The war sea beasts were also turned into cannon fodder to assist the empire in attacking the naga's central army.
The bio-fish swarms are all fast-breeding species with limited lifespans, and so are the brain-eating fish. They have the ability to disrupt the target organism's central nervous system and temporarily take over its output.
During this time, the war sea beasts won't die, but once the brain-eating fish die, they will lose their brains and gradually die off as well...
The naga who launched the final suicidal charge against Shaq's unit didn't gain any advantage either.
Because Shaq promptly issued orders telling them to withstand the enemy's last stand, he would naturally take care of the reinforcements from the rear.
Although he was a fresh commander on the battlefield, the orders coming from the crown prince's whale car were impeccable, and no one could find fault with Margaret's command.
Moreover, the enemy's central camp was indeed close at hand, and the basic trust between the fish still existed, so under his encouragement, the line actually held!
Even with his trump card played, Cromwell didn't gain any advantage. Instead, he panicked when his own central camp was about to be breached.
Roger's massively bred bio-fish swarms were also exposed.
Freezing fish, when they explode, rapidly decrease the temperature in an area, creating solid ice blocks hundreds of times their size in the sea.
Overnight, the base coral, nourished by the rich organic matter from the ocean waves, expanded to produce no less than a million freezing fish.
These freezing fish exploded in all directions around Shaq's unit, not to kill the enemy, but to...
Build an ice maze!
Build an ice maze that would prevent the returning main force from immediately supporting the central camp!
And also seal off Cromwell's escape route!
This is a tactic that can only be fully realized in the deep sea. The ubiquitous seawater is the material for building the defense line, and the freezing fish have already been deployed along the way.
At this moment, with the dense explosions, an ice three-dimensional maze covering an area of dozens of miles was directly frozen out, making this sea area mottled and bizarre.
Semi-transparent, sea urchin-shaped mine fish sinisterly floated in the narrow corridors of the ice maze.
Directly destroying the maze would waste a lot of time;
But rushing in without destroying it would make it difficult to spot the mine fish in that environment!
Also, naga troops who were about to reach the central army camp were unlucky enough to be affected by the low temperature when the freezing fish were deployed, and were turned into ice blocks along with them.
In the seabed, where there is an incredibly rich variety of species and new and strange beasts emerge endlessly, no one would suspect even if a little guy looked a bit strange!
Cromwell realized at this point that his defeat was inevitable. Holding the communication device that had just broadcast the request for help, he sighed softly.
He didn't expect the situation to collapse so quickly.
The enemy's tactic of feigning weakness aroused his greed.
Instead of immediately returning to defend, he wanted to play the 'feign weakness' card and lure the enemy in to encircle them.
As a result, he became the filling for this frozen dumpling.
The magnificent sea country whale car stopped in front of the naga's central tent. Crown Prince Shaq, with a face full of excitement, rushed down under the protection of his guards. Seeing Cromwell from afar, he couldn't help but shout excitedly, "My goodness, I really captured a naga marshal!"
"No, you won't capture me."
Black blood flowed from the corner of Cromwell's mouth, spreading in the seawater, and his body fell straight backward.
Chapter 191: Margaret Suddenly Realizes Something
Cromwell chose to commit suicide by poison in order to avoid being captured, or because he couldn't accept the failure of this high-stakes gamble.
"Ah, this..."
Crown Prince Shaq looked at this scene in shock, his face full of disbelief. He subconsciously took a step back, wanting to distance himself as much as possible from the corpse that was still holding its head high even in death.
He was clearly planning to give him noble treatment, so why was he in such a hurry to commit suicide?
"Your Highness, in some people's eyes, failure is harder to accept than death."
Roger appeared next to Shaq, answering the doubts in his heart.
Shaq turned his head to look at him, the joy and excitement on his face had not yet faded, and had already turned into shock, seeming to want to ask how there could be something more important than living?
But looking at Roger's serious expression, and Cromwell's corpse not far away, he just opened his mouth, without making any sound.
This scene was the answer, but he stubbornly refused to believe it.
Crown Prince Shaq's mood had been up and down these past few days. When he was finally about to celebrate victory, he saw such a result, and something seemed to be touched, and he couldn't be happy at all.
Margaret also stepped down from the whale car, not feeling anything about the dead.
The winner is king, the loser is a bandit~
In the little devil's eyes, this was just a defeated general with a bit of integrity, but unfortunately, his strength was ultimately not enough.
She only heard Roger's last words and couldn't help but become thoughtful, her tail waving restlessly.
She thought of something that was currently irrelevant.
Right now, this good-for-nothing brother has been ridiculed for so many years and is incredibly lazy, so he definitely doesn't particularly care about victory, defeat, or fame.
To say that this kind of person would commit suicide because of failure, Margaret wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death.
But Roger was incredibly certain when he said this conclusion, so there must be someone with this kind of personality around him.
Angelina? No. Dio probably isn't either.
Then, this "some people" should encompass...
Her Majesty?
Margaret's body suddenly trembled, realizing this was the direction she had been ignoring.
Indeed, Her Majesty is someone who values victory more than life.
Combining the difficult rise of the Green Vine Kingdom, the Eternal Night Empress is undoubtedly the kind of person who doesn't care about her own body and goes all out for victory...
Margaret is willing to dedicate everything to Her Majesty, as long as Her Majesty is happy.
But her definition of "happiness" is different from what the Eternal Night Empress thinks.
She naturally dedicates the things she thinks are good to Her Majesty, including sacrificing the people of the world to let the Eternal Night Empress live.
But at this moment, she suddenly realized that her previous thinking was seriously flawed.
