Christine now teaches at Violet College, and she continues to further her education. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWe've always had a good personal relationship, but it's not a relationship yet, in fact I'm already engaged to Nata. Sivi explained.

At this moment, Natalia also walked into the conference room, and when she saw that Caterina was in the eye, she walked forward quickly, and the two embraced each other passionately, and it took a long time before parting. You must know that they have reached a good friendship in the battle in the deep sea plane, and they cherish each other.

"I didn't expect you to make it to the end!" Caterina sighed as she took a sip of her coffee.

You must know that for aristocratic men and women, parents rarely intervene in the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, but when it comes to marriage, it is difficult for individuals to make decisions. Once you are truly engaged, it almost means that the marriage is concluded. The parties to a marriage can be unfaithful to each other and have lovers, but few people choose to divorce, because marriage is no longer a private matter between two people, but a bond between two families.

"Katarina, the famous red-haired queen, haven't you found a crush, you must know that there is no shortage of outstanding noble young people in the upper echelons of the Holy Norman Empire!" Natalia asked enthusiastically, taking Caterina's hand.

"There are a few flies that don't have long eyes that want to approach me, and then I've all chased them away!" Caterina gave a chilling smile, "Especially after I cut off one of the eggs of a disgusting fellow, he now has a resounding title in the nobility circles of the Holy Norman Empire, and that is 'One Egg'!"

Natalia whistled, "Tsk, that's cool!"

Seeing that the two women were talking happily, there seemed to be a faint tendency to put themselves aside, and she couldn't help but be suddenly shocked, couldn't this Caterina also be a lace edge, right?

When she was young, she probably developed an extreme dislike for men due to Gugli's despicable behavior, otherwise most women would never take such an extreme deed as cutting off their suitors' balls and be proud of it.

"Let's get down to business, Caterina is here to deal with the Queen of the Deep Kokanoa and the ever-increasing number of Kotao Fishmen?" Sivi coughed lightly, turning the conversation back to business.

Caterina sat up straight and said, "Yes, I am now appointed by His Majesty as the commander of the Golden Sea Fleet, responsible for managing and commanding the fleet, including the two magic ironclads of the Santa Estaba and the St. Morgan, to protect the Empire's shipping, and to wait for the opportunity to fight the Dark Council. I've been in office for half a month, and I've just been completely recognized by my new subordinates, and Palermo is the first city I visited! I thought it was a job similar to garrisoning, and it was difficult to encounter war, but I didn't expect the Queen of the Deep Sea and the Kou Tao Fishman to appear like this, it was really a godsend!"

"The Emperor doesn't seem to interrupt compromise?" Sivi took a sip of green tea, "During this time, many of the great names along the Golden Sea coast have issued statements allowing the people to believe in this Queen of the Deep Sea. ”

"Of course, His Majesty the Emperor will never compromise!The Holy Norman Empire will fight the Dark Council to the end until they are completely wiped out!" Caterina was full of will to fight: "And I have received a military order from St. George's Palace, waiting for the opportunity to fight against the Kou Tao Fishmen and ensure the safety of the Empire's maritime trade routes!"

There are two parts of the Holy Norman Empire itself, one is the Austrian region dominated by the former Kingdom of Austria, and the other is the Spania region dominated by the former Kingdom of Spanya, the land transportation of the two regions is cut off by the Kingdom of France, and the most direct and convenient communication channel is undoubtedly the maritime trade route of the Golden Sea, from the southernmost port of the Austrian region to the port cities of Barcelona, Valencia, Gibro and other ports in the Spanya region, countless imperial fleets and merchants pass and trade here.

"The people under my rule have freedom of belief, but the gods or demigods they believe in will never include the Queen of the Deep, a dark demigod who expands their faith with fear and threat, whether it is Violet or Sicily, and will never give in to Kokanoa and her army of fishmen!" Sivi also proclaimed his idea, faith is a big trouble that must not be easily tainted, especially a demigod like Kokanoa, the queen of the deep. Once Sicily compromises now, it is likely that the Lord of the Deep will turn against him and expel Sivi from Sicily in the future once his faith has been strengthened.

Not only Sicily, but also the other powers along the Golden Sea had this concern, but they could not resist and had to bow their heads.

"Very well, sure enough, it is the mage I know who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and in this way, we are once again on the same front, hoping to join hands and fight against the fish-man army of the queen of the deep sea!" Caterina happily stood up and stretched out her right hand.

Sivi didn't shirk either, and shook Caterina's hand happily and reached a temporary alliance.

Fighting the Fish-Man is not directly confronting the "Queen of the Deep" Kokanoya, the Lord of the Deep Sea of Madness cannot come to the world of Orent until he has gained enough faith and established a strong enough power on the continent of Orrent, which is also the biggest trouble and shackles for most of the strongest people born and raised in other multiple planes.

Without the trouble of facing the demigods, these Kou Tao Fish-Man Expeditionary Force is a stroke of honor for Rear Admiral Katarina, the commander of the Imperial Golden Sea Fleet, and a future battle achievement.

However, Caterina is only a warrior who has just entered the legendary rank, according to intelligence, the number of Kou Tao fishmen in the Golden Sea is increasing dramatically every day, and legendary powerhouses are not uncommon, so Caterina has to choose to find allies.

And Violet is the most suitable ally.

Caterina is not alone, in fact, after becoming the heir of the Estemba family and being promoted to rear admiral of the Imperial Navy, most of the family's intelligence resources have been used by her, and she has heard about Sivi and the Arcane and even the Arcanist headquarters, so she naturally knows how powerful and potential the Arcanist he represents is a powerful and potential spellcaster force.

However, there is a very high percentage of spellcasters and clerics among the Kou Tao Fishmen, and they must be dealt with carefully, so Caterina is the first to find the door.

"To travel from the Wild Deep-Sea Plane to the Continent of Orrente, we must rely on large dimensional portals, especially the teleportation channels that can teleport legendary rank powerhouses are very rare, and our best way is to find this dimensional teleportation channel and destroy it completely!" After reaching an alliance, Caterina began to discuss with Sivi how to deal with the fish-man crisis.

Clearly, Caterina's plan was like a sharp knife, full of aggression, and she was not the kind of fleet commander who only wanted to escort the convoy and ensure the safety of the trade routes, but to defeat the enemy with a single blow, like an assassin.

"In the battle outside Milan some time ago, Nicholas, the Lord of Secret Blood, opened a large portal connecting the Endless Abyss Plane, and the three demon lords descended on the world of Orrente. The infusion of the divine power of the Lord of the Sun, Infiniti, coupled with a sudden attack, was able to destroy the portal and turn the tide of the battle. Xiwei said in a deep voice: "The Wild Waves Deep Sea Plane is one of the few giant planes in the multiple planes, and the difficulty of building the teleportation to the plane of the Orent Continent will never be much lower than that of the Endless Abyss, and its importance is far beyond it, with the lessons of the last war, I think the Queen of the Deep Sea will definitely deepen the protection of the portal, not to mention that we can't detect and discover the portal yet, even if we do, we can't play a demigod-level attack, and a lower level of attack may not be able to destroy the portal." And even if we succeed in destroying the portal, it means that we have completely cut off the passage of the Queen of the Deep to the continent of Orrent, and her anger will inevitably be attracted to you and me, which is not a thing to be thankful for. ”

Xiwei's analysis is very rational, this is also a helpless choice, small forces are mixed between big countries, it is difficult to find the right and left, not to mention that there is a strong person in the world today, and it is easy to provoke.

"What are we going to fight according to what you say, just bend your knees and surrender!" Caterina said angrily, but deep down she had to admit that what Sivi said was very right, if she played the true fire of Kokanoya, the queen of the deep sea, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to protect her.

"It is natural to fight, and if you don't fight, you will give everything away. But what is our minimum demand nowadays? What is Kokanoa's purpose: to establish her own church organization and expand her faith in the continent of Orrent, and one day become a true god. It's just the early stage of her and Kou Tao's fish-man strategy, and it's not yet time for a real big attack. Many people have already chosen to compromise, so Kokanoya's initial strategy has been basically completed and is steadily advancing, so all we have to do is make a small fight!" Sivi patiently explained, this strategy was also the result of his and Natalia's discussions during this time after gathering and learning a lot of information about the Deep-Sea Plane of Madness and Kokanoya.

"What do you mean?" asked Caterina quickly.

"The Queen of the Deep, Kokanoya, is a brutal and impermanent demigod who uses violence and threats to rule over all the Kotao Fish-Man tribes, and her followers are terrified and feared by her, because if she does not do well, she will be tortured the most. Sivi continued to explain in depth: "I have conducted reconnaissance during this time and found out that there are seven different tribal banners in the entire Golden Sea, and the number is still increasing. These fish-man tribes are not entirely friendly with each other, but rather a bloody rivalry, with rewards for those who complete their tasks better and more smoothly, and those who fail or even fail will be punished by the Queen of the Deep. Therefore, if one tribe chooses to attack one tribe of fishmen, the fishmen of other tribes will most likely choose to watch from the other side of the river rather than join the fight, as long as they are not in danger of total overturning and total defeat. ”

"Are you saying that we are focusing on fighting a small group of Koutao Fishmen, so that the other Fishmen tribes do not join the battle, and at the same time, we will not cause the true wrath of the Queen of the Deep?" Caterina thought for a moment, "I always feel like this is a constraint!"

"Yes, it's like dancing in shackles, doing your best when you're restricted!" Sylvy concluded, "It's not harmful to Kokanoya, the Queen of the Deep Sea, but it's enough to keep the Holy Norman Empire and Violet safe on the sea routes!"

Finally, Sivi whispered to Katarina: "Old friend, this is also a very good opportunity for you and me, the golden sea and sea routes are cut off, countless commodities are backlogged in the port, countless merchants are anxious to jump into the sea, if we can open up and dominate a trade route, it will be a terrifying wealth!"

Sivi himself has already reached the point where he basically ignores wealth, but as the leader of Violet, he must consider the big picture.

Spellcaster is a profession that needs the support of money and wealth, and although Sivi has done his best to cultivate and store a large number of low-cost or even free spell-casting materials and magic plants for Violet, the wealth consumed by more than 5,000 teachers and students in their daily teaching and research is simply astronomical. Although a few of these projects contain great business opportunities and can generate a lot of wealth, they are currently struggling to make ends meet, and there is a serious shortage of resources and money.

Therefore, Sivi had to love money, and this fish-man crisis was a big problem for most people, but he saw new business opportunities.

Caterina's eyes lit up, she was the heir to the Estemba family, how did she not know the importance of wealth, so the two hit it off, and soon began to discuss a specific plan for cooperation and how to distribute the benefits.

Soon, a strategic plan called the "Golden Route" took shape, which would start from the port of Delillaste in the east, stop in Palermo in the middle, and go west to Valencia, where Sivi and Caterina would be fully escorted to ensure the safety of the golden route, hoping to create a huge source of money for them.

This route abandoned the Eastern Golden Sea, which was beyond the reach of the whip, and abandoned other transit ports, because it was not in the sphere of influence of the two. However, the logistics between the two regions of the Holy Norman Empire were ensured, and the Emperor's requirements could be fulfilled at a minimum.

Palermo, as the only transit point for the entire shipping route, will also be the biggest beneficiary, and this original pirate port will leap over many centuries-old golden maritime ports to become a new economic and trade center.

Of course, the most important step in achieving this ideal is to ensure the safety of the trade routes of the golden route, otherwise everything is in vain.

Caterina did not stay long, and soon after agreeing on a policy of cooperation, she left Palermo with the Santamba for the port of Delillaste.

"Sivi, we're about to send a fleet to fight, this time I'm going to go on an expedition! The last battle of Catenia ended too quickly!" Natalia said excitedly to Sivi: "And you see, Charlotte and Caterina have all entered the legendary rank, I'm under a lot of pressure! )
