The legend of the "Golden Continent" had arisen largely because the trade caravan the Orunian Empire had sent last time came carrying heaps of gold and silver, buying goods extravagantly and drawing far too much attention.

Since gold and silver were extremely scarce and valuable on the Domiwaga Continent, the sudden appearance of a land with endless gold naturally made people unable to remain calm.

Then they learned that the Orunian Empire had enjoyed peace for too long, its military preparedness had slackened, and it seemed like a soft target ripe for the squeezing.

Naturally, certain ambitious figures began entertaining thoughts of conquering it and claiming it for themselves.

They simply had not expected their conquest plan to be discovered by Atlanm and the others while it was still in the mobilization and preparation stage.

Then, through Mana Web communication, Atlanm reported the situation to Your Majesty.

In the video, he asked,

"Your Majesty, these ill-intentioned fellows actually have their sights set on us. Your Majesty, should we set a fire and burn down their shipyards and airships?"

"No! There's no need!"

Zhou Ming shook his head. "Let them keep building. The day their fleet is completed will be the day we send people to take it over... I happen to need a large number of airships."

"Oh, I understand, Your Majesty. Brilliant—your methods are truly brilliant!"

Such an ending was simply absurd and amusing.

"All right, Atlanm. Carry out your mission properly. Win over all the Mana Web Walkers and
