The nun with black stockings is actually a boy?

Helen’s first time can only be mine!

Natalie thought to herself.

……

When Helen finished chatting with Father Modes, it was already afternoon, so Helen and Natalie said goodbye to Father Modes.

"Helen, aren't we going to see the monastery?" Natalie asked in a low voice.

Helen smiled calmly and reached out to touch Natalie's head: "Okay, let's go take a look now."

The two of them walked together and came to the monastery where they were staying.

This place has always been their small base, accommodating them when they had nowhere else to go.

"Helen, will we come back?" Natalie looked at everything in the monastery. She had already cleaned it up and taken away everything that needed to be taken away.

Everything was just as it was when they first moved in.

"Yes~" Helen looked at the monastery: "Then I will take back everything we have."

Natalie turned her head and looked at Helen: "Okay, I believe you."

Helen smiled when she heard that, put her hands behind her back, and turned to look at Natalie: "Do you believe me now?"

"Of course, because you're Helen." Natalie put her hands on her hips. "If you can help me, then Rome will succeed with your help."

"Helen, you are not allowed to fail, and you are not allowed to be unhappy!"

"You will definitely win."

As Natalie spoke her heartfelt words one by one, Helen went from being shocked to being confused, and finally she even laughed.

Natalie crossed her arms in dissatisfaction. "What are you laughing at, Helen? Are my words ridiculous?"

Helen waved her hand and looked out the window: "It's not funny... because it gave me confidence."

Natalie curiously followed Helen's gaze and looked out the window.

"Natalie, let's go back to the palace." Helen closed her eyes slightly. "The goblins' first round of exploratory bombardment is about to begin."

Chapter 138: Military Queen Helen & Urban Cannon [4K]

After returning to the palace, Helen received a private invitation from Osius.

So Helen asked Natalie to go to the government hall to help Irina, and at the same time prevent Ivilia from approving documents again.

"I promise to complete the task!" Natalie put her hands on her hips.

Helen smiled calmly, then stepped forward and whispered in Natalie's ear: "Come on, my Viscount Natalie~"

Natalie blushed.

"I'll leave that to you." Helen quickly left her position and ran towards the Prime Minister's lounge, leaving Natalie standing there in a mess.

Just after the war, Helen, we will all leave Constantinople safely.

Let’s go see the sea of Egypt together!

Natalie took several deep breaths, then turned and ran towards the government hall.

……

On the other side, Helen came to the lounge on Osius' side and found that the old prime minister was standing in front of a clothes hanger with a set of military uniform hanging on the hanger. It was a typical military uniform.

The overall color of the military uniform is purple and white. The purple and white color combination is like the blending of gorgeous crystal and pure snow.

The purple and white military jacket is tailored to fit perfectly, and the slim design highlights the slender yet powerful waist.

The neckline is delicately trimmed with white lace, which gently covers the neckline like delicate snowflakes, forming a sharp contrast with the deep purple fabric, adding a touch of elegance. The cuffs are tied into small bows with purple satin ribbons.

The military pants were also purple and white, their straight legs fitting her slender legs perfectly. The seams were meticulously embroidered with white silk thread, resembling a winding stream weaving through a purple field. The white part was as pure as snow, exuding a holy aura.

Under the hanger was a pair of white boots with polished uppers and small amethyst-inlaid decorations on the boot shafts, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

Finally, above the clothes hanger, there is an elegant purple and white military cap. The overall color is mainly white, and the style is a bit like a wide-brimmed hat.

The hat body has exquisite patterns embroidered with golden silk threads, like the totem of the ancient royal family, and the hat badge is a crystal clear purple gem, reflecting charming brilliance under the light.

Without a doubt, an extremely gorgeous military uniform.

"What is this?" Helen moved to Osius and asked.

"uniform."

"I know, but this uniform style..."

"The design is based on the military uniforms left over from the previous era." Osius turned and looked at Helen: "Of course, it is more inclined towards traditional military uniforms."

Helen crossed her arms, "Oh, so you want to put it on?"

"I'm so fat, how can I wear this?" Osius shrugged. "This dress was given to Zoe by the late emperor. Zoe wasn't even the queen at that time."

Helen had a bad feeling in her heart, "So put it here..."

"Eudocia sent it to you to wear. She's currently organizing the last of the Roman navy." Osius looked at Helen eagerly. "I'm unable to manage so many things right now... ahem, I can only leave it to you now."

"Um...this..."

"Don't worry, Zoe didn't wear it that year. She didn't like it very much."

"Um, I don't care about that, it's just...Isn't what I'm wearing suitable?" Helen broke out in a cold sweat.

"Some of the lower-level officers in the city defense army don't trust you, and this suit can help you." Osius adjusted the military uniform on the hanger. "It's not me that the empire needs, it's you."

Helen was silent for a moment, then turned her back to Osius and asked, "Can you help me with my hair?"

Osius smiled calmly, turned his head and shouted to a small room next to him: "Eudocia, come out."

Eudocia, wearing a purple royal dress, walked out of the small room with a smile.

Helen rolled her eyes upon seeing this: "I knew someone was up to no good!"

Eudocia stuck out her tongue.

"Eudocia, please help Helen put on her clothes." Osius, whose face had always been pale, now turned rosy.

Eudocia crossed her arms and said, "Vice Chancellor, these are your loyal words. My Queen, Regent of the Empire, what do you think?"

"I'm just the Queen of Rome!" Helen retorted indifferently, crossing her arms across her chest.

Osius, who was listening, turned around with a smile.

