Chapter 767: Four Great Food Traps!
Inside the third floor Gravity Training Ground of the Star Pressure Palace.
Within the hazy purple space, a semi-circular blue space about five meters in diameter was enveloped. At the edges where the two spaces met, a faint, blurry trembling phenomenon could be seen.
This was because the Op-Op Fruit's domain was resisting the eighteen times gravity pouring down from outside under Im's will.
It was a pure contest between abilities, and also a form of strength training for the abilities themselves.
The next moment.
Four Flash Emitters moved rapidly along the tracks on the ceiling, continuously firing Golden Beams towards Im's position.
Although these beams had been adjusted so they wouldn't explode upon contact.
Their inherent ultra-high temperature and ultra-high speed were still enough to cause penetrating damage to the Human Body.
However.
This time, Im chose not to dodge, but stood steadily in place. At the same time, streaks of eerie green lightning suddenly appeared around him, meeting the incoming beams.
Immediately, the four golden Flash Beams and four green lightning beams collided repeatedly at different points within the purple space, generating bursts of Energy Explosions and deafening Loud Noises.
This caused the Ground of the Training Ground to crack in a spiderweb pattern.
Fortunately, under the eighteen times gravity environment, it was impossible for excessive Shockwaves to be generated, so it wouldn't affect the outside area. Otherwise, this Star Pressure Palace would already be in ruins.
Soon.
The Flash Emitters began to increase their firing frequency, and Im showed no weakness either.
For a time.
Inside the vast Gravity Training Ground, it became a group Battlefield of golden beams and green lightning.
Continuous energy clashes rose and fell, yet were firmly suppressed by the purple gravity, while the blue space resisted the full-scale pressure of the gravity.
And Im himself stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly observing with cold eyes.
This was the fighting style he preferred, rather than picking up Blades or swinging his fists and feet for close-quarters combat with others.
After all, he wasn't a true Sea Star Person, but a Transmigrator. Therefore, his Understanding of Combat wasn't like theirs, who always wanted to decide Victory or Defeat through head-on collisions.
This wasn't cowardice; it was purely Personal Preference, and preference would become Style.
So when he previously eliminated Rayleigh, who had trespassed into the Holy Land Mary Geoise, he used his self-created 'Sword Aura Group Attack' to slowly wear him down. Of course, it could also be called 'Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin' or something similar.
But if it were the former Im, if he had made a move, he would likely have killed him like a pure Swordsman, wielding a Long Sword.
As for these green lightning bolts now.
They were actually a variant Technique of 'Gamma Knife', called 'Gamma Ray'. Not only did they possess extremely strong Penetration Power, but they also had high killing power against Creature Cells.
In a sense, it was the nemesis of all Creature Physiques, including the so-called Perfect Being, Muzan Kibutsuji.
Because 'Gamma Ray' would cause Cells to die completely.
It could even penetrate the surface and directly sever internal organs and Muscles within the Human Body.
Finally, 'Gamma Ray' is a stream of gamma particles, essentially high-energy Electromagnetic Waves with a wavelength shorter than 0.1 angstroms, meaning it is also a type of Light.
Therefore, its Speed was comparable to Flash.
Since eating the Op-Op Fruit, Im had determined that its control over Gamma Ray was his Strongest killing Means.
Naturally, he focused on its Development and Training/Exercise.
For example, besides emitting 'Gamma Ray' in the form of Electro like this, he could also directly irradiate it in the form of Light Wave.
Anyone irradiated would be subjected to high-energy Radiation, and their fate would be miserable.
This was the importance of Knowledge and vision.
In the Canon, Trafalgar Law only treated it as a 'penetrating Short Sword' to stab people with.
While Im was silently cultivating to deal with future Strong enemies, the World and its affiliated Otherworlds were entering a period of rapid development under the Management of the World Government.
The Four Great Laws passed during two consecutive Reveries were making new progress and advancements every day under the busy work of a large number of Mid-to-Low Level Officials.
Namely:
The Law on the Complete Prohibition of Slave Trade and Complete Liberation of World Slaves, the Law on the Basic Living Conditions Guarantee System for All World Citizens.
The Law on the Reform of World Government Celestial Tribute Payment by Ratio, and the Law on Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration.
First, the Slave problem.
It wasn't that enacting relevant Laws would eliminate Slaves from the World.
The World was vast, and naturally there were many Nobility, and even Rich Merchants among the Civilian population, who still desired to be served by Slaves.
