The First Tyrant of Daxia

Neither side was willing to admit defeat; after all, this was a fight for the throne.

Flo did not directly push all his troops forward, but chose to fight on a small scale to consume the troops in Isabella's hands.

There are only so many troops in the royal capital. Once they are completely consumed, when Flo attacks the city, Isabella will have no choice but to watch helplessly.

In the royal capital, Isabella was extremely worried as war reports were delivered at any time.

"Your Majesty, the left wing army has been completely defeated and is evacuating at full speed..."

"Your Majesty, the army on the right wing requests support. They were ambushed by the enemy..."

Battle reports after battle reports were delivered to Isabella's desk, almost all of them were news of defeat.

A gloomy cloud hung over her head. Isabella looked at the battle reports with a frown on her face, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind.

Although she was much smarter than her peers, she was ultimately inexperienced and was far inferior to Flo in commanding troops and fighting.

She didn't feel anything before, but when they faced each other head-on, Isabella felt the pressure brought by Flo.

This guy has managed to get to this position today, so he is definitely not incompetent.

He possessed such qualities, and Cecilia's family simply provided him with an opportunity to climb up.

However, not everyone can get such an opportunity.

"How many troops can the capital mobilize now?"

Isabella put away the battle report, looked at the generals below, and asked in a deep voice.

The general knelt on one knee and said with a worried look: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we only have tens of thousands of soldiers available now. Most of the troops have been transferred away by Flo..."

The Tibetan Tiger and Mountain Leopard armies alone have a total of about 100,000 people, not to mention most of the city defense forces.

Although the Ptolemaic dynasty claimed that everyone was a soldier, that was just an exaggeration.

If they were to encounter an ordinary army, the people in the capital could still join hands to resist them. However, the enemy now came from the Ptolemaic dynasty, and Flo had spread rumors before, which had created a different public opinion in the capital.

Even if Isabella urgently recruited soldiers now, she could only recruit tens of thousands of people at most.

Listening to the general's report, Isabella became ruthless and waved her hand: "Immediately recruit soldiers in the city and let the scouts search for the enemy commander!"

The general was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face was stunned: "Your Majesty, are you planning to..."

"Flo wants to deplete my forces. How could I give him such an opportunity?"

Isabella's face was solemn and her voice was cold; she had already made a decision.

"I want to achieve my goal in one fell swoop and put an end to Flo's thoughts completely!"

After the soldiers left, Michel walked out from the back of the palace, came to her side, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the oriental guest has left the palace."

"Leaving the palace?" Isabella frowned. "Did he say where he was going?"

"This... the distinguished guest just found a courtyard in the capital and stayed there." Michelle said cautiously, "Don't we need to look for him?"

Isabella hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No need. Since he has chosen to leave, there is no need to continue trying to keep him."

In fact, Qin Yun's speculation was correct. After integrating the dynasty officials these days, Isabella carefully thought about the transaction with Qin Yun and felt that she did not need the other party's help for the time being.

Moreover, in the previous transaction, the promise he made was too great, and in comparison, the help Qin Yun provided has now become insignificant.

After careful consideration, she no longer sought Qin Yun's help.

Of course, Isabella was not the kind of person who would burn her bridges after crossing them. Unlike many heroes in history who had abandoned their bows and arrows after all the birds had flown away, she gave Qin Yun the cold shoulder.

Qin Yun’s current choice just happens to be in line with Isabella’s thoughts.

After he suppressed Flo, the worst that could happen was that he would let the other party trade with Ptolemy and give him enough benefits, which would be considered as a way of repaying him for saving his life.

"The most important thing right now is to suppress Flo. We must not let him gain any power!"

Following Isabella's order, conscription began throughout the capital, and countless people were forced to join the army to resist foreign enemies.

"Her Majesty the Queen has ordered that every household must send at least one adult male to join the army. If there are no males in the family, one person must join the army to do logistics!"

Soldiers in charge of delivering messages ran through the streets, announcing Isabella's orders.

However, the people's reaction was completely different from what Isabella had imagined.

"Is the war really going to start?"

"I don't want my man to go to the battlefield. What if he dies?"

"That's right. Our family depends on him for support."

"Your Majesty, would you like to give in to Baron Flo?"

"Yes, Baron Flo only wanted to help Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty the Queen actually treated Baron Flo like this. Has she really been deceived?"

At this point, it can be seen that Flo’s previous remarks have produced results.

In the past, a single order from the king was enough to make the people risk their lives.

However, now, they are just talking about it but not very proactive.

In the courtyard, Qin Yun stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at the chaos outside.

He did not live in the palace, but found a random courtyard in the capital. Isabella did not even try to stop him when he left the palace.

"Flo's rumors finally worked. Isabella should be in a state of panic now." Qin Yun gloated.

Zhu Rong was exercising. She hadn't exercised for days and felt like she was rusting.

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Zhu Rong stood up and walked to Qin Yun's side, saying in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, isn't it time for us to take action now?"

"Of course, to help someone in need, we have to wait until the other party has no way out." Qin Yun sat back at the table, picked up the teacup, and enjoyed the long-lost peace. "Given her personality, she will not come to ask for help until she is at her wit's end."

"Now we can't even recruit soldiers. Isn't that considered desperate?"

"Of course not. In fact, Isabella still has a way to forcibly recruit soldiers. It depends on whether she is willing to do so." Qin Yun smiled faintly, "Do you remember Kasim? After he was captured, how did you deal with his huge property?"

Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly: "Could it be that...she wants to take out Ka Xin's property?!"

You know, when Cassin was in power, he amassed wealth crazily in the Ptolemaic dynasty, and his wealth had reached an extremely astonishing level.

It has even begun to approach the level of Cecilia's family.

However, he collapsed halfway and was captured by Qin Yun before he had the chance to show off his power.
