Chapter 1614: Is It a Beauty Trap?

At this time, Europe.

Ling Chen and Frederick II, after a brief clash with Douglas in Hanover.

Although Ling Chen and Frederick II achieved a short-lived victory.

However, there was not much relief on their faces.

This was only a brief and minor victory, merely defeating the Cavalry of the Holy Cross Army.

The Holy Cross Army that Douglas brought this time still had a massive number of troops, and even more complex unit types.

Before supplies are replenished, the situation on the battlefield will not change because of the victory in this one battle.

Ling Chen and Frederick were in the temporary command room.

They drew the map of Hanover and marked the positions of the Holy Cross Army on it.

Ling Chen looked at the current position of Douglas.

In his current position, the Longyan army does not dare to take the initiative to attack; as long as the Longyan army takes the initiative to attack, their defensive line will reveal flaws.

Once a flaw appears, Douglas will definitely launch an attack, and at that time, the Longyan army will be unable to resist.

Now, one must absolutely not advance rashly.

And what is worse is that the battlefield between Britain and Sweden is actually performing very poorly.

The naval forces of Britain are very formidable, but the army is performing terribly; when Ling Chen saw the British battle report, he was even exceptionally dumbfounded.

Is this still the British army he knows?

The British troops of the so-called "Empire on which the sun never sets" actually have two extremes in their war situation.

When the British Navy was fighting against the Swedish Army, it won against the Swedish Navy in an almost crushing manner.

But regarding the British Army, it is the exact opposite; the Swedish Army is actually beating the British Army black and blue.

Facing such a war situation, Ling Chen has nothing to say.

In the end, Ling Chen could only sigh.

However, fortunately, although the war situation between the British Army and the Swedish Army is intense, it has not yet reached the point of collapse.

The Swedish Army will not be able to fight its way over for a while.

"General Ling Chen, I also know a thing or two about this man Douglas; he is just a lecherous pig," Frederick II cursed.

"However, this guy indeed has extraordinary talent in military affairs."

Ling Chen was stunned, thought of something, looked at Frederick II, and asked, "What did you just say?"

Frederick II was stunned by the question: "This guy has extraordinary talent in military affairs?"

Ling Chen shook his head: "No, the other sentence."

"This guy is a lecherous..." Having said this, Frederick II suddenly realized.

He looked at Ling Chen, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Are you planning to use the Beauty Trap?"

Ling Chen nodded.

"Yes, that's right. Our current situation is too dangerous; using a stratagem is a good choice."

Frederick II thought for a moment: "Now, this is the only way."

"I hope he can fall for it," Frederick II muttered.

Frederick II immediately set about preparing; just as he left the tent, he suddenly bumped into a hot and beautiful figure.

He was stunned for a moment, feeling that his problem had been solved easily.

"Miss, please stop," Frederick II called out to her.

The other party turned her head to look at Frederick II, frowned, and asked, "What is the matter?"

Marie had never seen this man who looked like a German in the Longyan army.

In the Longyan army, almost everyone is Longyan, and only a very small portion are others.

She had seen them all, and not one man was the German before her.

Frederick II looked at her cheeks; a tear mole adorned the corner of her innocent eyes, adding much charm.

At the first sight of her, Frederick II felt that he had found the woman suitable

to serve as the Beauty Trap.

However, this person appeared in the camp of the Longyan army.

This candidate still needs to be discussed with Ling Chen.

"Please come with me," without waiting for Marie to refuse, Frederick II grabbed Marie's hand and walked away.

Marie struggled a bit, but could not break free from Frederick II's large hand at all.

"Let go, this is the Longyan army; what are you trying to do to me?"

"Taking you to see Ling Chen," Frederick II replied directly.

Hearing that it was to see Ling Chen, Marie did not struggle anymore.

Ling Chen saved her life, and she had not yet had the chance to repay him.

Soon, the two arrived at Ling Chen's tent.

Seeing Frederick II return and bring a woman with him, Ling Chen was stunned; he bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, did you find a suitable candidate so quickly?"

Frederick II nodded: "However, this woman is one of your people, so I must ask for your opinion."

Ling Chen glanced at the woman, and it took five or six seconds before he remembered who this woman was.

"She is not a member of our Longyan army; she is a woman I saved during an operation. Her village was destroyed by bandits."

"I saw she had nowhere to go, so I let her stay in the Longyan army."

"For this matter, you must ask her, not me."

Marie looked at Ling Chen and said, "As long as it is a task ordered by the General, I can do it, even if you ask me to warm your bed."

Hearing these words, Ling Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

He could never forget that last time, it was because of this woman that Diana had not come to speak with him for several days.

"Alright, I don't care what you want to do, but in the future, do not mention such things in front of me!"

Ling Chen refused her directly with sharp words.

Marie, however, put on a pitiful appearance, leaving Ling Chen with a forehead full of black lines.

Looking at Marie, he did not say another word.

Frederick II did not pay any mind to Ling Chen; after learning the ins and outs of this woman's story, he felt even more strongly in his heart that she was the best candidate he had been looking for.

Frederick II looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Respected young lady, no one can demand that you do anything, not even I, as the King of Prussia, have the right."

Marie looked at Frederick II, and the smile that had filled her face suddenly stiffened.

He was actually the King of Prussia.

Marie could not believe it.

After expressing his apologies, Frederick II continued, "But now our country is facing an unprecedented crisis, and we need you to do something, yet it is exceptionally dangerous and could even cost you your chastity or your life."

"I respect your choice," Frederick II said in a deep voice.

Ling Chen turned his head to glance at Marie, but the moment Marie made eye contact with him, Ling Chen instantly looked away.

Marie appeared unusually calm; she withdrew her gaze and looked at Frederick II, this hero in the hearts of the Prussian people.

Flames of hatred gradually flickered in her eyes.

"I have already been defiled by hateful bandits."

"Behind those bandits are the hateful French."

"Those French harmed my village and my family; if I can avenge my family, I am very willing to serve."
