On the vast sea.
One big ship sailed quickly.
Looking from the air, you can see densely packed large ships on the sea.
These were the armies of the Roman Empire.
At the very front was a huge battleship with the flag of the Roman Empire on it.
Queen Victoria of the Roman Empire was on a battleship.
This time the attack on Tianzhu was led by Queen Victoria herself. In fact, when Valens came before, there were not so many people coming, and even no one in the Roman Empire was willing to come to Tianzhu.
Enjoy the happiness in China, and live a relaxed and comfortable life.
However, Valens sent back a letter and reported it to Queen Victoria, saying that there is a large amount of gold in Tianzhu, there are gold mountains and silver mines everywhere, and there are rich resources everywhere.
However, Tianzhu was now invaded by another empire. Valens' own troops were insufficient and needed more reinforcements.
After Queen Victoria read the letter, she did not make a big announcement or even summon the nobles in the country. She just quietly mobilized the power of her direct descendants to prepare to go to Tianzhu.
Queen Victoria's arrangement was very simple, but this act of eating alone aroused the curiosity of countless nobles in the Roman Empire.
People are curious.
The same was true for the nobles of the Roman Empire.
Queen Victoria didn't say anything, and these people became more curious. When they inquired about the news and learned that the Grand Duke Valens, arranged by the Queen, had discovered fertile land in Tianzhu, discovered a large number of gold mountains and silver mines, and was preparing to send troops to sea, the nobles from all over the Roman Empire went crazy.
They all went to the imperial capital to meet the queen and expressed their intention to go to war. Moreover, they all brought their own weapons and food, and were self-sufficient in everything.
Queen Victoria accepted everyone who came.
Her original intention was to need a large number of troops to participate in the battle, because Valens's letter mentioned that the Ming army was very powerful, and her own direct force alone was not enough to win victory.
She just used a little trick, and everything was different.
It is precisely because of this that there are so many warships on the vast sea, which is unprecedented.
In the past, the Roman Empire also conquered nearby areas, but never on such a scale. Because many big nobles would rather stay locally than go out to fight, but this time there are very many.
Each noble brought his own troops.
The number of troops in the entire Roman Empire has exceeded 80,000, and the number of battleships consumed is also extremely huge.
On board the Queen's flagship.
Queen Victoria, wearing a crown and gorgeous robes, stood on the side of the ship, with an expectant look on her face. She was only about thirty years old, and she looked graceful, charming and dignified.
However, her expression was cold, giving people the feeling of eternal frost, as if she could freeze people at any time.
Queen Victoria looked at a maid next to her and asked: "How far is it to reach Tianzhu?"
The maid said: "Your Majesty, you asked before and said that there are still two or three days to go. It will take another two or three days at most to reach Tianzhu. The main reason is that we encountered wind and waves near the sea before, so we were delayed. .Otherwise, we should have arrived long ago."
Queen Victoria nodded and said: "Seize the time and arrive at Suratu City in Tianzhu as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Valens can't stop it, Surador City will be lost. It will not be easy for us to land and fight."
"clear!"
The maid nodded in reply.
Victoria looked at the endless sea and the distant scenery with expectation in her eyes.
He looked forward to the Jinshan Silver Mine and expected to return home with a full load.
The expansion of land is not what Victoria looks forward to most, because the Roman Empire's current territories are unprecedentedly powerful. Queen Victoria relied on local nobles to maintain her rule over such a huge land.
In fact, Queen Victoria also wanted to centralize power. She wanted to abolish the right of nobles to govern local areas. She wanted to monopolize power and control all local areas. But she tried it once and almost caused a rebellion.
Eventually, Queen Victoria stopped.
The structure of the Roman Empire was mainly that the center, as the largest noble, controlled the largest piece of cake. The other nobles each held their own territory, nominally respecting the Roman Empire and belonging to the Roman Empire.
This is the federal way.
"There are battleships ahead, and a battleship is coming."
Suddenly, on a battleship not far away, the sentinel responsible for looking into the distance shouted loudly. After the shout came, the sentry observed carefully and loudly said again: "It's our ship, with the flag of the empire hanging on it."
When Queen Victoria heard this, she immediately ordered her to come closer.
The two sides walked towards each other and soon met.
Victoria encountered a ship that was withdrawing and immediately ordered the person in charge on the ship to meet at the flagship.
After a while, Libius arrived on the flagship.
Libius was escorted to the port, and then boarded a ship with more than a thousand people and went to sea. It's just that they went out to sea slowly. As they sailed along, they didn't expect to encounter Queen Victoria who was coming halfway.
Libius bent down and saluted, saying: "Sinner Libius, pay homage to Her Majesty the Queen."
Victoria looked at Libius and saw that Libius looked decadent, his clothes were stained with blood, and his clothes were disheveled, making him look very embarrassed. There was a touch of helplessness on her cold face, because Libius called himself a sinner.
That's the problem.
Obviously, Valens must have lost.
Victoria turned to look coldly and asked coldly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Libius said quickly: "Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, this time we were defeated in Suraduo City and were defeated by the Ming Dynasty's army."
Immediately, Libius began to explain the situation. From the time they raided Guan Yu and captured Suraduo City, they began to continuously counterattack Guan Yu, but were always blocked by Guan Yu.
In the end, when he was about to defeat Guan Yu, he was attacked by Lu Xuan, so that he failed and had to retreat to Surathuo Town to defend.
