Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 620 - 315: Chaotic Situation, Sovereign Lanyun’s True Intentions (Part 3)

Lately, numerous navigators who had their ships destroyed have secretly formed all sorts of intelligence networks.

The most renowned among them is the group behind this very post, "Spider Web Intelligence".

Its intelligence-gathering speed is astonishingly swift, and the reliability of its data stands exceptionally high. Yet, the cost matches that quality; a single read demands 100 Silver Coins.

Upon noticing this, Fang Yu effortlessly handed over 100 Silver Coins, instantly accessing the full post content.

Before long, a vast array of information spread out in front of Fang Yu.

Spider Web Intelligence has good cause to demand a hundred Silver Coins per post.

The post's details are incredibly thorough, covering every event in Lanyun Sea Country over this time.

Additionally, every event lists its sources, including the Blue Star Navigator who gathered the intel, ensuring top-notch trustworthiness.

Fang Yu scanned through it all meticulously, skipping nothing.

Once he absorbed every bit, he exhaled sharply and swore aloud right there:

"Dammit, that’s really unkind!"

Fang Yu's curse targeted no other than Lanyun Sea Country's Sovereign.

The intel revealed that as Fang Yu departed Lanyun Sea Country toward the Pirate Alliance's turf, the Southern faction's forces trailed him covertly using a unique Secret Treasure, plotting an ambush to slay him and spark conflict.

A Spider Web Intelligence navigator luckily discovered this plot, and furthermore, they uncovered extra details via separate sources.

Namely, the Sovereign's Lanyun Council was fully aware yet permitted those soldiers to shadow Fang Yu and strike him down en route.

The Council's motive stemmed from viewing Fang Yu as expendable in the Sovereign's eyes—mere bait.

Bait designed to draw out the Southern faction's troops for elimination.

By tracing the military command chain upward, the Council could swiftly identify the issuer and unmask the Peacekeeping Council figure backing the Southern faction.

And that's precisely what occurred.

With murderous designs on Fang Yu forming in the Southern faction, vulnerabilities inevitably surfaced within their ranks.

The long-vigilant Council pounced on the chance, pursuing the leads to the top.

In recent days, Lanyun Sea Country has buzzed with unrest, as Council officials and troops dash about nonstop.

The intel cuts off here; Fang Yu had hoped for updates on the Council's probe results.

Truth be told, being treated as bait by the Sovereign irked Fang Yu, though he recognized his own standing fell far short of the Sovereign's.

Being seen as irrelevant by the Sovereign wasn't a huge issue.

Ultimately, Fang Yu aimed only to save Kong Huaao, avert war between the nations, and expose the Peacekeeping Council infiltrator in Lanyun Sea Country.

Goals met, he'd depart without further entanglement with Lanyun Sea Country.

Still... the Council's investigation outcomes piqued Fang Yu's fierce interest.

Moreover, from the Council's actions these last couple days, they'd clearly uncovered leads, maybe even pinpointed the Southern faction's puppet master.

One in the south, one in the north; Peacekeeping Council shadows loom over both factions, with at least two members lurking in Lanyun Sea Country.

Yet, nailing the Southern backer should make it simple for the Sovereign to uproot the Northern one's Peacekeeping Council agent too.

This realization stirred an odd feeling in Fang Yu.

Odd indeed... by rights, upon identifying the Southern faction's hidden manipulator, the Sovereign ought to swiftly seize control of both factions' armies and extract those two Peacekeeping Council operatives.

But now, despite the turmoil gripping Lanyun Sea Country, no major public actions have emerged, and Spider Web Intelligence navigators remain utterly in the dark.

What scheme is the Sovereign weaving?

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, a crucial realization struck Fang Yu like lightning.

"Something’s not right!"

Fang Yu muttered.

Should the Lanyun Sea Country Sovereign truly oppose war and seek merely to dominate the Northern and Southern factions' forces through this event, securing the safety of both him and Kong Huaao would be essential.

In the end... should both he and Kong Huaao perish inside Lanyun Sea Country, that old fellow from Duorong would certainly refuse to let it slide and rush over demanding answers.

Wouldn’t that merely strain the bonds between the two nations?

Should he meet his end, no proof would linger to show Kong Huaao had been set up; under the crushing weight of public fury in Lanyun Sea Country, Kong Huaao would probably face execution.

However, the Sovereign of Lanyun Sea Country, after seeing the Southern faction send forces to slay him, revealed zero will to intervene and save him.

Whether he lives or dies, the Sovereign couldn’t care less.

This suggests he holds no regard for that old man showing up to seek explanations...

Solely in a single circumstance... would the Sovereign disregard that old man’s demands.

Namely...

"The Sovereign of Lanyun Sea Country wasn’t coerced by the Northern and Southern factions whatsoever; he himself...

desires to spark this war against Duorong Federation!"

Fang Yu inhaled deeply, as though his entire body had plummeted into a frozen abyss...
