Chapter 1226 Confrontation
---------..
"No, it's my fleet, it's about to be destroyed!" At this time, Delano completely lost the unruliness he showed in front of outsiders. He was just crying in front of his father like a child who had been robbed of candy. stand up.
You know, as Delano, I have never suffered any grievances in the Kingdom of Jindu since I was a child. Even the king of Jindu Kingdom must give some face to the High Priest of Poole, otherwise he would not hand over the Fifth Fleet to Delano for command. Therefore, seeing Delano behave like this, High Priest Poole could not help but be a little surprised. He could not think of anything that could make his son feel so wronged.
"What's going on? Tell me carefully, what do you look like crying?" High Priest Poole frowned. Although his tone was a bit stern, there was some concern in his eyes.
"Father, they are those people from Qingfeng Plain. When I led the fleet to patrol outside a few days ago, I encountered their ship being attacked by pirates. I led the fleet to help them drive away the pirates. But when they were facing During their routine inspection, we were rejected by them, and the captain of the ship was a Guild President of the Twilight Tower named Feyre, and he even tried to drive us away."
Delano skillfully said things that he had slightly changed. The most important thing was to make himself sound as innocent as possible. If it were other people who knew Delano, they would definitely not believe it at this time. After all, they knew very well what Delano was like in the past.
However, regardless of the fact that Poole is Delano's father, it stands to reason that he should know his son better. But in fact what he knew. It's just another side of Delano that he has always shown in front of his father. Isn't there a saying that wives are other people's good friends, and children are all one's own? The high priest of Poole also had a son in his later years. Naturally, he always thinks about the best for his son.
Seeing that his father didn't seem to doubt what he said, Delano's timidity gradually faded away. Then he said: "Later Fox arrived and said that the people in Qingfeng Plain were guests invited by His Majesty the King. So for his sake, I didn't care about those people. However, at that time I was a little suspicious. If they There is nothing ulterior on the ship, so why are you so stubborn in refusing to inspect it?"
"So, after their ship entered the harbor, I sent people to keep an eye on their ship. Two days ago, I received a report from my subordinates. It said that a suspicious person was found on their ship, and he was probably the one offering a reward from our kingdom. A wanted criminal. I took my people there, originally wanting to negotiate with them and ask them to hand over the prisoner, or let us go in and arrest him personally."
"However, they resolutely refused to let us arrest the prisoners, and even used force to confront us. In desperation, I had no choice but to have people take control of them. Only then was it possible to search the ship, and Sure enough, I caught the prisoner. In order to investigate the relationship between the prisoner and them, I temporarily took over their ship. However, when I was about to tell the owner of the ship, President Feyre of the Twilight Tower, about this matter. They didn’t even listen to my explanation and just released a monster to go to the port to take back their ship by force.”
"Later, people from other forces in the Qingfeng Plain heard about it, and they all ran to the port, saying that they wanted to let us Jindu Kingdom know how powerful they are. Now, my fleet is fighting with them I have suffered heavy losses, and I am about to be wiped out by them. So, I just want to come to my father and ask you to make the decision for me!"
The highest state of lying is that there is truth mixed with falsehood, nine points true and one part false. Delano obviously has a deep understanding of the three tastes. Although he only made a few changes and concealed the details, he put himself on the front side of the matter. In addition, the high priest of Poole did not believe that his son would do anything extraordinary, so he naturally believed everything his son said.
Therefore, after listening to his son's story, the high priest of Poole suddenly became furious and shouted: "It's really unreasonable. We treat people with courtesy, but they really think we are afraid of them!"
"Father, please save my men!" Delano was secretly happy when he saw this, and he quickly made a sad look and begged his father again.
"Hmph, I want to see what kind of support they have to make trouble in my kingdom of Jindu!" High Priest Poole snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed his son Delano, and flew straight towards Helena Port. And go.
