The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

But no matter what, the internal troubles of Thessalonica were at least eliminated.

congratulations.

Chapter 49 - Seaside City

"Your Majesty." Mrs. Marti reported to Constantine XI.

"We have found evidence of collusion between these nobles and the Willis."

"The letters, seals, and even the signed treaty of treason are all there. The evidence of treason is irrefutable."

"They wanted to seize the city while Caesar was away on his campaign, and then give it to those shameless profiteers."

"We have currently blocked the port, cutting off the possibility for the Willis people to secretly land."

"If they want to attack the city, they will have to rely on brute force to take it down."

"Besides, Caesar's actions this time were extremely cruel."

"Not only the rich and powerful, but even the royal family of the past was not spared—"

"We killed twenty or thirty Komnenos alone, and even more with the names Lascaris and Doukas..."

"I don't know how many ancient families have lost their bloodlines—"

"I'm afraid that the nobles of other cities will strongly oppose us later."

"Well, tell them this." Constantine XI sighed.

"Maybe we could have done something before, but by the time it happened, it was too late."

"..."

If Your Majesty were not busy calculating how much land these nobles have vacated, I might have believed it.

Madame Marti glanced silently at His Majesty the Emperor.

"By the way." Constantine XI gave Mrs. Marti a seal.

"I grant you full authority over the aftermath of Caesar's expedition this time."

"Although we can no longer take over more territory in the short term."

"But after all, there are still many compatriots in this land, and I don't want to see them all die tragically."

“So, if there are those who are willing to surrender, give them a certain degree of autonomy.”

"As for appointments and wishes, it's up to you."

"Your Majesty, are you so sure they will surrender?" Mrs. Marti accepted the seal.

"Don't worry about it along the way. There will definitely be a lot of diehards."

"People always compromise." Constantine XI blinked.

"If we just tell them to surrender."

"They probably won't."

"But if our Caesar says, cut them all down."

"They will probably surrender."

"I hope so." Mrs. Marty spread her hands. "Compared to this, I'm more worried that Caesar won't give them a chance to surrender."

"Maybe I could have done something before, but by the time it happened, it was too late," she said seriously.

"..."

at the same time.

[This thing is really stuck like a PPT. ]

System 12345 lamented.

I thought that after solving the black screen problem, it could show its strength and help the host roam the sea of ​​flowers and make countless beautiful girls fall in love with the host.

Unexpectedly, the problems continued to arise.

【……Um? 】

It found that the screen suddenly froze at the moment when Shu Yichao kicked open the door of the nobleman's room.

System 12345 fell into deep thought.

[You opened the door with your foot. No wonder your favorability is always deducted.]

[Your behavior is a bit disrespectful.]

[Look, the nobles' favorability towards you has been completely deducted, hasn't it?]

【Eh--】

System 12345 sighed.

The next moment, after a dazzling change.

The scene changed.

On the street, Shu Yichao galloped on his horse.

Countless cavalrymen galloped behind him.

The streets were flooded with blood and corpses were everywhere.

【! ! ! 】

Seeing the screen frozen like this, System 12345 was stunned.

【Host! ! 】

[What's going on!?]

[Is there a war?!]

【The enemy has entered the city? 】

[Hiss—Host, run! ]

[A lot of cavalry are chasing you! ]

System 12345 panicked.

【Wait, I'll give you a good horse! 】

【Hurry up and ride! 】

"A warhorse with a speed of 400?" Shu Yichao praised the snow-white jade-like horse that appeared in front of him.

"The horse's name is Gale?"

"Are there any special features?"

"Not affected by the wet zone?"

"awesome!"

"Supplies must be provided before a major battle."

"Brothers—let's go!"

Behind him, nearly two thousand elite archers had gathered to respond.

………………

A Willis colony somewhere in the Balkans.

The sea breeze brings bursts of coolness with a slightly fishy smell.

A well-dressed middle-aged man tidied his clothes and prepared to get off the boat.

He hummed a little tune.

Thinking about which socialite to find in the city tonight.

However, he also found that the servant who was packing his things seemed a little absent-minded.

"What's the matter, sir?"

The middle-aged man asked his servant with a smile.

They have been friends for more than ten years, so there is no need to be too restrained.

"Is there anything that's bothering you?"

"Let me guess, which of your sons is in trouble again?"

"Could it be because of that girl..."

"Count." The servant stammered, his eyes flickering, as if he was about to speak but stopped.

The Earl smiled and said, "There's no need to be so cautious."

"Just tell me what you have to say."

"I heard..." the servant whispered, "Are we going to war with the Scourge of God?"

"..." The Count frowned: "Are you talking about the Khitan Caesar?"

Although Shu Yichao himself didn't know it, his fame had already spread like a strong wind, sweeping across cities and countries...

Khitan people.

cavalry.

Pyramid of human heads.

Rivers of blood flowed wherever they passed.

In addition, the powerful nation of Usman was completely defeated in a short period of time...

This damn sense of déjà vu...

These factors are impacting the nerves of everyone on the continent.

The name of the Whip of God is about to come out.

Although it did not penetrate deep into Europe, the few times that God's scourge was swung in the past were enough to scare everyone.

And this time, the Whip of God seems to be even closer than before...

How can one not feel uneasy when thinking about the possibility that one's country might have to go to war with these people?

"Sir, I know what you're worried about."

The Count smiled and adjusted his hat.

"But don't worry, it's not that bad."

"We just used a little trick to try to reach some deals with the Khitans."

"We don't want to fight the Khitans unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Besides, even if the warriors under the Khitan can defeat any enemy in a land battle."

"But our city-state is on an island."

"Our warriors are a group of sailors who operate warships."

"Excuse me, Khitans, how are you going to ride on your warhorses and fight us at sea?"

The Earl's confidence was well-founded.

The Willis people swindled and deceived countless people around the Great Blue Sea, causing countless people to be separated from their wives and children, their families to be destroyed, and they were reduced to slavery. Their immorality was so bad that it was smoking.

Countless people hated them so much that they wanted to send them all to the gallows.

But Willis's navy, is that a joke?

When other countries were still indulging in castles and knight games, and their so-called navy was often just a temporary recruitment of a group of armed merchant ships to make up the numbers, or a group of pirates to fight for their lives -

The Willys have spared no expense in building an extremely elite and powerful standing navy.

They introduced a military service system, recruited experienced sailors and water-savvy volunteers to serve as a standing navy, and spent huge sums of money from the national treasury to build a large number of galleys.

Even the oarsmen, who were not valued in other countries and were usually slaves, were equipped with weapons and paid regularly by Willis.
