【The First Progenitor is about to descend on Itogami Island!】
After this announcement was made, the whole world quieted down, and everyone waited silently, waiting for the Fourth Empire's response.
In response to the First Empire's announcement, Wang Xiaoming had Natsuki Minamiya issue a new corresponding announcement.
【We have not received any application for the First Progenitor to visit. Entering our country's territory without an application will be defined as an illegal entry, and we will expel them.】
Good heavens, so tough? Natsuki Minamiya is awesome!
As the Foreign Affairs *Minister*, Natsuki Minamiya is completely on fire. Originally a high-ranking witch as the 【Void Witch】, she has now directly become the Foreign Affairs *Minister* of the Fourth Empire. This promotion is a bit too much.
However, Natsuki Minamiya doesn't want this kind of attention, because this attention is gained by stepping on the First Progenitor. She feels that Wang Xiaoming is deliberately setting her up! But she has no evidence.
The First Empire didn't seem to expect Itogami Island to be so tough, and they were stunned for a moment.
But the First Empire still gave a response as soon as possible.
【The First Progenitor will descend on Itogami Island to demand results from the Fourth Empire regarding the death of Duke Dimitrie Vatler of the War King Domain on Itogami Island.】
Although it was a response, everyone inexplicably felt that the First Empire had lost in the confrontation, because they actually started to reason? How interesting.
The spokesperson of the First Empire was actually a bit dumbfounded. They are the War King Domain of the First Empire. When have they ever said something that someone dared to refute? Even the remaining two Progenitors have never refuted anything the First Progenitor said. Now the newly arrived Fourth Empire actually refuted?
Their diplomatic spokesperson was originally just a decoration. Saying 【The First Progenitor will descend on Itogami Island】 actually completed the matter. There would be no follow-up.
But they really didn't expect the Fourth Empire to refute, and even say that the First Progenitor was illegally entering the country. This is simply outrageous. Who dares to say that the First Progenitor is illegally entering the country, or what if the First Progenitor is illegally entering the country? The so-called Progenitors themselves are the top combat power in this world, and it's no problem to go anywhere.
Look, when the Third Progenitor went to Itogami Island, did Itogami Island say anything? Why did Itogami Island suddenly jump up when the First Progenitor arrived? As a result, after Itogami Island refuted, the First Empire didn't know what to say for a while, because they really had no experience.
No experience is no experience, but the First Empire still took action as soon as possible. It takes a long time to get from Eastern Europe to Itogami Island in the northwestern Pacific. It's definitely not appropriate to go by air, because airplanes are not safe, and looking at the Fourth Empire's appearance, they plan to fight to the end. Although the Fourth Progenitor is a newly awakened Progenitor, the Familiars of the Progenitor level can still easily shoot down airplanes.
Therefore, the only way they can go is by sea.
Starting from the Black Sea, the First Empire's fleet passed through the Mediterranean Sea, then entered the Red Sea through the Suez Canal, and finally entered the Indian Ocean, heading all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
The First Progenitor's fleet was closely watched, and everyone's eyes were on this fleet, constantly monitoring it.
This fleet actually doesn't have many ships, only five in total. In this situation where modern technology has developed to a certain extent, this fleet looks particularly retro, because this fleet only has five ships in total, and the flagship in the center is actually a battleship, the kind with big guns and giant cannons. On both sides of the battleship are two cruisers, also with a bunch of gun barrels. Only the remaining two are destroyers that are a bit closer to the modern style.
This world, originally ruled by aliens, should essentially be full of high technology, but because Cain sealed the passage to 【Different Realm】 before his death, most of the Heavenly Department's technology remained in the 【Different Realm】.
The result is that the technological development on Earth has been severely skewed by the three Progenitors.
Although technology is not bad, it is more about magical technology. The development of life technology and war technology is completely不行啊.
After all, with three mobile nuclear weapon arsenals walking around on Earth, there seems to be no point in researching other weapons and equipment. Everyone knows that magic must be used to defeat magic, so the war has changed from battles between humans to magical battles mainly carried out by attack mages and demons.
Formulas, large-scale ritual magic, and magical items are the real way to open the Strike the Blood world.
The importance of precision and long-range strikes has been reduced, because for demons, the place where they are can be transformed into territory. They can directly throw vampires and beastmen onto human territory, and then let the beastmen engage in close combat with you, while the vampires summon Familiars in the back to deal AOE damage. This is the correct way to open the war in this world.
And the Progenitors are the ultimate strategic weapons. Once the Progenitors are deployed on the battlefield, humans can only surrender.
Therefore, they don't need too many missiles for long-range attacks, but directly carry out high-power artillery attacks.
This has led to the human world also skewing the technology tree, not researching long-range strikes, but researching close-range combat.
Thus, there is the scene where battleships are still charging on the sea in the 21st century.
What, you say the air force? That kind of paper-made thing can't withstand a Familiar's slap at all. It's just a flying coffin!
