Chapter 984: Return of Glory

Grand Duke Vivien Leigh's expeditionary fleet had disappeared into the sky, but Downton still stood in place, his eyes deep, looking into the distance covered by the sunset, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Although you have a sister gone, there is another one, and you have left Elaine in Saint Laurent for a long time, and you don't want to see her?"

Homer tries to distract Downton, after all, separation is always sad, let alone for someone as emotional as him.

Even if Celes said to let Downton go to see her, Homer knew that they might not have a chance to see each other again in this life.

The Banshee Grand Duke was very generous and allowed Downton to send students to study at the Psychic Academy, which was not only the most famous university in the Dead Continent, but also a household name among all of you, ranking among the top ten universities in all of you.

Downton refused, because he knew that once these elite international students left, they would not come back, and Grand Duke Vivien Leigh had many ways to keep them.

Because of the existence of the Porusna Dungeon, Downton was able to build a portal to the Dead Continent in stealth, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

"It's a good thing you didn't do it, otherwise you would be a traitor to the Western Earth Continent!"

Homer warned Downton very strictly, with Downton's current strength, he couldn't hold the dungeon at all, and the undead were likely to develop their power in that dungeon first, and then use it as a springboard to conquer the Western Lands.

"Am I that stupid?" Downton rolled his eyes, returning to the important topic, "Have you seen the battleship blueprints?"

"Do you think it's a joke that the Dead Continent is called the main plane? The people's magical civilization, magic technology, and even the production process of advanced materials are several generations higher than that of the Western Earth Continent, and building warships is a comprehensive process, although Archduke Vivien Leigh is very generous, in addition to the battleship drawings, he also gave the drawings of related technologies, but with the current technical level of the magic industry in Frankfurt, he wants to copy it. It will take at least thirty years!"

Homer reported the year, which was directly like a basin of cold water, pouring Downton into a cold heart.

"Aren't those technical drawings a waste of paper?"

Downton was disappointed.

"No, you married Sissi, and using the industrial strength of Bavaria, I believe that it will be successfully imitated soon. And the technological innovation it brings will also increase Lombardy's national strength and influence!"

Homer built yƬ.

"How many years?"

After Downton asked, he felt that he didn't seem to have much respect for Sissi by doing so.

"If you go all out, at least five years!" Homer persuaded, "Sissi is a nice girl, you shouldn't waste time on Xia Luo, who doesn't love you!"

"Let's talk about it later, I'll go write a script first!"

Downton grabbed his hair irritably and turned to leave.

Grand Duke Vivien Leigh gave so many things. It's not without requirements, Downton sends a novel of no less than 500,000 words every year, and the script is okay, but the quality cannot be lower than that of Notre Dame Cathedral.

Heinrich left, and Downton, with the support of several major empires, was elected as the first speaker of NATO without suspense.

NATO is Heinrich's leading governing platform, a means for him to realize his plans, not to mention Downton. Even those empires didn't know what to do, so they took the cold treatment. The delegates went back to their homes as if the meeting had never happened.

"I've already helped you repair the wounds on the soul fruit, and the next thing is to recuperate. After checking Downton's physical condition, Saint Lily persuaded, "Don't meditate and cultivate anymore, rest for a while." If you want to hurry, you can't get there!"

"Hmm!" Downton hesitated, but still asked, "I activated the Divine Word last time, but I can't say it now!"

"Hehe, isn't that normal? If you master the Prophet the first time. That's called a freak!" Saint Lily teased.

"Huh?"

Downton was stunned.

"You can activate the Divine Word at the Scepter Level, feel the power of the law, and you are already a genius among geniuses, what else do you want? Even if it is a legend, you can't use the Divine Word at will!"

Saint Lily explained that any magical energy in this world constitutes a cycle, and the greater the power obtained, the greater the price to pay, and the burden on the body is too great to launch the Divine Word, and sometimes it will directly lead to the collapse of the body, so every time you use the Divine Word, you are risking your life again.

"Why?"

Downton wondered.

Saint Lily shook her head and didn't answer, of course she knew that Downton didn't ask about the gods, but asked herself why she told him this, you must know that this is a person's perception and experience, which is precious, and it will not be passed on, after all, a genius with outstanding combat wisdom like Downton is likely to infer the weakness of the saint from between the lines.

"I'm leaving, if you go to Paris, the royal city of Yves Saint Laurent, you might as well go to the ruins of the Holy Court, maybe it will be of some benefit to you!"

Holy Lily turned to leave.

"Why?"

Downton grabbed Lily's wrist, and sure enough, the tentacles were so delicate that people wanted to hold her in their arms.

"You know what? You're the first man I've met in ten years!"

The holy lily chuckled, but Downton read a strong hostility in it, and at this moment, the holy woman was not angry and arrogant, and the momentum of the strong suddenly exploded.

