The nun with black stockings is actually a boy?

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

The goblins on the warship sang in unison, but instead of driving the warship close to the port of the Golden Horn, they stopped it on the sea in a playful manner.

The goblins' singing reached the ears of the Romans on the other side of the river, causing great panic among the Roman people.

Some desperate people even jumped into the river, trying to catch up with the warships that had already set sail.

"Haha, the Romans are nothing special. The only one I admire, Osius Komnenos, will soon be dead."

Hog Leixin shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the situation seems to have changed!" Wochika, who was also observing through a telescope next to him, put down the telescope.

Hogg Lei was startled and immediately picked up the magic telescope to observe the port on the other side of the sea.

Helen, wearing a flower fairy skirt, came to the port surrounded by the city defense army. She directed the troops to maintain order and ordered the sailors to rescue the people who fell into the sea.

Soon, the chaos in the port subsided and order began to be restored.

Helen even walked to a high platform with the support of the people and the city defense forces.

"Great Roman people, although the suffering before us does exist, our magnificent history tells us that all suffering will pass."

"Yes, we were defeated by the Carthaginians, the Gauls, and the Germanic barbarians."

"I have also been toyed with by demons, devils, and demons."

"Even the fields and cities were burned by the dragons."

"But we Romans still stand!"

"why?"

"Because we are lightning, no one can defeat us!" Helen said, raising the pure white staff in her hand. "In the name of Rome, I will ensure the safety of everyone."

"And I, Helen, swear in the name of the Regent of Rome, Empress of the Empire, and Holy Virgin of the Orthodox Church that I will be the last to leave, and I will not stop until every last one of you leaves."

"My proud subjects!"

"I want you to get back to work so I can keep everyone safe."

After Helen's passionate speech, everyone fell silent, looking at each other in confusion and anxiety, but there was a hint of hope in their desperate eyes.

This hope is as rare as diamonds.

Seeing this, Helen knew that the situation was settled and turned to look at Arthur.

Arthur nodded, and immediately stood up with the golden holy sword in his hand, standing on the stage.

"In the lower city, food stalls will be set up on all odd-numbered streets, providing rice porridge and bread."

"In the upper town area, ferry tickets are available, and all quotas are set up openly and transparently."

With just two sentences, the people's anxiety temporarily disappeared and they began to shout Helen's name in unison.

"Saint Helen, our Theodora!"

"Long live the Regent!"

"Rome will return like lightning!"

……

The cheers of the people were getting louder and louder, which made Osius, who was watching from a distance, burst into tears and nodded with satisfaction.

Helen finally cleaned up the trouble caused by the bastard Nero, and it didn't turn out to be a big disaster.

Swah——

Suddenly, an arrow with a sound stone on it flew across the Golden Horn and arrived at the port.

The first one to react was the swordsman Arthur. He jumped onto the platform and was about to destroy the arrow, but was stopped by Helen.

chap!

While Arthur was stunned and surprised, Helen grabbed the flying arrow and instantly refined the kinetic energy of the arrow.

When Helen's heroic action was seen by the people, it caused huge cheers.

The saint gave them hope through her actions and force, not to mention the scene where she personally thwarted the enemy's sneak attack.

But the people's joy did not last long, as the sound stone on the arrow made a sound.

It was the Goblin Emperor Hogg Thunderheart

"I, Hogg Thunderheart, wish to meet with Saint Helen, the Roman Regent, to discuss the affairs of our two countries."

As the sound stone lost its magic, the cheers from the audience gradually faded away.

"It seems that we have to meet the other side." Helen broke the arrow, her eyes revealing a hint of disgust and disgust.

It was another hassle. I finally managed to pose for a while.

Chapter 130: In times of crisis, only the Saint steps forward [4K]

Point D, a basement somewhere.

Chunjun handed a bag of gold coins to Merlin solemnly.

Merlin was filled with questions.

"I hope our troops can enter the city safely." Chunjun said seriously.

Merlin scratched his cheek. "Um, I mean, why are you giving us money?"

"Let us enter the city!" Chunjun replied as a matter of course, "Could it be that you don't have any way to enter the city?"

"Um... yes, there is, but why do I have to pay for it?"

"Isn't that what you Scourge Watchers said? We need to make some arrangements before entering the city."

"Um, yes, yes." Merlin said, and took the money with some uneasiness.

Helen, the saint, is so vicious that she demands money at such a time, and these barbarians really give her money!

No wonder Helen asked me to bring a bag during the discussion that day. It seemed like she wanted me to collect the money!

"Okay, I'll go back and tell our boss. The city gates are expected to be opened tomorrow." Merlin said, and quickly stood up and left the trench.

As soon as Merlin left, Levi came out from the path next to him.

"Is this NPC an administrator or a highly intelligent NPC?" Levi touched his chin.

Chunjun shrugged, "Rather than discussing the NPCs in the game, I think successfully gaining access to the city is the most important thing."

"By the way, what are you going into the city for?" Levi asked, pulling out a chair.

"Point D outside the city is our last stronghold. If we lose it, where can we run?" Chunjun showed the Beacon of Hope in his hand. "Or, where should I put this thing so that it won't be discovered and destroyed by the goblins?"

Levi was stunned and lowered his head in thought.

He was indeed better than Chunjun in terms of tactics between players, but when it came to strategy and general direction, he was still too untrained to think enough.

