The middle-aged officer glanced at Kochi with some dissatisfaction and said to Monica, "Your Majesty, the Han army is so terrible! We can't fight against them at all!

On the first day of the war, the Count personally led the shark team and other elite troops to fight back, trying to repel the enemy's army when it was not stable.

But..." When he said this, the middle-aged officer couldn't help swallowing and showed a look of fear, "But Lord Earl and the others encountered an elite enemy with huge long swords!

That battle was like a human being fighting a demon, full of despair!

The battle lasted only one meal, and the Sea Sharks were almost wiped out, and more than half of the other elites also lost. The Earl finally escaped back to the city and was almost cut off his right arm!..."

His voice echoed in the hall, and everyone else remained silent. Listening to his narrative, it seemed that he could feel the tragic battle, and everyone was in a very uneasy mood.

The middle-aged officer continued: "The enemy then launched a strong attack, and they used a cannon mounted on a carriage to continuously bombard the city walls.

Although we resist with all our might, the officers and soldiers are suffering from casualties, and the situation is very critical. We can't resist for a long time. If His Majesty cannot send troops to rescue in time, it won't be long before Venice will be the Han people."

Everyone present was shocked and could not speak. The middle-aged officer looked at Monica with a longing look on his face, hoping that she could give a positive answer.

However, Monica's situation is not much better than Venice, and she can't give her the answer she wants.

Monica thought for a moment and said to the middle-aged officer: "You go down and rest first, we have to discuss and decide whether to send troops!"

When the middle-aged officer heard this, he immediately became anxious and shouted: "If Venice falls, Rome will definitely not be able to save it. Your Majesty, you must send troops!"

Monica was very upset and said angrily: "I have already said it, and I still have to discuss this matter. Don't talk about it, go ahead."

Seeing this, the middle-aged officer felt extremely depressed, but he didn't dare to say anything more and turned around.

There was a silence in the hall, and Monica's eyes glanced at everyone present, hoping that someone could give her a good idea.

However, everyone avoided his gaze intentionally or unintentionally, and no one made any noise at all.

In fact, it’s no wonder that no one is willing to share her worries. As the situation has developed to this point, no one can do anything about it!

After the previous several major wars, Rome suffered heavy losses. Although the mobilized troops were very large, the real soldiers were only 100,000. This number of troops was insufficient to defend the city, let alone rescue Venice.

Monica looked at the many nobles and ministers in front of her, and suddenly felt lonely in her heart. She suddenly realized that although there were many people around her, no one could let her rely on.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao's figure involuntarily appeared in Monica's heart, making Monica's heart tremble.

After coming back to his senses, Monica quickly suppressed the bad sign and immediately restored the majesty of the queen.

He glanced at everyone and said, "Koqin stayed, everyone else retreated."

Everyone bowed to Monica and left the hall one after another. Many people were shaking their heads and sighing.

Monica stood up, walked to Kochi, and asked with hope, "Have the three dukes of Iberia replied?"

It turned out that not long ago, Monica sent a letter to the three major dukes of Iberia through Cochin, hoping to ask them to mobilize all their troops to aid Rome, so Monica had this question at this moment.

Kochin showed an uneasy expression and said, "I just received a reply. The three dukes said that there was a rebellion in their territory and that now they can't send troops at all. And..."

Monica frowned and asked, "And what?"

Kochin dared not hide it and said, "The Duke of Madrid also issued an order to me to lead the Iberian army back to Iberia immediately!"

Strictly speaking, this Kochi is not a general under Monica's command, but a general under the Duke of Madrid.

On that day, Monica received support from the three major dukes of Iberia and became the queen. It was also from that time that Kochi was sent to Monica.

Monica couldn't help but be extremely angry when she heard Kochin's words, but she couldn't do anything at this moment and asked coldly: "Does the three major dukes of Iberia want to see Rome occupied by the Han people?"

Kochin didn't say anything, he didn't know what to say.

Monica glanced at Cochin and said coldly: "You go down."

Kochin looked at Monica and wanted to say something, but finally didn't say it, bowed to Monica and left the hall.

Monica stood in the middle of the empty hall and felt an unprecedented loneliness. Then she showed a glimmer of glory and murmured: "I haven't lost yet. As long as the barbarian army comes, I can still turn defeat into victory!"

The barbarian coalition may now be Monica's biggest reliance.

A day later, the bad news suddenly came, and the Earl of Venice surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

This was absolutely shocking news for all Romans. Even the Earl of Venice surrendered. Is there still hope for Rome?

The city of Rome was bleak and panic. Many people felt that Rome had no hope, so they dragged their families to the city gate, hoping to escape from the city before the Han army launched a large-scale attack on Rome.

Prince Robert hurried to the hall and said to Monica urgently: "Your Majesty, many people want to escape from the city. The situation is already extremely critical now! We must think of a way!"

Monica glanced at Robert and asked coldly: "What do you think we should do?"

Robert was stunned and hesitated and couldn't speak.

Monica said coldly: "We are not defeated yet! As long as the barbarian coalition comes, we will be able to turn defeat into victory! Send troops immediately and ask everyone to go home. If you don't obey, give it to me!"

Robert was startled and wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Monica's crazy expression, he couldn't help swallowing the words he said. He responded and ran down.

At this time, Kochi, dressed in military uniform, came in from outside, looked at Monica, with a very complicated expression, and then said, "Your Majesty!"

Monica glanced at him and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Ke Qin nodded and said with a difficult expression: "The Duke ordered, I cannot disobey!"
