The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

Chapter 31-Only More Outrageous

"Ah?" The officers looked at Kalega Pasha in confusion, as if they couldn't believe that this was the idea he came up with.

"Brother, the Khitans killed our Sultan." The Second Princess was also in disbelief.

No matter what, the second princess still has some feelings for Mumona.

It's just that I can't take care of revenge for her right now.

But isn’t this peace talk a bit…

"There's nothing we can do about it," Kalega Pasha said irritably. "This city is completely indefensible now."

"The Khitans outside the city may rush in at any time."

"Our battle with those imperial concubines and princes is at a critical juncture. We must find a way to stabilize the Khitans."

"Besides, the Moriah Legion that supports us is on the way."

"And the Albanian troops supporting the Queen are likely to arrive soon - they are much closer to the capital!"

"The Moriah Legion has 20,000 men, but the Albanian Legion has less than 10,000 men."

"I believe that in a head-to-head match, they are no match for us."

"The prerequisite is to wait until the Moriah Army arrives!"

"Believe me, as long as we can stabilize the Khitans and successfully kill the First and Fifth Concubines, making certain compromises is not a shameful thing."

“If we don’t do this…”

The uncle said meaningfully: "If the Grand Concubine makes peace with the Khitans first, she might even gain their support."

"Then it's too late for anything."

After a moment of silence, all the distinguished people present agreed.

So, Kalega Pasha called a group of eunuchs and drafted several treaties for peace.

First, Osman and Norma ended their hostilities and abandoned their attacks on Norma territories and the blockade of the Bos Strait.

Second, a circle of villages, towns, and small castles on the Thracian Plain near Constantinople was ceded to Norma.

Third, deliver hundreds of pounds of gold and thousands of pounds of silver to the Khitan Caesar on the spot.

Fourth, the Khitans could "collect food" for several days at their manors on the outskirts of the city.

Of course, in return for these conditions, Norma's Khitan Caesar had to withdraw from Adrianople as soon as possible, recognize the second queen's son as the only and legitimate Sultan, and not intervene in the Osman civil war.

While Kaleja Pasha was drafting the terms, Osman's eldest wife was also busy.

After discovering Shu Yichao's elite archers, she made a decision even faster.

"We must win over the Khitans immediately!"

The eldest princess, who was at a disadvantage in the civil war, said this with absolute certainty.

She called the messenger and said to him, "Tell that to the Khitan Caesar."

"I'll give him five thousand pounds of gold and twenty thousand pounds of silver!"

"And cede Thessalonica to Norma. This city currently has a population of 90,000 and is extremely wealthy!"

"Of course, the prerequisite is that he forms an alliance with us."

"And join forces with our Albanian Legion, kill the Second Princess and all other coveters of the Sultan's throne, and then defeat the Moria Legion together."

As she spoke, she handed over her seal and said, "If there are any other conditions, please consider agreeing to them."

"Go back quickly!"

The Second and First Imperial Concubine didn't know that compared to their conditions, the conditions offered by someone who was about to die were even more outrageous.

"Cede the entire Balkans!?"

"You don't even want the capital anymore?"

"Lead all the Othmans back to Antolia!?"

"Convert your religion!"

When the Fifth Princess saw the peace terms written by her brother, she jumped up from her chair.

“Are you serious!?”

"This condition is too outrageous!"

"No, it's not outrageous at all." After carefully drying the ink on the letter, the fifth princess's brother raised his head with a terrifying look in his eyes.

"Sister dear, we have no more leverage."

"At this critical moment, you still have nothing better to do than kill slaves for fun..."

"It was because of those slaves whose families you killed and whose hands you cut off that they secretly ran away to lead the way."

"As a result, our few remaining troops were almost completely slaughtered, and the court officials who supported us were massacred."

"Isn't that what everyone does?" The Fifth Princess said stubbornly, "Who knew those slaves would—"

Under her brother's cold gaze, the Fifth Princess shut her mouth awkwardly.

"Most importantly, both the First and Second Imperial Concubines have the support of the Legion, while we have nothing—"

The Fifth Princess's brother continued.

