151 Episode 23 Bull gallon murder before




 After the Battle of Belejuen Pass, Hercule dropped some cities on the other side of Belejuen Pass, put up a minimal defensive force, and temporarily sent all the troops back to Lemuria.

 "Are you sure, Your Majesty? I'm almost ready to drop the capital.
 "The logistics won't hold. It is indeed difficult to keep 10,000 troops in one place, and in the first place, the Bulgaron Kingdom does not have the resources to do so.

 Hercule replied to Nia's question with some regret.
 Even though Lunalie has been leading the transport team from the rear base and sending food and arrows, it is impossible to cover all the food.

 Local procurement would inevitably be necessary.
 However, it is difficult to keep more than 10,000 troops moving in the Kingdom of Bulgalon, where food productivity is low to begin with and food shortages have been caused by the economic blockade for many years.
 It is possible if we push ourselves, but there is a risk that it will bankrupt the economy of the Kingdom of Bulgalon.
 We don't want to cause too much damage to the land we are planning to annex.

 We have to bring the prisoners back once, and our strategy will change depending on how the neutral faction, including the Tellitelle clan, will react to this victory. We'll have to rethink our strategy.
 "I see.

 Nia nodded her head in agreement.
 This time, the Lemurian Empire has obtained 200,000 prisoners.

 You can't go to war with this number of prisoners in tow.

 (Besides, I want to hold Alicia for a while.)

 Hercule smiles lecherously.
 Hercule was thinking about how to make Alicia cry.

 (Just in time, I got Alicia's fiancé, ......, a guy named Terelig. (Oh, by the way, it was Nia who got him, wasn't it?

 Hercule looked down at Nia.
 Then Nia looked up at Hercule with sparkling eyes.

 She didn't say it out loud, but her eyes were saying ...... "Hurry up and praise me, hurry up and praise me! Her eyes were telling her.
 Hercule pats Nia on the head.

 "You captured the prince of the Bulgurons, didn't you?
 "Yes!

 Yes!" Nia replied in a loud voice, as if she had been waiting for him.
 I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it.

 "As I recall, I promised to hold you if you did well. This is a good enough achievement. I'll hold you ......, but you're the daughter of the Lucarios, albeit an adopted one. It's not that easy. I'll go over things with Lucanos once. After that, okay?
 "Yes, yes!

 Nia is overjoyed.
 Hercule scratched his cheek.

 (It's a bit politically complicated, though.)

 If you marry Nia, you will be related to the Lucarios, and the Lucanos' power will increase too much.
 However, it is doubtful that Loukanos and the Lucarios would be satisfied with her treatment as a mistress or concubine.

 I've avoided it until now because of the troublesome situation, but I can't take back what I've said.
 I have to fulfill my promise.

 Nevertheless, this can wait.

 What we need to do now is decide what to do.

 Now, I'm looking forward to ...... seeing how this victory plays out.

 Hercule smiled.







 The first thing that Hercule did after arriving in Nova Lemuria was to take Alicia's virginity.

 Naturally, in front of Terelig.

 It was really fun for Hercule to see Alicia in a messy state, even though she was being held in front of her ex-fiancé, or maybe because of that, and Terelig screaming something through her gagged mouth, and finally turning dead-eyed.

 "Huh, huh, your majesty, ......, the Chromium clan is .......
 "Rest assured, your devotion has been noted. As long as you're my wife, you're safe.
 Oh, thank you, .......

 After the deed was done, Alicia bowed to Hercule with an exhausted look on her face.
 After the act, Alicia bowed her head to Hercule with an exhausted look on her face. Hercule stroked Alicia's head and asked, "Don't worry, Alicia.

 "Don't worry, Alicia. I'll protect you and your clan, unlike those men lying around.
 "Yes, yes.
 "So serve me well. The more you devote yourself to me, the more I will devote myself to you. Unlike some ungrateful, pathetic man.
 "Heh, Your Majesty, .......

 Alicia's cheeks flushed slightly.
 The human mind would try to adapt somehow, and Alicia had already begun to lean towards Hercule.
 Otherwise, it would be unbearable.

 Of course, there was also the fact that she had grown tired of Telerig and Kotormir, and the trauma of being betrayed despite her devotion to Telerig and Kotormir.

 At the very least, Hercule has said that he will protect the Chromes, and Alicia has convinced herself that this is better than Telerig and Kotormir, who didn't even promise to do so. ......

 Poor Terelig, who had to see it.
 If Alicia didn't like it, cried out and asked for help from Telerig, there would still be a way to console her. ......

 It's no wonder that Alicia is shocked when she shows her obvious devotion to Hercule.  

 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. Alicia.
 Yes, I do. ......

 Alicia agreed with Hercule's thoughts.
 A few moments ago, Terelig had been dejected, but now he had regained his energy and was shouting something.

