Chapter 1061 They Betrayed
In fact, the generals at sea were all very anxious at this time.
The reason is simple: although they were outside the sea area, they were constantly monitoring what was happening in the sea area in front of them.
Although they didn't know what to do, keeping an eye on things always made them feel more at ease.
However, not long ago, the fog that had been hanging over the sea vanished in an instant.
Some people couldn't quite believe their eyes at first.
After all, that fog seemed to be rooted in the sea right in front of us, an unchanging mist from ancient times.
They had indeed disappeared at that moment; only after the sailors confirmed it with each other did they dare to believe it...
Meanwhile, Xiao Yang on the main warship was getting anxious and asked what was going on.
He then asked several warship captains, but none of them knew the situation either.
After all, both Xiao Ce and Odin had repeatedly told the captains before entering this sea area that no matter what happened, they should not enter that sea area.
Military orders are absolute; even if Xiao Yang wanted to go in and take a look, they could not obey.
Xiao Yang hadn't originally planned to come, but as soon as Xiao Ce left, he received an urgent letter.
After seeing the urgent letter, he went to find Xiao Ce.
However, Xiao Ce had already entered Lost Island, so he could only wait here.
As for the contents of the urgent letter, Xiao Yang had no idea.
Xiao Yang only knew that this urgent message was sent out by them through Lingas City and then through Kimberley.
Because the letter was addressed to Xiao Ce, Xiao Yang naturally wouldn't open it.
But waiting idly only makes you more and more anxious.
After all, the sea in front of us was calm and peaceful.
However, the captains have already made their point very clear at this point...
Therefore, even if Xiao Yang was anxious, he could only wait.
Staring at such a calm sea for too long can easily make one feel sleepy.
Just as Xiao Yang was in a daze, someone in the cabin called out.
"Captain, they're coming out!"
This sentence was like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake.
Everyone looked toward the calm sea.
All the bee boats that had gone in were now coming out, without a single one missing.
"A miracle...it's an absolute miracle, they came out completely unharmed!"
As the captain spoke, he began to direct his crew to greet them.
At this moment, Odin and Xiao Ce saw that the warships had sent out beehives to pick them up.
They came straight towards Odin's ship.
Once they arrived on Odin's ship, they were taken aboard the main warship.
Xiao Ce spotted Xiao Yang immediately; Xiao Yang shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Before Xiao Yang could speak, Xiao Ce said to him, "Xiao Yang, what brings you here?"
Xiao Yang said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, I have an urgent matter to attend to."
Xiao Yang said he had urgent business, but he directly asked Xiao Ce, "Brother, what did you do to solve this problem that has plagued the West for so many years?"
Xiao Ce didn't respond to Xiao Yang's question, but instead said to him, "It's a long story. Didn't you say you had something urgent to attend to? What happened?"
Looking around at the crowd, Xiao Yang said directly to Xiao Ce, "Brother, may I speak to you in private?"
Xiao Ce glanced at Odin, then said to him, "General Odin, you're in charge of the rest..."
Odin nodded, then asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, what should we do with the director and his men?"
Xiao Ce pondered for a moment, then said, "Treat them to good food and drink. I'll go talk to them privately later..."
Before Odin could speak, Xiao Ce chuckled to himself and then said to Odin, "They don't need good food or drink, and they don't need any either..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Odin smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, I understand what you mean..."
After listening to Odin's words, Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Yang to the side.
The two of them went directly to a cabin next door.
Once inside, Xiao Yang didn't waste any time and immediately handed Xiao Ce the letter that Kimberly had sent.
"This is an urgent message sent to you by people from Lingas City in the British Empire, using Kimberley's high-speed network..."
"Because it's an urgent letter, and it's addressed to you personally... I have absolutely no idea what happened?"
After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce didn't hesitate.
He took the letter from Xiao Yang and opened it.
The letter was a message from Morgana, and the message was simple: "The Illuminati have betrayed us, and the British Empire is in danger! Mr. Ce, do not come back."
This message was a coded message from Xiao Ce to Morgana.
Because it was compiled by Xiao Ce himself, he knew what had happened at a glance.
Because it was encrypted, even Xiao Yang, craning his neck to look, couldn't understand what it was.
Xiao Yang just looked at Xiao Ce with curiosity.
Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yang, "Something has happened in Lingas City. The Illuminati has turned against us!"
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, then said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, I knew those damn Illuminati members were unreliable... those people are just two-faced scoundrels..."
"What happened in Lingas City? Does that mean something happened to Boudica as well?" Yin Pan'er asked Xiao Ce directly.
Xiao Ce shook his head: "Morgana's letter didn't mention it..."
Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yang stood by without any urgency, only looking at Xiao Ce with concern.
They simply looked at Xiao Ce without saying a word.
The reason they didn't interrupt was simply because they understood Xiao Ce very well.
They knew very well that Xiao Ce had the ability to solve problems.
Everything went as they had imagined. After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yang, "Let's go back to your Roman Empire first."
Xiao Yang nodded to Xiao Ce, then said, "I'll make the arrangements..."
Xiao Ce then said to Da Lei, "Da Lei, go ahead."
