C269 Prince Ivan
Previously, the People of Oca had brought back many high level mages from the Far North Ice Plain Battlefield. Almost all of these high level mages had arrived at the Shangjing City along with the Oca Diplomatic Corps.
Without even thinking about it, it was clear that the People of Oca had come to scare the emperor of Tiangong Empire.
With a clear understanding of People of Oca's strength, Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua both chose to retreat. They didn't even care about losing face for the Empire and the royal family and didn't want to hold that competition.
If he had to compete against someone weaker than him, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?
However, the emperor of Tiangong Empire, had truly been too useless for too long. This time, he was no longer willing to retreat.
At this time, Ye Tian continued, "So, according to this official's meaning, let's fight head to head. If we don't give in an inch, let's show our might to the People of Oca."
Hearing Ye Tian's words, the emperor's curiosity became even more intense. He asked, "How so?"
"I want to completely abandon the courteous reception before, and give it a martial treatment instead." Ye Tian said.
The emperor smiled and signaled Ye Tian to continue.
"Currently, our Divine Weapon Camp has already reached the size of three hundred people. This subject wants to let our Divine Weapon Camp display in front of our Oca Diplomatic Corps once, just a military ceremony. Please grant us your permission, Your Majesty." Ye Tian said.
"Oh? A parade reception? " The Emperor repeated, and his eyes emitted an expression of anticipation and surprise.
This was the first time the Emperor had heard of this new phrase. Firstly, the Divine Weapon Camp was specially approved by the emperor to be formed by Ye Tian's Imperial Household Department, it was an army independent of the Military Court. Secondly, it had already reached the size of three hundred people. Moreover, according to Ye Tian's intentions, he wanted to show off in front of the Oca Diplomatic Corps.
However, the emperor was also a little worried. If his Divine Weapon Camp did not have something he could take out, or if his military force and posture was lacking, it would become a joke in front of the People of Oca.
Looking at Ye Tian's determined expression, the emperor finally made up his mind. He nodded and said, "Alright, I agree. According to your meaning, we should abandon our previous ceremonial treatment and use this military parade to treat others with martial arts instead."
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Thank you, your majesty."
Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua, who were sitting at the side, both had a suspicious expression on their faces. They both glanced at Ye Tian at the same time.
This time, it was unknown what tricks this Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order, who was sent down by Wen Tianbi, was going to play.
Especially Qin Ruhua, he had specially instructed all the officials at all levels of Ministry of Rites Administration not to reveal the slightest bit about the ceremony at the Win Platform.
Unexpectedly, this Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order Jian was unconventional and did not follow the route that Qin Ruhua had designed for him. Instead, he opened up a new path for himself.
With a sigh in his heart, Qin Ruhua couldn't help but hit the sponge with his fist. He didn't feel any resistance at all.
At this moment, a long horn sounded from the west side of the Flowing Gold Avenue.
Everyone turned to look, the first thing that entered their eyes was the two rows of high stirrups that were placed in front of the Ministry of Rites Administration honor guard. The gongs and drums rang out, and silk bamboo was released. The host of Ministry of Rites Administration stood side by side in four rows, in the middle of which was an extravagant carriage that slowly drove over.
The shape of the carriage was completely different from the Central Plains. In Ye Tian's eyes, it was clearly a European medieval carriage style.
Right behind the carriage were two squads of people. One of them was wearing a mage robe, which looked very familiar to Ye Tian.
This square formation was from the Magic Spirit Mage Group that the seventeen people of Jade Lake Sect had seen when they passed through the Cloudfloat Outpost.
Following closely was another square formation. Judging from their attire and attire, the people in the phalanx were no different from the mages in the first phalanx. However, all the mages in this square formation ride a Unicorn. Just from the fact that the Unicorn was a level seven Devil Beast, these mages had the lowest level of Primary Magic Mentor. Therefore, the second formation was the famous Oca in the north.
When the carriage reached the Win Platform, the emperor and the other ministers all stood up and went to the front of the carriage, looking down at it from above.
At this time, the several dozen hosts of Ministry of Rites Administration were standing in front of the two sides of the stairs. The band Quinn also stood in two square formations, at the east and west sides of the Win Platform area.
The person in charge, Officer of the Ministry of Rites Administration, stood at the side of the stairs and dragged his long voice as he loudly said: "Prince of Oca, please come up."
The gongs and drums and the sound of the silk bamboo stopped.
After a short period of silence, a figure got out of the carriage. He first raised his head, looked at Emperor of the Tiangong Empire who was standing on the Win Platform, and then slowly walked over.
Ye Tian stared wide-eyed, looking at the Oca Prince who had heard of his great name for a long time, before finally appearing in front of him.
His skin was white, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could be broken with a blow. He was very tall, and his entire body was thin and long. His two dark blue eyes emitted a cold light. With a light cyan colored cloak draped over his body, Evan King Ka lifted his feet and walked up the Win Platform step by step.
Behind him, a few important members of the Oca Imperial Family also followed.
Very quickly, Prince Ivan walked onto the stage, walked along the long red carpet all the way to the center of the Win Platform. At that place, Emperor of the Tiangong Empire and Chu Hong were standing there and greeting him with a smile. Beside Chu Hong, the Imperial Family Member and the various ministers stood respectively.
