249 Episode 7 Battle off the board (1/2)

”......, Emperor.

What's wrong?

Hercule had just finished healing his hand and was taking a hot bath when he was visited by ......

It's still light.

It's still light.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty.

She bowed her head deeply.

Hercule gave a small, snorting laugh.

”What are you talking about?

”The war with the Foulth, it would be wise to make peace with them.

At Lunalie's words, Hercule raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

In the event that you're not sure what to do, you can always ask for help.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

”What are you trying to say?

The Kingdom of Khayastan would have to come to the peace table.

The Kingdom of Khayastan is a very important state for both Lemuria and Phars.

This time, Sasan VIII invaded Lemuria by way of crossing the Flato River. ......

As Hercule had predicted, it would have been faster to go through the Kingdom of Khayastan.

This is true for both Lemuria and Fars.

The Kingdom of Khayastan is also a hub of transit trade between Lemuria, Phars, Kurotsuki, and the northern countries.

The Kingdom of Hayastan is also one of the largest granaries in the world.

The economic benefits are not insignificant.

Sasan VIII will definitely claim the Kingdom of Khayastan.

It would be good if the Kingdom of Hayastan only became a province of Fars, but ...... at worst, it could become a province.

The reason why Lunalie is offering her body to Hercule is so that he can protect the Kingdom of Hayastan.

In order to fulfill his promise, Hercule is going to fight Foulds until the end.

Lemuria's vassals, the Senate, will advise him to cut down the kingdom of Khayastan. ...... You pretended to be angry in order to silence that opinion.

Then Lunalie bowed her head again.

”Thank you ...... for defending our country, our homeland. Thank you ...... for defending our country, our homeland. Your Majesty ......, but please take it easy. Your ...... country can be reclaimed.

For Lunalie, the Kingdom of Khayastan is the most important thing.

But if the Lemurian Empire suffers a fatal defeat in order to protect ...... it, everything will be lost.

Of course, the Kingdom of Khayastan will never come back.

...... I think you've misunderstood something. Luna.

Hercule got up from the tub.

He took Lunalee's hand and grabbed her head with his other hand and pressed his lips against her lustrous lips.

”Nchu......

I'm not pushing it. It's a good idea to take into account the fact that you're going to ...... lose the war in the first place. You just have to win in the end. We have all the trump cards for that.

”...... trump card?

First of all, I built the Great Wall on the premise that the ...... border defense line would be brought down. There's no fortress that can't fall.

No matter how impregnable a castle or fortress is, it can fall.

That's why Hercule had in mind what would happen after they fell.

Next, ......, there are measures to bridge the gap in strength. We are not at a one-sided disadvantage.

Originally, it was known that there was a huge gap in national and military power between the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Fars.

That's why I've been planning to close the gap for several years now.

In the first place, I am the co-ruler of the Kingdom of Khayastan. In other words, I'm also the king of Hayastan. It's only natural for me to protect the Kingdom of Hayastan.

”Hmm. ......

Hercule embraces Lunalie and crawls his lips on the nape of her white neck.

And ...... the kingdom of Khayastan will be inherited by me and your son. There is no reason to give it to Sasan VIII.

”...... Yes.

Hercule pushed Lunalie down.

Lunalie looked up at Hercule with an upturned expression.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

No matter how many troops you have, you will never have enough. I'll use Hayastan's troops.

”...... Yes, I will give everything. So, please.

”I'm willing.

Lip to lip.

Meanwhile, Nova Lemuria.

”Her Highness Scheherazade!　Where do you think you're going?

Her followers desperately tried to stop Scheherazade, who wore silver armor and beautiful blond hair.

But Scheherazade does not seem to stop.

She walks silently to the stables.

Where to?　To her husband, the Emperor, of course.

'Oh, no!　We're under orders from the Emperor to keep His Highness in the palace!

When the war between Lemuria and Fars begins, ......

Scheherazade is the one who will be in the most vulnerable position.

Sheherazade's position would be compromised if she were to simply divert information from Lemuria to Phallus.

The worst that can happen is that he will be driven back to Phallus by the danger of his homeland and his righteous indignation.

”Yes!　I'm going to help you!　Get out of the way ......

Get out of my way!

”Get out of my way!” Scheherazade was about to shout.

Sheherazade was about to shout, ”Get out of my way!” when what appeared to be a messenger from Hercule came running towards her.

He kneels down in front of Scheherazade.

He knelt before Scheherazade. ”Forgive my rudeness. Things must be done quickly. ......

”What is it?

”A decree from the Emperor. His Highness, Scheherazade, is to proceed to Orontia City at once!

Scheherazade's followers' eyes widened at these words.

Scheherazade smiled fearlessly.

And that's the way it is, Your Majesty. ...... Now, prepare the horses!

Hurriedly, the attendants pulled Scheherazade's horse out.

In the meantime, Scheherazade clutched the rosary around her neck with her hand.

I'm sorry I'm not a filial daughter. Father, mother. But ...... I have given my life to the Lord and to you.

...... I ask for your understanding.

And so Scheherazade headed for Orontia City.

On the other hand, there is a city-state on the Havilah Peninsula.

One of Lemuria's many allies.

The Lemurian Empire's large fleet was lined up in its military port.

Among them, boarding the largest flagship is ...... a man with blue eyes who vaguely resembles Hercule in appearance.

He is the Governor of the Lemurian Imperial Navy, Christos.

He has been working in the Sea of Rubel to secure sea control over the Havilah Peninsula and capture pirates.

It's a humble but important job ...... that protects the safety of the Lemurian Empire's maritime trade.

The emperor is notorious for his reckless orders.

Hercule ordered Christos to do one thing.

To lead a fleet into the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Fahls.

He wants you to attract the enemy.

Of course, there is no landing force because there is no room for troops.

So it's just a check and balance. ......

If a large fleet appears on the coast not far from the capital, or even just the information that a large fleet of the Lemurian Empire is heading for the Kingdom of Fars, we can put strategic pressure on Sasan VIII.

It's going to be a dangerous voyage,......, but it's a battle for the fate of this country. Most importantly, it's the first time in a long time!　Let's make sure we bring victory to Lemuria.

And so the great fleet of the Lemurian Empire left the harbor.

It passed through the Sea of Rubel, rounded the Havilah Peninsula, and began to advance ...... into the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Phars.
