Chapter 859 – Each Have Their Own Plan

Andre’s suggestion caused the eyes of Caroline and Rainier to light up.

The three of them quickly came to a consensus and were prepared to seek help from the Mediterranean Lords. Their first choice was naturally Spain, who hated the Great Xia Dynasty and was the shortest distance away.

Of course, Spain was not enough, and the three of them would rather they be able to move the entire Mediterranean.

In less than an hour, Casillas, Juan, Henry, Caesar, and the top Lord of Portugal, Pedro all got the news that war had started between Morocco and the Great Xia Dynasty.

Atlantis City, which was already really exciting and busy, became even more so because of that. With the coordination and contact of the three Moroccan Lords, the thoughts of the Mediterranean Lords were led away.

Seeing that, Kalia cancelled that day’s activities to allow the Lords to do their own things. Hence, everyone was naturally delighted, and Lords gathered in twos and threes to discuss with each other.

Toward this matter, the Lords had much to talk about.

Someone could not help but ask, “The Great Xia Dynasty attacking Morocco is not something out of the blue. Has it been festering?”

“It must have been planned a long time ago,” someone else said.

“How so?”

“A country war is not a game. How could it be out of the blue? Look at the expressions of the three Moroccan Lords; they must have been caught off guard.”

The Lord could not help but nod and said worriedly, “So Morocco might fall?”

“That’s hard to say. After all, we do not understand the frontline situation. However, from their expressions, the situation does not look good. It seems like the Great Xia Dynasty Army directly attacked the imperial city Rabat.”

One Lord said, “With the way they plan and how they usually do things, they will not act unless they are really confident. In my opinion, Morocco is highly likely to perish.”

“That’s right, be it military commanding or planning, who dares to compete with them? They are like an assassin who likes to one-shot others.”

The various achievements of the Great Xia Dynasty in the wilderness had caused all the Lords in the world to fear them.

Of course, there were many who agreed and naturally many who did not.

Some Lords said, “That might not be true, but we should not think too highly of them. No matter how strong they are, that is in the China region. They have travelled from so far to the Africa Continent. First, they do not have a logistics base, and secondly, they do not have any allies. On the contrary, Morocco has the home field advantage, so they might not lose.”

“You’re right.” There were some Lords who agreed, “The Great Xia Dynasty is too bold and arrogant. They really think that after they established their country they can look down on other countries? I think they have made a big mistake.”

“This….”

The Mediterranean Lords exchanged glances with one another, not knowing who to believe.

At this very moment, someone raised up another problem, “Have you guys thought about what would happen to the Mediterranean if they really take down Morocco?”

Hearing those words, the expressions on their faces varied. All of them were smart and just by thinking a little, they would understand the awkward situation they were in.

If the Great Xia Dynasty took down Morocco, it would be like obtaining another strategic ground. Hence, it would solve half of the problems that the Great Xia Dynasty faced after the disbandment of the Mediterranean Alliance.

The reason within was not hard to understand.

Along with the alliance disbanding, it was impossible for the Mediterranean Squadron to continue ruling. The Spanish Invincible Squadron, the Roman Squadron, and the Gual Squadron would not allow it.

However, the smart Lords would think deeper.

What if they did not have that ambition and just wanted to guard the door to the Mediterranean?

With Jidian City and Morocco, guarding the Gibraltar Straits was not a difficult thing to do.

If that happened, what was the point of the three countries’ attempts to seize power?

The Great Xia Dynasty at that time would be similar to the current Atlantis, being a supernatural existence in the Mediterranean. Any country that wanted to trade would need to listen to them.

This was the reason why they were in an awkward spot.

Some Lords said, “So we need to help Morocco?”

“If you do not want the Great Xia Dynasty to ride on our heads in the future, it’s best to act.”

“Morocco is so far away from us, so how can we help?” some of the Lords lamented.

