“All the merchant ships outside Byzantium sank. If I guessed right, these **** naga are well prepared. The first thing is to dismantle our advantage on the sea-the warships in the port have damaged more than 50%, not only us, the British Ge Wei and Barrich Gilman both ended the same, and the fleet of the coastal powers was also destroyed by the other party…” The Marquis of Karen looked slightly obediently, but his tone was abnormal, “The Empire cannot fight back.” The robbers in the sea, this time the landlocked countries must be staring at me-IMHO, the envoys to the August Empire may not be able to count on it anymore, war is imminent, and the empire is really relying on them now, only them!”

His fingers pointed to Hiddink and Sarah, Deco, and others next to him. These young people who had outstanding performance in the previous battles were all invited, which can be said to be the pillars and pillars of the empire in the future. [](.)

The banquet was quiet, and Marquis Kron, who thought he had the first-hand information and took the initiative, glanced at the Duke of Windsor, not far away. The demonstration was obvious.

But what he cared more about was the lonely and indifferent figure in the banquet corner—a black and red dress with a lazy posture and a simple bun…Duke Azshara turned his back to everyone in the banquet hall. Looking at the back garden of the palace from the balcony on the edge, a glass of red wine shook gently in his hand without moving.

The news about the loss of the Imperial Fleet was naturally responsible for “Eagle Eye”. Marquis Karen was proud of the “care” of this duke-level character. After all, the news channel for Eagle Eye was Byzantium and “creed”. He didn’t believe anyone could be more informed than himself.

creed? He tried to buy the information of the creed and found that he was not qualified to obtain the confidential information-Marquis Kron was not too dissatisfied with it. After all, the tentacle of the creed in his eyes could not touch the distant sea and another continent at all. [WWw.YZUU dot m]

“The Marquis thought that…the empire should now be preempted to prevent the invasion of the inland empire?” Edward III didn’t seem to know that the two factions of Marquis Allen and Duke Akar confronted each other, and asked directly to Oswi beside him. Earl Xin said: “What do you think?”

Once the Duke of Windsor and Count Auschwitz were not in sync, but after some incidents, the son of Count Auschwitz Clivi became the core defensive mage of the chief defense magic circle in the Murphys territory. Akar was right, but he understood Edward III’s intention at the moment, and he did not change his response: “The situation on the mainland is changing. At present, not only is the invasion of marine races worth worrying about, but we should also pay attention to the crisis faced by landlocked countries- The “Heavenly Chosen One” is a double-edged sword, which may trigger conflicts within the country at any time. If the enemy is strong, the enemy must first settle down.-yd-“

At this moment, the Duke of Windsor had stepped to the side of Edward III, took over the words of Count Auschwitz, and nodded to thank him for his decisive move. His eyes turned to Marquis Karen and said: “Although the Western Territory is often subject to The invasion of the Holy Gabriel Empire, but I think the troops of the Empire are not currently suitable for expeditions.”

The gala dinner that should have been the theme of “Gong Gong” suddenly jumped up because of the words provoked by Marquis Karen. The guests did not eat dry food. The nobles standing here today have no compromises, even the youngest Hiddink. People are also sergeant generals who have a firm position. They are not as smooth as the old nobility.

“The empire’s expedition has never failed. It used to be the same before, and it will continue to do so in the future.” The words of Marquis Karen only defended the honour of the empire, and then tit-for-tat: “It was the embassy’s actions that suffered repeated setbacks. jīng force…not worth it.”

“Oh? The Marquis of Karen seems to have some personal views on the decision of the current empire?” Edward III still seemed to have just understood it, and solemnly said: “Let’s elaborate, although we have repelled the Naga’s attack, but Afterwards, the sea is no longer as safe as it used to be. [WWw.YZUU点m]”

The Duke of Windsor narrowed his eyes slightly. He understood that Edward III had made it clear that he would not support any empire’s claims of aggression and expansion in the next five years, but now this statement is clearly triggering a conflict between the two upper factions of the empire. But conflict does not mean bad things. Many things stand behind each other. Edward III certainly has his own ideas.

“Your Majesty’s maritime diplomacy has achieved amazing results, but it is clear that risks and opportunities coexist. Now our power at sea has been severely hit. The base of the abominable Naga population may be far beyond imagination, otherwise they will not attack the whole at the same time. Almost all large ports on the mainland…” The Marquis of Karen was well prepared and talked about, but did not notice that Lilith, who had just spoken with His Majesty the Emperor, did not go far. His eyes turned to Windsor Road: “The Empire went to sea None of the ships has been able to return, and according to the mission of the envoys, should they be on the return journey now?”