"I'm sorry!"

Downton let go, "I just want to know, a holy woman, why help me?

"You're cooler than Heinrich?"

Saint Lily asked rhetorically, which made Downton laugh bitterly, that man is the one who makes women want to recommend their own pillows.

"Don't think about it, it's a friend who asked me to help you, remember to go to the Holy Court Ruins!" Saint Lily left, and after walking for a while, he couldn't help but look back, "Originally, I just wanted to help my friend, but I didn't expect that there would be an extra harvest, Heavenly Holy Flame Soul Tree?

The Rosicky brothers and sisters are gone, and Downton has no intention of helping Xue Man, not to mention that those royals don't want to see him at all, and they have been on guard, fearing that he will occupy the magpie's nest.

"Did you really give it to me?"

Sissi ran around the deck, admiring the undead-style battleship and asked in surprise.

"Hmm!"

Not to mention that Sissi gave Downton a Supreme Ring worth 30 billion gold coins, even if he didn't, he wanted to give her back a long time ago, but he didn't have a gift that he could get his hands on before.

"Forget it. I understand your intentions, but the battleship should be driven back, you now need the air force to deter the neighboring countries!"

Sissi stroked the side of the ship and refused, as the princess of the second emperor, she naturally also had an exclusive battleship. It's just that it doesn't have such a huge domineering ship, after all, the undead battleship is used to conduct war.

"Take it!" Downton smiled, "I'm going back too, I'm done with my business, and then I'm going to visit my sister in Paris!"

"I have to go home too, if you have time, remember to come and see me!"

With the coming-of-age ceremony just around the corner, Sissi's schedule is also intensive, as a princess. She also has her own responsibilities, and it is precisely because of her father's favor that she redoubles her efforts and does not want to live up to him.

"Good!"

When he came to Xueman, Downton was worried about being treated as a head bird to find trouble, and he didn't even dare to sit on the flagship, but now it's okay, with the titles of NATO Speaker, Bavaria's Quasi-Prince, and the first rising star of the North. His air fleet sailed from the Intramuros to Frankfurt.

It was a demonstration. It is a declaration of force, and he wants to let those surrounding countries know that Frankfurt has risen under his leadership, and he will either choose to lie dormant or choose to perish!

"If you do this, it's likely that they will unite against you!"

Chadley stood on deck. Blowing the north wind into winter, I sighed.

The road was a lot of jumping and Downton deliberately chose the passage directly above those cities, and every time he flew over one, he could see the panicked citizens running away. These small countries have no air power, they can only watch and pray, hoping that the warships will not attack.

Chadley didn't need to look to know that these city lords didn't have to think about sleeping peacefully until they figured out the origin of the fleet.

Downton smiled and didn't answer.

"But if it were you, I would do the same, it's so majestic!"

Chadley is a young man after all, and he also likes to enjoy the thrill of the transit of warships and the submission of the Quartet.

Jackson, who was standing in the back, pouted, the master was not so superficial, he was deliberately flexing his muscles, so that those countries would be frightened, and then unite to attack him.

Now Frankfurt is in great need of war, and Downton wants to stand on the moral high ground, so he can only make a subtle provocation and let the other side take the lead in starting a war.

"We must annex as many countries as possible and expand our territory before Heinrich regains the position of NATO speaker!"

Downton looked down at the vast expanse of land, clenched the railing, his eyes fiery, he was going to plant his battle flag all over the north.

When the citizens of Wangcheng saw a warship appear in the sky, they were a little panicked, but they did not flee home, because their own airships also rose into the air, especially the Ancient Spear, like a whale shark breaking through the waves, and met each other without showing weakness.

"Inform the citizens of the city, don't panic, it's the Duke of Downton's fleet back!"

The loudspeakers on the battleship broadcast the radio to reassure the citizens.

The citizens were stunned for a moment, then waved their arms at the fleet in the sky, and a huge cheer erupted.

"Lord Downton is so powerful, he has brought back another fleet!"

"I heard that he got the position of NATO leader, and in addition to Sissi, there are two imperial princesses who like him!"

"Is our country going to be second-rate?"

The citizens were talking, and their faces were full of excitement.

Under Downton's guidance, Abagun has been controlling public opinion and trying to shape a cult of personality, of course, Downton's record is also very brilliant, and the war dividend, social stability, and salary increases have greatly improved the lives of the people.

In fact, no matter who is in power, whether they are good people or not, as long as they can have a few more gold coins in their pockets and buy a few more meals of meat for their families, they will support them, so Downton's prestige has skyrocketed!

If the war breaks out again, there is no need for Downton to issue a national mobilization order, and those men will spontaneously take up their weapons and go to the battlefield. (To be continued......)
