The bright sunshine shines on the vast earth.

But Louis in the sky looked down at the Eye of Terror, only to find that the sun was still at an angle and could not project its sunlight directly into the depths of the earth.

This is really outrageous.

With the diameter of the Eye of Terror, sunlight cannot reach the deepest part. How deep must this world-class hole be?

Louis didn't dare to think about it.

At that time he asked the officials of the Kingdom of Monet who were accompanying them.

They came from the East and West Monai Kingdoms respectively, but because of the Universe Serpent, they came together in a rare way.

Let me put it this way.

After the capital of the Kingdom of Monet was blown away, the last time the two countries stood side by side was when the three major human powers were preparing to form an offensive and defensive alliance. The Kingdom of Monet was forced to choose to unite because it had been divided and its comprehensive strength was not enough to sit at the table.

But now, a snake circling the universe made them let go of their prejudices.

Louis asked about the situation in the Kingdom of Monet and learned that they had recently observed Him and obtained relevant intelligence.

The response given by the relevant parties was that the two countries only had about 4 minutes to observe the status of the Cosmic Serpent.

These 4 minutes are not the time for the strong men of the Monai Kingdom to fight against the Universe Snake.

It is the time at noon when the sun rises to its highest point and shines almost vertically to the bottom of the Eye of Terror.

Louis made a simple conversion and further updated the thickness of the continental crust of the stars.

At that moment, he suddenly realized something in his mind.

The Star Continent was not a planet as he had previously imagined.

It is very likely the "flat earth" world that did not exist in the previous life.

Because the Eye of Terror is too deep.

How large is the area of ​​a mountain range?

If the sun only shines on the bottom for 4 minutes a day, the thickness of the earth's crust is too amazing.

By inferring the area of ​​the Star Continent from the depth of the crust at this thickness and comparing it with the area distribution on the existing map of the Star Continent, it can be deduced that the current map area deviates too greatly from the radius of the "planet" of the Star Continent.

There are two possibilities in this case.

The first is that the existing map of the Star Continent does not record it completely, and there is more vast land outside the map.

The second possibility is that this world is a flat world, so many conversion formulas from previous lives are not suitable here.

Rumor has it that the dungeon is not suspended in the void like the demiplane.

The real underground city is hidden under the extremely deep soil of the Star Continent.

He originally thought that this statement was too outrageous, but after seeing the Eye of Terror with his own eyes, he more or less understood what that group of people were thinking.

…

Recalling the previous conversation with officials from the two countries, Louis frowned.

His keen mental insight ability had already revealed the identity of the outsider.

It was the official from the Kingdom of Simonai who had previously taken him to visit the Eye of Terror.

They came suddenly at this time and left Dong Monet's people behind. Louis could basically guess their purpose.

William, who was guarding the door, knocked on the door gently and said:

"Your Highness, Simone's people want to see you."

Louis said in a deep voice: "Tell them that if it is something related to Dong Monet, there is no need to invite me specifically. I am here for only one purpose."

William said "yes" and the room outside the door fell silent.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door, one heavy and three light knocks. Louis knew it was William who came back: "Come in."

William opened the door and brought in a fruit plate and snacks.

"Your Highness, it's late at night. You should eat something and then rest."

Louis sighed and said, "What do you think is going on now? The country is about to be destroyed, and all they think about is how to benefit their own country."

William nodded as a matter of course and said, "As long as it is an intelligent race, this kind of thing will never be uncommon."

"Yeah, I know that, but I still feel helpless when I see this situation."

Simonet's idea was simple.

We should take advantage of this opportunity now and quickly use the powerful external forces to merge the two countries into one.

Even Louis was very clear that from the perspective of the Enther Empire, if they personally promoted the merger of the two countries, it would actually be very advantageous for Enther's future situation.

But just because Eun-sel can do it doesn't mean Louis has to do it.

Today, his vision is no longer limited to one country.

Small countries can focus on the happiness of their people, but big countries can only focus more on their rise.

