Maritin troops has quickly disembarked and poured into Imperial Port, gathering near the dock.

Caspar did not commit any burning, killing or looting.

Since Imperial Port didn't resist, he certainly wouldn't do anything excessive. After all, this would become his base for conquering Pendor.

Of course, armed searches are still necessary - what if there is an enemy ambush?

Although he is not too old, Caspar has been fighting for twelve years, so he still has the necessary caution.

But before he could issue any search orders, he encountered a friendly-looking "welcoming honor guard"...

A hundred or so militiamen, who looked like fresh recruits, were walking towards the pier from the direction of the Governor's Palace, carrying drinks and delicious food.

The leader is a beautiful woman.

Caspar felt a little dazed for a moment...

What's going on?

Tao eats a pot of pulp to welcome the king's master?

Are the people at Imperial Port so friendly?

Although this situation sometimes happened in Maritin in the past, it was usually after the villages and towns occupied by Gatu people were recovered...

Now it's Pande Continent...

Caspar looked around around the port and dock - there were bloodstains on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up, damage caused by arrows in the corners, the warehouse on the dock was in a mess, and most of the surrounding houses were damaged.

He could tell that Imperial Port had just experienced war, and a big battle had been fought here not long ago.

"Excuse me, is this His Majesty Caspar? Thank you for taking the trouble to come to rescue Imperial Port...Imperial Port Interim Consul Miss Alina expresses condolences to you and your troops..."

The beautiful woman walked straight towards Caspar and stopped in front of the assembled troops.

Rescue?

This...

Imperial Port people think I'm here to rescue them?

Caspar is really in a trance now.

He asked the soldiers to separate and walk in front of the beautiful woman.

She was a very beautiful girl, wearing a thin aristocratic satin robe with a ribbon tied around her waist, which highlighted her plump breasts and round hips. At her feet were Bax leather rope boots commonly used by aristocratic girls - the uppers of these boots were actually a grid-like hollow belt wrapped around the calf with a leather rope, which was a typical summer wear.

Seductive face, perfect body, seductive electric eyes...

Caspar swallowed secretly.

Most of his troops also suffered from laryngeal rolling.

"This... ma'am, may I ask your name?"

Caspar is quite polite when facing beautiful girls...

"I am the maid of Ms. Elina, Alina... Thank you for coming all the way, otherwise we would still be struggling to survive under the torture of the evil people..."

Elina bowed to Caspar with a smile on his face.

Caspar now probably understands what's going on - his fleet came over, probably scaring away another group of people who were originally entrenched in Imperial Port...

It seems that Imperial Port has been seriously harmed... Baxian thinks I am here to save them?

It seems that everything in the dream is true!

This will indeed be the starting point for me to conquer the world!

I am indeed the inheritor of His Majesty Kavala...

Before receiving the appointment of Emperor Amorian of Maritin, Caspar had a familiar dream.

In the dream, Supreme King of Pendor and Kavala, who was regarded as the "King of Conqueror" by Maritin people, told him that his future was in the Pande Continent.

This is not the first time Caspar has dreamed of Kavala. In the past ten years, whenever he encountered a difficult battle, as long as he prayed, Kavala would appear in his dream - and then he would fall into a deep sleep. When he woke up completely, the enemy had been miraculously eliminated.

Every time I wake up, there are always cheers of victory around me.

Caspar clearly remembers the night when he led troops on his first expedition when he was eighteen years old...

"Child, you have been shaking. Are you scared?"

"I am indeed a little scared... I never thought that fighting on the battlefield would be such a terrifying thing..."

"Don't worry, everyone is scared when they go to the battlefield for the first time. I was the same when I was your age."

"... who are you?"

"You have been praying to me for blessings every day these days, but you don't even recognize me..."

"Kavala Your Majesty! Oh my God... you responded to my request!"

"Hahaha... kid, do you want to become an invincible legend?"

"Of course!"

"Then, swear by your soul to accept my will... As long as you pray to me for help before the battle, you will get your wish..."

Since then, Kavala has become the 'God of War' in Caspar's heart.

And the War God Mars that his family originally believed in was thrown behind him.

He even replaced the statue of War God Mars with a statue of Kavala.

From then on, he won every battle, became a distinguished general, and expanded the family's power to an unprecedented level.

