The Iron Battleship had been at sea for months, but it had never seen any land, not even a single island or reef, and if it weren't for the sight of all sorts of fish on the sea, people would have thought that they had never sailed out of the sea of chaos.

For this long journey with no end in sight, most people gradually become a little impatient, can't bear the never-ending voyage, but suffer from the endless sea, even if they want to end the painful voyage, they can only endure silently, or try to find something to pass the boring time.

However, although the voyage is very boring, there is also good news, that is, after leaving the sea of chaos, the power granted by the laws of civilization has begun to return.

What puzzled everyone was that they had obviously left the Western Continent and should have entered the eastern seas, but the laws derived from the civilization of the Western Continent were still not rejected in any way.

This doubt, in the end, was given by Ming Tang: "For the plane rules, any civilization law is his enemy, because the law of civilization will continue to encroach on its control power, so the plane rules will be happy to see all kinds of civilization laws intertwined and even fight, so that the power of various civilization laws can be weakened, so with the intentional connivance of plane rules, except for the sea of chaos, all kinds of civilization laws are intertwined with each other." ”

Mingtang's answer made everyone stunned, and at the same time, it also solved the reason why Du Liniang was still able to use the power of the laws of Eastern civilization after going through a lot of hardships and arriving in the West.

Restoring the power given by the laws of civilization has also made the endless voyage no longer boring, at least everyone can continue to improve their own strength.

Among them, Norco, Christine, Kirille and Pwis stay in their respective cabins almost every day, studying their respective magic, Caroline will also find a shadow from time to time to learn martial arts skills with Oliver, and even Du Liniang will occasionally guide Caroline.

With the help of many masters. Caroline and Shadow's strength improved the fastest, especially when Du Liniang used oriental martial arts to guide the two, which made them have a qualitative leap in martial arts and fighting skills.

The most leisurely of all is Lucius, who began to learn the languages of various countries in the East, including the languages of the Oriental Middle Earth that Du Liniang knows, as well as the languages of many island countries in the East that Mingtang knows.

In addition to learning various languages, the most common thing Lucius did was to take Mingtang on a small boat and leisurely fish in the back of the warship.

Shaking the crystal wine glass in his hand, he stared at the fishing rod on the bow of the boat. Lucius was very leisurely enjoying the afternoon breeze and warm sun on the sea, and took a sip of wine and asked Mingtang, who was standing behind him: "You say, how long do we need to sail before we can contact the people of the East?"

Mingtang's body bowed slightly, standing there motionless, as if he was completely integrated with the boat, and his body shook almost the same frequency as the boat, which would not affect Lucius on the boat at all.

Reaching out to pour Lucius a drink, he whispered to Lucius: "Your Highness." Based on my travels, I believe that in the next few days we will enter the kingdom of mankind, which is a kingdom built on islands. ”

"See the country on the islands? Well, isn't that a bit like England in the West? That country is in the East. How's the strength?"

Ming Tang said without hesitation when he heard this: "When my subordinates first arrived at that country, the strength of that human country could not be compared with those powerful countries in Middle-earth, and it could only be regarded as a vassal country of the powerful countries in Middle-earth. Every year, you have to pay tribute to the power of Middle-earth. ”

"Nagong, they need to pay tribute to the countries of Middle-earth?"

"Yes, because the islands have limited resources, and their own civilization is relatively backward. Therefore, they rely on the tribute to obtain the protection of the great powers of Middle-earth, and at the same time, they will also send young people from the country to study in the kingdom of Middle-earth. ”

Hearing this, Lucius muttered, "Well, it's a good country, it knows how to avoid trouble, and at the same time it can learn modestly, which is very good." ”

Speaking of this, Lucius suddenly thought of something, and asked Mingtang again: "By the way, is the monarch of their country also a king?"

Ming Tang shook his head and said, "No, their monarch is not called a king, but is called a 'emperor'. ”

"Oh, the emperor, it seems that their monarch seems to have a very high status, and seems to be the embodiment of theocracy, so the emperor is not only the monarch of their country, but also the god in the hearts of the people?"

In response to Lucius's question, Mingtang nodded and said, "Yes, in the hearts of the ordinary people of that island country, their monarch is also their god. ”

seemed to know what Lucius wanted to ask next, and without waiting for Lucius to ask, Mingtang immediately said: "It's just that their emperor actually doesn't have the power of a god. ”

Lucius smiled and said, "That's nature, if their civilization can nourish the gods, why should they pay tribute to Middle-earth and learn from Middle-earth's civilization?"

"By the way, what's the name of that island country?"

"Fuso. ”

"What a strange name, oh, the fish is hooked, hahaha, there's grilled fish to eat. ”

Fuso, a country built on an island, is almost the easternmost country in the East, the edge of the entire East.