This fleet led by battleships slowly ran for half a month under the attention of the whole world, and then came to the southern waters of Itogami Island.
The confrontation between the First Empire and the Fourth Empire is about to break out.
429. Sorry, Natsuki, I loved you!
On the top platform of the keystone gate in the center of Itogami Island, Wang Xiaoming stood on the edge with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire Itogami Island. The population of this newly established Night Empire is rapidly increasing.
Because Japan has fully sided with the Night Empire, a large number of ships come and go to the port north of Tokyo every day.
There are various goods and commodities, as well as many laborers. This island, which originally only allowed researchers and family members to visit, is now receiving a large amount of labor, after all, there will be many infrastructure projects to be carried out here, and there are not many laborers on Itogami Island.
According to the plans of those artificial management company guys, the first step in the development of Itogami Island is to expand half the area to the north as a new district, and mainly as an industrial and commercial area.
Japan's pouring in has brought great benefits to the original high-level people of Itogami Island. They have only been Wang Xiaoming's dogs for a short time, and they have received so many benefits. They are even more enthusiastic about being Wang Xiaoming's dogs. As Wang Xiaoming said, they now trust them even more.
The humans on Itogami Island are basically Japanese. Now that Japan has poured into the Fourth Empire, there is no gap in communication between the two sides, and even many people on Itogami Island have no concept that they have become people of the Fourth Empire. Their lives have not changed in any way.
A wave of space fluctuations, a purple magic circle appeared behind Wang Xiaoming, and Natsuki Minamiya jumped out of the magic circle and landed steadily.
"How is the situation? Where are those guys from the War King Domain?"
Wang Xiaoming asked Natsuki Minamiya immediately.
"Not good!"
Seeing Wang Xiaoming turning his back to her, Natsuki Minamiya couldn't help but glare at him.
"The First Progenitor's fleet has reached the southern waters and will soon enter our territorial waters. What are you going to do?"
"When they enter the territorial waters, issue a warning first. If they don't turn around after the warning, attack directly."
"Are you really going to fight the First Progenitor!"
Natsuki Minamiya widened her eyes and looked at Wang Xiaoming in surprise.
"What, are you scared?"
“Nonsense, that's the First True Ancestor, a monster who controls seventy-two familiars. Even among the True Ancestors, he's a monster. Alglolora only has ten. You wouldn't expect Alglolora to fight that kind of monster, would you? Alglolora doesn't even have any combat experience!”
“Of course not. When did I ever say I'd let Alglolora fight the First True Ancestor?”
“Not Alglolora, then...”
Nangong Nayue was shocked again.
“You don't mean you're going yourself, do you? Are you trying to die?”
“Since you're so worried about me, then... how about you go?”
Wang Xiaoming turned around and jokingly suggested to Nangong Nayue.
“Get lost!”
Nangong Nayue spat out without any politeness. Just like Leticia back then, after spending a long time together, Nangong Nayue also understood that Wang Xiaoming was a guy who seemed sunny and handsome on the surface, but was actually very silly and "selfish" in personality. As long as you had a good enough relationship with him, you could say anything. In the relationship of good friends, he had no sense of hierarchy.
The premise was that you had a good enough relationship with him. This guy didn't care who you were, but rather how good your relationship was.
So if you thought you could be flippant with him just because you were a beautiful girl, you might be directly killed. But as long as you had a good relationship, you could be flippant even if you weren't a beautiful girl.
Fortunately, Nangong Nayue happened to be the kind who had a relatively good relationship with Wang Xiaoming. After all, in the Strike the Blood world, Nangong Nayue was an undisputed popular character. She was a legal gothic black long straight loli female teacher!
Wang Xiaoming used to call "Nayue-chan, my wife" back in the day, but now she could only be his ex-wife. It was fine to shout it back then, but now if Wang Xiaoming had to choose, he felt that Nayue wasn't suitable to be a wife anymore because her personality didn't suit the current Wang Xiaoming.
Look at the personalities of Wang Xiaoming's current wives: Hestia, who was very enthusiastic on the surface but actually very shy; Tokishima Saeko, who was strict with herself on the surface but would be incomparably gentle and virtuous once she recognized you; Esther, who completely obeyed all of Wang Xiaoming's requests; Leticia, who would occasionally roll her eyes, but prioritized Wang Xiaoming above all else; Lamia, who was very strict in some matters but was essentially very soft in personality; and Lamia, who was very mischievous on the surface but actually very innocent and cute.
When you're young and ignorant, you might like a girlfriend who likes to cause trouble. But the current Wang Xiaoming only wants a gentle wife! So, sorry, Nayue-chan, I loved you!
Although we broke up, I'm still willing to treat you as my best friend!
“See, I asked you to help me, but you're unwilling. Alglolora can't go either, so I can only rely on myself.”
“You idiot, are you trying to die?”
“Of course not. Do I look like someone who wants to die?”
