Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 259 The Human Coalition Exists in Name Only
"Parker, what happened?"

Li En pushed the door open a crack, and without inviting Parker in, he asked him directly why he came.

Parker frowned. Judging from his expression, something must have happened at the base, and it might not be a small matter.

"Those reckless guys from the Burns Empire actually went out to sea this morning to attack the Azure Dragon Court."

Li En was not too surprised when he heard what Parker said.

Although Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall have already instructed the Holy Empire Fleet that this is a protracted war and asked everyone not to act rashly, they should first test the depth of the Azure Dragon Courtyard and then deploy plans to conquer the Azure Dragon Courtyard step by step.

But after these attempts, the Canglong Empire has always shown the illusion that its guarding force is weak, and they can march straight in, and even capture prisoners at will.

The first time, Duke McCoy was still very vigilant, thinking it was a trap set by the Canglong Empire, but the same thing happened the second, third, and fourth time.

The human coalition even built a floating island pseudo base outside the base. During the third exploration, they captured prisoners on the pseudo base, hoping to lure the enemy into attacking the pseudo base. However, no dragon army attacked.

Duke McCoy finally couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to go to the Blue Dragon Court in person to see for himself, and took Burns' large army to attack the Blue Dragon Court.

Although the two countries are allied forces, the supreme command of the Burns Empire is still in the hands of Duke McCoy.

At most, he would listen to the advice of Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall.

Of course, Earl Hall was firmly opposed to this. He had two experiences of fighting against the Azure Dragon Court and had clearly told Duke McCoy how powerful the Asian Dragon Army was.

Grand Duke Moria's attitude was acquiescence. After four attempts without any real results, he had no choice but to send a real army as the vanguard.

Letting the Burns Empire's navy go will result in less losses than letting one's own country's army go.

It was precisely because of the different attitudes of the two that Duke McCoy made up his mind to go to war.

If both were against it, or both were in favor of it, Duke McCoy would be hesitant.

"I remember you said, brother, that every soldier in the Asian Dragon Army is as good as a five-star knight. How could they possibly win?"

"The results of the last four expeditions have created a psychological misunderstanding among them. Not only the Burns people, but even our navy has begun to waver."

In the last expedition, the Holy Empire Navy did not actually fight against the real Azure Dragon Court's sub-dragon army, so they did not know how terrifying the sub-dragon army was.

The Imperial Navy had been looking forward to fighting them on this expedition, but they had been left alone in the base, and everyone had some complaints.

In addition, the results of the four explorations were consistent, which made everyone relax their vigilance.

More importantly, the captives who were captured and brought back to the pseudo-base revealed under torture that the Azure Dragon Court had previously suffered a disaster, which resulted in the death of the guardian dragon, the annihilation of the sub-dragon army, and the death of the Azure Dragon King. The one in power now is the Azure Dragon King's youngest daughter, and the new Azure Dragon Army was also temporarily formed and did not have the combat power of the old sub-dragon army at all.

This explains why all four explorations were so easy.

Because the Azure Dragon Court has suffered a catastrophe and is now in a period of weakness.

How could the Burns Empire miss this opportunity.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

You have to be one of the first to arrive on the island and be the first to try it.

Duke McCoy also knew about the Azure Dragon Whip. This thing was better in the hands of one's own country than in the hands of a neighboring country.

Although the two major empires in the southern continent are still in the honeymoon period, everyone wants to unify the entire continent, and obtaining this gift means half of the success.

Li En walked out of the room and closed the door, "Go see what Grandpa is doing."

"kindness."

Parker nodded.

Li En and Parker walked through the dormitory area of ​​the base and looked at the Imperial Navy who were still training.

They were all a little absent-minded at this time, looking towards the sea from time to time.

Li En even heard some people whispering, "Why let the Burns Empire get there first? Why can't we attack the Azure Dragon Court ourselves? How long should we stay at the base?"

"The Glacier Base is ours, the fake base was our idea, and we also jointly reviewed the intelligence. How could it be allowed to benefit the Burns people? After they land on the island, what will we have left? By then, the Azure Dragon Court will have hoisted the Burns Empire flag. How will we face His Majesty the Emperor when we return?"

In the supreme command room, Count Yar Frank was questioning Grand Duke Moria.

Grand Duke Moria quietly looked at the complete map of the Blue Dragon Garden on the wall.

