Chapter 942: Volume 30: The Beginning of the Empire, - 13: Unlimited Maritime Power
The sea map laid before him stirred Komer’s boundless interest.
This was clearly a rough draft, with evident correction marks still visible on it. Most of the central region was blank except for the west, which clearly marked the location of each city, port, and nearby islands. The areas slightly away from the coastline appeared very sparse, and the sparse marks on the other side of the blank space merely indicated that human exploration of the Continent only extended so far.
"The ocean is infinite, conquest is infinite."
This phrase lingered long in thought; Komer even subconsciously repeated it and savored it carefully.
Xifnos Island was conspicuously marked on the sea map, and two small islands northeast of Xifnos Island caught Komer’s attention.
"Hayreddin, are these the two unnamed islands that you discovered?"
"Yes, Lord, these two islands, one larger than the other, are only about ten nautical miles apart. Both islands have good vegetation and fresh water resources. Apart from being somewhat small in area, other conditions are quite favorable, especially as the rugged cliffs naturally form a ring, which is suitable for ships to dock and take shelter from storms. They are located about 1,200 nautical miles southwest of Xifnos Island, 1,800 nautical miles west of the Blue Continent, and 2,200 nautical miles east of the Continent. It can be said to be perfectly situated in the center of the North Mediterranean, which makes the location very favorable."
"Have they been named?"
"Not yet, they are waiting for Lord Sir to name them, but we have carved the Bear Head Emblem in prominent places on both islands. I believe that anyone coming to the islands will clearly understand that they belong to your territory," Hayreddin responded with a smile.
"Hmm, very good. I really want to go and see it myself, but unfortunately, I don’t have the time," Komer said regretfully. "Then let’s name them Bear Island and Deer Island."
