The Queen Villainess Eavesdrops on My Heart and Won’t Let Me Slack Off - Chapter 188: The Scraps of Roger With the Full Map

The Second Defense Line of the Sea Country, Prince Shaku’s Camp.

Inside the main tent of the central army, Prince Shaku felt both surprised and inexplicably embarrassed as he read the letter of reply from the Fourth Prince, along with a deep sense of fear.

Despite his handsome face and tall stature inherited from both parents’ excellent genes, he completely failed to exude any sense of power and authority due to his timid and shrinking demeanor.

This is also why despite his pure bloodline, Shaku has never been supported by his subjects.

He had long aspired to become a benevolent emperor, and in the event of failing to attain that, a leisurely prince. Thus, it came as a surprise to him that he found himself on the battlefield one day, engaged in a head-on confrontation with the military might of the Naga Empire.

According to his reckoning, even if the maritime nation were to lose, with its vast territory, wasn’t it unlikely for it to be swallowed up by the Naga before his demise?

He was like a carefree prodigal son who, in his original conception, counted on guarding the treasures and leaving it to his offspring to take care of any problems.

However, due to momentary confusion, he was swindled into accompanying Shady to the Green Vines Empire, only to be implicated as a pawn due to Shady’s foolish and failed actions.

Subsequently, the situation in the maritime nation deteriorated rapidly.

The Naga’s attack was not a gradual erosion as before. After undergoing a qualitative change in strength, their assault became frenzied and irresistible, causing the Sea Country to collapse at an unimaginable speed under the onslaught of the Naga.

At that time, Shaku also wanted to do something for his country, not wanting to feel ashamed of his Sea Clan bloodline.

Seeing Margret’s vulnerability and believing that the Empire was eager to avenge the Terra Kingdom, he continued to negotiate a lower price.

Finally, he managed to purchase the Empire’s new equipment at a price he thought was a great deal.

The subsequent developments completely exceeded the imagination of the prince.

It is not enough to only transport the equipment back to the country. Now, they have come to the battlefield and must personally command the fight.

Then, they took the initiative to attack and marched towards the powerful and savage Naga.

“Why did I come here?” Shaku asked Stivie, his chief of staff and a legendary knight from his mother’s family.

“Your Highness’ courage is admirable. We, your servants, will fight to the death to uphold the glory of our country!” Stivie replied enthusiastically, filled with joy and admiration.

“It’s good to see you happy.”

Shaku looked at the old knight next to him in frustration, filled with helplessness.

Stevie and the people beside him, including his mother, and even his father who deliberately tested him, were all very happy that he went to the front line.

Sir Stevie, who watched Shaku grow up, thought he would accompany the useless prince for his whole life and be a nameless bodyguard.

Who would have thought the cowardly prince would also grow up, and have the chance to appear on the battlefield.

And it was the most dangerous moment for the sea country, building an immortal achievement, becoming the hero who turned the tide!

As a legendary-level professional and a famous strongman in the country of the sea, Steward thought that Prince Shaku had grown up, matured and become more sensible, thus surpassing the fourth prince who loved to show off. Naturally, he was excited and happy.

However, Shaku himself thought that while fighting was still possible, dying in battle was completely unnecessary.

He inherently had an indecisive side, otherwise he would not have been persuaded by Shady to wait and continue until he was captured…

If it was his fourth brother Dore who was trapped by Shady in that place, regardless of Shady’s reasons, he would have already sent his subordinates to try to capture Roger.

Shaku’s arrival at the front line was met with worry and regret towards his impulsive decision.

In response to Margaret’s urging for collaboration in the attack, he devised a plan of action using his fourth younger brother as an excuse for refusal.

As the primary battlefield remains inactive, he acknowledges the secondary battlefield should avoid instigating conflict. Instead, they should support when called upon.

Surprisingly, Dole agreed to his proposal.

His fourth younger brother, who previously sought the throne, agreeably accepted his proposal as the prince, which is unprecedented in their prior relationship.

Not only did Dole agree, but he also promised to send a substantial number of troops to launch a massive counterattack against the Naga Legion, besieging the Black Shark Fortress.

This didn’t bring Shaku any joy, but rather increased his concern, as this was a trap set by Daor for himself.

In the lengthy battle between the mermaids and naga, the former mostly adopted a defensive strategy and gradually lost a large amount of territory to the latter, with very few actively attacking campaigns leaving the fortress.

In particular, the naga received new equipment from the Terra Kingdom and relentlessly attacked the mermaid sea, with even the elite troops unable to withstand the coordinated lightning punishment of infantry and tanks and nearly forgetting how to launch counterattacks out of the city.

Prince Shaker arrived to establish the second defense line, with Margaret’s commanding talent, and quickly established a decent camp.

However, he harbors a considerable amount of doubt about the combat effectiveness of his subordinates.

