General Carter was speechless by Her Majesty's squeezing. In my heart, I vaguely felt that what Artoria said was not unreasonable. While secretly regretting it, she also has a new understanding of her own queen: it turns out that she is not just a lazy and ruthless little girl. There is also a certain amount of research on strategy and tactics.

However, Artoria's next sentence shattered General Carter's previous speculation:

"Well, if that's the case, I'll move a little bit. Prepare the boat for me. I was in charge of the operation. After saying this, Artoria turned, leaving the stunned General Carter, back to her room, and with the help of some of the maids, put on her armor and-

"Please wait, Your Highness!" General Carter finally reacted, stopping Artoria before she could open the door and enter.

"What else?" Artoria asked in a voice that was clearly unpleasant.

"That...... Your Royal Highness, your status is noble, and this kind of thing is done by your subordinates. Remembering the letters his lord had written to him, General Carter was sweating profusely with fright—if the queen had done something wrong, his life would have been lost.

"You don't have to worry about this. For me, it's just a recreation, no different from hunting, playing bridge, etc. It has nothing to do with how the identity is. Artoria snorted and replied.

"But—but hasn't your body ever recovered, Your Highness?" Carter continued to persuade with another reason.

"Oh, that......" Artoria turned up the corners of her mouth and showed a smug smile: "Well, you don't have to worry about it." I'm all right—"

"-How is that possible?!" General Carter blurted out in extreme surprise.

"Why, can't be?" Artoria turned around with a wicked smile, and then, slowly, little by little, she took the token of love that Egil had given her—the Libra ring, which had actually been replaced once, had faded from her left ring finger, and had been a little strained and slightly sore because she had gained a little weight recently. After that, he carefully put it on with the gold chain that he had prepared and hung it around his neck. After that, looking at the speechless General Carter, he repeated.

"So, how is it impossible, General Carter?"

"Ah...... Yes...... That one...... This one...... Because ......"

As a special character produced by the system, General Carter is in a high position. It is different from the characters produced by the general system. The meaning of the Libra ring worn by Artoria is very clear. At the same time, I have a further understanding of the evil nature of my own lord. But he really didn't expect it. This Western landscape was suddenly exposed by Artoria -- [***] Why me? Why do I have so many things?! Is she going to kill people?! What is her purpose?!

For a moment, General Carter felt his head buzzing, as if there were 108,000 flies circling around him, buzzing and buzzing......

"Alright, now it's all right, right?" Artoria asked with a light snort.

General Carter shook his head slowly, then nodded vigorously.

"Alright, I'll be in charge of the operation this time, okay?" Artoria asked.

General Carter then nodded vigorously.

"One last point—if Your Majesty knows anything about it...... No matter how I found out, I'm going to kill you first. ”

General Carter then nodded vigorously. Although he did not personally participate in the battle on the Thames that year. But through the slightly exaggerated descriptions of many colleagues, he knew that the queen might have a very high surname. And she is definitely not her opponent.

"Then it's fine, feel free to do so. Artoria waved her hand and motioned for General Carter to go. After that, he slammed his hatch shut and began to change his armor.

After a thud, General Carter regained his strength, and then ran back to his room, locked the hatch, and knelt before the portrait of God, drawing a cross on his chest.

"Lord, I am guilty......

After that, we wept bitterly.

In this way, Artoria very easily settled the commander of the naval fleet, Admiral Carter, who was twice her size. He was given supreme command of the landing operation and regained his full strength, at least for the time being.

Therefore, Her Majesty, who has recently increased the amount of food a little, is not an easy guy to deal with. Although the ability to govern the country is a little worse. But the cunning and the grasp of the human heart are not below Egil. In addition to this, there is an extremely strong personal force as a backing. If it weren't for the fact that even if she had met Egil, I am afraid that the whole of England would have been ravaged by her iron hooves, and the European continent would have suffered great disasters.

That's it. Even the whole continent is not a problem. This is not to mention the city of Groningen in the Duchy of Burgundy, which was the target of this raid.

