"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

In the end, he laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward with a shrill voice.

Isn’t your Willis a commercial city-state?

Isn’t it the financial industry that monopolizes half of the Big Blue Sea?

Aren’t you profiteers very good at playing with digital magic and all kinds of robbery?

Then I will completely destroy your economy and finance!

Willis is powerful not just because of its fleet.

Its ubiquitous commercial, economic, and financial networks are also an important part of its strength.

Relying on the magic of money, Willis spread his influence to countless countries, cities, and even palaces, and infiltrated and controlled them——

Forming an intricate network.

Now, I am going to uproot your network!

The merchants of Willis looked on with pale faces as the city was reduced to a sea of ​​flames and the ledgers were reduced to ashes.

No one knows better than them the tragic losses their city-state has suffered.

Commercial city-states are more dependent on the good functioning of the economy than other traditional countries.

If you lose on the battlefield but the economy is running well, it can only be regarded as a bruised face.

As long as you go back and lick the wound, apply medicine, and replenish it, you can recover in a short time.

But if an economic network is completely destroyed, it is equivalent to having its hands and feet chopped off!

Even if the bleeding was stopped, it would only save his life. It would be almost impossible to act as before!

Some people even started to cry, but they were afraid of annoying the soldiers next to them, so they could only sniff and sob from time to time.

"Ok?"

The movement here attracted Shu Yichao's attention.

"Didn't you say that all the Venetians should be hanged?"

"Why is there anyone here who can breathe?"

Shu Yichao felt very strange: "Drag them all out and hang them on the flagpole——"

"Princess Sophia!" Seeing the elite horse archers approaching them with ropes, Willis's profiteers were immediately frightened.

They quickly cried to Sophia.

"Didn't you say that as long as we hand over the ledger, we will be let go?"

"How can you break your promise!?"

"Oh?" Princess Sophia looked at the profiteers of Willis who had runny noses and tears, and gently performed the etiquette of a palace noble——

Then she tilted her head and revealed a playful smile.

"Sorry - I lied."

"Hey."

Chapter 53 - The Peninsula is Burning

"The news hasn't come back yet?"

Councilor Vinier pushed up his glasses.

Logically speaking, the envoy to the Norma Empire should have returned with good news long ago.

Yes, that's good news.

Senator Venier felt that his combination was quite perfect.

After all, if the Norma Empire wants to fall out, it will not only be on fire from all sides, but also be cut off from shipping. This is not something that a country that has just made progress can face.

And even if he wanted to be tough, the nobles in the city would probably riot and sacrifice the city.

What else can a homeless emperor do?

As for the Khitans, first of all, they have no ships, and secondly, their huge sums of money are still in the hands of the Willis people.

With this huge sum of money as bait, we can test the bottom line of the Khitans bit by bit, and then...

At the thought of holding the golden route to Khitan in his hands, Councilor Venier couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

Even if you are just a second-rate dealer, the benefits will be more than a hundred times greater! ?

When the time comes, my family will be able to—

"Report!"

At this time, a sweaty messenger came running outside.

"what's up?"

Councilor Venier put down his account book and asked calmly.

"I, I -" the messenger was speechless and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Huh?" Councilor Venier frowned.

"——Let me tell you." At this moment, an old man walked in from outside the door.

"Ambassador?" Senator Venier recognized the person opposite. Isn't this Ambassador Willis stationed in Athens...

How did he get here?

"Mr. Congressman..." The ambassador looked extremely nervous and felt as if he had aged ten years.

"There may be a slight mistake in our plan."

Then Congressman Vinier received a series of bad news about a series of explosive explosions.

"what!?"

"Khitan Caesar hanged our envoy?"

"Then he slaughtered almost all the nobles in Thessalonica!?"

"Can't find the person who dedicated the city!?"

"This Khitan Caesar doesn't even have a reason to kill nobles?"

"Then the Khitan Caesar came all the way to the Balkans and killed him!?"

"Are all the forces along the way willing to use the road?"

"Their relationship with the Norma Empire is not good either. Wouldn't they stop them?"

"Huh? They were all killed by Khitan Caesar?"

"So useless?"

"The Khitan Caesar destroyed the city when he saw it and destroyed all our warehouses, ports, and ships!?"

"As long as they are Willis people, if they are caught, they will be hanged, and no prisoners will be left?"

One bad news after another hit Vinier in the face.

She took a few steps back before barely standing still.

But his face was already livid.

She doesn't care whether people in other countries and regions die or not, and she doesn't care whether those Noma nobles who want to betray the country are finished or not...

But if Willis's colony is burned to ashes, this will be a big problem!

Without those excellent ports and constant trade, Willis would never be able to develop as a commercial city-state.

The Khitan Caesar alone is currently burning like wildfire in the Balkans, devouring all Willis colonies along the way——

The damage caused to Willis has been immeasurable!

How could someone not choose to occupy, but directly destroy! ?

Venier couldn't figure it out.

Even if those opponents in the past took Willis's colony, they would still manage it well.

Therefore, Willis only needs to recharge his batteries and regain the colony again.

But now...

useless!

Completely useless!

Even if we pull Willis's elite fleet over, it won't work!

We can't let these soldiers work as coolies to rebuild the port.

The loss goes beyond the obvious...

You know, Willis is not without opponents - both Gerea and Milan are eyeing Willis's current position and want to replace him.

Venier didn't need to think too much, he knew that when word spread about Willis's loss, these opponents would celebrate and then add insult to injury together.

If all this really develops like this...

Impeachment in parliament alone can drown her and bring huge disaster to her family!

Even if her cousin is the governor, he can't protect her!

"This, this..." Venier was a little incoherent.

"Hmph! You politicians!" At this moment, the former admiral stationed in Constantinople, who appeared in the room at some point, cursed with hatred.

"Every day I know how to keep an eye on those huge profits."

"In my greed, I completely forgot about the trap next to me!"

"Even in the story, it is said that there is a giant dragon squatting next to the priceless treasure - why did you completely forget about it as soon as it came to reality?"

Venier's feet were a little weak, and she still felt a little unbelievable.

"Isn't Emperor Norma afraid that we will blockade his ports, cut off their food supply, and let his subjects starve to death one after another?"

"Let's not mention that the emperor of Norma has gained a lot from Osman's treasury..." the admiral asked.

"Even we don't care about the lives of the Norma people."

"Why do you think that the Khitan Caesar, a Khitan, would care about the lives of the Norma people?"

"..."

The admiral still had something to say.

According to the current speed of Khitan Caesar's advancement...

Even if Willis blocks shipping, I'm afraid the Willis people will be hacked to death before the Norma people starve to death.

"..." Venier pursed his lips.

She had to admit that she seemed to have made a ridiculously wrong decision.

Not only were the Khitans not intimidated by the pressure exerted by Willis, but they showed their machetes at them.

Venier could imagine how the Willis colonies in the Balkans were being attacked one after another and burned one after another. The ports were turned into rubble and the battleships were turned into charred wood...

Wherever the bloody double-headed eagle went, everyone trembled!

[Host, how many Willis properties have you invested in? 】

System 12345 yawned and came online again.

[Tsk, I’m still stuck here—this delay is so frustrating. 】

[Hmm, that's pretty fast. 】

System 12345 was surprised to find that Shu Yichao's movement speed was much faster than it imagined.

Then, the screen suddenly jumped to the scene of Shu Yichao galloping on his horse, as if he was rushing towards the next city.

[Hey, my host is so good-looking and hard-working——]