This created market demand, and naturally gave rise to Criminals who would take risks for Interests. These people, as long as they had a certain level of Combat power, could capture many people on the Sea and sell them as Slaves.
However, in recent years, the World Government's crackdown on Slave Trade has not diminished at all.
Because the man currently serving as the Minister of Police Affairs is named Monkey D. Dragon, and basically the main targets of his Police System are Slave Traders and Slave buyers.
This has led to Dragon and his three Division Chiefs gaining a reputation among the Civilian population that is not much smaller than that of the Military's Admirals.
These are Bartholomew Kuma, the Bureau Chief of the Public Security Bureau (Bureau Chief is Director Level), Charlotte Katakuri, the Bureau Chief of the Military Police Bureau, and 'Black Horse', the Bureau Chief of the Crime Investigation Bureau!
And the Experts of the Military Police Bureau have also become famous.
For example, Gaspardi, who ate the Special Paramecia Type Gummy-Gummy Fruit and is already a Deputy Bureau Chief, and Buck, who also ate the Special Paramecia Type Drunk-Drunk Fruit and is currently a Senior Police Superintendent.
There is also Charlotte Opera, another Special Paramecia Type Ability User. His Ability is the Cream-Cream Fruit. He is the Fifth Son of 'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin and is also currently a Senior Police Superintendent.
These three, along with Charlotte Katakuri, have begun to be referred to by the outside world as the 'Four Great Food Traps'.
The word "Traps" reflects their characteristic as Police Officers who only capture people and don't kill, and it is also a homophone for the two characters in "Military Police".
In addition.
From the Public Security Bureau, there are Three-Legged Cat and Fishing Little Cat, who are known as 'Black Cat Police Sergeant' and 'White Cat Police Sergeant'.
These two are not only both Zoan Type Cat-Cat Fruit Ability Users, but are also both Senior Police Superintendents now. They often carry out Missions with Kamado Tanjiro, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, and others.
As for the Basic Living Conditions Guarantee System and the Heavenly Tribute Proportional Payment Reform, there is nothing much to say.
The former is steadily progressing and is warmly welcomed by countless Citizens wherever it goes. Although the Great Nations and rich nations are not very willing regarding the latter, the more numerous Small Countries and Poor Nations wholeheartedly Support it.
It is worth mentioning that, under the intentional or unintentional actions of the World Government.
More and more Small Countries and Poor Nations have applied to give up their National Status and want all their citizens to move to the Red Line to live as Directly Controlled Cities.
This also requires the World Government to allocate a portion of people to specifically establish a relevant Department to be responsible for this.
Fortunately, the appearance of the 'Star Spirit' liberated a large number of low-level Officials, which happened to provide arrangements for these people. Those with excellent political achievements will naturally be promoted.
As for the Law on Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration.
Although there were some controversies and uncooperative individuals in the middle, with the strong Support of the World Government, the implementation effect has been quite good.
Now, there are so many Devil Fruits in the Holy Land Treasury that they have to expand the area to store them.
The information on registered Ability Users fills book after book. All of this is strengthening the Foundation of the World Government in various aspects!
"Hmm?"
Just as Im returned to his Harem from the Star Pressure Palace, Stussy suddenly ran over and delivered News that made him Delightful.
"Lord Im, Saint Marcus Mars has reported that the Research and Development Team led by Director Tom at Water Seven has successfully manufactured the first Sea Train!"
(End of this chapter)
# Chapter 768: Sea Train and Red Line Tunnel!
Sea Train!
Im was momentarily stunned when he heard these four words, as he had almost forgotten about this Research and Development Project.
In his Heart, this thing would take at least ten years of Time.
And now, only five years had barely passed.
He took the Report handed to him by Stussy and read it carefully.
Only after finishing did he realize he had underestimated the Speed of the World Government's progress in Technology and Materials.
The Report stated that the acceleration of the Sea Train's development, besides being inextricably linked to Tom's leadership, was also influenced by multiple factors.
Firstly, Guyram's participation provided significant help.
He was the former Shipwright of the World Pirates and also a Paramecia System Cube-Cube Fruit Ability User. Due to his exquisite Shipbuilding Technology, the World Government arranged for him to join the Ship Research Institute, where Tom served as Dean.
In addition to this.
Doctor Stylish, who had recently joined the Academy of Science Headquarters not long ago, also provided Suggestions and assistance to Tom in the Domain of Materials a few days prior.
The key Material among them was Sake Iron Ore, produced on Wano Island!
This is a miraculous Mineral that, when mixed in, can give Metal a certain 'drunkenness', which means a softening Effect.