Not what General Carter had in mind. Her Majesty has no regard for the small villages and towns along the coast. Her goal was to be one of the most important cities in the entire Duchy of Burgundy, the city of Groningen, the center of trade and transportation in the northeastern Netherlands.

This time, although it was said to be a temporary idea, in a very short time, Artoria figured out what she should do:

First, the purpose of her trip was to fight against a coalition army that included the French princes and the king.

Second, Burgundy was one of the strongest coalition forces.

Thirdly, Groningen is a very rich and important city. Commerce, handicrafts, and agriculture are well developed.

Well, well, loot the city, slaughter it, set it on fire. What kind of sensational effect would that have? What kind of shock would it have on the Burgundian army? Will there be deserters? The army's mind will change? Worried about property and family, so the soldiers have no desire to fight?

All in all, it's a fun thing to try. Even if it failed, it would only be a loss of a few hundred pirate light infantry. No big deal.

Moreover, the garrison of this city should be very weak, because the main force is all going to besiege Normandy. Thinking about it this way, it is really convenient to have a navy.

After the fleet anchored in Groningen, a total of 600 Vikings dressed in light leather armor and armed with tomahawk shields landed in small boats. After that, under Artoria's strict orders, the team quickly formed, and then the woman was seen in an extremely fanatical manner, waving the long sword in her hand, and shouting: "I am the commander of the operation this time! Do you hear me, you scumbags?! All actions must be under my orders! Even if I ask you to go to a crowded place to do a swing dance in a crowded place after wearing a plaid dress, you must do so - or I will let your heads fall to the ground-do you hear?!"

“......”

A group of Viking warriors looked at Artoria in surprise and helplessness. That is, after Artoria's fourteen points of brutality came into full play and cut down the three Viking warriors in the front row with a single sword. only then did he become extremely jealous.

Then, Liwei's goal has been achieved, and the next thing to do is to induce.

"Okay - don't you scumbags just want money?! Then follow me and grab it! There are valuable possessions in Groningen! And I'm different from my husband. I'm not interested in anything but blood, killing and burning—everything you grab is yours!

After hearing Artoria's assurance, the Vikings looked at each other: "This...... But the lord has commanded that half of the looted property must be handed over in any case......"

"Do you want me to say it a second time? I'm in command of this operation. Hearing the Vikings' words, Artoria's face sank. Continue to threaten.

A handful of Vikings hesitated. But the vast majority are still extremely resistant.

"I'm responsible for what happens. Your Majesty also has me to talk about it!!"

As a result, more pirates wavered.

"-Are you really pirates?!I'm a woman who is more daring than you!!Touch your crotch to see if you're scared?!Waste is waste!!"

So, in the end, under the coercion and temptation of Artoria, the Vikings were finally instigated. After dispelling the fear of the sovereign. The greedy surnames of the pirates instantly occupied the entire heart and even the soul. I don't have to hand over all the things I grabbed!! This kind of good thing can be caught up by me. Thank God.

Leave that aside whether God will answer the prayers of this group of scum. At least Artoria's purpose was achieved. This group of Vikings broke out with a much stronger morale than normal. I've sharpened my knives and I'm ready to do a big job.

So, under the leadership of Artoria, the pirates first ransacked a small coastal village, and in the threat of killing the entire village, captured two locals as a guide to Groningen.

However, when the pirates quietly approached Groningen in pairs with the help of the groves outside the city, a little accident happened. A middle-aged villager who had been captured did not know where the courage came from, and suddenly raised his head and shouted in the direction !!!of Groningen: "City guards!

After hearing such shouts, the city of Groningen was in an uproar. The shouts of rage, the screams, the creaking of the suddenly lowered gates, and the desperate cries of the guards and civilians who had been cut off from the outside, rang out all at once. Seeing such a scene, Artoria's face was extremely gloomy, and her eyes revealed a heavy murderous intent......;
