Chapter 1425: Su Cheng, Who Is Prudent and Self-Protective (Part 1)

Turi in the former Rolin Empire.

After Orleans surrendered, Su Cheng led the entire army southward to station in the "former Rolin Empire capital" - Turi.

After completely taking control of the order of Turi and receiving the high-ranking captives headed by Queen Bella from the nobles who knew the big picture, Su Cheng set up his base directly in the city of Turi and handled a series of subsequent military affairs directly in the city of Turi.

Although the central government of the Rolin Empire has surrendered and Turi has fallen into the hands of their Britannia Army, there is no army in the Rolin Empire that is still capable of threatening their Britannia Army.

However, there are still some city lords in the Rolin Empire who are unwilling to accept the fact that the country has surrendered, refuse to recognize the surrender edict of the central government, and intend to lead all the forces they can lead to fight the Britannia Empire to the end.

These cities that are still resisting are waiting for Su Cheng to send troops to deal with them one by one.

At the same time, those cities that were not very sensible and directly put down the flag of the Rolin Empire and raised the flag of the Britannia Empire had to send troops to garrison and take over one by one.

In short, there are still many things to do.

…

…

Swish…

In the huge room, there was only the "swish" sound of the goose feather pen writing on the paper.

Su Cheng wrote the new military order meticulously.

In this room full of serious atmosphere, at this moment——

"Su Cheng~ Long time no see~"

A slightly frivolous female voice sounded in front of Su Cheng.

After this female voice fell, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Then, without even looking up, she said in a calm tone:

"Liya, I haven't seen you for a long time. Then again, why are you always like this, always suddenly disappearing for a while, and then suddenly appearing in front of me."

"Eh..." The female voice revealed an obvious disappointment, "You don't seem surprised to see me."

"Of course not, how many times have you played this trick of suddenly appearing in front of me?"

After saying that, Su Cheng put down the quill pen that had already finished writing, and then looked up at the old friend in front of him whom he had not seen for a long time.

His old friend was still as young as usual, still looking like a 16-year-old girl.

And Su Cheng's face had gradually shown some traces of time.

If it was before, some people might have thought that Su Cheng and his old friend were of the same generation.

But now, people only think that Su Cheng and his old friend are one generation apart.

"Liya. Why did you come to see me this time?"

"If you just want to chat with me, please come back another day."

"I'm still very busy now, and I have a little free time. Let's chat slowly."

"Su Cheng, you are so cold~" Liya stretched out her voice, used an exaggerated tone, and raised her hand to make a crying gesture, "I came all the way to see you, but you are so cold to me."

Looking at Liya's exaggerated performance, Su Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and then said in a half-joking tone:

"If a girl in her prime spoke to me in this tone, I would I may feel guilty. "

"But an old man who is over 1,000 years old talking to me in such a tone can't move my heart. "

"Hey. "Liya changed her exaggerated expression just now and stared at Su Cheng with indifference, "Haven't I said it many times? Don't say I am an old man over 1,000 years old. "

"Okay. "Su Cheng shrugged, "I was just joking. Let's stop joking here. Let's talk about business-you suddenly came to me, is there something?"

"...If you want to talk about something, I do have something to find you. "

After that, Liya sighed lightly.

Then, he asked Su Cheng in a hesitant tone:

"Su Cheng... are you really... planning to kill the 'Saint' of the Rolin Empire,

that Jeanne d'Arc?"

"Why?" Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you know that 'Saint' Jeanne?"

"... A long time ago, I had a brief but quite pleasant relationship with her."

"Is that so... So - are you planning to ask her for mercy?"

Liya: "..."

Liya did not speak.

But her silence was equivalent to tacit consent.

"... Alas."

Su Cheng sighed lightly.

"If possible, I don't want to kill the 'Saint'..."

"After all, the 'Saint' is said to be a very young young man."

"And she hasn't done anything wrong."

"The only thing she did that offended our Britannia Empire was to make our first war of annihilation of the Rolin Empire fail."

"But on the battlefield, each of us serves his own master. She fights for her country, and we fight for our country. Victory, defeat, and death on the battlefield are just common things, so I don't hate her."

"But... she has to die."

"Her current identity is no longer an ordinary Rolin army general."

"Her current identity is already the 'Saint' of the Rolin Empire."

"Whether she is worthy of the name of 'Saint' or not - this question is irrelevant."

"Whether the subjects and soldiers of the Luolin Empire believe that she is the 'Saint' who can save the country is the most important."

"However - it is quite unfortunate."

"These days, according to my investigation - many subjects and soldiers of the Luolin Empire dislike Jeanne as a 'Saint' who can save them from danger."

"They all believe that as long as the 'Saint' is still there, the Luolin Empire can still be saved and there is hope for revival."

"There are quite a few people who believe in the power of the 'Saint'."

"If this group of people unite together, the power they will unleash cannot be underestimated."

"Therefore - the 'Saint' must die."

"I must destroy the spiritual beliefs of that group of people."

"Only by doing this can the threat of those who believe in the power of the 'Saint' be completely eliminated."

"I'm sorry, Jeanne. No matter what, I must kill your old friend."

Su Cheng's tone was very firm.

Leaving no room for maneuver.

"...Really...can't you show mercy?" Leah's tone was cautious.

"...I'm sorry."

"Su Cheng..." Liya raised her hand and scratched her hair, "You make it very difficult for me to do this..."

"Jeanna is my friend... I don't want her to die..."

As soon as Liya finished speaking, Su Cheng took over without hesitation:

"I am the unified knight of the Britannia Empire. I must strive for the greatest benefit for the Britannia Empire."