The reason Wano Island can process the incredibly hard Seastone is precisely because they utilize the Characteristic of Sake Iron Ore.
With his super Genius Research mindset, Doctor Stylish developed a new Alloy Material using Sake Iron Ore, Seastone, Kabaneri's Heart Membrane, and the Flesh and Blood of Ocean-type Danger Beasts as Core Materials.
This Alloy, while ensuring its Strength did not decrease but rather increased, possessed a toughness comparable to the Blood Vessel within Sea Kings. At the same Time, it could also emit the unique Ocean Aura of Seastone.
Not only that, but even if this Alloy was damaged or even broken, it could absorb Seawater and quickly recover automatically.
Thus, he named it 'Sea King Alloy'.
It was the birth of this 'Sea King Alloy' that directly allowed the Sea Train to appear five years ahead of schedule.
Therefore, the saying that Materials restrict scientific development is indeed a Truth.
"Excellent! With the Sea Train, the Efficiency of sea Transportation is bound to see an explosive increase. Perhaps the Calm Belt will no longer be the so-called forbidden Zone!"
This made Im think of Shirahoshi, the 'Poseidon', who had not yet been born.
He wished she could appear sooner; that way, she could Order the Sea Kings to behave and prevent them from actively attacking the Train and Ship sailing on the Sea.
"Speaking of which, isn't there a 'Poseidon' now? Is it possible to let it try?"
Heimalin probably doesn't have the Ability to directly Order Sea Kings, but its Strength is Strong enough. Perhaps it can temporarily govern the Sea Kings, Im thought to himself.
Moreover, the word 'temporarily' is more reassuring. When Shirahoshi is born and grows up, its 'Poseidon' will naturally have to step down from the Throne (Position).
Not necessarily.
Given Shirahoshi's Personality, she probably won't compete with Heimalin for the 'Throne (Position)', but she will still possess the Highest Level Authority over the Sea Kings.
This is very good!
Seeing that Im was in a good mood, Stussy then continued to fulfill her Duty with an elegant Smile.
"Lord Imu, the Construction Department under the Political Affairs Department has decided to officially launch the 'Red Line Tunnel' Project on the last day of this year, December 31st!"
Im nodded upon hearing this. This was another World-class super Project.
The Plan is to dig two Tunnel through the Red Line that separates the Four Seas on both sides of Reverse Mountain.
This would allow Ship of all kinds from the East Blue and North Blue, as well as the South Blue and West Blue, to travel between them more easily. It would be even better if Sea Train were also set up.
However, its difficulties are also obvious.
The Red Line is a Continent. Digging through a Continent to create large-Scale Tunnel would be nothing short of a fantasy in Worlds like Demon Slayer World, Titan World, or even Imperial Arms World.
But the Construction Department dares to do this and has made ample preparations, just waiting to officially start work a month later.
Where does their confidence come from?
The World Government's Technological Power, Labor Force, as well as the Supernatural Power of Devil Fruits and Alchemists!
Oh, right.
The Construction Department was originally the Construction Department under the Administrative Department. Half a year ago, after multiple Meetings and discussions from various parties, it was finally decided to establish it as a separate Department-level Department.
This is because a Bureau Chief-level Department was already finding it difficult to Support the World Government's various super large-Scale Project.
Its core Personnel include Minister Lucien, Construction Engineering Construction Department Division Chief Pica, Architect Marshall D. Teach, and Senior Alchemist Elric, Code Name 'Steel'.
As well as Morley, who recently joined.
He is the Army Commander of the Revolutionary Army's 'West Army' in the Canon, a 140-year-old Giant Tribe Okama who ate the Paramecia System Push-Push Fruit.
Hmm, indeed, there are a bit too many elements~
This guy was actually caught as a Pirate eighty years ago and imprisoned in Impel Down. Later, he successfully escaped after creating the 5.5th Floor inside.
However, now is a Time when the World Government needs to employ people, so they naturally chose to selectively ignore this point.
Speaking of Okama.
Naturally, one can think of the 'Okama King' Emporio Ivankov. Currently, he/she is not yet the 'Queen' of the Kama Bakka Kingdom.
But he/she has already accepted the invitation from Dean Kureha of the Medical Academy and become a Senior Doctor.
This has further enhanced the World Government's Medical Strength and has also given many people whose bodies and minds do not match a Hope of changing their own Gender.
Returning to the main topic.
The 'Red Line Tunnel Project', Im remembered that the original proposer was that Kid Doflamingo. He was surprised when he first heard this idea.
