Chapter 684: 684
Ah Fu Has Sonar
Regarding the diplomatic conflict with the Arcane Magic Council, the shogunate gathered again.
“I thought about it for a full three minutes, but I still can’t figure out why the council is here to cause trouble again.”
Kang De said to Hong San.
” What’s going on?” Hong San flipped through the docunt and frowned.” There must be sothing fishy going on.”
At first, it was the dragons who sent the news, saying that the Arcane Council’s economic and trade departnt was summoning the person in charge of the Broken Islands in Turashaye. The Ministry of Wealth discussed it for a while and felt that the Arcane Council did not have the courage or need to take over the overseas assets of the Broken Islands, so they decided to leave the matter for observation.
After that, it was ti for diplomatic contacts. The representatives of the council officially sent the greetings from the Starry Council to the Kant shogunate. The council mbers were deeply concerned about the series of events that had happened in the Broken Islands and expressed their concern about the teor shower that had fallen from outer space. This was because the lessons of history had shown that most of the unknown substances from other dinsions and the universe were gifts from demons with ill intentions.
Therefore, in order to be responsible for Distant Harbor, Goethe, and even the entire continent, the Council hoped that Kant could explain to the countries on the continent and submit samples of the objects that fell from outer space so that the Council could determine whether they were harmful or not. The Council would then decide on the follow-up actions, such as destroying, sealing, or using them.
Tina ignored the Council’s words. After all, Kant and the Council had been at odds for a long ti. The first ti they had been at odds with each other was the Dragon Tribe’s diplomatic mission. The Council had used the sa excuse to be aggressive and even humiliate Goethe. But now, the situation was different.
” Emissary, please convey my gratitude to the Starry Sky Council. The council has protected the peace of the continent for many years. Everyone is grateful.”
At that ti, Princess Goethe said with a smile,” But whether my fiancé is responsible for Goethe and Distant Port, Goethe’s subjects will have their own judgnt. There is no need for the council to decide. As for whether the falling object is harmful, he must have his own opinion. Moreover, we will invite scholars and experts from the Dragon race and Sunset Moon to jointly observe and judge. There is no need for the council to worry.”
” However, Distant Harbor has always treated the entire world with the concept of opening and sharing. We respect knowledge, and we advocate wisdom. If the experts and scholars of the Arcane Magic Council are also interested in Kant’s spoils of war, please send an application to the Departnt of Truth. We welco the top scholars of Torashaya to co to Distant Harbor to contribute their wisdom and play their due role in the history of the civilization of the entire world.”
It was necessary to be appropriately tough and hostile.
After all, the Azure Fleet incident had caused a lot of unhappiness. Kant was now using the power of the Sun Forbidden Spell to intimidate the world. Naturally, he had to speak very loudly.
If they were still smiling at the council, agreeing to all their requests, and being polite under such circumstances, the counciln would probably panic and think that Kant was definitely plotting sothing terrifying in private.
They would only be at ease if he was tougher with them.
– Bitch.
With a gun and a stick, the envoy of the council was left with a red face.
But this ti, the ssenger of the Cradle Country of Magic and Arcana did not say anything harsh.
They had already restrained all their arrogance.
Perhaps the tis had really changed.
The Arcane Magic Council’s pride, the absolute advantage in academia and technology, as well as the absolute authority in the supernatural realm, no longer existed.
Tina didn’t take the envoy of the council to heart either. She was also waiting for the follow-up.
In the eyes of the shogunate, under the deterrence of the Forbidden Spell, the arrogant Arcane Magic Council had no choice but to accept the fact that they had failed when the dragons and elves had entered the arena.
They had to pinch their noses and pay a considerable entrance fee, sign many unfair agreents, and send their best experts and scholars to the distant port to participate in the research of the Ilan Tyre substance. They had to send their best scholars to work for free in the distant port and share the precious research results unconditionally. They also had to spend a lot of money to import these three legendary substances from the distant port for dostic developnt and manufacturing.
The two departnts of Wealth and Truth had already started to formulate an export plan.
He didn’t want money, he wanted people, he wanted technology, he wanted resources.
