Chapter 878: Chapter 666: So It Was Me After All!
Just like that, seven days had passed.
Many things had happened during these seven days.
On the third day, the Giant Beast Queen Isrile, who had been attacking the Hong En Empire, suddenly announced her allegiance to the Hong En Empire. She helped the Hong En Empire to fend off foreign enemies, while the Hong En Empire specially gifted an undeveloped primitive planet to Isrile to become the Beast Star.
This turn of events made all the nations of the plane gasp in astonishment. How troublesome the Beast Queen and her Giant Beast troops were could be easily understood just by looking at the beleaguered Azure Sky Empire. After all, it was not just the powerful beasts that were troublesome, but also the Phantom battleships that seemed to appear and disappear at will. With the addition of the Phantom battleships and the Beast Queen, the Emperor of the Hong En Empire specifically gave a public speech. Although the wording was subtle, the basic message was that it had been a long time since there was a change in the boss of this plane, and it was time for some other nations to take on more responsibilities.
At this moment, the Azure Sky Empire was being pressed at the edge of their space domain by the Nightmare Knight. When the Emperor heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief. After repeated verification, even the Emperor himself expressed complete incomprehension. Was the Beast Queen really bought off with just one planet? If only I had known, I would have bought her over long ago!
However, this was also because the Azure Sky Empire had been too dominant for too long, never placing others in their eyes, believing that any problem could be resolved by the military. But after hitting two snags in a row, they finally understood that they were far from being the strongest in this plane.
Five days after Zuo En entered Whitestar, the quietly stationary Whitestar also disappeared.
This immediately caused both the frontline fleet and the Emperor back home to panic. After all, the Crown Prince was on Whitestar. Where could Whitestar have gone? Could it have also defected to the Hong En Empire?
The Emperor of Azure Sky had never felt so tense.
Two days after the disappearance of Whitestar, the Nightmare Knight’s Whitestar suddenly appeared in the space domain near the capital of the Azure Sky Empire! This immediately caused panic in the Azure Sky Empire, with the defense fleet deploying in unprecedented numbers!
However, when Fang Zuo and Ruosha appeared in the Imperial Palace at the same time, everyone was somewhat baffled. What in the world was going on?
Subsequently, Fang Zuo, looking somewhat haggard but unable to hide his smug expression, knelt before the Emperor and loudly said, "Father! Miss Ruosha of the Nightmare Knight Order is willing to join our Azure Sky Empire!"
At these words, everyone in the Imperial Palace was completely stunned.
The Emperor looked at his son in amazement, and Fang Zuo also looked back at his father. The Emperor saw a very reassuring look in Fang Zuo’s eyes.
"Good! As the Emperor of the Azure Sky Empire, I welcome Miss Ruosha’s joining!"
And almost everyone wanted to know what exactly had happened during this short yet long seven days!
Everyone’s gaze shifted from Fang Zuo to Ruosha. Clearly, as another protagonist of this event, what role did Ruosha play, who was now right here?
At the moment, it was probably also the first time for most people to truly see Ruosha’s appearance.
A petite figure, fair skin, adorable looks, bright Big Eyes, paired with a simple but definitely not cheap-looking dress.
Was this doll-like cute little girl Ruosha? The Group Leader of the Nightmare Knight Order? Such a child?
At this moment, Ruosha’s face showed no excess emotion, or rather, there was a slight impatience. But she didn’t say anything or even offer a bow to the Emperor. Of course, during such times, the Emperor didn’t expect her to bow to him, as it seemed a bit like bullying a child to force such a cute child to bow to oneself—despite the fact that this "child" had just devoured one of his planets not long before.
The Emperor’s mind was filled with confusion, as was the minds of the Ministers. What exactly had happened? It should be known that the fleet sent to deal with the Nightmare Knight had not yet returned!
The Emperor considered himself very shrewd, but he found himself somewhat at a loss at this moment. However, he nonetheless issued successive orders, arranging accommodation for Ruosha along with a number of servants. As for what was to happen next, that would have to wait until after a detailed conversation with Fang Zuo.
Thus, today’s imperial meeting ended early, and the Emperor hurriedly took Fang Zuo to the study, locking the door behind them.
"Speak, my child! You are protected by the most stringent magic here. If you were threatened by the other party and had to make the wrong choice, I will absolutely not blame you," the Emperor said seriously, interpreting the situation as a potential conspiracy in which Fang Zuo might have been coerced by Ruosha.
However, Fang Zuo just laughed: "Father, please rest assured, there is no conspiracy involved in this matter. Ruosha has truly joined our Azure Sky Empire. As unbelievable as it may be, it is indeed true."
The Emperor was still skeptical: "What exactly happened? Tell me everything from beginning to end."
Fang Zuo nodded: "Actually, I should say I was rather lucky with this matter."
The truth was, Fang Zuo had regretted boarding the airship from the moment he got on. Although he had previously dealt with Ruosha, he knew very little about her apart from the fact that she was a young girl with a rather capricious temper. So, what was he supposed to say, charging over there so rashly?
Filled with such trepidation, Fang Zuo landed on Whitestar. Then, in his bewilderment, he opened the airlock door, and the sudden loss of pressure nearly killed him right then and there.
