Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?

Chapter 54: Interlude VI


Under Sir Joel's leadership, Eleanor walked towards the siege battlefield.

With the arrival of the Princess, the Empire Knights around, dressed in white cloaks with black crosses, uniformly kneeled on one knee, placing their right fists on their left chests to show respect.

According to the previous Empire military etiquette, the Blade Warriors could only stand up after the officer walked past.

However, Eleanor disliked this kind of formalities, so everyone just kneeled on one knee, tapped their left breastplate, then swiftly stood up and loudly shouted the Knight Order's slogan:

"Helfen! Heilen! Wehren!!!"

Eleanor liked this phrase very much, meaning "We assist, we heal, we defend," so much so that almost every knight in the team would greet her and then shout the slogan upon seeing her.

With the orderly kneels of the knight formation and the loud wave of sound, the Hussite defenders on the walls of Prague also quickly noticed the changes on the opposite side.

Damn, here comes the dawn light of the Empire.

Even as a native split force opposing the tyranny of the Divine Luo Empire, the Hussites had to admit that Princess Sofie was indeed a knight model, a moral exemplar... but of course, immediately surrendering was out of the question.

The cause of this incident was the former Duke governing the Duchy of Bohemia who arrested several Hussite heretics preaching.

Sir Joel pointed to the opposite wall, explaining in detail to Eleanor, "At that time, a priest who believed in the Hussites took the Holy Grail from the church and organized many Hussite members for a protest march, hoping the Duke would release the evangelists."

"They surrounded the city council hall in protest. Then an angry councilor threw stones down from upstairs, accidentally hitting the priest's Holy Grail, causing the Hussite crowd to be enraged, breaking into the city council hall and throwing all councilors out of the windows to their deaths."

"This sparked large-scale riots. Besides the Royal City of Prague, Hussite uprisings occurred in other places as well, driving away or killing local Lords or church officials, plunging the entire Duchy of Bohemia into turmoil."

"What about the Duke?" Eleanor's eyes were fierce, knowing that suppressing the revolt was easy, but post-suppression governance was the hard part — she needed to communicate well with the Duke of Bohemia ruling this territory on how to deal with his many Hussite believers, as violence wouldn't solve the problem once and for all.

"Ahem." Sir Joel was a bit embarrassed, "Duke Wenceslas was hunting outside when he heard the news of his Royal City's fall, and he immediately died of a stroke."

Eleanor: ...

"But his brother and heir, Sigismund, is on his way from the East to the Duchy of Bohemia." Sir Joel added, "The Hussites dislike him very much because he presided over the execution by fire of the priest Jan Huss, so the sentiments in Prague are excited, seemingly determined to resist to the end."

"Understood." Eleanor nodded, "Need to capture Prague before he arrives. What about Alfred?"

"Alfred has already disguised and infiltrated Prague." Sir Joel said.

"Good, launch the attack in ten minutes." Eleanor nodded and said.

On the fifth day back, the underground base near City H.

The plan to travel to the Otherworld is still in tight progress, currently all staff in the base are on three shifts, extremely busy.

Only Aske is idle, spending time chatting with a few big shots from City B.

Of course, it should count as a visit, since those big shots who appear in the news wouldn't really take time to come over just to chat with you.

Frankly speaking, they were just here to verify your character, Aske.

Although being hit by God's dice is a completely uncontrollable small probability event, one should be thankful if anyone gets hit. But what if the chosen one is a tower-rushing fanatic, a remnant, a middle-school shut-in and so forth, everyone would have headaches.

Fortunately, after the exchange, the big shots had a very good impression of Aske, and both hosts and guests were cordial.

The most satisfying point is that this one is truly a filial child, not the kind to recognize oneself as an orphan as soon as transmigrated to the Otherworld.

Meaning, as long as they take good care of his mother, they needn't worry about him defecting in the Otherworld... although discussing defection is hurtful, but people at their level would never grant trust out of nowhere.

Regarding today's first teleportation test, the results can be described as neither good nor bad:

Firstly, according to parameter displays, teleportation should have been successful.

Secondly, there's no way to verify it except through mathematics.

This thing is quite frustrating. For example, I built an airplane, never flown it, but calculated through various parameters to prove it can fly, now would you dare to ride it?

The most ideal result, of course, is teleportation there and back again, with the data inside the returned object proving it truly went to that world, so that everyone could be at ease.

The first thing sent over was a Mars landing rover, however, according to instrument parameters, the rover was successfully teleported over, only to immediately experience particle point loss, with the device unable to capture its position.

Meaning, could there have been deformation during teleportation causing the teleported object to be destroyed?

Thus, with leadership approval, the second rover, loaded with camera equipment, was placed in the device's center.

Power supply started, City H prepared for power shutdown.

... ...

On Mont Blanc's peak, the Bronze Dragon lazily basked in the sun, blowing the cold wind mixed with snowflakes, lazily yawning.

As a Demigod Level Extraordinary Creature, it could draw survival energy from the planet's Magic Tide, so most of the time it loved staying still, dazing around to resist the potential erosion of its Sanity by the Law.

After a while, another thing materialized from the void, dropped onto the snow.

The Bronze Dragon boredly slapped it flat with its tail, then pawed it over to take a look.

Again, it's something bizarre from the Church Court with a rich Otherworldly aura—exactly like a few months ago.

After a few minutes, the Bronze Dragon gave up studying it, tossing it onto the snow beside.

Back on Earth, everyone looked at the feedback info on the screen, the atmosphere suddenly tense.

Particles lost again, unable to teleport back.

There must be issues here!

So, after a brief accident review meeting, the project team decided to call back all resting personnel, to conduct a full review and check of all drawings and principles.

"Is it necessary to be so urgent?" Aske asked Mao Zhongwei beside him.

Although he himself indeed wanted to return, especially after knowing a day here equaled a year there, yet for the project team's urgent advancement, he was a bit puzzled.

"There are two issues here." Mao Zhongwei raised two fingers, "First, the need for international circumstances."

"Do you think your appearance can be kept secret from outside forever? Once your existence is exposed, there will undoubtedly be international pressure, so we must quickly get you back, then swiftly exploit the time window of technological explosion."

"Second, the interdimensional quantum issue within your body."

"The human body constantly undergoes metabolism, and yours is no exception. The longer you stay here, the more interdimensional quantum in your body dissipates. Unless we keep you in a gravitational well quantum capture machine 24/7, this process is unavoidable."

"Therefore, while your sample can still function, quicken the final step of the project advancement, if any issue arises, it can be pinpointed and solved."

"I see." Aske pondered, "I thought you were worried about me staying too long here, growing distant from the team over there."

Mao Zhongwei: ...

Indeed, part of the concern is exactly that, if you figured that out, keep it to yourself, can you not say it out loud?

After all, speaking out about helping someone maintain harems, it's really quite embarrassing for us!