Technology transfer, equipnt export, personnel employnt…They tried their best to take advantage of the countries.
This idea originated from the eting held when the four shogunate divisions were established. Kant gave a secret report and instructions at the eting, which stated that the distant port had to rely on its advantages in technology, economy, and ideology to expand its trade surplus and suck blood from the entire continent. It had to earn their wealth, acquire their wisdom and industries, attract their talents, and defend this free trade with force.
And the Arcane Magic Council was listed as the next main competitor and potential war target.
In the eyes of the shogunate officials, the council had beco a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
However, at noon today, the Ministry of Peace issued a warning.
The Azure Fleet is approaching the Broken Sea.
He was shocked.
When it ca to military power, it was no longer sothing that the shogunate could make their own judgnts and decisions. Kant was urgently asked to return, and relevant reports and intelligence began to be gathered. Everyone was surprised to find that the Arcane Magic Council’s attitude was extrely unyielding, and there were even signs of military action.
.. Why?
Even soone as tyrannical as Da Linzi could only withdraw his troops in disgrace from iran in the face of Du Youguang’s atomic bomb warning. He only dared to speak loudly after he developed his own nuclear weapons.
How could the council be so dumb?
Kant looked around his shogunate.
“Doesn’t the council know that I know kung fu?” he asked. Are they always this brave?”
” This isn’t a matter of courage. It’s a matter of motivation.” Hong San thought for a mont and replied,” From the incident with the Azure Fleet, we can see that the council has been keeping a certain degree of restraint in consideration of the threat of His Highness ‘forbidden spell. However, they are not restrained and still make threatening and tough actions to a certain extent…But things are different now.”
He paused for a mont and continued,” They were tough in the Azure Fleet incident because a main fleet was of great significance. Losing the Azure Fleet would an a heavy blow to the council’s sea power. They would lose their power projection to the Western Sea, and the losses they would suffer would be incalculable. Therefore, even if they had to offend His Highness, they had to try their best to save this fleet.”
“But this ti is different.”
” This ti, at least we don’t know the reason why they are so unyielding.”
” But this reason must be important enough for the Arcane Magic Council to take the risk of using a forbidden spell to threaten us,” Tina said softly.
Kant thought for a mont and nodded.” That makes sense. The main thing is that they are in a hurry.”
He said,” I’ve set off such a big firework. The Emperor and the Chairman must be extrely afraid and want to kill as soon as possible. However, even if they want to kill and deal with , they have to think of a way to deal with the threat of the Forbidden Spell first. At the very least, they have to have a plan and ans to resist it…They have to solve this problem first before they dare to deal with . This problem definitely can’t be solved in a few days.”
Everyone nodded.
” In that case, there are two possibilities for them to be in such a hurry to make a move.”
The officials were all ears.
“First place.”
Kant looked at everyone.” They’re the Star Palace’s dogs. At least so of the higher-ups are. They’re just like the Island Master of the Broken Islands.”
” Dogs don’t follow logic when they do things. The only logic is what their master wants them to do, so they don’t consider the gains and losses. They don’t care about the serious consequences of this matter, nor do they care about the war in the mortal world or the council being beaten to a pulp. This is just the master’s mission.”
At this point, the tal face suddenly let out a soft stifled laugh.
Kant glared at her.
The conference room was silent.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
“This…” Leona only found out what the Star Palace was in the past two days. She muttered,” That’s not possible, right?”
“How is it impossible?” Kant said slowly,” If we don’t say anything, who in this world would know that the pioneers and rulers of the Broken Archipelago, which controls the trade hub of the Western Sea Region and flows with wealth and dreams, are traitors who have worshipped the Star Palace for generations and caused chaos and evil in the mortal world?”
He looked into everyone’s eyes.” The Star Palace is powerful. They look down on the mortal world from the clouds. Could it be that their chess pieces and arrangents are only in the Broken Islands? If the Star Palace is secretly manipulating the Broken Islands, how do we know that the Empire, the Council, and even the Sunset Moon Dynasty don’t have the Star Palace?”
No one said anything.
He felt a chill in his heart.
