After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 154

154~ Demonstration~

Sure enough, after marching for a while, someone came to report that the Raider Empire's army was blocking their path ahead.

"Princess, should we engage directly?"

"No, pass on my order: do not fire unless the other side attacks first."

"Understood."

The messenger was somewhat puzzled. Since when had Her Highness become so conservative? They could clearly just steamroll right through, so why bother trying to negotiate?

"Let's go negotiate again and try to pass through the Raider Empire without engaging in combat."

"What if they're unreasonable?"

"Then we'll crush them all!"

She didn't consider herself a soft-hearted person. When facing external threats and having the capability to deal with them, she would naturally choose to directly crush the problem.

This was her usual method when facing external threats after negotiations proved useless.

"Understood, subordinate comprehends."

When meeting the Raider Empire's soldiers again, the little Princess appeared exceptionally indifferent, firstly to test the attitude of the Raider Empire soldiers, and secondly because she truly detested people who had no sense of propriety whatsoever.

Knowing full well that their group's only purpose was to pass through the Raider Empire, yet they still made things so difficult...

"Hey! Which of you is the leader!? Get out here!!!"

"I am the supreme commander of this army. May I ask what business your esteemed country's soldiers have?"

The little Princess sat in the carriage with her legs crossed as she asked.

Too arrogant! This was truly too arrogant!

He really didn't know what kind of confidence this little brat had to dare speak to him with this attitude while being flanked from both sides!

This was clearly a small army that he could quickly eliminate with one command, so why did they dare speak to him like this!?

He adjusted his tone:

"You are suspected of illegal border crossing and attacking Raider Empire soldiers. According to Raider Empire law, you need to be sent to the Raider Empire court for trial. If you obediently lay down your weapons and come with us now, perhaps your punishment can be reduced."

The little Princess felt that after this soldier's gaze swept over her from top to bottom, it became lecherous.

Was this some kind of perverted pedophile...

The little Princess felt speechless. How could she encounter such a pervert on a single outing? Although she was indeed an adult, her body looked no different from someone twelve or thirteen years old!

At most she looked around fourteen, and her height wasn't even five feet. That such a physique could arouse such vile desires, she really didn't know what to say.

As his gaze gradually became more invasive, the little Princess already had an impulse to kill.

"Have you looked enough?"

"Oh oh, my apologies, Your Excellency's graceful figure was simply too captivating, I got entranced for a moment."

"Eww..."

Someone's voice emerged from within the army.

The lead general also couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Our Princess is still so young and you beast actually have such thoughts?

If not for Her Highness's orders, she would definitely command the soldiers behind her to immediately point their guns at these bastards and pull the triggers!

"Lady Mo..."

"I know."

The little Princess gently stroked the little loli maid Xiyan's head to comfort her.

"Alright, all of you obediently disarm and surrender, go wait for judgment in court!"

In response, the little Princess simply waved her arm, and the soldiers behind her uniformly raised their guns to aim at the Raider Empire soldiers.

"You still want to resist? Do you know whose territory this is? Do you know how many people we have?"

Before coming out this time, he had heard it was a small army, so he brought a full ten thousand people to surround them. With such a numerical advantage, the situation should be completely one-sided no matter how you looked at it. How did this group still dare to take up weapons to resist?

Did they think they could win with these fire sticks? Truly delusional!

"I'm saying, surrender immediately right now, and I can still..."

"Bang..."

After someone fired the first shot, the soldiers behind them successively fired the pellets loaded in their guns.

In an instant, countless Raider Empire soldiers died or were injured. After several volleys, the Raider Empire soldiers still standing began to retreat.

"That's enough, cease fire."

The little Princess waved at those behind her.

"Her Highness commands, cease fire immediately!"

These guns were good in every way, except that when fired in large numbers simultaneously, they produced a tremendous noise that nearly deafened her ears.

"Princess, why let them escape?"

The General didn't understand the little Princess's intention.

"Of course to let these remaining people relay information, so the rest of the Raider Empire won't provoke us again."

Her meaning was basically to demonstrate to the Raider Empire.

To be honest, she was also gambling just now. Although her army could fire over a thousand bullets in one minute under volley fire, if the enemy employed human shield tactics, they could still win at great cost.

She was gambling that the Raider Empire soldiers would be frightened in the first moment and wouldn't think of using human shield tactics to advance.

Clearly, she gambled correctly. The Raider Empire soldiers retreated in panic one minute after the volley fire.

"Continue forward, same as before, leave the Raider Empire as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

"Are you alright, Princess?"

"Lady Mo..."

Xiao Xi and Xiyan both supported the little Princess as they inquired.

"I'm fine, just a bit dizzy from the noise."

"That's good. Let me help the Princess onto the carriage to rest."

"Mm."

The little Princess nodded.

What gratified her was that Xiao Xi and Xiyan had been well-behaved ever since coming out, no longer quarreling over the slightest little thing. She found this quite satisfactory.

There was also the army. Their performance in actual combat was already very satisfying to her, having completely met her standards.

"Alright, from now on if Raider Empire troops approach, just shoot them directly."

After all, what this army lacked least was ammunition. With several Mages accompanying them, mass production was possible.

After all, pellets weren't the same as bullets and didn't require any technique. With Mages present, they could easily be mass-produced.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, would you like to lie on my lap and take an afternoon nap?"

Since it was still quite early before mealtime, and considering the little Princess's physical condition required ample sleep, the little loli maid Xiyan inquired.

"You don't need to. Princess only needs to rest on my lap."

"Hey hey! Do you know what first come first served means? I was the one who suggested it to Lady Mo first!"

Xiyan loudly protested in dissatisfaction.

"My apologies. As someone who has been with Her Highness since childhood, I understand Her Highness better. Now that Her Highness is tired, naturally it's better for me to care for Her Highness."

The little Princess caught in the middle appeared quite helpless. She couldn't lean toward either side...

As expected, the two started quarreling again over some small issue. Perhaps she shouldn't have held any great hopes about this.
