Chapter 447 Shocking News
It is obviously a grave sin to blatantly disrupt the enfeoffment ceremony hosted by the emperor himself. Even Catherine, the eldest princess, would be severely punished.
But this time the situation is a bit special, because in addition to being the eldest princess of the Griffin Kingdom, Catherine is also a hero who saves the entire continent. The monarchs of other countries were very grateful to her. Although they gave a bunch of gifts, they were still not enough to express their gratitude to Catherine, so they all promised to help Catherine when she was in trouble.
In this case, no matter how angry the emperor was, he would not be able to deal with it directly. What's more, he is still the party in the wrong this time. If Catherine is punished forcibly, it will definitely attract interference from various countries in the mainland. Although the Griffin Kingdom is considered one of the powerful countries on the mainland, it still dares not offend the four major kingdoms of the Empire of Light, the Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom at the same time.
Therefore, the issue of how to deal with Catherine embarrassed the emperor. Severe punishment is afraid of attracting interference from other countries. If you don't punish yourself severely, it will be difficult to regain your own face. Nothing works left or right, but this matter cannot be delayed. I remember that the emperor is like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do.
At this time, a special envoy from the Orc Kingdom hurriedly came to the Griffin Kingdom and asked to meet the emperor. He brought extremely shocking news, which immediately confused the emperor. The six gods have no master, and they don’t know what to do.
In fact, the news brought by the special envoy was not long. There was only one sentence, that is, the volcanoes on the bottom of the North Sea suddenly erupted recently, lifting many adjacent volcanic islands. In the end, these islands were connected to form a large island hundreds of miles in diameter, which actually connected the mainland and a large island in the Devil's Islands.
Be aware. In fact, the Devil's Islands are, in general, like a flat belt from north to south. The northernmost one is almost entering the polar circle, while the southernmost one is the southernmost point of the coastline of the Empire of Light, with a length of nearly 20,000 miles. The closest distance between this belt and the mainland is in the north, only one or two hundred kilometers, and the farthest distance from the mainland is in the south, which is more than 2,000 kilometers.
This volcanic eruption occurred extremely suddenly on the northern coast. So much so that it connects Alcatraz Island to the mainland.
Obviously, this is a disaster for the mainland. Because those demon clan troops came from another dimension, and no one knew how many there were. Moreover, they are all capable of fire spells, and each of them is tough and good at fighting. The terrifying reputation of the Burning Legion is built on victory after victory.
Take the Griffin Kingdom as an example. The country was attacked by the Burning Legion several times. There was even a time of capture. The father of the current emperor and the father of the old mage both died heroically in the last burning disaster.
In addition to the Griffin Kingdom, the losses to the Orcs were also extremely heavy, so much so that the Nagas, the most powerful race in the Orc Kingdom, had to be placed on the eastern coast. Coupled with many other powerful orcs, they could barely deal with the Burning Legion's surprise attack. But if you want to defeat the opponent, you have to use the power of the entire continent. In the last burning natural disaster, the patriarch and his wife of the Diyu Clan, one of the five major orc tribes, were killed. From this we can also see how terrifying the Burning Legion is.
In the past. The Burning Legion coming across the sea by pirate ships is enough to bring disaster to the mainland. But now, the Devil's Islands are connected to the mainland. In this case, wouldn't the Burning Legion's troops be able to march straight in? In that case, the opponent's size will definitely increase several times. Moreover, they can now back up the Devil Islands and have a supply base, unlike when they came across the sea before. It has no foundation at all. Once it consumes too much, it will be easily defeated.
Taking it all together, the Burning Legion's next attack will definitely be more ferocious and difficult to deal with than any other attack in history. No wonder the emperor's eyes were blank after hearing the news, and he was almost stunned on the spot.
Fortunately, some of the ministers were still sober, especially the wise Grand Duke Hercules. Be the first to react. He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the matter has already happened. There is no point in being anxious. It is better to summon the ministers together immediately and discuss countermeasures quickly!"
"That's right!" The emperor finally woke up and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, call me all the senior officials of the empire! Now!"
"Yes!" The guards outside hurriedly agreed and went out to deliver the order.
But Hercules suddenly said at this moment: "Your Majesty, I think there are two special people who need to be found!"
"Who?" the emperor asked hurriedly.
"One is the eldest princess Catherine, and the other is young Earl Stephen!" Hercules said unhurriedly.
