Can't I develop my own character?

Chapter 91 Ryan and Ina van game, Southern Territory Brawl [Seven Thousand]

The city of Berman spent the day in a tense atmosphere.

The courtroom was a river of blood, which was just like a commoner running to the doorstep of his noble grandfather to take a shit, and it was a loud shit. How could one not be angry?

Everyone could imagine that the imperial capital would react quickly, and might even brand the city of Berman as a "traitor."

But even so, no one in the entire city thought of carrying the train and running away overnight.

This is not only because Ryan governed Berman City well, but also because Berman City is located in the border area, where the emperor is far away and the people have no sense of belonging to the empire.

Instead, the Inquisition acts like a dog to the nobles every day, exploiting them. Now that it's blown up, even better. After all, can't the Administrative Office handle any problems? Even if they do, right or wrong, most cases don't require a judgment; they can handle it themselves.

Having said that, there is definitely concern. If the empire really sends troops to suppress it, the nature of the situation will change.

Fortunately, a day later, things did not seem as serious as they had expected. Even Kasradi did not expect that the Tribunal was overturned, but there was no sound from the imperial capital?

Apart from a few nobles' public accusations, the old father remained silent on the matter and stopped the Imperial Capital Tribunal from sending people to investigate. He then defined the matter as an infiltration of the Berman City Tribunal by pagans. Viscount 'Charlie' discovered Ni Duan and sent troops to suppress him, and accidentally killed Marcus during the battle.

But according to the investigation, Marcus is the biggest cult leader.

Not only that, the old emperor also defined the events of Silver Edge City, saying that this was a rampant action by the pagans of the Dark Hand and a provocation to the majesty of the empire. He would order a nationwide crackdown on the forces of the Dark Hand and asked the people of the Janus Gate to act together.

This time, Casradi was completely confused.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this was the old emperor's fatherly love or a conspiracy.

Ryan didn't care about all that. He knew that the old emperor was finally going to work, and he also knew that this old guy would definitely rebel and get rid of him after all the problems were resolved.

That's why the old emperor would not give him a noble title.

Because I dare not.

If she had the title of princess and a noble title, Ryan could really sit firmly on the position of overlord of the South.

But if only the princess supports him now, and the princess is transferred away later, then wouldn’t the old emperor have the final say on Ryan’s status?

As for loyalty, there is certainly none.

Ryan knew that the reason why the old emperor dared to do this was, on the one hand, because he was used to being superior from the emperor's perspective, and on the other hand, because his identity was still in the hands of the old emperor. Once it was made public and Casradi knew that he had been betrayed, everything Ryan had now would be in vain.

Otherwise, why would the old emperor say that neither Maganna nor Casradi could bring glory to Ryan?

pity.

This old guy would never have thought that Ryan had a third wife.

With the identity of "Weinei", as long as the momentum is good and the old emperor's reputation is ruined, she can find a suitable time to reveal her royal identity. There is no need to worry about no one following her.

This is also the reason why Ryan recommended "Vine" to Maganna early on. He had to build up her reputation first.

This is to take advantage of Maganna, but... Grand Duke, tell me whether I am loyal or not? Although I have taken advantage of you, I still have you in my heart!

Here.

After waiting for a day to settle down, Ryan began to let "Xia Li" lead the army to close the net.

Since the old emperor has said so, why should I be polite?

For unowned territories, unless the old emperor personally intervenes, imperial agencies will generally take over their management and incorporate them into the imperial public territory, awaiting the next distribution.

The distribution method is very simple, either by the grace of the old emperor or by purchasing the title.

The buyers are usually local nobles, but because the price is relatively high, it will take a few days or even a period of time before a new lord appears.

So Ryan had to hurry up, he had to send out a signal as soon as possible - he wanted these territories!

Oh no, he asked for these territories on behalf of the princess and just kept them for her. As for who he would give them to in the future...we'll decide when the time comes.

"Let me see..."

Inside the office.

Ryan stared at the game screen in front of him.

'Xia Li' has led his troops north and crossed the border of Berman City. According to his plan, those who had previously signed blood pacts will draw some soldiers from their respective territories to form a southern alliance army.

The nominal ownership of this army belongs to Casradi, which means that they will announce to the outside world that Her Royal Highness the Princess has officially joined the battle!

What battle?

Of course it’s the Crown Prince War.

"Huh? Wei Nei has quietly developed an army of 10,000 people."

In the picture, 'Vine' is recruiting soldiers. Due to the professional characteristics of the soul singer, the promoted officers are 100% loyal to her and are also talented people with considerable abilities.

Under such circumstances, there was basically no dissenting voice from top to bottom in the entire Kells territory.

So, why does 'Weinei' have the potential to be king? Her professional characteristics are right here!

Charging into battle is the job of a general, while the king commands from the rear and appoints the generals.

No matter how bravely he fights, isn't he still just a soldier?

Wei Nei: Did you hear that, Xiao Xia?

At this time, 'Weine' led 10,000 people to attack, and she personally took charge. Success or failure depended on this wave.

To the east of the territory of Kells are Domanir and Mist. The lords of these two territories have been defeated, so it is not difficult for "Weine" to capture them.

Ryan's plan was for her to go east, while the allied forces led by 'Charlie' would go north, and then the two armies would meet in the territory of Earl Lanster. The Earl's territory was large, and the forces within it were also complex, so the resistance would definitely be the strongest.