This is also the result of four explorations. The exploration team entered the empty land as if in an empty place, and basically drew a rough map of the Canglong Courtyard.

Grand Duke Moria looked at Earl Hall,
"Hall, is it the same as you remember?"

"kindness."

Earl Hall nodded. He thought there was no problem with this map.

"Are you even listening to me?"

Count Yar Frank was furious.

He wanted to lead the Flame Knights to attack alone, and the fleet was ready to set off, but was stopped by Hall and his men.

Lord Sam Isaacson also expressed his incomprehension.
"Hall, why do you seem like a different person this time? You weren't this timid before. Could it be that you've been influenced by the Prime Minister? After all, the Prime Minister has been in Yalong City for so long that he probably doesn't remember what war is really like."

Tina knocked on the door and reported,

"His Excellency Li En Moriah requests an audience."

Since the emperor was not in the expedition, everyone gradually changed back to their original name, leaving the Simon pseudonym in name only.

"Let him in."

Grand Duke Moria said lightly.

Li En and Parker walked into the command room.

At the door they could already hear the quarrel between several important figures.

Earls Sam Isaacson and Yar Frank believed that the imperial army should march together with the Burns Empire and even seize the initiative.

However, Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall believed that the army could not attack, as this was still a trap set by the Blue Dragon Court.

"Li En, you've arrived just in time. I heard that your talent for map drawing is even better than that of the surveyors in the army. Come and take a look at this map to see if there's anything that needs to be improved."

Grand Duke Moria waved his hand and called Li En over.

Parker knew all the important people present. After greeting them one by one, he followed his brother to the map.

Most of the time, Parker displays the confidence and composure of a second-generation aristocrat, a quality he has cultivated since childhood, except when facing beautiful women.

Because of this, before Lee En appeared, Parker was often teased by his aunt and her girlfriends at home.

Li En looked at the map of the Azure Dragon Court on the wall and said,

"I don't see any problem with that."

This sentence is almost equivalent to saying that there is no problem with the map.

"Look, the intelligence we received is all true. I don't know what you're afraid of, Prime Minister. Why don't you give me the supreme command and let me make the decision."

Count Al Frank slammed the table and stood up.

Grand Duke Moria glanced at him indifferently, and the arrogant old aristocrat Count Yar Frank fell silent and sat back on the soft sofa.

"Lean, Parker, do you also think the army should attack?"

Moriah looked at his two grandsons.

Li En asked Parker to speak first. Parker's Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed his saliva, stood up straight, and said seriously,
"It shouldn't be!"

"why?"

Grand Duke Moria asked.

Parker said, "It is a soldier's duty to obey the orders of his superiors. Since the Supreme Commander says we cannot attack, then we cannot attack."

"Very good, this is a truth that even teenagers know, but you don't know it."

Grand Duke Moria glanced back at the two earls and said, "If you intend to commit treason and surrender to Burns, then you must take your knights and get out of my fleet. You will not receive any honors, and all that awaits you is a military trial and imprisonment."

Lord Sam Isaacson immediately put on a smile and said flatteringly,
"Your Excellency, this is too serious. The Isaacson family will never commit treason. Your decision is our decision."

"Stilts."

Count Yair Frank looked at Count Sam Isaacson with disdain and spat.

He couldn't even stand this level of intimidation, and he was just another good-for-nothing who inherited the title by relying on the protection of his ancestors.

Earl Sam Isaacson lowered his head silently and took a puff of his cigar.

He silently cursed all the old men in the command room in his heart.

Did Yar think he was willing to be so cowardly? Sandwiched between the three Creed families, what confidence did the Isaacson family have to confront them head-on?

These three families basically have top-tier warriors, with the weakest being a six-star knight. What does the Isaacson family have? Only honor.

If their family could also produce a seven-star order knight, there would be no need to worry about not having a say in this supreme meeting.

Count Yar Frank said angrily to Grand Duke Moria,

"Prime Minister, don't go too far. I am the Earl of the Frank family."

"Oh, then why am I the one with the supreme command, and not you?"

Grand Duke Moria asked.

Count Yar Frank was speechless for a moment, his old face flushed red.

He also knew that his nephew was very suspicious and would rather use outsiders than family members.

In fact, this is mainly related to Mary.