"Indeed, if Point D is lost, we will have nowhere to retreat." Levi touched his chin, "There is also the risk of the Hope Beacon being destroyed... Our strategic depth is too poor."

Chunjun nodded slightly.

"I understand you. You're willing to spend so much money to get us into the city just to have a way out." Levi crossed his arms.

"That's right, and the game has released an announcement. If Constantinople falls, our players' spawn points will be in the Holy Roman Empire, the Principality of Wallachia, and the Hunjak Empire." Chunjun stared at Levi meaningfully.

Levi touched his chin: "If that's the case...wait, what do you mean?"

Thinking of something, Levi looked at Chunjun in surprise.

"That's right. Once half of the city falls, we won't be able to revive in Constantinople." Chunjun raised his head slightly: "Do you know how serious this is?"

Levi broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Victor jumped in from the hole above his head, "That means if half of the city falls, we will die..."

"I can't come back here to get points." Levi closed his eyes resignedly.

Victor slumped on the ground. "Watching others earn points while I can only watch others surpass me... I don't want that kind of thing!"

Chunjun nodded slightly, "So we have to make a big move on the day the city is captured."

……

port.

Too many things happened here, Nero's escape, Helen's stabilization of the situation, and Hogg Thunderheart's invitation to a meeting concerning the fate of the two countries. All these events happened so quickly that the Roman high-level officials had no time to return to the palace to discuss slowly.

Therefore, after urgently evacuating an area, Helen and others held a discussion in a tent temporarily built by the Guards.

Representatives from all parties gathered here to discuss preparations for the next talks.

"I don't agree with Helen going to the river to negotiate with the Goblin Emperor."

Natalie in the tent stood behind Helen's seat and shouted.

The goblins suggested that each side send a ship to discuss the next situation in Constantinople on the ship.

But now the Golden Horn has been half occupied, and most of our warships have followed Nero, while the enemy is sailing on dry land. As the situation changes, it is hard to say whether we still have control of the sea in the Golden Horn.

So Natalie was determined not to let Helen go out. She had nothing to lose and Helen was the only person she cared about.

Eudocia and Irina, who were sitting on the main seats, looked at each other.

In fact, none of them wanted Helen to leave, but Helen and Osius insisted, which made the discussion long.

"I have to go. If I don't talk, it will be detrimental to the next action. It would be great if I can gain some advantages through negotiation." Helen was still wearing the flower fairy dress, but there was a purple crown on her head that symbolized the royal family.

The jewels on the queen's crown were sold by some Komnenos emperor, so the crown on Helen's head was just inlaid with a cheap magic crystal.

"What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table either." Eudocia couldn't bear to see Helen take such a risk, so she stood up and ordered, "Helen, don't go. This is a trap."

"It might be a trap, but there's a way out." Helen turned to look at Ivilia, who was sitting at the back. "What do you think?"

After all, Ivilia is from the side branch of the royal family. Coupled with her iron fist in the past few days, she has gathered a group of loyal minor nobles around her.

"I...my judgment is consistent with Her Majesty Eudocia." She didn't want to let Helen take risks, nor did she want to refute Helen openly, so she used Eudocia as a shield.

Eudocia glanced meaningfully at her cousin.

She instinctively smelled the scent of her own kind, but given the seriousness of the situation, she did not think about it carefully and continued to persuade Helen.

Just as the quarrel was going on in the tent, an unexpected person walked into the tent and made all the Roman high-ranking officials in the tent quiet down.

"Am I not late?" Joan of Arc lifted her hood and revealed her true face.

"The Saint of the Franks?" Osius, who was sitting on the main seat on the right, narrowed his eyes. His vision had begun to blur and his illness had worsened.

"I asked her to come. Our negotiations need someone to witness and mediate, and Saint Joan of Arc, who has served as the arbitrator several times, is the most suitable person." Helen explained.

At this time, Arthur walked in from outside the tent and knelt on one knee: "The goblins have agreed that Saint Joan of Arc will serve as the middleman and arbitrator in the negotiations between the two parties."

Those who had previously opposed Helen's going kept silent. With Joan of Arc's powerful fighting ability, there would be no problem in ensuring Helen's safety.

"Um..." Arthur, who was kneeling on the ground, turned his head to look at Helen halfway through his words.

Helen's lips curled up slightly when she saw this. "Mr. Merlin met with you?"

Arthur nodded slightly.

"I understand." Helen nodded with satisfaction. "We'll have something to discuss next."

"What are your plans?" Eudocia pressed.

Helen took a deep breath and immediately announced to everyone:

"During my negotiations, the materials at the port were unloaded as quickly as possible. After discussing the evacuation of the people and the various national ships, we allowed them to fly the flags of other countries, and the same was true for our own ships."

"Although the royal ports in the east are narrow and few, we should not be stingy and open them all to the countries and people who come to aid us."

"Your Majesty Eudocia requests that you proceed to the Jackdaw and stabilize the remaining Roman navy."

"Her Majesty Irina, please return to the palace to preside over state affairs and work with the Prime Minister to coordinate the allocation of supplies."

"Avilia, I appoint you as the captain of the security team. Maintain order in the city and be vigilant against defections."

"Royal Guard Arthur and Viscount Natalie, accompany me for the negotiations."

As Helen finished her last sentence, everyone in the tent looked at each other in confusion.
