The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

#226 - Section 226

"Doer lost, I... I can't do it." Shark covered the spot where he was kicked, curling up like a shrimp.

Roger walked out of the noisy whale car, looking towards the Black Shark Fortress.

He found that he wasn't surprised by this situation, and even felt a sense of relief that the other party had finally made a move.

The unknown is the greatest fear. He had been worried about what Nicole was waiting for, and now that worry had finally become a reality.

"Arrange for people, I want to go over there and take a look. Doer shouldn't be so easy to kill."

Roger said to Little Joey, who was chasing after him with an uneasy expression.

At this point, he had roughly guessed Nicole's intentions, and it was his turn next.

Chapter 202: Following His Back

"My lord, let me take people there, or let the Sea Country people go. You should be in command of the central army."

Little Joey didn't want Roger to go to the front lines. This wasn't an imperial war, so why should her man take risks?

She also sympathized with the Sea Country and believed that the Naga's invasion was an unjust war, but she was most concerned about Roger.

"Don't worry, I can take a beating." Roger patted her hand, signaling her not to worry.

"Alright, my lord, if you insist."

Seeing Roger's insistence, Little Joey had no choice but to go down and make arrangements.

Soon, a total of nineteen legendary powerhouses were arranged, two Silver Sleeves from the Dark Night Guard, and the rest were all Sea Country people.

They were also very worried about the Black Shark Fortress. Hearing that Roger was going to cross the blockade line to investigate the situation, everyone eagerly signed up, and the number of people was quickly gathered.

"I want to advance to Legendary too!" Little Joey was indignant that she couldn't accompany him, secretly vowing in her heart.

This feeling of not being able to help was too annoying.

Just because she had always been the lord's assistant didn't mean she didn't have a heart to carry.

Margaret and Shark, the crown prince, next to her, watched the powerhouse squad depart with strange expressions.

Margaret had just mocked Roger for being impulsive and taking risks for the Sea Country people, but Roger's words were a direct kill: "What would Her Majesty do if she knew that the Naga might be massacring civilians?"

Nicole raising the blood-colored flag of the city's slaughter was public knowledge, and Margaret had naturally seen it.

The Sea Country people were not imperial citizens now, but they would be sooner or later.

It was understandable that people died in battle between the two armies, but the Eternal Night Empress would never sit idly by and watch the cowardly bully the weak and deal with civilians, and would try to stop it.

So once again, it proved that this guy understood the Empress better than she did!

The little hanger-on was unconvinced, but couldn't help but be convinced.

Prince Shark was worried, a little aggrieved in his worries, and there was some kind of emotion he didn't understand brewing.

Shark was so frightened that he sat on the ground and wailed, and even the captain of the guard, Stillwell, watched him indifferently, without coming over to help him, but instead participated in the subsequent strategic discussions with the staff.

Shark couldn't help but realize something.

In this situation, fear was useless. With the building about to collapse, every mermaid was trying their best to save the decline. Where was the time to comfort a crown prince who had lost his courage and responsibility?

When Roger expressed that he was going to the Black Shark Fortress to search for Doer's whereabouts, Stillwell eagerly signed up and took the initiative to participate.

There were countless things more important than His Highness the Crown Prince's happiness at the moment.

He wasn't a child, he was an adult. Tears and wailing wouldn't get him any sympathy, only the contempt and ridicule of others.

In the adult world, if his father wasn't the Sea Emperor, who would care about his emotions?

The country was about to be destroyed, the Sea Emperor was naturally unstable, and this so-called crown prince was even more meaningless. Everyone was busy saving themselves!

And in Shark's eyes, the heaviest blow came from Roger.

Shark could actually feel that the imperial people, and even many of the generals around him, had a contemptuous attitude towards him.

But he didn't care.

He felt that his thoughts were different from theirs, so let them look down on him.

Roger was different, he always treated Shark with a fairly tolerant attitude.

When Margaret ridiculed and disliked Shark, Roger would comfort him and then teach him to grow.

Stillwell would die to protect his lord, but he also didn't respect Shark, only because he was loyal to his mother's family.

Shark wasn't smart, but he had a keen and sensitive heart.

The Sea Country's crown prince was rich in the four seas, and there were as many subordinates and lackeys who flattered him as he wanted, but spiritual and identity recognition still required people with sufficient status and wisdom to provide.

Roger happened to meet Shark's need for this sense of identity. He was a big figure with considerable influence in the empire.

More interestingly, Roger also had the name of a useless younger brother in the City of Mysteries, a profligate son who followed his older sister and lived off her.

It was only in the last two years that he had grown up, gained the trust of the Eternal Night Empress, and then done one amazing feat after another, shocking the empire and even the entire world.

Shark saw the possibility of a salted fish turning over in Roger, and then Roger took him to win the first battle, lighting up the torch that illuminated the haze of the Sea Country's failure.

That was the first time since Shark could remember that he felt that the ordinary Sea Country people had some expectations of him, and his parents showed him an approving smile...

That feeling was really great, and he still smiled when he thought about it.

If it wasn't impossible, who wouldn't want to be the first in the class in every exam!

But when he returned to the front line and watched Margaret issue orders in his name to command the army, Shark immediately fell back to reality.

It turned out that those honors and expectations only belonged to him in name, not created by him.

He was just a spokesperson pushed out, and the empire needed to use his crown prince status to do things.

When Shark was frustrated, Roger once again encouraged him, telling him that he could learn to do things he didn't know.

Shark had systematically studied command, management, and morale boosting. He had just been away from it for too long, but if there was an opportunity to practice, he would soon remember it and then develop confidence.

