Chapter 3682 Discussion
Willow originally thought that Fang Heng was going to help them temporarily intercept the pursuit from Poseidon Island.
Unexpectedly, in less than ten minutes, all the ships of Poseidon's Island were completely destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea.
If those terrifying alchemical creatures could be brought under the Empire's control...
Willow didn't dare to think about it.
Fang Heng said, "I apologize for taking up a little time."
“It’s alright,” Willow reminded him, “Fang Heng, the deity statues on those ships are of a very high level.”
"It's been checked, but it's still unusable."
Fang Heng gently shook his head.
Willow looked at Fang Heng, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
What does "cannot be used" mean?
Fang Heng said, "Your Highness, the matter has been resolved, and we can prepare to set sail."
Willow took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, Fang Heng was able to easily defeat even the Sea God's Island servant.
However, after this battle, their Oz Empire had completely offended the Island of the Sea God.
Poseidon's Island will surely retaliate.
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
Since things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.
……
late at night.
Warships and merchant ships arrived together at the port of the Oz Empire.
Princess Willow went to see the king without stopping.
So much happened in just two days.
She was thinking the whole way.
The Oz Empire has reached a crossroads in history.
If it chooses the right path, the Oz Empire could quickly become one of the world's strongest empires.
But what if you go to the wrong place...
The entire Oz Empire might perish because of this.
How can we persuade the king to take a desperate gamble?
Willow lacked confidence.
The king is old.
Years of consecutive failures have caused him to lose his former competitive spirit.
In the dead of night, the high-ranking officials of the Oz Empire were awakened from their dreams and rushed to the palace as quickly as possible.
As the meeting began and Princess Willow recounted the whole story, the imperial ministers couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Crazy!
Did they offend the Island of the Sea God?
Is he even alive?
Does the Empire really want to completely turn against us over Fang Heng and the Island of the Sea God?
Are you kidding me?
King Silas, persuaded by Willow, has decided to side with Fang Heng.
But he was actually a little hesitant.
The stakes are too high.
Moreover, the Island of the Sea God is renowned.
Willow had anticipated the ministers' reaction and nodded, saying, "Gentlemen, there's no need to worry. Fang Heng is capable of protecting us."
The ministers began whispering among themselves again.
A stranger whose name I've never even heard of before?
Do they have the ability to protect their empire?
Isn't that nonsense?
Do you believe a stranger or the Island of the Sea God?
"Your Majesty, this move is extremely risky. In my opinion, we can maintain a friendly relationship with Fang Heng, but we absolutely cannot openly turn against the Island of the Sea God because of this. It would not benefit us in the slightest!"
"Your Majesty, the Island of the Sea God is incredibly powerful. In my opinion, it would be better to capture Fang Heng immediately and hand him over to the Island of the Sea God for their judgment!"
Immediately, voices of opposition arose.
“Your Majesty,” an old minister said, “I don’t know why you trust Fang Heng so much. There must be your reasons. But no matter how we cooperate with Fang Heng in private, we must sever ties with him publicly. Otherwise, we will face the wrath of the Sea God’s Island. The Oz Empire cannot bear this.”
The king hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Willow beside him.
Willow sighed inwardly.
This is the best opportunity for an empire to rise.
She saw it clearly yesterday: Fang Heng could completely overwhelm the Sea God Island's servants.
If we were to take a step back as the ministers suggested, it might seem like we could avoid the risks, but in reality, it would be a lose-lose situation.
Did they think that by openly expelling Fang Heng, the Island of Sea God would let bygones be bygones?
joke.
As a powerful figure like Fang Heng is bound to cause unpleasantness between him and the Empire.
Just as everyone was discussing, a new piece of news broke the silence.
A guard rushed into the council hall and reported: "Your Majesty, the main island of Poseidon is furious upon learning of Tina's death and has immediately dispatched a Poseidon contingent toward our Oz Empire. Poseidon has contacted us and is demanding that we hand over Fang Heng immediately."
"In addition, we have learned that the Island of Poseidon has sent three divine servants this time, and along the way, joint warships from various sub-islands of the Island of Poseidon will also join the team."
Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent instantly.
What are you afraid of?
The Island of Poseidon has really arrived.
Moreover, they arrived so quickly, with three divine servants appearing at once.
There was a sense of oppression in the air.
King Silas felt immense pressure.
"Gentlemen."
Grand Duke Wendy broke the silence, saying, "Fang Heng has a lot of dirt on him, so he is not entirely trustworthy. The fate of the empire cannot be simply placed on his shoulders. If we grant Fang Heng protection, we will have no room for maneuver with the Island of the Sea God."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
The king was persuaded.
After all, he had only just heard of Fang Heng's name before.
Willow's heart sank.
The king was already somewhat hesitant about the matter, and now that his ministers were unwilling to believe Fang Heng, the king wavered even more.
"Your Excellency, do you think I am deceiving His Majesty?"
"No, I acknowledge that Your Highness is wholeheartedly devoted to the Empire, but I think Your Highness is perhaps too hasty. You have always been very prudent in your actions. Perhaps you should consider carefully whether you have been misled by Fang Heng?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Princess Willow.
Indeed, they all noticed that Princess Willow was acting strangely, seemingly being particularly protective of Fang Heng.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider." Grand Duke Wendy glanced at Princess Willow again and said in a deep voice, "Are we really going to bury our hard-earned foundation built up over so many years just for Fang Heng?"
Willow said, "I can vouch for Fang Heng."
"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but I'm afraid you can't bear this responsibility, and neither can any of us."
……
Fang Heng remained on the merchant ship and did not disembark.
At this time, he was unaware that Poseidon's Island had already dispatched a team, and he did not take Poseidon's Island's retaliation to heart.
revenge?
It would be best if they dared to retaliate.
At that time, a steady stream of divine fragments will be delivered to your door.
During his break, Fang Heng hid in his room and tried to condense divine power.
Fragments of divine authority slowly coalesced, forming the shape of divine authority itself.
Five ordinary divine powers can be combined to form one intermediate divine power, five intermediate divine powers can be combined to form one high-level divine power, and so on.
Fang Heng tried it out and placed the completed divine authority aside.
Let's wait.
Willow should have news by tomorrow.
I hope the friend she introduced is reliable.
Fang Heng also prepared for the worst.
If Princess Willow's approach doesn't work, then we'll have to go through a bit more trouble and make another trip to the main island of the Sea God, try to steal the highest-ranking deity from the main island, and then slowly upgrade it through divine authority.
Reaching the highest level shouldn't be a problem.
After these battles, the team's reputation has improved by leaps and bounds.
After sorting through his gains from the trip, Fang Heng returned to the dimensional realm to check his AFK progress and made minor adjustments to the production line based on his current level before returning to the Black Sea World. (End of Chapter)