In the hands of Dao’er lies the border defense forces of the Sea Country, sustained by the utmost efforts of the Sea Country’s royal family. Despite facing multiple losses against the Naga, they have at least undergone practical combat experience.

His subordinates consist of 20,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 private soldiers from distinguished maternal families. They are equipped well and trained sufficiently, but all are newcomers who have never seen bloodshed.

Their routine duty is to stand sentry and maintain public order, as well as conduct parades to deter the surrounding vassal races. Their drill proficiency in marching is much higher than in the use of long spears.

The crucial factor that emboldened Shaque to step forward was nothing but the Empire’s support.

If the equipment provided by the Empire’s support were inferior, he felt that he would be certainly doomed.

Therefore, following Shaq’s original intention, the defensive line was established and they waited for the attack from the Nagas, holding on to the dangerous position and forcing the Nagas to split their forces to defend against them in order to complete the mission.

However, the empire didn’t think that way. They supported Shaq, and tactically, they needed him to test the equipment. Strategically, they needed both the ocean’s two overlords, the dogfish and the, uh, the fish-brained ones, to fight it out. How could they accompany Shaq here to waste time?

Therefore, after a crisp and clear scolding from Margaret, Shaq felt ashamed yet spirited, and proposed a plan for a coordinated attack.

As soon as they made the proposal, they regretted it and waited for their fourth brother to veto the plan.

And now, the fourth brother has agreed, their subordinates are actively preparing for battle and only they are unable to sleep and figure out how they ended up in this situation…

As I pondered, the sun begun to set

Despite not sleeping all night, Shaq stood firm with his dark circles eyes, looking at his well-equipped and high-spirited subordinates, who were arranged in a large formation of tens thousand people, full of vigor and waiting for his orders to attack.

Although Shaq was quite useless, he still received a full inheritance education, and knew how to boost morale and other similar phrases. He made an excellent pre-war morale up speech.

“You talk about big game, but unfortunately you pale in comparison to His Majesty.” Margaret sneered.

In her eyes, the Eternal Night Empress was the best in the world, and she could make her subordinates agitate with just a few words.

“After all, he’s just running errands for me. Your Majesty is the real deal. There’s a difference in status,” Roger pointed out sharply. “In terms of ability, Shaq is a qualified successor. Your scolding yesterday was quite useful.”

Roger knew about the news of “Mary Disease” in the military. After listening to a real witness yesterday, he discovered that it had a rhythmic and pleasing sound, and was soundful.

Anyway, it wasn’t he who was scolded. Listening to it was quite passable. Doesn’t it actually stimulate Prince Shak’s fighting spirit?

They all looked towards the distant horizon view, waiting for the departure.

The nearby seawater is azure colored, but as far as one can see, it becomes a darkness that could devour even the light.

The immense existence, boundless and majestic, exerts a natural divine pressure, evoking an involuntary sense of awe.

Roger felt fortunate to not having thalassophobia. His first time underwater offered a unique view, an extraordinary distance, and vast and weighty sea creatures, a scenery unobservable on land.

Nevertheless, any intelligent life form, would seek a survival space or a myriad of other reasons, will inevitably stage a life-or-death battle…

This is perhaps the inevitable outcome of everyone’s yearning to live a better life in limited invorenment

Sooner later, he found himself lost in literary musings, then a glimmer of light burst forth from the dark and deep seawater, visible even thousands of kilometers away.

Then came the sky filled with deep blue colors, as if a thunderous hell was blooming in the distance.

That was the frontline battlefield, where Na’gar’s Thundering Punishment Legion had already been deployed and fiercely battled with Dell’s subordinate troops.

Shak’s legion couldn’t help but breathe heavily, looking at their commander with huge expectant and admiringly eyes…

Shak felt their desire for battle, so he rose from the chair and shout even if he had immense fear in his heart, raising his arm high and shouting, “Charge!”

“Woo-woo–”

The deep sound of the conch shell echoed for miles and miles. The allied army, comprised of various races from forty thousand seas, embarked on the giant whale and set off to the central army of the Naga…

Shaq and all the soldiers who swam past him exchanged resolute glances, responding to their courageous..

Finally, all the soldiers set off, and Shaq also equiped the magnificent king whale carriage to rush into front line.

Inside the carriage, only Roger and Margaret were present. Stidvei led half of his personal guard as the guard dog, while the remaining guards patrol around the carriage in vigilant

So when Shaq walked in, he collapsed onto the chair as if he had lost all his strength and just sleep away.

It is truly exhausting for a timid prince to feign bravery and fearlessness without making a mistake

He pretended to be composed while greeting the soldiers, but his clothes beneath the armor were already completely soaked.

As Shak’s lips parted and closed like a fish out of water, he whispered underneath despairingly, “I feel like I am sending forty thousand men to their deaths… and soon, I will die too.”