The family knew that Mary had rebellious intentions towards Augustus, but they did nothing to deal with it and let Mary do whatever she wanted.

Auguras has a deep-seated grudge, which has led to the current situation.

In both expeditions, the supreme leader was not from the Frank family.

"Uncle Yar, Uncle Sam also wants to maximize the interests of the empire. His starting point is good. Grandpa, please don't be angry."

Li En smiled and acted as a peacemaker. "Uncle Yar's Knights of Flame have made great achievements in the Empire, but the army and navy are different after all. We still need to listen to Uncle Hall's opinion."

Count Yar Frank nodded slightly, found the stairs, and walked down naturally.

At the same time, his favorable impression of Li En increased a little bit.

"Hall, I really should communicate with you more."

Lord Hall nodded.

"Li En, you haven't told me your opinion on the Burns Empire's voyage."

"If 5000 people go out together and 100 can come back, that's already an optimistic number."

Li En said.

Hearing what Li En said, Count Yar Frank and Count Sam Isaacson couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, do you know what you're talking about? Have you seen Burns' latest weapon? That's the latest mechanical armor. An ordinary person equipped with it can defeat a three-star knight, and a three-star knight can even use it to defeat a five-star knight. And the cannonballs on the Mayflower and Juneflower are wind-energy cannons that are as powerful as magic cannons."

Count Yair Frank said.

Yar believed that if there were more people in the command room now, Li En would be ridiculed even more.

Li En didn't mind the laughter of the two earls. He picked up the black tea on Grand Duke Moria's table and poured himself a cup.

"If this is the case, do you think we need to provide support?"

Grand Duke Moria continued to ask.

"Duke McCoy is capable of returning on his own, but it's hard to say about his subordinates. We can provide support, but we can't go deep into the Azure Dragon Court. We can only rescue them here."

Li En picked up the teacup, walked to the map, and drew a circle on it.

"Shallow Bay. Our troops can only reach this far and cannot go any deeper. We must rescue as many people as possible."

Li En determined that this was a trap and did not want the Holy Empire's army to go in and die, but if they could rescue some people, it would be a contribution to the coalition forces.

"Okay, then who do you think is the best person to be assigned to this rescue mission?"

Grand Duke Moria continued to ask.

"Grandpa, I'm willing to go."

Parker immediately volunteered.

"Let me and my Flame Knights do it. Parker is too young."

Count Yair Frank said.

Comparing Parker with Count Yair Frank, it is certain that the latter has more experience.

Count Yar Frank did not really want to go to the rescue, but he himself did not believe Li En's words. He wanted to attack the Blue Dragon Court together with the Burns Empire army. Even if they arrived later, at least they could occupy some places. Then he would take the credit, at least on the Holy Empire's side.

Otherwise, how could Count Yar Frank go to the battle in person?

Earl Sam Isaacson cursed the old fox in his heart, and then said,

"Why would an elite group like the Flame Knights be needed for this kind of rescue mission? Why not leave it to the Pioneer Knights?"

"Your Pioneer Knights are just a bunch of ragtag knights. They probably can't even complete a rescue mission, right? This isn't just a rescue mission; it also represents the strength of our Imperial Fleet. No knight order is more suitable than the Flame Knights."

"Oh, Earl Ar, you're not afraid of biting your tongue when you say that. The Pioneer Knights are elite knights sent by various lords. Why can't they represent the Empire?"

"You two, a rescue mission is not..."

Before Parker could finish his words, he was angrily attacked by the two earls.
"Shut up."

Parker lowered his head helplessly. He was too young to have the right to interrupt.

Grand Duke Moria could naturally see what the two men were thinking. They wanted to lead the Knights to encounter a wall.

With the sound of Grand Duke Moria placing the teacup on the table, the quarrel in the command room stopped.

"Hall, what do you think?"

"Let the Rose Knights go to the rescue. They are most familiar with the ocean."

Earl Hall said lightly.

"no!"

The other two earls spoke in unison. Although neither of them wanted to give in to the other, this time they shared a common hatred for the enemy, just like when they stopped Parker from going to the rescue.

Li En couldn't help but find it a little funny. These two old men were determined to go to the Canglong Court to pick up some bargains.

However, if they do as they say, they shouldn't encounter any danger.

"In that case, let the Flame Knights go."