If it was just about living, where would Her Majesty need her help?
What Her Majesty wants is obviously the grand cause that even if she were invincible, she couldn't accomplish alone.
Such as victory, such as a powerful Green Vine Empire, such as a free and unfettered Eternal Night world that can look down on the gods in the sky...
So, all along, the reason why she couldn't get the Eternal Night Empress's favor was because she had taken a detour!
Margaret suddenly realized this at this moment and understood everything.
Compared to directly pleasing the Eternal Night Empress, building this empire well is the most effective way to gain Her Majesty's favor!
[So, Sister-in-law understood a long time ago, and now she's deliberately revealing such important information to remind me.]
[Because of Dio, he also treats me as a friend, so he's telling me this so selflessly? Thinking about it this way, he's not so bad after all...]
Margaret looked at Roger's back, a complex look on her beautiful face.
She inexplicably received a huge favor.
Dio and Roger's philosophy is to make this empire stronger even if it goes against Her Majesty's will.
So even if they are offensive, they will still gain Her Majesty's trust.
Angelina is actually the same.
The blue-haired Madonna is kind, but she is also very bold at times.
In comparison, I'm the only court jester in the entire court, relying on hugging Her Majesty's thighs to get by...
My vision is too narrow, Mary!
I'm the clown myself.jpg
Margaret bit her lip, unable to believe that she was wrong, really wrong, and ridiculously wrong...
At this moment, the heart-wrenching scene in the game storyline where Margaret turned to the Seven Gods to fight for a chance of survival for the Empress was finally completely impossible to happen.
Roger and Shaq briefly discussed a few words, ordered people to drag Cromwell's body away, turned around and walked back to the crown prince's whale car, preparing to retreat.
The enemy's main force was about to return from the front battlefield, and the scattered camps were also rushing to support them.
The ice maze could slow down the enemy's support speed, but the difference between the sea and the ground is that if you treat the seabed as the ground, then all arms can be regarded as the air force, so the choice of detours is more diverse than the troops on the ground.
As a result, the time delayed by the ice maze is limited. After seizing the gap to disintegrate the enemy's central camp and forcing Cromwell to commit suicide, they must escape immediately.
There are still more than 30,000 tired troops left, and 80% of the bio-fish swarms have been consumed. If they are surrounded by the enemy at this time, they will surely die.
But as soon as Roger turned his head, he saw Margaret looking at him with a complex expression, her eyes filled with tears. As soon as she saw him looking over, she immediately blushed and subconsciously turned around and walked back to the whale car.
"This time, thank you..."
A faint voice came from the little devil's side, which stunned Roger.
Thank... thank you for what?
This little devil suddenly looked at him with an expression like she was in heat, which really confused him.
He was setting the stage for Crown Prince Shaq's transformation, to prepare him mentally for taking charge of the sea country, but how did Margaret suddenly come up with an expression of "I understand"...
It's inexplicable!
But there's no time to ask in this situation, it's better to escape first.
After hesitating slightly, Roger and Shaq boarded the whale car together.
The whale swarm dragged the captives and the equipment and supplies that could be taken away, retreating to the second defense line as quickly as possible.
Boom!
A series of explosions came from behind. The naga's central camp, which had been ravaged, was directly blown into dust. The things that couldn't be moved couldn't be left to the enemy either.
In the whale car, Margaret had returned to normal at this time, still talking and laughing with Roger without restraint, and looking down on Shaq, as if nothing had changed.
Only from an angle where Roger couldn't see, Margaret showed a bit of regret in her eyes...
They are all good men, why do they have to like each other?
It's too difficult for the girls of the empire. Not only do they have to guard against little bitches stealing their husbands, but they also have to guard against their husbands stealing their husbands...
Hey, who can I reason with?
……
……
Just as Roger expected, they left in less than ten minutes.
Saintess Nicole, who had left the troops to support them, directly blasted a path in the ice maze with a group of naga powerhouses and saw the camp that had been bombed into ruins.
"Marshal... how could he have been defeated? Where is he now?"
A naga general, personally promoted by Cromwell, showed a shocked and unbelievable expression.
Nicole silently cast a divine spell, and soon an influence appeared in front of everyone.
The scene of the sea country breaking through the central camp with cheers and Cromwell committing suicide by poison appeared in front of everyone.
"That Crown Prince Shaq, has he been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger all along?"
"What's going on with those strange fish swarms from the sea country?"
"Marshal, my marshal, wuwuwuwu why couldn't you hold on a little longer, I was already coming..."
The nagas showed shocked, surprised, and painful expressions, all different.
There was also a sense of panic that they didn't understand themselves.
Compared to their previous successes, today's battle situation was too unacceptable. It was an unprecedented loss since the start of the war.
The battle plan was completely unsuccessful, the supreme commander directly fell on the battlefield, the Thunder Punishment Legion was completely annihilated, and the large troops were still being pursued by Dale...
There were also many old subordinates cultivated by Cromwell present. Seeing Marshal being forced to commit suicide by Crown Prince Shaq, they all remembered that bastard's "rampant smiling face" in their hearts.
"The one who led this battle was not the sea country crown prince. Behind him were two young people, one was the left minister and minister of the military department of the Green Vine Empire, and the other was the commander of the intelligence agency. Those fish swarms with different functions must also have an inseparable relationship with the Green Vine Empire."
Nicole's voice, which didn't have many ups and downs, directly calmed everyone down, and they lowered their heads in shame.
She has always been kind and friendly, and very friendly to everyone. Her expressionless face and cold voice at this moment show that she is really angry and is suppressing her anger.
