The port of Gyia, the largest port in the kingdom of the Morning Star Elves. Gyia Port is located at the frontier of the Star River Delta and controls the entrance to the Star River. Gyia Port is a deep-water port with a water depth of 30 meters, even aircraft carriers can dock there. The Star River is the largest river in the Morning Star Kingdom and originates deep in the Whispering Forest. It enters the sea from Gyia Port and has twice the volume of the Yangtze River.
The prosperity of Gyia Port did not disappear despite the withering of the ancient elf trees in the kingdom of the Morning Star Elves. On the contrary, there were not a few humans and elves who wanted to make a fortune in the crisis, and Gyia Port remained prosperous.
Suddenly, someone noticed a huge black shadow slowly approaching from the horizon. The outline of the shadow should be a fleet of ships. Gradually, the shadow became clearer, and people became more and more afraid because it was too big. The largest ship they had ever seen in their lives was not as big as the smallest ship in the fleet.
A sense of panic was spreading, and no one knew where the fleet came from or why it came. Sharp warning sirens sounded in the port, and dock workers threw down their goods and stood dumbly, not knowing what to do.
"Don't you think this welcome is a bit too enthusiastic?" Edgar stood in the control room, looking at the scene on the large screen and smirked, proudly said.
"Your aircraft carrier is also too big! Who wouldn't be frightened when they see it!" Alice gave Edgar a scornful look, knowing full well that her battleship was too large to fit into the port, yet he insisted on sailing all the way there - it was pure showboating on his part.
Edgar smiled and looked at the large screen, saying, "In any case, I am a prince of a kingdom, so when I come to your elf kingdom, I can't be too humble!" It was true that Alice had said exactly the right thing, and Edgar was indeed showing off his strength.
In any country, a weak nation has no diplomacy. This principle applies everywhere. Don't think that elves are all nice. According to Edgar's understanding, the elf society is probably in the early stages of feudalism, with nobles, commoners, and slaves. There are also power struggles and bullying among elves. If Edgar didn't display enough strength, he wouldn't get the elves' attention.
"Get all the Griffin Knights in the air. Did we bring the Kalinin airship? Let it join in the fun too! Show off our strength!" Edgar chuckled malevolently, ignoring Alice and Nicole's complicated expressions and instructing Captain Kane.
The Kalinin airship is a derivative of the current research on flying airship carriers, a copy of the Soviet Kalinin airship. However, the new Kalinin airship has more ammunition and a faster speed, and the dragon pattern on the airship is painted in five claws, making it look even more imposing.
Half an hour later, the carrier strike group had arrived at the port of Jia. The port of Ceya is now deserted of workers, with soldiers armed with guns and swords patrolling the docks, and wizards clutching their wands tightly.
However, the performance of these soldiers and wizards is far from satisfactory. The huge warships looming in the distance and the dragon riders flying overhead make them too intimidated to put up any resistance.
"Alice Princess, perhaps you should go and talk to them," Edgar said, standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the soldiers and wizards on the shore and at Alice.
"Fine then!" Alice nodded, realizing that it was her turn to step forward.
"Reno, prepare the helicopter! Nico, come along too!" Edgar thought for a moment and called over Reno, giving him a few gentle instructions.
In a minute, a helicopter slowly took off from the aircraft carrier and landed on the dock, much to the astonishment of the soldiers and wizards. They dared not attack the strange bird, not only because their superiors had not given them any orders, but also because they feared the retaliation of the huge ship in the sky. Even without those reasons, the constant circling of dragon riders in the sky was no laughing matter.
"I am Alice Starlight Princess. Who is in charge here?" Alice jumped off the helicopter and approached the soldiers on the dock, asking.
"You are Alice Princess, what's your proof of identity?" A middle-aged man in his thirties stepped forward, looking at Alice and asking. The big man let out a sigh of relief when he heard Alice's words, since it was the Princess Alice who had brought them, it should not be the enemy, but routine identity verification was still needed.
Alice took out a jade seal and handed it to the big man, who checked it and respectfully returned it to Alice, kneeling down and saying, "I bow to Alice Princess!" The soldiers and magician saw that it was indeed Alice Princess, and immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
Alice put away the jade seal and looked at the big man, saying, "Don't panic, stay alert, the magician can go back first! These huge ships are friendly! Let your city lord come to meet us!" The big man heard the instructions and immediately sent someone to report to the city lord.
Magicians are a precious talent, even in the elf race, the ratio of magicians to warriors is three to one. In war and peacekeeping duties, magicians have great advantages.
"Your Highness, Oswin is here!" Reno came to Edgar and reported. Behind Reno, Oswin, dressed in white robes, smiled and looked at the distant port.
"Oswin, this diplomatic mission is up to you. I want to establish the first base on this continent," Edgar looked at Oswin and slowly instructed.