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. The mission of the embassy of the empire is doomed to failure. It is only the right way to abandon the operation of the distant sea.

He was not afraid to offend Edward III by saying this, because the entire maritime diplomatic operation was initiated by Windsor. As a privileged count on the border, his identity gave him enough confidence to question the monarch-this is not the case. The totalitarian environment in which the rulers of the Ga Empire were absolutely unique.

“indeed so.”

Edward III nodded, did not deny it, and then said: “The safety of the envoys is very important for the empire, but at special times, with limited access to information. Didn’t Marquis Karen draw conclusions based on his own judgment? “

“The current information only allows me to make the following judgment, Your Majesty,” Marquis Karen smiled. “Of course this is only a possibility, but I think there is a’Dragon Knight’, and the envoy will certainly not encounter any disaster. Is not it?”

This is a bit of gloating. Duke Windsor, who didn’t wait for her eyebrows to flicker, said Lilith, who suddenly interjected: “Will it be good for you to continue expanding your territory? Marquis Karen.”

The children of the royal family can listen to government affairs, but rarely directly participate in or influence political decisions. Now Lilith’s sudden intrusion is a break from the routine-Edward III’s expression is a bit rich, but he does not have any anger, he just Slightly sideways, blocking Lilith’s front, looking at the Marquis of Karen, the meaning of protecting short is obvious.

“Lankinus’ daughter?” The Marquis of Karen narrowed his eyes slightly and answered with a smile: “Your question is not easy to answer. For the empire, the territory is a sign of strong national strength. The mainland appeared suddenly. The “black monsters” of the country are in crisis, and countries shrink their defenses…If it is done properly, Byzantium can certainly get a large territory-and as you asked about the benefits of “for me”, I am just watching the soldiers in the territory go for The country is pleased to dedicate its own strength.”

What this said makes people feel ashamed, but yet watertight, Lilith understands that she can’t ask for anything cheap from the cunning marquis, but he really touched the bottom line of this girl’s intolerance-listen to him there Random speculation about the safety of Murphys and the envoy was an unbearable torture. Her fingers were clenched tightly and she wanted to say something, but Edward III raised her hand to stop it. This Byzantine monarch would certainly not let Lang The daughter of Prince Kinus was aggrieved. Although it involves much more power than the Marquis of Karen in matters of national importance, such a main battle group’s move to take advantage of the fire when the mainland collectively fell into crisis is really a matter of assistance. It is simply not enough to consider.

Akar and Lilith are in the same mood. Although the duke has always been known for his elegance in imperial politics, which of the military aristocrats has no blood? There was no room for Karen to continue his rhetoric at all. He said bluntly: “The mainland coast and inland encounter equal threats. Now we should think about how to jointly resist this sudden crisis-Murphys has told various countries very early. Today’s scene will appear, but what are you doing? Taking advantage of the fire? Or do you think the Byzantine army is sure to have the upper hand when facing the naga or those black beasts?!”

“But the information I got from intelligence is that various countries have not suffered large-scale attacks by these black beasts, but only a small number of civilians who have not escaped have suffered some losses.” The Marquis of Karen ignored the Duke’s mouth from Murphy Si’s jǐng reported, his eyes flashing slightly.

“Your intelligence? Where does your intelligence come from? Does your intelligence represent the status quo?!” Duke Akar broke out completely, although knowing that the theme of the banquet today is “celebration” instead of quarreling, lovely Edward III will Contradictions were placed in front of everyone in advance.

His purpose is obvious. The Empire can no longer tolerate the so-called radicals having more say.

“Duke Azshara is above the venue~www.mtlnovel.com~ Are you in the intelligence gathering ability of one of the empire “Eagle Eyes?” The indifferent figure on the balcony facing all the banquet guests, “Don’t the Duke Dangdang own the “creed” intelligence network? Otherwise, I can’t think of any way to make you deny my judgment so eloquently!”

Karen looked at Edward III, but unexpectedly the monarch ridiculed at the moment. Although he didn’t speak, he made the marquise’s heart suddenly sink-he immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and looked across the venue. The guys who supported the Duke of Windsor looked around him with gloating faces, exactly the same as when he talked about Murphy just now.

What’s wrong?

Trying to stabilize his mood, the Marquis of Karen found that the original Duke of Azshara, who was holding red wine, walked slowly from a distance, gently sipped a glass of aging, as if inadvertently said: “‘Eagle’ ‘S intelligence network has collaborated and optimized with’Creed’, all after Murphys left Byzantium.”

The face of Marquis Karen changed suddenly!
