Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 247 - 176: Living Copper Ore (Part 2)
Listening to the middle-aged manβs words, Wang Ruiyangβs heart grew cold. He then lowered his head and spoke softly, "I understand, Uncle..."
His heart was icy. ππΏπ²ππ°πππ§πππ²π₯.πππ
From the middle-aged manβs words, he discerned that he didnβt care at all about Wang Qiβs death. To him, preserving the image of the Wang Clan was even more important than finding out the real culprit.
He claimed to have deep feelings for Wang Qi, but in reality, he didnβt care about the truth behind Wang Qiβs death.
Wang Ruiyang felt disappointed, realizing that some people in his family changed completely after gaining power and influence in this world.
Yet, he had no way to counter it. Even he was under his uncleβs protection, enjoying the resources and connections his uncle provided.
Despite feeling cold-hearted about his uncleβs indifference, he dared not openly question it.
He could only suppress his feelings for Wang Qiβs brother and follow his uncleβs orders.
Sometimes, clarity and corruption truly are hard to separate.
Once you become part of a group, part of an interest group, many things become out of your control...
"Letβs start with an investigation, then..."
"If we canβt find anything significant, weβll have to act according to Uncleβs instructions..."
"Donβt blame me... Wang Qi..."
Wang Ruiyang thought to himself, sighed lightly, and prepared to lead a few subordinates to Qiyun Port...
...
It wasnβt just the Wang Clan that reacted strongly to the heirβs murder; even the Li Clan had a significant reaction.
However, for this ripple effect to reach Qiyun Port, it would likely take a while.
The external changes didnβt affect Fang Yu.
The three... were naturally killed by Fang Yu.
Not only that, Fang Yu even gained 20,000+ experience points and some miscellaneous items from killing them.
This time, Fang Yu left the Salted Fish and used the sea ship arranged by the Black Snake Gangβs Qin Yu, racing across the ocean, so the gained experience wasnβt shared with his crew.
That was Fang Yuβs caution.
Because he knew that after killing the three, there would likely be a massive reaction from both the public and the corporations behind the three.
Even if Fang Yu didnβt fear the publicity, it would still bring unnecessary trouble.
Playing it safe was always right.
After killing the three, Fang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Stabilizing the outside is a prerequisite for stabilizing the inside.
Although this matter wasnβt exactly internal, the logic was similar.
Allowing a few schemers to play tricks during wartime would be less influential but definitely nauseating.
After dealing with the three, Fang Yu could finally focus entirely on the Sea Ore battlefield.
The next morning, soldiers sent by Kong Huaao arrived on Yunjiji Island and delivered Kong Huaaoβs instructions to Fang Yu.
Go all out.
That was Kong Huaaoβs instruction to Fang Yu.
It was essentially a legitimate assurance for Fang Yu.
But from the Blue Star Captainβs perspective, it was as if Kong Huaao had entrusted the task to Fang Yu.
Once confirmed by Kong Huaao, it meant that Fang Yu had accepted the task, and his contributions would be accounted for when calculating the mission later.
With proper backing, Fang Yu could use all his energy and focus on the Sea Ore Island battlefield.
It had been a week and a half since the agreement with Lu Kun.
It was a delay of a week and a half, and if they didnβt execute the task soon, there would be a real risk of not completing it.
The progress of the Sea Mine War needed to be accelerated.
After confirming Kong Huaaoβs stance, Fang Yu spread the chart of the Sea Ore battlefield in front of him and then looked at the sea situation map ahead.
For Fang Yuβs current level, his main focus naturally was on the large Sea Ore Islands.
Currently, there were 69 large Sea Ore Islands in total; 34 were controlled by the Duorong Federationβs military, while 35 had been captured by the Marine Army.
Thatβs right...
Previously, the Duorong Federation had 35, holding a slight advantage.
But within this week, the Marine Army used the fearless and ferocious tactics of alien soldiers, directly using a large number as cannon fodder and throwing them into the Sea Ore Island battle.
Under such sacrificial attacks, Marine Army morale soared, capturing a large Sea Ore Island.
Although Fang Yu felt that such sacrificial attacks wouldnβt last long.
They could only hold a certain advantage short-term, but eventually, the loss of so many lives would become unbearable.
If the battle was prolonged, the Marine Armyβs morale would certainly decline, eventually being counterattacked by the Duorong Federation.
But this was exactly what Fang Yu couldnβt accept.
Because of the gambling agreement, he couldnβt allow the Duorong Federation to remain in a slow-boiling defensive strategy.
He wanted to escalate the war, preferably sparking a few key battles in a short time, ultimately ending the war in three months.
But that wouldnβt be easy.
Recklessly escalating might not give the Duorong Federation any advantage.
If they lost due to aggressiveness, it would be unacceptable.
Fang Yu showed a thoughtful expression and unconsciously glanced at an island across from Yunjiji Island:
