Section 447 Shock
readx;
It is obviously a great sin to openly disturb the ceremony of entering the seal presided over by the emperor himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even Catherine, the eldest princess, is said to be severely punished.
However, this time the situation is a bit special, because Catherine, in addition to being the eldest princess of the griffin kingdom, is also a hero who saves the whole continent. The monarchs of the other countries were very grateful to her. Although they gave a bunch of gifts, it was not enough to express their gratitude to Catherine, so they promised to help Catherine in times of need.
In this case, the emperor is regenerating gas, and it is not easy to dispose of it directly. What's more, he is still the party that is at fault this time, and if Catherine is forcibly punished, it will definitely attract the interference of the countries on the mainland. Although the Griffin Kingdom is also one of the powerhouses of the continent, it still does not dare to offend the four major kingdoms of the Light Empire, the Elven Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom at the same time.
Therefore, for the disposition of Catherine, it was difficult for the emperor to die. Severe punishment is afraid of attracting interference from other countries, and if you do not severely punish yourself, it will be difficult to get back your face. It doesn't work left or right, but this matter can't be delayed, and I remember that the emperor is like an ant on a hot pot, and he doesn't know what to do.
And at this time, an envoy of the orc kingdom hurriedly came to the griffon kingdom and asked to meet the emperor, he brought an extremely shocking news, and suddenly made the emperor six gods and no master, and he didn't know what to do.
In fact, the news brought by the envoy was not long, only one sentence, that is, the recent sudden eruption of volcanoes on the bottom of the North Sea has lifted many adjacent volcanic islands. Eventually, these archipelagos joined together to form a large island with a radius of hundreds of miles, connecting the mainland with one of the large islands in the Devil Islands.
You know, the Devil Islands are actually like a belt that spreads from north to south in general. The northernmost of them is about to enter the polar circle, and the southernmost is the southernmost point of the coastline of the Bright Empire, with a length of nearly 20,000 miles. The closest distance from the mainland is in the north, only one or two hundred kilometers, and the farthest point from the mainland is still in the south, which is more than 2,000 kilometers.
The eruption occurred so suddenly on the northern coast that it connected Alcatraz to the mainland.
Obviously, this is simply a disaster for the mainland. Because those demon clan troops came from the other plane, no one knows how many. Moreover, they all know fire spells, each of them is fierce and good at fighting, and the terrifying prestige of the Burning Legion is built on victory after victory.
Take the Griffin Kingdom, for example, the kingdom has been attacked by the Burning Legion several times, and there have even been times when it has fallen. The father of the current emperor, and the father of the old mage, both died heroically in the last burning scourge.
In addition to the griffin kingdom, the orcs also suffered so much that they had to send the Naga, the most powerful race in the orc kingdom, to the eastern coast, plus many other powerful orcs, to barely be able to deal with the surprise attack of the Burning Legion. But if you want to defeat the other party, you have to use the power of the whole continent. And in the last burning natural disaster, the patriarch and his wife of the Yu clan, one of the five major orc clans, were killed. This also shows the horror of this Burning Legion.
In the past, the Burning Legion that crossed the sea on a pirate ship was enough to bring disaster to the mainland. And now that the Devil Islands are connected to the mainland, wouldn't the Burning Legion's troops be able to drive straight in? In that case, the size of the other party would definitely be several times larger. Moreover, they can completely rely on the Demon Islands at this time, and with a supply base, unlike when they crossed the sea in the past, they had no foundation to speak of, and they could be easily defeated if they consumed too much.
If you count it this way, the next sortie of the Burning Legion will definitely be more ferocious and difficult than any other in history. It is no wonder that after hearing the news, the emperor's eyes were blank and he almost froze on the spot.
Fortunately, the ministers were quite sober, especially the wise Grand Duke Hercules, who was the first to react and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the matter has already happened, and it is useless to be anxious, it is better to gather the ministers immediately and discuss countermeasures quickly!"
"Yes, yes!" the emperor came to his senses and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, quickly call me all the high-ranking members of the empire!
"Yes!" the guards outside hurriedly agreed, and went out one after another to give orders.
And Hercules suddenly said at this time: "Your Majesty, I think there are two special people who need to be found!"
"Who?" the Emperor asked hurriedly.
"One is the eldest princess Catherine, and the other is the little Earl Stephen!" Hercules said unhurriedly.