At this time, on the sea of Helena Port, the fifth fleet of Jindu Kingdom had only the flagship and four or five giant alchemy ships left. Those armored frigates had long been sunk into the sea or bombed into pieces. And even the remaining alchemy giant ships are already in dilapidated condition, as if they may fall apart at any time.
This was a completely one-sided battle. Although there were several legendary powerhouses in the Fifth Fleet, compared to the people in Qingfeng Plain, they were still far behind in terms of numbers and strength. What's more, there is a Devouring Lord in the sky. Even without the participation of the people from Qingfeng Plain, the strength of the Devouring Lord Gal alone is enough to destroy the entire Fifth Fleet.
The people of the Fifth Fleet were all desperate at this time. They could only watch their own warships being continuously destroyed, and watch their companions being bloody or wailing on the sea. Moreover, they couldn't even escape. It was impossible for the warship to leave the port, and leaving the warship was still a dead end.
In vain, they used the weapons on the battleships to shoot at the people in Qingfeng Plain, but the legendary strong men in Qingfeng Plain were not the giant ocean beasts with huge targets. The naval guns that are invincible on the sea are simply unable to hit those legendary strong men who are like mosquitoes. There was a good target in the sky, but they had been bombarding it continuously from the beginning until they appeared, because no matter what they fired, no matter how powerful the weapon was, they were just feeding the monster. That’s all.
However, just when the people of the Fifth Fleet were desperate to surrender, suddenly there was an extremely huge pressure in the sky, as if the sky had sunk. The air in this space suddenly solidified. Then, two very familiar figures appeared in the sky. One was Delano, the commander of their fifth fleet. The other is Poole, the high priest of the kingdom who holds a high status.
As soon as High Priest Poole appeared on the battlefield, he immediately released the huge pressure of the powerful saints, causing everyone on the battlefield to stop in an instant. There was not even a trace of ripples on the sea surface, as if time in this space had stopped.
And the most affected. Naturally, they are the legendary strong men of Qingfeng Plain. Even though their strength is as good as that of torturing the Fifth Fleet, they are just like ants in front of the strong men of the Sanctuary. Even Calderson, who was already a pseudo-saint, could not resist the pressure of High Priest Poole, a real strong man in the sanctuary, let alone others.
If Gor, the Devouring Lord, was still in the Sunwell, he might still be able to compete with High Priest Poole, a powerful man in the sanctuary. but. Its body, which had been cultivated for thousands of years and devoured countless demons and a large number of treasures from the Well of the Sun, had already been destroyed by Lin Li. Although the current body is not weak, the training time is still short after all, and it is not enough to compete with the real strong men of the sanctuary like the High Priest of Poole.
Seeing the scene at sea, Delano almost cried in public. Although his fleet had not been completely destroyed, it would be very difficult to restore its strength. The casualties among the navy soldiers were not bad. But the loss of the alchemy giant ship cannot be made up by repairs. Each giant alchemy ship is a huge asset to the Kingdom of Jindu. The losses suffered in this battle may not be recovered for decades.
The face of High Priest Poole became even more ugly at this time. Although he had heard some things from his son, the scene before him was still beyond his expectation. The Jindu Kingdom's fleet, known as the most powerful, was almost wiped out by people from Qingfeng Plain in the port. This was simply a slap in the Jindu Kingdom's face.
As a strong man in the Holy Domain, the High Priest of Poole may not care about the life and death of those ant-like warriors, or the huge losses suffered by the fleet, but he cannot help but care about the face of himself and the Kingdom of Jindu. If this matter is not handled well, he, the high priest, and the Kingdom of Jindu may become the laughing stock of everyone.
Therefore, after shocking everyone with the huge coercion, High Priest Poole immediately raised the staff in his hand, and the domain world instantly enveloped the space. Then, countless magic runes appeared in the space, like shining silver sand, sweeping towards everyone in Qingfeng Plain, intending to directly seal everyone's power.
