Can't I develop my own character?
Page 154
Ryan, who was still in the distant Kingdom of Lot, was watching this war through the game.
The train has arrived at Silvermoon City, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Lot. When Amabena got off the train yesterday afternoon, the entire royal city cheered enthusiastically for her return.
A thousand Holy Blood soldiers blocked the train station and cleared an absolutely safe road from the station to the castle. Amabena never thought that one day she would actually be able to enjoy the "treatment of a king". She looked at both sides of the road from the carriage and saw the cheers of the people of the royal city.
Amabena almost fainted from happiness.
Then the first thing Amabena did after returning was to gather all the troops in the royal city according to Ryan's arrangement, and to carry out a liquidation of the nobles who defected to Frank without any room for negotiation.
This was a bloody massacre.
By this morning, no one in the entire royal city dared to question Amabena.
The next task was to rebuild the royal city's army. As for the local lords, they could only be punished, not destroyed, for now. They all harbored rebellious tendencies. Although Frank's demise dealt a heavy blow to everyone, a large-scale liquidation would trigger a desperate counterattack from those lords. Once they united, they would become a villainous force no less powerful than Frank's.
More importantly, the scope is too large. The Holy Blood Legion has only 4,000 people, and they can't handle it even if they run themselves to death.
So we punish and suppress them first, and then settle accounts one by one after the situation stabilizes and we have greater armed support.
Most of those nobles were hoping for the best, thinking that as long as Amabena did not give the final order, at least they would not rebel immediately on the surface.
Ryan specially transferred Anjia over and let her be responsible for the management of Silvermoon City temporarily. He also promoted her two levels, from Viscount to Marquis.
There are too few talented people, and the number of loyal ministers can be counted on one hand. Therefore, talents like Anjia must be kept by the side and used ruthlessly and exploited until she foams at the mouth and can no longer work.
At this time, Amabena was giving a gorgeous speech. She needed to personally gather the hearts and minds of the people after her return. 'Charlie' led the Holy Blood Legion to temporarily take over the security of the royal city. Ryan left the mode of taking care of his father and children and focused his attention on the imperial capital, Barron.
Through the perspective of 'Vene', you can see the terrible battle breaking out in the castle in the distance. Judging from the hard power, the Grand Duke is indeed far superior to Casradi, but he was still killed in the game. It can only be said that the protagonist group is indeed invincible.
Of course, this also had something to do with the Grand Duke's straightforward nature. Asking her to curry favor with the people at Janus' Gate would be impossible. The Grand Duke only treated his subordinates well. As for others? Cooperation was fine, but asking her to run sales operations was out of the question!
While thinking, Ryan asked 'Weine' to release the puppet that he had treasured for a long time.
These puppets were passed from him to 'Xia Li', who had used only a small part of them in the battle in the southern border at that time. Now they were passed to 'Wei Nei'. Once the army of thousands of puppets appeared, they immediately became the largest force dominating the battlefield.
Only a small part of the 30,000 imperial troops near the city gate entered. They could not form any effective combat force under the chaotic charge of the Iron-Blooded Cavalry. "Weine" led the puppet army and charged straight towards the castle. The fire-chasing extraordinary people they encountered along the way had no idea what to do after seeing those puppets and turned around and left.
What a joke, just looking at this puppet army, even a sixth-level transcendent would have a headache, and those below the sixth level would basically be weak in the knees. Puppets are not good at single combat but they can fight in groups, ten against one, twenty against one, is that possible?
While on the road, Ryan immediately switched to the interface of 'Lin Qi'. At this time, the saint was leading the people from the Gate of Janus to the outside of the castle.
I have to say that the Pope's milk is really fragrant. This wave of assists brought another sixth-level extraordinary person to Lin Qi. There are also twenty or thirty extraordinary people from the third to fifth levels. In addition, the Janus Gate forces that were originally lurking in Barron have blossomed everywhere with Lin Qi's order. Otherwise, they will not be able to stop the people from the Fire Chaser Headquarters.
From this point, we can also see that the foundation of the Gate of Janus is indeed deep. You should know that there are eleven cardinals in the entire religion, and each of them has a strength of more than level six. The top three bishops are even more powerful, and it is said that they have reached the level of seventh-level transcendents.
As for the Pope herself, no one knows how powerful she is, but she is very strong anyway.
Otherwise, how could the influence of Janus Gate spread across the entire continent?
At this moment, Lin Qi was surrounded by a dozen people, one of whom was a Rank 6 Punishment Knight, responsible for protecting her. Another Rank 6 was Anderni, but he was currently playing hide-and-seek with the Fire Covenant members with a group of Paladins.
"Casradi hasn't arrived yet?"
Ryan did not let Lin Qi attack rashly. His original plan was for Hainuo to bring Casradi over and launch a final attack on the castle in the name of the princess.
