The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

Knowing that he would not be able to hold on, the new Emperor Shengnuo turned and ran away.

He is riding a horse. If he wants to run, he still has a chance!

As soon as the coach ran away, the left wing was completely in chaos.

The commander-in-chief has run away, what's the point of our fighting?

Run quickly!

So, under the leadership of the new Emperor Shengnuo, the left wing instantly fell into chaos. They fled everywhere in panic and trampled on each other.

Immediately afterwards, Shu Yichao arrived.

The terrifying steel storm swallowed up the entire left wing of the coalition forces in an instant. Wherever Shu Yichao went, there was one terrible storm of flesh and blood after another.

"To be my enemy is to live a life worse than death!"

Shu Yichao led the Iron Buddhas and attacked from the left wing like a red-hot knife cutting butter, defeating the central army all the way and then attacking the right wing.

It collapsed, it collapsed completely.

Facing the rolling torrent of steel, the coalition forces found themselves as if facing a real natural disaster, and all their counterattacks seemed so ridiculous.

Amidst heart-wrenching screams and desperate wails, the soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit trampled on each other and frantically searched for their own way to survive.

Then they discovered that they had been tricked by King Charles.

With your back to the water, you have nowhere to run if you lose!

The pontoon bridges and boats on the Po River were simply not enough for them.

In panic, a large number of soldiers threw away their armor and jumped into the icy river, either actively or passively, regardless of whether they could swim or not.

"What are you doing!?"

"Don't row the boat away!"

When King Charles realized that the situation was not good, he immediately fled with his followers and quickly found a ship.

Not even willing to allow more men on board, he ordered the ropes to be cast off, the gangplank removed, and then, paddling furiously, he set off.

“Lord, why did it become like this?”

Seeing the chaotic crowd, the burning dock, and the broken army gradually moving away, King Charles could no longer contain his inner horror. He made the sign of the cross on his chest, tears streaming down his face.

Eighty thousand troops!

An army of eighty thousand!

It collapsed just like that...

At this moment, looking out from King Charles's ships.

Before the expedition, the order of the 80,000-strong army had completely collapsed, with fire and wailing everywhere.

The water around was littered with damaged ships, and the Po River was crowded with people, countless of whom were struggling in the water and shouting for help.

"Your Majesty." The attendant beside him was pale and comforted in a dry voice.

"Don't be too sad. At least with God's blessing, we successfully escaped—ah!"

The shining meteor passed through the pier and then swooped down on the wobbly little boats like a soaring eagle.

"Now that you are here, don't leave!"

How could Shu Yichao let this group of people go? He could tell at a glance that their heads were extremely valuable.

The armored swift horse stepped on a small boat with a thud, and the impact was like a cannonball, instantly crushing the boat to pieces.

Then, before the boat sank to the bottom of the water, Shu Yichao jumped up again on his warhorse.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it quickly caught up with the ship that King Charles was on.

"Do not--"

Accompanied by a loud bang and the screams of all the refugees on the ship, a violent bloody storm immediately swept across the entire ship.

King Charles felt as if his chest was hit hard by a hammer. His eyes went dark, his chest felt stuffy, his body went limp, and he fell into the river wearing heavy armor.

Not far from him, the newly crowned Emperor of Shengnuo also sank to the bottom of the water.

On that day, the coalition forces suffered a crushing defeat, with heavy casualties and the Po River stagnant.

Chapter 101 - Eternal City

"Are you sure you're not kidding!?"

Charliman widened her eyes and looked at the map in disbelief.

"Your Majesty." The holy warrior under her command said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I'm not joking."

"Tens of thousands of soldiers fled back from the front lines. The Eternal City is littered with these pitiful souls driven mad by fear."

"There are pyramids piled up everywhere along the way."

"If Your Majesty is willing to take a look, you will know that the Khitan Caesar is indeed approaching the Eternal City."

"That guy, for some reason, is more familiar with this land than we imagined."

"He always strikes from all sorts of unbelievable places."

“There are some small paths that even elderly people who have lived in the area for more than ten or twenty years don’t know about, but he can easily find them.”

"Also, the Zheleans seem to have completely surrendered to him..."

After integrating information from various sources, Charlieman had to admit that this legendary Whip of God seemed to be even more powerful than imagined.

In just less than a week, half of the 400,000-strong army was gone!

