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

Because after they set off, they originally intended to go directly there, but while crossing, they suddenly discovered those advanced fleets of ships anchored there.

When Xiao Ce first saw it, he was quite startled, because the size of this fleet was in no way inferior to the navy of the previous allied forces.

He was surprised that reinforcements had arrived so quickly, but after observing for a while, they realized that the fleet was not coming for them.

Moreover, they only found out when their people launched some solo hot air balloons to investigate.

That must be the Illuminati fleet.

Seeing this scene was actually quite unexpected for Xiao Ce.

They thought that the fleets they had destroyed were their entire fortune.

However, upon seeing the Illuminati's fleet, which was in no way inferior to their combined fleet, Xiao Ce realized that he had been overthinking things.

The depth and resources of these Western powers exceeded his imagination.

Xiao Ce was now determined to go to the West and cause chaos there; he couldn't let them unite as one.

We must disrupt them...

Their fleet, though their target was not large.

However, they decided to be on the safe side and not go over there, since they would inevitably face trouble if they were arrested.

Moreover, according to their calculations, they must maintain these distances to ensure their safety, given their sailing speed.

The reason is simple: their ships travel at extremely high speeds.

So they waited at a distance, and then arranged some scout ships ahead.

Whenever something seems amiss, they receive a signal and turn to run.

Therefore, these days are their most leisurely time.

Da Lei and Ye Mao were busy sea fishing on the boat, and every time they caught a fish, they would come to Xiao Ce.

The reason is simple: Xiao Ce is an excellent fish griller...

That's why Xiao Ce assumed Da Lei was there to grill fish when he saw him coming.

Da Lei chuckled, then waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, it wasn't grilled fish...it's that they ran away..."

Xiao Ce was stunned after hearing Da Lei's words: "They ran away?"

Da Lei nodded: "That's right, and they left at full speed... they're already out of sight..."

Xiao Ce chuckled wryly, "Oh? They ran so fast! Then aren't they redundant? What was their purpose in coming here?"

Da Lei shook his head and said, "They probably came here to divide up the territory. After all, with such a powerful fleet, they were sure to win. Who would have thought they would lose like this? Moreover, they don't seem to know that our hot air balloons were destroyed... In that case, they wouldn't dare to come here rashly without absolute certainty."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, but I underestimated them because I thought they wouldn't be able to launch an attack within a year... Have you informed Wei Wuji and the others about the situation here?"

Boudica, who had just arrived, heard Xiao Ce's words and quickly replied, "Your Highness, we have already informed General Wei and his men of the situation here, and they have received it... and indicated that they will conduct routine patrols..."

After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce smiled at him and then said, "You also know that they escaped?"

Boudica nodded: "Your Highness, shall we set sail now?"

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile: "Of course, they've delayed us for far too long... Tell our warships to all set sail..."

Boudica nodded and went to give the order.

Although the warships were now in motion, Xiao Ce continued to live a leisurely life.

Xiao Ce didn't know if this was the will of Heaven.

If it were based on his previous seasickness, he wouldn't dare to do this.

After the fleet had been sailing for a week, he made a significant discovery.

Previously, in that sea area of ​​East Asia, you could only occasionally see a few ships.

However, once the fleet entered the western waters, most of the ships on board were cargo ships.

These cargo ships would also signal to each other to confirm their identities.

Fortunately, Boudica had spent a long time at sea with a captain and was very familiar with these things.

They stopped briefly in the Roman Empire.

I had assumed the Roman Empire would be incredibly advanced, but it turned out to be quite different from what I had imagined.

According to some of the Western crew members who accompanied them, what they had advanced was only a portion of the city and some of its industries.

The situation is similar for most ordinary people; the rich and the poor in the West are not even in the same country.

...

After a brief stop in the Roman Empire, they were preparing to depart for the British Empire, the first stop on Xiao Ce's itinerary.

The entire port was sealed off.

Boudica rushed over and reported to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, it is said that they are holding a summit meeting in the international waters of several countries. This meeting will last for three to seven days. During these seven days, for security reasons, only their warships with witnesses are allowed to operate in the international waters. No other ships are allowed to pass through."

"The port staff here have already warned that anyone who trespasses into those restricted waters will certainly be sunk..."

After listening to Boudica's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It seems that news of the crushing defeat in East Asia has also reached us."

Boudica looked surprised when Xiao Ce said this, and asked him, "Your Highness, how did you know? Could it be that you have connections here? Do you have your own spies?"

Seeing Boudica's surprised expression, Xiao Ce smiled helplessly and quickly waved his hand, saying, "You're overthinking it... This is truly my first time setting foot in this sea area, how could I possibly have any informants here..."

"Just a guess... It's not hard to guess. After all, the Illuminati's massive fleet returned around the same time as us, they were a bit faster... Calculating the time, it should be about the same. Such a crushing defeat is something these invincible Westerners would find hard to accept..."

Boudica listened and nodded.

In fact, Xiao Ce's guess was entirely correct.

Not far from them, in the sea, the members of the Illuminati were also holding a meeting and had removed their leader from office.

This included Yin Pan'er, the naval forces of the four nations, and their representatives, all of whom were imprisoned by their allied members and subsequently interrogated separately.

After all, such a crushing defeat, even though it was spread across four countries and resulted in a total of 500,000 deaths, is not a terrifying thing when divided among them.

But for them, it's not that the deaths of these people are unacceptable.

Rather, they have always been invincible, and this crushing defeat is even more difficult for them to accept.

They naturally accepted the information and advice given by Yin Pan'er and the others.

In general, the president of the Illuminati has a great deal of power.

However, when those members join forces, the president's power becomes virtually zero...

Now, these members have received the news.

Whether it's true or not, the crushing defeat is real, and the information given by the representatives is also true.

The news, especially about Lannister Rambo, convinced them even more.

After all, General Lannister Rambo's tactics and military exploits were renowned...

There was a consensus among them that their country's generals were likely to betray them.

But Lannister Rambo would not betray, for he had many honors to his name.

He has no need to betray; he can simply ask for what he wants.

These members of the Illuminati can all be given to him.

Since there was no reason for betrayal, Lannister Rambo was invincible in their eyes.

Aside from being betrayed...

Therefore, they naturally accepted Yin Pan'er's explanation.

Of course, none of these members are fools...

At this moment, they all gathered together, and no one spoke.

After all, they were waiting for the results of a joint review committee.

The investigation has been going on for a day and a night, and there should be a result today.

It wasn't until nightfall that this continued.

The door to their conference room was opened, and everyone's eyes turned to them.

An elderly white man with white hair and an upright appearance stood at the door.

At this moment, all the members of the Illuminati looked over.

"Your Honor, how's it going? Any news?"
