The nun with black stockings is actually a boy?

"But I hope you can maintain order in the city and stabilize the public sentiment."

"Once you have completed what you need to do, I will mobilize a fleet of ships for your evacuation."

"I and the barbarians outside the city will be the last to leave Constantinople."

"Everyone, I... need you."

After Helen finished speaking, she lifted up her skirt halfway and saluted all the city defense soldiers.

Most of the city defense forces came from the lower city, and they were shocked for a moment when they saw Helen's gift.

When will people like them be asked for help?

After a period of silence, sporadic sounds of hammering on the chest could be heard.

Boom!Boom!

Philip heard a voice from the side and turned his head to look.

Philip looked over as he saw his friend beating his chest with tears in his eyes.

"Hey, Philip, it turns out someone still counts on us!" His friend rubbed his eyes with his free hand, "and even prepared a way out for us."

Philip was silent for a moment, then he also raised his right hand and beat his chest.

Boom!Boom!

Arthur, standing on the stage, watched the entire city defense army gradually become like this, and immediately nodded with satisfaction.

The city defense forces now have guards to supplement them, so there is no problem in cooperating as a backup.

Wow!

Arthur took a step forward, then turned and knelt before Helen. "Everyone in the city defense forces pledges their loyalty to Regent Helen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur knelt on one knee.

slam-la-

All the city defense forces at the shooting range knelt on one knee in front of Helen.

"Long live Saint Helen, the Supreme Regent of Rome!"

Chapter 129: Rome will return like lightning! [4k]

"She's like Queen Zoe reborn!"

On an abandoned tower somewhere on the city wall, Merlin put down the telescope and fell into some memories.

At that time, everyone was very young, but unfortunately times are changing and everything has passed like the wind.

"Order in Rome has been stabilized for now." Merlin picked up the telescope again and observed that the city defense troops on the shooting range were divided into teams and left the camp to intervene in the order of the streets, while more troops were heading to the city walls and ports to deal with the source of the chaos.

"It seems that there is no problem for our Scourge Watch organization to provide assistance to Helen." Merlin touched his chin and took out a jet device and a sticky ball from his arms.

These two items are the magic props Helen requested to be made. As for why she did this...

"Ah? If I were to really help these barbarians, I'd be reluctant."

Merlin scratched his head. He really couldn't understand what the point of handing these things over to the barbarians was.

It's impossible that those barbarians would try to produce it right away after getting it, right?

But even if there are [Imitators] and [Craftsmen] among the barbarians who can imitate and make the equipment, will producing so many of them make any difference on the battlefield?

"Oh, never mind, let's send it out first!" Merlin scratched the back of his head. He didn't want to go to the battlefield and fight against the goblin artillery fire with the barbarians.

He also wants to go back to Paris to enjoy some fine wine.

……

"Ahaha, the stuff has arrived."

Dule came to his best friend Claire carrying a bag of jet devices and a sticky ball.

Claire is also one of her and Anna's roommates. Her keywords are glasses and mathematics. She often helps classmates repair computers or holographic helmets. She is a typical science girl with glasses.

Originally, this kind of person has no connection with games, but since she Dule said that the game "Guns and Magic" is very realistic and there are no bugs at all, this made Claire dissatisfied. The other party said that any game has a mathematical model.

So at her instigation, Claire also joined the game. Because she was good at math, she directly joined the strategy group and obtained the [Craftsman] seed, becoming the logistics manager of the strategy group.

"The things are here?" Claire raised her glasses and put down the quill and ruler in her hands with a serious face.

Even when she is in the game, Claire wears glasses.

Du Le nodded, then walked up to Claire with the bag in hand. "President Chunjun, you only asked those Scourge Watch NPCs for these little things?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Judging from the NPCs we've contacted, this is the only help they can provide." Claire reached out to take the bag. "Actually, it's just personal help from that NPC named Helen."

Du Le touched his chin and asked, "What did you want?"

"That NPC named Merlin provided some lists, and Chunjun and I chose two items from them." Claire opened the bag. "Of course, I was the one who mainly chose. Chunjun didn't understand anything at all."

The corners of Dule's mouth twitched slightly.

As a team leader, she felt it was better not to get involved in the tech giant's complaints about the guild leader.

"Slime ball? The material is indeed the heart of a jelly monster. This can be purchased in the city or collected in the wild." Claire weighed the slime ball in her hand. "If that doesn't work, you can ask a water-attributed mage or druid player to use [glue] as a substitute."

"What's the point of choosing this? Will it help our front line?" Du Le asked.

"Yes, didn't you say that the explosives were always bounced off by the enemy tanks?" Claire put the sticky ball aside and took out a bottle-shaped mechanical device from the bag.

Dule shrugged. "Yes, the tanks would bounce off us, but the bigger problem was that we were targeted by the goblins' concentrated fire halfway through."

"This thing is to help you solve the problem." Claire patted the jet device: "This thing can give you a speed boost in a short period of time."

"Although I don't guarantee that you will successfully destroy the enemy vehicle, I can guarantee that you will die very close to the tank."

Du Le's eyes widened. "That means it can increase our chances of getting points."

Claire: ...

This dog who only cares about points is disgusting.

"Yes, but this thing..." Claire turned around and disassembled the outer shell of the jet device, looking at the densely packed parts inside.

