Chapter 3197: Begone
Thus, as long as Jormungandr could embed a command in all the quasi-Transcendents and other monsters to not target ships below a certain threshold of energy, then all warships would become obsolete.
Of course, this was also true for the Panamic warships, of which the Kandrian Empire had a substantial amount, but Rui had decided that this was a worthy trade-off.
Most of Panama’s vessels were designed for trade and transport.
After all, during the Era of Darkness, the ocean became their only refuge for trade. All ships, including most battleships, were rapidly refitted and converted to carry as much cargo as possible to transport and deliver across human civilization through the sea.
Thus, the Panama Continent would not lose much by not being able to field warships, while the true world would become neutered in its naval warfare.
Not to mention, with the protection of the beasts and monsters of the Great Nam Ocean, they truly did not need to have warships. The beasts and monsters of the depths of the ocean were the ultimate defense that could not be overcome.
It took a while for Rui to hash out all the details with the Jormungandr.
It was why he had come all the way to meet face-to-face with the great serpent.
The creature proved to be just as intelligent as he had expected it to be, capable of great reason and sophistication. An unsophisticated creature with as much power as Jormungandr had would likely have destroyed the world by haphazardly wielding its power.
Thankfully, the creature wasn’t just intelligent but also stunningly rational and reasonable.
It understood the importance of trade despite being a giant snake.
