Chapter 503: The news of the Irish defeat and the Emperor Ludovico

Ludovico who was watching calmly as a Nordic woman was led by two soldiers to a small training area.

He drank some wine while he watched as they released a bear and gave the woman a rusty sword to fight with that creature.

The bear that had not been fed in a long time lunged at the woman as he was too hungry to think of anything else other than destroying the prey that he had in front of him.

The woman looking that the bear was about to arrive with her took a deep breath and turning her sword buried it over her heart to end her life because she did not think to suffer and give the stupid Christian emperor the opportunity to boast with the death of her.

Nobody noticed that small action as he jealously pounced on the woman’s corpse, destroying and devour her, completely eliminating the evidence that she had committed suicide.

Ludovico stroked his chin and watched with a smile as the woman was slaughtered by the bear ‘A beautiful way to sleep for a damn pagan.

I hope the other women are like you and can give me too bloody a show, because that’s the only value you damn Nordic women have … ‘

Emperor Ludovico’s thoughts were interrupted when a messenger approached where he was.

“We have information about the defeat of the Irish army. The island of Ireland officially belongs to the Nordics.

According to reports from spies and officials from some kingdoms on the island of Brittany, the Irish army also destroyed itself, because somehow they fought for the disappearance and death of some Kings.

The army, which had over 200,000 people, started a confrontation which ended with the complete loss of the army.

The survivors escaped, and those who did not ended up dying on that battlefield.

There are also messages from the kingdoms of the island of Brittany requesting immediate help, as the vast majority of them want to build walls in order to defend their territories.

Because they don’t want to end up dying and losing like the Irish nobles did.

We also have information coming from the wall of the pagans where the army mentions that in another month the attack will be able to be launched.

This is due to the fact that it was delayed because of some issues that were not foreseen. In the letter that I am going to give the emperor, all the data is more disaggregated and in great detail.

However, respecting the rules, I don’t dare to open those letters because I would be violating the laws. “

Ludovico sighed and took two letters from the messenger’s hand, which he put aside before raising his head and looking up at the sky.

‘The speed with which he was able to destroy the entire Irish collision army is almost completely unheard of.

I cannot believe that I have managed to create so much damage in such a short time. Without a doubt, I have to do something to stop it. I think I should send a group of assassins.

I am completely sure that Rome must have sent its own assassins to end the life of that pagan.

But I can’t just be trusting that they are going to achieve their goal. I also have to prepare myself to be able to put an end to that damn king once and for all.

Although unfortunately I cannot end his family as well because the children of that dog from Kassia are quite dangerous, because they can theoretically inherit the two empires.

Unfortunately, their father is generating so much power that it will be easy for him at some point to be able to claim with force what belongs to his children. ‘

Ludovico took a deep breath and lowered his head to look at the messenger. “I want you to immediately bring all my advisers as I need to speak with them at this very moment.”

The messenger bowed and walked away as fast as he could because he did not want to take too long to be able to carry the words of the emperor.

This mainly because he knew that if he delayed, he would be executed by the mad emperor.

Some time later from Ludovico who was in front of a large stone table that was in the courtyard of the palace looked at his ministers seriously.

“I have brought you together because I want to inform you that the island of Ireland officially fell into the hands of the pagan Nordics, so their next objective is going to be to attack the island of Britain.

I want all of you to prepare extra resources so that I can send materials and labor to the island of Brittany.

We have to get their walls built quickly, for that way we can stop the heathen enemies for maybe a year or two.

Unfortunately, I am almost sure that we will not be able to stop the Nordic advance on the island of Brittany for a long time, however if we can win a year or two, we could prepare enough to be able to fortify our empire.

Also, because of this, I came to the conclusion that we must create backup plans. That is why after thinking it over carefully for a while.

I think the best we can do to have a backing in this war is to prepare the best assassins in the empire to send them to the island of Britain.

We simply have to fill that island with enough people who are willing to assassinate the heathen king and his followers.

That is why I want you to bring together all the people who have the capacity to be murderers. I know it will not be an easy thing and it will possibly take a long time to bring people together.

But it is something that is completely necessary for the future of the empire, if that damn King paying thinks that he can declare war on all the Christians of the world simply for a bitch.

I am going to show him that he will not be able to rest easy for a single day of his life because there will be murderers in every place where he is, so he will have to live in fear.

I want all those murderers that we gather to congregate and found an organization that we will call the order of the murderers.

Whose sole mission is to end any enemy of the Christian religion, for that I will also send letters to the Supreme Pontiff to support us with the creation of this order of murderers.

Although it pains me to say it, I believe that the ideal is that they remain completely independent and only work for the welfare of Christians.

Of course, they must always respect the laws that we impose because otherwise we would be putting our own integrity at risk.

Sometimes enemies make us create tools that are possibly more dangerous than we think, however, if we do not take those risks.

We can easily lose this war, as difficult enemies mean desperate measures. “
