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

Compared to Xiaoyue, Yin Pan'er seemed much calmer at this moment.

Yin Pan'er gently patted Xiaoyue's back: "Don't be nervous, don't worry. I know the right balance..."

Xiaoyue wanted to say something, but then she saw several people coming over.

Xiaoyue obediently shut her mouth.

At this moment, Lucius Gollux and several admirals and sailors arrived.

This Lucius Gaulcus was a prince of the Gallo-Pacific royal family, so he was considered a gentleman.

In particular, Yin Pan'er was sent by the Illuminati.

After they arrived, they greeted them according to the etiquette of their Gallo-Israel Empire.

After a simple bow...

Lucius Golux said respectfully, "Your Excellency, it's so late, why are you still on deck? What are you looking for? Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Yin Pan'er smiled slightly and waved her hand: "Mr. Lucius, no, I was just feeling stuffy in the cabin."

Because of the Illuminati, their entire Western Union was unified and used the language of the British Empire.

Despite this, these people, who were outside the British Empire, spoke the British Empire very poorly.

Let alone Yin Pan'er, even Xiao Yue, who is next to Yin Pan'er, is better than what Lucius Golux said.

Just as Lucius Gollux was gathering his thoughts, Yin Pan'er looked at him and asked, "Mr. Lucius, is there something you need to tell me? You can speak frankly..."

Lucius Golux was very pleased to hear Yin Pan'er speak so directly.

With a smile and a warm nod, she said, "That's right, Ms. Yin. If you don't mind, I'm happy to speak frankly with you..."

Lucius Golux said he would be straightforward, but he still beat around the bush for a long time.

Yin Pan'er listened patiently until they finished speaking.

In reality, it was Lannister Rambo of the British Empire who invited them to a dinner party on his warship, and he also invited Yin Pan'er.

Lucius Golux meant that Lannister Rambo was a man who cared a lot about his image, so it would be best to send Yin Pan'er instead.

It took Lucius Golux almost the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to explain such a simple matter.

Previously, Yin Pan'er thought that "these Westerners" was a direct synonym, but after actually interacting with them, she realized that...

These Westerners are not always like that, especially the higher their status, the more they prefer to beat around the bush.

This was especially true of the nobles of the Gallo-Baltic Empire.

After Lucius Golux finished speaking in a roundabout way, he stared at Yin Pan'er with burning eyes.

It seemed they were eager to know Yin Pan'er's answer.

Yin Pan'er wanted to ask him a few questions, such as whether he was somewhat afraid of Lannister Rambo of the British Empire.

However, Yin Pan'er dismissed the thought the moment it crossed her mind.

There is no other reason.

Yin Pan'er had no doubt that if she spoke a single word more to Lucius Golux, he would go on and on for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Yin Pan'er ultimately decided that it was better to avoid trouble than to cause it.

He directly demonstrated to Lucius Golux what it means to speak frankly.

“Yes, Mr. Lucius, I will go with you.”

Lucius Golux and his group were probably used to beating around the bush... so they were quite surprised to see Yin Pan'er being so direct.

"You just agreed?"

Seeing that they seemed uncomfortable, Yin Pan'er asked with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Yeah... what's wrong? Mr. Lucius, is there a problem? Or is it not allowed?"

Lucius Golux smiled, waved his hand, and quickly said, "No...no...of course...this is the best!"

With that, Lucius Gollux ordered his men to prepare a shuttle boat.

After making some preparations, Yin Pan'er said to Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, let's prepare our important things and carry them with us."

Hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiaoyue asked with a puzzled look, "My lord, why aren't we coming back?"

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Look at Lucius Golux, he seems to be very wary of Lannister Rambo and his men in the British Empire."

"Since Lannister Rambo also invited me, he must know my identity. The British Empire considers itself the leader of the four kingdoms, so naturally they will not allow someone like me to fall into the hands of their Gallic army!"

Xiaoyue nodded and did as she was told: "Then, sir, do I have connections with any faction?"

Yin Pan'er gave a wry smile: "It has no impact. The reason I was asked to come with Lucius and the others was simply because it was on the way!"

Xiaoyue nodded: "We still need to be careful... Master, my eyelid has been twitching lately. And it's my right eye."

A twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck—this is a folk saying from the Xiao Kingdom.

However, Yin Pan'er did not largely agree with this.

After all, she had heard other sayings, such as a twitching left eye means good fortune, and a twitching right eye means good luck…

Actually, she had believed it before.

However, Xiao Ce said it was just because he hadn't rested well, and that it was something like eye strain or muscle cramps.

In Xiao Ce's words, that's called science.

When Yin Pan'er realized she was thinking about Xiao Ce again, she shook her head.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Xiaoyue asked with a worried expression.

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past!"

Without saying a word, Xiaoyue asked, "My lord, are you thinking of that fake Xiao Ce?"

Hearing Xiaoyue's words and seeing her confident expression, Yin Pan'er asked in surprise, "How can you be so sure that Xiao Ce is a fake? Actually, the one we've been in contact with all along is that Xiao Ce!"

Xiaoyue gave an awkward smile: "Sir, weren't you persuaded by that person?"

Xiaoyue could see what Yin Pan'er was thinking, so she added a sentence.

"Sir, I didn't say who is good or bad. I was just distinguishing them."

Seeing Xiaoyue's caution, Yin Pan'er smiled and said to Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, you don't need to be like this! Between us, you don't need to think things through before you speak."

Seeing this, Xiaoyue smiled and nodded at Yin Pan'er: "My lord, I understand!"