Oswin smiled lightly and answered faintly, "As you wish, Your Highness! I will give you a satisfactory result!" Oswin is the Grand Vizier of the Nanzhao Kingdom in the game, playing the monarch of a country like a puppet in his hand, his cunning and ruthless means are naturally easy to imagine.
"They're back! It looks like they're almost ready over there!" Edgar smiled as he watched the helicopter flying back. Oswin saw the helicopter flying back and slowly walked into the cabin.
"It's done! Your Highness, please!" Alice jumped off the helicopter and looked at Edgar softly.
"Yes! Order the landing ships to be launched!" Edgar nodded. Since he wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the Morning Star Elf Kingdom, he couldn't just stay on the warship, after all, he wasn't here to invade.
Soon, a landing ship was launched, and 150 Navy Seals and a special forces team landed first. After confirming safety, Edgar and the senior officers slowly walked down the pier.
"This is the Crown Prince of the Morning Star Kingdom, Edgar, and this is the Lord of the City of Jia, Anthony Morningfire," Edgar and his party stepped onto the pier, where many elves were already standing. Alice quickly introduced both sides.
"Your Highness, please. We have prepared a guesthouse for you, and your Anthony was also a seasoned fox, and immediately changed the subject, looking at Oswin and asking softly.
"This is my mentor! The venerable Oswin!"Edgar picked up the conversation, revealing Oswin's prepared identity. Oswin was originally a charlatan, and he acted quite convincingly as a wise man.
"My apologies, my apologies! I had no idea it was Your Highness's mentor!"Anthony couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from Oswin, which meant that Oswin either didn't know any magic or martial arts, or was a highly skilled hidden expert.
"The lord is too polite!"Oswin's bearing and manners were top-notch, and he smiled at Anthony and said.
"Princess, Your Highness, please!"Anthony made a gesture of invitation, and everyone boarded the carriage and headed for the city of Jia. Edgar arrived at Jia Port in the evening, so there was no celebration, and they went straight to the guesthouse.
The guesthouse where Edgar stayed was not a regular one. It was the Royal Retreat, which was only available to the royal family. This time, Alice had ordered the city lord to arrange for Edgar to stay here in order to give him a good impression.
Alice and Nicole went straight to the city lord's mansion. Although Nicole had already been engaged to Edgar, she was not yet officially married, so she was too embarrassed to follow Edgar. Alice, on the other hand, needed to use a special channel to communicate with the royal family and report on the gains and her own conjectures. "Alice, what exactly happened this time? How did you end up getting involved with that prince?" asked Antony, looking at Alice and Nicole in the castle.
Alice sighed and said, "Antony uncle, Alice almost couldn't see you again! Thankfully, I met Edgar."
Antony was momentarily stunned. He knew that the sea was dangerous, but with the Morning Star Elf King's top-notch fleet providing escort, safety was still guaranteed. Otherwise, the royal family would not have agreed to Alice's sea voyage.
"It's true. We first encountered a hurricane at sea, then the Dragon Shark Pirate gang. Fortunately, we were rescued by Edgar in the end!" Alice saw that Antony did not believe her, so she told the whole story from start to finish.
"So it was. God bless, you've finally returned! But how could you agree to Nicole's engagement to him? What about the Lava family?" Antony felt relieved after hearing the story, but then frowned again. Nicole and the third son of the Lava family had been betrothed since childhood, although Nicole hated the third son, it was politics.
Alice frowned as well. The Lava family was indeed a difficult matter. Especially since the Lava family was known for being overprotective and vain, and if they knew that Nicole had gotten married to Edgar, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause.
"Can we cancel Edgar's engagement?" Anthony frowned and tentatively asked. The Flame Family was a powerful family in the Elf Kingdom of Morning Star, and if it stirred up trouble, it would be difficult to wrap up.
"This is probably very difficult! Now the Tree Elf tribe is completely obedient to him! Besides, Edgar is also a prince, and if the engagement is broken off, he may not be able to swallow his pride. At that time, it may turn into a confrontation between countries," Alice sighed and said softly.
"Tree Elves? You mean you found the Tree Elves?" Anthony suddenly stood up excitedly and said.
"Yes! Edgar told me that the Tree Elves and he were good friends after saving us, and this time, there are more than a dozen Tree Elves who came here! But according to my observation, those Tree Elves are completely obedient to Edgar," Alice sighed. Alice had also contacted those Tree Elves, but they had already completely submitted. Without Edgar's orders, they would not intervene to help.
"Let's report this to the queen! May the Moon Goddess bless Morning Star," Anthony also realized that this matter was difficult, shook his head and said. No one noticed that a listening device disguised as a decorative flower on Alice's card had transmitted everything to space and then back to the intelligence station.
