Extraordinary Sailing

Santa Cruz, the capital of the Cyrus Empire, the Dome Palace.

A luxurious coffin engraved with the emblem of the national bird, the white spoonbill, and gold-plated, has been parked in the large conference hall for a whole week.

Although Prince Manolo was assassinated to death, the body was frozen with the help of rune techniques, and the top-level coffin was sealed well enough, so there was no peculiar smell coming out at this time.

But the atmosphere in the hall is still cold and solemn.

A group of subjects, including the prime minister, the field marshal, the navy marshal, the three military and political leaders, and the chief confidant of the think tank, the great wizard Anduen, all lowered their heads tacitly and did not dare to look at the emperor sitting on the throne His Majesty.

"Has no one been found yet?"

There was no joy or anger on Philip II's face, but anyone who knew him well knew that this expressionless state was actually the most terrifying. It's like a powder keg that has been ignited and may explode at any time.

Anduin had to bite the bullet and take a step forward:

"Your Majesty, we can be sure that they are still alive, but we can't find their traces by all means, even if we cast a curse through a medium, there will be no trace.

We speculate that it should be a high-level transcendent and an extremely capable fortune-teller. "

On the flagship "Santa Cruz Pearl", which was inexplicably bloodbathed in a short period of time, the bodies of most of the personnel could be found, and the entire ship was sent back to Sirius immediately by two frightened frigates.

But among the main personnel of the mission, there are only two missing members with the strongest force value, the sword master Pedro and the official wizard "Spider".

Only by finding the two of them can we really trace the truth of the whole incident, but the great wizard Anduen who led the incident spent a whole week and still found nothing. Obviously, the matter is far from being looted on the surface.

As soon as the words fell, the hall immediately felt like the calm before the storm, and even the air froze.

Although the strength of many elite figures here is higher than that of Philip II, even the peak knights are still a little breathless under the inexplicable pressure. This is the power from the secular imperial power.

No one can ignore this right before possessing the extraordinary strength of the fourth level.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor certainly had reason to be furious.

While the powerful power of the titled knight spreads in the bloodlines and continues to bless the descendants, the descendants of the royal families of various countries are not very prosperous.

In the generation of Philip II, the entire Kingdom of Cyrus, even with the addition of his cousin Prince Manolo, is nothing more than three male members. And because of some indescribable reason, this art-loving prince has not left any heirs so far.

This is a major matter related to the continuation of the royal family. No matter what the thoughts of those ministers who have their own plans, Philip II absolutely does not want this kind of thing to happen.

For the royal family, the assassination of a prince is already a heavy loss.

A little longer.

In this calm atmosphere, some old and weak subjects were already sweating on their foreheads, and even began to crumble.

suddenly.

Da da da..

The crisp sound of high-heeled shoes sounded, and a beautiful figure wearing a luxurious low-cut court dress with a slightly thin body appeared at the gate of the palace accompanied by a court lady.

"Teresa, why are you here?"

Seeing the person coming, Philip II couldn't help but relax his expressionless face, he quickly stood up and carefully helped his queen to sit on the spacious throne together.

That look seems to be taking care of a piece of fragile precious porcelain, but in fact, the state of the queen at this time is indeed similar to that of porcelain. Although the limbs are still slender, but from the slightly raised belly, it can be easily judged that she is about to usher in a new identity.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about me, I just want to sit with you for a while when you are unhappy."

The young queen who has just turned twenty-three years old, with a thin appearance like paper, coupled with delicate and pitiful eyes, is very in line with the aesthetics of the current nobles. Stretching out her delicate hands like a little girl gently smoothed the deep wrinkles between Philip II's brows, which made people feel pity.

The almost frozen atmosphere in the hall instantly relaxed, and all the subordinates were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Teresa came here and didn't do anything or say anything, a group of subordinates couldn't help but cast grateful glances at her.

"Okay, okay, okay, it's good to come out and meet people to get some air."

Philip II initiated a political marriage from the very beginning, and only focused on the identity of the Habsburg princess in order to obtain the throne of the emperor. Now, after more than three years of getting along, his attitude has changed very obviously.

He has already loved his wife who is almost half his age from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know if it's because of the wisdom and charm hidden in this Princess Teresa, the Frisian Kingdom with strong financial resources behind it, which shoulders half of the empire's tax revenue, or the first heir he obtained after two marriages—— Crown Prince Aldrich.

That's right, this lucky man who was determined to be the male heir by divine magic was given a name before he was born, and was even directly canonized as the crown prince of the Cyrus Empire, destined to inherit the throne of the emperor of the empire.

Blessed in advance by the former Archbishop of the "Eternal Flame" and now the Pope of the "Fire Sect" - Wycliffe, the fourth-rank clergyman, there is almost no need to worry about dying halfway like a commoner.

If most royal families can have two or three children, it is enough for the whole country to celebrate.

