The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"Marquis, I will ask you one last time...Are you sure you want to attack the capital of the Dusk Kingdom?"

"This is the best option to end the war in the south and free up a large portion of the Empire's military strength. Even if we have to fight a civil war afterwards, we can't let the Dusk people and the Cadian people get anything."

The traitor colluded with foreign countries just to completely destroy the empire.

Aarons wanted to cut off that man's connection with the external enemy, making him lose his greatest support... and then uproot him.

"...I understand. I won't persuade you again."

——But Jiangyue knew very well that this was a road of no return.

Flying from here to the capital of the Sunset Kingdom, even if all the cabins of the Prison Flower were filled with fuel, it would only be enough for a round trip.

But Aarons couldn't just fly there... He had to withstand the counterattack of the Twilight Army, attack the city under the enemy's firepower, and inflict huge losses on the Twilight People so that they had to withdraw from the front line.

Even though the Yumenhua had been modified to a considerable extent, the success rate of this operation was still less than 30%.

"But before you leave, please sign a contract with me."

"Contract? Is there such a need——"

Before Aarons could express his rebuttal, several golden threads suddenly flew out from Jiangyue's hand and accurately wrapped around his neck.

The burning suffocating feeling lasted only for a moment before quickly disappearing, and a bright purple-gold mark appeared on the back of Aarons' neck.

"It's already been done... This contract has no binding force and only contains one clause."

Then, Aarons heard a very calm tone, but the content made his heart suddenly tighten.

"——If you die, I will never live alone."

...Why do we have to go to such lengths?

There is nothing irreplaceable about me. Even if I really die, Jiang Yue will be able to find someone better quickly with her conditions.

But she signed such a contract with herself that made no sense at all...why?

"This is your value in our hearts. Others and I should have similar ideas."

“…This is not right.”

"There's nothing wrong with that. If you're still unwilling to face yourself, then take on our lives."

This is really too heavy... Aarons completely cannot understand what Jiang Yue is thinking.

However, before he could come up with a better reason, Mo Qianyun, who seemed to have been eavesdropping on their conversation outside the door, suddenly walked in.

"My Lord, I...have the same idea as Master."

Compared to Jiang Yue, Mo Qianyun's feelings are actually more illusory.

Most of her feelings for Aarons came from altered false memories - Aarons had never actually appeared in her life and had never helped her through any suffering.

But she treated these false memories as real experiences, not only accepting all the tampered parts, but also pouring extremely strong emotions into them.

If she had not yet completely adjusted her mindset, she might have already devoted everything she had to Aarons.

"If possible, please join me..."

"This time you are responsible for protecting me, so if we really have to die, we will die together."

Aarons certainly didn't go there to die, but he certainly hadn't figured out any way to ensure his survival.

But no matter what, he doesn't want others to regard his life as a burden.

"But..."

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Teacher Jiangyue, how long will it take to renovate and resupply the Yumenhua?"

Thanks to the installation of the mental control system specially debugged by Jiangyue, Aarons can now operate all the equipment on the warship by himself.

Although doing so would put him in a very heavy burden, he felt that this was better than asking others to sacrifice with him.

"The automatic loading machine for the artillery has been debugged. Now all the turrets do not need manual loading or operation... But if you really rely on mental power to fine-tune each artillery, your brain will probably burn out immediately."

"As long as it can fire, it'll be fine... Will the super array work?"

"Yes, but if the array is really activated, you must be at least thirty miles away from the battleship within three minutes."

Because the super array is likely to cause a psychic explosion, even at this distance, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.

"It's enough, just insurance."

"I have used all the materials to reinforce the outer armor, and the energy lines of the Magic Source Furnace have all been connected to the outer shell. Now, as long as the output of the Magic Source Furnace is overloaded, the protective barrier can be temporarily activated."

When docked in an airport, the warship relies on external psychic energy to activate the barrier. However, during combat, due to the very limited supply of psychic energy, the warship has no way of using this powerful protective ability.

But after all the weapons were replaced with carbon-uranium cannons, all the spiritual energy that was originally needed to supply the weapons could be transferred to the defense system.

"That's even more reassuring... Well, now that everything is alright, let's get ready to go."

"Master, please wait a moment. When I went outside just now, I received these things from many people."

Mo Qianyun first picked up a plain bag from behind, and then poured the contents directly onto the table - those were envelopes with only a signature on the outside, and there seemed to be something inside.

"There are 131 items in total... These are all suicide notes."

"……What does it mean?"

"You said before that those who intend to fight with you must write a suicide note first, so... so many people have already written it."

Don’t these guys know what it means to cherish life!

I said that at the time just to tell them that many people would probably die in this battle... and the best choice would be to stay here and not waste my precious life!

Why would these people do such stupid things?! Wouldn't it be better to be a little selfish?!

"Everyone has seen what you have done... Marquis, even so, you still cannot recognize your own value?"

"What a bunch of idiots! Tell them I won't allow--"

"No, you must take them with you! If you still intend to carry everything by yourself, I will destroy the magic source reactor of this ship immediately!"

Jiang Yue also resisted Aarons' stubbornness firmly.

After realizing that the sage was really angry this time, Aarons sat back in his seat with his face covered in frustration.

“…I can’t guarantee that they can come back alive.”

"They have already written their suicide notes. You should be able to understand their awareness."

"…They could have followed someone better, or spent their lives on something more valuable."

——But why make such a choice?

Aarons cannot yet come up with an answer to this question.
