At this moment, in the Royal Dragon City Palace in the Light Pillar Plane, Martin welcomed a special guest - General Kedel, the special envoy from the Northern Continent.
The court knight led General Kedel to the throne room, then saluted respectfully to Martin who was sitting on the throne, and quietly retreated.
General Kedel took a few steps forward and bowed to Martin.
After standing up, he said in a very respectful tone, "Your Majesty, Queen Catherine has sent me here specifically in the hope of forming an alliance with Your Majesty so that the two continents can support each other. To this end, the Queen has prepared a generous gift, which I hope Your Majesty will accept."
As he spoke, he raised a high-level space ring above his head.
Seeing this, Martin stretched out his hand and summoned the ring, which fell directly into his hand.
He opened the ring and looked inside, only a box engraved with inscriptions.
Martin took out the box and turned to ask General Kedel: "What's in it?"
General Kedel smiled faintly and responded, "Your Majesty, the box contains divine power crystals, a total of 1,825. These are all the divine power crystals in the national treasury. Your Majesty, I hope that for the sake of these divine power crystals, the two continents will cease their conflict."
After hearing this, Martin put the box back into the ring and said slowly, "Now, I am determined to obtain the territory and the population as well. I heard that Queen Catherine of the Northern Continent is extremely beautiful. I wonder if this is true?"
General Kedel suppressed his anger, still forcing a smile on his face as he said, "I'll probably have to go back and ask the Queen about her wishes, but personally, I strongly agree that the two continents should be merged into one."
Hearing this, Martin sneered inwardly, thinking: It seems that there must be something fishy about this matter! I just don't know whether this box is hiding a secret, or if there is another hidden secret... They have spies planted in the Dragon Spine Empire, don't I, Martin, have any?
According to intelligence reports, General Kedel was a womanizer, with numerous women around him. Interestingly, he was deeply in love with Empress Catherine, though the exact nature of their relationship remained unclear.
But what is certain is that General Kedel's love for Queen Catherine was extremely deep.
General Kedel agreed so easily to Martin's attempt just now, which made Martin feel alert.
Martin thought for a moment, then summoned two high-ranking dragon knights, Betan and Eric, through the communication crystal.
Soon, four figures appeared in the throne room. After the two dragons entered the hall, they first saluted respectfully to Martin, who was in the upper position, and then quickly stood around General Kedel.
Martin took out the box containing the mysterious item, handed it to General Kedel, and said coldly, "Open it."
When General Kedel heard this, a hint of viciousness flashed across his face, and then he was ready to fight to the death.
However, before he could make any move, he was firmly controlled by Eric who reacted quickly.
But at this moment, the box had already been opened, and a colorful smoke instantly spread out, filling the entire throne room in the blink of an eye.
At the critical moment, the Shadow Hunter quickly jumped out from Martin's shadow, grabbed Martin, and then the two of them disappeared into the space crack and came to the outside of the throne hall.
Almost at the same time, Betan, Eric and their dragon escorted General Kedel and successfully arrived outside through the space crack.
Just as Martin was about to question General Kedel, he heard a loud bang. Looking back, he saw that the entire hall had been corroded and dilapidated, collapsed into ruins.
Martin stared at the devastated throne room in silence as the surrounding court knights quickly rushed over.
Martin no longer had the heart to question General Kedel at this moment, and immediately ordered Eric to execute General Kedel.
Afterwards, he was planning to gather all the military personnel and dragon knights to discuss the attack on the Northern Continent.
However, something unexpected happened. He suddenly felt dizzy and was struck by a strong sense of vertigo.
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Martin's eyes went dark and he passed out.
The Shadow Hunter saw His Majesty's colorful hands and thought to himself that something was wrong.
He rushed to General Kedel, grabbed him by the neck, and shouted, "Where is the antidote?"
General Kedel just laughed and then committed suicide.
At this time, Betan and Eric had quickly rushed to Martin's side, and hurriedly infused divine power into Martin's body, trying their best to protect his heart meridians.
At this moment, Luo Jia and others broke through the space cracks and appeared in front of Martin.
During this period, he obtained the divine powers from Dragon Island. With the help of these divine powers, he promoted all his dragon knights to the level of middle gods or upper gods. As a result, one hundred middle god powers and part of the energy accumulated by Martin were consumed.
Although everyone tried their best to infuse divine power, they could only protect Martin's heart meridians from being damaged. Unexpectedly, Martin, who was at the demigod level, was directly knocked unconscious by the poison. This was beyond Martin's expectations.
Betan looked at the unconscious Majesty with great anxiety. He then took out the communication crystal and sent a message to all the dragon knights in the Dragon Spine Empire.
A few minutes later, more than twenty dragon knights riding giant dragons quickly arrived at the Dragon Spine Empire through the space crack, and then headed straight for the palace.
Over thirty mid-level gods and upper-level dragon knights looked at the unconscious Majesty, their hearts filled with grief. Lorgar spoke first, "Everyone, if anything happens to Majesty, what's the point of conquering the Northern Continent?"
The other dragon knights echoed.
Although Martin fell into a coma, he still retained consciousness.
It's not that he had never thought about conquering the Northern Continent. The Great Elder had warned him before that the current situation was becoming increasingly serious. Moreover, there were a large number of demigods and domain masters in the Sky City of the Northern Continent. They were the main force to intercept small-scale void creatures.
The Great Elder also said that he would later facilitate the merger of the two continents to achieve the unification of the Dragon Spine Empire, and this game of conflict between the continents should come to an end.
Martin listened to the words of the Great Elder and nodded in agreement. He then focused his attention on attacking other small planes, hoping to quickly promote his men to the planetary level or even higher. His ambition was far more than just conquering one plane.
But what he never expected was that Queen Catherine was so cruel that she directly poisoned him.
Just as Martin was lost in thought, the energy in his body system began to spread slowly, driving away the toxins that had invaded his body bit by bit.