Margaret sneered and uttered a piercing word “useless” in silence.

Her beloved Majesty would never act in such a low manner. This coward fooled others into going to battle, but couldn’t even control his own emotions.

Roger reassured with a beaming smile, “Your Highness, you have fulfilled your duty. From now on, only victory awaits, and all the nagas will cease to exist.”

A glimmer of light flickered in Shak’s gray eyes as he gazed at Roger in disbelief, seeking a confirmation, “Does that mean I have finally fillfilled my duty too?”

Roger nodded with a smile, “You have played the role of a lorx very well. Your Majesty, please trust in the empire for the upcoming battles. We shall bring victory.”

“Playing a role…how amusing. He is just a prince of the Sea Kingdom,” Margaret couldn’t help but laugh, crunching the lobster claw specially provided for royalty.

Suddenly, Shak’s face turned red, he was embarrassed and at a loss for words.

In fact, one’s actions couldn’t match the title of the crown prince, so just a slight progress might make others impressed…

He might be regarded as an imbecile who could barely write his own name, and no one expects more from him.

Roger looked at Shack, who was bowing his head, and naturally knew what he was thinking. A mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

He made an excuse to get some fresh air outside, and took out his hyper-dimensional drawing board.

Besides the current advantage of superior equipment, he has absolute intelligence advantage that ensures his certain triumph.

Nicole often discusses the battle situation in the group opposing the Green Vines Union, as all her equipment needs maintenance from Frankenstein, the dwarf artisan, under the pseudonym Copperbeard.

With this information, Roger could easily grasp the Nagas’ deployment of forces, military distribution, and equipment status.

Therefore, he is actually fighting while driving around the entire map!

In addition to the one-night production of the base coral and the suicide fish group following the oceanic giant whale, he has thoroughly prepared for this battle.

The Nagas’ mentality was quite scattered when they reached this stage of the battle.

Prince Shake is well aware of the establishment of the second line of defense with a biased army, yet so far there has been no close reconnaissance or probing.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Prince Shake’s reputation as a waste was too widespread, so Naga didn’t take him seriously.

However, on the battlefield, any small factor can determine the outcome of a battle, leaving no room for carelessness.

Margaret had already recorded Naga’s performance in this battle and will use it for internal discussions within the military in the future.

Regardless of the role played by the empire, the Naga’s victorious army is quite similar to the empire’s mentality.

The little devil collected another bunch of curses, warning them not to use inappropriate language.

About twenty minutes later, the main camp of the Nagas could be seen in the distance. They finally noticed the approaching army from the Hai Kingdom and began to panic, making preparations.

It never occurred to them that the usually cowardly army of the Hai Kingdom would launch so many successive offensives.

It’s understandable for the valiant Fourth Prince Dao’er, but even the useless Crown Prince is now taking the initiative to fight?

Did the commanders of the Hai Kingdom take the wrong medication today?

At this moment, the commander of the Naga Legion is called Viscount Cromwell Summer Night, a towering six-armed Naga who stands over two meters tall when standing upright. His square face exudes a intimidating manner, and he is dressed in a tidy marshal’s uniform.

He is the most valiant and capable marshal of the Naga Empire’s military, renowned for his daring and adventurous spirit, and has deeply gained the trust of the Naga Queen.

He is personally in charge of the campaign to open the landing point this time.

With new equipment and the full support of the Holy Maiden, they have been winning their battles on the way. Now, the results they have achieved have gone to Cromwell’s head, and he only wants to quickly defeat these mermaids to prove himself as the Naga’s top marshal.

This time, the enemy abandoned the Black Shark Fortress and took the initiative to attack. Cromwell estimated they had found a way to restrain the Thunder Harvester before daring to come out to fight.

Although the enemy acted cowardly and kept making probing attacks, the cunning Cromwell perceived their pretense and decided to take advantage of it.

You’re just pretending, aren’t you? Then I’ll take the main force and eat up all the bait you offer, and see what you’re really up to.

Apart from the Pink Bunny Thunder Reaper, he indeed played his cards right by purchasing more new equipment from Tasika: one hundred ‘Swordfish’ submarines.

Making use of the Swordfish submarine formations and the war-beasts tamed by the Naga tribe, Cromwell’s army successfully deployed on the main battlefield ready to devour the troops sent by the 4th prince Dole.

However, it was completely unexpected that at this time, there would be a sea clan that dared to attack his central army.

Seeing the sea country’s imperial guards still charging on whales, Cromwell relaxed again.

Is it true that the mermaid prince is useless and didn’t even realize he was sold by his own younger brother?

He had already concluded that Shakil’s arrival at the front line was a result of an internal power struggle in the sea country.

“Prepare the magic crystal cannon and let us welcome his royal highness the prince, and let him know…Your Highness, times have changed!”

Excitedly waving his hand, Cromwell unleashed the first round of simultaneous shooting.