Wang Xiaoming shrugged.
“Could it be that you used to have a good relationship with these True Ancestors?”
Nangong Nayue didn't think that Wang Xiaoming could fight the First True Ancestor. The First True Ancestor's setting in this world was that of being invincible. This was a consensus. No one thought there could be anyone more powerful than the First True Ancestor. He had been invincible for seven thousand years!
If Wang Xiaoming could fight the First True Ancestor, she could only think of one possibility, and that was that Wang Xiaoming, this Cain, had a past with the First True Ancestor!
After all, True Ancestors and Cain were said to have been born in the same era, but almost everyone didn't know what the relationship between True Ancestors and Cain was.
Many people thought that True Ancestors and Cain were enemies. Some versions even said that True Ancestors were originally gods, and Cain was the ancestor of the demons. Cain was killed by the gods, and before his death, he cursed the gods. The gods fell into demons, and the three True Ancestors also fell from gods into True Ancestors, bearing the curse of immortality.
I have to say, the curse of immortality and such, if it were placed on otaku, they would probably be ecstatic: Huh? Immortality? Is there such a good thing?
“If you put it that way, my identity should be considered as not having a very good relationship with the other party.”
Wang Xiaoming roughly understood Nangong Nayue's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh.
“Then you still think you can fight the First True Ancestor?”
Nangong Nayue was dumbfounded. You're going even if you don't have a good relationship? Do you really think you can fight the First True Ancestor just because you control the Fourth True Ancestor? Are you crazy!
“Of course. This is what we planned from the beginning.”
As Wang Xiaoming said this, he raised his chin towards the sky next to him. In the sky, Leticia and the other two spread their black shadow wings and slowly flew over. Alglolora was also being carried over by Lamia.
“Master.”
After Leticia landed, she held the corner of her skirt and performed a perfect curtsy. After coming to this world, Leticia's maid soul seemed to have awakened. She wanted to do everything with absolute elegance. As long as there were others present, she would definitely take the maid's etiquette to the extreme and show it to the extreme.
According to her, as the head maid, she had to make her master, Wang Xiaoming, look good!
“Alglolora has already been brought over.”
Alglolora usually slept at home when she had nothing to do, and then when she woke up, she would go to Wang Xiaoming to ask for blood. After sucking blood, she would start her own energetic day, playing games with Lamia, playing online games. She was clearly the Fourth True Ancestor, the ideal king of the ideal country, but she gradually became a game otaku.
But fortunately, as long as Wang Xiaoming called her, she would immediately respond, put down the game in her hand and run over.
If you asked Wang Xiaoming which was more important, him or the game, you would get the answer that it was 100% Wang Xiaoming.
“Xiaoming-sama!”
Alglolora, who had been put down by Lamia, happily ran to Wang Xiaoming's side.
“Alglolora, are you ready?”
“Yes, Xiaoming-sama, Alglolora is ready!”
“Wait, didn't you say you wouldn't let Alglolora go?”
Nangong Nayue looked at Alglolora's appearance of going to the battlefield and couldn't help but question.
“Yes, I'm not letting Alglolora go to the battlefield, but I need Alglolora to help me with a favor.”
“Help with a favor?”
“You're stupid. The First True Ancestor's fleet is at sea. Are we going to let them land? Of course, we're fighting them at sea, so I need Alglolora to help me freeze the sea, and then slowly take them down!”
As Wang Xiaoming said this, he looked at Alglolora.
“Come on, Alglolora, freeze the entire southern sea!”
“Okay, Xiaoming-sama!”
Alglolora raised her right hand and turned to face the south.
“Come forth, Familiar of the Demonic Haze!”
Along with Alglolora's call, the twelfth familiar, with the image of a combination of a mermaid and a bird demon, appeared.
Alglolora pointed to the sea to the south.
“Freeze!”
430. Forgotten War King: No one believes in Wang Xiaoming more than I do.
Along with Alglolora's childish “Freeze!”, the magic of the Familiar of the Demonic Haze erupted. The terrifying freezing power directly pounced towards the sea, freezing all of the sea south of Itogami Island. The frozen area stretched out more than ten kilometers south of Itogami Island. Within the range that could be seen, it was all a vast expanse of white ice.
“Xiaoming-sama, is this okay?”
Standing behind the Familiar of the Demonic Haze, Alglolora looked up, looking at Wang Xiaoming with a face full of anticipation.
“Yes, Alglolora, you did a great job!”
His hand pressed on Alglolora's soft golden hair, gently rubbing it, causing Alglolora to shrink her head in enjoyment and smile happily.
“Hehehe~~”
“Alright, Alglolora, your task is completed. Next, you stay here and watch. Lamia, you stay here with Alglolora.”
“Hai~~ Leave it to me!”
As Alglolora's good sister, Lamia patted her chest to guarantee.
“Leticia, Lamia, come with me.”
“Yes, Master.”