Strictly speaking, Morocco did not belong to the Mediterranean. It had a unique geological position, which meant it did not have much contact with Africa and was pretty much a land of its own.

The only way to get there was through ocean routes.

“No matter what, every bit we can help is good.”

As this involved the interests of many sides, no one could force another. The final result of their discussion was really varied.

As expected, Casillas and Juan agreed to assist Morocco.

“The Great Xia Dynasty is ambitious like a wolf. We cannot let them get away with this.” Casillas said.

To Casillas, this was a god given chance to take down the Mediterranean Squadron. He did not want to miss the chance. More importantly, he was confident in the Spanish Invincible Squadron.

“The Invincible Squadron needs a clean victory to announce our return.” Casillas had planned everything out; he wanted to stand up where he fell down.

However, Henry used the reason of not interfering in Moroccan politics to remain neutral. After all, in this half a year of development, the current Gual Squadron was no weaker than the Spanish Invincible Squadron.

If the two of them could work together, it would be enough to take down the Mediterranean Squadron.

Henry did not step in because he understood the Great Xia Dynasty more than anyone. If the country war had not started, and he noticed the Great Xia Dynasty moving troops, Henry might have come out to stop him.

The current army was already at Rabat, so coming out at this time was already too late and useless.

Henry was a careful person and would not take unnecessary risks.

Taking a step back, even if the Great Xia Dynasty took down Morocco, it would not be totally bad for Vic City. It could even be a chance.

Hence, Henry decided not to step in.

He was happy to just sit out and watch the hot blooded acts of Casillas and the others.

What Andre and the others could not understand was the attitude of Portugal Lord, Pedro.

Originally, Pedro looked like he intended to help. However, after he learned that the Spanish were acting, he unexpectedly chose to stay out.

It seemed like the animosity between Portugal and Spain was not totally solved.

Pedro naturally had his own reasons and logic behind his actions. Portugal was originally a strong ocean country and split colonies with Spain in the world, having a great history.

As the top Lord in Portugal, Pedro also had a strong navy. However, since he kept a low profile, people did not know about it.

Even after the Mediterranean Alliance disbanded, Pedro had no intentions of stepping into the battle for power. The reason behind his lack of action was the existence of Spain.

This was something Portugal and Pedro could not get away from.

Pedro was really clear that Morocco being taken over by the Great Xia Dynasty was not a good thing for Portugal. After all, who wanted to be neighbors with a tiger?

But seeing the Spanish Squadron enter, Pedro held back himself.

Thinking back to the mysterious person he came into contact to before, Pedro thought about another possibility. Hence, Pedro was prepared to be like Henry and wait for changes.

‘Whoever wins, Portugal would work with them.’ That was Pedro’s idea.

Last would be Caesar.

Italy was located in the backland region of the Mediterranean, and it was impossible for him to send out troops. Even if he did, Henry and Casillas would probably not be happy.

The battle for ocean rights had just started, and the three squadrons had not found a victor. How would Henry and the others allow Caesar to stretch his hand out to Morocco?

Although Caesar did not send troops, he was really supportive. He brought the three Lords of Morocco around to link them up with other Lords to try to provoke them into sending help.

“Let’s all unite against the enemy!”

However, the Lords were not fools and each of them had their own considerations.

A large portion of them decided to just watch on. Even Kalia was neutral and decided not to interfere in this country war.

If there were no interests involved, who would want to fight?

The Moroccan Lords went around, and the only major power they managed to successful invite was the Spanish Invincible Squadron. Apart from that would be a few small countries that were willing to send a portion of their troops.

Without an exception, these Lords were all allies of Spain. The Mediterranean Lord circle was not as calm and peaceful as it seemed.

With the results out, the three of them were naturally really depressed. Thinking back to the country war, they were extremely anxious.

In the end, the three of them decided to let Andre remain in Atlantis to try and persuade more people. Meanwhile, Caroline and Rainier followed the Spanish Invincible Squadron back to Morocco.
