Seeing that superpower at a glance, it is difficult to notice the areas outside its territory. At the same time, have you noticed that outside the square states,
There is a piece of land that is extremely far away from the mainland, and is so far away that it is unnaturally conspicuous.
It's not an archipelago of resorts, but a vast area, like the world's largest enclave independent of home, yes, that's right,
——Alaska.
The birth of each enclave is accompanied by complex historical reasons, but compared to others, Alaska's reasons are particularly special.
In that era of colonial expansion, the explorer Bering passed through the Bering Strait, which was not named after him at that time, and found the route from Asia to the Americas.
Discovered the last piece of human geography except Antarctica, and then after several generations of hard work,
Let Alaska become a Russian colony.
But by the 19th century, surrounding the powder keg of the Balkan Peninsula, Russia suffered heavy losses in the Crimean War. Russia had lingering fears about the power that the sun never set at that time.
At the same time that its control over Alaska was declining, Britain was worried that it already had the colony of Canada, so it directly used it as a springboard to attack eastern Russia, which had no strong military power at all.
Coupled with two unequal treaties, a large area of land with a suitable climate was seized from the weakened Qing Dynasty, and the strategic direction of expansion shifted.
So in the end, because of financial constraints at the time, Russia also wanted someone to help block the Western European powers.
They decided to sell this "gold-eating beast" that they had grown disdainful of and were losing a lot of money.
Then the world's largest and most ridiculous deal was born.
$7.2 million.
Calculated based on the purchasing power of gold, the price today is only a few hundred million US dollars. The United States bought Alaska, which was regarded as "cold and barren" by other countries and had no interest in it.
Unlike at that time, Russia was very satisfied with the price it could sell for, and spent a high price to buy a piece of frozen soil that was useless and inhabited.
Seward, the then U.S. Secretary of State, endured numerous criticisms and questions.
but,
Rich in forestry, fishery, oil and natural gas resources, his qualifications to become a circum-Arctic country have proven his wisdom for more than a hundred years.
Even if all these are ignored, the gold that triggered the gold rush was enough to buy twenty more Alaskas that year.
Not to mention a series of indescribable strategic values such as shipping, military, etc.
For example, if Alaska was still there during the Cold War, the Soviet Union could set up missiles to directly threaten the U.S. mainland.
Therefore, at that time, Russia had no idea what it was selling, just like it did not expect that Canada would later become an independent country. The sun they were wary of would never fall and collapse.
They did not realize that in a few decades or hundreds of years, science and technology would advance, missiles would appear, colonization would end, and the world would be transformed.
Human nature is so short-sighted that most people can only see the present, and any longer can only last a few years or more than ten years.
It is extremely difficult to make judgments about traveling through time and space.
So surrounding the origin of Alaska, perhaps the most amazing thing about this period of history...
It is to escape from the present moment, look far ahead decades, hundreds or even centuries later, and pursue huge returns beyond this era.
In this world, such people really exist...
...
Alaska, PM 9:35, somewhere in the sea one hundred kilometers away from the coastline,
A figure stood on the dark and boundless sea, looking extremely vast under the night, like a swaying dark ocean,
The plight of being alone in the sea without a vehicle or ship did not seem to affect him at all.
He just stared at the ocean, as if waiting for something,
Then at the moment when the induction recognition instrument makes a sound,
The man with dark brown hair gave a figure as deep as the ocean. He raised his gaze and looked at the endless night on the sea. Superman's vision was directly locked on a transnational plane that looked like a black dot.
Then....
A powerful momentum like a tsunami exploded directly!!!
The ability has not yet been activated, and the scale is already close to 100 meters. This characteristic for fighting against those huge A-level numbers already illustrates the strength of this figure.
——A level top!
Powerful beyond A-level, it feels like walking on flat ground above the sea.
This allows any slightly qualified participant present to instantly think of someone's characteristics in awe, the top combat power in the world in a night battle,
One of the thirteen known people outside of Midnight, the youngest A-level leader before the Pearl of the Night incident!
Wanderer's Song NO.VIII-Sea Disaster, Deloye Galvez.
The magic energy was stirring, and the ability had begun to accumulate strength. With his dark brown hair being blown around, Deloye's eyes as deep as the sea locked on the plane.
Tons of seawater were swirling around him, compressing and condensing into thin spears that could soar high into the air!
But at this moment,
The night sky breaks through! There is a flash of black and silver lines thousands of meters above the sky!
The sonic blast of wind pressure exploded the ring with a loud noise in an instant, and the golden and dark figure held a substantial silver light of destruction, swooping down from high altitude and smashing down on him wildly!
The moment he discovered that the other party appeared, Deloyer directly released his ability,
Dozens of thin spears compressed by sea water rose into the sky. This attack could even be penetrated by a warship, and collided with the sword light at high altitude to form a storm of magic energy!
Although he is relatively junior and has never met anyone else in person, as a high-ranking member of Class A, Deloyer is very clear about the existence of this class.
