The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

At this moment, the observation tower of Pulton Harbor.

Surrounded by the crowd, Isabella, wearing a crimson gold brocade robe, stepped onto the stairs and followed the spiral staircase to the top floor.

After seeing Isabella, Eddington, who had been waiting here for a long time, ordered the guards beside him to open the iron gate of the rooftop.

As the door lock was opened, the heavy iron door slowly opened under the push of the guards, and Isabella, wearing a hood, walked onto the rooftop. Behind her, in addition to several naval generals such as Eddington, James, who was temporarily granted the position of captain of the Royal Guard, also followed out.

As soon as she reached the rooftop, the sea breeze blew away the hood on Isabella's head, revealing her stern face.

The wind was strong, and the air contained a lot of salty and humid water vapor as well as a faint smell of gunpowder. Isabella wrinkled her nose and stretched out an arm from her robe that was so wide that it covered her entire body. Eddington at the side immediately handed her a telescope.

As Isabella took the telescope, the people behind her also shifted their gaze and looked at the rolling ocean.

Then, everyone's faces became more solemn. Listening to the sound of cannons mixed with the wind, Eddington's brows were furrowed into a lump, and even beads of sweat oozed from his clenched palms.

If it was a few days ago, when the military exercise had just started, he was still angry about it, thinking that the provocative behavior of the Yan people had touched the bottom line of the country. But today, the anger that was once buried in his heart gradually turned into fear.

The military exercise initiated by the Yan people lasted for five full days, and it was so wide in scope and so intense in training that it made people shudder with fear.

Such a large-scale event has never been seen before even in the history of our country. Even if we conduct joint military exercises with Shenglu and Hungary, it cannot be compared with Yan's military exercises this time. Of course, this possibility is no longer possible now.

Because of this, Eddington felt that the pressure from the other side was getting heavier and heavier, just like a mountain pressing on his back, making it difficult to breathe.

Moreover, it was not just himself. Eddington knew that everyone's mood had become increasingly heavy in the past few days. Even Her Majesty the Queen, who was always positive and optimistic, had not smiled at all in the past two days.

It was obvious that she also felt a lot of pressure.

At this moment, Eddington looked at Isabella's profile and saw that her brows were getting more and more furrowed. He took a step forward and whispered:

"Your Majesty, fortunately these guys did not come any closer to our port."

Isabella slowly put down the telescope and said indifferently, "It's close enough."

"A little closer, that would be a landing operation."

Hearing this, Eddington's heart skipped a beat, and he whispered bitterly, "Based on the results observed at Merida Port, the Yan people have already conducted a landing combat exercise on our Fat Island. Last night, they continued to bomb for more than three hours."

Isabella stared at the sea and said, "The buildings on the island should have been almost destroyed."

Eddington sighed softly, "It should be, Your Majesty."

At this point, he pondered for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I once again implore you to leave Port Pulton immediately..."

Before she finished her words, Isabella suddenly turned around and walked toward the door. The people behind her immediately dispersed. She strode down the stairs, and Eddington quickly followed her.

"Your Majesty... You really..." Eddington, who was following Isabella, called out in a low voice, but Isabella only said:

"I'm not leaving until their exercise is over."

"But, if..." Eddington raised his eyebrows and looked at Isabella. Isabella turned her stern face:

"I saw it." After saying that, she turned around and walked straight down the stairs.

Eddington closed his mouth and followed Isabella in silence.

-

Two days later at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Accompanied by several military trumpet sounds that resounded through the sky, the seven-day maritime military exercise came to an end.

In the last round of exercises, steam ironclad ships distributed in various sea areas fired shells towards the ports of various countries, but this was only an air bombardment, and the shells finally fell into the sea.

However, this move made the navies of various countries in major ports break out in cold sweats. In the waters near Hungary, the Hungarians even sounded the alarm of being attacked. However, after seeing the steam ironclad ships slowly turning, the Hungarians finally lifted the alarm in fear.

Later, in the evening, Qin Ze, who was still staying in the Roman Islands, received reports from various fleets.

"Your Majesty, our military exercise at sea has been successfully concluded, lasting a total of seven days. During this period, all countries behaved well and did not send troops to obstruct us."

Qin Ze nodded slightly and said slowly: "Very good, the goal has been half achieved."

"Next, just wait patiently for two days."

-

But what was both reasonable and unexpected was that just a few hours later, just after nine o'clock in the evening, the communications soldier who returned from the sea brought the news.

"Your Majesty, our fleet stationed in the territorial waters of Shenglu has sent a message that Marshal Lucart of Shenglu has requested to see you and hopes that you can have a meeting with them. As for the time and place, it is up to you to decide and they will fully cooperate."

Hearing this, Qin Ze held his chin and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Tell him I'll think about it, and let him go back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The signalman immediately left by boat.

-

At the same time, a meeting with a solemn atmosphere was being held at the Pulton Inner Harbor Maritime Bureau.

"It's not clear whether their military exercises have ended. This may just be a trick used by the Yan people. How can they send ships over at this time?"

"You know, although their fleet has retreated some distance, it is still stranded in our territorial waters. As for how many warships there are, we have no way of figuring it out." Dolphin shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, Eddington glanced at Isabella, who had a serious expression on her face. After taking a deep breath, he stood up and said:

"I think it's out of the question."

"Your Majesty, I request to go and communicate with the Yan people to arrange the next meeting."

After the words were spoken, everyone else remained silent except for Dolphin who was still hesitant and wanted to say something.

In silence, Isabella slowly stood up, looked at Eddington solemnly and said:

"Okay, General Eddington, then please go."

Eddington nodded and answered with a firm expression: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Shortly afterwards, when Eddington was about to leave, Isabella gave him a private letter saying:

"General Eddington, if this trip goes well, please help me deliver this letter to the commander of the Yan people."
