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

Xiao Ce's words undoubtedly gave them a lot of confidence.

Although Wei Wuji spoke with great conviction, he had actually practiced many things and tactics in his mind.

Even during the exercises, they were practiced many times.

However, a fake will always be a fake.

This was indeed my first time in actual combat, although I had only fought one combat mission in a Slavic country.

However, there are still many changes at sea and on land.

Therefore, Xiao Ce said they would be together, and he was quite relieved.

Although Xiao Ce himself said that he probably couldn't help much.

However, Wei Wuji felt that even if Xiao Ce did nothing, he could simply stay quietly by Xiao Ce's side.

Wei Wuji felt that this was a great recommendation and a reliable support.

With that, they went off to make their own arrangements.

The first thing they did was to release a lot of hot air balloons.

The advantage of this hot air balloon is its small size, and these celestial soldiers are not just hot air boats.

When we fought against the Slavic countries before, it was just that kind of war, and there was absolutely no need to use any other tools.

For example, the single-person exploration hot air balloons are modified versions, whose only advantage is that they are lightweight and almost undetectable.

Previously, large hot air balloons would be seen to some extent after taking off.

Only after ascending to a certain altitude can the concealment effect be achieved.

However, this concealment is only relative. Once discovered, it will still be possible to see what it is.

However, these single-person hot air balloons can disappear from the air without reaching a very high altitude.

Moreover, he also concealed some of the flames.

It is an excellent investigation tool.

Previously, since Xiao Ce had not spoken, Wei Wuji did not dare to make a decision on his own, so the heavenly soldiers were not used at all.

Now that Xiao Ce has set no limits for himself, they naturally won't set any limits for themselves either.

...

This is in the sea area not far from the third island chain.

Dark, leaden clouds, as if pressed down on the sea by an invisible giant hand, almost met the crests of the surging waves, enveloping the entire sea in a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere. The gale, like a raging beast, rampaged between the sky and the sea, emitting mournful roars, churning the water like a boiling cauldron, and the surging waves, like jagged mountains, rose and fell, churning and roaring wildly.

The Lannister family's steel fleet, appointed by the Illuminati as the commander-in-chief of this naval battle.

Like a group of terrifying beasts emerging from the deep sea, they arrived in this area silently and then methodically laid out an impenetrable net.

The warships were tall and imposing, their hulls forged from thick steel. The cold metallic luster gleamed with a chilling light under the gloom, like the cold gaze of death itself.

The iconic golden roaring lion on the bow, though weathered by time, remains lifelike and proudly erect, as if proclaiming the supreme authority and ruthless rule of House Lannister.

On the deck of the warship, rows of cannons stood in neat and solemn rows, like lurking beasts. The cannon barrels were dark and gleaming, exuding a sinister aura in the dim light. The dark muzzles pointed directly at the sea, as if ready to spew deadly flames and steel at any moment, blasting any enemy who dared to approach to dust.

The shells were neatly stacked to one side, their warheads gleaming with a cold metallic luster, like the scythe in the hand of death, exuding a chilling aura of death.

The soldiers, clad in specially made iron armor, stood like silent statues, their expressions stern, their eyes piercing, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

They wore helmets adorned with lion manes, which fluttered in the raging sea wind, adding to their majesty and coldness.

Their fleet was centered around the Lannister family flagship, distributed like stars around the moon. The ships maintained just the right distance from each other, allowing for rapid mutual support on the ever-changing battlefield while cleverly avoiding the risk of being concentrated by the enemy due to excessive density.

Between the warships, the signalmen, like nimble birds, stood firm at their posts in the gale, their flags waving up and down, accurately conveying every command from the commander, ensuring smooth communication and unified action throughout the fleet, like a tightly coordinated steel behemoth.

Beneath the surface, however, lurks another secret. The fleet had already secretly deployed numerous sharp, concealed stakes in the surrounding waters. Like deadly fangs hidden in the darkness, they silently awaited their prey's approach. Once a ship inadvertently touched these stakes, its hull would instantly break apart, sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Lannister Rambo, the Lannister naval commander.

He stood tall and straight on the high deck of the flagship, wearing a heavy cloak embroidered with a golden lion, which fluttered in the gale.

His eyes were sharp and cold, gazing at the sea like a hawk, as if trying to see through the turbulent waters.

He knew that with this meticulously laid trap, his side had already gained the upper hand, and was just waiting for those so-called East Asian armies to rush into this carefully set death trap like moths to a flame.

At this moment, a chilling tension and deadly atmosphere filled the air. The sea breeze, carrying a strong salty and metallic smell, was like an invisible hand tightly gripping everyone's throat, foreshadowing an earth-shattering battle about to erupt.

Soldiers kept running over to report.

"Lord Rambo, Lucius Gallux's fleet of one thousand warships from the Gallic Empire has arrived southwest of our Lannister fleet, and they are ready!"

"Lord Rambo, the fleet of Marcus Aurelius of the Roman Empire, a formation of over a thousand warships, has arrived to the southeast of our Lannister fleet, and they are ready!"

"Lord Rambo, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Rust Karl fleet, a squadron of over a thousand warships, has arrived to the southeast of our Lannister fleet and is ready!"

"Lord Rambo, just now, all four of our imperial fleets have arrived... a total of nearly five thousand main battle fleet formations, and more than ten thousand logistics and supply warships, totaling nearly four hundred thousand elite naval personnel, have all arrived."