"What? Is it difficult to mass-produce?" Du Le came closer to Claire.

"Mass production is no problem. The problem is... this thing's equipment runs very reasonably. I never thought a game could simulate it so realistically. No, it's both realistic and reasonable."

Claire frowned.

Her father is a mechanical expert, and through his influence, she can more or less understand mechanical and electronic equipment.

Therefore, the moment she saw this thing, many doubts arose in her heart.

Why is a game so reasonable? And she may not even understand some of it.

"Give us a day to do this. Our logistics team will work together with the logistics teams of other guilds. We expect to have 100 trial products." Claire turned and said to Dule.

Du Le made an OK gesture.

"But remember to report to Chun-jun. I need to take a screenshot of this jet device." Claire took out the communication crystal.

Du Le blinked and said, "That's no problem. Just a word."

How is it the same as Anna? Isn't it just a game?

……

Golden Horn.

Several warships ignored the people who had not yet boarded the ship and forced their way out of the port and set sail, completely ignoring the crowd shouting and cursing in the port.

"Drive out of the Golden Horn at full speed and don't slow down." Nero came to the captain's room and shouted.

The captain named Gabrielo frowned. If the Doge of Venice had not asked him to invite a Roman emperor back, he would not have wanted to waste time talking to this Roman emperor named Nero.

"Your Majesty, due to the lack of some basic sailors, this is already our fastest speed." Captain Gabrielo turned around and replied.

Constantinople's navy was actually disbanded and later taken over by the Venetians. The Roman navy was basically composed of Venetian officers and grassroots Eastern Roman sailors.

Originally, the Roman navy was always controlled by the Venetians.

Later, in order to gain control, Constantine XI sent his daughter Eudocia over, which resulted in the addition of some pro-Roman factions within the organization. The members were mainly Eastern Roman sailors. However, with the crisis of Rome's demise now looming, some pro-Roman factions still followed them.

There were a total of 26 Roman warships, 20 of which followed Nero, and the remaining 6 were either truly loyal to Rome or had not had time to set sail from the port.

"Tsk!" Nero turned to look at his confidant beside him: "What's the situation in the rear?"

"Your Majesty, the goblin fleet did not pursue us, they stopped!" The confidant looked happy.

Nero patted his chest upon hearing this and said, "That's good... That's good... It seems their target is still Constantinople, or they don't know I'm on the ship."

"Your Majesty, the magical chain of the Golden Horn..."

"Tell the Genoese to let me pass. If they don't, I'll force my way out!"

"Since it is your majesty's order, we will definitely be able to break out of the Golden Horn and reach the Sea of Marmara safely." Seeing that Nero took the blame, Captain Gabrielo stopped talking and simply ordered the fleet to form a column and rush to the exit of the Golden Horn with all their strength.

……

Spring Valley (land north of the Golden Horn), goblin camp.

"Well, it seems that the Venetians can't sit still anymore and have started to flee. This is a good thing." Hog Ray nodded with satisfaction.

The goblins' navy was established late, and most of their ships consisted of small boats, some of which were even sailing ships. Therefore, they could only rely on their numerical advantage to suppress the area near the exit of the Golden Horn.

If any human ship entering or leaving the Golden Horn is weak, the goblin fleet will take the initiative to attack; if there is an ironclad ship leading the way, they will only carry out artillery attacks from a distance to weaken Rome's supplies.

Now that the Venetian fleet has left, the strength of the Roman navy has been greatly reduced, forcing the Romans to allocate more troops to deal with the threat of the northern sea wall.

In addition, the tactic of sailing on dry land has successfully made up for the tactical disadvantage. It not only deprived the Roman navy of the protection of the magic chains, but also reduced the offensive pressure from the west.

This method was not invented by him. Alexios I used this method to recapture Nicaea, and he just copied it.

And his method was even bolder. He ordered the extraordinary people to lay a wooden track, coated with grease, and then tow some of the light ships in his fleet from the Bosphorus into the Golden Horn via land.

The people in Galata were already struggling to guard the magic chains, and were completely unable to send troops to interfere with the land navigation.

Countless goblin machines and a large number of transcendents pulled in front, while human servants pushed these warships from behind, allowing many light warships to "sail" on land. In this way, the goblin navy, which originally had no fleet deployed in the Golden Horn, suddenly made its ships appear where the Romans least expected them.

"Let the boys give the Romans our new gift." Hogg Leixin put down the telescope in his hand.

The goblin official said yes and immediately turned the flag in his hand.

The goblin liaison at the foot of the mountain immediately opened the magic crystal and contacted the fleet that had arrived at the Golden Horn Bay by boat from dry land.

Soon, a loud chorus broke out from the goblin fleet.

"Sail up, sail down!"

"The warship that walks on dry land will pass through the mountains."

"In your hands, in your words, in your heart, in your mind."

"You are of the age when the conquerors conquered Constantinople."

"These legends were written by Hogg Thunderheart and Suleiman."

"That temple and minaret were built by Sinanuddin Pasha."

"Go forward and awaken your sleeping legend."

"In your hands, in your words, in your heart, in your mind."

"You are of the age when the conquerors conquered Constantinople."

"My boys, when you receive the call of your ancestors."

"You will march forth, and the whole nation of goblins will follow you."
