Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Boudica saw Xiao Ce's expression and quickly stepped forward.

"Your Highness, is there some good news?"

Xiao Ce nodded, made no attempt to hide anything, and handed the reply from the Slavic country to Boudica.

Boudica took the letter, glanced at it, and stared at Xiao Ce with disbelief.

"Your Highness, did you really do it? How did you do it?"

Xiao Ce smiled slightly, and said mysteriously, "Human hearts..."

After Xiao Ce put the letter away, he said to Boudica, "It's time for us to say goodbye to those people as well."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at the foreigners on one side.

Boudica nodded.

As Xiao Ce walked over, the foreigners from various countries greeted him with smiles.

"Gentlemen, I, Xiao Ce, have seen all your help... I will not thank you enough. After we conquer Fusang, we will definitely distribute the profits to you as previously agreed."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, the foreigners from various countries were overjoyed.

The ships and warships they provided, though expensive, were truly insignificant compared to the profits a nation could share.

They all happily offered their blessings to Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce, Boudica, and Brian exchanged a glance, and it was just a normal farewell.

Without much talk, after exchanging a few pleasantries, they boarded the ship.

These ships were all steam-powered iron ships, which were nothing special in Xiao Ce's eyes; in fact, they could be considered outdated.

However, as previously mentioned, these main battle ships, with a displacement of over 7,000 tons and equipped with six cannons, are already quite remarkable.

They boarded the ship, stood on the deck, and some of the crew members began to give instructions.

The ships communicated with each other using flag signalmen, and soon set off in perfect unison.

Honestly, whether it's a past life or this life.

Xiao Ce hadn't been on a boat many times, so this experience was novel for him.

However, Xiao Ce knew nothing about navigation and naval warfare.

He wouldn't force himself to direct those things; professional matters should be left to professionals.

Having lived on the ship for many years, Boudica had undoubtedly become a professional in that field...

At first, Xiao Ce was fine, but after the second day, he started to get seasick.

Seeing Xiao Ce seasick, the people next to him showed no sympathy.

On the contrary, I couldn't help but chuckle.

After all, in their eyes, Xiao Ce had always been omnipotent and had no weaknesses.

This time, they finally discovered Xiao Ce's weakness.

After another bout of vomiting, Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei, who was trying not to laugh, and said with some resentment, "Don't you usually not like to laugh? Why are you laughing like this now?"

Da Lei wore a faint smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I've always suspected you were a god, but your reaction makes me realize you're actually human, just like us..."

Xiao Ce looked at Da Lei's appearance and said, "I'm not just a human being... but if this continues, I'll be dead soon... I never expected this, I considered many possibilities... but I never imagined it would be like this..."

Just then, Boudica brought over a bowl of herbal medicine.

Seeing Xiao Ce's weakness, Boudica said to him, "Your Highness, this can help alleviate your seasickness."

After listening to Boudica's words, Xiao Ce looked at the bowl of dark, unappetizing stuff and asked, "What is this?"

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "This is a folk remedy for seasickness. I had it prepared before I went to sea, and now it's actually come in handy..."

Xiao Ce nodded; he was truly in pain right now.

He picked up the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, he asked Boudica, "How are the soldiers who came with me?"

Boudica smiled slightly at Xiao Ce: "Don't worry, it's much better than I expected. Almost no one gets seasick!"

Xiao Ce was indignant when he heard Boudica say that.

"What? What did you say? Almost no one gets seasick? How is that possible... Aren't they all landlubbers?"

Boudica shook her head and said, "I don't know either... I'm surprised. Only a small percentage of people get motion sickness, but among so many, you're probably the one with the worst motion sickness..."

Seeing Boudica trying to suppress a laugh, Xiao Ce said helplessly, "If you want to laugh, just laugh... that would be really strange..."

Boudica couldn't help but laugh after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Xiao Ce realized that he had been putting on too much of a show, and as a result, he had revealed some of his weaknesses.

This made these people very curious.

Xiao Ce didn't have time to argue with them about this matter.

After drinking Boudica's medicine, Xiao Ce slept in a daze for an unknown period of time.

When he woke up, the feeling of unease had indeed subsided considerably.

"Your Highness, you're awake?" Da Lei asked Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce nodded: "How long have I been asleep?"

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "About a day and a night."

Xiao Ce was immediately incredulous: "What? Did Boudica give me some kind of love potion or something?"

Da Lei smiled and said, "Doesn't your current state prove that it's useful?"

After listening, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's true..."

As he was speaking, Xiao Ce suddenly realized he needed to urinate.

Stepping outside, I discovered that the scenery was even more breathtaking.

The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, surrounded by rows of neatly arranged ships.

Everyone was resting on the deck.

Xiao Ce then relieved himself freely in front of the vast sea...

Why has the boat stopped?

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, we've met up with the Slavic ships here... Since you haven't woken up, everyone is waiting for you to wake up."

"However, now, under Princess Boudica's direction, their naval commanders have begun discussing this matter together..."

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Da Lei, "Alright, then go tell the Slavic people that I've woken up."

Da Lei nodded.

Before Da Lei could even move, Xiao Ce had Da Lei take him there.

Da Lei nodded, then disembarked from a small boat nearby and approached a main ship.

Xiao Ce told Da Lei not to make a fuss, so not many people knew about it.

After they boarded the main ship, when they reached the outside of a cabin, they heard the sounds of a meeting taking place inside.

Xiao Ce did not go in to interrupt them.

