My queen is rebelling!

(Thanks to book friend "Marry a Name, Sun" for the five consecutive rewards, thank you boss!)

"Five?"

The few fell into silence.

Five legendary ranks would be more than enough to destroy some small principalities.

Commander Norn pursed his lips tightly, years of military experience told him that this group of pirates should not be underestimated, and must be annihilated with absolute crushing strength before they develop and grow.

Duke Gavin coughed lightly, easing the atmosphere:

"Aren't they still attacking Weeping Sound Trench now? Didn't the commander just say that the defense of Weeping Sound Trench is extremely solid? If they return without success, will the merfolk and sharkmen continue to help the Crimson Raiders?"

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Commander Norn's expression faltered, and before he could say anything, the expressions of the few suddenly changed, and they looked towards the northwest sea area.

Soon, an old man suddenly appeared in the court.

Upon seeing the person, Prime Minister Yude and others bowed and saluted, and even King Gaius showed respect.

The old man's opening words made the atmosphere in the hall heavy:

"Your Majesty, in the northwest sea area, a legend has fallen!"

Soon, Commander Norn also received intelligence from the front line.

A legendary banshee has fallen!

King Gaius looked at Norn and said in a deep voice:

"Didn't you say that the defense of Weeping Sound Trench is extremely strong? How long has it been, and a banshee has already fallen?"

Norn said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, under normal circumstances, if those three banshees feel they are no match, they will definitely retreat back to Weeping Sound Trench to defend. Since they chose to fight to the death with the opponent, it can only mean that the merfolk have destroyed the defense system of Weeping Sound Trench.

The merfolk and the Weeping Banshee tribe have been mortal enemies since ancient times, and they know each other very well..."

King Gaius waved his hand and said:

"It's useless to say this now, I agree with your previous view, this pirate group must be taken seriously.

Go and arrange it!"

Excitement and elation suddenly appeared on Norn's face. He didn't expect that the fall of the Weeping Banshee would actually prompt His Majesty to make up his mind to annihilate this pirate group, which was an unexpected joy.

He replied loudly:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

...

At the same time, it was not only the Kingdom of Ceylon that felt the fall of a legendary rank in the northwest sea area. All coastal countries in the northwest continent, or countries that had planted spies in the northwest sea area, received the news.

Soon, the news that the merfolk, sharkmen, and Crimson Raiders had joined forces to attack Weeping Sound Trench spread throughout the northwest continent.

This is another battle between a large number of peak transcendent individuals since the exchange meeting in the northwest region of Florence and the great battle between the saints and legendary ranks.

Even the fall of a legend has occurred again.

Western Region Empire, State Guesthouse.

Effie Yin's negotiations with the Western Region Empire regarding the strategy of the dwarf tribe have been going on for more than a month.

The two sides still have major differences on some key issues. It seems that it will be difficult to reach a consensus in two or three months.

The supreme ruler of this empire, Emperor Klemento Monroe, even personally attended the negotiation venue to communicate with Isabella Windsor, the representative of Effie Yin.

Emperor Monroe has repeatedly hinted that he hopes to have a face-to-face exchange with Effie Yin's King, Cohen Corleone.

Each time, Isabella politely refused.

While Cohen and the others were attacking the Weeping Banshees in Weeping Sound Trench, the two sides were also conducting negotiations.

Coincidentally, Emperor Monroe had nothing to do today, so he also came to participate.

Isabella came back to her senses, her expression on her face was very calm:

"Emperor Monroe, the pillar industry of our Golden Wing Family is the grain and energy business that spans the entire human continent.

The Northwest Continent is the largest grain-producing area in the entire human race, and all transportation and cargo flows must pass through the Northwest Sea. The stability of the Northwest Sea is related to the stability of our Golden Wing Family's commercial territory.

Do you think I can not care about what happened in the Northwest Sea?"

Emperor Monroe smiled and said:

"So that's how it is, but I think Miss Windsor doesn't need to worry too much. According to the analysis of our intelligence personnel, this legendary-level battle has nothing to do with our human continent.

I heard that it is the grievances between the Merfolk and the Weeping Banshee tribe.

Moreover, if the Merfolk can eliminate the Weeping Banshees entrenched in the Weeping Sound Trench, it will be a considerable improvement for the security of the entire Northwest Sea."

Isabella replied:

"I hope everything goes as Your Majesty wishes."

Emperor Monroe casually put down the intelligence, and it seemed that what happened in the Northwest Sea was just a trivial matter to him.

Then he asked gently:

"Miss Windsor, I wonder when His Majesty Corleone will be free to come to our Western Region Empire. I heard Roland say that His Majesty Corleone's parents once planned to let him come to our Western Region Empire to receive training.

It's a pity that this plan was shelved later due to the training of Queen Angeline."

Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly, knowing that this Emperor Monroe was hinting that he wanted to meet Cohen in person for detailed talks.

However, if he was hinting, why did he suddenly mention Adeline for no reason? Could it be that he wanted to provoke her jealousy?

If that's the case, this Emperor Monroe's trick is too childish.

Although Isabella is jealous, she is not so ignorant that she cannot distinguish between priorities. Now she represents Effie Yin, represents Cohen, how could she let personal feelings interfere with her judgment.

Not knowing what Emperor Monroe was up to, Isabella still responded with the usual attitude and tone:

"Your Majesty, before I came, I had already received the full entrustment of His Majesty Corleone, and I can make all decisions for him.

You don't necessarily have to see him in person."

Emperor Monroe smiled:

"I'm not questioning the relationship and trust between Miss Windsor and His Majesty Corleone.

I just simply want to meet this young talent.

To be honest, from the moment I knew that His Majesty Corleone was the Lord of Shadows, I felt that this young king would definitely ascend to the stage of the entire human race in the future, and even become one of the most dazzling stars."

Regardless of the other party's purpose in saying this, the praise of her beloved by the emperor of the five great empires still made Isabella's eyes and eyebrows soften a lot.

Isabella quickly restrained her emotions and replied:

"Your Majesty is too kind, I will definitely convey your meaning to His Majesty Corleone in its entirety."

Emperor Monroe paused for a moment, then asked:

"By the way, Miss Windsor, I have something about Queen Angeline of Effie Yin that I would like to ask you about."

Isabella immediately became vigilant. Sure enough, Emperor Monroe's sudden mention of Adeline before was not a whim at all. She asked calmly:

"Your Majesty, I haven't had much contact with Miss Adeline, and I may not understand some things."

Emperor Monroe waved his hand and said:

"It's just a casual question, just curious. It doesn't matter if Miss Windsor doesn't know.

You can ask His Majesty Corleone to pass on a message for me!"

Isabella said:

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

Emperor Monroe opened his mouth:

"Speaking of which, it was also by chance. I have a nephew who has been studying at the Cobalt Soul Academy.

I have a good relationship with Professor Galileo, the dean of the Northwest Branch of the Cobalt Soul Academy, and my nephew occasionally assists him in handling some administrative work.

Not long ago, he returned to his country to visit relatives and mentioned something.

According to him, he seemed to have seen Queen Angeline's name on the list of new students holding golden admission invitations!"

Cobalt Soul Academy Golden Admission Invitation!

That is something that only the direct bloodline heirs of the five great empires are qualified to possess, and each session can only have one spot.

Even Isabella, the Golden Wing Girl of the Golden Wing Family, is not able to possess a golden invitation.

Adeline Angeline, no matter what title she wears, whether she is the number one beauty on the continent or the youngest legendary rank on the continent, these will not be taken seriously by the Cobalt Soul Academy.

As a detached organization that has existed since the age of the gods, the Cobalt Soul Academy has its own principles and methods for recruiting students.

Especially invitations above the silver level, it is almost impossible to obtain through normal channels.

During the Northwest Region Exchange Meeting War, Cohen showed the obtained golden invitation in order to allow the Cobalt Soul Academy to take action smoothly, but at that time only the three tomb masters of Black Tomb and Prince Sazu of the Eastern Region Empire were present.

The rest did not know that Cohen possessed a golden admission invitation from the Cobalt Soul Academy.

Therefore, when Emperor Monroe's nephew saw that the queen of an ordinary principality could actually obtain a golden invitation, the shock in his heart can be imagined.

After returning to his country, he immediately reported the situation to his emperor uncle, who had always been concerned about Effie Yin's movements.

Hearing Emperor Monroe's question, a trace of surprise flashed in Isabella's eyes, obviously also very surprised that Adeline could have a golden invitation.

In a daze, she recalled a past event.

Once when she and Cohen were in the "Lost Land", they encountered people from the Cobalt Soul Academy. At that time, they directly took Cohen away, and the two sides almost fought.

Could it be that the invitation was requested at that time?

Isabella suppressed the emotions in her heart and asked calmly:

"I really don't know about this matter. There are so many people with the same name, perhaps it's just a coincidence.

Has Your Majesty's nephew ever seen her in person at the academy?"

Emperor Monroe said with a smile:

"Miss Windsor, I don't have any other intentions in asking this question.

In addition to Queen Angeline being able to obtain the golden admission invitation from the Cobalt Soul Academy, as far as I know, the Cobalt Soul Academy also dispatched a hundred 'special-grade' courtyard monks to help Effie Yin in Florence.

This really makes me have to wonder, why is your lover, King Cohen Corleone of Effie Yin, so close to the Cobalt Soul Academy."

After so much foreshadowing, the real intention is here!

