Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 692: Looming crisis

The Dome Palace, Santa Cruz, the capital of the Hilius Empire.

A magnificent coffin engraved with the emblem of the national bird, the white spoonbill, has been parked in the large chamber for a full week.

Although Prince Manolo was assassinated and died, but with the help of rune-style frozen corpses, coupled with the sealing of the top coffin is good enough, at this time there is no strange smell.

But the atmosphere in the hall was still cold.

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

"People... haven't found them yet?"

Philip II didn't see any joy or anger on his face, but anyone who knew him knew that this state of expressionlessness was actually the most terrifying. It's like a gunpowder keg that has ignited the fuse, and it may explode at any time.

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

"Your Majesty, you can be sure that they are still alive, but they can't be found by all means, even if the curse is cast through the medium, it will sink into the sea.

We speculate that it should be high-level transcendents and extremely capable fortune-tellers. "

In a short period of time, the flagship "Santa Cruz Pearl", which was inexplicably bloody, could find the bodies of most of the personnel. The entire ship was also sent back to Hilius by two frightened frigates in the first place.

However, among the main members of the mission, the two most powerful members, the sword master Pedro and the official wizard "Spider", were missing.

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

As soon as the voice fell, the hall immediately seemed to be quiet before the storm, and even the air was directly frozen.

Although the strength of many elites here must be higher than that of Philip II, even the peak knight is still a little breathless under inexplicable pressure, this is the power from the secular imperial power.

Before possessing the extraordinary strength of Tier 4, no one can ignore this right.

At this time, of course, the emperor's majesty had reason to be angry.

When the powerful power of the titled knight spreads in the blood, and continues to bless future generations, the royal family members of all countries are not very prosperous.

In the generation of Philip II, the entire Kingdom of Hilius, even with his cousin Prince Manolo, is only three male members. And for some indescribable reason, the prince who loves art has not left any heirs.

This is a major event related to the continuation of the royal family. Regardless of what the minds of the subjects with their own plans are, Philip II absolutely did not want this to happen.

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

It takes a little longer.

In this calm atmosphere, some of the elderly and frail subjects have sweated on their foreheads, and even began to falter.

suddenly.

Da da da..

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

"Theresa, why are you here?"

Seeing the visitor, Philip II's expressionless face couldn't help but relax slightly, and he quickly stood up and carefully supported his queen to sit on the wide throne.

That appearance seems to be caring for a fragile precious porcelain. In fact, the condition of the queen at this time is indeed similar to porcelain. Although the limbs are still slender, from the slightly raised lower abdomen, 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 23, looks as thin as paper and has a pitiful look in her eyes, which is in line with the aesthetics of the current nobles. Stretching out a slender hand like a little girl, gently smoothing the deep wrinkles between the eyebrows of Philip II, it is easier for people to feel pity.

The almost solidified atmosphere in the hall instantly loosened, and all the subjects were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Teresa came here and didn't do anything and said nothing, a group of subjects couldn't help but cast grateful glances at her.

"Okay, okay, okay, it's okay to come out and meet people to breathe."

Philip II started his political marriage from the beginning. In order to gain the emperor's throne, he only focused on the identity of the Habsburg princess. Now, after more than three years of getting along, his attitude has changed significantly.

I have loved my wife, who is almost half his age, from the bottom of my heart.

I don’t know if it is because of the deep wisdom and charm of the Princess Teresa, behind which is the Frisian Kingdom, which is rich in finances to carry half of the empire’s tax revenue, or the first heir that he obtained after two marriages—— Crown Prince Aldrich.

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

Having received the blessing of the former Archbishop of "Eternal Fire" in advance, now the "Fire Sect" Pope-Tier 4 Priest Wycliffe, there is almost no need to worry that he will die midway just like a commoner.

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

Although they had only had their first heir after three years of marriage, no one in the entire Hilius Empire now has the same status as the Queen.

After a short episode, we return to the topic again,

It's just that the Queen is here, and Philip II has naturally tempered his temper, and the atmosphere is obviously not as depressing as before.