Stussy glanced at the notebook in her hand.
"Finally, the Five Elders have requested instructions on whether to allow a limited opening of the Star Gate leading to the Demon Slayer World in January next year, for commercial trade between the Nation of both Worlds?"
"You may."
Im nodded and agreed. This Matter had been under Consideration for a long Time.
The so-called limited opening means restricting the open population and restricting the open Zone. The restricted Zone is the Bangzi Peninsula located in the Demon Slayer World.
Because there is a Medium Star Gate leading to the Titan World there, unauthorized Personnel are not allowed to approach or enter without Permission.
However.
Im actually hopes to find an Otherworld that can be opened to the Citizens, allowing them to experience the Exotic Customs of Another World.
Imperial Arms World feels possible.
It's just that the Danger Beasts everywhere are a bit dangerous, but the Life Environment on World also has various Giant Beasts and Fierce Beasts, so the Sea Star People probably won't care too much about these.
When it comes to Adventurous Spirit, few people from other Worlds can truly compare to them.
"Speaking of which, the Zero no Tsukaima World is also not bad. Although there are Monsters, they are not very Strong, and it is sparsely populated with very good Scenery."
Unconsciously, Im thought of Mima Amatori again: "Let's see his Performance first. Six people are going to unify the World? Sounds quite interesting."
If this Kid actually achieves it, he can be considered for further promotion.
For example, giving the Captain position of Cipher Pol No. 8 to Mima Amatori!
Chapter 769: Mystery is Not Understanding!
Fifth Star Gate, Zero Magic World.
The Tristain Kingdom, ever since decisively defeating the Regen Zista Religion's Great Army of seventy thousand with Louise's Void Magic, gained widespread fame on the Halkeginia Continent.
At the same time, the ten Magic Flying Ships and fifty Cannons obtained from Prince Wales also significantly boosted the Nation's Military Strength.
However, the Griffin Magic Guard was severely damaged, suffering over two thousand Casualties.
But the originally pleasant Atmosphere was broken by two Envelopes from the Germania Kingdom.
"Tell me, what is this about?"
Duchess Marianne sat upright on the Throne, shaking the Letter in her hand with a displeased Expression.
"King Albrecht III says that since you and King Wales of the Albion Kingdom already have feelings for each other, he might as well dissolve the Engagement!"
"This..."
Princess Henrietta was a little panicked, but then saw her Mother take out a second Letter, looking at her with eyes full of disappointment: "The other party even copied the Original Copy of the Love Letter you wrote to King Wales."
"Ah?!"
Princess Henrietta quickly took the Letter and scanned through it. After reading, her face was completely consumed by shame, leaving only a low murmur of self-talk.
"This... this... how is this possible..."
"What's there to think about?"
Duchess Marianne sighed deeply: "It must be the work of that King Wales. He wants to destroy your Engagement, but this not only insults your reputation, it also makes our Royalty completely lose face. What a cruel person!"
But Princess Henrietta shook her head repeatedly, her Feelings appearing very Excited.
"No! Wales... His Majesty wouldn't be this kind of Human. There must be some misunderstanding here!"
However, in her Heart, she actually also had some suspicion. After all, after Louise returned, she clearly stated that her Letter had been delivered into Prince Wales's hands.
But she was unwilling to believe that her lover would be so despicable.
"Never mind, never mind. Things have come to this point, and saying anything more is meaningless. Since you no longer have an Engagement, prepare to take over as Queen."
Duchess Marianne also didn't want to overly pressure her Daughter. After all, as a Women, she also understood the Feeling of love.
"However, try your best to forget these Feelings. You are destined not to be together. Believe that you yourself also know this Principle..."
Princess Henrietta lowered her head and didn't answer.
Because on the Halkeginia Continent, there is a Rules among the Nobility: a Queen who has ascended the throne can marry and have children, but must not marry and have children with another King.
The reason behind this, some understand, some don't.
But for so many years, everyone has been following it, and no exceptions have occurred.
"Yes."
Facing Duchess Marianne's long, direct Gaze, Princess Henrietta could only suppress her uncomfortable Feelings and nod in agreement.
Ten days later.
The Albion Kingdom, far from the Continent and floating above the High Altitude, had its originally chaotic domestic Environment basically calmed down.
All the Civilian thought that the days ahead would be as peaceful as before.
However.
The middle and higher-level Officer and Official noticed something was wrong.
Because the modification of Magic Warships, the forging of Cannons, and the Mass Production of Breech-loading Rifles, as well as the Training of Soldiers organized in batches to familiarize themselves with Shooting Combat, were still ongoing.
