Can't I develop my own character?

"Oh?" Ryan nodded slightly. "What did he find out?"

"He said Bill went to a bakery in Dongcheng District to buy something today and interacted with people. It was very suspicious."

"Dongcheng District?"

Ryan frowned. There were so many bakeries in Midtown, but why did he go all the way to East City? The bread there must be big, white and fragrant, right?

"Who was he in contact with?"

"A woman with light yellow curly hair. The captain followed her for a while, but then gave up. The woman was very vigilant, and if they continued to follow her, they would be discovered."

"Oh?"

Ryan was a little surprised. You know, Gluck is a third-level extraordinary person. He was tracking people and still being discovered. How strong was the other party?

Even the singer has probably reached the third level.

"Wait, yellow curly hair? Do you know which street she went to?"

"Locke Street. It's not clear beyond that."

"...It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"What's wrong, Lord Ryan?"

"No, it's okay. You go out first and tell Gluck to be careful not to be discovered."

Xueyi obeyed the order and left the room quietly.

"Locke Street...isn't the bookstore on that street? Her hair is similar to Kesa's, could it be her?...But how is the Eye of Dawn and Dusk connected to the Blood Archbishop?"

Ryan remembered that in the game's plot, the forces mobilized by the Second Prince had always been the Blood Archbishop. In any case, there was no content about the Eye of Dawn and Dusk in the entire plot of Berman City.

But the six elders of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk really like to cooperate with the Blood Archbishop, because those lunatics sometimes don't like to use their brains.

So, what is the relationship between Keisha and Bill?

Or just pure collaboration.

Either Bill, as the Second Prince's subordinate, also had problems, or he was a mole planted by the Eye of Dawn and Dusk under the Second Prince's command... Well, Ryan felt that he must have been overthinking it, otherwise such bizarre love-hate relationship would have been discovered by the players long ago.

But this is just a guess for now. There are many blondes on Locke Street. It may not be Keisha. Maybe she is Bill's mistress.

Ryan decided to go and see what was going on.

In the afternoon, he left work early and rushed to Dongcheng District.

The bookstore was as deserted as ever. Ryan wondered if there was a barrier in it to drive away ordinary people, otherwise why was there no one there every time he came?

"Lord Ryan." Kesha, who was sitting at the cashier counter, stood up.

"I came to take a look and inform you that the situation has been a bit turbulent recently. If the Kainte army really attacks the city, the Grand Duke wants us to retreat. I will take you with me then."

"About this..." Keisha took something out of the cabinet, "Sir, I was just about to report to you that this is the evidence I found about Mayor Bill's crimes."

"what?"

Ryan flipped through the so-called evidence, which actually recorded Bill's dealings with the Blood Archbishop.

This included Bill's secret delivery of sacrifices to the Blood Cult and his cover-up of pagan rituals over the years. When Ryan saw the last letter, his expression immediately became strange.

The letter recorded the "cooperation" between Bill and the Cainte officers, which basically meant that Bill negotiated with the other party on matters related to the siege.

"Where did you get these things?"

"Actually, Lord Adler asked me to investigate Bill a long time ago, and I compiled all this information step by step." Kaisha said respectfully, "As for this letter contacting the Cainte officer, I intercepted it and found it on a Cainte spy."

Ryan thought to himself, could it be that the spy you intercepted is you?

I have to say that Keisha really shocked Ryan. This woman must have met Bill today, otherwise she wouldn't know so much.

But why did Keisha give these things to him?

Another traitor?

You are not the traitor I arranged.

Wait, this isn't for me... Ryan thought, is this for Grand Duchess Maganna? Or is it for Casradi?

"Why did Adler ask you to investigate Bill? Who is behind Bill?" Ryan asked calmly.

"That's what Lord Adler wants to know," Kesha said, her expression calm. "He's suspicious of Bill, so he asked me to investigate. Unfortunately, I've only found something fishy about Bill, but I can't find the person behind him."

Woman, I don't believe a word you say.

Adler knows nothing about Bill.

But he's already dead, and there's no evidence, so Kesa can say whatever she wants.

The issue is.

Now how to do?

"Well, Kesha, you did a great job. I will report this matter to Grand Duke Maganna immediately."

"My lord, if we send the Grand Duke's troops, it might be too late," Kesha said. "I suggest telling both the Grand Duke and Casladi at the same time. If Casladi knows about Bill, she won't stand idly by. She'll contain Bill, or even deal with him, buying time for the Grand Duke to send his troops. What do you think?"

"How do you know I want the Grand Duke to send troops?"

"Ah." Kaisha was stunned for a moment, then said, "Isn't it? This is a good opportunity to seize Berman City and Kasradi."

"Haha~ Indeed." Ryan laughed. "Kesha, you are such a treasure. Isn't that great? This way, Berman City will be completely under our control, and Kasradi will also fall into our hands... Very good, I will go inform the Grand Duke now!"

"Everything for Magna... My Lord, I wish you the best."

Ryan left the bookstore and drove to the East City Police Station.

"Xueyi, keep an eye on the woman in the bookstore and be careful." Ryan gave Xueyi an order on the way.

The latter is an assassin profession and can easily hide himself.

That woman Kesha seemed to know that he wanted Maganna to send troops... Was it a coincidence?

Ryan didn't have time to dwell on it.

If there was one person he truly trusted, it was not Casradi or Magna, but Jonathan.

