“…” Frederina felt like her common sense had been rattled.

The Scourge of God, like the rumors say, is really a ravishing young man?

Despite having heard about it beforehand, it was still shocking to see it in person.

Have I become his prisoner?

Up to this point, Frederina was still in a state of disbelief, but she decided to lower her head and confront the situation she was in.

“…Big brother.”

The Holy Romain Empire came later than the Eastern Romain Empire, so it was somewhat appropriate for her to address Shu Yichao as ‘big brother’. Her aides, who had been captured too, also lowered their heads.

“Esteemed Caesar. Revered emperor.”

Much to Frederina’s shock, she saw Shu Yichao whipping out a metal cudgel.

“I think there’s something in the notifications saying that I should deal with this target with a blunt weapon?” Shu Yichao murmured.

Too much information had popped out at once—and most of them were useless—so the impatient him skipped most of them.

“…”

Why is the Scourge of God whipping out his weapon?!

Panicked, Frederina quickly resorted to her coyest voice, saying, “My beloved big brother…”

This trick had never failed her, especially against hot-headed youths. Beauties like her easily evoked sympathy from others. Even if she were to become a helpless prisoner that others took advantage of, the important thing was to survive this crisis first…

Her actions caused Sophia to stiffen up.

A soldier immediately stepped forward and hurled two slaps on Frederina, causing her hair to scatter unkempt and her cheeks to swell.

Sophia then looked at Shu Yichao.

The latter was trying out the metal cudgel. It appeared to have piqued his interest quite a bit, as he excitedly swung it around. “The sound it makes is so pleasing!”

He was too focused on his weapon to spare a glance at Frederina.

Sophia pondered for a moment before speaking up with a light-hearted tone, “Actually, we brought you here for questioning, but I suddenly remember how you went ahead to poison our Caesar without any warning. I suppose we can skip the questioning. Any last words? You may speak your piece before we send you on your way.”

They are going to execute me even though we just met?!

Where’s the coercion?!

Where’s the forced surrender?!

I am the Holy Romain Empress!

Frederina, who had always prided herself on her lofty birth, was scared silly. Faced with the threat of imminent death, she crumbled to the ground and desperately begged for mercy.

“Big brother, big sister, please spare me! I was foolish and arrogant, but I’ll never do it again! You can have everything in the treasury! I’ll compensate you however much you want! You can have any land you ask for! Just please don’t kill me…

“I-I’ll even back out of the Crusade and support you with troops and supplies!!!”

【Oh hoh!】

System 12345 looked at the data in front of him and cheered.

【We’re close to success. She tried to resist, but she was overpowered. She tried to retreat, only to find herself cornered. She fell to the ground, shedding pitiful tears as she desperately begged to be let off the hook.】

System 12345 was thrilled.

【Push on, my host! Don’t let her go! Teach her a huge lesson with your gigantic rod!】

【…】

【Tsk, I’m not as excited as I thought I would be.】

System 12345 pondered about why that was the case.

【My past experience tells me that things won’t end that simply. Um… Maybe I shouldn’t pop my champagne that fast? Let’s first leave some room for doubt…】

“Heh.” Shu Yichao was done toying with his metal cudgel. He turned to Frederina and her aides with malevolent eyes. “Now that I have a hammer in my hands, everyone looks like nails to me.”

“NO—!”

Bam! Pak!

With a miserable cry, the Blood Rosalia was smashed into the ground.

“That’s weird. Where’s my reward?” Shu Yichao fiddled with his metal cudgel. “Oh well, maybe it’s just suggesting an execution method. This mod appears to only provide me with information and resources before a battle…”

【…】

【Hah. Hahaha. I knew this would happen.】

“Caesar!”

Now that the battle was finally over, Sophia rushed up to Shu Yichao and looked at him with twinkling eyes.

“Caesar, I defeated the White Knight!” She pulled his arms with a look that said ‘Praise me, praise me!’ “What do you think? Am I incredible?”

“Yes, yes. You are incredible.”

Shu Yichao glanced at Sophia’s stats, and once again, he was convinced that the development team had just randomly filled up her details. She was growing at an unbelievable rate.

But I like it. fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗯𝗻ovel.c𝐨m

“As expected of my overpowered subordinate!”

“Ehehe!”

“Shall we see who we should pummel next?” Shu Yichao tapped into his minimap and pondered.

I have killed the Sultana, hung the Chief Supervisor, vanquished the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and curbed the fake Rome…

As I expected, the next one I should have a taste of is…

An idea popped into Sophia’s mind. She beckoned a new army’s commander over and issued an order, “Have your men spread a rumor, saying that the Eastern Romain’s Basilinna disguised the blood eagle flag as the blood twin-headed eagle flag to scare off Vienna’s garrison troops before proceeding to take down the city.

“However, she realized that she didn’t have enough troops to hold the city, so she’s desperately trying to retreat right now.”

If Sophia had claimed Vienna by chance alone, she would have quickly withdrawn her troops and escaped too. Her assault might have worked, but it was not due to her valiance and wits but Frederina’s utter foolishness.

It would be wise to escape after pulling one over them. Otherwise, she would be the one to suffer once the Holy Romain Empire pulled itself together.

But now…

It would be such a waste if we don’t let out some fake news to lure the Holy Romain Empire’s soldiers here to their death.

…

“We have to chase after them!”

Vienna has been reduced to ruins, and the empress is dead.

When this news spread through the Holy Romain Empire, the people were first taken aback before they were struck with irrepressible rage.

This was a humiliation!

Many nobles, knights, and soldiers quickly came together to chase after Sophia, who was said to be trying to escape from their country.

As for how Frederina was defeated… they weren’t bothered about it at all.

Well, it just wasn’t surprising for her to lose a war. If anything, they would be surprised if she won instead.

“Up ahead!”

“I see it! It’s the blood eagle flag!”

A group of knights cheered in excitement.

“Quick, call those behind!”

“We need to catch them!”

“Massacre them!”

“There’s no need for prisoners!”

“We have to punish those who dare to undermine the empire’s… Huh?”

The knights halted their steeds and exchanged looks.

“Am I… seeing things? How many eagle heads are there on that flag?”

“I might be seeing double too. Somehow I see two.”

“Me too.”

“Two for me too.”

“…”

The world fell silent.

The next second, the knights turned tail and fled.

“Run! It’s the Scourge of God!”

“IT’S THE FRIGGIN’ SCOURGE OF GOD!”

“We’re goners!”

They cursed those who had delivered the news to them as they fled.

All of you must be blind! Can’t you count how many eagle heads are there on the flag? Damn it! Your failure might just cost me my head!

However, it was too late to escape.

They, together with the footsoldiers they had brought, were encircled by Shu Yichao.

The swift Elite Horse Archers had moved quickly to flank them, prompting the Holy Romain soldiers to squeeze together out of fright. Some knights tried to slaughter their way out of the encirclement, but their attempt at resistance was swiftly quelled.

Then, the world suddenly shook.

The Holy Romain soldiers watched with utmost terror as Shu Yichao charged over with an army of gleaming Metal Fortresses.

Moments later, silence returned to the world.

“Let’s go!”

After eliminating another army of the Holy Romain Empire, Shu Yichao turned his sight to Italy. “Now that we are done dyeing the Holy Roman Empire, let’s see how strong the Pope is.”
