Chapter 165 Despicable Means
The eldest prince frowned and looked at Duke Rono, with only one meaning in his eyes - stupidity.
Cortes only felt that Duke Rono was completely panicked at this time, and he could think of such a stupid way to make Princess Irina retreat!
Irina led her army and fought all the way from the south with the momentum of victory. The legions she controlled ensured that she would be able to capture the royal capital. It was only a matter of time.
But Duke Rono was actually talking about some ridiculous idea here - asking him to write a letter to force the princess to retreat.
What a stupid idea!
Thinking of this, the eldest prince even felt a little pity for Duke Rono in front of him.
He has been leading troops for decades, and he never thought that a situation like this would happen today.
"You'd better give up this ridiculous idea."
The eldest prince Cortes said bluntly: "She will never give up the opportunity to reunify the entire Coman Empire because of me, a half-dead prince, and wants to push me out to end the battle. It’s just wishful thinking.”
The eldest prince Cortez said solemnly: "It would be better if you just kill me."
He had figured everything out in the dungeon, and life and death were just a matter of thought.
Months of torture had already made him see clearly that his identity as the eldest prince of the Coman Empire made him extremely painful. But after learning about what the princess Irina had done in the past few months, the eldest prince had an instant desire to The thought of giving up everything and letting Princess Irina ascend the throne.
He is crippled and has already lost his life. Even if he survives until the princess captures the royal capital, his identity will definitely pose a threat to the princess Irina, and may even be used by someone with ulterior motives!
It would be better to let Duke Rono kill him directly. Then his imperial sister Irina will completely launch a deeper liquidation against Duke Rono!
Duke Rono squinted at the eldest prince, looked him up and down with cold eyes, and then suddenly smiled.
"As expected of the eldest prince of the Coman Empire, Emperor Mavia is right."
Duke Rono strangled Cortez's neck directly, "But you can't die yet. Keeping you here will be of great use to me..."
He threw the eldest prince straight back. Cortes finally managed to stand up, but he heard the voice of Duke Rono: "Take him down. Don't take him to the dungeon. Please serve him."
The guards on both sides immediately came to drag the eldest prince, but the eldest prince suddenly broke away: "I can walk by myself!"
"Rono, the crimes of collaboration and treason you have committed are too numerous to list,"
Before leaving the castle, the eldest prince stopped and said to Duke Rono: "Just wait until Irina captures the royal capital and chop off your head!"
"And you people will be liquidated one by one!"
The huge castle was completely silent at this time. They could only hear the sound of heavy shackles rubbing against the ground gradually fading away, and all of them had heavy expressions on their faces.
"Damn things!"
The Duke went crazy again from behind, "Call me the legion leaders, all of them are coming!"
"I want to teach them a lesson they will never forget!"
At this time in the Koman military camp, Princess Irina had just finished talking to many leaders, but the people from the military guidance group sent someone to deliver the news at this moment.
"Your Highness, we have just received an urgent report from the royal capital of Celia."
Instructor Zhao of the guidance group shook the thing in his hand and said loudly: "I'm afraid Luo Nuo is going to jump over the wall in a hurry, and he will use dirty tricks."
The princess took the thing from instructor Zhao's hand and frowned after just looking at it. "mean!"
Irina frowned. What the emergency report said was that in order to prevent his legion members from being directly wiped out again, Duke Rono simply let the Coman people in the city mingle and go out of the city with the legion members in a grand manner. They are coming towards the city where they are!
They thought that this would constrain Irina to do things, and even achieve unexpected results in this way.
But Duke Rono obviously underestimated the psychological limit of Princess Irina at this time.
"I thought he would have some other tricks, but I didn't expect it to be just a little trick like this."
The princess looked at the instructor, "I will take care of this matter. Do you have any other information?"
Instructor Zhao nodded slightly and continued: "According to our reliable information, the eldest prince Cortes is still alive."
"Oh?"
A trace of surprise appeared on Irina's face, and then she returned to normal: "Is Rono making a fuss about him?"
"The information detected by our surveillance equipment is that he now has a broken arm and a blind eye. He used to live in a dungeon, but the environment may be slightly better now."
"Rono originally planned to ask him to write you a letter to force you to withdraw. Later, because he had a strong desire to die, he had to give up the matter in the end."
After listening to the instructor's words, a hint of appreciation appeared on the princess's face: "It seems that my brother has not embarrassed me."
"There is no need to deliberately care about the safety of the eldest prince. We will just treat him as dead."
The princess stood up, walked around and said: "Presumably he must have known our current situation. The royal capital of Celia is very close at hand... If proper pressure is put on Rono, Cortes may still be able to save him. .”
The instructor did not speak. There were very few combined brigades needed in the following operations. Princess Irina already had an army of about 35 at this time. She had sufficient food, grass, weapons and morale. The outpost only needed to hold the formation and be responsible for deterrence. Ordinary There is no need for them to take action in the battle.
"The outpost didn't detect when they were going to attack?"
"There are plans to launch a night attack tonight."
The instructor said calmly: "It is estimated that Rono will send his die-hard elite members to come by then, mainly with air power."
Before the princess could say anything, the instructor had already spoken in advance: "We will help you deal with these people."
"Then thank you..."
Irina nodded, "We must speed up the capture of the royal city of Celia! I will mobilize the entire army today. Only by getting rid of Rono can we completely complete the process of unifying the Coman Empire."
"By the way, Rono also controls a large group of warlocks. The magical power they control cannot be underestimated. Please alert the outpost."
"Warlock? Is there any difference between him and a magister?"
"These are a group of people brought out by Rono from the bitter cold areas of the empire. They do not hesitate to sacrifice their own body organs and parts to forcibly activate various forbidden magics. Dark magic does not have any psychological burden on them to manipulate. , and they know some evil spells, and the magisters are quite displeased with them."
The princess briefly explained and said slightly: "I'm worried that Rono will let these people unite to launch a large-scale forbidden spell magic, just like the large-scale beast tide in the San Anders Mountains!"
