in the name of the queen

Chapter 262 I’m waiting for the enemy

Amid the flowers, applause and secret rejoicing of the people of Xidai, the Fourth Fleet left the Kingdom of Golden Kite, went to sea along the wide Xidai River, and returned from the northern sea to Port Emre, the largest port in the four overseas provinces.

Roland stood on the top deck of the flagship Sovereign, with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at the sea with an expressionless face.

Three days ago, Sif had led the army back along the original route, and then he also led the navy back to Port Emre from the sea.

Although this trip to Jinyuan was thrilling, it was very rewarding.

Get rid of Marco, straighten Alina, and no longer have to worry about being stabbed in the back when confronting Sophia.

On the eve of leaving, Roland and Alina made a secret agreement to agree on important matters.

The foundation of Alina's rule is not stable, and Roland is not in a hurry for her to express her position. He will wait until she has rectified the domestic order and fully grasped power.

Now neither Roland nor Sif has the power to sign a contract on behalf of the country. This secret agreement is just a private agreement and has not been elevated to the will of the country.

To express her gratitude, Alina prepared a large amount of food, supplies and cash as rewards for Roland and Sif's help.

Even compared with the First Fleet of the Royal Navy, it is not far behind.

As a state guest, Lisa visited the best chefs in Cité and asked them for cooking skills.

In addition to supplies and money, Alina also handed over a dozen capital ships to Roland as compensation for the sinking of the Perth.

Marco is ruthless enough, but Alina is even more powerful than Marco.

Afterwards, these resolutely opposed ministers received a gift, a biography of the dictator Marco.

Marco can suddenly become stronger and rise. Personal efforts are certainly important, but this sudden appearance of the armor is definitely also crucial.

This gift gradually calmed them down.

Unlike food deserts like Sussex, Golden Kite and Thalia are the top of the continental food mountain in Rodinia. Jinyuan and Thalia delicacies each have their own characteristics and form their own system.

In just over a month, Lisa not only learned skills from the best chefs in Jin Yuan Kingdom, but also became the honorary vice president of the Continental Gourmet Association and won the title of five-star gourmet.

Otherwise she wouldn't have the power to perform boring magic.

Lisa, who started her extraordinary career as a chef, has an unusual persistence in cooking.

The Jinyuan people are proud. They are more likely to accept domestic tyrants, but are unwilling to accept interference from the outside.

You've done everything you need to do, you've taken everything you need to take, and if you still hang around, it's easy for people in Jinyuan to feel resentful.

There was something she could only hide in her heart and would never let Teacher Anthony know.

During Jin Yuan's stay, everyone else was busy with their own affairs, but she had nothing to do.

Many people in the Jinyuan Kingdom opposed the payment of battleships, believing that it was a loss of power and an insult to the country, but Alina remained unmoved and persisted.

In addition to these gains that enhanced the team's strength, he also received Marco's magic armor.

While the Jinyuan Kingdom was recuperating and restoring order, Roland and the Sussex army left.

Although Lisa didn't ask, Roland knew what she was thinking and took the initiative to explain: "Do you remember Ulani?" (Chapter 195)
Lisa has a good memory and quickly recalled the name.

Because he provided very correct political guidance, even though he was not from Jinyuan, he still received the precious prime minister's badge.

Even though she now embarks on the path of practicing fire magic, she still can't forget her cooking skills.

Some people have already understood this truth, while others still need time to settle.

Fortunately, she quickly found fun.

"What are you looking at?"

If you are in a good mood, you will naturally learn things faster.

While their positive reviews don't earn Lisa an extra star rating, their thumbs up put her in a good mood.

With the acquisition of these well-maintained battleships, the strength of the Fourth Fleet has reached a new level. Coupled with the new battleships that are about to be launched, the strength has already surpassed its heyday.

He has caused so much trouble to the country, and he should be repaid a little after his death.

The golden prime minister's badge was engraved with an iris pattern, which was embedded into the bottom of the soul card, which further enhanced Roland's strength.

Not only that, he also received a new inheritance badge.

Who says you can't be an emperor in a republic. As long as the people recognize Alina, who can object?

Looking at Roland's deep gaze, Lisa was a little curious. This sea area is only three and a half days' sail from Emre Port, and there are no enemies around. What is Roland worried about.

Facing the complicated situation within Jin Yuan Kingdom, Alina was very confused and had to come to ask for advice. Roland recalled the history of another world and helped her design a suitable path.

Although Marco has an honest style and doesn't have much private property at all, he is already dead, so he has to take care of the debt that can't be settled.

Since she didn't have to worry about trivial matters, she studied cooking seriously every day and shared it with Roland and Sif.

Whether it was a hint that they should not do Marco or a hint not to force Alina to do Marco, they did not dare to say anything.

This armor contains strange magic power, and Roland plans to take it back and ask Master Anthony to identify it.

This remuneration is not in the name of the country, but is paid with Marco's "private property".