Emperor Monroe actually wants to know what Cohen has in his hands that is worth the Cobalt Soul Academy's attention.

Isabella replied softly:

"Is Your Majesty hoping I will relay the question to His Majesty Corleone?"

Emperor Monroe sighed, a clear look of regret on his face:

"Is Miss Windsor unwilling to tell me?"

Isabella wore a formal smile:

"I'm truly sorry, I also know very little about this matter, and I have no valuable information to provide to Your Majesty."

Emperor Monroe gently shook his head and said:

"Please, Miss Windsor, be sure to tell His Majesty Corleone that our Western Region Empire holds no malice towards Effin.

Not to mention the relationship between Roland and the Corleone royal family, but just for myself, I also hold a very friendly attitude towards Effin.

This world is very big, and it can accommodate a brand new kingdom… or even an empire!

However, some people may not think so. I hope His Majesty Corleone can recognize true friends and enemies."

Isabella heard that Emperor Monroe's words were clearly pointed, and she directly asked:

"I wonder which people Your Majesty is referring to?"

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Emperor Monroe lowered his voice:

"I heard that His Majesty Corleone is preparing to participate in the 【Noble Martial Arts Festival】 to be held in Constantine in two years?"

Isabella replied:

"There is such a plan."

Emperor Monroe said:

"Miss Windsor, to tell you the truth, the people of the Central Empire are also very interested in the relationship between His Majesty Corleone and Cobalt Soul Academy.

However, they will not be as friendly as I am. The Central Empire is, after all, their territory. If His Majesty Corleone really goes, he won't be able to do what he wants or doesn't want to do."

Isabella fell into thought.

She didn't know about the secret deal between Cohen and the Empress of the Central Empire. Hearing Emperor Monroe say this, she also felt that Cohen's trip was somewhat risky.

Emperor Monroe saw the silent Isabella and said in a deep voice:

"If His Majesty Corleone really wants to go, I can accompany him!"

Emperor Monroe's words shocked Isabella.

The lord of a great empire accompanying Cohen?

Without a doubt, Cohen's safety would receive the highest level of guarantee.

However, she quickly sobered up. Emperor Monroe would definitely not do this for nothing. The other party must have conditions. With a thought, Isabella understood.

The other party's conditions had been stated before. Like the Central Empire, Emperor Monroe also wanted to know the relationship between Cohen and Cobalt Soul Academy, and of course, more importantly, the secret that made Cobalt Soul Academy value Cohen so much.

Isabella nodded slightly and said:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will accurately convey your meaning to His Majesty Corleone."

Emperor Monroe seemed very happy and said:

"It's comfortable to talk to Miss Windsor. Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. You are busy.

I hope our negotiations can also have a good result!"

…

With the fall of one of the legendary-tier Crying Banshees, the entire Crying Trench had become a mess.

The Crimson Raiders' pirates had already taken the stealth ships and descended all the way, approaching the core of the Crying Trench.

The remaining banshees, led by several ninth-tier peak transcendents, quickly set up a defense line on the periphery.

As Beckman and the other three deputy团长 led the pirates to break through the defense line, the two sides instantly fell into a melee.

In the Shadow Plane, Cohen observed the banshees coming and going outside, and soon locked onto a seventh-tier banshee.

This banshee was leading a team of seven or eight people, with cultivation levels ranging from bronze to silver.

The light in Cohen's eyes flickered, and he looked at the attribute panel, experience points 90488 / 100000.

Most of these ninety thousand experience points were accumulated during the Emerald Grand War at the Northwest Exchange Conference, when Arnold led the orc legions to sweep through the Eastern Region Empire, the Central Empire, and the Black Tomb Allied Forces.

The rest were obtained in the Silver Frost Principality.

Apart from that, there were few suitable opportunities for Cohen to obtain a large amount of experience.

Therefore, he had to seize this opportunity to attack the Crying Trench and break through the 100,000 threshold for experience points.

Cohen looked at the experience point panel, and as the pirates slaughtered the banshees, the value was slowly rising.

After receiving the Crimson Raiders, these pirates naturally became Cohen's soldiers. Every time the soldiers eliminated a transcendent of the same or higher rank, Cohen could also enjoy the experience point bonus.

But it was still too slow!

At this rate, unless all the low-level sea monsters in the entire Crying Trench were killed, it would be possible to break through the 100,000 mark.

Cohen was still counting on these low-level sea monsters to build a defensive barrier for his base camp in the future, so he couldn't kill them all.

Then he could only kill enemies beyond his rank, or even a large rank, killing a sixth-tier with a fifth-tier, killing a gold-tier with a silver-tier, which would bring an exponential increase in experience points.

The team led by the seventh-tier banshee in front of him was a very suitable target.

