"What are you waiting for?"
With the princess gnashing her 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 very young, stood on the bow of the ship leaving Moria, clenching her little fists tightly.
"One day, I will come back!"
"I will bring a strong army!"
"Raze the entire city of Willis to the ground!"
At the same time, in the capital of Moria, Councilor Vinier put away the treaty with satisfaction - starting from today, Willis has another colony.
"open!"
"Let me in!"
There was a loud commotion outside the door.
Councilor Vinier frowned and raised his voice: "Let him come in."
"Bang!" The door was pushed open - the person who appeared in front of Senator Venier was the former admiral in Constantinople.
"Mr. Congressman!" The admiral's face looked very ugly: "I think I need an explanation."
"Why were you transferred to Mo Hai?"
"Oops." Councilor Venier tilted his head: "It should be mentioned in the appointment letter."
"A group of sea robbers have recently appeared in Mohai, and they need an experienced, mature and reliable fleet commander..."
"You fart!" the admiral roared: "It's obvious that I refused to take action against the Khitans - you just made a stumbling block in the council and transferred me away!"
"Admiral, I don't understand what you are saying?"
"This is obviously the Governor's decision——"
"Isn't the Governor your cousin!?" The admiral yelled.
Then, he took a breath and said, "Mr. Congressman, you need to write a letter to the Governor explaining the situation."
"We cannot provoke the Khitans casually..."
"I'm sorry, Admiral, you really made a mistake this time." Senator Venier pushed up 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 terrible warriors the Khitans are?"
"Because what they have in their hands is too important." Councilor Venier said calmly: "It's not just the spices and silks in their hands..."
"We still haven't been able to figure out how their follow-up personnel came to the Balkans."
"And not long ago, a ship loaded with cargo docked quietly in Thessaloniki——"
"What does this mean?" Her voice rose.
"This shows that the Khitans have a secret route that no one knows about!"
"This route can lead directly from the Mohai Sea to the Balkans!"
“Willis, need the ocean!”
"Such a route must be in our hands, without negotiation!"
"Don't talk about those big principles." The admiral said angrily: "Let me ask you, can you defeat the Khitans?"
"I'm not a yellow-haired girl like you who has never fought in a war!"
"I have been playing for my country since I was 14 years old. Look at these injuries on my body -"
"The Khitans may be invincible on land, but they don't even have qualified sailors." Councilor Venier smiled slightly and interrupted the other party.
"But our battlefield——"
"It's above the ocean."
"Again."
"A siege is about to come down."
"Caesar of the Khitan, let's get over the current difficulties first and then talk about it."
"In my opinion, even the Khitans-" she said confidently.
"In the end, you have to compromise obediently."
Chapter 46 - Bad news one after another
"You toilet bug!"
"Disgusting drunkard!"
"Born trash!"
"Damn thief!"
"The mayor of Constantinople wallowing in urine and mud——"
“I command you not to steal any more of the land that the Lord promised us.”
"Otherwise, I will bring all the Holy Knights to give you divine punishment on behalf of the Lord!"
After reading this declaration of war, which was worded like a curse, Constantine XI felt a little dizzy.
It's not that they were surprised by the curses on the other side, but that they were surprised by the country that declared war on them.
"If they don't even share a border, why would he declare war?"
"Big Bobo?" Shu Yichao nodded when he saw that Bo Lihua's color had completely turned into a hostile crimson.
"Tsk, it seems quite normal."
At this moment, on Shu Yichao's big map, the border was already full of angry red faces.
After the initial daze, these countries marched towards the Balkans without hesitation, coming in droves like vultures smelling carrion——
Prepare to tear off piece after piece of flesh and blood from the corpse of the Osman Empire.
After all, the Osman royal family has died out, and warlords everywhere have fallen into internal strife. If they don't take this opportunity to expand their territory, how long will it take?
Of course, Osman wants to be beaten, and Norma wants to be beaten too.
What level is your Norma?
Why eat so many good places?
Spit it all out!
So a large number of armies rushed straight to the Balkans. In addition to fighting each other, they burned, killed, and looted along the way. Their attitude towards the Norma civilians was no better than that of the Osmans towards the Norma people.
