Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 692: The imminent crisis

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

A luxurious 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 freezing of the corpse, coupled with the sealing of the top coffin is good enough, at this time there is no peculiar smell.

But the atmosphere in the hall is still cold.

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

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

There is no joy or anger on Philip II's face, but anyone who knows him knows that this state of expressionlessness is actually the most terrifying. It's like a gunpowder barrel that has ignited a 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 they are cursed through the medium, they will be sinking into the sea.

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

On the flagship "Santa Cruz Pearl" that was inexplicably blood-washed in a short period of time, the bodies of most of the personnel can be found. The entire ship was also sent back to Greece by two frightened frigates in the first time. Reus.

However, among the main members of the mission, the two most powerful members, the sword master Pedro and the official wizard "Spider", are 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 the matter, spent a whole week and still found nothing. Obviously, the matter is far from being looted 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 if 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 has reason to be angry.

While 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 Sirius, 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 the thoughts of the subjects who have their own plans, Philip II absolutely did not want this to happen.

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

Slightly longer time.

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 sounded, and 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 people coming, 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 large throne.

The 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 twenty-three years old, looks as thin as paper, with a pitiful look in her eyes, which fits the aesthetics of the nobles at present. Stretching out a slender hand like a little girl, gently smoothing the deep wrinkles between the eyebrows of Philip II, it is easier to feel pity.

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

Although Teresa came here without doing anything and saying 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."

From the very beginning, Philip II started the political marriage. 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 sincerely loved his wife, who is almost half his age.

I don’t know if it’s because of the wisdom and charm that Princess Teresa has hidden deep in, behind the rich financial resources to carry half of the empire’s tax revenue, or he won the first one after two marriages. Heir-Crown Prince Aldrich.

Yes, 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 prince of the Hilius Empire, destined to inherit the throne of the imperial emperor.

Being blessed in advance by the former Archbishop of "Eternal Fire", and now the "Fire Cult" 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 interlude, 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 the territorial waters of Tulips, they can't bear the blame for the assassination of the prince. A diplomatic note is issued to ask them to hand over the murderer within two months!"

Neither did he let his subjects guess. The emperor who seemed to have recovered his calmness 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 they may be a little outraged by the request for "marriage proposal," the Tulips have no motive to send out an extraordinary person of at least the rank of knight to assassinate a prince who is not threatening.

But.

No matter who moved the hand, 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. Everyone was very sensitive to this time, because it happened to be the voyage time from the mainland to the New World!

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

The Field Marshal Favman, who has a shining medal on his chest, has 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 not given up struggling, there may be one final battle to be fought, but there is no problem in drawing a certain amount of troops."

Philip II, who is 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. In addition to Falettis, the Tulip nations are in the New World. Are not too strong.

In addition, the intelligence personnel have sent a letter back 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 technology should be an ultra-long-range artillery bombing ability. Of the five legendary warships dispatched from our side, the strongest attack power can still be immune to artillery attacks to a certain extent. [ Flame Mingguang], it 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 player in the Far Sails. Gem School’s Great Wizard.

At that time, our ‘Cursed School’’s chief peak wizard "Death Messenger", your Excellency, will personally take action.

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

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

The extraordinary power at the top level is enough to crush them! "

Marshal and Secretary of the Navy Bancrot also stepped forward and bowed:

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

Now the invincible fleet of Hilius~IndoMTL.com~ has more than 310 main battleships above Tier 3, and the total fleet size has exceeded 2,200. With 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, maybe they can be let go this time. If they are not interested, they will be completely driven out of the new world. !"

Boom!

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

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.

Furthermore, the dignified Hilius Empire does not move, and a move is a thunderbolt.

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