Xiao Ce was worried that Odin would not obey Xiao Yang's orders.
Da Lei nodded knowingly.
Just then, Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you don't seem to be in a hurry..."
Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "What's done is done, and we must trust Morgana and Boudica's abilities. Although the Illuminati has betrayed us, we currently know nothing about the situation in the British Empire..."
"Haste makes waste. We need to understand the situation before we can know how to respond..."
"And Morgana and the others said not to go back... there must be something wrong..."
Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
Then Xiao Ce turned to Xiao Yang and asked, "By the way, Xiao Yang has a question for you."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Ce seriously and said, "Big brother, what do you say...?"
"Which of the twelve families of the Illuminati is the seated family in your Roman Empire?"
Xiao Yang directly addressed Xiao Ce, saying, "Brother, it's the Aurelius family. Although we haven't infiltrated them, they don't have much say in the Roman Empire now... Of course, we currently control the Roman Empire's government, which means we've reached a certain balance with them..."
Xiao Ce nodded to Xiao Yang: "So, you two have a pretty good relationship?"
Xiao Yang smiled at Xiao Ce, waved his hand, and said, "We've only met once, we're not exactly acquainted... However, they still have to give us face in Dragon Kingdom City..."
Before Xiao Ce could speak, Xiao Yang said to him, "Brother, do you want to meet with them? I can arrange it."
Xiao Ce nodded: "Is Kimberly in Dragon City?"
Xiao Yang shook his head: "Kimberly came by briefly, but since he didn't know when you'd be back, he left first! He said that the real way to help you is to run the Dark Light brand well. However, he left behind a man named Kim Hulk, who said he could represent Kimberly in many ways, which means he..."
After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "This Kimberly is as clear-headed as ever..."
Xiao Yang nodded: "I think he's right too... So, brother, let's go back first. Let's see if we can get any more information from Jin Hulk. As for whether or not to look for the Aurelius family, we'll need to see what information Jin Hulk and his team have..."
Xiao Ce gave Xiao Yang a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "Smart..."
Seeing that Xiao Ce could still put on a bright smile, Xiao Yang said to him, "Big brother, you really are yourself... You can still talk and laugh so freely..."
After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "After all we've been through. And things will work out eventually. Morgana's message to me clearly means she doesn't want me to go back; they probably already have some kind of plan..."
"Maybe they've set a trap for us, dug a pit, and are waiting for us to fall in... No rush..."
As they were talking, Da Lei returned.
Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Their ships are already on their way back..."
Xiao Yang said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, you could actually stay in the Roman Empire... We're actually closer to East Asia from here..."
After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "We'll see when the time comes..."
Da Lei, standing to the side, said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, aren't we still going to Devil's Island?"
Xiao Ce nodded to Da Lei, then said, "We may have to abandon the trip to Devil's Island!"
Da Lei was somewhat stunned after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
Xiao Ce didn't say anything, but simply asked Da Lei to turn on the laptop he always carried with him...
After a series of actions, Xiao Ce turned on his laptop.
As expected, everything went exactly as Xiao Ce had imagined; all the locations on the map that were originally in the notebook disappeared.
Clearly, those location addresses disappeared after the Star Network Hub was shut down.
The connections between this computer and those other places have all been cut off.
Yin Pan'er had already noticed the problem, so she directly asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you said we can't go because those locations on the map have disappeared?"
Xiao Ce nodded.
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er still raised a question.
"Your Highness, didn't you draw all these blueprints? General Ollie even has a copy..."
Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then asked her, "That's right, that's true... But we've both received information from Thomson that Alcatraz is a mobile island."
"Furthermore, we inquired with General Ollie, and it seems it would take at least half a month for us to reach that previous landmark..."
"Previously, everything was fine as long as there were no problems. But the Illuminati's betrayal at this moment definitely indicates that another force is starting to move..."
"We've done deals with the four cardinals of the Illuminati's headquarters. Those four cardinals are completely profit-driven; they'll work for whoever offers the most tempting terms..."
Yin Pan'er nodded: "So, you're worried that the original person took the initiative?"
Xiao Ce nodded: "Besides, as you said before, that Devil's Island was very likely a bait deliberately placed there to lure me in... Before, I didn't have much of a choice... But now, I have a completely different trump card... We can change our strategy..."
Yin Pan'er and Da Lei were both following Xiao Ce, so they naturally knew very well what Xiao Ce meant by his so-called trump card.
It's that Lingxu.
Although they all understood, Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Ce with a blank expression: "Big brother, what's your trump card?"
Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Yang's expression, smiled, and then said, "You don't need to know about this trump card... Besides, since I've already said it's a trump card, do you think I would let you know?"
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled and nodded. Then, seeing that the important matter had been discussed, Xiao Yang continued...
His gossipy nature was ignited, and he said to Xiao Ce, "Big brother, when you went into that misty area, did you manage to log onto that Lost Island? What happened to you? How did the mist disappear? Did you do it, big brother? You're amazing..."
Xiao Ce saw that Xiao Yang had asked so many questions in a row...
Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, go and tell Xiao Yang about our experiences."
Then Xiao Ce gave Yin Pan'er a knowing look...