He only glanced from one side; Reese and the rest of the group were inside...

Xiao Ce leaned against the outside and listened.

It was mainly the Slavs who were talking; I thought Xiao Zhan would comment.

To Xiao Ce's surprise, Xiao Zhan remained very humble.

Clearly, Xiao Zhan acknowledged his shortcomings and listened to their opinions.

He just occasionally raises some of his own opinions and questions.

The Slavic naval commanders did not act superior at this time.

Therefore, the two sides maintained a very harmonious atmosphere during their discussions.

However, soon, someone from Rhys secretly told him.

Xiao Ce was outside.

Rhys knew that Xiao Ce hadn't come in because he didn't want to disturb their meeting.

Rhys told them to continue their discussion and then walked out first.

As soon as Rhys stepped outside, he saw Xiao Ce.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Ce gestured for him to be quiet.

Then he moved to the side.

"Your Highness, why don't you come in? I heard you get seasick, are you alright now?"

When Xiao Ce saw Rhys say this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

They seemed to know about his seasickness and found it particularly amusing.

"If you want to laugh, there's no need to hold it in..."

Xiao Ce looked at Rhys's suppressed laughter and said.

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Rhys quickly composed himself and said, "Your Highness, I meant nothing by it. I just feel that even a strong person like you has weaknesses... and your weakness is seasickness."

After saying that, Rhys continued, "Your Highness, would you like to join their discussion about landing on the island?"

Xiao Ce smiled and didn't mind, then waved his hand: "No need, I'm someone who gets seasick, so I shouldn't get involved in naval battles. Let the professionals handle the professional matters... I won't interfere. If I go there, they won't be able to have a proper discussion."

Rhys nodded: "Alright. Your Highness, this time my father has said that we will do whatever you say."

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "You've seen it yourself; we should be learning from you. Besides, no matter who's in charge, as long as we win the battle, that's all that matters."

Rhys nodded, without waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Ce continued, "I should thank you all."

Rhys was a little confused by Xiao Ce's nonsensical remark.

"Thank us? Thank us for what?"

Xiao Ce said, "You're willing to cede your territory to me? My tricks might fool those oligarchs and your cabinet... but they probably won't fool your father, and you..."

I had planned to talk about this matter with Rhys later, but I never expected that Xiao Ce would bring it up on his own initiative.

He neither denied it nor pretended to be stupid.

After all, he knew very well that it was better to be frank and straightforward with someone as intelligent as Xiao Ce...

“Your Highness, although we guessed it... it is true that for us, taking that place wouldn't actually be very advantageous... but by handing it over to you, you can withstand most of the attacks from outsiders... so there's no need to thank us!”

"If anyone should say thank you, it should be us thanking you. Besides, we're allies now, so there's no need for all this talk between allies! The special economic zones we've established in the Turkic Khaganate have already been a great success... that's the benefit."

This Reese is very good at talking.

Neither overbearing nor overbearing.

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Rhys, "Alright, it seems the ally I found before was quite good..."

Ries said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you must have considered our concerns as well. Taking over Fusang is actually more beneficial than harmful... What are your thoughts?"

Xiao Ce said, "What you're considering is that everyone entering the sea has to pass through here. What I'm thinking about is how we'll expand outwards... If this territory is mine, I can go wherever I want. But if this territory is in your hands, we'll always have to pass through you..."

"So, difficulties do exist... but in the long run, they are in our favor!"

Rhys was somewhat surprised: "Fight out?"

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Of course, do you think the strategy I talked about with you guys before was a joke?"

"The Fusang Kingdom has already achieved considerable success in the Sulu, Đại Việt, and Siam regions. Even if we conquer Fusang this time, we won't be able to completely eradicate them..."

"This war is just the beginning! Therefore, this outlet to the sea is very important."

Rhys nodded: "Then you will also be under a lot of pressure."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, so after I brought these 600,000 elite troops here, I don't plan to bring any back."

Xiao Ce wanted to continue speaking, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

But that's a story for another time.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, that's all in the future. Our immediate priority is to take them down..."

Xiao Ce then said, "Alright, I think we should go in... otherwise, I'm going to start feeling dizzy again..."

Rhys nodded and took out a pill: "Your Highness, take one of these. It might help..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's surprised expression, Rhys instinctively swallowed the medicine: "This is seasickness medicine..."

As Rhys explained, Da Lei reached out his hand.

Rhys understood immediately and handed one of the bottles in his hand to Big Ray.

Da Lei sniffed it. He used to be one of the Twelve Fiends. Although he wasn't an expert in poisons, he could generally smell them.

"It's all calming herbs inside, there's nothing wrong with it..."

Seeing Da Lei say that, Xiao Ce ate one, then said to Rhys, "Rhys, don't mind it. There are always plenty of people who want to harm us!"

Rhys nodded and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright...it's alright..."

Xiao Ce continued, "By the way, given how much noise we've made here, knowing the nature of the Japanese, they should have noticed, right..."

Ries shook his head and said, "Your Highness, there really isn't. This sea area belongs to the Kingdom of Tianzhu, and it's occupied by a few countries led by Britain. Besides, the Kingdom of Fusang would never imagine that we would dare to attack them..."

"People, once they've achieved complete victory, become arrogant and look down on everyone! Clearly, that's the situation in Fusang right now... because according to our intelligence, they all believe that you and we are already engaged in a bloody battle. And, a very successful one at that..."

'Your Highness!! It's obvious you've completely fooled them...'
