"Queen Elizabeth is dead!" Everyone was shocked by the news that Hedram had brought.

"Well, not only that, but even the Earl of Essex is dead!" Hedram smiled bitterly, if they knew this, why would they fight to the death with Clifford.

After listening to Hedlam's narration, everyone felt very ridiculous. It turned out that the Earl of Essex was executed by Queen Elizabeth, of course, not because of the blueprints for the construction of the new battleship.

The Earl of Essex was relieved of his military power by the Queen after returning to London from France, and after their voyage, the Earl of Essex did a rare foolish deed. He led his henchmen into the city of London in the hope of restoring his power, and was executed by the queen for treason.

After the execution of the Earl of Essex, the queen also fell ill from the death of her heartbroken lover, and died of illness a few days ago. What's even more dramatic is that King Henry IV of France is also seriously ill, and the gossip in the French court is that the French king may not survive for a few days. The honeymoon period between Britain and France is coming to an end, and the two European giants are likely to return to the ranks of sworn enemies.

"We can go back to Stockholm!" Hedram couldn't understand what mood he was in right now, life was really as unpredictable as a drama, and it seemed as if a pair of hands had already written the script for them.

Xu Mo and Dina glanced at each other, all of this had nothing to do with them, and they would return to space in a few days. However, the two were still happy for Hedlam, after all, being away from home for a few years was not a good choice to be a wandering pirate.

"Alfred, you'll join Frieza and a few other newly promoted officers at the Royal Swedish Naval Academy for nautical courses. His Majesty Gustav will receive you personally and grant the Anderson family the status of hereditary baron, Alfred, congratulations! Hedram congratulated him from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Admiral!" Xu Mo had no choice but to pretend to be happy and accept everyone's congratulations.

……

Two days later, Xu Mo returned to Stockholm with Dinah and several new officers, and Hedram and the others remained in Oslo, and they would not return to Stockholm until the Hell God and Vestelos were repaired.

"Your Majesty, it's an honor to be received by you!" In the Swedish royal palace Gemrastan Castle, Xu Mo was receiving an audience with Gustav II with a group of newly promoted officers.

"Knight Alfred, oh no, my Baron Alfred, I have finally seen you! In his letter to me, Hedram said a lot about you, and it looks like Sweden will have another outstanding admiral! The young king said with a blushing face.

Gustav II was a tall man, with a youthful face full of vigor and a succinct speech, showing his shrewd and capable nature. The king is only 18 years old this year, and he has only been on the throne for a year, but he already controls the military and political power of Sweden, and he is a real monarch worthy of the name.

"Your Majesty, my personal contribution to Sweden is insignificant, and it was the sacrifice of many Viking sailors that led to the great victory. For this reason, I hope to be able to obtain a letter of commendation from the royal family for them, and bring glory to their families! Xu Mo said with a sigh.

"Of course, your proposal is very good, and I will personally draft the content of this letter of commendation. The families of the sailors who receive the letter of commendation will not only receive the benefits of the naval battle, but the Swedish royal family will also give them convenience in all aspects of life, and they will win the respect of all Swedes for their heroes. After Gustav II received Xu Mo's suggestion, his eyes immediately lit up, and he added Xu Mo's proposal substantively.

Hearing Gustav II's words, Xu Mo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then sighed again that only in this way could the king turn Sweden into a powerful empire that would be feared by all European powers in the coming decades.

……

"Does Irene Sykes live here?" In front of a dilapidated bungalow in Stockholm, a palace guard on a tall horse arrived, followed by an aristocratic officer with a nonchalant expression.

"Ah...... Look, there's something going on over there with Irene......"

"Go see, Sykes ......"

"Well, it looks like Rasiu has news......

“……”

Neighbors in the civilian neighborhood pushed the door and gathered around the Sykes house......

“…… My lord, I'm Irene Sykes......" A young girl with a silk scarf wrapped around her head stepped out of the bungalow, her delicate face faintly bearing the shy shadow of Rasius.

“…… Rathieu Sykes,...... Outstanding performance,...... Recorded in the history of the Imperial Navy,...... The Royal Secretariat will pay monthly pensions to the immediate family members of the Sykes family,...... Written by Adolf Gustav. After dismounting, the palace guards read aloud the letter of commendation drafted by Gustav II.

"It was a letter of commendation drafted by His Majesty himself, oh my God!" The onlookers let out a burst of exclamations.

"Brother...... Woo woo...... "Irene took the letter of commendation, and after only a few lines, she buried her face in her hands and sobbed, letting it fall to the ground.

“…… Put it away, this is Latheus fighting for the future for you with his life, don't let him down! The noble officer behind the palace guard leaned over and picked up the commendation letter, flicked the stain on it, and handed it to Irene along with a small wine bag, "This is left by Lasiux, he saved my life, if you are in trouble in the future, go to the Royal Naval College to find an officer named Frieza, he is a good friend of Lasiux, he will help you!" ”

……

"Are you Melsa?" A middle-aged officer with a fierce face knocked on the bar of the small hotel and asked Melsa behind the bar.

"Yes,...... Great, my lord, do you have something to ask me for? Mersa looked at the naval officer with an ugly scar on his face in alarm.

“…… This is what Hurd left for you! A soft smile appeared on the officer's fierce face, and from his bosom he took out an ice crystal rose that radiated a brilliant starlight.

"What a beautiful rose ......"

"It's a treasure......"

"Hurd's boy...... Join the army and make a fortune! The crowd in the lobby of the hotel let out a cry of amazement.

"Great, my lord, please wait, Hurdta......" Mersa chased the officer to the door of the hotel in surprise.

"Hurd is a hero, he's a real man!" The officer said with a smile, and the scar on his face seemed to become peaceful.

"Hurd......" Mersa looked at the ice crystal rose in her hand and leaned against the door frame of the small hotel in a daze.

……

"My Little Blakeney......" In a splendid living room, a graceful lady could no longer care about aristocratic etiquette, and held a letter of commendation and wept silently in front of the guests......

More than 100 families in Stockholm were plunged into sleepless nights, and the awards and bereavements from His Majesty the King and the royal family did not alleviate their grief in the slightest, and the rise of the Swedish Navy was destined to be accompanied by the blood and tears of many families on both sides.

……

"Let's go, Dinah!" Xu Mo stood on an uninhabited hillside outside Stockholm, glanced at Stockholm in the night again, and said to Dinah, who had snow-white hair beside him.

After contacting the soul imprint and asking to exit this world, the consciousness of the two gradually blurred, they did not notice that their bodies did not turn into a little fluorescence and be absorbed by the soul imprint like in the previous task worlds, but the entire soul imprint broke away from the law body, broke through the space and disappeared without a trace.

Two bewildered bodies were left in the same place on the hillside, but after a few moments, their eyes flashed, their eyes regained their agility, they looked at each other and walked towards Stockholm......