What was this for?
But the current King Wales had just finished the Cleaning of domestic rebels, and his Prestige had already reached its peak, so no one dared to come and question anything.
Inside the Royal Palace Castle.
"Your Majesty, look. Princess Henrietta has successfully become the Queen of the Tristain Kingdom. It's truly worth celebrating."
"I suggest you go there soon, and by the way, push the matter of the Envelope onto me, and then propose marriage."
Mima Amatori and King Wales sat facing each other at the two ends of the Office Desk.
The former's tone was very gentle, and his Attitude towards the latter was also very respectful. It's just that the words spoken didn't sound much like a Suggestion.
"I, I know what to do."
King Wales agreed very obediently.
Seeing this, Mima Amatori revealed a satisfied Smile: "Good. As long as His Majesty is obedient, you will definitely obtain everything you want, whether it's Women or Status!"
Now, King Wales's Mind was under the Control of Andvari's Ring.
Speaking of which, this thing, Andvari's Ring, can indeed be called a World Secret Treasure. There are two methods of Control over people alone.
One type is close-range continuous Control. This method can manipulate the other party's Body behavior according to the ring-wearer's Will, but it will not affect the other party's Consciousness and Thought.
One type is mid-range charm Control. Although this method cannot directly control the other party's Body behavior, the other party's Consciousness will be affected, for example, Loyalty to the ring-wearer.
However, if the ring-wearer takes off the Ring or dies, all previously controlled individuals will undergo Recovery.
Furthermore.
If a person's Mental Power is strong enough or their Feelings are very Excited, it is also possible to break the Control Effect on themselves.
There's just one regrettable point.
It must be activated using Magic Power, so Mima Amatori could only let Valter use it in his place.
And the reason Valter obeyed him.
It was because after Mima Amatori roughly understood Valter's character and Thought, he secretly found him trapped in the Prison Cell and talked for a night.
He finally determined that this was a Human who also pursued greater Strength and higher Authority.
The reason Valter joined the Regen Zista Religion, besides being influenced by Andvari's Ring's Mind, was also attracted by the Regen Zista Religion's Target of attempting the Conquest of the Whole World.
Furthermore, he himself also had a plan: to find an opportunity to kill Cromwell, snatch the other party's Andvari's Ring, and then rise up to become the Ruler of the World.
Mima Amatori understood this kind of Human too well, because he himself was this kind of Human.
So he directly stated that he also planned to use the Albion Kingdom to carry out the Conquest of the Whole World. It's just that the two of them didn't know each other at the time and unluckily chose opposing sides.
But now they could join forces, and he casually threw the Andvari's Ring to the other party.
Anyway, this thing was useless to him.
Valter wasn't a fool either; he had already witnessed Mima Amatori's Strength before.
So he simply chose to obediently submit, preparing to follow the latter and see how things went, because he always felt that this group of people led by Mima Amatori was very mysterious.
Mysterious means not understanding.
Then no matter what plans there were, one had to first understand.
Four days later.
Wales came to the Tristain Kingdom again and met Henrietta. The Identity of this pair of lovers was no longer what it used to be: one was a King, one was a Queen.
But as soon as night fell and it was quiet, the two couldn't help but meet secretly.
"Your Majesty, why did that Letter appear in King Albrecht III's hands?"
Wales faced Henrietta's slightly angry questioning in his arms.
Directly following Mima Amatori's instructions, he said it was because Mima Amatori saw that he thought of the other party every day and took it upon himself to do this somewhat despicable thing.
And by the time he knew, it was too late, which was also the reason he rushed over this time: he wanted to explain clearly to her in person.
"So that's how it is..."
Queen Henrietta looked at King Wales's clear Eyes and believed him, because in her Heart, the other party would not lie to her, and was even less that kind of bad Human.
But just then, Wales leaned into her ear and whispered: "Marry me, Henrietta..."
"What?!"
This caused her Expression to suddenly change drastically, her face covered with a look of shock.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 770: The King of Fun-Seekers!
"King Wales, you, what did you say?!"
Queen Henrietta suspected she had misheard, but King Wales faced her resolutely and said again, "Marry me, Henrietta, I love you!"
"How can this be?"
"I, our identities..."
Queen Henrietta pushed him away in a flustered manner, saying anxiously with a panicked expression, "You should know about these matters, why..."
"I know!"
King Wales walked over, and while stroking the girl's fair face, he smiled and said, "But I don't want to follow this rule. If no one has ever broken the rule before, then let me be the one."