"I still think so."

Count Hall wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Grand Duke Moria, "Yar, go and make preparations."

Count Yar Frank looked excited, he felt that he had won this time.

This time, the Flame Knights will become the heroes of the Holy Empire's conquest of the Azure Dragon Court. Perhaps there is no need for other knight orders and the navy to intervene, and they can take all the credit.

Earl Sam Isaacson felt a little regretful after his defeat, but his Pioneer Knights were indeed no match for the Flame Knights. He could only sigh and leave the supreme command room.

"Prime Minister, I will go and prepare."

Count Yar Frank twisted his neck and felt that it was time to regain his strength after his old arms and legs.

Parker watched the two earls leave, then he mustered up the courage to ask Grand Duke Moria,
"Grandpa, you clearly knew they wouldn't listen to my brother and stay in the shallow bay. They might just attack directly and compete with the people of the Burns Empire. They wouldn't do any rescue at all. Why did you send them instead of me?"

"Parker, you're too young."

"But this is a rescue mission, not a major charge."

"No, rescue missions are often more important than charging into battle."

Grand Duke Moria said this, patting Parker on the shoulder.

There was a flicker of resentment in Parker's eyes.

"Li En, what's going on with your Knights of the Dawn? Why are you suddenly expanding and poaching people from other knight orders and churches? Now the leaders of other knights have complained to me."

Grand Duke Moria turned around and looked at Li En who was drinking tea.

Unlike Parker, Lee En was very calm and had little interest in participating in the rescue mission.

It’s no wonder that Li En is not interested. He has seen from the attitudes of Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall that this matter itself is a trap.

The two men wanted to use this to weaken the power of the Frank family in the military.

"You asked me to investigate the witches' treason before, and I have the answer. It's related to the Pope. The witches were acting on his orders and wanted to assassinate me. The people I recruited were all spies planted by the Pope in the army. I turned them all into blood servants and resolved the crisis. As for the witches, I plan to bring them back to the capital and have them identify the Pope's crimes."

Li En spoke frankly.

"The witches are controlled by Randall?"

Hall frowned.

He knew that Randall didn't like Li En, but he didn't expect that Randall would send the witches to assassinate Li En.

"Yes, Uncle Hall. I didn't want to tell you this, but you will know it sooner or later. The Pope is my enemy."

Li En said with a calm expression.

"If that's the case, then let your servants explain to the captain themselves, and don't let him cry to me anymore."

Grand Duke Moria said.

"Okay, Grandpa."

"Do you need to take the witches back to the capital now and resolve this matter?"

Grand Duke Moria continued to ask.

Li En shook his head. "It's too difficult to get the witches to identify Randall. I still need some time, and the expedition isn't over yet."

"Well. It seems you have made some arrangements in the capital."

Grand Duke Moria was very pleased to see his grandson growing up.

"Hall, bring Dorothy and have dinner together."

Grand Duke Moria was in a good mood.

Earl Hall snorted coldly.
"What kind of relationship do we have? We have to sit at the same table and eat."

Although the two have achieved a certain degree of harmonious coexistence, they still cannot sit down and eat together in peace due to their political differences over the years.

Unless Li En and Dorothy get married.

Earl Hall left the command room to look for his daughter.

He only wanted to eat with his precious daughter and his lovely grandson Alexander, and didn't want to see the three golden retrievers of the Moria family.

But he only found Alexander in Dorothy's room, which was very frustrating.

"Where's Dorothy?"

"Mom? Mom didn't come home last night. She must have been with Dad."

Alexander spoke without restraint and inadvertently betrayed his mother.

Lord Hall's face turned pale, then red, and then red, then black.

The delicious cabbages in your own garden were eaten by pigs in advance?
Just as Grand Duke Moria was enjoying breakfast with his two grandsons.

Count Yar Frank took the members of the Flame Knights out to sea on a warship.

The coast was surrounded by envious navy.

They also wanted to go out to sea to fight, but Grand Duke Moria only allowed the Flame Knights to go. What did this mean?
Don’t you want them to compete with the royal family for the attack?
I feel both unwilling and jealous in my heart.

Count Yar Frank stood at the bow in high spirits, laughing heartily at the group of jealous guys on the shore, especially when he thought of the two sullen old faces of Count Hall and Count Sam.

