I'm back to help you conquer the world in one fell swoop!
With just one sentence, the king of Lancelot Empire, who had been frowning in anxiety for the past few years, was suddenly freed from his deep worries. Lawrence looked at Han Shuo, who hadn't changed much. He didn't know why, but he felt an indescribable sense of trust.
It was as though as long as Han Shuo was in Lancelot Empire, he and the country had nothing to worry about!
Even Lawrence couldn't understand what was going on with this feeling. Perhaps it was because Han Shuo's actions in the past few years had confirmed astrologer Grace's judgment. Or perhaps it was because Han Shuo had brought him all sorts of surprises before he had even become king!
Facing the invasion of two powerful enemies, the Empire of Orcs and Kasi Empire, Lawrence, as the ruler of a nation, had racked his brains to think of ways to reverse this unfavorable situation. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't find a suitable way to deal with these two great troubles.
It was at this moment that Han Shuo returned!
Pleasant surprise instantly filled Lawrence's face. Lawrence, who had always presented himself as a mature and steady person for the past few years, was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent, "You're back! That's great, that's great! That damned Light Pope is indeed a despicable villain! Brian, I didn't let you down. I didn't let the empire down. Apart from external threats, the empire no longer has any internal worries! "
Smiling and nodding, Han Shuo's state of mind had become increasingly stable as his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. With his current realm, he could naturally tell that Lawrence's words were indeed from the bottom of his heart. "There's no need for superfluous words. Before I came to see you, I had already clearly understood your efforts over the years. This time, I have come to help you resolve your current troubles, "Han Shuo said in a deep voice.
"Good! Good! Good! "Lawrence said 'good' three times in a row. He laughed heartily and said," It's been five years since we last met, and you've become even more domineering than before! That's great! With you in Lancelot Empire, I can finally be at ease! "
With a wave of his hand, a chair from afar steadily flew and landed behind Han Shuo. Han Shuo sat down calmly and looked straight at the agitated Lawrence. He laid back comfortably and lazily said, "The current situation on the continent may seem chaotic and complicated, but in fact, it's nothing more than the struggle between the few major religions. The Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice are the most powerful. Therefore, the Oden Empire and Kasi Empire, which are supported by them, also have the upper hand."
"Not bad!" When facing Han Shuo, Lawrence not only didn't have the arrogance that an emperor should have, but he also deliberately lowered his stance and said angrily, "I didn't believe that a religious organization could be behind a huge state, but now I believe it. The effect of an existence that stands above all other experts to a religion or a nation is simply too immeasurable! "
After hearing Lawrence's words, Han Shuo put on a faint smile. He understood that Lawrence must have learned something in the past few years. It seemed that the two demigod existences of the Church of Light and the six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race should have made him deeply understand the importance of the threat an expert could pose to a nation. "Be at ease. From today onwards, those experts will no longer pose any threat to us. And our Lancelot Empire, just like how we conquered the seven grand duchies back then, will conquer the entire Profound Continent in one fell swoop! "
Han Shuo's words were resolute and decisive! Absolutely savage! However, not only did Lawrence not feel that Han Shuo was being presumptuous, he instead felt an indescribable sense of peace and excitement that he was forcibly suppressing.
Han Shuo extended a finger and arrogantly said, "One month. In one month, I will help you sweep away all the experts of hostile religions!"
Even Lawrence, who was extremely confident in Han Shuo, was somewhat stunned. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Han Shuo's might, but that one month's time was just too short. And he deeply understood how terrifying the strength behind the enemy was!
In just one month's time, Han Shuo had declared that he would sweep away all the religious experts on Profound Continent who were enemies of Lancelot Empire. This, this was just too savage, too arrogant!
Lawrence looked at Han Shuo with some uncertainty and probed, "Brian, isn't one month a little too short? That alien race behind the Brut Merchant Alliance, that one from the Sacred Mountain of the Church of Light, that Ice …"
"Say no more!" Han Shuo smilingly interrupted Lawrence's description and said domineeringly, "You only need to prepare to mobilize the entire nation's military forces and clean up the mess for me. In the future, there will only be one empire on Profound Continent, and that is our Lancelot Empire! "
Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo stood up and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "If you trust me, then get ready!"
"Of course I trust you, but …" Lawrence didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, It's been five years since we last met. Han Shuo's appearance hasn't changed much, but why has his character become so insolent and domineering?
"Very well! Let's split up. I'll be the main attacker and you'll be the support. That will do! " Han Shuo immediately made his decision and said with a calm smile, "Alright then, I'll take my leave. Starting from the Empire of Orcs at the southern border, our Lancelot Empire's war of conquest officially begins!"