 It sounded muffled, but she could only vaguely understand that it contained words that were abusive to Alicia: whore, whore, traitor, traitor, coward.

 In Alicia's opinion, it was Terelig who had betrayed her first.

 A little while ago, Alicia also felt some guilt, but ......
 As mentioned above, the mind has a tendency to rewrite memories and emotions as a defensive instinct.



 Now, Alicia felt no guilt, despite her resentment towards Telerig and the Kotormir clan.

 Suddenly, Hercule thought of something: ...... 
 He whispered to Alicia.

 Did you get it?
 "Yes, yes, but Terelig is the prince of the Bulgaron, .......
 What, you can't take orders from me? Or do you still have a thing for him?

 When Alicia looked confused, Hercule's mood took a nosedive.
 Alicia turned pale and shook her head.

 "No, no way! I never liked this pathetic coward in the first place. But he is a prisoner of war. Shouldn't he be treated as such?
 "Did you treat the Lemurian prisoners of war properly?

 I'm sure you're not the only one.

 I'm also sorry, .......

 The Bulgurons treated Lemurian prisoners of war like slaves, forcing them to work.
 In addition, the female elves were treated like s*x slaves and child-bearing machines, and the women of the nobility were no exception.

 All of the Bulgurons were complicit in this, not to mention the Kotormir and the Crom, and Alicia, the daughter of the clan leader, was not only irrelevant, she was the one who gave the orders.

 I'm not going to blame you for the past, Alicia. It's the present and the future that matters. Come on, Alicia. ......
 "Yes, Your Majesty.

 Determined, Alicia stood up.
 She stood up and walked briskly over to the bound Telerig.

 Telerig's face twitched with fear as he wondered what she would do to him.
 Looking down at Terelig, Alicia thought that he was still a pathetic man.

 "Ggh, ggh, ggh, ggh, ggh!

 He was gagged, so she could not understand what he was saying.
 Alicia ignored him and pulled down Terelig's pants and underwear, thinking it would be a bad idea.

 And ......

 !!!!!!!!!!

 Terelig's screams echoed through Nova Lemuria.
 On this day, Terelig joined the ranks of Loukanos and Kronos.





 A few weeks later.
 As he prepared his army for another large-scale expedition and reworked his logistics, Hercule was coordinating with the Bulgarons.

 But, hmm, we're not making as much progress as we thought.
 I think he's probably trying to price ...... out the fact that the Chromes are allowed and treated well, so if he sticks around a little longer, he might get better treatment.

 Todoris tells Hercule about his reasoning.
 That was not entirely wrong.

 After all, it would take a lot of effort to completely destroy the Kingdom of the Bulgurons. ......
 In any case, I want to raise the price and then betray them.
 Many of the clans seemed to think so.

 Also, Kotormia is the most powerful clan.
 Since the Chromium clan turned to Lemuria, the power of the Kotormir clan has increased in the Bulgaron Kingdom, for better or worse.
 The clans that originally distrusted the Kotormir clan or were not so close to it belonged to the Lemurian or Neutral faction, and many of the Kotormir clans were too close to the Kotormir clan to be willing or able to betray them so easily.

 By the way, Your Majesty, the Telltale Clan has approached us about joining the war.
 I think they should just go ahead and join the war. ......
 But there are conditions for their participation. ......

 Hercule was stunned by Todoris' words.
 The Territories are asking for more concessions at this time.

 Hercule had already given as many concessions as he could.
 Any further concessions would be detrimental to the interests of the nation and would undermine its prestige.

 If the Telltale clan becomes the second Kotormir clan, there is no point.

 "Don't get carried away, barbarians. You can join the war all you want, but I'm not going to give you any more food. And if you join the Cothrumans... We will stop trade immediately and destroy you. Tell them .......
 Are you sure?
 They're not stupid enough to turn to the Kotormir at this time. The only thing they can do is stay neutral or join the war on Lemuria. They might hint at turning, but it would only be to sway us.

 When Hercule said that, Todoris bowed his head and said, "I understand.
 Todoris would make sure that Hercule's will was conveyed to the Territorial Clan.

 But ...... hmmm, are we being too nice to the Chromes and they're taking advantage of us? I'm in trouble. ...... Well, let's show them that I'm a tough monarch.

 Just throw cold water on the spoiled ones.
 Hercule grinned.

 "Todris, all prisoners are to be returned.
 "Are you sure? It's true that there is no use in keeping them in our country, but ...... it may have the opposite effect. They will get carried away. They are ingrates.

 When Todoris said this, Hercule nodded.

 "If you return the favor normally.
 "...... normally?
 Listen to me carefully.

 When Todoris heard Hercule's idea, he thought from the bottom of his heart.

 When he heard Hercule's idea, Todoris thought from the bottom of his heart that he was glad that this man was the emperor of his country and not an enemy.