The old emperor hasn't appeared yet, so he must be planning a blood sacrifice. Speed is of the essence in war. As for that woman Hainuo, hasn't she been criticized enough by Rainbow Bridge?
Just as he was thinking about it, a holy light descended from the sky and transformed into the appearance of Hainuo.
"The princess is watching the battle from a distance." She explained to Lin Qi.
Because she was worried that Lin Qi would kill Casradi after the incident, she did not let the latter come.
"It's still not enough." Ryan was sure that this woman deserved to be fucked, and the game character setting was true.
However, whether Kasladi comes or not will not affect the overall situation. Having Hainuo, the seventh-level Holy Word Mage, is enough.
After a while, 'Weine's' puppet army also successfully joined together.
Hainuo looked at 'Vine' with some confusion. If she remembered correctly, her puppet should have been given to Ryan. How could it be in 'Vine's' hands?
Not many people knew this secret, but the puppet sent by Hainuo himself naturally knew it, but 'Lin Qi' did not give any explanation.
"Magna is on our side for now," she told everyone.
"From our side?" The Punishment Knight Lild was a little surprised. Aren't they here to help Casradi take the throne?
Although he was doubtful, the Pope had instructed that everything should be done according to the saint's orders.
Hainuo wanted to ask but didn't. She didn't bring Casradi here, which was considered a violation of Lin Qi's order. She felt a little guilty, fearing that the latter would suddenly take out the Pot of Greed and spray her twice.
"Take action."
Lin Qi gave an order.
Liard led the Janus Gate troops out first, followed by the puppet army, whose arrival instantly disrupted the balance between the Iron Blood Army and the Imperial defenders. Maganna, caught in the fierce battle, frowned slightly. She saw Lin Qi and then her gaze fell on Wei Nei. The Soul Singer used the power of death to convey the latest situation to her.
Seeing that the puppets were only attacking the imperial defenders, Maganna didn't care. Soon, Hainuo's figure flashed over, and a holy light spell fell, defeating the defense supported by the court magicians.
Magna sneered, "Heino, you're like a bitch. Didn't you say you'd help Kasradi become emperor? Why are you wagging your tail at others again?"
Hainuo's eyes were cold, and he wished he could use a big holy light to hit Maganna hard.
"How can you be any better? Aren't you, the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke, working for someone else? I think you're just working for the Iron-Blooded Workers' Group."
Kasradi cannot be the empress, but it is obvious that Hainuo can see that Maganna is also an employee and not the empress.
"Hmph~ Naturally, this Grand Duke has something he wants. The throne? I don't even want that! Even without that chair, I'm still the Emperor of the Western Territory. But what about your Princess? If she can't become Empress, then she can only be a slave girl, hahahaha!"
The Archduke's triumphant voice was harsher than the devil's, and it made Hainonaizi so angry that it hurt.
"You're a dwarf who'll never grow tall!" She couldn't help but curse. Ahhhh, she'd had enough, she really had enough. 'Lin Qi' forgot about it, after all, he had something on her. What were you, a white-haired dwarf, so proud of?
At this moment, Hai Nuo just wanted to vent his anger at the vice-president's elegance and dignity.
"What did you say!!!" Maganna was furious.
"Is your head as heavy as my chest? The so-called Iron-blooded Duke is nothing but a brat who will never grow taller."
"You're looking for death!!"
The Grand Duke was never afraid of any provocation from his opponent, but the only thing he couldn't do was call her short!
"I tm..."
Ryan covered his face in front of the screen and said, "Grand Duke, can you please stop arguing with others?"
When has he ever won an argument? Not even once, and he always loves to get angry, only to end up exploding in anger.
He quickly asked 'Weine' to hold Maganna back, and 'Lin Qi' also conveyed the message to Hainuo, saying, "If you continue like this, I will kill you."
In the end, the two chose to let each other go. After all, they had more important things to do.
Although Hainuo's skills were not good, her strength was unquestionable. With her help, the court magicians' alliance was broken in an instant. Maganna killed four people with three axes, and the remaining one was dead and one was injured and retreated back to the castle.
On the other side, the imperial defenders were also defeated by the charge of puppets and cavalry. Countless corpses piled up into a mountain, and blood flowed and spread along the ground like a spreading river.
"Ok?"
Maganna, who was about to rush into the castle, suddenly discovered that the blood seemed to be gradually seeping into the ground.
"There is a situation."
Heino also stopped.
Through the black fog of death, Maganna observed the current situation in the entire city of Barron, and discovered that blood-colored array patterns had risen in several locations at some point.
These array patterns surrounded the castle, and their powers were gradually merging. Under the influence of the power of blood sacrifice, the black fog of death was also being melted away bit by bit.
"It's indeed a blood sacrifice."
"How can there be so many?!"
This was the old emperor's trump card, and no one was surprised, but the method of blood sacrifice this time seemed different from the past.
boom!
Blood rose into the sky from the city!
