Chapter 447: Shocking

It is obviously a great sin to openly disrupt the enthronement ceremony presided over by the emperor himself. Even the eldest princess Catherine would definitely be severely punished.

But the situation this time was a bit special, because in addition to being the eldest princess of the Griffin Kingdom, Catherine was also a hero who saved the whole continent. The monarchs of other countries were very grateful to her. Although they gave a bunch of gifts, they were still not enough to express their gratitude to Catherine, so they promised to help when Catherine was in trouble.

In this case, the emperor was angry again and it was difficult to deal with it directly. What's more, he was the party who was in the wrong this time. If he forcibly punished Catherine, it would definitely attract interference from various countries in the mainland. Although the Griffon Kingdom is also one of the powerful countries in the mainland, he still dared not offend the four major countries of the Light Empire, the Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom at the same time.

Therefore, the emperor was so embarrassed that he was afraid of being involved in Catherine's handling. He was afraid of attracting interference from various countries, and it would be difficult to find his face if he didn't punish him severely. It would not work, but this matter could not be delayed. I remember that the emperor was like an ant on a hot pan, and he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a special envoy from the Orc Kingdom hurried to the Griffon Kingdom and asked to meet the emperor. He brought extremely shocking news, which made the emperor feel in vain and didn't know what to do.

In fact, the news brought by the special envoy was not long, only one sentence, that is, the volcano at the bottom of the North Sea suddenly erupted, lifting out many adjacent volcanic islands. In the end, these archipelagos were connected into one piece, forming a large island of hundreds of miles, which actually connected the continent to a large island in the Demon Islands.

You know. In fact, in general, the Demon Islands are like a flat belt from north to south. The northernmost part is almost entering the extreme circle, and the southernmost part is at the southernmost end of the coastline of the Empire of Light, with a length of nearly 20,000 miles. The closest distance from the mainland is the north, only one or two hundred kilometers, and the farthest part from the mainland is still the south, which is more than 2,000 kilometers.

This volcanic eruption happened extremely suddenly on the northern coast, which connected the Demon Island with the mainland.

Obviously, this is a disaster for the mainland. Because the demons' troops came from the alien plane, no one knows how many of them are. Moreover, they all have fire magic, and they are all fierce and good at fighting. The terrifying reputation of the Burning Legion is based on repeated victories.

Take the Griffin Kingdom for example. The country was attacked by the Burning Legion several times and even captured. The father of the current emperor and the father of the old wizard were both bravely killed in the last Burning Natural Scourge.

In addition to the Griffin Kingdom, the orc land losses were also extremely serious, so that the Naga, the most powerful race in the orc kingdom, had to be placed on the eastern coast. In addition, many other powerful orcs could barely deal with the Burning Legion's raid. However, if you want to defeat the other party, you had to use the power of the entire continent. In the last Burning Natural Disaster, the patriarch and his wife of the Earth Feather Clan, one of the five major Orc tribes, were killed. This also shows the terror of this Burning Legion.

In the past, the Burning Legion came across the sea by pirate ships, which was enough to bring disaster to the mainland. Now, the Demon Islands and the Continent are connected. In this way, the Burning Legion troops can go straight in? In that case, the size of the opponent will definitely be several times stronger. Moreover, they can back the Demon Islands at this time and have a supply base, unlike when they crossed the sea. They have no foundation at all. If they consume more, they will be easily defeated.

If this is the case, the Burning Legion's next attack will definitely be more fierce and difficult than any other in history. No wonder the emperor was stunned after hearing this news and almost stunned on the spot.

Fortunately, the ministers were still quite sober, especially the wise Duke Heglith. He was the first to react and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the matter has already happened. It's useless to be anxious. Why not gather the ministers immediately and discuss countermeasures quickly!"

"Yes!" The emperor woke up and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, call me all the senior leaders of the empire! Immediately!"

"Yes!" The guards outside hurriedly agreed and went out to pass orders.