As for the kings, dukes, and earls who were killed...there are too many to count.

"What a bunch of losers!"

Charliman muttered to herself.

"So I was hoping you would be of some use."

"At least it will wear down the Khitan Caesar's army."

"But now it seems that it doesn't even have this little effect—"

Charliman shook his head.

"After all, they are just a bunch of incompetent juniors. Their level of incompetence far exceeds my imagination."

"It seems that I still have to do it myself."

A faint smile began to appear at the corner of her mouth.

"Let me see for myself how powerful you, the Whip of God, are."

"Go," Charliman said to the paladin, "and gather my paladin guard."

"Tell them that the time has come to sacrifice their lives for their Majesty."

"Yes!" the paladin replied with his head down.

"I obey your orders."

"Your Eternal Majesty."

In the smoky and burning venue, one burly man after another was either silently wiping the weapons in his hands or drinking sweet wine.

Looking at their huge physiques, gnarled muscles, and scarlet eyes, you can tell that these giant bear-like warriors are definitely meat grinders on the battlefield.

"Da da……"

With the sound of footsteps, the figure of the Holy Knight appeared at the entrance of the venue.

The burly men's gazes, like iron filings being attracted by a magnet, were instantly focused on the Holy Knight.

"Warriors." Stared at by so many terrifying men, the Holy Knight was not intimidated at all. He chuckled and spoke.

"For the Eternal Majesty, the time has come to sacrifice myself!"

"Hehehehehe!" The burly men showed bloodthirsty smiles, as if they couldn't wait to taste the flesh and blood and wailing of the enemy.

Some servants brought the Holy Communion and then fled in such a hurry that the slowest ones even wet their pants.

"Hmph." The holy warrior snorted coldly, forgiving the servants' rudeness.

Ever since Charleman became the Shadow Emperor of the Eternal City, the original Pope's Guard naturally and quietly became her Paladin Guard.

After being bathed in the divine grace for a long time, these warriors became extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty, fighting to the death and executing any orders unconditionally.

It can be said to be the most terrifying army in the world.

Although this meant that they would most likely not survive more than five years after serving, and because they needed to replenish their Holy Grace at any time, they could not leave the Eternal City, but...

It doesn't matter.

"Our souls—"

The holy warrior made the sign of the cross on his chest, and his eyes were also scarlet.

"You will eventually go to heaven."

【This one should be stable. 】

System 12345 pondered secretly.

[The host didn't seem to do anything extra. He basically just checked out the meeting place and then headed straight to the Eternal City.]

[Yeah, that's possible. After all, it's a date—preparing in advance will definitely make it easier to impress a girl.]

【But then again, what exactly did the host do? 】

[Why did Charlie Man's attention to the host increase so quickly——]

[Hmm...it seems the host has caused quite a stir along the way.]

Did Charliman hear about this incredibly handsome young man from Italy? So she couldn't help but start paying attention?

【Hehehe, after all, she’s just a young girl. 】

[The girl, bound by a heavy fate, finally met a beautiful boy who seemed like a dream—]

[She thought it was just a fleeting anecdote, but she didn't expect that the boy came just for her...]

【Hey hey hey. 】

【…】

[That should be... right.]

System 12345 found that it seemed to lack confidence.

The Eternal City.

As the blood-red double-headed eagle flag fluttered in the distance, the whole city fell into panic.

Although theoretically speaking, the Eternal City should be guarded by an army of 200,000 at this moment, it should not be afraid of Shu Yichao who only has a few thousand people.

however……

It was these few thousand people who had just defeated the 200,000-strong army in the north, and then they rushed towards the Eternal City like a tiger descending from the mountain.

All the obstacles, checkpoints and castles along the way were vulnerable.

In the past, most holy wars were commanded from afar by the Pope.

And this time, the Pope can actually command the holy war directly in the Eternal City.

The gap between them makes one doubt life.

The army was trembling, the nobles were hiding in the church and praying helplessly, and the drunkard squandered his family fortune on pleasure-seeking, partying all night long, drinking and gambling... He wished he could die on the belly of a prostitute.

Wave after wave of refugees fled, and despair spread rapidly in the city, even nuns and priests were no exception.

"What a miserable sin."

Charlie Man watched the events happening in the city with indifference.

"Fornication, drunkenness, debauchery, blasphemy..."