So the moment he sensed this figure, the other party's identity was already obvious.
Far away from the land, far away from the island,
All he could see was the battlefield on the pitch-black sea. Droyer looked at the blurry black figure that was completely unobstructed and rushed toward him hundreds of meters away.
With his superpower activated, he directly lifted dozens of cubic meters of seawater, compressed it into a barrier, and smashed it in front of him!
Boom————!
The moment the sword blade collided with the sea water, the sea surface tens of meters below was illuminated by lightning.
It is no surprise that the other party wanted to use seawater to conduct electricity, and controlled the power to transform pure water. Thousands of water spheres rose from the sea surface, and then transformed into deadly shapes in an instant.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Deroye raised his hand and launched a silent and brazen counterattack!
The lightning was ineffective, and I was trapped in a tight siege. The moment when the 'sea of needles' struck,
The blurred black figure raised his left hand and struck his side suddenly, causing the air to vibrate and create a gap. He turned around and rushed out with a flick of the hem of his burning clothes.
As the sea water pushed his body forward, Deloyer chased after him at high speed with an indifferent expression!
Far away from any human activities, the sky and ocean merge into black, and only the night wind whistles in the ears.
Two A-level top players staged one of the few confrontations in the real world at this moment!
The figure chased, flew high into the sky, and fell to the sea. In the majestic confrontation, the offensive reversed several times, and the aftermath of the roar of magic energy shook the sea hundreds of meters away.
boom--!
With a huge blow, Droyer once again forced his opponent back. In the moment between battles, waves appeared in his eyes as calm as the sea.
Consistent with sporadic information, thunder and lightning, shock wave... have multiple branches of ability. The sea water controlled by one's own ability cannot be controlled after being contacted by the other party.
Is the impurity sand...
The powerful means that could have been used for continuous control were limited, and a judgment based on this flashed through at this moment.
For example, he has just learned the basic efficiency of using magic energy, but he can immediately find a way to resolve his own means. The expression of his ability is longer than facing a large number of large-scale people.
In this level of fighting, the opponent seems to have more experience than you...
Thinking about how A-level masters rarely fight each other, how did the other party develop this kind of experience, Droyer seemed to be in a trance at this moment.
And in the non-stop confrontation, the darkness instantly seized this opportunity and exploded with speed.
Approaching his momentary gap!
Then at the moment when Deloyer himself was just one point away from resisting and the attack was about to be effective,
under the sea,
A huge, slender tentacle attached to a mechanical device suddenly shot out!
The black eyes widened, and he was caught off guard and barely managed to hold up his defense, but the tentacle that made people tremble for what it was, exploded with a power that was not inferior to an A-level strike.
Shoot the dark figure directly into the ocean!
From a little-known wanderer to the youngest A-level leader, the reason why Deloye Galvez can be called a "sea disaster" is not because of his extremely powerful abilities.
But among all the A-level top players, only he has it...
Biological weapons!
In the dark night ocean, with the sound of huge waves crashing on the sea surface, a sea monster of tens of meters like a terrifying legend emerged in the darkness.
It has tentacles and wings, and part of it is equipped with machinery. It is Droyer who controls this strange creature called 'Gnessa'.
Only then did most people in the night battle world know the power of this rare existence of biological weapons.
As a member of Wanderer's Song, his true strength showed up. From the moment the dark figure was shot into the sea, the battle situation had already tilted.
Facing a sea disaster in the sea would be absolutely disadvantageous even if it were a stronger A-level player than him.
Like the ultimate power, biological weapons are by no means as simple as one plus one for participants, let alone in the hands of an A-level superior.
Standing above Gnessey's head, with his fusion power ready, Droyer jumped on a tentacle and slowly descended into the sea water, arriving at his absolute home ground.
Then at the moment when the vision enters the sea surface,
His eyes, which had always been calm, suddenly opened wide!
Hiding in the dark depths of the ocean, the bright golden light of the pupil of his right eye lit up, he raised the moon-white bow that became even bigger after liberation upwards, and his chuckles heated up wantonly as the bubbles escaped,
The unfolding that is absolutely unprecedented in the ordinary, the night world where the sky and the sea blend together,
As if the melody is full of adventurous music, the body is filled with the power to fly in the wilderness, and several bow strings overlap and light up,
Under the ocean, the black-haired young man loosened the bowstring of the night vessel with a passionate expression!
Looking at the light, Droyer immediately pulled away and retreated. The wings of Groene's tentacles and the light of the magic circle were stacked in front of him.
Then the stars shot out in straight lines and brilliantly out of the night ocean!!!
The battlefield is silent, until the sea calms down again,
Only a tentacle lifted Droyer out of the sea. His figure was still as calm as the sea. He glanced down at the only long-distance space transmission device left in the sea.
And although it was only a minor injury, a few tentacles were indeed broken.
The night sea outside Alaska was silent. He looked calmly at the direction of North America where the flight was departing, and for some reason he did not take any further action...
