Mysterious as the wind, always with me.

Chapter 208

In the second year that Mark traveled to this world, apart from the big move of the Bill Empire to clean up the remaining power of the Ice and Snow Goddess at the beginning of the year, the guys from the Ten Thousand Worlds Unity Sect were making noise.

The power of Peter the Great basically quelled the domestic turmoil within two months. At the national level, this speed is enough to be called Thunder Action. After all, for other countries, it takes only two months to mobilize the country. Not enough, let alone sending troops.

The emperor acted so fast that other countries had no chance to intervene, and the war was over.

However, Peter the Great's troubles were not over.

Because someone rescued Anastasia, the Ice Maiden in a disguised form, the Ice Church survived in a relatively complete way.

Unlike the old grand dukes who were directly defeated, the Holy Maiden maintained a relatively complete system of church knights.

She is like a towering lighthouse on the other side of the ocean, guiding the direction of escape for all the people who are dissatisfied with the emperor's betrayal of the Ice and Snow Goddess.

Those nobles of the Bill Empire who were defeated but escaped the cleansing chose to take refuge in the Holy Maiden one after another. They took all the gold, silver and property they could take away, and continued to be loyal to them. The believers who believed in the Ice and Snow Goddess began an exaggerated campaign migration.

On the way, of course, they will inevitably be chased and killed by the imperial guards, but as long as they reach that place...

"Our destination doesn't matter at all, as long as we reach the east coast, the saint's promised ship will come to pick us up!"

Every Ice and Snow believer is so word of mouth.

In fact, it's also kind of close.

Thanks to the fact that Mark killed the entire Eastern Squadron of the Beer Empire, not to mention, he also aggressively blackmailed the emperor for 3000 million. After careful study, the Ice and Snow Maidens decided to use the name of Mark to make troubles, no, it was to save Ice believer.

Originally, the saint didn't have much money in her hands, and there were many nobles who couldn't stand it.

When the first duke family successfully escaped and donated half of their wealth, the poor saint, the poor ghost, had money on the spot.

How much money can a Duke's family that has been passed down for thousands of years have with the strength of the whole family?

It is an uncountable thing.

Anyway, the next day, Anastasia chartered all the ships in several ports in the northwest of the Wright Empire. There was only one mission, to let the captains follow the Ice Cultists to patrol the east coast of the Bill Empire, and rescue all the Ice Cultists that could be rescued. .

Originally, this was a very risky thing.

Interestingly, when the saint made this decision, Mark had not yet received the messenger of Peter the Great.On the surface, Mark, who was still in a state of madness, directly asked Conrad to drive a ghost ship all over the coast of Bill's Empire.

An extraordinary ghost ship plus an S+ deep-sea behemoth [Abyss Ghost Crab Queen], this is not an existence that the weak Bill Empire can fight against.

Conrad unceremoniously beat up two smaller Squadrons of the Bill Empire within three days, and sank several official transport ships flying the flag of the Bill Empire before he received the news that his boss Mark took money Yes, continue to maintain [Neutral].

This covered up the saint's rescue operation in disguise.

In fact, Emperor Peter couldn't figure out the relationship between Mark and the saint.

The ship used by the saint to escape had hung Mark's family crest and the flag of the God of Knowledge at the beginning, but was 'accidentally injured', and Mark went berserk on the spot, turning around and overturning the entire imperial squadron.

Who can guarantee whether their baby rebellious girl will repeat the old tricks and play this game on the boat?
Don't look at flying the flag of the Ice and Snow God Sect when saving people. When the imperial navy arrives and hits them with a single shot, it will be wonderful to change the flag for you at the critical moment.

A brace isn't out of the question either.

At that time, it will not be something that 3000 million Wright dollars can settle.

It is no wonder that Peter the Great was not angry, but this is the tragedy of not having sea power.

No matter how powerful the army is, there are no ships, no deep-sea monsters, and it will stop eating when it reaches the sea.

In the end, the emperor issued an order: "For the Ice and Snow Cultists, only chase them to the east coast, five kilometers away from the sea. Those beyond this range will be ignored."

The reason why this order was issued was because there was a hired Wright armed merchant ship. When the Ice and Snow Cultists who rescued people saw Bill's imperial army on the shore, they fired a few shots in a daze.

The weak 40mm small artillery is certainly not enough to deal with the imperial army flooding in from the shore, but the imperial army has long-range firepower and dare not fight back casually, which is very aggrieved.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the imperial army retreated and reported to the emperor, and received such instructions.

In fact, word of the matter reached Mark as well, and he even summoned Anastasia a little angrily.

Correct!
Summoned!
With the momentum of 'flash and come'.

In the living room of the Caribbean, Mark crossed his fingers and made fists, placed them on his lower abdomen, and glanced at the saint opposite with unfriendly eyes.

"His Royal Highness! You should be clear that you are using my deterrent power without my consent. I need a reasonable explanation, otherwise what you and your subordinates are doing is also against my [neutral] policy. a kind of blasphemy."

Mark's words were not loud, but not everyone could bear the heavy weight.

Natasha, the female knight next to the saint, wanted to defend the saint on the spot.

Anastasia stepped forward and made a standard curtsy:
"There is no doubt that this is our borrowing and encroachment on your prestige. I swear in the name of the Ice and Snow Goddess, the Ice and Snow Goddess will definitely repay this favor. However, before getting feedback from the goddess, please be sure to keep This kind of tacit understanding is very important to millions of believers."

A cold light flashed in Mark's eyes: "What if I have to break this tacit understanding?"

"Don't! If this doesn't appease you, let me go to 'the swimming pool', and I'm willing to accept it."

When the saint said this, there was no expression on her beautiful face, and she looked at Mark's overly handsome face calmly, without anger or joy, coupled with the white one-piece orchid dress she was wearing, plus The beautiful ice crystals that have been circling around her all this time seem both ethereal and sacred, so beautiful that it surpasses reality.

But what she said was actually using herself as a bargaining chip.

Isn't this like a martyrdom drama of sacrificing oneself to save millions of people.

In contrast, the person sitting on the armchair has become the big greedy devil.

The moment the saint's voice fell, Helena, Rosalind, Marianne, and Yolanda all turned their heads and turned their eyes to Mark.

Not necessarily every pair of eyes has blame or contempt, more, maybe just want to see how Mark does.

But this is enough to form an invisible pressure on Mark.

but……

Mark laughed.

Bad laugh!

"Your Highness, do you misunderstand my character?"

For a moment, Anastasia thought that she had really misjudged Mark, and felt that his heart might be extremely noble...

Unexpectedly, Mark's next sentence was astonishingly:
"You want me to keep a tacit understanding? Yes! You have to pay more!"