As they were talking, Lucius Gollux sent someone to urge them on.

They tidied themselves up and then went out.

Following the shuttle boat, they discovered that other boats were also constantly moving.

Although they brought a large fleet, they maintained order and a safe distance from each other.

Despite being in the same sea area, their shuttle ship took a full half hour to reach the British Empire's Lannister Navy-controlled waters.

Xiaoyue saw this steel fleet and the completely different mental state of the soldiers.

Xiaoyue and Yin Pan'er exchanged a glance.

They finally understood why Lucius Golux showed some fear when he heard about Lannister Rambo's army.

When Yin Pan'er looked at these troops, she was struck by their spirit and energy, something she had only seen in the crew-cut soldiers of the Northern Desert Prince's Palace under Xiao Ce over the years.

Moreover, it was clear that these soldiers had become much more experienced.

You can tell a lot from their formation.

They also have their naval equipment.

At this moment, Lannister Rambo was already waiting aboard the Lannister flagship.

He saw Lucius Gollux open his arms: "Lucius! The last time I saw you, you were just a naked child..."

Lannister Rambo gave Lucius Gollum a very warm hug.

Yin Pan'er was now sizing up the leader of this Lannister navy.

Lannister Rambo was a burly man, clad in armor crafted from fine steel and adorned with gold thread depicting naval warships in the shape of ocean waves. His face was resolute, with a high, prominent nose. His deep blue eyes were sharp and penetrating, seemingly able to see everything beneath the sea. His golden hair was tied back, with a few strands falling across his cheeks, complemented by a neatly trimmed golden beard, giving him an air of wildness. However, the weathered skin on his face revealed him to be a general who had trained alongside his soldiers.

Lucius Golux responded warmly, "Uncle Rambo, it's an honor to meet you! My father asked me to convey your greetings."

Lannister Rambo laughed heartily a few times. "Yes, your father and I are old friends. However, I've been fighting for Britain all these years and haven't had the chance to ask how he is doing. Is he still in good health?"

Lucius Golux nodded.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yin Pan'er gained some understanding and opinions about this Lannister Rambo.

This Lannister Rambo appears wild and unrestrained, but this is merely a disguise for the man.

Yin Pan'er noticed that when he spoke, his eyes were constantly scrutinizing her, and his words were always carefully considered. He always managed to keep the conversation under control.

And when he is in an upwind position, the person in an downwind position will not feel uncomfortable.

This is very difficult to do.

Xiao Ce had taught Yin Pan'er that one should not judge a situation by a single detail.

When trying to understand someone, you can do this: based on the logic of their speech, you can deduce that they are not as wild and rough as they appear.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lannister Rambo finally turned his gaze to Yin Pan'er.

Although Lucius Golux is a generation younger than Lannister Rambo, he still has his merits in being able to lead such a large navy at such a young age.

Lucius Golux only caught a glance from Lannister Rambo.

Knowing what he was thinking, Lucius Golux introduced, "Lord Rambo, this is the Illuminati's agent in East Asia. Her name is Yin Pan'er, Ms. Yin."

Lannister Rambo, despite his arrogance in private.

However, at this moment, Lannister Rambo did not show any negligence; instead, he looked surprised.

First, he was surprised that the Illuminati's representative was a woman, and second, that she was so young, looking no more than twenty years old.

"Ms. Yin... I didn't expect you to be so young. Welcome, welcome!"

"This time, we're here to avenge you, and then to take back what you've lost! Just you wait and see."

Lannister Rambo was quite enthusiastic, but his movements were disciplined and he didn't overstep any boundaries.

The reason is none other than Yin Pan'er's identity.

The agents of the Illuminati are completely different from the representatives of various countries.

Yin Pan'er was also very polite: "Thank you very much, Lord Lanbo. If you deal with them this time, the guild leader will definitely reward you handsomely."

Lannister Rambo smiled and nodded: "Don't worry! This time, I will definitely take care of them completely for you, leaving you with no worries!"

Although Lannister Rambo tried his best to suppress his pride, his sense of superiority was still easily discernible in his words.

However, listening to Lannister Rambo's boastful achievements, he certainly has reason to boast.

Lannister Rambo said that he actually witnessed real reform and change; their previous navy was still an old navy, consisting of wooden ships.

He experienced the entire naval reform and confidently said that he had fought nearly a thousand naval battles, large and small, and had never been defeated, not counting those he deliberately feigned defeats.

Undefeated in a thousand battles!

And as he said this, Lucius Golux nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration, without a trace of mockery.

You could tell from his eyes that he wasn't exaggerating.

Yin Pan'er almost reflexively thought of Xiao Ce.

In other words, Xiao Ce wasn't there. If Xiao Ce were there...

Yin Pan'er immediately shook her head, even if it was Xiao Ce, it would be very difficult for him to win.

After all, their allied forces brought nearly 500,000 naval troops to this battle, and their warships were several generations more advanced than those that had previously supported Fusang.

Their tactics also reflect the experience of a seasoned navy.

These advantages are probably not enough for Xiao Ce to maintain.

She still didn't quite understand why the mad Taoist priest had sent him to contact the Illuminati and come here, saying he was there to help their Western naval coalition.

???

Given this situation, Yin Pan'er really couldn't figure out how they could lose the war.

However, she did it to convince the mad Taoist priest.

We had no choice but to do it.

While Lannister Rambo and Yin Pan'er were talking, the generals of the other two countries, Rust Karl and Marcus Aurelius, arrived by shuttle boat.

Lannister Rambo showed them no disrespect and received them with great enthusiasm, without displaying any arrogance.
