Alex and Victor had also long had a plan for the Great Fish River: in the future, they would use multiple canals to fully connect the Great Fish River and the Blackwater River, creating a navigable waterway system with a long basin and vast coverage.
As long as this waterway system could be completed, it would allow them to better mobilize the resources of the entire Vela Region and unite the Vela nobles.
So long as this waterway system was not destroyed in the future, the entire Vela Region would be completely linked as one. Whether from south to north or west to east, it would be tightly connected, and no one would be able to split this land apart.
If the Vela Region could one day, with the help of the Raine Kingdom homeland, thoroughly defeat the East Sea Alliance to the south and annex its territory, the entire Vela Region would possess more than two million square kilometers of land and nearly fifty million people from south to north, utterly transforming into a colossal power.
To put it bluntly, if someone could unite the strength of this land, they would truly possess the foundations of a kingdom.
Of course, the Raine Kingdom homeland was immensely powerful and would contribute the most. Even if the southern invasion succeeded and the East Sea Alliance's land and population were annexed, the greater share of the benefits would likely still go to the Raine Kingdom—unless the Vela Region one day broke free from its control.

Yet Victor and Alex had no doubt that if turmoil arose within the Raine Kingdom
