The injustice system and the war-mad me

[The more precious the food is, the more it shows that you value them...]

[Hehe, it seems like a good idea. 】

[Turn mistakes into opportunities - I'm not stupid. 】

So, under the shocked eyes of the Norma people, a large Khitan ship loaded with "treasures" docked.

Of course, Shu Yichao's actions will make quite a few people dissatisfied——

Many elders were so angry when they saw the appearance of the Norma people today that they quickly appealed to Constantine XI.

How could Caesar be allowed to act like this!

Look at them, where do they still look like Norma people?

Of course, they were all pushed back by Constantine XI.

"The feather crown and ring armor are the bad rules of the country."

"The phoenix-winged tassel helmet represents the elegance of the new dynasty."

If some people protest from the front, then naturally there will be those who cause trouble behind the scenes.

"Hmm, new incident?"

Shu Yichao glanced at the small map, and some red dots appeared.

"Brother, copy the guy!"

Shu Yi ended the fast forward with a rush, jumped up, and shouted: "Here we go again!"

Recently, there are always some robbers and bandits who want to destroy farmland and rob farmers——

What the hell, I still expect the military to build the Iron Buddha Temple!

Are you actually here to cause trouble?

Now I’ll blow you all away!

When a group of bandit mercenaries who were invited to cause trouble saw the menacing Khitan cavalry charging towards them, their faces turned green.

The information given by those noble gentlemen was not accurate at all!

Didn’t it mean that Khitan Caesar was not here?

What's going on with these cavalry in front of you! ?

With one charge, Bandit No. [-] was all destroyed——

Then the elite horse archers happily captured the prisoners.

As we all know, the best training is actual combat!

Grab more and go back to let the new recruits see blood...

It wasn't just the robbers who suffered.

In fact, there were a lot of unpleasantness during this period.

For example, when the fields were divided, bandits and robbers nearby came to cause trouble.

For example, when repairing roads, some mercenaries want to cause trouble.

For example, when digging canals, some priests wanted to incite farmers to resist.

For example, when a school was being built, some nobles caused trouble.

But they were all handled well by the team led by Shu Yichao.

Under his urging, these people left calmly.

Shu Yichao became very motivated when he thought that he could have an armored cavalry with 140 armor defense!

"Anyone who dares to stop me from recruiting Tiefutu will die!"

evidence?

What evidence do you want?

Kill all those with red names!

Except that some populations are declining a little too quickly—

Constantine XI's reforms were in full swing.

I don’t know why, but the Noma people learn Chinese and various Khitan systems at an almost eerie speed.

But Constantine XI didn't think much about it. This was probably the Khitan's excellence.

Constantine XI was happy and felt that the revival of the empire was just around the corner.

But the nobles almost went berserk!

No one is a fool.

If dividing the fields is to dig up the roots of these nobles, then promoting education is simply to dig up their graves!

"Lord! Constantine is actually a devil in human skin."

"That Caesar is the same, a hateful barbarian! Why should he kill someone and silence him if there is no evidence?"

"How can you treat a nobleman so roughly?"

"Caesar kills people, and Constantine plays dumb every time - these two are basically a team!"

I can't take it anymore!

If this continues, the friendly countries will be shocked, and the country will be destroyed!

Get them out now!

Then put things right and return to the elegant and peaceful era of the past.

"Contact the Willis!"

"Can't wait any longer!"

Chapter 45 - A mighty smile

Moriah.

This was an enclave of the Norma Empire before the arrival of Shu Yichao.

It is also the only place in the entire Europa, besides the capital, where the double-headed eagle flag still flies in the Norma Empire.

Its capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Crusaders, Willis, Norma, and Osmans have fought countless bloody battles around this castle.

But in the end, the Norma people were able to hold it.

However, today, the double-headed eagle flag here seems to be about to fall.

In the dim room, a skinny middle-aged man was lying on the hospital bed dying.

He was sometimes conscious, sometimes unconscious, and kept mumbling.

His name was Thomas, the youngest brother of Constantine XI.

If anyone could look down and listen to what he was saying, they would hear Thomas cursing continuously.

"Damn Willis!"

"Damn traitor!"

"One day, you will go to hell!"

In the past half year, Prince Norma has experienced the most ruthless ups and downs in his destiny.

Originally, Constantine XI assigned his two younger brothers to Moria so that they could guard the last enclave for the empire.

However, Thomas's second brother was not satisfied. He took advantage of the Norma people's tradition of internal fighting and wanted to drive his brother away every day so that he could dominate Moria.

The two princes, whom Constantine XI hoped to share the pressure with, ended up in internal strife every day.

When Mumona mobilized the whole country to besiege Constantinople, Thomas' second brother thought that an opportunity had come and shamelessly surrendered to Osman's Moria Army.

Moria had already been war-torn and desolate, and when he encountered a strong enemy and the leading party, Thomas was of course defeated and had to retreat to the capital.

Fortunately, the Willis people did not want Moria to fall into the hands of the Osmans, so they sent some assistance and finally allowed Thomas to hold on to the castle.

It was hard to hold on until Osman defeated Constantinople, Mumona was killed at the Western Wall, and the Moria Army went north to participate in the civil war——

Before Thomas could take a breath and think about how to regain the lost ground, the Willis man who had just given aid stabbed him in the back again.

The Willis incited Thomas's mercenaries to rebel, opened the gates of the capital, and took advantage of the situation to capture Moria.

Immediately, they forced Thomas, who had become a prisoner, to sign a treaty, requiring him to declare himself a vassal and pay tribute, and cede all the good harbors of Moria...

After all, the Willis people never intended to really help the Norma Empire. They just wanted to keep this dish for themselves, so they helped the prince.

Thomas was stubborn and refused to agree.

The Willis people locked up his whole family and did not seek medical treatment when he was sick. They tortured the strong man until only a handful of bones were left.

"Cough-cough-"

After a violent cough, Thomas panted and managed to regain some clarity.

"Squeak--" At this moment, the door was opened.

Following a flurry of footsteps, Thomas opened his eyes and barely saw his princess, his daughter Sophia, and a priest from the crowd.

Everyone looked sad...

Thomas understood.

I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight.

"May the Lord forgive me..."

he murmured silently.

Thomas died a few hours later.

Before his body was cold, his orphans and widowed mother were brought to the negotiating table.

"Dear Princess, don't look at me like that."

Senator Vinier, who wore braided braids, pushed up his glasses and said hypocritically: "Actually, no one wants this to happen."

"But now that things have happened, there is no point in reminiscing about the tragedies of the past, right?"

"The living should plan for the living, what do you think?"

"You have already lost this war, so why bother holding on here."

The princess had red eyes, hugging her daughter and looking at her angrily.

"Oh, actually, I think the conditions I gave are already very good, aren't they?"

Venier said: "As long as you sign your name on this scroll and cede a few ports, you can leave with your daughter and your husband's coffin."

"In times of war like this, even nobles often die of heirs."

"You just lost your territory. You can still go back to Constantinople to find your brother-in-law and continue to live a good life."

“This is already a gift from the Lord, isn’t it?”

"...You!" After hearing the threat in the other party's words, the princess's face immediately turned pale.

At this moment, the skirt of her clothes was pulled.

The princess looked down and saw her daughter Sophia who was also crying.

"Mother."

Sophia said softly.

"Sign it."

"We actually have no choice anymore."

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

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

Councilor Vinier photographed the treaty in front of the princess.