Since then, Caspar has become accustomed to winning by just praying, accustomed to winning without hesitation, and has gradually forgotten his original appearance.

From then on, Caspar began to imitate everything from Kavala - from the various biographies and legends he had read.

Upright and tolerant yet cruel and violent, gentle yet conceited and unruly...

Various legends and anecdotal records are always inconsistent, but Caspar feels that this is right - Supreme King is certainly different, tolerant and cruel, humble and arrogant at the same time, this is what a king should look like...

Therefore, Caspar himself must become this kind of 'unique king'.

Arrogance, arrogance, and domineering are actually inevitable. How can people who are used to winning by lying down tolerate any grievances - kill anyone who dares to make noises, but he can be killed anyway...

Even Emperor Amorion, Caspar thinks he can kill him...

But Emperor Amorian has always been very fair to Caspar. He will reward every meritorious service and has not let Caspar suffer any injustice. He really can't find a reason to kill him...

Moreover, although Kavala has always responded to requests, this time he did not agree to the question "Can I kill the emperor and proclaim myself emperor?" raised by Caspar.

Kavala warned Caspar in his dream that if he goes to the Pande Continent now, he can easily achieve great things without encountering any resistance.

But if you disobey the will and insist on fighting with the emperor, you will not only be called a traitor, but you may also get entangled in conspiracies and miss the opportunity for the conqueror.

On the one hand, they disobey the emperor's will and use conspiracy and power to fight for Maritin, and may be ruined;

The other side is to create a business from scratch, conquer Pande Continent, and become a true legend.

Of course Caspar must choose the latter - you can't ask for Kavala's help when engaging in conspiracy politics, after all, you can't sleep in the Imperial Palace and the court...

But if it is war and conquest, you only need to close your eyes and wait for victory!

So Caspar accepted the emperor's order and came Imperial Port.

Kavala is indeed right, now Imperial Port...

As soon as he came, he actually became the savior of Imperial Port?

Caspar seems to have seen himself become the new generation Supreme King.

When he looked at the girl in front of him again, he had already focused on her plump figure and delicate face...

"Miss Elina, are all the maids around Miss Alina like you?"

Even the maid is so beautiful?

Then how beautiful is Alina?

Caspar felt itchy in my heart.

"Haha... Your Majesty Caspar, Miss Alina is hosting a banquet at the Governor's Mansion waiting for you. You can go and see for yourself..."

Elina leaned forward slightly and bowed. The round curve that was just covered by the robe made Caspar swallow again.

"Ah... you go up to the city wall and control the key positions. The guards will follow me..."

Caspar ordered his troops to guard separately, and then raised his eyebrows at Elina: "Please lead the way, beautiful lady... By the way, if Alina marries me, will you come with me as a dowry?"

"Please follow me..."

Elina did not respond to Caspar's teasing, but still smiled and turned around to lead the way.

The militiamen placed the drinks in the pier square and then retreated in an orderly manner, leaving no one behind on the pier or the city wall.

This is indeed a completely defenseless stance towards them.

The atrium of the Governor's Palace is where Li Ang was lying down eating grapes.

But this time Li Ang was not lying down, and no one was waiting on him.

On the couch where he was originally lying on, eating grapes, there was His Majesty Caspar lying on his back.

The twenty or thirty scantily clad maids were also posing in front of Caspar.

"Your Majesty Caspar, now that Bacchus Empire is leaderless, it is a good time to make great achievements. We, brother and sister, are willing to follow Your Majesty and make contributions... We received your letter last year, but we have been looking forward to you for a whole year..."

Li Ang is 'surrendering' to Caspar with a smile that can be called humble.

"Ares, don't bluff me. Your father probably didn't agree to me at that time... I know he has a very good relationship with Emperor Marius..."

Caspar said lazily.

"Haha, yes... Father has always been reluctant to agree. But Alina and I will convince him, don't worry."

Li Ang laughed a few times and looked even more humble.

"Hmph, if your father doesn't agree, what should you say about Alina? By the way... where is Alina? Why doesn't she come out?"

Caspar glanced sideways at Li Ang.

"She is writing a letter to persuade her father... Your Majesty, you should understand that Elina went to the dock to invite you, actually just to help Alina see your appearance and temperament..."

