Chapter 365 Her Highness Met Her Fate Calmly

Snow Country was stormy and windy.

The confluence of the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean was calm.

We all lived in the hustle and bustle of the secular world. The most beautiful was the high alt.i.tude, and the quietest was the ocean.

If one looked at the world in the deep ocean 500 meters below, he would find that the world was like a frozen but slowly flowing picture, colorful and thrilling.

w.a.n.g Tianzong had been in this water world for three days.

He seldom enjoyed the scenery in the deep sea. Most of the time, he was silent or meditating, adjusting his state in silence.

Beneath his feet was a deep-sea submarine that cruised the Pacific and Arctic Oceans all year round. It was a new model developed independently and almost entirely by Beihai Province. The whole submarine was in the extreme style of the standard w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

It was a small-sized submarine, and its combat effectiveness was utterly negligible. At the beginning of the design of this submarine code-named “Cloud”, the designers never intended to endow it with any combat power. Most of the places where weapons could be added were converted into engine compartments, large or small. “Cloud” even sacrificed a lot of armor thickness to have a better stealth performance.

The entire w.a.n.g family of Beihai only had six such military submarines, forming three teams.

Not because it was too high-end for the w.a.n.g family of Beihai to afford, but because it was too extreme to find a buyer.

Such a submarine was utterly deformed. In terms of speed and stealth performance, Cloud was entirely at the top level in the world, but its combat capability and defensive power were the worst in the world. No country needed such military submarines.

Its only function was to be able to search for resources in the deep sea more quickly and comprehensively.

That was the only purpose for which the w.a.n.g family of Beihai developed it.

But now, “Cloud”, which was unpopular even inside the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, ushered in its most glorious moment since it had been on active service.

w.a.n.g Tianzong, Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State, had been waiting for three days quietly inside Cloud.

It was already late at night on July 29.

It was less than 48 hours before the official start of the maneuver between the two academies in Zhongzhou State.

It was the third day since w.a.n.g Tianzong appeared on the edge of the headquarters of the Samsara Palace.

The sea surface was calm.

So was the deep sea.

Cloud hovered quietly in the deep sea, motionless.

w.a.n.g Tianzong, who had spent most of his time meditating, opened his eyes from a small room, slowly came to the submarine cabin, and looked through the window to the deep ocean.

The deep ocean was not dark even at night.

Less than ten kilometers away, the lights from the headquarters of the Samsara Palace shone on the sea surface, and the dazzling blaze of lights directly penetrated the seawater. The sea area within tens of kilometers was bright and even dazzling under the hard light.

w.a.n.g Tianzong looked silently at the beam of light, which reached hundreds of meters into the deep ocean, calm and thoughtful.

“His Majesty…”

Xuan Ming appeared behind w.a.n.g Tianzong, wis.h.i.+ng to speak but stopping on second thought.

“Hmm?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong glanced at him. “How’s it going?”

As the head of all the intelligence agencies of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, Xuan Ming was arguably the most trusted subordinate of w.a.n.g Tianzong. This position was not very dazzling, but it was extremely sensitive. There was hardly a second family that had been as firm as a rock and on the rise after going through centuries of storms like the w.a.n.g family of Beihai in the whole Dark World. The intelligence system of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai was huge and complicated. Xuan Ming acted as a pair of hidden eyes of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai in this position, which was arguably one of the most powerful positions in the entire w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Xuan Ming glanced at w.a.n.g Tianzong.

His Majesty raised a general question, so he wasn’t sure what exactly he was asking.

Xuan Ming thought for a while and slowly said, “Snow Country is very lively. Or it can’t be more lively. Over the past three days, almost all forces, including the Fantasy World, the Knights Templars, the Jiang family of South America, the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, the Heroes’ Club, the EU Shadow Throne, the Dark Knights, the men in black of the Star State, appeared in Eastern Europe. The Besser Clan in Eastern Europe has now officially announced that the Knights Templars were their allies. And as time goes on, there’s bound to be more and more of similar things.”

The Besser Clan in Eastern Europe.

Before the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, the Besser Clan could be said to be one of the core components of the alliance. Its status was supreme in a small country in Eastern Europe. The collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance caused dramatic changes in Eastern Europe. The influential families in the alliance, which had never been united, fell apart. The Besser Clan cooperated with the Knights Templars, and there would certainly be other influential families choosing to cooperate with other forces.

Such cooperation seemed to be strengthening its own strength, but it was even hard for w.a.n.g Tianzong to predict the final outcome.

The situation was too chaotic. Even Sword Emperor had to be cautious in the chaos. The so-called Sword Emperor would also be easily crushed by the general trend if he were not careful enough.

w.a.n.g Tianzong took a deep breath and suddenly asked, “What is the att.i.tude of Snow Country?”

