just like that?”

Black Snake was expressionless, “What do you want to do? Kill him and burn his body?

“That diamond is worth tens of thousands.”

Black Snake’s expression turned cold, “Even if it were worth millions, we cannot break the rules. The king does not want anyone to fool around. If I learn of anyone is planning anything, do not blame me for being heartless.”

“Yes!”

The nearby members of Black Snake Guards all broke out in sweat.

Black Snake shook his head, “You all have followed the king for so long; can you all grow up? Our king wants to rule the world, do not throw his face away.”

“Thank you sir for your teachings.”

“Let’s go. Monitor that kid; do not let anything go wrong.”

“Yes sir!”

...

After leaving the inn, Black Snake entered the city.

Compared to the noise outside on the docks, the city was really quiet. Long ago at 8 PM, the city was under night curfew, and there was not anyone wandering the streets.

Across the entire city, only the Lord’s Manor was still lit up.

After half a month of preparation, the work had been done and 80% of the resources had been transported over.

In the manor, after eating dinner, Ouyang Shuo gathered the generals for a meeting. The people included Baiqi, Shi Dakai, Huo Qubing, Ma Chao, Lu Bu, Alvaro, Lu Meng, and Jia Xu.

Hung in the middle was the Moroccan map.

Morocco was a place that stretched from north to south. Any important location was marked out; there were four places marked really clearly.

The imperial city Rabat was located northwest and was at the bottom of the circular arc. There were 250 thousand guards inside and two million players.

Purely combat occupation players numbered 200 thousand, gathering 80% of their total numbers.

South of it was the famous garden city, Casa Blanca.

Of course, in the game, Casa Blanca was just a Lord territory. Based on the intel, there would not be more than 50 thousand troops.

Further south was the famous port city Agadir; this was the biggest city in Morocco, and its army had reached closer to a full sized legion.

On the south, apart from these two territories, the other smaller ones had been merged and ceased to exist.

The last enemy that they should pay attention to was Tangier in the north. Similar to Jidian City, Tangier protected an important chokepoint on the Gibraltar Straits and were mainly navy.

At the current moment, their navy was not enough to threaten the Mediterranean Squadron.

All things considered, the most threatening one was the imperial city.

Although Rabat was located along the shore, the voyage army came from long away. How to smoothly dock and disembark without the enemy noticing was the difficult problem.

One must know that they had close to 300 thousand troops. To secretly reach the Moroccan border without being noticed was near impossible.

After the War Division planned and planned, four War Fighting Legions were the max that they could send. If they added anymore, they would be exposed. To use so little troops to attack a country was really crazy.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo needed to personally lead; Jia Xu was the strategist, Baiqi was the deputy, Huo Qubing was the front general, and Alvaro took control of the backlines.

After half a month of investigation and discussion, their battle plan was clear. “Army and navy move in together and strike at many points.”

The evening discussion was to make the final arrangements of the frontline.