A faint smile appeared on Ivan's face. He walked in front of Chu Hong, placed his right hand flat on his chest, and bowed as he displayed the Oca of a noble.
Chu Hong said with a smile, "Welcome Prince Ivan to Shangjing City. The journey is long, so you must have suffered a lot."
Ivan smiled and said, "I'm fine."
Then, Ivan's eyes shifted to Chu Yu, who was standing beside Chu Hong. He said, "Sister Chu Yu, after so many years of not seeing each other, you seem to have become like a fairy out of the water, falling like a goose and sinking into a fish."
Chu Yu chuckled and snatched Ye Tian from the side. She put her hand on Ye Tian's arm and said, "Thank you for your praise. This is my consort. His name is Ye Tian."
Ye Tian had been used as a shield by Chu Yu all of a sudden, and since he was in the arena now, there was nothing he could do. Ye Tian could only smile and say, "I've long heard of the prince's reputation, and I've finally seen his true face today. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The moment Chu Yu's hand grabbed onto Ye Tian's arm, Ivan's dark blue eyes unintentionally revealed a trace of disgust.
However, Prince Ivan did not even glance at Ye Tian. It was as if this Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order, whom Chu Yu called Prince Consort, did not enter Ivan's eyes at all.
After a short moment of awkwardness, Chu Hong extended his hand and made a "please" gesture. He smiled and said: "Please."
With that, Ivan and Chu Hong walked side by side to the wide chair in the middle of the room.
At the same time, the Imperial Family Member s and ministers of the two nations took their seats on either side.
Ye Tian also sat on the left side of Lin Chengzhou.
The heads of the two empires with the largest East Continent began a simple exchange of pointers. The issues involved were just a few scenes. The friendship between the two countries had been around for a long time, they were determined to maintain the peace against the war, and they had to negotiate more on the border. Ye Tian was getting drowsy.
After chatting for a while, the content of the conversation gradually got back to the main point.
Ethan said indifferently, "In the past few years, regardless of the number or level, the number of mages and warriors in Oca Empire have increased significantly. As of this year, our Demon Spiritualist and Holy Battlemaster had reached a total of one hundred thousand, and our Magic Mentor and Divine Warriors had also just broken through to one thousand. "
After saying that, Ethan stopped for a while, then turned his head to look at Chu Hong and continued: "Just last month, two of our Imperial Family Member s had just levelled up and became Primary Devil God Master and Primary Godly Martial Master."
The moment Ivan said this, the corner of Chu Hong's mouth trembled imperceptibly.
Honestly speaking, with Tiangong Empire of ten thousand Demon Spiritualist s and the strength of one hundred Magic Mentor s, compared to Oca Empire, the difference was at least ten times more. As for Primary Devil God Master and Primary Godly Martial Master, there wasn't even a single Tiangong Empire.
With such a disparity in strength, if there really was a conflict, the result could be imagined.
And when Prince Ivan purposely spoke of this fact on such an occasion, his goal was also obvious; it was no more than a threat and intimidation against Tiangong Empire.
Facing Ivan's direct threat, Chu Hong's face stiffened and he was speechless for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tian couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Warriors and mages are important, but if ordinary soldiers have advanced equipment and weapons, they can similarly restrain magic and martial arts."
Saying this, Ye Tian paused for a moment, then looked at Ethan with a playful look, and continued: "Your Highness should know, right? Before Beilao Pass, I'm afraid that many of the Oca soldiers died under my Pulley Type Steel Crossbow. The range is too close. No, no, I suggest you work hard to modify that Oca Longbow, otherwise, not only will your archers be useless, they will become our live targets. "
Hearing Ye Tian's mocking and ridiculing words, although Chu Hong looked calm on the surface, he could not help but laugh in his heart. He was already bursting with joy.
Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua didn't give him this ambition, but Ye Tian really helped him regain some face.
At this time, Prince Ivan turned his head and glanced at Ye Tian. A faint trace of fierceness flashed across his dark blue eyes. A tall People of Oca sitting beside Ethan laughed disdainfully, and said: "Pulley Type Steel Crossbow, it's only a small trick, it's still effective against normal soldiers, if my Sacred Battle Samurai Group were to fight, it would be useless to call you that Pulley Type Steel Crossbow."2
Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not like I only have Pulley Type Steel Crossbow s, I still have Core Crystal Rifle s. Your Lloyds, that so-called Sacred Battle Samurai Group, from the sound of it, it should all be Holy Battlemaster's level, right? Do you believe that if your Holy War Samurai Group were to fight against my Divine Weapon Camp, I can guarantee that you would be beaten to a pulp and that you would cry for your parents. "
Ye Tian's slightly vulgar words made Princess Chu Yu, who was at the side, almost laugh out loud.
Although First Princess Chu Yue maintained her dignified appearance, she couldn't help but slightly pout her lips as she forced herself to smile.
The tall People of Oca snorted coldly and stopped talking.
At this time, another People of Oca who was dressed in a mage robe spoke with a low voice, "Strange and obscene techniques are a side street after all, only magic and martial skills are the right path."
Ye Tian humphed and said, "Isn't there a martial arts competition tomorrow?" "I will show you all how lecherous and unorthodox you are so that you wouldn't be ignorant of it even though you are frogs at the bottom of a well."