Gradually, Shark integrated into the front line and unconsciously developed a dependence on Roger like a teacher and friend.

Although Roger's real age was younger than Shark, psychologically, he was much more mature than Shark.

Shark felt that he was another profligate son, and hoped that one day he could become a real crown prince and be admired by thousands of people.

However, this beautiful wish seemed to be shattered?

He was frightened by the news of the fall of the Black Shark Fortress, lost his composure, and gave up the battle earlier than the most basic soldiers.

When the incident happened, Roger didn't look at him, didn't give him the comfort he used to, and announced that he was going to the Black Shark Fortress to search for the Fourth Prince Doer.

Did this prove that Doer's position in his heart was more important than his?

It was ridiculous to say that Shark had never cared that the Sea Emperor favored Doer.

But when he heard that Roger was going to risk his life for Doer, he felt a sense of abandonment.

It could only be said that it was better to come at the right time than to come early.

The image that Roger had been building, and the great success of the first military operation, had allowed this crown prince to hear genuine praise for the first time in his life.

This was the first time he had attracted the attention of the entire Sea Country for doing something.

Instead of doing something stupid, making a joke, and being spread all over the country by those who were interested.

This was very meaningful to Shark, and he felt that he could do it again.

But the battle situation took a turn for the worse, and Roger ignored him again, and Shark's sky was once again covered with dark clouds.

He was afraid of being abandoned, and felt wronged that he was being abandoned like this.

But now the situation was urgent, and he had no chance to explain or promise anything to Roger.

Shark felt some emotions surging in his heart, urging him to do something.

A person who didn't belong to the Sea Country was working hard to think and act positively to save the Sea Country.

The real crown prince of the Sea Country was lying on the ground, unable to get up because of fear.

Although he was indeed kicked very hard by Margaret, the more painful injury was actually in his heart.

Was he going to disappoint the last person in the world who trusted him and expected him?

It turned out that it wasn't the world that abandoned him, but that he hadn't kept up with the times.

It was difficult for a person to recognize their mistakes.

But if a person realizes their mistakes and is determined to correct them, it is very simple.

The fear caused by the fall of the Black Shark Fortress had passed.

His body regained strength, he walked out of the whale car, watched Roger leave with a team of powerhouses, his 60,000 men were launching a more frantic attack on Nicole's blockade line, and he suddenly understood the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Even if the Sea Country was going to be finished, he was still the crown prince of the Sea Country. He would rather die standing than live on his knees.

He was the commander of this second line of defense. No matter how scared he was, he couldn't abandon these 60,000 soldiers, and let them continue to fight in desperation without any value because there was no command.

Even if the Sea Country really lost this battle, it couldn't lose so badly, scaring the crown prince into a useless person.

He had to stand up, he had to stand out.

He shouldered the responsibility commensurate with his bloodline and status, and when the Sea Country was at a disadvantage, he tried to find a possibility of turning the tables.

Before, he felt that these big things had nothing to do with him. He was just a mermaid without ideals, who just wanted to lie down.

But now, looking at the back of another person, he knew that he had no way out and could not escape.

Even lying down required a safe environment.

But now that the Naga had broken through the Sea Country, could he still pretend not to see it, continue to retreat cowardly, and be a useless crown prince?

He couldn't!

Even if the whole world didn't look up to him, as long as there was one person who believed in him, he should return him a miracle!

The complexity and hesitation in Shark's eyes gradually disappeared. He closed his eyes gently, recalling his life, which could be called a failure, and then comparing it with the taste of victory.

Then he opened his eyes, revealing a desire, and looked at the battlefield like a meat grinder.

Those most ordinary soldiers had not given up, and he couldn't give up even more.

Those warriors who fought for the Sea Country were still willing to do their best to fight for a possibility, to protect the wider territory of the Sea Country behind them, and to protect the old, weak, women and children.

That was his country, and the fine clothes and delicacies he enjoyed all came from the output of this country.

Now that the country was in trouble, how could she still stand here shivering, like a coward, waiting for God to send down a miracle?

He was the crown prince of the Sea Country, and he wanted to personally fight for that miracle for the people who were still alive and had not given up resisting!

In the past, he could be looked down upon by the world, but at this moment, he didn't want the person who had believed in him to be completely disappointed in him.

He wanted to prove that he could do as well as his fourth brother, or even better!

"Put on my armor."

Shark suddenly said to his guards.

"Your Highness? What did you say?" These guards showed puzzled looks.

"Put on my armor, I want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, break through the enemy's blockade, and rescue the Black Shark Fortress!"

"Your Highness, the battle ahead is very fierce, and you..."

"Do as I say!"

Shark's voice was not loud, but it had a firmness that he had never had before, and because of his firmness, majesty was born.

From childhood, he knew what a big man should look like, but he was too lazy to pretend in the past.

"Yes!" A group of guards busied themselves, putting on a full set of armor for him.

Shark was a level thirteen warrior, and also had the innate ability to control waves, coupled with the armor and weapons specially made for him by the Sea Emperor, he was a quite powerful third-order professional.

It was just that those equipment were placed at the bottom of the luggage and had already grown dust.

The people of the Sea Country all knew that His Highness the Crown Prince did not lack talent, did not lack strength, but lacked courage, and a goal to act on.

Now, he had found that goal, and found the figure he wanted to pursue and imitate.

He brushed the dust off his sword, straightened his back, pressed the hilt of the sword, and swam out of the whale car with a flick of his tail.

Margaret looked at the figure rushing out with doubt, and asked incredulously: "Is that our crown prince?"

Little Joey replied: "Yes."