But at this moment, Heglis suddenly said: "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!" Heglis said slowly.

"What?" The emperor immediately frowned when he heard this. Obviously he was still worried about what happened a few days ago, so he said directly: "No need, this time it is a major discussion. It doesn't matter whether the two little kids come or not!"

"No!" Heglis immediately said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has a very high prestige on the mainland. To be honest, she will probably work better than you if she seeks help from the nations. If she doesn't call her up for such a big thing, it's just inappropriate? Because maybe we have to ask for help from the dwarves and the elves!"

"This?" When the emperor heard this, it was indeed the case, so he had to say, "Okay, Catherine can come, but that guy Stephen would not give me any face in front of everyone. If it weren't for the sake of you and the teacher, I would have chopped off his head!"

"This~" Heglis then smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid he is also a person who has to invite him. Even his importance is still above the eldest princess!"

"Yeah?" The emperor immediately disagreed and said, "Highris, do you look down on your son-in-law very much? Why didn't I see what he has to do? Is it worth my invitation?"

"Your Majesty, I am dedicated to the public and never give up!" Heglis smiled bitterly and said, "The little Stephen is indeed unsure, because this person is extremely intelligent and can often make other plans and create miracles at the lowest cost. For example, this time, the killing of the Lich King was all due to the eldest princess, but in fact, he is giving advice and even implementing it in detail. You know that."

"This~" After hearing this, the emperor hesitated.

Seeing this, Heglis hurriedly continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and it affects the safety of the whole continent? Although Stephen may not be able to solve this matter, even if there is a little more hope, it is worth calling him! I hope Your Majesty can put state affairs first!"

"Hmph!" The emperor snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, and then said with a cold face: "Since you highly recommend it, I'm not willing to give you face, so I'll call that bastard too!"

"Yes, yes, thank you Your Majesty!" Heglis 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 Lao Xie and the old mage came later because they lived in the magic tower.

There were about twenty or thirty real senior executives in the Griffon Kingdom. After all, they only filled half of the conference hall.

Because Catherine has a noble status, she sat at the emperor's lower head. Lao Xie had the least qualifications, so she could only sit in the back, and the two were far apart. Lao Xie was extremely dissatisfied with this, but she had no choice but to do anything about it. So, after Lao Xie, who was angry, sat down, he immediately closed his eyes and rested, and made up his mind to sleep, not having any trouble with the broken things here. In fact, if it weren't for the old master who forced him to hold him, he wouldn't want to come.

After the people arrived, the envoy of the Beast Clan told the story again. Of course, such bomb-like news caused another sensation. Even Lao Xie couldn't help but be surprised.

At the same time, I thought to myself, "This seems to be a bad thing? I have an irreconcilable grudge with the demons. If they get the power, I will have to take revenge on me. Although I may not be afraid of them, the teacher is not feeling well when I am thinking about these bastards? No, I have to suppress these bastards like a way to make them too arrogant."

Thinking of this, although Lao Xie still looked indifferent on the surface, he was secretly concerned in his heart.

After the special envoy conveyed the news, the emperor said with a cold face: "Everyone, this is the news. Although the newly formed volcanic islands are still very hot now, according to the estimates of the Orc Kingdom, the volcanoes on that island will be quiet within half a year and the temperature will drop accordingly. However, when the temperature is still high, the Burning Legion can be used at will. However, for us, the temperature there is very deadly and ordinary soldiers cannot enter at all. In other words, in half a year, the Burning Legion can attack us from the island, but we can only defend passively without any power to fight back! This is obviously extremely unfavorable to us, so I ask you to discuss countermeasures. If you have any solutions, please tell me quickly!"

After the emperor finished speaking, the hall fell into silence. Everyone was thinking about countermeasures, but no one spoke. The emperor also knew that this matter was too urgent. After all, it was too big and no one could come up with countermeasures in a short while. Therefore, he waited patiently.
