Chapter 385: Another World Government?!

"Great!"

Sebastian's face was full of pleasant surprise; it was truly great that Locke could remain in Noxas.

This was the young man he had watched grow up with his own eyes.

After the previous king died in the chaotic war, he had already come to regard Locke as his backbone.

That he could return to Noxas.

It was truly great!

Not having to go on adventures in the New World meant he wouldn't have to live in constant fear, worrying about Locke getting hurt or meeting with disaster.

"Hmm!"

"Let's just stay in the North Blue for a while now."

"First, set a small goal!"

"Develop Noxas into the number one power in the North Blue, and dominate the entire North Blue before anything else!"

"The sea, having been in conflict for so long, is due for a bit of integration!"

Locke nodded.

He took a light sip of the red wine in his hand, his expression indifferent as he spoke.

Even though he was talking about the great undertaking of unifying the North Blue, ending the chaotic wars of the sea, and achieving a grand unification, his demeanor was nonchalant, as if he were as casual as considering what to eat for dinner.

To the outside world, he would definitely be seen as an arrogant fool with boundless audacity.

But to those around him?

Esdeath, Najenda, and the others all nodded with peace of mind, as if it would be strange for Locke not to be this way; it was only natural, a matter of course, and they had completely come to view the North Blue as something already in their grasp.

Even Sebastian, standing behind Locke, nodded without changing his expression.

The Kingdom of Noxas.

Although it had been passed down for a long time and could be called ancient, even tracing back to the birth of the World Government, it had never been powerful; it had always been just an unremarkable place on the sea.

At its strongest, under the previous king, it only had a population of several hundred thousand, with an army of less than thirty thousand, and many of those were just making up the numbers; their combat effectiveness was hard to describe.

But, now!

In Locke's hands, it was no longer what it used to be, having directly surged past its peak.

Not to mention anything else.

The one hundred thousand iron cavalry trained by General Esdeath alone were enough to dominate the countries of the North Blue; the fierce battle record of sweeping through more than a dozen countries previously was a fact written in blood, making countless nations tremble and crawl beneath the edge of their blades.

Forces that came upon hearing the news, voluntarily submitting and defecting, were countless.

It had directly broken through to its strongest level in history, with a population in the millions, which made him feel both busy every day and filled with pride and satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, the development of Noxas will surely surpass countless countries, and even compared to the legendary top-tier powerful nations that dominate various regions, it will not be inferior in the slightest.

Developing a backwater place that couldn't even enter the World Alliance into a powerful nation that makes the world take notice—this achievement, right before his eyes, had long since caused Sebastian to deify Locke; even if Locke told him the moon was square, he would decisively believe it, having been completely conquered from the inside out!!

"However..."

"What about those Marines?"

Sebastian's face carried a hint of faint worry.

Under the invincible iron cavalry trained by General Esdeath, as long as they fought to sustain the war and developed normally, he had no doubt that one day they could crush all national enemies and ascend to the position of North Blue hegemon.

But the Marines...

That group of guys who prided themselves on justice and maintained peace on the sea would clearly not be so willing to just let things be.

After all!

Listening to Locke's tone, it was clear he didn't want Noxas to become like Germa 66, an invisible North Blue hegemon that controlled the entire North Blue from the shadows to forge a hegemonic status.

Rather, he wanted to conquer other defiant elements with an iron-blooded posture, bring all other kingdoms under his command, achieve practical control, and become the true North Blue hegemon, looming over the entire North Blue with a status similar to the World Government.

Not to mention the level of difficulty.

At the very least, those Marines who prided themselves on justice would absolutely not allow their status to be challenged.

Even if they didn't care, the World Government behind them would never agree.

The North Blue!

The Kingdom of Germa 66 seems to be the hegemon of the North Blue, but in reality, all clear-sighted people know that this sea area, and even the entire Four Blues, has only one master—the World Government!

And there are Marine bases scattered across the North Blue like stars, which are also a force that cannot be ignored.

If they really clenched their fists, they would definitely be the strongest opponent they would have to face!

"As for the Marines..."

Sebastian frowned slightly, his face showing a bit of hesitation.

He was met with a wave of Locke's hand: "Don't worry about them!"

"They are just a bunch of running dogs for the World Government! No matter how powerful they are, they are merely running dogs!"

"They are just dogs without their own independent will, reduced to being driven by others; no matter how strong they are, so what? There are simply too many, too many ways to deal with them..."

At the very beginning.

When his strength was weak, Locke didn't even put those running dogs in his eyes.

Let alone now!

After his strength had gradually grown and his wings had begun to fill out.

After experiencing the events on the Rocks Pirates, and the subsequent changes in the God Valley battle, Locke had already been able to roughly grasp the pulse and thoughts of the World Government; as long as he followed the plan.

He was ninety percent sure he could easily suppress the Marines and leave those guys unable to move.

As for teaching running dogs a lesson, he just needed to make their masters tighten the reins!

Tragic things that couldn't even control their own freedom and will, no matter how strong their power, were nothing more than tools!

As for the one percent possibility of a collapse?

Then let's fight!

What a joke~

Could he, Locke, ever lack the courage for a battle?

They were merely running dogs of the World Government; if they could break free from the chains of restraint, why would he fear a battle with those guys? And by that time, as the Teigu under his command became more numerous and stronger, even if the Marines didn't come to find him, Locke would take the initiative to strike and wipe them out completely!

How can one allow others to snore beside one's own bed!!!

"Heh—"

Locke's gaze turned cold, his eyes flashing with grim killing intent.

Bone-chilling cold.

As if he wanted to freeze the whole world in his eyes.

But soon.

It was hidden away in an instant; before his inner ambition was realized, he didn't want to leak them to the outside.

The venting with his mouth was just big talk!

All talk and no action.

That had never been his character.

Facts! Will prove everything!

"Your Highness..." Sebastian looked at Locke's proud posture.

He immediately closed his mouth.

He knew.

The man before him, who looked like a youth, had definitely planned everything.

As a subordinate.

As a butler!

All he had to do was obey.

Unconditional trust and obedience! ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
