Chapter 435

"Those maggots of the sea should be wishing for us to make as big a scene as possible right now... they might even facilitate our process of conquering the North Blue, actively coming to add bricks and tiles."

"If we lead a large army to sweep through, we would fall right into their trap."

Esdeath's face was very cold.

The best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy!

Being able to sit firmly in the position of Imperial Grand General, she was definitely not a fool.

It is foreseeable.

As long as the Noxas army sweeps through, it will definitely be smooth sailing, and even that dog, the Navy, will not dare to bare its fangs at Noxas under the constraints of the World Government.

But...

Although this can easily reach the top of the North Blue.

In the end, it would just be a puppet pushed out by the other side, without a clean world carved out by blood and fire, under the overt and covert restrictions of the World Government.

Noxas's control over the North Blue might not even be as good as the Germa 66 Kingdom, which controls the North Blue through various implicit means like economy, politics, weapons, and population...

This kind of puppet regime is definitely not what Locke wants.

"Noxas's development... is still too slow..."

Locke shook his head.

He had focused on the improvement of his own strength, and Noxas's national power had instead become a shortcoming.

His current situation is somewhat similar to Big Mom's Totto Land; its strength basically relies on his own existence. Wanting to swallow the entire North Blue in one go is too easy for others to plant nails.

Such a heaven-defying feat as a snake swallowing an elephant can only be realized in endless slaughter; a peaceful evolution of the regime is simply impossible. With Noxas's current size, wanting to steadily swallow the cake of the North Blue.

Is really too early.

And this!

Is exactly the reason why the World Government is hyping it up so much without worrying about a backlash.

"Ah?"

"Are we just going to let this be?"

"Just leave the North Blue alone?"