During the garrison, Libius told Valens about his arrangements, and arranged for people to rush to the Guwani Port to help, but they were killed and defeated. Finally, Lu Xuan arranged for people to sneak into the city and set fire everywhere. The inside should be combined with the outside to break the city.
In desperation, they chose to evacuate, but they were defeated and eventually became Lu Xuan's prisoners.
Victoria is a wise man.
Very scheming.
Although she is a woman and young, she has her own thoughts and opinions on the situation. She said in a deep voice: "I understand the situation you mentioned. However, since everyone has You became a prisoner, why did you come back?"
Libius said: "Your Majesty the Queen, this is Lu Xuan's arrangement. He, he, he wants to declare war and humiliate you."
Victoria said solemnly: "What on earth is going on? Tell me?"
Libius said; "Lu Xuan said that he would declare war on Her Majesty the Queen, destroy the Roman Empire, arrest Her Majesty the Queen, let Her Majesty the Queen kneel in front of Lu Xuan, become Lu Xuan's woman, and let Her Majesty the Queen take the place of He warms the bed.”
"Damn it!"
Victoria suddenly became angry.
Damn Lu Xuan.
How audacious!
Victoria said solemnly: "So Lu Xuan's purpose is to release you back and specifically announce what he said?"
"yes!"
Libius answered immediately.
Victoria was extremely angry, but after her anger, she quickly regained her composure and asked again: "You have fought against Lu Xuan, and you have seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Tell me, what kind of person is Lu Xuan?" people?"
"Cunning, ruthless, and unscrupulous."
Libius expressed his judgment without hesitation, and further said: "The most important point is that this man is very smart, as if he knows things like a god. Our people went to the port to stabilize the port. Garrison. However, Lu Xuan also arranged for people to go there in advance, causing all the efforts to be in vain. "
"As for Lu Xuan's army, it is even more elite."
"Lu Xuan's cavalry is very powerful. We also attacked with cavalry, but were defeated. With the same number of troops and the same army of cavalry, we were defeated under the premise of a head-on confrontation between the two sides."
"The combat effectiveness of the opponent's army is very strong."
Libius spoke quickly and further said: "One more thing, Lu Xuan is very supported by the Tianzhu people in Tianzhu. Because the original system of Tianzhu is a rule called the caste system, which sets the rules for Brahmins and Brahmins. Dili were nobles, Vaishyas and Sudras were untouchables, treating untouchables like livestock. After Lu Xuan arrived in Tianzhu, he directly overturned the caste system and killed all the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, restoring everything. So countless The untouchables all support Lu Xuan. This situation is the current situation in Tianzhu."
Libius was thinking about Valens. He publicly accused the queen and openly defended Lu Xuan.
The responsibility must be placed on Valens.
Libius further said: "Your Majesty, this time we were defeated and all of us became prisoners. None of us have avatars, but the Grand Duke Valens has surrendered."
The expression on Victoria's face became serious.
She is not a shallow woman.
She is a person with her own governing philosophy and ambitions, and she clearly knows the strategies and directions for governing the country.
Lu Xuan captured Tianzhu and gained the support of the people. Coupled with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, it also made the Ming army difficult to deal with. Although the Roman Empire's own army was very powerful, at least the trip to Tianzhu would not go smoothly.
What she didn't expect even more was that Valens would betray him.
Victoria knew Valens.
This man is very discerning.
This man is very wise.
Moreover, with the courage to expand the territory, Victoria actually surrendered now, which really surprised Victoria.
Victoria asked: "What's going on?"
Libius quickly said: "Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, after all of us became prisoners, we all resisted the Ming army, and everyone did not recognize the Ming army. But when Lu Xuan called all our prisoners together, Valens But he stood up and publicly accused Her Majesty the Queen."
Victoria's face became even more cold, and she asked coldly: "Why did he accuse him?"
Libius said: "Valens said that Her Majesty the Queen came to power through conspiracy, coquettishness, and coquettishness. He said that only after meeting the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did he know what kind of person the wise and mighty emperor was. Valens said Lens concluded by saying that Her Majesty the Queen is destined to fall at the feet of the Ming Emperor."
Victoria's expression was even more gloomy.
His expression turned completely cold.
Originally, she was still able to accept Valens' defeat. She felt that although he was defeated, victory and defeat were actually commonplace in military affairs. Although it affects her ability to seize Tianzhu, the army she brings will definitely win.
Now, Valens was acting so verbally responsible in front of countless people.
This is it.
Victoria calmed down and said coldly: "I will defeat the Ming Emperor and let the Ming Emperor know how powerful the Roman Empire is. I will even capture Valens again and let him know the consequences of betrayal."
Libius felt relieved.
This time, the responsibility was shouldered by Valens, so he felt a little more relaxed.
Victoria looked at Libius on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Libius, although the coach this time is Valens, he has an unshirkable responsibility. However, as his subordinate, you also have the same responsibility. The responsibility cannot be shied away from."
Libius was panicked, and he quickly said: "I am guilty, please convict your Majesty the Queen."
Victoria further said: "Since you know the situation in Tianzhu, I give you a chance to forgive. This time we are going to land in Tianzhu and defeat the Ming army to find the Jinshan gold mine. How do you think we should fight?"
Libius said quickly: "Your Majesty, we are still some distance away from Tianzhu. If we go to Tianzhu from here, if we land under normal circumstances, we will definitely encounter unprecedented resistance. This is very inappropriate and very unwise?"
Victoria looked approvingly and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