They were different from Kant. They were all natives of another world. They had grown up knowing the power of these three superpowers. The humans of the Empire were the rulers, the Council was the helmsman of the Arcane Path, and the elves were the hegemons of the world, shaking the four seas. If these superpowers had the shadow vines of the Star Palace attached to them…
Kant looked at the silent crowd and chuckled to himself.
It was still too rare.
We Earthlings have been making up conspiracy theories and saying that the US governnt is controlled by aliens for at least a few decades. I wouldn’t be surprised if you told that Ah Chuan was promoted by an evil force that wants the world to be in chaos.
” That’s unlikely. At least, the Star Palace’s influence isn’t that serious.”
Dong Tianming, who had been silent all this while, spoke slowly.
” If half of the council has been corrupted by the Star Palace, the Azure Fleet will join forces with the deep-sea monster during the Battle of the Broken Islands…They didn’t do that, and the Council didn’t take advantage of the situation, saying that the Star Palace’s control over the Council wasn’t that strong. If it wasn’t that strong…”
” The Azure Fleet’s deploynt this ti is definitely not the result of the Star Palace’s forceful push,” Mr. Dong said.” If we want to convince the parliant mbers to agree to send troops, we must have a plausible motive.”
Kant thought for a mont and understood. He nodded.” You’re right.”
” However, Your Highness’s words are reasonable. We must be alert.”
Dong Tianming’s voice beca low.” I’ve been there before. The Star Palace’s influence on the mortal world is beyond our imagination.”
” Especially after the Battle of the Broken Islands, the Star Palace suffered such a huge loss. They are afraid of Your Highness ‘Forbidden Curse, so they won’t easily descend into the mortal world. However, they will use their usual tricks to incite war in the mortal world, causing the mortal races to kill each other and fight each other. At this ti, the chess pieces they have placed in the mortal world will play their due role…Perhaps this will be the reason for the next war.”
“Please investigate, Your Highness,” he said solemnly.
“I’ve already thought about this problem. The interrogation of the Broken Islands Island Master is still ongoing. We will squeeze out everything we want to know from that old man.”
” The Tribunal is also establishing a branch departnt,” Kant said calmly.” They specialize in searching for and hunting down the Star Palace’s lackeys who are hiding in the mortal world and are in high positions. The war has already begun.”
Dong Tianming’s eyes flashed with hatred.
He cupped his hands.” I have a few students who are good at this. I also have a few servants. Please join the court to eliminate these traitors of the mortal world.”
Kant hesitated for a mont. He glanced at Horus.” The prerequisite is that they pass the test.”
“They were born for this,” Dong Tianming bowed and said.
” Then, back to the original topic. What exactly does the council want?”
Kant rubbed his chin.” Since the first possibility isn’t very likely, then the second possibility is that they sent soone to ask about Ilan Tell’s legacy. They also sent the Azure Fleet to the Broken Seas. The dragons even said that they are in contact with the person in charge of the Broken Islands in Turashaye…”
“Are they interested in those legendary materials?” Tina asked softly.
“This is not a level that I’m very interested in. With these three thods, I’m afraid we’ll have to snatch it openly.”
Kant smiled.” It’s a three-pronged approach. The feeling they give is not ‘Oh, what’s falling from the sky? I’m curious and want to study it’. Instead, it’s’ I know what good things they are and I know how to use them. I have to get them no matter what.'” He has a very strong purpose.”
“Could it be that they know what it is?” Hong San asked.
Kant nodded happily.” The chances are high. Don’t forget, after the Azure Fleet t with an accident, they panicked and we figured out so things.”
“They secretly sent a submarine over to observe in secret, but it ended up in an accident. They probably bumped into that deep-sea giant beast, and then the coordinates of the fleet were obtained. According to the ti when the giant beast ca out of the water, the submarine definitely did not encounter the giant beast that was swimming halfway, but accidentally found the giant beast’s nest.”
“What’s in the giant beast’s nest?”
” I’m guessing that the council definitely knows.”
Kant smiled.
“Then there are only two reasons why they took the risk.”
