"You..." Hye was taken aback by what the top nas in his kingdom said. He never thought they would see their progress satisfying to this extent. And yet he couldn’t bla them.
A year ago, they were confined and imprisoned inside their world, unable to step into the universe. And yet, such a mindset was one that he didn’t like.
"We aren’t fighting against normal enemies here," Hye cleared up his throat, before adding, "I know we did great in the past year, but that’s not even enough! If not for the defensive formation around us, we will fail to defend our territory against any invasion!"
"I have a way to solve all this," the debate between Hye and his friends and top leaders lasted for a few hours. They saw he was quite impatient, and he should bid more ti and give the new territory room to grow and strengthen itself from what they got.
And yet Hye didn’t like this. He insisted on the urgency they had on how their enemies wouldn’t stop and wait for them to slowly build their forces. In the middle of such two opposing minds, soone stepped up and spoke up.
"What do you have to say, Major?" Major was the one to speak up. During the past period, Hye left him to try to gather up any allied forces from his people.
After the last war, Major and his fleet joined Hye’s kingdom. Luckily, they got all the clearance for the upgrade task, and they all entered level two.
Hye provided them with enough crystals to hit the ceiling of level two. Before the acquisition of the gem, Major and his fleet was considered the strongest in the entire kingdom in regard to the system paraters.
Hye asked them to start cultivation. They never cultivated before, and that wasn’t surprising to Hye.
"I can tell there is a clear universal ban over any dealing with you, or anyone related to you, so why not use an external help in such regard?" Major’s words weren’t clear, so he started to better explain his idea.
"People don’t know that I now work under you, so why not let go out and attend various auctions on your behalf?" Major paused, before adding, "yet I can’t use any of your bones, as this is clearly what exposes anyone related to you."
"And how can we do it?" Hye liked what Major just said. There was a single puzzling matter that Hye didn’t get until Major highlighted it, which was how any big rchant power in the universe could tell who belonged to him this easily!
He first thought a list of his kingdom’s top figures was leaked by the Toranks. Yet when he tried to use the help of the underlings of these figures, no response ever ca from those rchant groups.
And now he realised the reason. Hye thought that his bones were hot candy in the eyes of everyone in the universe. Yet it turned out to be the main thing that exposed anyone related to him.
"We shall use the universal currency, the Golden coin!" Major said it casually as if this was an obvious thing to do. And when Hye heard it, he couldn’t help but recall this coin, the one he never tried to amass in the past twenty years.
"Ahem, I don’t have much of this coin," Hye embarrassedly said, admitting him being poor in such aspects, "what? I never needed anything else but my bones to do any big deal!"
Everyone looked at him in a weird way, as this was the first ti ever sothing like this happened.
"Well, we can try to sell our bones in return for this currency," Lily suggested, yet Major shook his head.
"Any dealing with the bones will be rejected," he decisively said, "we need to find other ans to get such coins."
"We can use sothing different then," the pirate king was the one to speak up, "instead of using bones directly, we use sothing that these bones can produce, sothing still considered a hot commodity in the universe, while is considered a very common trade in the universe."
He gave Hye a aningful look, making the latter’s eyes shine in realisation. "You don’t an..."
"The U.stat crystals you can produce," the pirate king said directly, "you can produce tons of these, and we can easily sell them."
"But the bones needed to produce such crystals will be astronomical!" Karoline joined the discussion, "not to ntion we still need them. We leveled up many of our forces, but there is still a huge bulk of our armies who didn’t get the chance to taste these crystals!"
"I can deal with that," Hye didn’t object to such an idea, "I still need proper ways to replenish my store of bones from ti to ti."
"What do you an?!" The lady nymph asked, and Legend simply answered her:
"He wants ongoing big war zones to access, where he can easily amass tons of bones."
"This isn’t hard to find," the pirate king paused, "I have intel regarding wars happening almost every day. There are even lots of smaller wars that happen between mid-sized forces in the universe that big powers don’t bother to follow."
"These will be perfect," Hye liked this idea, "make a list of them, especially those close to us..."
"I don’t suggest picking the closest wars around," the pirate king calmly said, "I don’t know if other forces linked this area to you, but I guess they didn’t. Or else we’d have seen endless fleets coming here and attacking us."
"That would be a happy occasion for him," Sara laughed, and everyone either smiled, shook their heads, or laughed as well.
"You are right," Hye got what the pirate king warned him from, "but find out the safest paths to go to these places then."
The pirate king nodded, while Major suddenly suggested sothing else.
"As we are on the topic, then we shall not drop the opportunity to lure in as many as possible from the mid-sized and small forces in the universe."
"What do you an?" Toramos asked, while everyone else shared the sa puzzlent.
