Chapter 199: The Sindhi Lady

Chapter 199: The Sindhi Lady

This fellow!

Cold sweat dripped from Weryomahners’ forehead.

Gopala wasn’t just planning to send a platoon over as a token of goodwill.

No, if she was going to lead an army over personally, it went without saying that her army would be huge.

Gopala wouldn’t bring her army into the Tibetan Plateau.

Her soldiers would struggle to adapt to the high-altitude conditions, and the Tibetan Empire wouldn’t welcome them either, even if the Tangs were already knocking on their capital. That would be as good as bringing a wolf into one’s house.

So, Gopala was after something else.

Bordering Sindhu’s northwest was Khorasan.

Gopala was taking advantage of this chaos to expand her influence while the Tibetan Empire had its hands full dealing with the Tangs.

Weryomahners had to admit that Gopala was an ambitious and competent leader who knew how to capitalize on opportunities.

She had heard rumors that Transoxania had fallen to the Tangs, and Khorasan could be next. There would be a showdown between the Abbasids and the Tangs to determine who was the dominant force in Central Asia.

No matter who won, both sides were bound to suffer considerable casualties. There was no better time than now to strike.

Weryomahners could almost hear the calculations clicking in Gopala’s mind.

The only problem was that the Tangs didn’t conform to common sense.

So, Weryomahners tried to dissuade Gopala, “Your Majesty, I am grateful for your concern for the Tibetan Empire, but the strength of the Tang army surpasses your imagination.”

She was not looking down on Gopala, but the latter’s soldiers were lacking even compared to the Tibetan Empire, let alone the Tangs.

Do you think that you’re taking advantage of the situation? No, you’re just feeding the enemy.

To make things worse, Sindhu’s population was highly concentrated, making them perfect fodder for the Tangs. If Sindhu fell into the Tangs’ hands too, they would all be doomed!

Determined to stop Gopala, Weryomahners shared what she had seen in Transoxania with elaborate detail. Of course, she shrugged off the dumb maneuvers she had made and focused on the strength of Shu Yichao and the undead army.

She highlighted the high shaman and the Holywolf Warrior’s demise and exaggerated recent rumors about the gigantified terracotta warriors to intimidate Gopala.

I hope that things go down the way Gopala envisioned, or else...

Weryomahners shuddered.

【My host, I see that everything is going well.】

System 12345 nodded in satisfaction.

【Weryomahners’ fear of you is steadily rising, and even Tsenpo Ling is beginning to fear you. My host, you must be an expert pick-up artist to conquer your targets remotely. How fearsome!】

Before this internship, it would have never thought there was such a way to conquer its targets, but again, there were no rules against it. The important thing was that it worked.

【Let me see... My host, you can start tackling the hidden capture targets now.】

System 12345 mused.

We’re almost done dealing with the normal capture targets, so we might as well target the hidden capture targets. That should raise my internship score!

【Ba bam ba bam!】

System 12345 brought out a portrait revealing an adorable Sindhi lady.

【The young Sindhi empress! As for why there is a female ruler in a place like that... my host, let’s not fuss over background details... Eh?!?!】

It suddenly realized a major issue.

【Gasp... My host, have I ever introduced the worldview or storyline to you?】

It racked its brain and arrived at a devastating answer.

Not at all.

It was planning to do so, but seeing its host overcoming every obstacle in his way left it so excited that it forgot all about it.

【Er... Let me fill you up on the blanks now, all right?】

System 12345 murmured sheepishly.