"The officials from all sides are requesting to come and meet with us. They are all waiting for our reply."

Lannister Rambo stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Actually, I just don't understand. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to deal with these small East Asian fishermen? It's a joke... a huge joke."

"Our entire Lannister fleet is more than enough to deal with these small-time East Asian fishermen..."

At this point, Lannister Rambo had already laid a trap.

In fact, he completely disregarded the enemy he was about to encounter, and could even be described as despising him.

However, he had no choice but to comply with the instructions of the diplomatic note.

Several lieutenants, also clad in armor, beside Rambo spoke up: "Lord Rambo, there's no need to underestimate them! This is the first time we've joined forces with other armies and nations! Actually, calling it a joint effort could also be seen as us assessing their strength... Let's see their individual capabilities..."

Hearing one lieutenant speak, another lieutenant chimed in, "It's not just about probing; it's also a show of force... to let them see that there's a reason why Britain is the leading power among these nations..."

After listening to his lieutenants' words, Rambo nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, if we go by what you've said... then it's not entirely wrong... otherwise, I think it's meaningless..."

"Moreover, the people of the Illuminati don't know that although they claim to be our respective representatives, the people we each handed over to the Illuminati are all scraps we look down on... You tell me yourselves, the so-called representatives we sent were trash. It's normal for trash to be defeated by trash, so what are we afraid of?"

"However, I came here this time to demonstrate our strength and let them truly see the power of our Lannister army."

After Rambo said that, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then let's give the order."

Rambo nodded, then said, "By the way, where is the Illuminati's agent?"

The lieutenant replied, "It seems to be the side of Lucius Gallux of the Gallic Empire."

Rambo said, "Let's invite her to come along. Since she's an agent chosen by the Illuminati, and they're here to observe, then without a doubt, it's best for them to watch from our side, from the optimal vantage point..."

After hearing Rambo's words, the others nodded in agreement.

"We'll make the arrangements right away..."

Rambo gazed at the dark sea and asked, "What else are those lowly East Asian fishermen up to?"

After hearing Rambo's words, the lieutenant shook his head with a smile and then said, "Reporting to my lord, no, ever since they sent some small fishing boats to scout, our men have easily wiped out about half of them, which scared them half to death... Now they don't even have any small fishing boats left..."

If Han Da and Yan Jia weren't there, they would have been absolutely furious that their meticulously designed and researched beehive was being called a small fishing boat...

The Bee Ships were converted from warships. They were smaller and more convenient, making them more suitable for reconnaissance and suicide attacks. Because they were not designed to be survivable, a wave of Bee Ships suffered heavy losses.

In other words, these beehives were given reconnaissance orders, or if they were to carry out suicide attack missions.

Even if these people don't die, they'll still be through a lot, which is why they wouldn't say these things so casually.

As he spoke, Lannister Rambo tightened his coat and said, "The wind is picking up again! Alright, go prepare for our Lannister family feast... Even on this vast ocean, we need to let them know, to let them know, the dignity of our British nation, the Lannisters."

The lieutenants listened and nodded.

At this moment, on the southwestern end of a massive, dark steel fleet, aboard Lucius Golux's flagship.

Yin Pan'er, wearing a fur cloak, stood on the deck, gazing at the location of the Sulu Kingdom.

Her expression was extremely complicated.

Xiaoyue stood beside Yin Pan'er and said, "My lord, you've been watching for quite a while now. Let's go inside and rest for a bit. The sea breeze is too chilly at night!"

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Yue, "Do you think they can withstand such a large force?"

Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "My lord, isn't it obvious? Including the warships for logistics and supplies, they have nearly ten thousand warships... The Illuminati has practically brought over the most elite navies of the four great empires."

"The four great empires have wasted so much time on this final piece of the puzzle in East Asia. They're clearly desperate. Look at these warships, these cannons—we've never even seen anything like them before... How can we fight this war? It's impossible. It's like an old man playing with a child..."

As she spoke, Xiaoyue noticed the deep worry in Yin Pan'er's eyes: "My lord, are you still worried about that person?"

Yin Pan'er gave a bitter smile.

Xiaoyue suddenly understood something and said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, you didn't come here to help that person? But rather..."

Yin Pan'er looked at Xiaoyue, preventing her from continuing.

"Don't overthink it... I'm just their trump card. The Illuminati is using me as a precaution... and I'll just cooperate obediently..."

Xiaoyue looked at Yin Pan'er and nodded: "My lord, I naturally understand what you mean. However, you don't need to worry too much. That Xiao Ce over there is no simple person... Moreover, he should not be in the Kingdom of Sulu right now... He has enough time to escape... So, you shouldn't worry about him too much!"

Yin Pan'er gave a wry smile and said, "I'm not afraid he'll run away... I'm afraid he won't run away... You should know his personality... He's not the kind of person who easily gives up and runs away, but the kind of person who faces difficulties head-on, the more difficult it is, the more he wants to rise to the challenge!"

Xiaoyue understood immediately and said, "My lord, do you mean we should try to send a message?"

Yin Pan'er shook her head: "The timing isn't right... Let's not rush it, let's take it one step at a time..."

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, didn't you choose that self-proclaimed true Crown Prince Xiao Ce? If that monster finds out you betrayed him, the consequences will be..."

Xiaoyue was halfway through her sentence when she seemed to realize something, and her face showed a look of fear!
