Chapter 928 With a loud bang in the sky, the protagonist makes his debut
Chapter 928 There was a loud noise in the sky, and the protagonist made a shining appearance
After the eldest princess "Latis" said these words calmly, the accusations in the hall instantly fell silent.
The nobles and ministers looked at each other, and many of them had begun to re-recognize the Imperial Princess who was rumored to be just a beautiful vase.
This tactic of driving away tigers and devouring wolves is really too cruel.
Apart from the northern snowfields that had just rebelled, there are only two places left with territorial disputes within the empire.
There is no need to go into detail about the men in green at "Arnus Hill".
Although the current attitude of these visitors from other worlds is still very polite and friendly, it is a fact that they are shamelessly occupying the territory of the empire. Coupled with the ever-expanding hexagonal bastion and the increasing number of steel machines inside, no one can guarantee it.
Will you suddenly wake up one day and find the enemy already approaching the city?
The eastern coast is also a long-standing problem that has plagued the empire for hundreds of years.
It has always been the home of the Sea Clan. The Empire and the Sea Clan fought hundreds of wars, large and small, and could only barely drive the Sea Clan back to the sea. However, the other side only needed to recuperate for more than ten years before they would come back again.
.
To be honest, even the most knowledgeable and wise men in the empire can't understand why these fish-men who can't stay out of water for a long time have such a strong obsession with the land.
It's okay if they just occupy some land. The key is that these sea tribes regard the entire sea as their own territory and occupy the sea almost unreasonably.
It doesn't matter if a small sampan with a length of several meters is fishing for fish in the offshore. Once a large ship with a length of several tens of meters goes into the sea, it will be attacked wildly by these sea tribesmen.
The empire once formed a navy of tens of thousands of people to try to conquer these sea tribes. However, in the vast ocean, the home field advantage of these sea tribesmen was too great. The short battle only lasted less than a day and cost hundreds of millions of gold coins.
The Imperial Navy built was completely wiped out, with not even a single survivor who managed to escape.
At this point, the warmest and most fertile southeastern waters of the empire have completely become a restricted area for navigation. All domestic bulk material transportation can only rely on the artificially dug canal network. The huge annual maintenance costs make the empire's financial officers feel bald.
For the empire, these two pieces of land are no longer worthless pieces of land that cannot be eaten and thrown away, but are stuck in the throat that cannot be swallowed and spit out. What is there in these two places?
If anything goes wrong, the entire empire's top brass will collectively become bald.
If these two areas of dispute can really be left to the King of Naya, the empire will not only get rid of two heavy burdens immediately, but also if the King of Naya can conflict with the other two major forces, no matter who ends up losing,
Winning will be of great benefit to the empire without any harm.
The second prince "Jiabo" who had not spoken a word so far in the meeting suddenly raised a question: "Sister Latis, I admit that your idea is a good idea, but the King of Naya is not a fool. He knows those two territories.
It’s a hot potato, why do you think he will definitely come next?”
"If we throw out these two pieces of land from the beginning, the king of the demi-humans will most likely not accept it, so we need the bait of 'marriage' to lure him into taking the bait." "Latis" obviously considered this.
It was quite thorough, "As long as his marriage with the empire becomes an established fact, then he will have to accept those two hot territories, otherwise he will unilaterally tear up the peace agreement. At that time, our empire will occupy the moral high ground, and
The men in green who do not want to see the war resume will inevitably put pressure on the King of Naya."
To put it simply, the poison is coated with sugar. As long as the other party can't help but swallow the sweetness, it will be too late to regret it when the poison takes effect.
With such an interlocking plan, not only the emperor "Morte" couldn't help but nod, but the nobles and officials no longer had any objections, and they all changed their words to praise and praise, as if the bad abuse just now never existed at all.
"Latis, in your opinion, who is the best candidate for this marriage?"
When Emperor "Morte" said these words, he felt a little heavy. Although it was difficult for the children of the royal family to escape the fate of a direct marriage, "marriage" and "harmony" were two different things. The latter not only represented a
Humiliation makes it even more difficult to guarantee a happy married life in the future.
"If you want to catch the most cunning fish, you have to give up the most fragrant bait. Besides, this time is different from the past. After all, the empire has dug such a big hole for the king of the Naya people. There is no guarantee that the other party will not catch it after realizing that he has been tricked.
She will become angry from shame and vent all her anger on the royal woman to whom she is married, so..."
Having said this, "Latis" took a deep breath, her eyes were firm, and she said resolutely: "My son is willing to share my father's worries and contribute to the empire."