"But..."
Princess Henrietta bit her cherry lips tightly, her flickering gaze filled with conflict and hesitation. But then King Wales held her soft hands and continued affectionately.
"I have already experienced the heart-wrenching suffering of giving you up. But at that time, for the sake of the Albion Kingdom, I could only force myself to be calm and Rationality."
"Fortunately, Brimir blessed me. With your and Louise's help, I was able to reclaim the Nation. But when I sat on the Throne (Position), there wasn't much joy in my Heart, because I had still lost the Girl I loved."
"Amatori's actions, although I don't approve, I have to admit, they showed me the Hope of having you. On this point, I must admit, I am very grateful to him!"
Perhaps even Wales himself couldn't distinguish.
Whether these words came from his Heart, true feelings hidden within, or were insincere words influenced by the Magic Power of Andvari's Ring.
"King Wales..."
Queen Henrietta gazed blankly at King Wales's Eyes.
"Henrietta, let us face the Gale and Heavy Rain together. Now we have the Strength to defend our love, but this requires the most important thing, Courage!"
King Wales asked softly, "I have this Courage, what about you? Henrietta..."
The Room where they were meeting fell silent for a moment.
Speaking of which.
The Place they were currently in was quite interesting. It was the De Ornières Territory, located west of the Capital Tristania, about an hour's Horse ride away, specifically the Underground secret Section within the Castle.
It was also the Place where Henrietta's grandfather used to meet his lovers outside.
In the 'Canon', it was granted to Hiraga Saito by Henrietta as his Territory. He then appeared here directly from the Capital City via that 'Magic Mirror' to meet her.
At that time, she was even wearing Sexiness pajamas...
However, that was after Wales's death. Now, due to the appearance of Mima Amatori and others, Wales was still alive and well, which naturally meant her Heart had never changed.
"Yes!"
"King Wales, I am willing to face everything that comes after with you!"
Queen Henrietta's expression became firm. Since the other party had said and done so much, she should also fight for her own happiness.
Even if the Opponents were the entire Continent!
The next day.
Queen Henrietta summoned all the Dignitary of the Kingdom and publicly announced her marriage to King Wales.
At the same time, she stated that after the marriage, the Tristain Kingdom would still remain the Tristain Kingdom.
This second point was clearly meant to appease everyone.
But just as she was prepared to face fierce opposition from everyone, she was surprised to find that the High Rank Nobility within the Palace Hall all expressed their Support and approval.
This rendered all the arguments Henrietta had prepared useless. Instead, the wedding Detail were discussed and decided upon very quickly.
Even Duchess Marianne merely remained silent.
Queen Henrietta vaguely felt something strange, but also thought that everything going smoothly was a good thing. In any case, she was determined to marry King Wales.
Yet another day passed.
The various Kingdom on the Halkeginia Continent were shocked by the joint declaration from the Albion Kingdom and the Tristain Kingdom.
King Wales and Queen Henrietta were getting married!
How could this be?
How dare they?
"Hahahahaha, interesting, truly interesting, too interesting!!"
In the Royal Palace of the Gallia Kingdom, located southwest of the Tristain Kingdom, King Joseph, who had usurped the Throne (Position) through the Assassination of his Elder Brother, couldn't stop laughing.
This burly man, who not only had blue hair but also wore a blue fur Robe, was also Tabitha's uncle.
"It is indeed surprising. I never expected that King Wales would have such audacity. He is challenging the basic Rules of the Nobility."
Below the platform, a female voice filled with Intellectuality and Rationality rang out.
Looking again.
This person was none other than Sheffield, who had previously served as the Governor of the 'Regent Zistaria Kingdom' and led a Great Army of seventy thousand to invade the Tristain Kingdom.
A bewitching woman with black hair and purple lips.
"Isn't this great? This way, we don't need to find any more excuses. We can directly Declare War in the name of Trial the traitors among the Nobility!"
King Joseph's face was full of Excitement.
"Finally, This World has become interesting! When the time comes, we must properly thank this pair of lovers who are worthy of being recorded in history!"
He had already begun preparing to start a War.
But not for Conquest, nor because of greed, Ambition, or such things.
Purely because he found the World too boring and wanted to try something.
Ah, to put it bluntly, this is a King who seeks fun. He just wants to play, and even if he knows many people will die from his games, he doesn't care at all.
"But Your Majesty, the other side has a Void User who can defeat a Great Army of seventy thousand in one go..."
