April 20th.

The capital of Shenglu Kingdom is Pelion, and the royal court of Heather.

In the office, Emperor Figus put the letter in his hand into the pile of documents in the drawer with a sad face and sighed.

Opposite him, Defense Minister Depardieu also looked worried, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the military exercise of Yan Country has not yet ended, and the Sari Country is..."

Before he could finish his words, Figus scratched his head in annoyance and interrupted, "It's already like this, what else can we do?"

"The pressure from the Sarijani country is already enough for us. If there is more... it doesn't matter."

Depardieu hesitated and said, "But last time we requested a meeting with Emperor Yan Guotong, they ignored us. This is very troublesome."

"We are now in a situation between these two countries..."

He didn't finish his words, but Figus understood the worried look in his eyes.

Figus, who was scratching his scalp, put down his hand, looked at the strands of hair in his palm, and said sadly: "What else can I say now?"

"Lucat once assured me solemnly that it was the wisest choice for us to establish diplomatic relations with Yan Country at this time..."

But just when he said this, Figus's face suddenly turned red and he slapped the table in anger.

"Bullshit! The Yan people ignored us!"

"Lucart's promise was bullshit. I should have known better!"

"This damn bastard has put us in a dilemma. I should have hanged him right away!"

Figueroa's sudden outburst made Depardieu nervous, and he hurriedly tried to comfort him: "Your Majesty, it has come to this..."

Before he finished speaking, Figus slapped the table again and said angrily: "I have to transfer that bastard back to Pelion and execute him personally!"

Depardieu sat up from his chair and said hurriedly, "No, no, Your Majesty, calm down."

"Lucart has dealt with the Yan people before, and is now leading troops to guard the seaport. There is no one more suitable than him at the moment."

Figus's face flushed, he suddenly opened the drawer, took out the letter and slammed it on the table, pointing at the letter and shouting:

"This bastard actually found a bunch of excuses to fool me!"

"And I was told to set off immediately and rush to Botani Harbor. After the Yan people finish their military exercises, I will ask them for a meeting!"

After hearing this, Depardieu finally understood why Figueroa was so angry. Lucat's letter was indeed abrupt and offensive.

This made him frown and he responded: "This... Lukat is too irrational."

Figus picked up the letter, shaking it violently while cursing:

"This bastard's head is full of shit!"

"How dare he suggest such a thing?"

"Does he have to promise me one more time?! Promise that there won't be a war after I go to Botany Harbor?!"

"Damn it, I can't believe his lies anymore. The situation is so tense now. If a war breaks out, Botany Harbor will be immediately drawn into the flames of war."

"Does this bastard want to see me captured by the Yan people?!"

Figus was so angry that he shook his head, and his big nose became even redder.

Depardieu frowned and said, "Lucart is too reckless. Your Majesty's safety should always be put first."

"Let's not talk about whether the Yan people's exercise will stop at the right time. If they take any more evil actions, you will be in danger."

Depardieu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you must not go to Port Botany at this time."

Figus crossed his arms and snorted, "Of course, I definitely won't go."

"but....."

He stroked his chin and looked at Depardieu, then continued, "But if the Yan people really end the military exercise, as Lucat said, we will have to continue to request a meeting with the Emperor of Yan."

Just after saying this, Figus suddenly slapped his forehead in annoyance: "Oh my God, I really don't want to do this, but you know, Depardieu, we have been forced into no choice."

"Isabella keeps putting pressure on me. If this continues, I really won't be able to hold on any longer."

Following Figueroa's distressed words, Depardieu let out a long sigh.

And the sigh just started.

"So, Depardieu, you are the only one who can share my worries." Figus looked at him with burning eyes.

Depardieu froze and looked at Figus with a slightly stunned expression.

Without waiting for Depardieu to speak, Figus said quickly:

"Yes, as you thought, you will leave for Port Botany tomorrow morning on my behalf."

"After the Yan people's military exercise is over, you, Lucat, and Tess will go on my behalf to request a meeting with the Emperor of Yan."

At this point, Figueroa stood up and walked to Depardieu, leaned over to look at him and said, "I expect a good result, you know."

Depardieu looked bitter, but he could only nod and agree: "Okay, Your Majesty."

"But if you say..."

Before he could finish his words, Figus interrupted him by patting his shoulder and said, "Don't worry about that. Just go ahead. With Lukat here, your safety will be guaranteed."

Figus straightened up and sighed:

"Times have changed, and we have to adapt to the new era..."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Depardieu agreed with a worried look on his face.

"Well, go ahead. I hope you can bring me a relatively good result." Figus waved his hand.

Depardieu slowly stood up, nodded, and turned to walk out. However, just after he took two steps, Figus quickly stepped forward and whispered in his ear:

"Remember, don't provoke conflict."

"Never at any time, no matter what the situation."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

On the other side, Port of Pulton.

Despite the obstruction of many officers, Isabella left the Maritime Administration in the inner harbor at noon, and arrived at the dock of Port Pulton in the afternoon under the escort of a large number of soldiers.

With the dock as the center, a large number of warships are currently anchored near the narrow coastline. Not only that, these warships are now in a state of combat readiness, fully loaded with ammunition, and the soldiers are always on standby, waiting for an order to fight at any time.

Within the dock, the original coastal defense facilities have been greatly expanded in recent times, and its defense capabilities have been significantly improved. The army troops that have arrived are also stationed in various places at this moment.

But when Isabella decided to come to the dock, everyone, whether navy or army, felt extremely nervous.

The reason is that Yan Country’s maritime military exercises have not ended until today. In total, they have been conducting the exercises for five days.

Moreover, the nearest exercise range is less than forty nautical miles from the port of Pulton.

People standing in the harbor, looking through binoculars from high up, can even have a bird's-eye view of their warships sailing on the sea.