"Since it happened in Tulip's territorial waters, they can't bear the blame for the assassination of the prince. A diplomatic note will be issued to ask them to hand over the murderer within two months!"

Without letting his subjects guess, the emperor who seemed to have recovered his composure directly explained what he meant.

The people who can stand here may be greedy or cruel, but none of them are stupid. The power of the country is not an angry man, and the possibility of arrogance is rare.

Even if it might be a little outrageous because of the "proposal" request, the Tulips have no motive to send out an extraordinary person of at least the title of knight to assassinate a prince who is not threatening.

but.

No matter who moved their hands, they must respond. If the prince is assassinated and nothing is said, the title of the world's most powerful country will soon become a joke, and the rule of the Hilius Empire will be shaken around the world.

When the subjects below heard the deadline, they were stunned at the same time, and everyone was very sensitive to this time, because it happened to be the time for the voyage from the mainland to the new world!

If it is in the old continent, it may evolve into a full-scale war if it is not careful. Obviously, the emperor is preparing to open a breakthrough in the new continent with the strongest strength on his side.

Field Marshal Favman, who was wearing a military uniform with a shining medal on his chest, had already understood the meaning of Philip II, and stepped forward like a towering city wall, saluting:

"Your Majesty, although the "Eternal Fire" church stationed in Novigrad, the "Holy City" has never given up struggling, there may be one final battle to be fought, but there is no problem in drawing a certain amount of troops."

King Philip II, who sits high on the throne, nodded slowly, then turned to look at the chief think tank who had just done an errand:

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

"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, the naval base of Falettis has stationed a quasi-legendary, two second-class ships, and six battleships above the fourth-class. Except for Falettis, all the forces of the Tulip countries in the New World Not too strong.

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

There should be a legendary battleship in the New World, which also appeared in the Kingdom of Ilya. For the time being, we don't even know the name of the mysterious battleship.

According to the intelligence of eyewitnesses, its legendary warship skills should be an ultra-long-range artillery bombing ability. Among the five legendary warships we dispatched, the attack power is the strongest, and to a certain extent, it is immune to artillery attacks. 】, should be foolproof. "

After a pause, Anduen continued:

"The trickiest thing in the Falitis colony is probably the rear admiral Ivan Garriott who established the Dragoon Pirates, nicknamed the White Knights, and a low-key gem school in the Far Sails. Great wizard.

When the time comes, our ‘Cursed School’’s chief peak wizard "Death Messenger", Your Excellency, will personally take action.

From the "Fire Tribunal" in charge of [Holy Sword Revotin], the great knight Mark Lenn, who has made great contributions in the Reformation, can set off with the fleet.

In addition, in order to deal with the high-ranking totem **** "Mother of Water" Melo, who has already gone to the New World, the Lord "Fire of Thorns", whose stronghold is on the west coast.

In terms of the extraordinary power at the top, it is enough to crush them! "

The Admiral and Secretary of the Navy Bancrot also took a step forward and bowed:

"Your Majesty, with regard to the conventional fleet, the power of the church within the Invincible Fleet has been completely wiped out. It is more than enough to draw one-half of the main battleship of the Third Squadron to defeat Tulip."

Now the invincible fleet of Hilius, UU reading www. uukanshu.com has more than 310 main battleships of level 3 and above, and the total fleet size has exceeded 2,200. Taking out half of the Third Squadron, it also surpassed fifty Tier 3 battleships!

"Okay, that's it! If they can surrender the murderer who killed the prince and surrender enough benefits to the empire, they might be able to let them go this time. If they are uninterested, they will be completely driven out of the New World!"

Bang!

Philip II slapped **** the armrest of the throne, completely finalizing the plan for this action.

At this time, Ivan and Livina, who are far apart by the ocean, don't know yet.

Two days ago, they were still planning how to count others, but they didn't expect that the bunch of bankers who were full of bad water had already acted first.

Moreover, the dignified Hilius Empire is not moving, and a movement is a thunderbolt.

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