Chapter 692 The Impending Crisis

Santa Cruz, the capital of the Cyrus Empire, the Palace of the Dome.

A luxurious coffin with the emblem of the national bird, the White Spoonbill, carved with fine detail and gilded throughout, has been parked in the Great Chamber for a whole week.

Although Prince Manolo was assassinated, but with the help of the rune technique to freeze the corpse, and the seal of the top-level coffin was good enough, there was no odor at this time.

But the atmosphere in the great hall was still cold.

A group of vassals, including the prime minister, the field marshal, and the admiral, the three military and political leaders, and the chief confidant of the think tank, great wizard Anduen, bowed their heads very tacitly and dared not look at them. The Emperor Your Majesty on the throne.

“Has no one been found yet?”

There is no joy or anger on Philip II’s face, but those who are familiar with him know that this expressionless state is actually is the most terrifying. It’s like a powder keg that has a fuze ignited and may explode at any time.

Anduen had to brace oneself to step forward:

“Your Majesty, you can be sure that they are still alive, but they can’t find their traces by all means, even through The same is true for the curse cast by the medium, throw a stone and see it sink without trace in the sea.

We speculate that it should be a high rank transcender and a powerful fortune teller.”

On the flagship “Pearl of Santa Cruz” which was bloodbathed in a short period of time unfathomable mystery, the bodies of most of the crew can be found, and the entire ship was immediately sent back to Cyrus by two terrified frigates.

But among the main personnel of the mission, there are only two members with the strongest martial power value, the sword technique Master Pedro and the official wizard “spider”.

Only finding the two of them can really trace the truth of the whole incident, but the great wizard Andoun who led the matter spent a whole week and still found nothing, obviously things are far from being ransacked on the surface. Simple.

The tone barely fell, and the great hall immediately felt like the tranquility before the rainstorm, and even the air had to freeze directly.

Although the strength of many elites here is higher than that of Philip II, even if the peak Great Knight is still a little breathless under the inexplicable pressure, this is the power from the secular imperial power.

No one can ignore this right until they have the extraordinary strength of fourth rank.

At this time, the emperor Your Majesty certainly had reason to be angry.

When the powerful power of the title Knight spreads in the bloodline, and continues to benefit the descendants, the descendants of the royal family are not very prosperous.

This generation of Philip II, the entire kingdom of Cyrus, even with his cousin Prince Manolo, is just three male members. And for some indescribable reason, the art-loving prince has not left any heirs.

This is a major event related to the continuation of the royal family. No matter what the thoughts of those scheming subjects, Philip II absolutely does not want this to happen.

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

Slightly longer.

In this condensed atmosphere, some of the old and infirm vassals were sweating on their foreheads, and even started on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly.

Da..da..da..

The crisp footsteps of high-heeled shoes sounded, a beautiful silhouette wearing a luxurious low-cut court dress with a slightly thin body. Accompanied by a court lady, he appeared at the gate of the palace.

“Teresa, why are you here?”

Seeing the person coming, Philip II’s originally expressionless face loosened slightly, and he quickly stood up to help him carefully. Together with their queen, they sat on the large throne.

It looked like she was taking care of a fragile and precious piece of porcelain, but in fact, the queen Your Majesty was in a similar state to porcelain. Although her limbs are still slender, she can easily tell from her slightly bulging belly that she is about to usher in a new identity.

“Your Majesty, don’t mind me, I just want to sit with you for a while when you’re not happy.”

The young queen who just turned 23, looks Thin as paper, with the pitiful eyes, it is very in line with the aesthetics of the current nobles. Reaching out a slender hand like a little girl, gently smoothing the deep wrinkles between Philip II’s eyebrows, it is even easier to make people feel pity.

The almost frozen atmosphere in the great hall was instantly relieved, and all the vassals were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Teresa came here, she didn’t do anything or say anything, but a group of vassals couldn’t help but cast their grateful glances at her.

“Good, good, good, it’s good to come out to meet people and breathe.”

From the very beginning, Philip II started political marriage, and only focused on this in order to get the throne of the emperor. I started as a Habsburg Princess, and now after more than three years of getting along, my attitude has changed significantly.

He has loved his wife, who is almost half his age, from the bottom of his heart.

I don’t know if it’s because of the hidden wisdom and charm of this Teresa Princess, the Frisian Kingdom, which is rich in financial resources and responsible for half of the empire’s tax revenue, or whether it was after two marriages that he won the prize. The first child – the Crown Prince Aldrich.

That’s right, this lucky man who was identified as the male heir by the dive technique was given a name before he was born, and was even directly conferred as the Crown Prince of the Cyrus Empire, destined to be. Inherit the throne of the Emperor of the Empire.

Being blessed in advance by the former “Fire of Eternal” Archbishop, now the “Fire of Eternal” Pope – the fourth rank cleric Wycliffe, there is almost no need to worry that he will die midway like the commoners .

Most royal families can have two or three offspring, enough for a national celebration.