” Firstly, with the Council’s background and historical records, they guessed that the behemoth was the destroyer of the Ilan Tell civilization. They knew that the strange substance that fell from the sky was the source of power that allowed Ilan Tell to build its peak era. That was why they were so blinded by greed that they even wanted to rob it openly. I guess that the Azure Fleet went to the Broken Seas with such shaless intentions.”
” They want to take advantage of the chaos to salvage so legendary materials floating in the sea.”
“Second…”
Kant’s smile grew brighter.” Secondly, the lair of the Behemoths is the ruins of Ilan Tell. There are things that are far more valuable than the three Legendary materials inside. They want to monopolize it secretly, but they are afraid that I’m also searching for the lair of the Behemoths. So, while they are stirring up trouble on the surface to attract my attention, they are secretly working underwater. They are secretly making a fortune and taking the opportunity to monopolize Ilan Tell’s inheritance.”
This guess was very close.
Everyone present was smart, but no matter how smart they were, they could only make inferences based on the information they already had. They could not calculate so things out of thin air.
That was why they could imagine that the Council’s wrecked submarine had gone to the nest of the Behemoths, but they did not expect that the Ilan Tell civilization was still alive and had picked up the communication equipnt on the submarine and contacted the Council. Such a coincidence was not sothing that human intelligence could associate.
They nodded in agreent. Kant’s analysis made sense.
Hong San had thought through the whole thing from beginning to end, and there were no logical loopholes.
“That’s very likely.” He said seriously,” Then, what should we do next?”
Kant laughed.
Everyone laughed at his reaction. Every ti Kant smiled like that, it ant that sothing terrible was about to happen to a certain person or organization.
“If they want to act, we’ll act with them.”
The Earthling laughed.” We have to film the entire process and make it into a movie or docuntary. The title will be ‘Great Chairman’s Brilliant Plan to Stabilize the World, Losing the Fleet and Running in vain.'”
“Lost the fleet?” Tina laughed.
Kant nodded and said,” Yes, I’ve t the Azure Fleet before. They were sent by the representatives to fight for their lives, and they were very angry. Now, they’re doing this again. The representatives in Turashaye just opened their mouths, and they’re going to the Broken Islands to eat my forbidden spell. They must be very unhappy. This is the best ti to sow discord and poach people. We lack talents the most now, so the more the better.”
“So, let’s get started.”
” In terms of diplomacy, the Unity Departnt can continue to quarrel with the council. They can drag the dragons and elves into the quarrel.”
” Regarding the acquisition and reorganization of the overseas assets of the Broken Islands, the Ministry of Wealth will cooperate with Siegel Company to speed up the progress. If the council supports the lackeys of the Broken Islands to co out and fight, let the court work.”
” The Azure Fleet is approaching the Broken Islands. Leave it to the navy. Fu, I’ll send your main body to the Broken Islands. From now on, you’ll stay here and resist the Azure Fleet.”
“My lord, what do you think happened underwater?” Dong Tianming asked. The council will definitely mobilize submarine equipnt to sneak into the giant beast’s nest. We don’t know the exact location…”
“No, we will know.”
Kant looked at Ah Fu, who was smiling sweetly.
” When you get there, turn on the active sonar system at the bow of the ship, release the anti-submarine helicopter, release the coordinates, turn on the radar, and start a continuous search of the broken sea.”
“Understood!” Ah Fu saluted.
Of course, the Horizon class frigate also had anti-submarine combat capabilities.
These idiots from the council were really funny.
Later generations have a poem praising: The speaker’s wonderful plan to stabilize the world, secretly digging graves in Chencang, not that the submarine is useless, but Fu has sonar.

[PS 1: Upgraded…]
” P.S. 2: I went to bed around 8 pm last night, but I woke up at 1 pm. When I went back to sleep, my brain was super active for so reason, and it automatically created a board ga system in my head. I lay in bed until 2 pm, which was equivalent to playing Monopoly in my head for an hour…
[Ps3: After regaining his senses, he cald down and forced himself to sleep until four o’clock. After that, he continued to sleep. He probably didn’t fall asleep until six o’clock. He got up to write…] The conclusion was that he hadn’t slept enough at all because he had been breaking out in a cold sweat while writing. Moreover, he yawned and his mind was dizzy. Sigh, what was going on…
