Chapter 167: Swift War
Billy was kept a secret from Grace and Vivian Lee's conversation, so when the end came, Billy had to face the loss of his wife and the daughter who was the only trace of his wife's existence.
"My daughter... May the glory of His Majesty the Sea God shine upon you forever! May our future no longer be in confusion!"
Billy teased his daughter in his arms and handed his epaulettes to Grace beside him.
"Billy, what are you doing..." Grace was a little stunned.
Because Billy is now a general in the Imperial Navy and has jurisdiction over a fleet.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the battlefield anymore, my good brother, Gris." Billy turned and left, saying, "War kills people... Xiyi lost her mother when she was born, and I can't let her lose her father, so..."
"I'm so sorry, Gris!"
Looking at Billy who was leaving, and then looking at the epaulettes in his hand, Grace shook his head and sighed.
……
Everything that happened to Billy was seen by Lilia, who had the authority to monitor ocean currents.
Therefore, Lilia began to wonder "what is love".
So in order to solve her doubts, she came to the temple and found Sunan who happened to be free.
"Lord Orias, may I ask...what is love?" Lilia, who had transformed into a human form, performed the etiquette of a lady and asked Sunan.
In her heart, the sea god who possesses supreme power should be omniscient and all-knowing. Therefore, she felt that she could get the answer from Sunan.
"What is love..." Hearing this question, Su Nan fell into silence for a long time.
He began to try hard to recall and trace back his memories so that he could understand what love is.
But... he didn't seem to understand what love was. To be more precise, he couldn't describe it.
Because he has personally sealed his beloved Egolia in crystal, and only after all the falsehoods are shattered, the love he has been waiting for will come.
However, before Egolia was sealed, he briefly tasted the sweetness of love.
"Love... is a sweetness that cannot be described in words. At the very beginning, the person you love will become the only one in your heart. Being with her is like owning the world..."
"Later, when the passion fades, love will become a daily routine, the daily necessities of life..."
"If you insist on asking me what love is, then... I'm sorry, I can't explain it to you."
Although Sunan's answer was not perfect and could not solve Lilia's doubts, it was enough for her, who was so smart.
"Thank you, Lord Orias, for clearing up my confusion."
After performing a lady's salute again, Lilia silently entered the side hall.
The side hall is her workplace and also her bedroom.
"Love... is really hard to understand..."
Thinking back to how Vianlie was willing to face death for love, Lilia just couldn't understand it.
"It seems that I still haven't completed the mission that Lady Egolia has given me..."
Lilia thought she understood humans, but it turned out that she still didn't really understand.
Just for something like love, she felt that she would need at least a thousand years to understand it... Maybe a thousand years was not enough?
"Anyway...I'll just get on with my daily work."
Shaking her head to clear her unnecessary thoughts, Lilia began her daily monitoring.
Ocean current system... let's call it that.
According to the information of the surrounding areas connected by the water veins in the sea, they are gathered together, and then with the help of the stability of the immortal spell talisman and the high-energy minerals as support...
Eventually, a system was formed that could monitor all aspects of the Lemurian territory.
During these years of development, the ocean current system has completely covered the entire area of Lemuria, and has also achieved surveillance of the land outside Lemuria.
In other words, if an information war is waged against foreign races now, then there is no doubt that those barbarians will be facing Lemuria, which has absolute strength!
……
"After so many years of development, without me, Lemuria has the strength to suppress all races except the dragon lizard race..." On the throne, Su Nan sat on it with his eyelids slightly drooping.
"In that case, it's time for my army to sweep across the Gaohai."
"Once we have resolved all the issues in Gaohai, it will be the turn of the West Sea and the North Sea."
Standing up from the throne, Su Nan took a step forward, his figure flashed and appeared directly in the priest's palace.
Looking at Helles who was writing furiously on the tablet, Sunan said to him:
"Helus, it's time to start the war!"
……
[On April 9, the 4th year of the Imperial Calendar, the entire Lemurian army prepares for war! ]
[The huge imperial machinery began to operate, as if the ancient gods had awakened from their slumber. The great Sea God led his invincible fleet and began to launch an overwhelming war against the barbarians in the High Seas! ]
[On May 9, the 5th year of the Imperial Calendar, seven huge fleets, a total of 1 ironclad warships set out from the port of the Lemurian capital, the Eternal City, and began to wage war in all directions]
[On June 9, the 6th year of the Imperial Calendar, the fleet led by the Grand Marshal of the Navy, Army and Air Force, Kalus, encountered the barbarian army of the Cangjing Territory... There is no doubt that how could a mere barbarian tribe resist the army of Holy Lemuria? ]
[In just one month, all the barbarians on that large island submitted their surrender to Holy Lemuria and accepted this vast archipelago under the seal of Marshal Kalus]
[On June 9, the 6th year of the Imperial Calendar, the dragon lizards in the deep sea seemed to know everything that was happening, but something surprising happened]
[The leader of the deep sea dragon lizard clan, Prince Dragon Scylla, who once served the ancient sea spirit, submitted a letter of surrender to our supreme Majesty the Sea God, and requested to be able to talk with His Majesty the Sea God.]
[We, the scribes, did not personally witness the information of this conversation, but after the huge dragon left, the dragon lizards were no longer enemies, but the people of Holy Lemuria...]
[It's really confusing, these dragon lizards can actually be considered citizens of the empire? ]
[However, with the surrender of the dragon lizard tribe, the barbarians on the archipelago surrendered even faster.]
[On July 9, the 7th year of the Imperial Calendar, another huge archipelago was shrouded in the glory of Holy Lemuria. Under the decree of His Majesty the Supreme Sea God, this area was named the Iriye Forest District]
[Praise the supreme Seagod for giving those stupid barbarians a chance to survive. Praise the merciful Seagod! ]
[On February 10, 2th year of the Imperial Calendar, the High Sea Region was finally enveloped by the glory of Holy Lemuria! ]
[Here, I praise the supreme Sea God. May your glory lead us in the direction of progress. Under your glory, we will no longer be lost! ]