While Lucius and his warships were advancing towards Fuso, a tragic war was going on on the territory of Fuso.

"Your Majesty, please evacuate quickly, the front is already unstoppable, the army of the shogunate is about to be killed, you can escape before the army arrives if you evacuate now, otherwise once the army of the shogunate forms a siege, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape." ”

A young king looked at the general who was kneeling on one knee in front of him with a bloodstained face, and a trace of pain gradually appeared on his face, and he frowned and said to himself: "Escape, where else can I escape?"

At this time, the people who served the monarch saw that the young king seemed to have lost his fighting spirit, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, you, don't lose your fighting spirit, isn't there a saying in Middle Earth, 'If you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood'? As long as you can live, I believe that you will be able to regroup and reign over the entire Fuso Islands again." ”

The young king looked at the attendants beside him and asked blankly, "Is it really possible?"

As he spoke, without waiting for the attendant to respond, the young king smiled bitterly and said, "No, it's going to be over, and I don't have a chance to make a comeback, and the Tokugawa family won't let me go." ”

......When everyone present heard this, they all knelt down and wanted to continue persuading the young king.

But the young king stopped everyone and sighed, "I'm really sorry that I hurt everyone, and if I hadn't insisted on getting rid of being treated as a puppet, you wouldn't have followed me down this road of desperation." ”

"We are willing to follow His Majesty the Emperor to the death. ”

Hearing the oath of his generals and courtiers, the young king still smiled bitterly: "Hehe, don't say such stupid things, you still have to live and live well." ”

With that, the young king turned around and grabbed the long knife on the knife stand behind him, raised the long knife in his hand and exuded a heroic aura and said to the people: "Come, bring my horses, I will go out in person, and make a break with those traitors and rebels." ”

"Majesty is not possible, Majesty is not possible, ......"

Seeing that everyone present stepped forward to persuade and stop him, the young king did not say with any unusually firmness: "Needless to say, I am also a samurai, and as a samurai, I will die on the battlefield, how can I escape from the battle?"

The courtiers knew that they could not change the young king's mind, so they said no more, and one by one they stood up and firmly followed the young king, stepped out of the camp and rode on their horses, and marched forward to meet the rebels surrounded by the army.

Then the young king himself led a large army to the front line, and a large number of rebels rushed out from all directions, and almost in the blink of an eye, the young king and his army were surrounded.

The opposing army was divided into the middle, and a majestic middle-aged man in armor rode a horse that was also dressed in armor.

When he came to the front of the battle, he stared at the young king, and said with a majestic expression: "Emperor today, have you thought about it? Do you want to go back with me? As long as you go back obediently, you will still be the emperor." ”

In front of the majestic middle-aged man, the young king was more like a child, and even under the oppression of the other party's powerful aura, the young king was a little out of breath, and after only looking at the other party for a moment, he felt that his back was already wet with sweat.

However, even though he felt the strength of the other party, the young king still did not want to bow his head, and said with an unusually stern expression: "No, I will not go back, I would rather die here in battle than go back to be your puppet." ”

As soon as the young king's words fell, a man in a fat robe beside him slapped his horse very awkwardly and said to the majestic middle-aged man: "Tokugawa, killing the emperor is a great crime, you will be punished by Amaterasu, and your soul will fall into the abyss forever after you die." ”

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for the majestic middle-aged man to respond, the man in the fat robe sat down and the horse suddenly raised his body and neighed, lifting him directly off the horse.

Seeing that the other party couldn't even ride a horse, the majestic middle-aged man known as Tokugawa said disdainfully: "Inbo, what qualifications do you have to reprimand me? Hmph, if it weren't for your instigation, how could His Majesty the Emperor be so restless? Now that His Majesty the Emperor himself has turned his back on his people, I am just petitioning for the people, how can Amaterasu punish me?"

"Tokugawa Iehiko, you actually said such a rebellious thing, I, I, I, Yuan Yingbo, will fight with you today. ”

Hidehiro Gen angrily pulled out his katana, and with the sword in both hands, he slammed into Tokugawa Iehiko on horseback, and it seemed that he was ready to die with the other party.

Seeing Gen Eihiro rushing forward with a knife, the soldiers around Tokugawa Iehiko were about to step forward to stop him, but Tokugawa Isahiko stopped those soldiers and just looked at Gen Eihiro who pounced on him with contempt.

Seeing that Gen Eihiro pounced in front of his horse, Tokugawa Iehiko suddenly grabbed the broad gold-backed broadsword hanging on the horse's back, and suddenly raised the golden-backed broadsword upward, and the blade instantly split Gen Eihiro who was rushing towards him into two pieces, and blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the land in front of the young king red.