Although they had only had their first heir after three years of marriage, there is no one in the entire Sirius Empire who has a status comparable to that of Her Majesty the Empress.

After a brief interlude, back to business.

It's just that with Her Majesty the Queen here, Philip II calmed down very naturally, and the atmosphere was obviously not as depressing as before.

"Since the incident happened in Tulip's territorial waters, they cannot absolve themselves of the responsibility for the prince's assassination. Send a diplomatic note and ask them to hand over the murderer within a time limit. Let's set the time within two months!"

He didn't let his subjects guess wildly, the emperor who seemed to have regained his composure directly explained his thoughts.

The people who can stand here may be greedy and cruel, but none of them are fools. The national power is not an idiot who is angry at the crown, and the possibility of acting on his will is very small.

Even though there might be some indignation due to the request of the "marriage proposal", the Tulip people have absolutely no motive to dispatch extraordinary beings of at least the title knight level to assassinate a prince who is not a threat.

but.

No matter who moves the hand, they must respond with a strong force! If the prince is assassinated and does not express anything, the title of the world's most powerful country will soon become a joke, and the rule of the Cyrus Empire around the world will also be seriously shaken.

When the subordinates below heard the deadline, they were shocked at the same time. Everyone was very sensitive to this time, because it happened to be the sailing time from the mainland to the New World!

If you deploy troops in the Old Continent, it may turn into an all-out war if you are not careful.

Seeing that the religious war is gradually coming to dawn, Cyrus also needs a few years to recuperate. Obviously, His Majesty the emperor is preparing to open a breakthrough in the new continent where he is the strongest.

Field Marshal Faffman, who was dressed in military uniform and covered with shining medals on his chest, had already understood Philip II's meaning, stepped forward like a towering city wall, and saluted:

"Your Majesty, although the Church of the "Eternal Flame" stationed in the "Holy City" of Novigrad has never given up struggling, and there may be a final decisive battle to be fought, there is still no problem in mobilizing a certain amount of troops."

Philip II, who was on the throne, nodded slowly, then turned to look at the head of the think tank who had just messed up an errand:

"Well, Mr. Anduin, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, one quasi-legendary, two second-tier ships, and six battleships above fourth-tier are stationed at Phalitis' naval base all year round. Except for Phalitis, the forces of the Tulip nations in the New World are all Not too strong.

In addition, the intelligence personnel have sent a message back that the new legendary battleship [Emerald Corona] and [Steam Fortress] are both in Phalatis.

There should be a legendary battleship in the New World, which also appeared in the Kingdom of Ilia back then. We don’t even know the name of the mysterious battleship for the time being.

According to the intelligence of eyewitnesses, its legendary battleship skill should be an ultra-long-range bombardment and bombing capability. Among the five legendary battleships dispatched by our side, the most powerful and immune to artillery attacks to a certain extent [Raging Flame Mingguang] ], it should be safe. "

After a pause, Anduin continued:

"The most troublesome thing in the Phalatis colony should be the Rear Admiral Ivan Garriott who established the 'Dragon Cavalry Pirates', nicknamed the White Knight, and the low-key 'Gem School' in the Far Sail Territory. Great wizard.

At that time, your Excellency "Death Messenger", the chief peak wizard of our "Curse School", will personally deal with them.

Mark Lunn, the peak knight who is in charge of the "Holy Sword Revordin" and has made great contributions in the religious reformation, can set off with the fleet.

In addition to withdrawing from the religious wars, in order to deal with the high-ranking totem god "Mother of Water" Merlot whose stronghold is on the west coast, he has already gone to the New World, His Excellency "Fire of Thorns".

In terms of extraordinary power at the top, we are enough to crush them! "

Afterwards, Admiral and Minister of the Navy Bancroft also took a step forward, bowing and saying:

"Your Majesty, in terms of the regular fleet, the power of the Church within the Armada has been completely wiped out. It is more than enough to deploy one-half of the main battleships of the Third Squadron to defeat Tulip."

Now Sirius' Armada has more than 310 main battleships above the third rank, and the total size of the fleet has exceeded 2,200 ships. Take out half of the third squadron, and there are more than fifty third-tier battleships!

This is a powerful force that many countries cannot produce with the power of the whole country.

"Okay, that's it! If they can hand over the murderer who killed the prince and transfer enough benefits to the empire, maybe they can let them go this time. If they don't know the truth, drive them out of the New World!"

Boom!

Philip II slapped hard on the armrest of the throne, completely finalizing the plan for this operation.

At this time, Aiwen and Liwena, who were far away across the ocean, didn't know yet.

Two days ago, they were still planning how to plot against others, but they never expected that the group of bankers who were full of bad habits had already acted first.

Moreover, if the mighty Cyrus Empire does not move, it will be thunderous.

I swear to let everyone see that this world's most powerful country is still an existence that everyone needs to look up to!