Lisa's soft voice sounded from her ears, bringing a gust of warm wind.

Roland, who was standing on the upper deck, did not hold a telescope, but just stared into the distance with his naked eyes.

Mastering the flame is for better cooking.

"I heard from Munina that Ms. Ulani is a siren of the Grim clan. She married into the Grim clan, but her whereabouts were unknown during the massacre on the seabed."

"I'm waiting for her."

Roland's words made Lisa unable to react for a long time.

After a moment of silence, she decided to bow to reality. She lightly hit Roland on the shoulder, smiled and teased: "Do you think I can figure it out? Tell me what's going on."

Although Lisa was very strong, the little fist on her shoulder was still as soft as before.

She is still her, nothing has changed.

Roland explained to Lisa concisely.

The Grimm clan is stronger than the Grimm clan. The two sides have been fighting for the right to speak orthodoxly to the Kraken clan. Although they are intermarried, there are irreconcilable conflicts.

That undersea massacre was the result of the Grim clan having a big backer like General Hai Ao.

Ulani is not an ordinary siren. She has a strong ability to protect herself, but she disappeared during the massacre. There must be something wrong.

"She's definitely not dead."

Roland said calmly: "If my guess is correct, she is staring at us not far away."

Lisa was so frightened that she trembled and whispered softly: "Will General Haiao come too?"

"It's hard to say, but Hai Ao's body is a giant sea turtle. The turtle is characterized by being timid and cunning, but it becomes extra bold when its strength exceeds a certain level. The current version of General Hai Ao is invincible in the sea, at least he is so think."

"So there is a high probability that he will come."

Lisa's originally rosy face turned pale, and her voice was trembling.

"What should we do? We are no match for him in the sea."

"I may not be able to kill him, but I will peel off his turtle shell."

Roland said calmly: "At Alina's house, I found a notebook. This is the original manuscript of the natural history written by Mr. Carlo, and it contains records about General Haiao."

"Mr. Carlo fantasizes about establishing a super-nation where all races live in harmony. He has done a lot of research on different races such as sirens, werewolves, and centaurs."

"Hai Ao's shell is both a life-saving weapon and a burden. The current Hai Ao General's real strength has reached level six, but he cannot display it at all under the shackles of the turtle shell."

"If Mr. Carlo's inference is correct, there is a high chance that the giant sea turtle shell will be left behind."

"What if it's wrong?" Lisa couldn't help asking.

Roland didn't speak, just smiled.

Sif would never ask this question.

He and Sif had too few chips, and every round could be the final round.

Of course, if we fail, we will go to the River Styx together and be companions on the road, otherwise what else can we do.

Win or die.

He has no choice.

Lisa was not a fool. She vaguely guessed Roland's thoughts, but she sighed secretly in her heart and said nothing more.

She remembered a proverb from her hometown.

After a person is born, he is on the road of dying generously, and there is no way out.

She just stood quietly beside Roland, ready to meet the challenge together with him.

So what if you have level six strength? Now is the seventh day of return. Even if the goddess comes, you can only use the power of level seven. This is the fundamental law of the universe.

Even General Haiao could not overcome it.

Since learning magic from Anthony, Lisa is no longer the city citizen she used to be, and her horizons have broadened a lot.

If all the seals are lifted, Teacher Anthony can at least break through to a true magician (equivalent to level five), and the way forward will be difficult.

The teacher's expectation for her is to at least reach the level of Grand Mage, equivalent to level three, and she can continue to rush if there is an opportunity.

She once asked the teacher what she expected from Roland. Anthony was silent for a long time and just shook his head.

The old magician couldn't see through Roland either.

Roland may die tomorrow, or he may make it to the end. His upper limit is a question mark.

Everything about Roland that Anthony meant was unknown, but Lisa didn't care. She thought the teacher was hinting that Roland had the talent to become a god.

If it's not just a sea turtle, what does it mean in front of the future great mage and candidate god?
Roland's peripheral vision captured the changes in Lisa's expression.

Roland was completely silent as he watched her transform from panic to swell in just half a second.

He sighed softly in his heart and continued to look at the sea.

It's really impossible to guess what the girl is thinking, so it's better to give up on this difficult challenge.

Perhaps it would be easier to uncover General Hai Ao's turtle shell.

Based on the information he knew, General Haiao's turtle shell may weigh dozens of tons, and it is lighter in texture but not inferior to Austrian Steel in hardness.

The giant turtle shell can be used as reinforced armor for the new flagship.

Thinking of the indestructible flagship, Roland suddenly looked forward to nightfall.

Only in the dead of night will these pirates emerge from the dark seabed to die.

He has prepared enough surprises for General Haiao.

Combining the superb skills of the alchemist Norton and the wild imagination of the naturalist Carlo, Roland laid a dragnet and waited for the bastard to take the bait.

General Haiao, will you come?
Roland narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the scepter, feeling inexplicably palpitating.