Cohen didn't hesitate much, and directly escaped from the Shadow Plane, releasing his aura without concealment.

The seventh-tier banshee immediately sensed the aura of a silver-tier human. The fall of the banshee leader was making these middle and lower-level banshees feel extremely angry. At this moment, sensing the aura of a low-level human, without any hesitation, she led her subordinates and surrounded Cohen.

Cohen's body surged with magic power, and he fled towards the distance.

Apart from avoiding being surrounded, he also didn't want Beckman and others to notice the traces of his actions.

For no other reason than that his fighting style was too distinct. As long as they saw him take action, they would soon be able to associate him with the King of Effin.

Arriving at a secluded place, Cohen turned his head and looked at the eight banshees who followed.

In addition to the leading seventh-tier banshee, there was also a sixth-tier, two fifth-tiers, two third-tiers, and two second-tiers.

The eight banshees directly surrounded Cohen. The leading banshee didn't bother to take action at all. With a wave of her hand, her seven subordinates pounced on Cohen.

The dragon seal on Cohen's hand flickered, transforming into a dragon-shaped scimitar. Looking at the banshees pouncing on him, he shouted in a low voice.

Gate of Babylon!

A golden ripple instantly surged behind him, and the magic weapons in the hands of the seven banshees were all sucked away by the golden ripple.

The banshees were shocked, but they didn't stop their movements. Even with their bare hands, this mere fifth-tier human was no match for them.

Cohen waved the scimitar—Counterattack Storm!

Apart from the sixth-tier's attack being able to slightly affect Cohen, all other attacks of the same or lower tier were immune to the Counterattack Storm.

The sixth-tier's attack, after being reduced by 80%, was also completely blocked by Cohen's already golden body.

Such an unbelievable scene instantly shocked the seventh-tier banshee in place.

She couldn't understand why a weak fifth-tier human could so easily withstand the joint attack of so many of the same tier and a sixth-tier transcendent.

Cohen didn't give the other party time to react. Counterattack Storm Stun!

The seven banshees were instantly inflicted with a stun spell that lasted for seven seconds. The seventh-tier banshee no longer hesitated, knowing that she had likely encountered a tough opponent. Her figure flickered and attacked Cohen to save her subordinates.

Cohen's body surged with magic power.

Enhancement Rune—Icy Foundation!

【Icy Foundation (Silver Quality): Summons an ice wall in a location】

With a bang, the seventh-tier banshee crashed head-on into a huge ice wall.

The ice wall began to spread, and then stacked into a huge icy tomb, completely covering the seventh-tier banshee.

The scimitar in Cohen's hand had already transformed into a lighter sword. Blade Waltz—in an instant, a fatal wound appeared on the throat of each banshee.

With a boom, as the seventh-tier banshee broke the ice wall, her seven subordinates had already fallen to the ground.

The banshee let out a shrill wail, her eyes fiercely staring at Cohen.

Cohen's expression became extremely solemn. This was the first time he had faced a gold-tier transcendent.

After all, it was a large rank across silver and gold. Just the other party's aura gave him a trace of pressure.

The banshee suddenly floated up, her shriek seemingly tearing through the seawater.

Ghostly green flames wrapped around her ten fingers, forming cold blades.

Obviously, the other party had determined that Cohen possessed a skill that could steal weapons. In order to avoid having her weapon stolen, the banshee directly transformed magic power into a weapon in her hand.

The banshee took the lead and attacked Cohen.

Faced with the banshee's aggressive attack, Cohen did not choose to resist head-on, but directly entered the shadows to observe the opponent's attack strength.

The blades in the banshee's hand instantly tore three cracks of several tens of meters wide in the seabed. Wherever they passed, rocks and sea sand instantly melted like wax.

Cohen reappeared, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes. As expected of a gold-tier transcendent.

The attack power had already approached the limit of physical attacks. This casual blow was enough to withstand several times the joint attack of those banshees just now.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

If it was still possible for a bronze-tier to win against a silver-tier, then there was absolutely no possibility for a silver-tier to win against a gold-tier!

After advancing to the gold tier, all of the transcendent's skills began to transform towards the direction of domain skills. Each move carried a trace of domain rules, and the destructive power was unmatched by transcendents below the gold tier.

This was no longer a simple difference in numerical accumulation, but a crushing force of different levels.

The casual slash of the seventh-tier banshee just now actually carried some rules of "corrosion."

If a transcendent below the gold tier brushed against it, they would be corroded to nothing in an instant!

However, it didn't matter much to Cohen. The resistance of the golden body could completely withstand the erosion of the rules, which was also the strongest point of the golden body.

After trying a move, Cohen had a rough estimate of the real combat power of the seventh-tier banshee in front of him. He drank a bottle of might potion, his body surging with magic power, and his fighting spirit erupted!
