Loser System and Berserker Me

Chapter 204: So You Are the Culprit!

“Hu!”

Shu Yichao leaped off the white lion’s back, and a gigantified terracotta warrior deferentially received him with both hands. Just like that, they surveyed the surrendered war elephants.

The gigantified terracotta warrior started marching forward, with each step sending quakes through the earth. The war elephants shuddered.

Violent? Savage? Vicious?

None of the war elephants’ usual traits were anywhere to be seen. They bowed with utmost respect to the gigantified terracotta warriors, with some showing what resembled a fawning smile.

Soon, Shu Yichao came face to face with an awkward, smiling face.

“Ahahaha…” Gopala scratched her head before greeting Shu Yichao with a strained smile. “Erm, it’s great to meet you, Anxi Protectorate-General!”

She was still riding on her armored war elephant, just that it was refusing to budge no matter how she berated it.

The armored war elephant knew that the gigantified terracotta warriors had encircled them, so there was no way for them to escape anymore. The only way for it to survive this ordeal was to surrender, so it chose to ignore the fool riding on its back.

“…”

Despite knowing that Shu Yichao was the enemy, Gopala’s heart shamefully skipped a beat when she met eyes with him, so…

“What a lovely encounter, isn’t it?” she remarked with a smile.

Calm down, calm down.

I mustn’t panic at a time like this.

Gopala cheered herself on in a desperate attempt to rein in her fear.

I’m the ruler of the Pala Empire. He stands to benefit more from capturing me than killing me.

As long as I put on the airs of a ruler, I should be treated with respect. Once we establish our positions, we can slowly negotiate a settlement, whether it’s to forfeit some land or pay a hefty sum. I can consider it even if he demands my body…

So, Gopala put on the appearance of a coy lady, hoping that it would stoke his compassion.

And Shu Yichao stared intently at her.

Heh, it worked! My charms aren’t just for show. Even powerful generals like the Anxi Protectorate-General succumb to my beauty!

Delighted, Gopala coyly called out, “Lord Protectorate-General, you were too violent just now. You nearly hurt me…”

Little did Gopala know that Shu Yichao was staring at her not because she was beautiful but because…

“Why is the rider red when the mount is white?”

For mounted units, the rider and the mount were usually taken as a single entity, but this…

Does this mean that the rider and the mount have parted ways? Or is this another bug?

With this thought in mind, Shu Yichao flicked his metal whip at Gopala.

Whatever. I’ll just give it a try.

“!!!” Gopala widened her eyes.

What’s going on? Didn’t I charm the Anxi Protectorate-General? Why did he suddenly change his attitude?

Did I make a mistake? Is he not into coy women?

Gopala tried to switch to another trope, but it was too late.

Bzt!

Ferocious lightning mixed with little metal bits struck Gopala’s face, crushing her skull.

Pah!

A corpse fell from the armored war elephant.

“It is a bug. It suddenly turned green.”

【Amazing, my host! I was finding more information but you have already conquered her!】

System 12345 offered a compliment. It glanced at the data, and its CPU twitched a little.

【My host, this… Why are your interests so peculiar?】

Gopala had already fallen hard for its host, to the point where she might have ‘reluctantly’ given in if its host had outright demanded her to sleep with him.

Yet, its host still followed his modus operandi, instilling fear in Gopala and ravaging her until she passed out before finally taking her in.

【Though this is a riveting scenario too. The cheery, optimistic lady meets a dashing man, not knowing that beneath his gentle appearance lies a feral beast. Her love slowly blossoms, only to find the man bringing out his big, black… Guhuhuhuhu!】

【Just like that, her body and heart were stolen from her, all because of a small misjudgment. As the seeds of lust rain on her face, who knows whether she regretted her past decision…】

【Ah! That’s getting me all pumped up! Guehuehue!】

…

“What’s going on?!”

Tsenpo Ling was shocked when a Tibetan messenger stationed in Sindhu delivered a shocking piece of news to her.

The entire Sindhu was dyed red in Shu Yichao’s minimap, due to its high population density, making it difficult to weed out Tibetan spies as swiftly as in the Western Regions. On top of that, the Tibetan Empire had many spies stationed throughout Sindhu.

Thus, some Tibetan spies managed to escape and bring the latest update to Tsenpo Ling.

Unfortunately, it was terrible news.

“The Tang army has killed Gopala, together with her war elephants and her army of 30,000 troops? And the Tangs are sweeping through Sindhu, already occupying huge swathes of the northern region?”

Tsenpo Ling couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

It had only been a year since the deceased Anxi souls returned to the world.

But within this short time, the Tibetan Empire had lost important strategic locations like the Western Regions, Great and Little Patola, and the Pamir Mountains, and its vassals like the Karluks were slowly being eradicated…

The situation was the worst. The Tibetan Empire was now surrounded by enemies!

It was just a year ago that she was preparing to eradicate the Tang bandits for good.

A year had passed since, but she no longer knew who was going to eradicate who.

“All those useless fools! Why are they all dragging me down?!”

Tsenpo Ling clawed at her head, unable to understand how things turned out like that. How could the situation take a turn for the worse so fast?

Just then, something that the spy said caught her attention.

“Wait. Did you just say that Weryomahners is alive?”

“Yes, Lord Weryomahners is alive,” the spy replied fearfully with a lowered head.

“Are you certain?”

Tsenpo Ling was convinced that Weryomahners’ flesh, blood, and soul had been devoured by the Tangs’ undead a long time ago, so why did the latter suddenly pop out at this juncture?

“Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes. There’s no mistaking it,” the spy reported. “Furthermore…”

The spy hesitantly continued, “Lord Weryomahners appeared to be persuading Gopala to clash with the Tangs, and I heard that she had traveled down south from Transoxania to Sindhu…”