"Hahaha, it feels so good, so good! Those two old guys, Sam and Hall, have already lost to me."

"Uncle Yar, are we really going to rescue?"

Franz Austin Frank, deputy commander of the Flame Knights, asked.

He is a branch of the Frank family, and because he is quite outstanding, people privately call Yar Frank uncle.

"Heh, rescue, only a fool would rescue those people from the Burns Empire. We are here to grab military merit."

"understood."

Franz raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Calvin, the leader of the Flame Knights, was not as optimistic as the uncle and nephew. He reminded them,

"My Lord, although our Knights of Flame are powerful, we have never participated in a naval battle. Wouldn't it be a bit risky to act rashly? At the very least, we need some advisors from the Knights of the Rose."

"Captain, you're being too cautious. If you let the Order of the Rose participate, will the credit go to our Frank family or the Hall family?"

Franz said.

The flag with the Frank family crest fluttered in the wind, and the warship was getting farther and farther away from the coast.

The knights on the battleship were all eager to show their skills in the Blue Dragon Court.

When they followed the designated route and arrived at the bay in front of the Blue Dragon Courtyard, the sunset in the sky had already dyed the sea level golden.

In the golden sunlight, the Canglong Courtyard seems to be emitting an alluring golden color, representing countless opportunities and wealth.

The knights were shocked by the natural beauty and looked forward to achieving great things.

"anchor."

The captain gave the order.

The sailors dropped anchor and moored the warship in the shallow bay.

They will land here.

……

Night fell over the glacier base.

Damir is teaching Li En and Dorothy the magic circle.

Although he is not a special believer, he has solid theoretical knowledge. Not only is he familiar with the formations that special believers need to master, but he is also familiar with the knowledge that golden believers need to master.

He can be said to be a true theorist.

Parker appears again, disrupting Damir's classroom discipline.

"Brother, the Flame Knights, the Flame Knights are back."

Parker was running out of breath.

Damir frowned.

He disliked this reckless young nobleman very much.

"Could you please stop interrupting my class, Parker Moriah?"

"I'm sorry, Archbishop Damir."

Parker looked apologetic, but he had a lot to say, and if he didn't say it, he would probably get sick.

Damir sighed, and seeing that Li En had no intention of continuing to draw the formation diagram, he said to Li En, "Leave get out of class early today, and make up for it at this time tomorrow."

"Okay, okay."

Li En is quick to follow advice.

Archbishop Damir adjusted his sleeves and left with the servant of God.

Parker walked into the temporary classroom and saw Dorothy, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

"It doesn't matter, she's one of us."

Li En's words have a profound meaning.

Parker didn't think much about it and said directly,
"A total of 2000 people went out, and in the end only Count Yar, Captain Calvin, Deputy Captain Franz, and five knight commanders returned. Eight people returned, and the rest died. It was tragic, really tragic. They even abandoned the Frank and escaped in a small boat."

This was within Li En's expectations.

After all, although the current Yalong Army is certainly not as numerous as before, its quality is much higher.

Without a six-star knight, coming back alive depends entirely on luck.

"Where's the Burns? Are they back?"

Lee En asked.

"They're back too. They came back together and are still arguing with each other. Duke McCoy said that if it weren't for that idiot Yar, they would have returned with at least 100 elite soldiers, but now there are less than 30."

Parker swallowed his saliva, picked up Li En's water cup, gulped down the ice water, and continued,

"If you go there now, you can still see the two of them arguing with each other."

This kind of excitement is really worth watching.

Li En raised an eyebrow at Dorothy.

Dorothy nodded.

The two walked out of the classroom together.

"Ah, wait for me."

Parker gave chase.

Nina Owen, Lee En's maid, also followed.

On the shallows, two remnant armies were arguing with each other. If it weren't for the clergy who were in between to check the physical condition of the wounded, they would have been able to fight again.

After seeing this scene, the navy officers who stayed at the base camp no longer dared to question the judgment of Grand Duke Moria.

The Canglong Courtyard is indeed extremely dangerous.

Li En roughly understood that after Count Yar discovered that the Azure Dragon Court was a trap, he wanted to escape with a large army to deceive Duke McCoy, saying that the Holy Empire's military support would arrive soon and asked them to hold on a little longer.

As a result, he turned around and ran, causing Duke McCoy, who was originally planning to retreat, to lose another group of his men.

