The convoy sped forward at a rapid pace, and in a short time passed the military pontoon bridge over the Golden Horn and entered the Byzantine city from the Faena Gate. They then proceeded along the Strip of Constantine, and soon reached the Blancheen Palace.

The Byzantine city has two magnificent palaces in the northwest and southeast, of which the old palace is located in the southeast corner and is called the 'Holy Palace', which has a history of hundreds of years. The Old Royal Palace faced the sea, making it convenient to command naval battles against enemy attacks from the sea. The Blancheon Palace in the northwest corner was built 80 years ago to defend the Eastern Romans from the mainland, but now it has become the command center of the Latin Kingdom against the Nicaean army.

By the time Ellens and the others arrived at Blancheon Palace, it was already late at night. The huge and majestic palace sits quietly on a hill, and the cold spring moonlight shines on the brilliant palace glaze, reflecting a dreamlike colorful light, as if telling the majesty it once had and the loneliness it has now.

The gate of the palace had already been blocked by huge stones, and everyone entered through the narrow military corridor that was heavily guarded next to it, and after several sentry posts, they finally came to a small and richly decorated living room in front of the main hall.

Guges bowed to the three of them and said, "Your Highnesses, please wait here for a while, and I will go in and inform Bixia immediately." ”

In fact, the commander of the fortress had already sent someone to report the news to King Balwin II in advance, and the so-called announcement was just a tactful statement to verify the token. Of course, Cleo didn't care about this, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Your Excellency, please do it." ”

Gugus immediately turned and walked into the main hall.

Idly, the three of them began to observe the small living room in which they were, where seven huge oil paintings hung on the walls on all four sides. The oil painting is vigorous and powerful, the colors are bold and rich, and the characters on the painting are different and lifelike, which is the full-length portrait of the seven kings of the Latin kingdom during the fifty years. At the bottom of the throne is the current King Balwin II, who had just ascended the throne the year before last, and it can be seen from the portrait that this man is about forty years old, with serious eyes and a deep frown, and seems to be constantly worried about the difficult situation of his country......

Seeing this, Oni spoke, "Do you think the king is willing to leave with us?"

"It's hard to say. Elrens shook his head and said, "As far as I know, most kings would rather live and die with their own country than watch their country perish and endure humiliation!"

"Won't we be able to complete the task in vain?" said Lori with a bitter face.

Cleo also sighed: "You can only do your best." ”

While the three of them were talking, the commander of the fortress walked out of the main hall with a happy face, and respectfully raised the necklace with both hands and handed it to the eldest princess: "Three highnesses, please come with me, Bixia welcomes several great guests in the main hall!"

Clio cheered up, laughed and put the necklace around his neck, and the three of them followed Gugus into the main hall

Balwyn II was the son of the previous king, Balwyn I, who had ascended to the throne since the old king had been killed in battle at the Battle of Thrace.

When Balwin II became king, he also carried out a series of ambitious reforms to bring the country and its army out of decline. However, the successive defeats on the battlefield, the betrayal of his allies and even the Holy See hit him hard, and his original enthusiasm could not help but be decadent. It wasn't until the capital was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of enemy legions that Byzantium became an isolated city, that he finally realized that in the current situation, no matter how hard he tried, he could only survive for a while, and he was powerless to change the fate of the country.

These days, Balwin II was simply anxious, watching the outlying strongholds being breached one by one by the Nicaean army, and although he himself went to the battlefield to fight bloodily, he was still powerless. Although the weather is cold and slippery at the moment, it is not suitable for a large-scale siege, but the remnants of the Latin Kingdom will find it very difficult to cope with the enemy's small-scale offensive, and once the weather improves, the destruction of the city will definitely be inevitable!

However, just when Balwyn II was in despair, the good news came: a water puppet broke through the interception of the Nicaean fleet and landed next to the Galata fortress outside the Golden Horn, and the guests inside the puppet turned out to be Cleo, the famous princess of the Olipian League and commander of the Central Floating Fleet, and the princess of Athens and the alchemist master of the Alchemist of Delos......

The arrival of the two princesses, Cleo and Oni, did not surprise Balwyn II, after all, the Olympia Alliance is currently difficult to protect itself, and there is no spare strength to assist the Latin Kingdom, but this Black Dragon Prince from the Black Sea Dragon Island is different! The Latin Kingdom is located on the southwest coast of the Black Sea, and although it is far away from the Dragon Island in the east, it is connected by sea lanes.

Many years ago, Balwin II had also heard of the great name of the Black Dragon King Dis Calamity, although the Dragon Island had died down for nearly a century, but now the son of the Black Dragon King has come in person, this is simply great news! There are countless strong people on the Dragon Island, as long as the Black Dragon King is willing to send troops to help, it is not impossible to defeat the Nicaans!

Thinking of this, Balwin II immediately agreed to meet with the visitor.

When Ellens and the others entered the golden hall, the royal officials of the Latin Kingdom had already gathered here. Seeing the appearance of several princesses and princes, everyone immediately stood up, and Balwin II stepped forward and gave a kiss to the leader Cleo.

"I have long heard of Her Royal Highness Princess Perra, who is in a peerless state! I am fortunate to see her today, and it is indeed worthy of her name!" said the Latin King with a smile.

Cleo also smiled and replied: "It's over! It is said that Bixia was the deputy head of the Templar Order when she was young, and when she sees it today, she still has the same demeanor as she did back then!"

Saying that, the eldest princess turned her head again, looked at a young woman in uniform beside Balwin II and said: "What's more, Bixia's daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Onomia is not only beautiful, but also has superb swordsmanship, and has advanced to the ninth-level knight at a young age, inheriting the position of deputy head of the Bixia Knights, which is really admirable!"