"If we don't offer conditions that will attract the Norma and Khitan people, then what awaits us will definitely be the execution of our entire family!"

“…” The Fifth Princess sat back with a pale face.

"We will go and ask for peace in person later." The fifth princess's brother rolled up the letter and swept his sister's beautiful face and enchanting body with cold eyes.

"Also, I suggest you dress up nicely, sister."

"I heard that Norma's Khitan Caesar is a beautiful teenage boy."

"It's the age when one is full of vigor and vitality—"

"When necessary, sister, you need to make certain sacrifices."

“——Huh?” The Fifth Princess widened her eyes.

"I told you, sister." The gloom in her brother's eyes never left.

“We have no leverage left.”

"..." The Fifth Princess's expression struggled for a while, and finally she lowered her head dejectedly.

"I understand."

[Host, are you ready to enter the city? ]

System 12345, which sensed Shu Yichao's approximate location, began to make suggestions.

【That's not what I said, host.】

[In a life-or-death situation like this, you must be extremely careful.]

[Given your current situation, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.]

【You must listen carefully to my advice. 】

【Do as I say.】

【Maybe it's possible to turn the situation around.】

System 12345 said earnestly and persuasively.

[Yes, I will tell you the details.]

How can a dangerous beauty not be paired with a femme fatale? Pretty girl, guh heh heh—hmm, let's get to the point.

[These concubines of Mumona are also very dangerous.]

[Although they're not as exaggerated as Mumona, if you piss them off, they're definitely capable of throwing you into a cave of snakes!]

[But host, don't worry, I've got you covered.]

[Host, first of all, Mumona's Grand Concubine prefers—Oh my god, what's going on!?]

System 12345 screamed in disbelief.

[Why are these imperial concubines paying so much attention to you, the host? ]

What's going on?

System 12345 was puzzled.

"Did I see you during the festival? This city does seem quite lively..."

[Tsk tsk tsk, I can only say, host, your beauty is truly unparalleled in the world. ]

[It was so easy to seduce several imperial concubines. ]

[Oh my, it seems like this Fifth Imperial Concubine still wants to—hehehe.]

System 12345 felt as if pink bubbles were popping out of its body.

[Host, this looks like a great start.]

[Strongly persuade the Fifth Princess, and then convince her to persuade Mumona!]

[Don’t be shy——]

[It's quite normal to see noble ladies and knights in this era. This is especially popular in the Iris Kingdom.]

[Host, now issuing the mission - Wei Wu Legacy.]

【Show off your heroic spirit! 】

【Hey hey hey...】

Chapter 32 - Slipped Away

The situation on the Fifth Imperial Concubine's side was the worst, so she acted the fastest.

Soon, they slipped out of Adrianople with a group of their own.

"Sister, are you ready?"

Before heading towards the Khitans, the fifth princess's younger brother specifically asked his sister.

"..." The Fifth Imperial Concubine, who had just washed and dressed up, nodded with red eyes in grievance.

"That's good." The fifth princess's brother comforted her.

"Don't worry about these little things. Think about it, if we win over the Khitans."

"First and Second Imperial Concubine, the few people they have under their control are simply not enough."

"When my nephew becomes Sultan, then we can—"

A cry of surprise came.

The Fifth Princess and her brother quickly looked up, only to find that the envoy who was heading towards the Khitans had suddenly fallen off his horse.

"What's going on!?"

The Fifth Princess screamed loudly, and then her beautiful eyes widened in fear.

In the midst of flying dust, the Khitan cavalry actually rushed over.

The shaking earth trembled, as if in fear of the devil from the abyss.

"Leave no scraps of armor behind!"

Originally, Shu Yichao was still hesitating whether to rush in and attack directly, or to surround the city and then attack.

But now that someone has come out to take the initiative to fight back, there is no need to think about it.

Get rid of them first.

"Shoot through the willows and hit the target every time!"

Shu Yichao held a bow and shot several arrows in rapid succession, knocking down the most gorgeously dressed Osman people who came out.