After arranging the attack mission, Ryan switched to the character interface of 'Lin Qi'.

"I haven't seen my wife in a long time."

I have been quite busy these days, so I have been letting Lin Qi hang up. Last time, my wife was in the Western Territory to deal with the blood sacrifice. Now that the matter is settled, she is ready to return to Janus headquarters.

"Ok?"

In the game interface.

'Lin Qi' is not in the city of Cherde, but in a crack in the other world.

Ryan looked through the idle records and found that this was a place that Lin Qi had found before. With her intuition as a quiet sister, she found that the situation here was a little special, so she came here after the blood sacrifice.

"The chaotic power here does not belong to Doclodes alone, but is the product of a mixture of many different powers."

"This is a truly chaotic space. Strange, why are there no demons?"

Lin Qi's psychological monologue pops up on the screen.

Ryan was a bit...pstd about this monologue. Who could understand how he felt the night before? It was a double orgasm, both mentally and physically!

"Isn't this a chaotic space?"

Ryan remembered this place, or rather this kind of place. The chaotic space was a kind of "secret realm" in "Empress Online". Random maps appeared, and entering would lead to random places. Generally speaking, good things would happen there.

For example, you might find a hidden profession, pick up a rare artifact, or rescue a character. In short, anything can happen.

Yes, even characters.

According to the official information provided by the game, until Ryan traveled through time, no boss had collected all the female characters. The reason is that some of the female characters were rescued from the chaotic space.

However, the probability of this happening is very small, and Ryan is not interested. No woman is as beautiful as his wife. Instead, he is thinking about whether he can get a special weapon for the Sister of Silence for his wife. Let's not talk about a special weapon, but an upgraded one, epic or legendary. I don't want to think about mythical ones.

Otherwise, it would not be good to use the Sword of Death all the time. If the Grand Duke finds out again one day, I will never be able to clear my name.

"Oh~ here it comes."

'Lin Qi' walked for nearly half an hour and saw a gray vortex-like thing. Ryan knew that this thing was the entrance to the 'secret realm'.

"I don't know what it will be, but I don't need a naked pretty girl, so anything good will do."

While thinking, Lin Qi stepped into the vortex.

You discovered an old battlefield.

Ancient memories are deposited in the shattered space. Here, time seems to have come to a standstill. The chaotic disorder has nearly made you lose yourself. You piously call out, "Janus, please grant me a beacon of light on my lost path."

"Huh? What the hell?"

Ryan found that the space around Lin Qi was gray, there was no road, and he didn't know where to go.

This was the first time he had seen such a situation.

【The voice of Janus is blocked out from the old days.】

You can only follow your heart and move forward. Gradually, all kinds of sounds are heard from this chaotic space.

'O Barshat of the gods, have you heard our call?'

"Ahem~ The erosion of the power from the outside world is becoming more and more serious."

'Janus, what are you doing!'

"Time and space will protect it. Leave it here. One day, Barshat will return."

'...'

Ryan saw blurry images flashing by amidst the sounds.

Each sound has a picture, but it is too fast and the information is too messy to understand.

After a long while, these fragmented images completely disappeared.

[You were drawn into the vortex of time and space, but with the blessing of Janus, you are safe and sound.]

Swish!

The view finally cleared up.

However, it was spread out.

Ryan discovered that Lin Qi had returned to the outside of the gray vortex.

"What's going on?"

Ryan couldn't understand this either. After all, he had only encountered a secret realm once in the game.

"It's Barshat again. I met him last time in the Miracle of Janus."

Ryan touched his chin. He felt that it might be necessary to go to this place...but it seemed a little risky. Lin Qi was protected because of Janus' profession. What if he couldn't get out after going in?

"Is this 'it' the same thing as that fragment?"

After much thought, Ryan decided to find an opportunity to go over and take a look. After all, the Janus Gate headquarters might not be safer than here.

Since the secret realm itself shouldn't be dangerous... maybe we could get more people to try it out? If they just can't get in, then there's nothing to worry about.

"Huh~ so comfortable."

Let 'Lin Qi' continue to hang up, and Ryan leaned on the sofa to rest.

The trumpets are all working hard outside, and he just needs to lie down. This kind of life is simply wonderful.

"Have a cup of tea."

At this time, 'Ina' walked in with a cup of black tea in her hand.

"Put it there." Ryan gestured for Ina to put it on the desk. "Ina, do you think this trip north will go smoothly?"

After saying that, he muttered twice: "The Emperor must support it. He needs me to control the southern border, and he also needs 'war'."

"However, if the Emperor acquiesces, then the Second and Fourth Princes will not give up. The Fourth Prince has no power in the army, so there's no need to worry too much. The Second Prince's Red Tiger Guards can enter the southern border if they move south, so he needs to be most wary."

Ina tilted her head slightly, looking like, "You've said it, so what should I say?"

Ryan raised his head and saw Ina standing beside him. Looking up from below, the pair of mountains pressing down in front of him gave him a great sense of oppression.

Come to think of it, Ina's is indeed bigger than Shirley's.

"..."

"..."

"Yina, please close the door. I want to talk to you about something serious."

"Serious matters?"

Ryan coughed lightly: "Close the door first."

'Ina' closed the door.

"Come sit on my lap."
