Chapter 669: Capturing the Queen
Queen John is in Calais at this moment. Li Kan believes that Queen John must have mentioned something to the King of France and Spain about the power of the Tang Dynasty's artillery.

However, the Franco-Spanish fleet still launched an attack on the Tang Dynasty regardless. It seems that the Franco-Spanish king is not only stupid but also a person who can easily listen to other people's opinions.

Looking back at the current ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zheng, he is a man of great talent, wisdom, bravery, and both civil and military achievements. Any words of praise for Li Zheng are not excessive.

Li Zheng didn't know what was going on in Li Kan's mind. Seeing that Li Kan seemed to be distracted, he smiled at him.

"The enemy is about to reach my face, what are you waiting for, Li Qing?"

Li Kan blushed and quickly apologized, then turned around to command the Tang navy.

In just a moment, the French and Spanish naval fleet had already roared into the range of the Tang Dynasty's divine cannon.

Li Kan stood in front of a huge ship, but did not order the Tang fleet to fire.

It was not until most of the Franco-Spanish fleet entered the range of the Shenwu cannon that Li Kan's face suddenly darkened and he waved his hand.

In an instant, the soldiers of the Dazhen Navy lit the fuse of the Shenwu Cannon.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A deafening roar rang out, and the powerful cannons poured shells towards the French and Spanish fleet.

The powerful shells roared and smashed into the warships of the Franco-Spanish fleet, turning them into a sea of ​​fire.

For a moment, screams and wails were heard in the French and Spanish fleet.

The naval commanders of the French and Spanish fleet were all stunned. Why was the Tang Dynasty's artillery so far-reaching and so powerful?

A moment ago, they were still full of confidence and wanted to rush up and teach these invaders a lesson.

According to past experience, they should sweep away the enemy with unstoppable force, then return triumphantly to enjoy flowers and praise.

But the cruel reality was that they did not encounter the enemy's warships, but they themselves had been defeated.

These French and Spanish naval soldiers finally understood why their neighboring country, John, was suddenly destroyed by these Tang people.

They thought it was the young queen's problem, but now it seems that is not the case.

As the Shenwu cannon continued to roar, the sea area where the French and Spanish fleet was located was almost subjected to carpet bombing, but it seemed that this was not the case at this time.

Under such intensive artillery fire, the Franco-Spanish fleet was almost wiped out. Only a few sailors jumped off the warships and managed to survive in the vast ocean, but there were only a few of them.

Then there were the few warships in the rear that had not yet had time to enter the Shenwu cannon. In their eyes, there seemed to be an invisible line of life and death on the sea ahead.

Anyone who entered that line was bombed into pieces by the artillery of the Tang State on the opposite side.

The French and Spanish warships reacted quickly and turned around and fled back to Calais like crazy, as if the people behind them were not humans but demons that devoured humans.

So far, every enemy who has faced the Tang Dynasty's Shenwu Cannon has been frightened by its unpredictable power.

And that’s the power of technology.

The army led by Li Zheng completed a sweep of the French and Spanish fleet with the dual blessing of martial arts skills and epoch-making technology.

……

After the Tang emperor and his ministers finished discussing the affairs of France and the West in the hall, Li Kan and Liu Lin also took their leave.

Li Zheng waved to Li Ke, and Li Ke hurried forward.

"Bring the Queen of John to the palace."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke responded without changing his expression, but he felt relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he did not do anything to Her Majesty the Queen.

A moment later, Victoria was brought up by the soldiers. Li Ke spoke with great insight.

"Your Majesty, I retire."

Li Zheng nodded and waved his hand to signal the guards in the hall to retreat. For a moment, only Li Zheng and Victoria were left in the hall.

As for Li Zheng's safety, what a joke! The current emperor of the Tang Dynasty often leads his troops into the enemy's territory.

After everyone left, Li Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at Her Majesty the Queen of John. The many Victorias who were brought into the hall also looked up at the Lord of Tang without fear.

Speaking of which, because Victoria escaped too quickly and Her Majesty the Queen did not go to the battlefield in person, this was the first time the two met.

Her Majesty the Queen actually did not expect that the Tang army that defeated John and France without any resistance was led by the Tang Emperor himself.

The Tang Kingdom was far away from John Kingdom and France and Spain, and separated by an ocean. The fact that the emperor personally went to war showed that he was a warlike monarch.

Thinking of this, Victoria spoke first.

"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you can kill me if you want. As the Queen of John, I will never surrender."

The older people get, the more afraid they are of death. The young Queen showed her demeanor as the Queen of John.

Li Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the hall, looked at Victoria's appearance and a trace of anger rose in his heart.

Then he took a deep breath and regained his composure.

Li Zheng said to the Queen of John with an expressionless face.

"Your Majesty is a virtuous woman, but the life and death of all the royal family members of your kingdom of John, from the elderly over sixty to the hungry infants, depends on my will."

After saying this, looking at Victoria who looked pale, Li Zheng continued.

"More than 20 million ordinary people in your John country have been slaves of the Tang Dynasty for generations. Everything in your John country is in my hands. I wonder if all this is insignificant to you, Your Majesty?"

After hearing Li Zheng's indifferent voice and the coldness in his words, Victoria was scared.

She was really afraid that Li Zheng would kill all the royal family of King John. The Kingdom of John had a long history, and it had only been passed on to Victoria for a few years, but she had already let the Kingdom of John be conquered by the Tang Dynasty.

If even the bloodline of King John's family cannot be preserved, Victoria will not be able to rest in peace even in death.

Seeing Victoria turned pale with fear at his words, Li Zheng smiled with satisfaction.

He was really afraid that Victoria was seeking death. For Li Zheng, killing the Queen of John was no easier than crushing an ant, but Li Zheng wanted more than that.

He wanted the Queen of John to submit to him and to the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, he wanted the arrogant John to submit to the descendants of Yan and Huang.

As long as Her Majesty the Queen of John has a weakness, it will be easy to gain her submission.

In the hall, Victoria was trembling all over and a hoarse voice was heard.

"What exactly do you want me to do to let me, John, go?"

The pretty face of the Queen of John was pale. Although there was a look of fear on her face full of alien colors, her words still carried the arrogance that a king of a fallen country should not have. The anger that Li Zheng had just suppressed in his heart rose again.

He hooked his finger at Victoria and said coldly.

"Kneel down for me."

A look of struggle emerged on Victoria's face. After hesitating for a long time, she knelt down in front of Li Zheng.