"Okay, don't be angry. I'll apologize to you later." Eudocia shrugged. "Today is the sixth day of the agreement. The enemy should be attacking soon. After I finish this, I'm going back to the Navy Department."

Helen pursed her lips and looked up at the imperial concubine's military uniform.

At least it’s men’s clothing, and at least I can finally wear men’s clothing again.

This is a small step, but also a big step for the future!

"Let me make it clear in advance that you only need to do my hair!" Helen raised her index finger and ordered Eudocia arrogantly.

The corner of Eudocia's mouth twitched slightly: "You little devil..."

"Hmm? Come, Your Majesty Eudocia, change my clothes!" Helen raised her snow-white neck and turned around triumphantly.

Eudocia clenched her fists slightly.

Okay, I'll tolerate you for a while, and then you'll be in trouble in bed.

……

Philip led his team to maintain order in the upper town. They would be able to leave safely in a few days, so his team worked extra hard.

Just as they were dealing with a theft in the city, a deafening sound suddenly exploded in their ears.

Boom——

As a cannonball landed on the magic barrier of Constantinople, the busy people stopped and looked in horror at the sound of cannons coming from the lower city.

"The goblins have begun to attack the city?"

No one knew who said this, but it caused panic among the people of Constantinople. Those queuing to board the ship anxiously urged those in front of them to hurry up, while those who stayed at home either hid in their cellars or packed their luggage faster.

The century-old imperial capital once again faced the situation of foreign invasion, and this time it was the Roman citizens who had enjoyed peace for a long time who faced the conflict. They fled to the port in panic or hurried home.

Obviously, the shadow of war has fallen on everyone's heart.

clatter! clatter!

Just as panic spread again and Philip was shouting at the top of his lungs to maintain order, the sound of horse hooves rang out, attracting the attention of pedestrians on the street.

Teams of guards in black and white armor rode their steel steam warhorses towards the city walls of the lower city, which gave the originally uneasy people some peace of mind.

It wasn't until they saw a graceful figure in a purple and white military uniform among the Royal Guards that the last lurking worry in their hearts disappeared.

As long as Helen is still there, the promise is there and they have hope of living.

After all, as long as Helen didn't leave, they were not the last ones to leave.

"The command center is built on top of the city wall of the upper city." At this moment, Helen, wearing a military uniform and a Roman military cap, with a pure face, can be said to be heroic.

The handsome and heroic military uniform made the petite Helen look less beautiful and gentle, and her heroic spirit attracted people's attention.

Some people within the Royal Guards were quite dissatisfied with obeying Helen, a commoner queen, but when they saw Helen personally leading the troops out of the palace instead of avoiding the battle, they sincerely admired her in their hearts.

Eudocia really made the right choice in marrying him.

One is in charge of the navy and the other is in charge of the army. They are a model of husband and wife cooperation!

"Great Regent, it is inappropriate to build the headquarters on the wall of the upper city, that is, on the inner city wall."

Rose veteran Judith knelt on one knee and gave Helen some advice.

"Your Majesty, it is built on the city wall and is an easy target for enemy artillery fire. It is too conspicuous." The Black Rose veteran Badis also knelt on one knee in front of Helen.

Except for a part of the Royal Guards who followed the Fourth Prince Nero to retreat, the rest of the Black and White Guards obeyed Helen's command.

The mobilization of the Guards was approved by the cabinet (actually the cabinet was Eudocia, Irene, Helen, and Osius). Each of them was a level 2 transcendent, and with the weapons and armor that the Roman Empire had painstakingly crafted, they would be able to fight against some level 3 transcendents.

So Helen brought this group of people out to act as a reserve force and to serve as a line of defense to save the players.

After all, these were the last batch of elite troops capable of field combat in the Eastern Roman Empire. As for the city defense forces...

Just help him watch his back to prevent some malicious nobles from stabbing him in the back.

"Conspicuous? Very good, I want to be conspicuous." Helen snapped her fingers.

Arthur immediately pulled over a map of the city's defenses.

"The Theodosian Walls in the upper city overlook the northern sea wall and harbor, while also providing access to the main battlefield wall to the west." Helen pointed to the map and said, "I only have a limited understanding of military matters, but I understand your concerns. I chose this location precisely because it's visible to everyone."

"To stabilize the people in the city?" Arthur asked.

Helen nodded slightly.

His choice was actually very bad from a military perspective. In addition to being a conspicuous target, there was also the risk of being buried if the city wall collapsed.

The few advantages it has, besides the high visibility, is that it allows everyone in the city to see and know Helen's location.

"Regent, your sacrifice is too great." Arthur, known as a ceremonial knight, lowered his head, feeling ashamed of himself.

Helen: ...

I always feel that you have misunderstood something. I am just trying to show off in front of the players so that I can continue to enslave them in the future.

Believe it or not, I can just run away by taking advantage of my illness?

Of course, being a bitch, Helen wouldn't say it out loud. Instead, she said with a righteous air, "This is what I should do. I have such power, so I must fulfill the corresponding responsibilities."

Arthur stood up in admiration and said, "Regent, I will protect you every step of the way, until someone steps over my dead body."

Okay, then I feel relieved. When the time comes for me to run away, you can help me delay for a while.

Helen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, thank you, Sir Arthur."

On the other side, the two veteran generals looked at each other and realized that they could not persuade them anymore, so they ordered the surrounding guards to climb onto the city wall.

Soon, a Roman military flag with a white rose pattern was erected on the Theodosian Wall, and white tents guarded the flag.
