The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

“We actually have no choice.”

"Oh my." Vinil laughed: "Look, what a cute and sensible little girl."

"Even your daughter understands the facts before her, so, my dear princess—"

Councillor Venier slapped the treaty in front of the princess.

"What are you waiting for?"

Amid the princess's gnashing of teeth, the treaty was officially signed - the entire Moria was ceded to Willis.

The double-headed eagle flag fell and the golden lion flag gradually rose.

"Damn Willis!"

Sophia, who was still a child, stood on the bow of the ship leaving Moria, her little fists clenched tightly.

"One day, I will come back!"

"I will bring a powerful army!"

"Raze the entire city of Willis to the ground!"

At the same time, in the capital of Moria, Senator Venier put away the treaty with satisfaction - from today on, Willis had another colony.

"open!"

"Let me in!"

There was a loud noise outside the door.

Councillor Venier frowned and raised his voice: "Let him in."

"Bang!" The door was pushed open - the person who appeared in front of Senator Venier was the former admiral stationed in Constantinople.

"Mr. Councillor!" The admiral's face looked very unhappy. "I think I need an explanation."

"Why were you transferring me to Mohai?"

"Oh." Councilman Venier tilted his head. "That should be stated in the letter of appointment."

"A group of sea pirates has recently appeared in the Mohai area. We need an experienced, mature and reliable fleet commander..."

"You're bullshitting!" the admiral roared. "It was me who refused to take action against the Khitans—and you were trying to sabotage me in the parliament and get me transferred!"

"Admiral, I don't understand what you're saying."

"This is clearly the Governor's decision—"

"Isn't the Governor your cousin?!" the admiral cursed.

Then, he took a breath and said, "Mr. Congressman, you need to write a letter to the Governor to explain the situation."

"We can't provoke the Khitans casually..."

"I'm sorry, Admiral, you really made a mistake this time." Senator Venier pushed his glasses.

"This is a decision for the whole council—not just for my cousin."

"Why?!" The Admiral couldn't understand. "Don't the people in the council know what formidable warriors the Khitans are?"

"Because what they hold is too important." Councillor Venier said calmly, "It's not just the spices and silks they hold..."

“We still haven’t figured out how their successors arrived in the Balkans.”

"And just recently, a ship fully loaded with cargo docked quietly in Thessaloniki—"

"What does this mean?" Her voice became louder.

"This means that the Khitans have a secret route that no one knows about!"

"This route goes directly from the Mediterranean to the Balkans!"

"Willis people, we need the ocean!"

"This route must be under our control, no room for negotiation!"

"Don't talk about those big principles." The admiral said indignantly: "I just want to ask you, can you defeat the Khitans?"

"I'm not a yellow-haired girl like you who has never fought a battle!"

"I've been serving my country since I was fourteen. Look at all these injuries on my body—"

"The Khitans may be invincible on land, but they don't even have qualified sailors." Senator Vinier smiled slightly and interrupted the other party.

"But our battlefield—"

“It’s on the ocean.”

"Besides."

"A siege is about to fall."

"Caesar of Khitan, first get through this difficult time."

"In my opinion, even the Khitans—" she said confidently.

"In the end, you have to compromise."

Chapter 46 - Bad News

"You toilet bug!"

"Disgusting drunkard!"

"Born as garbage!"

"Damn thief!"

"The mayor of Constantinople who rolled in piss and mud—"

"I command you not to steal the land that the Lord promised us."

"Otherwise, I will bring all the Paladins with me to punish you on behalf of the Lord!"

After reading this declaration of war, which sounded like a street curse, Constantine XI felt a little dizzy.

It’s not that I’m surprised by the other side’s insults, but I’m surprised by the country that declared war on them.

"There's no border between them, why would he declare war?"

"Big Bobo?" Shu Yichao nodded when he saw the color of Potatohuania completely turn into a hostile crimson.

"Tsk, it seems quite normal."

At this moment, on Shu Yichao's big map, the border was already a sea of ​​angry red faces.

After the initial shock, these countries rushed to the Balkans without hesitation, like vultures smelling carrion, flocking in droves.

Prepare to tear off piece after piece of flesh from the corpse of the Osman Empire.

After all, the Osmani royal family has died out, and warlords across the country have been caught up in internal strife. If they don't take this opportunity to expand their territory, when will they?