Like an erratic ghostly shadow, Han Shuo's figure concealed in the darkness and vanished without a trace. Lawrence stared at Han Shuo with his eyes wide open. He felt as though Han Shuo had suddenly blended into the darkness, leaving no trace behind.
… …
South Border City of the Empire of Orcs at the southern border of Lancelot Empire.
The shadow of war had shrouded South Border City. Since the Empire of Orcs launched their first frenzied attack two years ago, South Border City had been embroiled in dozens of big and small battles. Compared to the Empire of Orcs in the past, the orcs in the past two years seemed to have all gone mad. Not only had they gone mad, but they had also become unprecedentedly united and stubborn. ·
In the past two years, Firenze, known as the empire's number one military commander, had led the empire's most powerful Howling Legion and firmly defended South Border City, never relaxing for a single day. In the beginning, not only was Firenze able to defend South Border City with ease, but he was also able to launch an attack outside the city and achieve victory in one or two pursuit battles.
However, gradually, more and more orc troops gathered outside South Border City. Like a dense swarm of locusts, they covered the vast plains outside the city and attacked South Border City in a frenzied manner without fear of death.
This was the art of tactical command. Even Firenze didn't dare to go out of the city to face the Empire of Orcs who outnumbered them by too much, especially on the plains. Slowly, the Empire of South Border City that was able to defend the city with ease was whittled down bit by bit under the relentless bombardment of the enemy.
At the same time, Kasi Empire to the west of the empire also launched a ferocious attack on the empire. The empire's army that had yet to recover from the invasion of the seven grand duchies was mostly devoted to defending Kasi Empire. They were simply unable to provide any reinforcements for South Border City.
Without an advantage, no matter how marvelous Firenze's art of command was, he did not have enough troops at his disposal. In the face of the never-ending onslaught of the Empire of Orcs, the South Border City gradually became powerless.
In every battle, the South Border City's army would be whittled down. Fortunately, the people of the southern border were valiant, Firenze had a lofty status in the southern border, and His Majesty Lawrence's reputation had spread far and wide. Many able-bodied men voluntarily gave up their original occupations and threw themselves into the resistance against the Empire of Orcs for the sake of the safety of their homeland.
It was precisely because of this that South Border City could hold its ground for two years without being breached!
There would come a day when manpower was depleted. Two years later, more than half of the South Border City's men in their prime had been depleted. Faced with the orcs' seemingly tireless siege and the deaths that they suffered, many people's willpower had gradually become dispirited.
The day before yesterday, the city gate was almost breached. South Border City was shrouded in unprecedented panic!
"We're done for. No matter how powerful Lord Firenze is, there's nothing he can do without troops at his disposal!"
"Sigh, what should we do? His Lordship has indeed treated us well. His Majesty the King is also wise. I really don't want to leave this place where I grew up! But, but I don't want to die either! "
"Let's go to Brettel City. It's said that it's the safest city in the entire Lancelot Empire! After all, it's Lord Brian's city. Although Lord Brian has disappeared for five years, His Lordship has a group of miraculous experts by his side. There shouldn't be any danger there! "
"Sigh, I still don't want to leave my hometown unless it's absolutely necessary! Let's wait and see. If it really doesn't work out, we'll have no choice but to migrate thousands of miles in order to survive! "
"…"
Such conversations had been occurring frequently in recent days, and the frequency was getting higher and higher. Under the threat of death, everyone had to plan for themselves. Brettel City, which had been peaceful for the past few years and had developed rapidly in terms of military strength and financial resources, had unexpectedly become the first choice for everyone to migrate to.
Just as the people of South Border City were in a state of panic, on this day, the magical transportation matrix within the city, which had not lit up for a long time, suddenly blossomed with brilliant light.
"Eh, Miss, Miss has returned!" the chief imperial guard cried out in surprise. He was beyond excited to see the radiant Fanny.
"Where is my father?" Fanny did not waste any time. She knitted her brows and asked straightforwardly.
"His Lordship is on top of the city walls, reinforcing the city walls with the civilians. Sigh, he hasn't come down for a day and a night!" the chief imperial guard sighed softly, seemingly worried for Firenze.
"Come, let's go see Father!" Fanny pulled Han Shuo and flew out of the city.
"Who's that?" the chief imperial guard stared blankly for a moment and suddenly asked in puzzlement.
"I don't know. Hasn't Miss Fanny always rejected the advances of any young and talented men? Why, why did she suddenly change her character? "A knight was equally astonished.
"Sigh, Lord Brian has disappeared for so many years. It seems that even Miss has forgotten about His Lordship's contributions to the Empire!"
"Sigh, forget it. We are just lowly soldiers. What's the point of worrying about this? However, Miss doesn't seem to be as loyal as we thought. Sigh, people's hearts are not what they used to be, people's hearts are not what they used to be … "
The sounds of discussion gradually died down.
