Chapter 45: Entering the Palace

Ike's first instinct was...... Bustling.

This level of prosperity is definitely comparable to that of the Chambord Islands.

Even judging from the difficulty of reaching, if the two are under the same conditions, this place will definitely be the more prosperous one.

But the second feeling is depression.

It's incredibly depressing.

No one is laughing, although they are going on with their normal lives, but they are depressing and terrible.

With the exception of the opportunistic merchants and the pirates that Ike can see through with a cat's eye, the civilians seem to have become numb to their current lives.

The people who can be seen smiling on the streets are almost all wealthy people who come here on the diving equipment of the World Government.

"Major General, it's a little strange here......"

Seun leaned over to Ike's side and muttered.

Ike naturally understood what he meant, and if it didn't feel strange, it would be a ghost.

Moreover, the undisguised naval uniforms of his group not only did not make civilians feel safe, but their eyes were filled with hatred like looking at pirates.

Although he knew that this was caused by special circumstances, the Secret Special Forces, a naval force that was determined to protect civilians, were naturally uncomfortable at this moment when they were treated like this by the object they had sworn to protect.

"Don't be confused, it's because of this situation that you really need to change their minds, so that the Navy can once again become the guardian of this Fish-Man Island, and the guardian of all civilians." Ike didn't look back, and kept walking forward, "But you have to be mentally prepared for not only the hostility of civilians, but also the pressure to kill your colleagues. After all, these moths in the navy are even more harmful than pirates. ”

The men who were with him all nodded, and then followed Ike with solemn expressions, walking straight towards the central palace.

At the same time, several figures flashed at the entrance of the street, and then disappeared.

Ike glanced in that direction slightly, and then ignored it.

It seems that the forces of Fish-Man Island are not completely passive.

It's just that whether you really have the brain to do the right thing is a matter of opinion.

……

"Tiger Boss! My little brothers have just returned from the shopping street of Fish-Man Island, and they say that they have discovered a new batch of naval landings, and it is said that before landing, they destroyed all twenty pirate ships moored on the docks! ”

In the middle of the slightly dilapidated Fish-Man Street, a young dragon reports to a tall mermaid covered in red.

Fisher Tiger, a fish-man explorer, is the future leader of the Sun Pirates, but at this time, he is embarrassed and fierce.

Because he had just escaped from the hands of the world's aristocracy, several years of slavery had made him develop a monstrous hatred for mankind, especially the human aristocracy.

"Where did they go?"

"The palace, they are going in the direction of the palace!"

“…… I'm going out for a trip. ”

Although Fisher Tiger is the leader of Fishman Street, he is deeply respected by Neptune, the god of the sea, and Princess Otohime, and has a very good relationship, so it can be said that the conflict between Fishman Street and other places has been alleviated and eliminated by this relationship.

It can be said that it is the creator of internal peace and unity.

Not only do the people think he is the big man on Fish-Man Island, but even the royal palace will definitely consult with Fisher Tiger when making decisions.

This batch of navy actually went directly to the palace?

You must know that Fisher Tiger had just escaped and had not yet told Neptune and Otohime about his years of slavery, in case the navy had come to hunt him down and the palace had been implicated because he didn't know about it......

The final order of Fish-Man Island may collapse with a bang.

This seemingly dreamy and beautiful place is actually on the verge of collapse.

Someone, or creature, has to come and save this place.

"Everyone's fine, please save Fish-Man Island."

Fisher Tiger whispered to himself as he swam out.

"Stop! Navy, this is Ryugu Castle! It's the royal palace of the Dragon Palace! Please explain your intentions! ”

Several merfolk soldiers surrounded them, and although their tone was normal, their eyes were equally full of distrust and vigilance.

"Ben Meow is a rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Ike, and this time he is here to solve the problem, so he asked to see Neptune, the god of the sea, and Princess Otohime."

"Cat, cat talked!" The merfolk soldier's eyes were about to pop out, but he immediately responded under Ike's calm eyes, "Okay, please wait, and I'll take you into the city after the briefing." ”

Seeing the mermaid soldiers who left in a hurry, Ike could still see a slight gap.

The chaos on Mermaid Island has not yet completely spread to Dragon Palace City, which shows that the timing of Ike's arrival is too coincidental.

Although it was crumbling, it arrived before it completely collapsed.

As the king of the allied countries, Neptune, the god of the sea, theoretically has a higher status than anyone in the navy, but from the eyes of the guards just now, I am afraid that the attitude of the navy who visited before will not be much better.

The peaceful coexistence that Princess Otohime has always advocated is definitely in the right direction, but the method is terriblely wrong.

"People are good and are deceived by others" and "the country is weak and has no diplomacy" These wise sayings have been spread countless times, which is naturally reasonable.

When you don't have enough power in your hands, you negotiate terms with a powerful power full of malice, which is simply asking for your own death.

The guards who had just entered Ryugu Castle soon came out and made a gesture of "please" to Ike: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, please come in, King Neptune and Princess Otohime welcome everyone." ”

Ike nodded, and strode into the gates of Dragon Palace City.

Everyone behind him also saluted slightly, and then followed closely.

“…… Were they just returning the favor? ”

"It should be...... Right? ”

"It's completely different from the navy that came to ...... previous times."

“…… Did the cat general just say that they were here to solve the problem? ”

The two guards looked at each other with a look of disbelief in their eyes.

……

The outside of Ryugu Castle also has a double-layer bubble film shield, but the difference is that the middle layer is seawater, which is similar to a full-coverage moat.

I have to say that when you pass through the entrance, you can look up and be greeted by the sunlight and the slowly swimming fish, beautiful coral tanks, and various sea creatures make for a dreamy scene.

The imps should like it, right? After completely solving the problem here, you have to bring three little loli of Amazon lilies for a walk.

After entering through the entrance, the whole picture is completely presented to everyone.

Because the prototype is the "Dragon Palace" in Japanese fairy tales, it has a Japanese style.

At first glance, there is a stylistic resemblance to the Yellow Ape's office.

The gate opened heavily and slowly with the help of the guards, and the gate alone was fifty meters away.

After entering the palace, he saw the two people on the throne.

King Neptune and Princess Otohime.
