Chapter 783: Starting the Age of Discovery

The Queen is not an ignorant little girl. She knows exactly what the Desert Kingdom is up to.

This broken kingdom is sandwiched between two great nations, serving as a buffer zone between them. If it weren't for the desert's geographical structure, both Norma and Gran would have attacked it long ago and taken it over. But because of this yellow sand, neither Gran nor Norma have had any interest in it, and whoever attacks it, the other kingdom will not sit idly by and will even send troops to aid it.

And so the Desert Kingdom wavered between the two great nations.

If Norma was strong, it would rely on Norma to fight against Gran, hoping to take a piece of their territory and have their kingdom also own a non-desert, legitimate piece of land. And if Gran were strong, they would lean towards Gran and go against Norma, hoping to take a piece of their land.

This broken kingdom has been going back and forth like this for thousands of years, but it is still stuck in the desert.

The Queen is not interested in hearing any more nonsense and frowned, "I need something substantial, not this kind of divisive promise."

The ambassador quickly added, "Oh, right! If we can establish a peace agreement lasting more than ten years, you will also receive a substantial compensation and a map of the newly discovered Maya’s East Coast."

"Oh?" The Queen became interested. "A map of the East Coast of the new continent?"

In recent decades, the Kingdom of Gran's maritime affairs have been in a mess. The first twenty years were due to Mondra's inaction. This scum never developed technology or explored the unknown, only knowing how to consolidate his own power. During his twenty years of ruling Gran, the kingdom didn't even build a port. And during this time, although the young Queen was in Lost City, she was focused on saving her army and fighting the war to reclaim her kingdom, paying little attention to the sea merchants.

Then came the long four-year civil war in the kingdom of Gran…

During this time, sailors from Norma and the Desert Kingdom discovered the new continent and had already begun mapping it, searching for rare minerals, discovering new crops, and contacting the local indigenous people...

In maritime affairs, the kingdom of Gran was far behind!

Without a maritime industry, it's as if we have no say in the new continent! The Kingdom of Gran has a history of over a thousand years and is located in the southwest corner of the Fengmo continent. Most of the kingdom's resources have already been exploited, and the last time Robb went with the army, he didn't come across any useful high-level mines. The best they found was level 60 Arcanite and some connective tissue provided by giant bats.

Robb is quite unhappy with the Kingdom of Gran’s resource reserves.
