Huh? Are they all real?.

Chapter 145 Trajan's Westeros Conquers Surras (5k)

In the audience hall of the Baratheon capital.

The Emperor stared in disbelief at the nobles who had fled back from the front lines:

"Are you saying that hundreds of thousands of men on the front lines defected because of a single sentence from Trajan?!"

The emperor's voice was not angry; he simply found it unbelievable.

But the nobles knelt on the ground, trembling:

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, it's terrifying! It must be some kind of evil magic!"

This answer left the emperor utterly speechless.

Indeed, she possesses such power. Putting aside everything else, just consider her allies. If the pure white goddess were to descend in person, not only would hundreds of thousands of people fall, but an entire country would be instantly overrun.

But the question is, what does that have to do with Tula?

And if it really was seduction, how did you manage to escape?

After seeing these useless people shake their heads, the Emperor turned and asked:

"Are you sure that Tula really walked alone to your army's lines back then?"

"Yes, yes. Almost, almost face to face."

Hearing this, the Emperor asked with even greater curiosity:

"If that's the case, why didn't you fire? It's one thing that the soldiers didn't fire, but didn't you know that if even one of you had made the first move?"

"Would the situation completely explode, and would both sides immediately go to war?"

This is something that even he, as an observer, could realize. Why don't you people who were there know?

This problem left the nobles at a loss.

After exchanging glances for a few moments, they finally spoke:

"It was Field Marshal Nelson. Field Marshal Nelson forbade us from firing without permission."

To this seemingly reasonable explanation, the Emperor looked at them seriously and said:

“I can accept your failure, because this was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations. But that doesn’t mean I will accept your lies.”

With a slight lift of his finger, the first nobleman to speak collapsed to the ground, his head exploding.

The scattered blood and chunks of flesh almost covered the nobles nearby.

Faced with such a horrific scene, their minds nearly went blank.

"I'm giving you one last chance to tell me the truth."

A voice like that of death forcibly roused them. After a shiver, they kowtowed deeply to the ground, saying:

"We know that, but we're even more afraid that shooting won't work."

"It's no use?"

"Yes, we are afraid that this will not only fail to ignite the situation, but will also make us the target of everyone's criticism."

The emperor shook his head repeatedly as he listened:

"Thirteen hundred years have passed, and you haven't changed at all. You don't even have the courage to take a gamble when it comes to matters of life and death."

The nobles who heard this almost buried their heads in the floor.

This is not shame, but simply fear of being punished by the Emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor did not seem to blame him.

Even now, he still feels he has a huge advantage.

Prince Adela will arrive in the capital soon.

At that time, he will be able to begin his ascension to godhood.

In this way, no matter how powerful or charismatic Trajan was, he was just a laughable mortal.

Mortals can never kill gods.

Even if wordplay doesn't work.

That doesn't matter, he still has Lloydman, half of Baratheon, and the Queen he already has.

No matter how you look at it, the Emperor felt he couldn't possibly lose.

However, at this point, it is still necessary to delay Trajan's progress.

The more lingering aftertaste, the better.

So the emperor asked again:

"Tinggen has fallen, and from now on, there are no more fortified walls in the south that can stop Trajan's advance. So, is he about to reach Surras?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, now we only have Suras."

In fact, between Tingen and Surras, even if one travels in a straight line, there are still several major cities and strategic locations that could block Trajan's advance.

But the emperor simply gave up on it.

The airship was fast, and then the front lines suddenly reversed course again.

In this situation, the nobles in these places certainly cannot be relied upon.

Moreover, he had already transferred their troops to Nelson.

Thinking of Nelson, the Emperor felt depressed for the first time.

Look away.

When this guy confidently stepped out from the crowd, he really thought he had encountered a promising talent.

结果

He led his most loyal legion directly to the enemy!

Damn traitor!!!

But isn't he a member of the royalist party?

Or did he discover something was wrong?

This can't be done!

The emperor was extremely depressed and felt completely bewildered.

After all, who would have thought that the reason the Queen promoted Nelson all the way to lieutenant general was because he was a talent discovered and recommended by her teacher?

But he couldn't understand it, and now he knew that none of these useless people could be trusted.

So the emperor looked directly at his six old friends.

The Grand Duke of the Lions finally stepped forward.

"My old friend, I can only rely on you now!"

Although there are some risks involved, they are worth taking in this situation.

The Grand Duke of the Lion Family knelt on one knee and said:

"Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

The Emperor believed this.

This person is different from Nelson; I know him inside and out.

He would never betray us.

Otherwise, wouldn't their millennia-long plan have become a complete joke?

“Suras was given to Constance by me, and Trajan not only betrayed the Empire, but also killed our old friend.”

"Let him see what we're made of!"

The Grand Duke of the Lion family bowed his head deeply.

-

As a military stronghold that existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was continuously repaired by successive emperors.

Even though the Demon Lord had breached her walls once before, Suras was still a trustworthy and steadfast bulwark.

If it's just to hold off the invading southern army for a while...

There's definitely no problem with Suras.

This was the emperor's only expectation.

He never needed someone powerful enough to defeat Trajan; he only needed them to slow him down a little.

It's simply about allowing yourself time to complete all the preparations calmly.

At that time, once he ascends to the divine throne, little Trajan will be a piece of cake!

The Southern Army, advancing with unstoppable momentum, soon arrived at the city gates.

Looking at the dark, dense fleet on the opposite horizon and the siege forces that had already assembled on the ground.

The nobleman of Surras couldn't help but ask the Grand Duke of the Lion House:

"Your Excellency, we have lost air superiority. The Imperial Navy is almost entirely on the other side, and the city's air defenses are quite limited. What do you plan to do?"

Nelson took almost the entire Imperial Navy with him, which meant that the subsequent fortresses were inherently without air superiority.

Seeing that the Grand Duke remained silent, the nobleman spoke again:

"My lord, shouldn't we try to reinforce the newly repaired city walls first? I'm worried that the enemy will focus their fire on that side, and if they blow the walls up like this, I'm afraid..."

Before the nobleman could continue speaking...

The Grand Duke of the Lion family bowed his head and said:

"Need not."

"Then what do you intend to do, Your Excellency?"

The nobleman glanced uneasily at the new city wall, the only gap in Sulas's defenses.

"I still think we should reinforce the city walls first. Should I arrange for people to demolish the houses right now?"

"I said no."

Seeing the Grand Duke's tone become more serious, the nobleman stopped talking about the matter and instead asked:

"Yes, Your Highness. What should we do now?"

"Get the soldiers ready for battle, and then just wait for my command. Don't worry, I've arranged everything!"

Outside the city of Suras, they looked at the only fortress that refused to accept their arrival.

Claude said to Moen:

"Your Majesty, just watch from the sidelines this time. Don't worry, I will definitely help you take this city in three days at most!"

"How do we fight? By relying on numerical superiority and simply taking lives?"

Claude remained silent, while Nelson beside him whispered:

"Your Majesty, this has always been the case when attacking fortified positions. There are almost no shortcuts."

"There is a way."

Everyone was stunned.

"Your Majesty, what is your plan? Your Majesty, this is too dangerous. The people guarding Sulas now are not the same as before. The one guarding the city now is the first Duke of the Lion Family."

"He was with the false emperor, and the decline of the Lion family is also closely related to you. You can't go there anymore!"

As they talked, they realized what Moen was planning and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

This time it's different; this time, the person standing opposite is the first generation of the Lion Family.

He would never care about anything.

Moen, however, said:

"If I succeed, it will be everyone's good fortune; if I fail, it will simply be the end of my miracle."