The troops were clamoring and talking among themselves.

It was not until Earl Hall showed up that these spectators returned to their camps.

Earl Hall stopped the quarrel between Duke McCoy and Earl Yar and brought them back to the highest command center.

Lee En, Dorothy, Parker, and Nina Owen also followed.

Because of their special status, they can eat melons nearby.

But when they arrived at the door of the command room, they were stopped by Tina.

The door was closed, and Li En could only extend his vision through his keen hearing.

Earl Yar lost almost the entire Knights of Flame and was extremely depressed. He now regretted it so much that he only regretted not listening to Grand Duke Moria and why he didn't wait in the shallow bay.

He also regretted taking on this rescue mission. In the end, not only did he not save the person, but he also lost his life.

There are 2 Knights of Flame, but only 2000 elite soldiers follow the expedition. This time, it was a huge blow to Count Yar.

This is also why, in the previous four exploration missions, Earl Hall sent a combined team, with a knight group pulling out some people to participate in the mission, for fear of causing the whole group to be wiped out.

But Count Arles did not learn from experience at all, was greedy for quick success and was reckless, only wanting to take on the work himself, so he only used his own people.

As a result, they fell into a trap and all the dead were their own people.

Duke McCoy became even angrier. Not only did the Holy Empire not come to rescue him, but it also tried to trip him up. What kind of alliance was this?
If Duke McCoy had not left 1000 men to guard the base, the Burns Empire would have been completely destroyed.

Don’t fight this battle anymore, just go back home.

Earl Sam looked at the miserable condition of Earl Yar and couldn't help but feel a little gloating, and was glad that he did not take on the rescue mission.

Only Grand Duke Moria, Earl Hall, Duke McCoy, Earl Yar and Earl Sam were left in the supreme command room.

The composition of the Burns Empire is not as complicated as that of the Holy Empire. Without the seven creed families, there are not so many earls. Below Duke McCoy, almost all of them are viscounts and barons.

In addition, in this attack, all the viscounts and barons who followed Duke McCoy died, leaving only about twenty members of the Knights, so it seemed that Duke McCoy was surrounded by the dignitaries of the Holy Empire.

Duke McCoy said angrily,

"You must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise the alliance between Burns and the Holy Empire will not continue."

"McCoy, don't be so excited. Before you left for the expedition, we tried our best to dissuade you, but you insisted on having your own way. How can you blame us now?"

Lord Hall said.

Count Arles nodded and cursed even more angrily,

"Damn you Burns people, did we tell you to die? If you hadn't insisted on attacking the Azure Dragon Court, my Flame Knights wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses."

"You are a disgrace to the Holy Empire. You treacherous bastards! Return all the ships built by our Burns Empire craftsmen!"

Duke McCoy cursed.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Grand Duke Moria coughed lightly.

"Okay, that's enough."

Grand Duke Moria looked at Earl Yar sternly.

"Yar Frank, I asked you to support Duke McCoy. Why did you take the initiative and attack the Azure Dragon Court?"

"I…."

Count Ar was speechless for a moment and lowered his head.

"Yar Frank, you disobeyed military orders and destroyed the friendly alliance between our two countries. This is treason. You are dismissed from your post and await your court-martial. Come, take him away."

Grand Duke Moria said coldly.

"No, you can't do this to me. I'm from the Frank family."

Count Yar said angrily, but he was still taken away by Grand Duke Moria's guard knights and imprisoned in the dungeon, right next to the witches.

Afterwards, Count Ar's subordinates were also imprisoned in the cell to keep Count Ar company.

Calvin, the leader of the Flame Knights, never imagined that he would become a prisoner.

Seeing what Grand Duke Moria did, Duke McCoy's anger eased a little.

"Molia, even if you do this, we Burns will not forgive you. This war is meaningless to me. I will report the situation here to our great Emperor. If you still care about our alliance, please let us use the portal once. We want to go back."

Duke McCoy said, "If you want to completely tear each other apart, then we will take a ship, cross the ocean, and return home."

"McCoy, you can use the portal anytime you want, but are you sure you want to go back this way?"

"We still have 1000 men left, but if we continue to fight the Azure Dragon Court, we will be wiped out. Why don't we return?"

Duke McCoy demanded.