“Silent.”

Xuan Ming continued concisely, “Except for declaring Tyrant as a traitor, Snow Country has been silent.”

“How about Beihai Province?” w.a.n.g Tianzong continued to ask.

“It’s all right for now,” Xuan Ming answered without hesitation.

Even in the depths of the deep sea, he had been in constant contact with the outside world in the past few days. His phone had been ringing twenty-four hours a day. The great changes in the Dark World were just the beginning. w.a.n.g Tianzong’s carefulness and solemnity were transferred to him in the form of unending pressure and urgency.

“All right for now…” w.a.n.g Tianzong whispered to himself and sneered.

To be all right for now didn’t seem like a bad thing.

But that was not a good thing, either.

Beihai Province had a very special geographical location. The w.a.n.g family of Beihai possessed abundant resources and solid strength. Although it was in Asia, it was close to Eastern Europe.

During the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, the other superpowers in the Dark World may not have the energy to pay attention to the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. But none of the influential families from the Polar Ground Alliance came to the w.a.n.g family of Beihai for cooperation.

This kind of “safe” was enough to ill.u.s.trate some issues.

“Is there any news from Tyrant?” w.a.n.g Tianzong asked.

“No news for the time being. Tyrant was seriously injured by the Master of Samsara Palace that day, and there is no trace of him.”

Xuan Ming shook his head.

“Find Tyrant out.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong was silent for a while and then calmly said, “After you hear from him, go and visit him personally. Tell him that the w.a.n.g family of Beihai can heal his wounds and even lend him a murderous weapon. As long as he is willing to come to Beihai Province to recuperate, I can give him a chance to stage a comeback.”

Xuan Ming looked up in surprise.

It was not surprising that w.a.n.g Tianzong drew Tyrant to his side.

He was surprised that w.a.n.g Tianzong was willing to borrow a murderous weapon for Tyrant.

The 12 Murderous Weapons of the Dark World could be said to be the only force that could be compared with the Invincible Realm experts over hundreds of years.

Human Emperor, No. 1 murderous weapon, fired on the border three years ago after more than ten years of silence.

When the Night Spirit fell, Blue Sky Underworld sprayed sparks.

In the final battle of Heaven Capital, Legend of Qin and Shadow the Ripper had a confrontation.

More than a year ago, Dark Saint Spear became famous in Northern Europe.

Setting Sun injured Gu Xingyun seriously half a month ago.

Three days ago, after the gunshots of Mountain Shatterer, the Polar Ground Alliance completely collapsed.

Xuan Ming was shocked at the thought.

Only then did he realize that in just three years, half of the 12 Murderous Weapons in the Dark World were already in the state of energy storage at this time.

There were still five murderous weapons available.

Which one would w.a.n.g Tianzong borrow?

Almost without thinking, Xuan Ming already had the answer in his head.

If, for example, the Immortality Potion, the Devil Troop, and the Heaven Punishment Troop, all belonged to the resources of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, then the murderous weapon w.a.n.g Tianzong would borrow this time was the friends.h.i.+p that the w.a.n.g family once paid.

It was the universally acknowledged murderous weapon, which was second only to Human Emperor in the Dark World.

Its power was not as good as that of Human Emperor, but it was the fastest one among the 12 Murderous Weapons.

That was the universally acknowledged extreme speed.

w.a.n.g Tianzong drew Tyrant to his side.

Then Tyrant was an ally.

Who did w.a.n.g Tianzong want to attack, using his ally holding the murderous weapon with extreme speed?

Xuan Ming remembered the past of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai and experts at the peak of the Dark World, sighing inwardly.

To use former friends.h.i.+p to deal with former friends.h.i.+p?

He glanced at w.a.n.g Tianzong but only saw the absolute peace on his face.

Xuan Ming agreed in a low voice and sent a message, using his mobile phone.

He stood quietly behind w.a.n.g Tianzong, without moving.

“Hum?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong glanced at him.

“Your Majesty, today is the 29th.”

Xuan Ming’s voice was gentle. “The maneuver of the two academies in Zhongzhou State will begin the day after tomorrow.”

“There’s still time,” said w.a.n.g Tianzong slowly after staying silent for a while.

“What are you waiting for?”

Xuan Ming couldn’t help asking.

“Wait for someone.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s voice was cold. He asked suddenly, “What do you think is the form of the Samsara Palace in the Dark World?”

The puzzling question made Xuan Ming look blank.

He remained silent for a good while before whispering, “What form?”

“I do not know.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong shook his head. “But I am sure that whatever form they take, their existence is different from that of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. The Samsara Palace is too mysterious, and we have too little information about it. I can’t determine the form of it, so I can’t determine the value of this so-called headquarters. In that case, I am willing to waste some time waiting for something more valuable.