"Get up, I'll think about it again..."
Emperor "Morte" raised his hand feebly.
"Latis" is his first daughter, and also the most outstanding one. If he had a choice, he would not want to see "Latis" be treated as a victim of this political conspiracy.
But since I was born into a royal family, some sacrifices must be made.
"Okay, I will leave it to you to receive the demi-human king this time. If you need anything, just..."
As soon as he said this, a chaotic noise suddenly came from outside, and the roar of magic cannons and the frightened screams of soldiers could be heard faintly.
Immediately afterwards, a guard officer rushed into the main hall in a panic, knelt down on one knee and panted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty and your lords... please go to a safe place to take shelter as soon as possible! The Yan... Yanlong is flying over!
"
"What!"
Emperor "Morte" couldn't help but stand up from the throne, his old face full of shock.
The nobles and ministers below were also in chaos. If His Majesty the Emperor hadn't still stood there and didn't move, someone would have probably escaped through the door.
"My lords, please calm down!" The third princess "Ping Na" shouted to maintain order, while she stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the guard officer, picked him up and asked: "This... how is this possible? How can this be possible?
In the past hundred years, the Imperial Capital has never been attacked by a flame dragon, are you wrong?"
Except for elves, Yanlong does not like to eat intelligent creatures. After all, whether they are humans or other demi-humans, they are small and difficult to catch. They are far less appetizing to Yanlong than the large monsters in the forest.
Because of this, there are very few rumors of human villages being attacked by flame dragons on the mainland, let alone the imperial capital that is defended by heavy weapons such as magic cannons.
"No! Princess Pingna, you can't be wrong! That's the Flame Dragon! Ordinary flying dragons will be blown to pieces if hit by a magic cannon. Only the Flame Dragon can fly against the attack of the magic cannon!"
"Ping Na" dropped the frightened guard officer, turned around and said anxiously: "Father, it seems that the Flame Dragon is really coming! Please go to the secret passage for safety as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Father, that is the Flame Dragon! The most powerful monster that the first emperor could not defeat with hundreds of thousands of troops back then! If we don't leave quickly, I'm afraid it will be too late!"
The eldest prince "Soshar" impatiently rushed to the throne and turned the mechanism, opening a secret passage in the wall behind it.
Just when he was about to forcefully carry Emperor "Morte" on his back and enter the secret passage, a huge sickle flew past everyone's heads and accurately nailed the top of the secret passage.
Immediately afterwards, an arrogant girl's voice came from the main entrance of the hall.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, our Lord has traveled thousands of miles to come to visit us. It doesn't matter if you don't come to greet us, but you actually use magic cannons to attack the owner's mount. Is this the way your empire treats guests?"
On the platform outside the main entrance, a demi-human girl with strange blue skin was flapping her wings and slowly landing.
The huge scythe blocking the door of the secret passage seemed to have received some kind of summons, and flew back automatically. The Lampian girl grabbed the long handle and carried it on her shoulder.
"Giselle, the apostle of Hades?"
As the emperor of the empire, "Morte" has always paid close attention to these apostles of the righteous gods, who are called "sub-gods" by the people. Naturally, he recognized the identity of this blue-skinned dragon lady at a glance.
It's just that he is a little confused. Why does the "Ya Shen" who has never participated in politics suddenly appear in the imperial capital this time? The most important thing is, who is the master in her mouth? It does not mean that the righteous god cannot come to people in his true form.
Boundary...
Could it be...
"Morte" suddenly had a terrifying thought in his mind that made him feel cold all over.
"My lords, come with me to go out and have a look!"
Although the nobles and ministers were already extremely frightened, they did not dare to disobey His Majesty the Emperor's order. They could only bravely follow "Morte" out of the main hall and outside.
In the blue sky, the elemental flashes produced by the explosion of magic cannons constantly bloom and dissipate, like brilliant holiday fireworks.
A ball of crimson flames flew all the way like a meteor, and the extremely familiar red giant beast appeared and disappeared in the scorching fire cloud that dragged for hundreds of meters.
Emperor "Morte"'s body was trembling slightly, and his knuckles turned white in his cuffs.
"Your Majesty the Emperor." Although Giselle's tone was a little reluctant, she still showed great pride in front of everyone in the palace, "The one who controls the Flame Dragon is my lord, Nightmare, the king of demihumans.
"
Thank you for your concern. Although my body is still a little weak, my spirit is already very good. I will try to give you more tomorrow...