These are understandable - but Constantine XI could not understand why Bothuania declared war on him from such a distance.
You can't spare any troops for the time being!
"Who knows?" Shu Yichao was not surprised by their operation.
"Maybe it's just to satisfy your cravings."
After all, Dabobo has done a lot of weird things in history - only then did he add insults and sprinkle water on them.
"Just beat them all." Just when Shu Yichao was gearing up and preparing to lead his troops to the border to clear out a wave of red names.
A Willis man with a fake smile was ushered in.
then……
"This is blackmail!"
"Despicable blackmail!"
After reading the two reminder notes brought by Messenger Willis, Constantine XI was almost angry to death.
When the Willis envoy came this time, he first falsely congratulated Emperor Norma on the great cause of reviving the empire, and then asked Constantine XI to reimburse the bills incurred by the Willis people for helping to defend the city.
These merchants calculated in detail the number of all reinforcements, the pay and victory bounty of each soldier and sailor, the food and water for each person's round trip, the pensions for the dead, the maintenance and repair costs of the ships, the arrows and arrows consumed arms……
Wait, a lot of expenses like that.
Finally, an extremely detailed bill was provided to Constantine XI - the total cost was approximately one hundred thousand ducats!
What is this concept?
Now a famous powerful country in the west, the king of the Iris Dynasty has a total annual income of only [-] ducats in gold coins...
For such a large sum of money, Constantine XI couldn't afford it even if he pawned his pants!
But there's more to Willis's operations than that.
After all, this group of people, who are famous for their loan sharking and unkindness for the sake of wealth, also like to put a sword on the neck of their customers and force them to sign unequal treaties.
"If we look at the military expenditure bill just now, it is still somewhat reasonable."
Constantine XI roared with grief and indignation: "But you even want me to pay back the money of previous emperors. This is too much!"
Messenger Willis's second bill was a horrifying bill calculated from the loan sharks borrowed by Emperor Norma more than 100 years ago and accumulated with various interest rates - about 1000 million ducats in gold coins.
This guy deserves it!
"Dear Augustus." Messenger Willis said with a smile: "We also know that it is slightly difficult for His Majesty to pay off this debt."
"Otherwise, Your Majesty, you can hand over the debts to cities such as Thessaloniki and Adrianople, and pay back the rest slowly..."
"You're dreaming!" Constantine XI roared angrily.
If we do what the Willis people say, then all hope of the Norma Empire's revival will be gone!
“We already knew His Majesty would say this.” Willis bowed slightly: “So, don’t resent us innocent creditors——”
"In order to protect my own property from damage, I took a little drastic action."
"What do you mean?" Constantine XI felt bad.
"Report-"
The messenger came through the door and brought another piece of bad news to Constantine XI.
In the concession of Constantinople, the mercenaries incited by the Willis people clamored for a share of the spoils of victory in the previous siege.
They broke into the warehouse set up by Constantine XI and emptied the loot inside - Constantinople was in fact controlled by the mercenaries instigated by Willis.
Currently, they are taking a boat on the Golden Horn with a large amount of pepper, spices and other precious supplies, asking Emperor Norma to make up for the money.
"You, you..."
Constantine XI was almost speechless.
The last time the fortified Constantinople fell was when the Willis colluded with the Crusaders and bribed moles to loot it.
Will he see Constantinople fall for the second time in his lifetime?
The famous city that the world longs for, the pagans have repeatedly failed to conquer, and as a result, they are always stabbed in the back by their so-called brothers from the same clan!
But today’s bad news obviously doesn’t stop there——
When his younger siblings arrived in Thessaloniki with their five-year-old niece holding the coffin, they cried to Emperor Norma and complained that the Willis had invaded Moria without declaring war and forced Thomas to death...
Constantine XI couldn't bear it anymore. He was filled with grief and anger. He drew out his sword in anger and chopped off the head of Messenger Willis——
"Willis people, you are going too far!!"
Willis's envoy did not dodge, and just watched Constantine XI's sword hanging over his head.
but……
Couldn't cut it down.
The emperor looked at Norma breathing heavily, but helpless.
The princess looked at Thomas, holding her daughter beside her, with red eyes and clenched fists, but she was helpless.
Willis' emissary just wanted to laugh out loud.