"What?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned. It was obvious that he was still worried about what happened a few days ago, so he said directly: "No need, this time we are discussing important matters, two little boys, come here It doesn’t matter if you don’t come!”
"No, no!" Hercules said immediately: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has a very high prestige on the mainland. To put it bluntly, she may be more effective than you in asking other countries for help. She is so big I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate if we didn't summon her, because maybe we would have to ask the dwarves and elves for help!"
"This?" When the emperor heard this, he realized that this was indeed the truth, so he had to say: "Okay, Catherine can come, but forget about that little Stephen guy. He didn't even give me any face in front of everyone, if not For the sake of you and the teacher, I would have chopped off his head long ago!"
"This~" Hercules then smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that he is also one of the people who have to be invited, and his importance is even higher than that of the eldest princess!"
"Huh?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately said disapprovingly: "Hercules, do you think too highly of your son-in-law? Why didn't I see that he has any abilities that make him worthy of me?"
"Your Majesty, I am dedicated to serving the public good and will never give up!" Hercules smiled bitterly and said: "That little Stephen is really clueless, because this person is very resourceful and can often come up with other clever plans to use the smallest possible means. The price creates miracles. For example, in the matter of killing the Lich King this time, although the eldest princess clearly took the credit, in fact, he was the one who made the plans and even implemented them, as you know."
"This~" After hearing this, the emperor immediately hesitated.
Seeing this, Hercules hurriedly continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter. It is related to the safety of the entire continent? Although little Stephen may not be able to solve this matter, even if there is a little more hope, it is worth it. He called! I hope your majesty will take state affairs first!"
"Humph!" The emperor snorted dissatisfied, and then said with a cold face: "Since you strongly recommend it, then I have no choice but to give you face and call that **** over!"
"Yes, yes, thank you Your Majesty!" Hercules thanked him hurriedly.
A few hours later, all the ministers in the city arrived, and even Catherine, who was training the new army outside the city, was not late. Only Lao Xie and the old mage came relatively late because they lived in the magic tower.
There are only about twenty or thirty real senior officials in the Griffin Kingdom. After they all arrived, only half of the meeting hall was filled.
Because of Catherine's noble status, she sat below the emperor, while Lao Xie had the least seniority, so he could only sit in the back, far away from each other. Lao Xie was extremely dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing he could do about it. So, after sitting down, the angry Lao Xie immediately closed his eyes and rested his mind, making up his mind to go to sleep and not cause trouble here. In fact, if the old mage hadn't forced him to come, he wouldn't have been willing to come.
After everyone arrived, the special envoy of the Orcs told what happened again. Naturally, such a bombshell news caused another sensation. Even Lao Xie couldn't help being secretly surprised.
At the same time, I thought to myself, ‘This doesn’t seem good? I have a sworn feud with the devil. If they gain power, they will have to take revenge on me. Although Zan may not be afraid of them, the teacher doesn't feel comfortable being worried about these bastards, right? No, I have to find a way to suppress these **** without making them too arrogant. ’
Thinking of this, although Lao Xie still looked indifferent on the surface, he was secretly paying attention to it in his heart.
After the special envoy conveyed the news, the emperor said with a cold face: "Everyone, this is the news. Although the newly formed volcanic islands are still very hot now, according to the estimates of the Orc Kingdom, at most half a year, that area will The volcanoes on the island will calm down and the temperature will drop accordingly. However, when the temperature is still high, the Burning Legion can go out at will. But for us, the temperature there is very terrible, and ordinary soldiers cannot enter at all. . In other words, in half a year, the Burning Legion can attack us from the island, but we can only defend passively and have no power to fight back! This is obviously extremely disadvantageous to us, so I invite you to discuss countermeasures. If you have any ideas, please tell me immediately! ”
After the emperor finished speaking, the hall fell into silence. Everyone was thinking about countermeasures, and no one spoke. The emperor also knew that this matter could not be rushed. After all, this matter was too big and no one could come up with a solution in a short while. So he waited patiently.
After more than half an hour, Hercules broke the silence and said: "Your Majesty, that island is naturally formed, and there is obviously nothing we can do about it. Therefore, as of now, the only way is We can only guard against it. Fortunately, it will take half a year for the opponent to attack. With this time buffer, we can make sufficient preparations. Fortunately, the island is not very wide, only more than a hundred miles away. This small terrain is extremely advantageous to us. As long as we establish a solid offensive on the outside and gather the elite forces from all over the continent, it won't be too difficult to stop them!"