Of course, Osman will be beaten, and Norma will also be beaten.

What's your level, Norma?

Why do you take up so much good territory?

Spit it all out!

So a large number of troops headed straight for the Balkans. In addition to fighting each other, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities along the way. Their attitude towards Norman civilians was no better than that of the Ottomans towards the Normans.

These are understandable - but Constantine XI could not understand why Lithuania, from such a distance, would declare war on him.

You can't spare any troops for the time being!

"Who knows?" Shu Yichao was not surprised by their actions.

"Maybe it's to satisfy his craving for food."

After all, Big Popo has done so many bizarre things in history - this is just an insult from a distance, just a little bit of teasing.

"Just fight them all." Just as Shu Yichao was getting ready to lead his troops to the border to clear out a wave of red names.

A Willis man with a smirk was ushered in.

then……

"This is blackmail!"

"Shameless blackmail!"

After reading the two collection notices brought by Messenger Willis, Constantine XI was almost angry to death.

When the Willis envoy came this time, he first hypocritically congratulated Emperor Norma on his great achievement of reviving the empire, and then asked Constantine XI to reimburse the bill for the Willis people's previous assistance in defending the city.

These merchants calculated in detail the number of reinforcements, the salary and victory bounty of each soldier and sailor, the food and water needed for each person to travel back and forth, the pensions for the dead, the maintenance and repair costs of the ships, the consumed arrows and weapons...

And so on, a whole host of expenses like that.

Finally, an extremely detailed bill was provided to Constantine XI - the total cost was about 100,000 ducats!

What is this concept?

The king of the Iris Dynasty, a famous western power, only has a total annual income of 50,000 ducats...

Constantine XI couldn't pay back such a huge sum of money even if he pawned his pants!

However, the Willis's actions went beyond this.

After all, these same people, known for their usury and cruelty, also loved to put knives to their clients' necks and force them to sign unequal treaties.

"If that military expenditure bill just now still has a shred of rationality."

Constantine XI roared in anger, "But you are asking me to pay back the money owed to previous emperors! This is too much!"

The second bill from Envoy Willis was a horrific bill calculated from the high-interest loan borrowed from Emperor Norma more than a hundred years ago, accumulated from various types of compound interest - about 10 million ducats in gold coins.

This ghost still has to get up!

"Your Majesty, Augustus," Envoy Willis said with a smile, "We also understand that Your Majesty is having some difficulty paying off this debt."

"How about this, Your Majesty, you can hand over cities like Thessalonica and Adrianople as collateral for the debt, and then pay the rest back slowly later..."

"You're dreaming!" Constantine XI roared angrily.

If we really do what the Willis people say, then all hopes for the revival of the Norma Empire will be destroyed!

"We already knew His Majesty would say that." Willis bowed slightly. "So, don't blame us, the innocent creditors—"

"In order to protect their property from loss, they took some extreme actions."

"What do you mean?" Constantine XI felt uneasy.

"Report——"

The messenger came in and brought more bad news to Constantine XI.

In the concession of Constantinople, mercenaries instigated by the Willis people clamored for a share of the spoils of victory in the previous siege.

They broke into the warehouses set up by Constantine XI and emptied out the spoils - in fact, Constantinople was controlled by mercenaries instigated by Willis.

At present, they are sailing on the Golden Horn Bay, carrying a large amount of pepper, spices and other precious materials, asking Emperor Norma for compensation.

"You, you..."

Constantine XI was almost speechless.

The last time the strong Constantinople fell was when the Willys colluded with the Crusaders and bribed an insider to loot it.

Would he live to see the second fall of Constantinople?

The famous city of world desire, the pagans have been unable to conquer it again and again, and end up being stabbed in the back by their so-called brothers!

But today's bad news is obviously more than that -

When his brother and sister-in-law, accompanied by their five-year-old niece, arrived in Thessalonica carrying the coffin, and cried to Emperor Norma about how the Willis had invaded Moria without declaring war and forced Thomas to death...

Constantine XI could no longer bear it. Filled with grief and indignation, he drew his sword and chopped it off the head of the Willis envoy.

“Willis people, you’ve gone too far!!”

Willis's messenger did not dodge or evade, but just watched the sword of Constantine XI hanging over his head.

but……