Li Ang gave Caspar a 'you know' look.

"So...Alina himself is actually willing?"

Caspar suddenly became energetic.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen that Imperial Port's current hospitality should be enough to show the sincerity of Alina and I."

Li Ang nodded, but then seemed a little hesitant. "However, Your Majesty, there is something I must let you know..."

"Whatever you want, just say it."

Caspar probably thought that 'Ares' wanted to ask for a promise.

"It's not about what I want, but about Alina... Do you know the Li Ang of New Kingdom of Pendor?"

Li Ang pointed towards the north. "He might be a problem."

"I've never heard of New Kingdom of Pendor... but I seem to have heard of the name Li Ang. But, what's the trouble?"

Caspar really doesn't know about the founding of the People's Republic of China by Li Ang. After all, it has only been two or three months since the founding of the People's Republic of China by Li Ang.

"New Kingdom of Pendor is a newly established country by Lion Territory in the north. The king's name is Li Ang... That guy recently occupied a lot of territory in the empire through the war between the empire and Snake Worship Cult, and he also tried to forcefully marry Alina..."

Li Ang pointed at the map on the desk and made two gestures. "Now the north and east of Bax are all occupied by him, and the entire empire is in danger... The reason why my father has always disagreed with your request has something to do with that Li Ang."

"Speak clearly..."

Caspar frowned.

"Li Ang had already occupied important castles in the northern part of the empire the year before last, and the empire wanted to concentrate on fighting Snake Worship Cult, so it was difficult to spare its hands. For the safety of the empire, Li Ang must be stabilized, so His Majesty Marus sent Alina to Li Ang as a hostage the year before last - so my father could not respond to your letter at that time."

Li Ang explained seriously as Ares: "And this year, Li Ang is the king in Lion Territory. Taking advantage of His Majesty Marus was seriously ill, and Snake Worship Cult rebelled. In the name of jointly fighting Snake Worship Cult, he sent a large number of troops to the empire, and fought until Imperial Port..."

"It seems that Li Ang is not a good person. He is taking advantage of others' danger..."

Caspar curled his lips.

"Isn't that right... hiss..."

Li Ang patted his thigh, and then he gasped in pain - the injured area was torn.

"Ares, the injuries on your body..."

Caspar also saw that the injury was indeed serious.

"My injury was caused by that Li Ang!"

Li Ang gritted his teeth and said, "His Majesty Marus originally formed an alliance with Li Ang to deal with Snake Worship Cult, but he kept dragging his feet and letting the empire lose its troops. Some time ago, His Majesty Marus drove Snake Worship Cult out of Imperial Port, for this reason His Majesty Marus fought to the death! Seeing that Snake Worship Cult was about to be wiped out, Li Ang took the opportunity to lead his troops to occupy Imperial Port, and wanted to force Alina to marry him! This happened just two days ago, right here!"

Li Ang pointed to the recliner where Caspar was sitting.

The maids beside them all nodded in cooperation - Li Ang really didn't tell a single lie, everything really happened, and there were witnesses all over the Governor's Mansion.

"Oh? This is actually happening?!"

Caspar snorted and sat up from the recliner, "I also know that Alina is Emperor Marius's adopted daughter. That Li Ang seems very ambitious!"

"Yeah... if your fleet hadn't come Imperial Port, that bastard would still be here to force Alina..."

Li Ang thought for a while, and then asked hesitantly, "But there are actually only three hundred guards around him, and they are all heavy infantry, without horses. If you send a cavalry to chase him now, you may still be able to catch up..."

"He only has three hundred people? Are you sure?"

Caspar seems to be a little more interested.

"Confirmed! His main force is chasing Snake Worship Cult, and he only has three hundred heavy infantry around him. Compared with the remnants of Imperial Port, his guard's combat effectiveness is indeed very strong. There is nothing we can do against him..."

Li Ang nodded hurriedly. "But compared to your army, he is so small... His New Kingdom of Pendor has only been established for a few months. If you can catch him or kill him..."

"Coupled with Imperial Port and your Erudition City, I can get the entire Bax as quickly as possible, and I can also quickly conquer Lion Territory!"

Caspar suddenly jumped up from the recliner. "Ares, you should have said this earlier! Someone is coming! Prepare to attack!"