Obviously, he had been shocked by the true strength of the Azure Dragon Court.

They believe that it is impossible for humans to defeat them.

"Okay, the portal needs to be prepared. You should rest for a day. After a day, it can be used."

Grand Duke Moria agreed.

"kindness."

Duke McCoy turned to leave, and when he pushed open the door, he saw Lee En and Dorothy.

He frowned, sighed, and strode forward.

It seems that this battle has destroyed the fighting spirit of the Burns Empire.

This is good news for Li En.

Duke McCoy is also a talented person. Knowing that his allies are unreliable, he doesn't want to continue wasting time.

Count Ar deserves credit for this wave of treason. Duke McCoy might even order his army to harass the borders of the Holy Empire when he returns.

The best solution is actually to prevent Duke McCoy from returning home, trap him in the base, or kill him.

Reducing one enemy can also maintain the alliance between the two countries.

However, Grand Duke Moria has his own considerations.

For the sake of Li En and his family's interests, he decided to let Duke McCoy go back.

Duke McCoy originally thought that he might be assassinated by the Holy Empire, but he was not.

One day later, Duke McCoy and the remaining Burns Imperial Army returned on the Mayflower.

The human coalition existed in name only, with only the Holy Empire fleet still holding on to the glacier base.

News of Yar Frank's crimes soon reached the country, but the Frank family suppressed the news and did not let the general public know.

The Frank family still considered Al Frank a criminal, and even though his daughter was Zenobia Frank, it could not change this fact.

After Yar Frank returns to the capital, the command of the Flame Knights will definitely be taken back, and his position as count will also be lost.

Now Zenobia is worried about whether her father Yar can survive.

A week ago, Zenobia could still confidently save her father, Ar, because Augustus was obsessed with her beauty, but now the situation is completely different.

In recent times, the relationship between Augustus and Mona Isaacson has progressed rapidly. The two are still in an ambiguous friendship at any time, but Augustus actually directly shut out Zenobia and her sister because of Mona Isaacson.

Augustus didn't want Mona Isaacson to know that he had an improper relationship with his cousin, so he began to keep himself clean.

Zenobia had to come up with some extreme ways to see Augustus.

For example, a party was held openly in the castle, and many princes and nobles were involved.

Before Augustus brought Zenobia back to her bedroom, she was surrounded by at least seven or eight nobles.

This made Auglas quite angry.

"Zenobia, what are you doing? Have you forgotten who you are?"

Auguras closed the door and threw Zenobia directly onto the bed.

"What identity?"

Zenobia looked at Augulas with drunken eyes. "Is she the imperial princess who is about to be married, the emperor's mistress, or the daughter of Count Ar?"

"If you're doing this because of Count Arles, there's no need for that. He made a mistake himself and should be punished."

Auguras grasped Zenobia's chin.

"Are you really going to be so heartless? He's your uncle."

Zenobia said.

"The Frank family doesn't need useless people. He's been in this position for too long, and his brain has been corroded."

The more Augustus looked at Zenobia's delicate face, the angrier he became.

“Augustus, don’t forget, if it weren’t for my father.”

Augustus bit Zenobia's lip, stopping her from speaking any further.

During this week, Augustus restrained himself from approaching Zenobia, but the two met again. Even though Zenobia did something very excessive, Augustus still wanted to conquer her again.

The two of them began to make love passionately, with some fierce quarrels.

When they were done, Zenobia said again, "I only want my father to live."

"it is good."

Auguras promised.

"What's the price?"

Zenobia asked.

"Don't ever appear before me again. Go to the Northern Continent."

Auglas said.

"it is good."

Zenobia agreed almost without hesitation. She picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, stood up and left, but was caught by Augulas again.

"You're just so eager to leave me."

"I just don't want to disturb you and your new love, Miss Mona Isaacson. She probably wouldn't be able to accept our relationship like this, right?"

"She and I are just friends."

"Don't fool yourself. I can feel that you treat her as a substitute for Dorothy, but this has nothing to do with me. Thank you, Augustus. I hope you will keep your promise."

For Zenobia, now is the best opportunity to let go.

Otherwise, if Augustus really fell in love with her, Zenobia would not be able to leave.

She didn't like being controlled by someone like Augulas who had a strong desire for dominance. Even if she became Augulas's lover, she would most likely lose her freedom.