The blood-red formations in the four major urban areas of east, south, west, and north emitted captivating light. Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the four forces gradually merged into a larger formation, covering the sky above the castle.
At this moment, the war taking place in the city of Barron became the best key to start the blood sacrifice. The souls and blood of the dead continued to converge towards this blood-colored formation. Under the blood-colored sky, there was a strong sense of oppression visible to the naked eye.
"Md, salt isn't salty anymore, is it?"
Ryan knew that the old emperor had a back-up plan.
Where had the Blood Cult's men gone, not a single one of them showing up? Even Amabena could figure out that they were definitely carrying out some major undertaking according to the old emperor's orders.
This wave of blood sacrifice was expected, so Ryan was not surprised. He directly ordered to cancel the character's "shock" afterswing, and let Maganna and Heino attack the castle.
The power of the blood sacrifice will eventually converge here, so the method of confrontation is very clear.
Maganna rushed out first, but her axe was bounced away by the power of the blood-colored formation.
"It's so hard, like a turtle shell."
Heino frowned and muttered a spell, and a huge lightsaber suddenly appeared - Kyle's Sword of Judgment!
Swish! !
The power she unleashed far surpassed that of Casradi. The collision of the Sword of Judgment and the blood-colored formation, the stalemate of light and blood, split two vast rifts in the sky above Barron. But within a moment, the Sword of Judgment finally exploded with a bang, and the unleashed magical power surged out of the castle, blowing away buildings one after another.
Hai Nuo stared at the blood-colored formation in amazement. It was unbelievable that its power could reach this level... No! She turned her head to look inside the city. The powerful mental power of the magician allowed her to immediately discover the clues.
"The power of this formation comes from the people in the city!"
“A lot of people died.”
Maganna frowned. When the sword fell just now, she could feel that a large number of dead souls appeared in the entire Barron City in an instant. It was obvious that the blood-colored formation used blood sacrifice to eliminate Hainuo's attack, and the price was the death of those sacrifices.
The whole city is a sacrifice!
She doesn't care about the lives of these people.
However, with them around, the power of blood sacrifice is endless.
Just as he was thinking, a large amount of blood-red surged out of the castle, gradually staining the palace. Those patches of glaring red were blood. Then, skulls emerged from the blood, piling up from the bottom of the castle. Finally, what appeared before everyone's eyes was an incomparably huge fortress of bones!
Hiss~~
Blood-red lightning danced above the pile of bones, and under the gaze of everyone, a bone throne suddenly appeared.
The figure of the old emperor slowly emerged from under the blood.
"Magna, Casradi, and... hypocritical followers of Janus! I've tolerated you for so many days. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" The old emperor said frantically. "Behold this magnificent scene! I'm about to step into the realm bestowed by God. From now on, the Augustus Empire will be invincible under my leadership!"
Finally, this moment has finally arrived!
At this moment, the old emperor's face was not only full of excitement, but also filled with mad anticipation for what was about to happen.
"Hey! Old man!" Maganna cursed. "You're willing to become a slave to the Blood God! You've truly disgraced the Emperor's dignity!"
"Dignity? No, Maganna, you are wrong! I am the Emperor of Augustus, and I will be the Emperor forever. This world is a gift from God. I simply walked ahead of you and made the miracle happen with my own hands."
"Kahn, the power of the Blood God is by no means easily obtained," Hainuo said solemnly, "The gift of eternal life comes with countless corpses. You will drag Augustus into the abyss."
"Shut up! I can't be wrong, I can't be wrong!!"
The old emperor walked to the skull throne, his eyes filled with excitement and bloodthirsty madness. "Just watch! The gift of God's choice is about to fall!"
After saying that, he sat down on the skull throne.
The next moment, the blood-colored formation poured in an extremely terrifying power. Bathed in the blood-colored power, the old emperor's body began to become younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hahahahaha! Did you see that? I am acquiring the power of immortality! When my strength increases further, you will all die!" The old emperor laughed wildly.
"What a piece of shit!"
Maganna rushed over in a rage.
boom! ! !
The fatal blow was blocked by the power released by the old emperor's hand. He sat on the throne, controlling the bloody power generated by the sacrifice and attacked Maganna.
shhhhhh!
The blood-colored power turned into arrows of light and flew out. Maganna hurriedly retreated to dodge, and her battle axe slashed out with a moon blade, stretching out a series of explosions where she flew past.
"Give up, Maganna!" The old emperor said in a high voice, with the demeanor of a superior: "Before the power of the Blood God, even the Chosen of Death must surrender. Do you see? This is my current power!"
Maganna, who became the Chosen One of Death, was very powerful, but she was still no match for him, which made the old emperor feel particularly happy!
"Father!"
Casradi came from a distance.
The old emperor glanced at her calmly and said, "Casradi, my daughter, I allow you to repent of your sins one last time and let your people leave. For your mother's sake, I will spare your life."