Although it took three years of marriage to have the first child, but now in the entire Cyrus Empire, no one’s status can be mentioned on equal terms with this queen Your Majesty.

After a brief interlude, back to the topic.

Only with Queen Your Majesty here, Philip II naturally restrained his temper, and the atmosphere was obviously not as depressed as before.

“Since the incident happened in the territorial waters of Tulip, they are not to blame for the assassination of the prince. Send a diplomatic note to let them hand over the murderer within two months. Come on!”

The emperor, who seemed to have regained his composure, directly explained his thoughts without letting his subjects guess.

The people who can stand here may be greedy or cruel, but none of them are stupid. The power of the state is not just a person who is angry with the crown, and there are very few possibilities to act with anger.

Although there may be some righteous indignation at the request of the “marriage proposal”, the Tulip people have absolutely no motive to dispatch at least a Knight-level transcender to assassinate a prince who is not a threat.

But.

Whoever moves the hand, they must respond strongly! If the prince is assassinated without any sign of it, the title of the world’s most powerful country will soon become a joke, and the rule of the Cyrus Empire in all parts of the world will be seriously shaken.

When the vassals below heard the deadline, they heart shivered with cold at the same time, everyone was very sensitive to this time, because it happened to be the sailing time from the mainland to the new continent!

If Chen Bing is in the old continent, accidentally it may evolve into a total war.

Seeing that the religious war is gradually coming to dawn, Cyrus will also need a few years to recuperate. Obviously, the emperor Your Majesty is ready to open a breakthrough in his new continent with the strongest strength.

Field Marshal Faffman, who was wearing a military uniform with shining medals on his chest, had already understood what Philip II meant, stepped forward like a towering city wall, and saluted:

p>

“Your Majesty, although the “Fire of Eternal” church stationed in ‘Holy City’ Novigrad, has never given up its struggle, and there may be a final decisive battle to be fought, but there is no problem in drawing a certain amount of troops Yes.”

Philip II, who was on the throne, slowly nodded, turned his head and looked towards the head of the think tank who had just done an errand:

“Well, Andu Mr. En, what do you think?”

“Your Majesty, according to the information, one quasi-Legendary, two Level 2 ships, and six Level 4 and above battleships are stationed at the Phaletis naval base all year round. With the exception of Pharretis, the Tulip nations are not too powerful in the new continent.

In addition, the intelligence personnel have already sent a letter back, the new Legendary battleship [Emerald Corona] and [ [Steam Fortress] are all located in the mainland of Faretis.

There should be a Legendary battleship in the new continent, which also appeared in the Kingdom of Ilya, and we don’t even know the name of the mysterious battleship for the time being.

According to the intelligence of eyewitnesses, its Legendary battleship skill should be an ultra-long-range artillery bombing capability. Among the five Legendary battleships dispatched to us, the strongest attack force is still immune to a certain extent. The [Flaming Light] attacked by artillery fire should be foolproof.”

After a pause, Anduen continued:

“The most troublesome thing in the Pharretis colony should be that one. Single-handedly established the ‘Dragons Pirates’, Rear Admiral Alwin Garriott nicknamed the White Knight, and a low-key ‘Gemology’ great wizard in Yuanfan.

when the time comes us’ The chief pinnacle great wizard ‘Death Messenger’ of the School of the Damned’ will deal with them personally.

From the ‘Holy Sword · Levodine’ of the ‘Flame Court’, he has made great contributions to the Reformation.

The pinnacle of the Great Knight Mark Lunn can accompany the fleet.

In addition to withdrawing from the religious war, in order to deal with the stronghold on the high west coast Milo, the Totem god “Mother of Water”, has traveled to the new continent, Her Excellency “Fire of Thorns”.

In terms of super power at the top, we can crush them! “

Then, the Admiral and Minister of the Navy Bancrot stepped forward and said:

“Your Majesty, in terms of the conventional fleet, the power of the church within the Armada has already was completely purged. The main battleship of the 3rd Squadron is drawn, and it is more than enough to defeat the Tulips. “

Now Cyrus’ Armada has more than 310 main battleships above Level 3, and the total fleet size has exceeded 2200 ships. Take out half of the third battleship. Squadron, and more than fifty Level 3 battleships!

This is a powerful force that many countries cannot produce with the strength of the whole country.

“Okay, that’s it. ! If they can hand over the prince’s murderer and transfer enough benefits to the Empire, they may be able to let them go this time. If they don’t have fun, kick them out of the new continent completely! ”

bang!

Philip II slapped the armrest of the throne with a forceful slap, completely setting the plan for the operation.

It was a long way off. Alwin and Liwena, who are separated by the ocean, don’t know yet.

A couple of days ago, they were still planning how to plot against others, but they never expected that a bunch of banks full of bad water. The family has already made the first move.

And the dignified Cyrus Empire will not move, and if it moves, it will be thunderous.

I vow to let everyone see it , this world’s No. 1 power is still an existence that everyone needs to look up to!

Thanks to the book friends for the reward of Bronze Square!