Regardless of whether the Abyss or the dungeon will threaten Unther, Unther can only develop along this path.

Because the result of not rising up is dismemberment.

Countless historical experiences tell us that no great power will not be dismembered by external forces after giving up its rise.

After being dismembered, a big country has no choice but to offer happiness to its people.

If we do not want to become the group that is dismembered, we can only seek our position in the world as a great power.

It is the responsibility of a major country and you cannot escape it.

A trip to the Kingdom of Monet was inevitable, and it was not something that could be ignored if Louis did not come.

In this case, based on the perspective of the Star Continent, Louis did not want to get involved in the internal conflicts of the Kingdom of Monet.

He turned to William and said:

"William, why do you think I didn't even meet with them?"

William slapped his head in thought and said:

"Your Highness, you are probably worried that you have given the Kingdom of West Monet too much hope, which may lead to bad ideas in them, or even deliberately create a false impression for the Kingdom of East Monet, and eventually drag Enser into the quagmire."

William's family has been serving the royal family for many years.

As a defender, William naturally has his own judgment on many international situations.

Not to mention that he has been with the prince since Louis was reborn, and he is very clear about his prince's opinions.

He is not very willing to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and even the so-called alliance is not an all-round alliance.

Even Tunisia, with which the cooperation is most in-depth now, is more like an exchange and collaboration based on industry and commerce.

In this case, if Louis met with the ministers of the Kingdom of Simone alone, it would easily give the outside world an illusion.

Unser is ready to join the conflict between the two countries.

Seeing the opportunity to annex East Monai, Simone might take a risky move to create an illusion for the East Monai Kingdom and force them to surrender.

By that time, the Enser Empire would be in a state of disgrace, unable to explain itself.

"William."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Your strength has improved rapidly recently, much faster than I expected."

William smiled warmly when he heard this: "As your iron guard, isn't it normal for my strength to improve quickly?"

“Is this speed normal?”

“Isn’t that normal?”

"Is it normal?"

"It's normal for an Iron Guard." William smiled and said, "I swore to be your shield and sword. From that day on, I will rise and fall with you. As long as you keep getting stronger, my growth rate will not slow down."

Louis nodded.

It was only after he completely mastered the core power of the empire that he had a clear enough understanding of the existence of the Iron Guard.

The current Iron Guards are different from the earliest Iron Guards of the Unther Empire.

In the days when the Iron Guard was still called Iron Warriors, this group of people was more like a legion of soldiers with specific professional characteristics.

But many years later, the iron guard industry has undergone tremendous changes.

In the memories of Black Sun that Louis had previously obtained, the iron guards under the Emperor were truly invincible.

But the existence of the Iron Guard and the inside story behind it are not something that ordinary people can know.

It was only when he and Beatrice were officially married that he understood what the Iron Guard meant now.

This is a special unit infected by the power of sin and arrogance.

Select those who can carry some of the power of arrogance from among countless top warriors, and make fundamental changes to their life essence.

To put it bluntly, those who can now serve as Iron Guards must be a group that has undergone specific transformation.

Not to mention their small numbers, if they want to exert their own strength, they still rely heavily on the strength of the people they swear allegiance to.

William's strength has improved... to be a little cruel, Alice, who was originally a favored girl, is now growing in strength at a rate less than one-third of William's.

Because after William swore allegiance to Louis, his growth and strength limit depended on Louis.

The youth version of the plug-in is also a plug-in.

To say that a small cheat is not a cheat is purely misleading.

"You shouldn't have come to this battle. Your strength shouldn't be used here." Louis said in a deep voice, "I'm waiting for the moment when you completely show your fangs to the world. Before that, just hide yourself first."

Every Iron Guard is trained to be the "King's right hand".

If the Iron Guard is not afraid of its body not being able to withstand the force, it can pay a suicidal price and briefly carry the "status of the king" to become the ultimate weapon.

But... if you want to use this power, you must pay an extremely cruel price.

William's ancestors were merely transformed by the great sin of pride, but he was not pride itself.

