Another Technological World!
[Bang!]
Inside the council chamber of Tristain Palace.
Military generals and political elites gathered urgently in response to the Kingdom of Regan Zista's declaration of war.
Cardinal Mazarin slammed his fist on the table in Wrath, ignoring Duke Marianne standing beside him and Princess Henrietta standing next to him, and shouted:
"I told you long ago, we should capture the Prince of Wales and send him over immediately. It's obvious they declared war because we sheltered him!"
General Bouillé of the military nodded repeatedly.
"Indeed, but it's not too late. Send an envoy immediately and say that we are willing to hand over the Prince of Wales!"
Although he was a general, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and there was no need to fight at all.
Besides, why should we risk our lives for a foreign prince?
"But the declaration of war from the Kingdom of Regan Zista made no mention of the Prince of Wales. Doesn't that mean that his target isn't him at all?"
Princess Henrietta spoke hastily.
"Hmph, the other side is a traitor. Do you think we can openly demand the return of the previous prince? They are clearly using war to threaten us into handing over the Prince of Wales!"
"The Chief Justice of the High Court, Lishman, scoffed."
"Alright then, let's first take control of the Wales prince and his entourage, and then send an envoy to negotiate with the Kingdom of Regan Zista."
After a moment of contemplation, Duke Marianne, seated on her throne, issued the order.
"Mother!!"
Duke Marianne waved to stop Princess Henrietta from speaking, staring into her anxious eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "I think you should know what war will bring, future Queen Henrietta."
"This"
Princess Henrietta opened her mouth but couldn't speak, and finally could only close her eyes in anguish.
"And what about the people the Prince of Wales brought with him? I heard they're adventurers from an overseas island nation, and they're currently visiting the Magic Academy?"
At this point, an official mentioned Biba Amatori and others.
"The Kingdom of Regan Zista's target is the Prince of Wales; they probably have little interest in them, right?"
"I think we should control them. They must have helped the Prince of Wales before, and might have offended him in the process. Why not just pack them up and send them over together!"
"But the other side seems very strong. It's said that our Griffin Magic Guard Captain, Wardes Valut, was defeated by them before. I don't think we should provoke them now."
"Hmph, nonsense! What's so great about a bunch of commoners who can't even learn magic? I think the only one worth paying attention to is that Alchemists!"
The high-ranking officials and generals present argued back and forth, with some even slamming their fists on the table, making the atmosphere extremely noisy.
Ultimately, it was Fleet Admiral Grammont who made the final decision.
"Then that's settled. Let them stay at the Magic Academy for now. If they cooperate, there's no need to offend them too much. If they resist, then arrest them and put them in jail!"
The parliament adjourned, and not long afterward...
The dormitory where the Prince of Wales and Anderson were located was Magic Knight Order.
Then, under the restraint of the Prince of Wales, he was taken to a dark and damp prison.
At the same time.
The Kingdom Guard arrived at the Magic Academy and, accompanied by Aulder, issued a house arrest order to Biba Amatori and the others.
This displeased Levi, who gripped the Half-Blade Knife at his waist with a dark expression, which alerted the Kingdom Guard.
Are you trying to resist?
Captain Cruz roared, and instantly, the surrounding kingdom guards drew their 'magic swords' from their waists.
This made the atmosphere at the scene extremely tense.
Fortunately, Biba Amatori shook her head and smiled gently:
"Of course not, we are happy to abide by the rules of this country, but I personally think it's a waste for you all to stay here."
"Because the Kingdom of Regan Zista's goal is not the Prince of Wales at all, but to conquer the entire Halkeginia Continent, they will absolutely not accept peace talks."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Cruz, Aulder Old, Louise, Louise Saito Hiraga, and the others were all greatly shocked.
What makes you say that?
Captain Cruz frowned and demanded.
"This is a complicated explanation, but it's basically that our companions who stayed in the Albion Kingdom happened to film their mobilization meeting. Take a look, everyone."
As she spoke, Biba Amatori took out a small Den Den Mushi from her pocket, pressed a few buttons to set up video playback, and introduced, "This is a kind of monster from our homeland that can reproduce the footage we record."
Soon.
The Den Den Mushi's eyes emitted light that projected into the air, forming a rectangular virtual screen.
This elicited gasps of surprise from Louise and the others, and even Saito Hiraga from the Modern World was visibly shocked.
"A snail actually functions as a projector!"
But everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the images on the screen.
Inside, a large, dark crowd was gathered around a castle; judging from their attire, they were likely knights and soldiers.
A woman with a slender figure, sexy attire, and an imposing presence, with black hair and purple eyes, stood on the edge of the upper floor and delivered a speech to everyone.
This must be the governor named 'Sheffield'.
However, the content was filled with extreme fanaticism regarding religious beliefs, which made many people present show their displeasure. But when she finished speaking, everyone had to admit that Biba Amatori was right.
"Our proud holy warriors of Regan Zista!"
"Let the entire Halkeginia Continent come under our banner, starting with the Tristain Kingdom in the center of the continent. However, we, in our mercy, will grant them a chance to surrender!"
"If they refuse, we will conquer them with our swords, our guns, our cannons, and our magic!"
The recording was nearing its end at this point, and soon the screen turned into a black dot and disappeared from everyone's sight.
However.
The atmosphere at the scene was so oppressive it was suffocating.
Because they already knew that war was inevitable, and war meant death, and the Tristain Kingdom was in a weaker position.
"Captain Cruz, what are you waiting for? Shouldn't you report this situation immediately?"
Biba Amatori smiled slightly.
"Ah, right, right, no, I can't go alone, you have to come with me!"
Captain Cruz realized that few people would believe him if he said it himself, so he had to show the adults the footage he had just seen.
"Of course, no problem."
Biba Amatori readily agreed.
His plan required the Prince of Wales to reclaim the Albion Kingdom.
However, this process cannot be too easy, which is why it was suggested that he come here for help, so that the Tristain Kingdom could also be involved, and at the same time, to see the strength of the continental kingdoms.
However, Biba Amatori is not prepared to lend a hand unless absolutely necessary.
As for Saito Hiraga, that was a completely unexpected bonus.
However, he has a decision on something that he is struggling to make.
If a solar eclipse does occur, should we send someone to accompany Saito Hiraga to that 'technological world'?
Their mission was to explore this 'Magic World,' so it wouldn't matter if they didn't interfere, but they were also somewhat unwilling to do nothing at all.