As soon as Sheffield recalled the ultimate White Light that dyed the entire World white, a look of shock involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Hmm, that is a problem."
King Joseph stroked his Chin with the short blue Beard and pondered for a moment before saying, "But she is only one person after all. If we open up several Battlefields, what can she do?"
"Furthermore, as This King knows, the Void Magic capable of stunning seventy thousand people requires an immense amount of Mental Power. The opponent cannot use it consecutively in a short period!"
Sheffield suddenly understood after hearing this, and looked at King Joseph on the Throne with a look of infatuation: "As expected of you, Your Majesty. You are simply the most perfect King..."
"Heh heh, after all, This King is also a Void User~"
King Joseph revealed a meaningful Smile.
Yes.
He was one of the four Void User, and Sheffield below him was his Familiar, 'Muzejnitnirun', representing 'God's Intellect'.
Her Void Ability could control all Magic things, including Magic Beast, Magic Puppet, and Magic Item!
"In that case, send someone to contact King Albrecht III of the Germania Kingdom and ask him if he's interested in sending troops together to arrest that dog couple~"
King Joseph didn't believe that King Albrecht III, whose fiancée had been 'stolen', wouldn't feel any Qi in his Heart.
When the time comes.
With the two great Kingdom acting together, it would be enough to destroy the mere Tristain Kingdom sandwiched between them. Only the Albion Kingdom was worth noting.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sheffield received the Order and quickly left the Main Hall. King Joseph's Gaze was fixed on the ceiling of the Main Hall.
"That's more like it. The World should be lively. Let's see what happens when all the Void Assembly together. I hope it's interesting..."
Author's Note: Taking a day off.
(End of Chapter)
# Chapter 771: A Flash of Golden Light!
As 'King of Fun' King Joseph expected.
King Albrecht III of the Germania Kingdom only considered it for a day before agreeing to send troops to the Tristain Kingdom and the Albion Kingdom.
Thus.
The Tristain Kingdom, which had always been sandwiched between the Gallia Kingdom and the Germania Kingdom, was about to face encirclement from all directions except the North.
(Equivalent to France and Germany simultaneously attacking Belgium and the Netherlands, with the latter having the Albion Kingdom/Britain as an ally)
However, what puzzled King Joseph was that there had been no response from Romalia.
One must know that as a religious nation that believes in Brimir, they have always valued such rules greatly.
Although a King marrying a Queen is, strictly speaking, unrelated to religion, as the Pope has the qualification to grant Royal Authority, it would not be unreasonable for him to intervene and impose sanctions on such behavior that violates Noble Rules.
But now, His Holiness Pope Vittorio San Rebare San Aegis XXIII was silent?
Why?
Joseph truly couldn't understand.
If His Holiness the Pope had stepped forward to condemn King Wales and Queen Henrietta, only then would they have truly incurred the wrath of everyone on the entire Continent.
But regardless, after the Declarations of War from the Gallia Kingdom and the Germania Kingdom were sent out, these two Great Nations on the Halkeginia Continent began mobilizing their forces.
If the Albion Kingdom could field a Great Army of seventy thousand, they naturally had no problem doing the same.
The two sides even tacitly rounded up the numbers, pushing their Total Military Strength to a Great Army of one hundred and fifty thousand!
The two Nations communicated briefly.
The Gallia Kingdom, located on the West Side of the Continent, would primarily defend against the Albion Kingdom's side, only needing to detach ten thousand Troops to attack the West Side of the Tristain Kingdom.
Don't underestimate the ten thousand; this was already comparable to nearly eighty percent of the Tristain Kingdom's Military Strength.
There was no helping it; it was simply too small.
Meanwhile, the Germania Kingdom on the East Side divided its forces into three routes.
Two routes, each with thirty thousand men, would attack the East Side of the Tristain Kingdom from two directions.
The remaining ten thousand would board the majority of the Magic Flying Ships and circle towards the Albion Kingdom, which exists at High Altitude from the Great Sea, forcing them to constantly worry about their rear homeland.
Yes, it was that simple.
There were no miraculous Schemes and Tricks, just relying on Military Advantage to launch multi-pronged attacks.
Even if the Tristain Kingdom had Louise, she could only attend to one Battlefield.
Regarding this Situation, the Tristain Kingdom naturally knew about this, which caused a pessimistic atmosphere of Thought to pervade the entire Nation.
No one believed they could withstand the pincer attack from the two Great Nations.
Yet, among the Higher-ups of the Nobility, not a single person stood out to voice an opposing Opinion, and instead, under Queen Henrietta's Order, they did their best to prepare for what they could do.
