Shen Tang decided to go to the appointment.
She wanted to see what kind of trick that Liu Ye was planning.
The heavy snow that had been falling for days finally stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, with sunlight spilling onto the distant ice-blue horizon. Snow piled up along the shoreline, and the sea was as calm as a mirror, shimmering with fine golden light.
The Imperial Army stood neatly at the shore, led by a young man with orange hair who appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. With a handsome and refined appearance, he had already reached the Seventh Rank. He was Hu Yun, who had recently been promoted to Major General.
Ever since his talent was enhanced to A+ Level using the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, Hu Yun’s strength improved rapidly, reaching the Seventh Rank within a year. He was transferred from the remote Greenfield City to the Imperial City and appointed as a Major General.
Hu Yun was personally mentored by Shen Tang and was very loyal to her, so Shen Tang simply arranged for him to stay by her side.
Hu Yun looked at the slender figure ahead, a hint of longing flickering in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed this emotion.
He pressed his right hand on the gun holster at his waist and quickly walked up to Shen Tang, respectfully asking, "Your Majesty, we’ve been waiting here for half an hour. Should we continue waiting?"
Shen Tang gazed at the calm sea and suddenly felt something, saying softly, "They’re here."
The originally calm sea suddenly surged, as if split open by a giant axe. The sea water lifted into walls of waves tens of meters high on both sides, and a group of Sea Clan soldiers lined up to come ashore.
They wore clothing unique to the Sea Clan, their skin marked with scales or bestial features, and they held long spears as they neatly formed two lines and walked ashore.
This setup didn’t seem like a welcoming party; it looked more like an arrest.
The expressions of Hu Yun and the others turned grim, sensing something was off but unable to pinpoint it.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Shen Tang. Prince Jia Lan has specially sent us to receive you," the leading Beastman glanced at the army behind Shen Tang and said respectfully with a smile, "However, Prince Jia Lan mentioned he only wants to meet with you alone, so we’re only taking you. We kindly ask the generals and soldiers to wait here."
Hu Yun and the others’ expressions immediately turned sour. They weren’t unaware of the recent rumors; everyone understood that this meal was far from simple.
A monarch entering the territory of another nation alone is too risky!
