Muller's eyes were deep-set, and his dark pupils swept coldly over everyone at the table, sending a chill down the spines of those being looked at.
Unlike Augut, who was arrogant and always had a way of ordering people around, Marshal Muller from the Delta Federation was taciturn and not keen on interacting with people. He always stood with his arms crossed, silently watching the sea. The bicorn hat he wore always covered his expression, and if you were lucky enough to see it, it was always his solemn face.
But no one can ignore what this man with the perpetually stern face says.
That statement, "Whoever retreats will be considered a betrayal of the alliance, and the Delta Federation will go to your country," wasn't just meant to intimidate.
Who doesn't know what kind of country the Delta Federation is? Perhaps twelve years ago it wasn't enough to inspire fear. Back then it was called the Golt Empire, with borders similar to those of the Shenglu Kingdom, but it couldn't compare to the Sari Kingdom.
But that happened twelve years ago.
Twelve years ago, the Golte Empire, located on the continent of Satorsno, welcomed a new emperor, von Palen. He ascended the throne at the age of thirty, which is the prime of a man's life.
Von Palen is another example. It is said that this man only sleeps for two hours a day, but he always maintains a high-spirited and passionate demeanor, making everyone who sees him feel his fiery passion.
Upon assuming office, Von Palen implemented sweeping reforms with an iron fist. In fact, almost every ambitious monarch would do the same upon taking office, as everyone wants to showcase their talents and make the country stronger.
However, reform also means facing numerous obstacles. After all, those in power who control the most resources are always keen to maintain the status quo, and for them, reform means giving up their interests.
Von Palen also encountered this obstacle. Although he was extremely popular, he faced resistance from some conservative nobles who opposed his reforms through various means.
Faced with this situation, he did not choose to compromise like previous monarchs and make the "reform" ineffective. On the contrary, he chose a more radical approach.
"The more the people support me, the more it proves that I am doing the right thing; the more the corrupt and decadent nobles oppose me, the more it proves that I am doing the right thing!"
"If they praise me, it proves I did the right thing! If they remain silent, it means I did nothing wrong!"
"I am right! I am leading the Golt Empire on an absolutely correct path!"
"Damn opponents, your souls have been corrupted by the devil, go to hell, all of you!"
Based on this will and determination, Von Palen ruthlessly purged his opponents, stripping them of all their wealth and privileges, and then transferring them to his supporters.
Supporters grew increasingly ardent, while opponents were sent to the guillotine one by one.
The iron-fisted reforms yielded effective results, and the reforms finally entered the next phase. Von Palen began to implement a policy of strengthening the military, and in just three years, the Götter Empire had become a fully armed nation.
At that time, there were more than a dozen countries on the continent of Satorosno, and the Golte Empire was just one of them. However, after three years of transformation, Von Palen had decided to embark on a conquest.
The next nine years need not be elaborated upon; all that is needed is to know is that there is only one Great Emperor on the continent of Satosno at that time.
—Emperor von Palen, the "war maniac".
As a close confidant and fervent supporter of Von Palen, Müller may not always maintain the same passionate demeanor as Von Palen, but beneath his stern and serious exterior, his inner self is undoubtedly no different from Von Palen's.
—The Emperor says to conquer a place, so I will attack that place!
—To conquer successfully is glory, and to die on the road to conquest is also glory!
The glory of the empire must be defended with lives, and the pride of the empire must be proven with blood!
Three days ago, Muller led the Federation fleet to this sea area, and the arrival of the Federation fleet truly shocked the marshals of various countries who had arrived earlier.
The Federation fleet brought a large number of warships, even slightly more than the Rose Fleet and the Sea Lion Fleet combined, which was quite surprising.
After all, in their previous understanding, they only thought that the Delta Federation would send warships similar to those of the Shenglu and Hunli countries this time. But this time they used such a large force, which undoubtedly shows that the Delta Federation on the Satosno continent has become much stronger.
The continent of Satosno has now been conquered by the Delta Federation. Von Palen has great ambitions, and this trip is probably just the beginning. He has always been swift and decisive in dealing with war.
The country that Von Palen sent was initially envisioned as an extremely easy target, yet Von Palen dispatched such a large fleet, which was truly unsettling.
Marshals from some ordinary countries closer to the Satorsno continent were already uneasy, fearing that von Palen might launch a surprise attack from their own lands.
This concern is not unfounded. In fact, the Golt Empire did exactly that. Otherwise, how could it have conquered all the countries on the continent of Satorosno in just nine years and become the Delta Federation of today?
Once von Palen decides to wage war, he becomes a complete madman, and this madman can make his army follow him in a mad trance as if possessed.
Their offensive was like a sudden summer thunderstorm, swift and fierce.