“What do you think the injured person would most like to do?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong answered the question himself. “Recuperation, of course, and in the safest place. Which place is safer than the headquarters of the Samsara Palace?

“It’s not far from Snow Country. I think the Master of Samsara Palace will come back.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong whispered, “That’s my goal.”

The dazzling light radiated in all directions with the headquarters of the Samsara Palace as its core.

The center of the delicate and beautiful island was an information hall that controlled the security of the entire island.

The light shone from the island to the surroundings. Wherever it pa.s.sed by, all the images appeared on the ma.s.sive screen in the information hall.

Not only the images but also some abnormal signal frequencies would also appear in the hall after radar detection.

So theoretically speaking, there was no target that could be hidden in the places covered by the glare emanated from the headquarters of the Samsara Palace, whether at high alt.i.tude or in the deep sea.

Unless the opponent’s technology was far beyond the radar scanning of the Samsara Palace.

More than a dozen technicians of the Samsara Palace were busy in the hall full of instruments, searching for all suspicious images and signals.

Everything was normal within tens of kilometers of the headquarters.

The images were normal.

The signals were normal, too.

A somewhat bald middle-aged man stared quietly at a small screen on the big screen.

On the screen, in the depths of the sea area less than ten kilometers from the headquarters, a dimly visible signal flashed slightly.

The signal was not suspicious, because the signal from the other party was exactly the same as the frequency of the signal from the radar of the headquarters.

The middle-aged man silently looked at the image in front of him and finally opened a communications window on the screen.

The communication was soon put through.

A tall, plump woman in a black cloak appeared on the screen, weak in breath and silent.

The middle-aged man looked at the figure on the screen, bent down respectfully, and said softly, “Your Highness, it is already confirmed that w.a.n.g Tianzong, Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State, has arrived at the headquarters and is now less than ten kilometers away from us.”

“Are you sure?”

On the screen, the tall woman under the cloak had a hoa.r.s.e voice.

“Yes. I’m sure,” the middle-aged man replied softly.

He looked up at the small screen where the signals were concentrated.

On the screen, the signal with the same frequency as that of the radar of the Samsara Palace flickered again.

Nothing special.

But that was exactly a proof of abnormality.

The rise of the Samsara Palace had been too short, and it was even difficult for 10 Samsara Palaces to catch up with one w.a.n.g family of Beihai on the basis of science and technology development.

Therefore, under normal circ.u.mstances, it was impossible for the Samsara Palace to search for the signal of the submarine code-named Cloud.

In fact, the signal sent by Cloud had been flas.h.i.+ng in the information hall of the headquarters of the Samsara Palace over the past three days, without changing its position at all.

That was not because of the advanced technology of the Samsara Palace.

The only explanation was that the radar used in the headquarters of the Samsara Palace was also the latest model developed by the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. Furthermore, it had not been sold to the outside world.

Therefore, the signal of Cloud and the signal feedback of the radar would be exactly the same.

Obviously, w.a.n.g Tianzong didn’t know this.

That was why he had been staying quietly in Cloud, waiting for the return of the Master of Samsara Palace.

The headquarters of the Samsara Palace already knew where w.a.n.g Tianzong’s submarine was located.

But the Samsara Palace did not intend to disappoint w.a.n.g Tianzong.

On the communications screen, the woman in a black cloak stood up and calmly said, “I’ll be right there.”

“Welcome…”

The voice of the middle-aged man was trembling, with inexplicable complexity.

He bowed deeply to the screen. “Welcome back, Your Highness.”

The communication was cut off directly.

But the middle-aged man did not straighten up for a long time.

Her Highness was indeed returning.

But this return was obviously of extraordinary significance.

In the information hall, one staff member after another stood up and left the hall in turn.

When the last staff member left, he asked subconsciously, “Doctor, don’t you evacuate?”

“No.”

The doctor, who was already bald in middle age, smiled. His face was gentle. “I’m tired. I want to rest.”

The last staff member hesitated and turned to leave.

The doctor turned around and adjusted the ma.s.sive screen behind him to the maximum.

Countless small screens and small images disappeared from the large screen.

The scene of the entire headquarters of the Samsara Palace was clearly reflected on the whole screen.

Undulating palaces, birds’ twitter, the fragrance of flowers, and the beautiful night.

A helicopter pa.s.sed through the night from far away and landed on the ground in the roar of rotors.

The hatch opened, and a figure wrapped in a black cloak slowly walked down.

She was tall and plump, but it seemed that her body was not upright because of her severe injuries.

“Welcome back…”

The doctor looked at the woman in black on the screen and muttered to himself, “Welcome to meet your fate…”

The return meant to meet her fate.

But she was so calm.