His grandfather briefly carried the power of the Emperor and blocked the gate to the abyss for a period of time, but his soul soon disintegrated.

"Your Majesty, I will not waste my limited life here, but when you really need me, please do not stop me. This is the fate of the Iron Guard."

His voice was gentle, but it carried a kind of determination that ordinary people could not understand.

Louis sighed softly.

But after a moment, he showed a wicked smile: "You know me. If you really die, you will know what I will do, right?"

William smiled but said nothing.

There are not many people around Louis who can chat with him, and William is one of the few.

Although to the outside world, William served as Louis' personal guard.

But internally, everyone who knows him knows that William’s role is more like a friend and close friend of the king, rather than a simple personal guard.

"It's late, William, you should go out and have a rest. I'll check the intelligence and go to sleep."

…

Louis quietly flipped through the documents.

I chatted with Beatrice for a while and asked about the situation in the empire.

Then I contacted Little Swan to discuss the problem on her side.

Little Swan is now too busy to handle everything.

Well, literally.

She is really running between two ends now.

In the past she only pretended a little, but now she directly uses all her clones.

The military base on the Falling Star Sea~Pah, the commercial transit area still needs her to supervise the construction.

On the other side, the demiplane where the Jade Phoenix Alliance is located is still undergoing emergency rescue.

More and more information about the time is coming out.

Little Swan's face was full of annoyance when he was communicating with his crystal.

But this irritation was not directed at him.

But the situation in the Jade Phoenix Alliance demiplane was worse than she had imagined.

"Chancellor Tom is gone."

As soon as the little swan came up, he said something that made Louis' pupils shrink suddenly: "You can't hold on so soon?"

Olivia nodded and said, "Before, we were able to seal half of the snake body. This was the result of hundreds of years of planning by the Grand Speaker."

"What is the source of the loosening of the seal?"

"Didn't you guess it?"

"Them again?"

"Well, although it's not directly related, the person who did it was a high-ranking Tzeentch person many years ago."

Louis didn't want to talk.

It is not unfair that the Church of the Abyss has reached the point where everyone is calling for its destruction.

How many disputes end up involving them?

"Did he kill that man?"

"No."

"Name, location, I'll arrange someone."

Louis' operation is simpler and more brutal.

To deal with such people, you don't need a reason, you just need a list.

But Olivia shook her head and said, "You can't kill him?"

"Very strong?"

"You can't kill someone who died thousands of years ago."

"Grass!"

Louis finally understood what Little Swan meant: "That guy left a backup plan to break the seal, and it was not until thousands of years later that the seal of the Cosmic Serpent was damaged?"

"right."

"This... is a bit too strong."

"It's normal to be strong. We investigated and found that before his death, he should have served as the Pope of the Church of Tzeentch."

"That makes sense." Louis sighed, "Can they ensure that the remaining half of the seal is stable?"

"It's safe, but you should be careful over there. Even if it's only half a body, the power gathered by the front half is greater than the back half."

"Um."

After hanging up the communication crystal, Louis became even more troubled.

Why are they here again?

He sighed in his heart: "I really have to find a way to kill them all."

Although the oil fire can't be extinguished after all.

That night, Louis fell into a deep sleep.

But he slept restlessly.

He dreamed of his wife first.

Beatrice is always so gentle and considerate.

In the dream, he was sitting in a chair to rest, exhausted after completing one task after another like a corporate slave.

She walked straight to him in her graceful dress, gently put her arms around his neck, held a strawberry in the corner of her mouth, and put it into his mouth.

You know what, it’s quite sweet.

While he was happy, he lowered his head to feel the warmth of her lips, bit them gently, and tasted the shy flavor of a green apple.

"Hey, why did the taste change?"

"Don't you like it?" A cute purr was heard.

Louis' body stiffened slightly, and when he looked down, he found that his wife had become his sister-in-law without him noticing.

Olivia tilted her head back, and looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Or is it only my sister who can do this?"