"What?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned, obviously he was still worried about the events of the previous few days, so he said directly: "No need, this time it's a big deal, two little hairy children, it doesn't matter if they come or not!"
"No, no!" Hercules immediately said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess now has a very high prestige on the mainland, and to put it mildly, if she goes out and asks for help from other countries, I am afraid it will be more effective than you." If we don't summon her for such a big matter, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate, because maybe we'll have to ask the dwarves and elves for help!"
"This?" When the emperor heard this, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, Catherine can come, but little Stephen will forget it." didn't even give me any face in front of everyone, if it weren't for the face of you and the teacher, I would have cut off his head a long time ago!"
"This~" Hercules then smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid he also belongs to the people who have to be invited, and even his important surname is still above the eldest princess!"
"Enh?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately said disapprerovingly: "Hercules, do you think too highly of your son-in-law?
"Your Majesty, I am dedicated to the public and have no intention of dying!" Hercules smiled bitterly, "That little Stephen is indeed incomprehensible, because this man is extremely resourceful, and can often come up with other tricks and create miracles at the least cost." For example, the killing of the Lich King this time, although Akari is credited with the eldest princess, but in fact, he is all making plans and even implementing them, which you also know. ”
"This~" After hearing this, the emperor immediately hesitated.
Seeing this, Hercules hurriedly continued to persuade him: "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, and it has a bearing on the safety of the whole continent? Although little Stephen may not be able to solve this matter, it is worth calling him even if there is a little more hope! I hope that Your Majesty can put state affairs first!"
"Hmph!" the emperor snorted dissatisfiedly, and then said with a cold face: "Since you highly recommend it, then I can't give you face, go and call that bastard boy too!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Hercules hurriedly thanked.

A few hours later, all the ministers in the city arrived, and even Catherine, who was training the new army outside the city, was not late. Only the old evil and the old mage, because they live in the magic tower, came relatively late.
The real high-level of the Griffin Kingdom was about twenty or thirty, and after all of them arrived, they only filled half of the council hall.
Because of Catherine's noble status, she sat at the head of the emperor, and the old evil had the least seniority, so she could only sit in the back, and the two were far apart. The old evil is extremely dissatisfied with this, but there is nothing to be done. So, after the old evil who was angry in his heart sat down, he immediately closed his eyes and recuperated, made up his mind to sleep, and did not give birth to the bad things here. In fact, if it weren't for the old mage's deadlifting, he wouldn't have been willing to come.
After the people arrived, the envoy of the beast clan told the story again, and naturally, such a bombshell-like news caused a sensation, even if it was an old evil, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
At the same time, he thought to himself, 'This doesn't seem good?' I have a feud with the demons, and if they gain power, they will have to take revenge on me.' Although Zan may not be afraid of them, but the teacher is worried about this group of bastards, and he feels uncomfortable? No, I have to try to suppress these bastards, I can't make them too arrogant. ’
Thinking of this, although the old evil still looked indifferent on the surface, he secretly paid attention to it in his heart.
After the envoy conveyed the news, the emperor said with a cold face: "Everyone, this is the news. Although the newly formed volcanic islands are still hot, according to the Orc Kingdom's estimates, it will take at most half a year for the island's volcano to quiet down and the temperature to drop. However, when the temperature is still high, the Burning Legion can be used as much as they want. But for us, the temperature was so bad that ordinary soldiers couldn't get in. In other words, in half a year, the Burning Legion will be able to attack us from the island, and we will only be able to defend passively, without the power to fight back! This is obviously extremely disadvantageous to us, so I invite you to discuss countermeasures. If you have any way, just say it!"
After the emperor's words were finished, the hall fell silent at first, and everyone was thinking about countermeasures, but no one spoke. The emperor also knew that this matter was urgent, after all, this matter was too big, and no one could come up with a countermeasure in a while. So he waited patiently.
After more than half an hour, Hercules broke the silence and said, "Your Majesty, that island is naturally formed, and we obviously can't do anything about it. Therefore, the only way to do this is to guard against it. Fortunately, it will take half a year for the other party to call. With this buffer, we can be well prepared. Fortunately, the island is not very wide, at most more than 100 li, such a small terrain is extremely advantageous for us. As long as a solid offensive is established on the periphery, and then the elite forces of the entire continent are gathered, it will not be too difficult to stop them!"
