Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"Don't go!"

"For the foreseeable future... I'll probably be developing my business in Beihai for quite some time!"

Locke shook his head.

It was precisely because the direction for the next step was determined that...

That's why he picked up the report and started reading it. Otherwise, given his trust in Sebastian, he wouldn't have been interested in wasting time reading such things. He was simply fulfilling his duty as 'King' and needed to understand the basic situation.

Chapter 187: Another World Government?!

"Great!"

Sebastian was overjoyed; it was wonderful that Locke could stay in Noxus.

This is a boy he watched grow up.

After the previous king died in the chaos of war, he had already made Locke his pillar of support.

He can return to Noxus.

It was so good!

Without venturing into the new world, there's no need to constantly worry about Locke getting hurt or in trouble.

"Ok!"

"Let's stay in Beihai for a while now."

"Set a small goal first!"

"Let's develop Noxus into the number one power in the North Sea and dominate the entire North Sea first!"

"The ocean, which has been in conflict for so long, deserves a bit of consolidation!"

Locke nodded.

He took a small sip of the red wine in his hand and said calmly.

He was talking about unifying the North Sea, ending the wars and conflicts at sea, and achieving a great unification, but his expression was nonchalant, as if he were just casually considering what to eat for dinner.

To outsiders, he was an incredibly arrogant and boastful person.

But what about the people around him?

Esdeath, Najenda, and the others all nodded with a clear conscience, as if it would be strange for Locke not to do so, as if it were only natural and expected, completely regarding the North Sea as theirs for the taking.

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

The Kingdom of Noxus.

Although it has a long history and can be described as ancient, even dating back to the beginning of the World Government, it has never been powerful and has always been just an ordinary place on the sea.

At its peak, under the previous king, the population was only a few hundred thousand, and the army numbered less than thirty thousand, many of whom were just filling in the ranks. Their fighting strength was questionable.

But now!

In Locke's hands, however, things were no longer the same as before, and he directly broke through the strongest peak.

Don’t say anything else.

General Esdeath alone, with her 100,000 iron cavalry, was enough to dominate all the countries of the North Sea. Her previous fierce victory over more than ten countries was a bloody fact that made countless countries tremble and grovel under her blade.

The number of forces that came upon hearing the news and voluntarily submitted to the cause was countless.

This directly broke the record for the largest population in history, with millions of people, keeping him constantly busy, but also bringing him a deep sense of pride and satisfaction.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, Noxus's development will surpass countless countries, and it will be in no way inferior to the legendary top powers that dominate various regions.

To develop a rural area that even the Allied powers couldn't penetrate into a powerful nation that commands global attention—this was an achievement so close at hand that Sebastian had already deified Locke. Even if Locke told him the moon was square, he would believe it without hesitation, utterly and completely captivated!

"But……"

"Those navy personnel?"

Sebastian had a faint look of worry on his face.

With the invincible cavalry trained by General Esdeath, as long as they continue to fight and develop normally, he has no doubt that one day they will crush all powerful enemies and become the overlord of the North Sea.

But the navy...

Those self-proclaimed righteous individuals who claim to uphold peace on the seas are clearly not so happy to let things go unchecked.

after all!

Judging from Locke's tone, he clearly didn't want Noxus to become like Germa 66, an invisible overlord of the North Sea, remotely controlling the entire North Sea to establish its dominance.

Instead, he wanted to conquer the other disloyal ones with an iron fist, bring all the other countries under his control, achieve real control, become the true overlord of the North Sea, and dominate the entire North Sea, similar to the status of a world government.

Regardless of the level of difficulty.

At the very least, those self-proclaimed righteous navies would never allow their position to be challenged.

Even if they don't care, the world government behind them will never agree to it.

North Sea!

The Germa 66 Kingdom may seem to be the overlord of the North Blue, but in reality, everyone with discerning eyes knows that this sea area, and even the entire four seas, has only one master—the World Government!

Furthermore, the naval bases scattered throughout the North Sea, like stars in the sky, represent a force that cannot be ignored.

If they really put their fists together, they will definitely be the strongest opponent they face!

"The Navy..."

Sebastian frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation on his face.

Locke, however, simply waved his hand dismissively: "Ignore it!"

"A bunch of lackeys of the World Government! No matter how powerful they are, they're just mere lackeys!"

"Without their own independent will, they're nothing but dogs following the lead of others. What good is strength if they're not strong? There are just too many ways to deal with them..."

very beginning.

When he was weak, Locke didn't even take those lackeys seriously.

Moreover, now!

Their strength has gradually increased, and their wings have begun to fully grow.

Having experienced the events on the Rocks Pirates and the unexpected turn of events at God Valley, Rock had a general grasp of the World Government's intentions and plans, as long as they followed the established procedure.

He was 90% confident that he could easily suppress the navy and render those guys immobile.

As for disciplining lackeys, just make their owners tighten the reins!

A pathetic thing that cannot even control its own freedom and will, no matter how strong it is, is nothing more than a tool!

As for the one percent chance of a collapse?

Then let’s fight!

Joke~

Would Locke really lack the courage to fight?

They're just lackeys of the World Government. If they can break free of their chains, why would he be afraid to fight them? And when that time comes, with more and stronger Imperial Arms under his command, even if the Navy doesn't come looking for him, Locke will take the initiative to wipe them out!

How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?!

"Ah--"

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

Bone-chilling cold.

It was as if he wanted to freeze the whole world in his eyes.

But soon.

He concealed it in an instant, not wanting to reveal their ambitions to the outside world until they were realized.

Verbal venting is just empty talk!

All talk and no action.

That's never been his personality.

The facts will prove everything!

“Your Highness…” Sebastian looked at Locke’s arrogant demeanor.

He immediately shut his mouth.

he knows.

The seemingly young man in front of her had definitely planned everything.

As a subordinate.

As a housekeeper!

All he had to do was obey.

Unconditional trust and obedience!