At this time, in the embassy area of the capital of Jindu Kingdom, Lin Li was talking to several guests who came after hearing the news. These guests include Prince Jonathan of the Kingdom of Frank, Prince Jeremiah of the Kingdom of Riding, Archbishop Enroth of the Temple of Light, and High Priest Senderos of the Temple of Darkness.
These representatives of the top forces in Anriel Continent were also alarmed by the previous movements made by the legendary powerhouses in Qingfeng Plain, and then came to ask Lin Li about the situation. After all, a group of legendary powerhouses flew straight towards Helena Port with great momentum. Everyone knew that something big had happened.
In the face of everyone's inquiries, Lin Li did not hide anything and simply explained the matter very calmly, as if what he was talking about was not his own business. In fact, for a high-level Saint Realm powerhouse like him, this is indeed not a big deal.
"Master Fei Lei, do you want us to also put pressure on the Jindu Kingdom through diplomatic channels and urge them to release the Star and the sailors on the ship as soon as possible?" Prince Jonathan took the initiative to express his willingness to help Lin Li handle this matter. He couldn't imagine how far things at Henalun Port had developed now, so he wanted to take this opportunity to show his favor to Lin Li.
"Yes, Master Fei Lei, our Kingdom of Lading can also negotiate with the Kingdom of Jindu on your behalf. I believe that with our two countries coming forward, the Kingdom of Jindu will have to compromise with us no matter how tough its attitude is." Holding the same sentiment as Jonathan Thoughts, Prince Jeremiah also said immediately. The experience in the Sky City made him convinced of Lin Li, so what he thought of at this time was not to laugh at the joke, but to repair the relationship between the two parties.
However, from the bottom of their hearts, both Prince Jonathan and Prince Jeremiah, while being indignant about this matter, actually also had some secret joy. Considering the interests of the two countries, they are not willing for the Kingdom of Jindu to really extend its hands to the Qingfeng Plain. They are not willing to let the forces in the Tower of Dusk and the Qingfeng Plain get too close to the Kingdom of Jindu.
On the side of the Kingdom of France, although Qingfeng Plain has almost always been in a state of autonomy, it is still nominally the territory of the Kingdom of France. It is acceptable for Jindu Kingdom to do business with Qingfeng Plain, but if Jindu Kingdom really expands its power to Qingfeng Plain, it will almost be an invasion of Fran Kingdom.
However, the control of the Kingdom of Fran on the Qingfeng Plain is almost zero, and there is no way to stop the Kingdom of Jindu from all its actions on the Qingfeng Plain. If they want to drive the Kingdom of Jindu back to the sea, the Kingdom of Fran can only pin their hopes on the forces in the Tower of Dusk and the Breeze Plains.
On the other side, the Kingdom of Laiding, UU Reading www.uukanshu.nnet also does not want the Kingdom of Jindu to gain a foothold on the Qingfeng Plain. Qingfeng Plain is the buffer zone between Leiding and France. The two countries have been able to coexist peacefully for so many years. The main reason is because of the autonomous status of Qingfeng Plain. Without the permission of those forces in the Qingfeng Plain, neither the army of Leiding nor the Kingdom of France could easily enter the scope of the Qingfeng Plain.
Therefore, the last thing that the two countries want to see is that the various forces on the Qingfeng Plain get too close to the Kingdom of Jindu. And here, the attitude of the Twilight Tower is the most important, so Jonathan and Jeremy spared no effort to show their goodwill to Lin Li, hoping to draw Lin Li into their camp.
While Jonathan and Jeremy showed their kindness to Lin Li, Enlos and Senderos sat on the sidelines and laughed without saying a word. They had had a lot of contact with Lin Li, and they knew very well that this young man was not someone who was willing to suffer losses, and with his status as a strong man in the holy realm, the Jindu Kingdom would probably lose its teeth and blood this time.
However, at this moment, Lin Li's face suddenly showed a playful smile, and then he said to several people: "It's really a fight for the younger ones. Here comes the older ones. Sorry, everyone, it seems I have to excuse myself." .”