However, even a clever housewife cannot cook without rice; how could they make Arrangements with just over ten thousand Troops?
"'All of Tristain's Troops will be stationed on the West Side; they only need to block the ten thousand Troops from the Gallia Kingdom.'"
Mima Amatori, accompanied by Mekko and Levi behind him, stood in the Main Hall of the Castle, a hint of an elegant Smile on his face, looking at Queen Henrietta on the Throne.
"'As for the Great Army of the Germania Kingdom, just leave it to us.'"
His words immediately caused surprise and doubt among the Dignitaries on both sides, yet for some reason, no one stepped forward to shout or accuse him.
"'That... may I ask how you intend to withstand the military might of Germania?'"
Queen Henrietta asked with Doubt.
Naturally, she couldn't easily believe Mima Amatori. After all, if he couldn't deliver on his promise, the East Side of the Tristain Kingdom would be completely undefended.
"'Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, we have two 'Pentagram' class Magic Dolls, which are Magic War Weapons newly developed by the Albion Kingdom based on Ancient Magic. It is said they are even Magic Creations of the 'Progenitor' Brimir.'"
Mima Amatori had already prepared an Explanation that would allow these people to easily understand and believe.
"'So that's it!'"
Queen Henrietta and the other Higher-ups and Dignitaries all looked as if they had suddenly understood.
Ancient Magic, Brimir.
These two words were enough to give them a very strong sense of Safety. All they needed to do next was see the actual objects to feel reassured.
Don't find it absurd.
In this 'Zero Magic World', 'Progenitor' Brimir had such credibility.
Except for the Elf Race, all Humans believed that Brimir was omnipotent, because he was the God of Magic who founded the Magic System.
Therefore, his Magic Creations must be reliable.
The Commotion of the four Nations stirred up the Situation across the entire Halkeginia Continent.
On the Earth of the Gallia Kingdom, tens of thousands of Soldiers, Knights, and Carriages pulling Cannons formed an endless line stretching towards the North.
And in the Sky, Magic Warships and Magic Flying Ships, carrying noble Mages and a portion of Troops serving as Guards, arrived first near the Border of the Tristain Kingdom.
At this Time, the Magic Fleet from the Albion Kingdom had already been waiting on the opposite side for a long time.
The combined number of Magic Flying Ships from both sides, exceeding two hundred, seemed to completely cover the entire azure Sky.
They arrayed their Situation, confronting each other, yet not daring to open fire easily.
Because it wasn't Time yet.
So they merely held their ground, sending the Vanguard and Mages from the Airships down to the Ground, allowing the Mages skilled in Earth Magic to begin constructing Defensive Works.
This was War between two Great Nations; it could basically only be conducted openly and honorably.
However, on the other side, on the East Side of the Tristain Kingdom, the two routes of the Germania Kingdom's Great Army drove straight in, encountering no resistance at the Border.
"'The Intelligence was actually true; they really didn't arrange any Troops for Defense on our side...'"
Marshal Nixar stood on the Deck of a Magic Warship, first overlooking the lush Earth below, then scanning the Sky around him, which showed no sign of enemy Battleships.
"'What is Queen Henrietta thinking?'"
"'Hehehe, Marshal Lord, perhaps she has given up.'"
Another General chuckled lightly: "'After all, even if they mobilize the entire Nation's military, or even temporarily conscript civilians as Soldiers, they couldn't possibly have more than twenty thousand Military Strength.'"
"'This amount is barely enough to resist the Gallia Kingdom's Attack, and even if they were to divide their forces to block us, how many could they spare? We have a full thirty thousand here~'"
Marshal Nixar was not so optimistic, merely glancing at him.
"'Lord Slav, have you forgotten about that Void User? If we encounter the opponent on our side, then you and I must be prepared to die in battle or be captured.'"
"'This... cough cough, we shouldn't be that unlucky, right?'"
General Slav hesitated.
"'The Troops from the Gallia Kingdom attacking Tristain are only around ten thousand, while our two routes from Germania each have around thirty thousand. It's impossible for the opponent to deploy the Void User to the Gallia side, so the possibility of us encountering the opponent here is fifty percent...'"
But just as Marshal Nixar was finishing his sentence, he suddenly felt a flash of golden Light before his eyes.
The next moment, with a Loud Noise, a Magic Warship about two hundred meters away to the left instantly turned into a Fireball in a violent Explosion.
The Mages and Soldiers on the Ship didn't even have Time to make Exclamations or Screams.
"'What?!'"