So Ryan wanted to hear Jonathan's opinion.

ten minutes later.

Dongcheng Branch Office.

Jonathan took two deep puffs of his cigarette, not noticing until the tobacco was about to burn his lips. He stared at the things Ryan brought and said, "Did you find out?"

"Correct."

"Where did it come from? Is it authentic?"

"I've found some clues from the Adler family. I've been secretly investigating this for a while now. This letter was obtained by intercepting a spy from Cainte. I didn't dare to show it before, after all, Mayor Bill has a good relationship with Princess Casradi, but now I think it's time to act."

"You're right. It's time to act now." Jonathan put out his cigarette and exhaled. "The Kainite army is attacking. We can't rely on anyone else. We can only rely on ourselves."

As early as after the Caint army broke through the border defense, the empire issued an order for the nobles of each major territory to gather troops to stop them. Unfortunately, there has been little gain so far, and even Kosothoa, which was the closest, only twitched symbolically.

They did send troops, but they were fighting those who were burning, killing and looting, not the elite troops that were attacking Berman City.

Everyone wants to preserve their strength, and no one wants to fight the enemy.

The empire is in turmoil, and the old emperor might be dead tomorrow morning. In order to avoid the turbulent situation affecting themselves, the nobles of these territories will choose to protect themselves.

Jonathan has been in the officialdom for so many years, how could he not see through their true faces?

"I will inform Her Royal Highness the Princess about this. Don't tell her. I will tell her that this is the intelligence obtained by the Fire Covenant." Jonathan said.

He didn't want Ryan to be too conspicuous at this time. This was not something worth showing off.

And now, the only one who can stop Bill is Casradi, at least his identity is very suitable at this time.

Jonathan acted quickly. By seven o'clock in the evening, he had contacted Casradi and worked out a response plan with her - to kill Bill, and then lead the Berman army to defend the city in the name of the princess.

As long as we can withstand the first wave of offensive from the Kainte army, Kasradi will gradually gather the surrounding garrisons. Kainte is not a wolf or a tiger, it's not that we can't stop it, but there is no one to stop it now.

As long as Casladi steps forward and takes the front seat, others will naturally follow.

After getting Jonathan's reply, Ryan contacted Maganna again.

He didn't know what Keisha wanted to do, but Keisha actually didn't know what he wanted either.

Therefore, he might as well concentrate on achieving his own goal now. As long as Maganna's Iron Blood Legion is stationed here, it will be enough to completely stabilize the city of Berman.

As for the others, you can slowly play games and create new accounts in the future. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to rise?

Besides, even if Martha has a conspiracy, it is aimed at Maganna. What does it have to do with me, Ryan?

"Lian, what's going on?"

In the mirror, the 1.5-meter-tall Maganna showed no impatience, even though Ryan had contacted her repeatedly recently. If it were Adler, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

"Grand Duke, is Creed here?"

"He's not here." Magna waved her hand. "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't worry. I'm not Creed's puppet. I won't listen to him."

"Of course I wouldn't think so. Grand Duke, you are a wise and brave god of war... Oh, yes, I found out something important."

Ryan told him about Bill's situation and Casradi's decision.

"...Grand Duke, if you allow Casladi to gather her army, she will likely seize control of the southern border in one fell swoop. It will then be difficult for you to deal with her."

"It turns out that the city of Berman is colluding with Cainte. Fortunately, I have sent people there in advance." Maganna said.

"Uh." Ryan was stunned. "Grand Duke, have you sent someone?"

"Well, they set out two days ago and should be here by now. Send Gluck to meet them. He'll know what to do... but they went secretly, and there aren't many of them, only about two thousand."

"But you before?"

"I've said before, I'm no one's puppet. I have my own ideas," Maganna said matter-of-factly. "Since Berman City is such a lucrative piece of meat, why wouldn't I want it? If I didn't want it, I'd give it to someone else. I never like other people touching my things. But what I can't understand is, if the Second Prince is behind this, colluding with other countries to stir up civil unrest, that's a serious crime."

Would the second prince do such a stupid thing?

"But we are just guessing, aren't we?" Ryan was not sure whether the second prince was an idiot, but with the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, everything was hard to say.

After all, the Eye of Dawn and Dusk guys are mysterious and no one knows where they are hiding. However, any place where chaos breaks out may have someone from the Eye of Dawn and Dusk hiding and plotting in secret.

Ryan was more concerned about how to turn the tide of the battle with these two thousand men.

"Don't worry. Once I confirm Kainte's siege, I'll dispatch my army immediately. I've even prepared the trains," Maganna said. "You just need to help me stabilize the situation in Berman City and prevent that woman, Kasradi, from escaping."

Ryan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Grand Duke. I will go through fire and water and die without hesitation!"

...

Facts have proved that Grand Duchess Maganna's heart is reassuring. Look at her vision, look at her decision-making, look at her white hair, look at her face, look at this... isn't it great?

Although he was a little short, in Ryan's mind the Grand Duke's figure was already quite majestic.

Get it if 2,000 people click on it.

Ryan immediately asked Gluck to go and provide support. The Iron Blood Legion was famous for its ability to fight. Two thousand was not a lot, but it was enough.

The operation to kill Bill is scheduled for tomorrow morning. After all, the other party is the actual controller of Berman City. Casladi also needs to be prepared and send a magic secret letter to her old father who is far away in the imperial capital. After killing Bill, she needs to obtain official control recognized by the empire.

According to the intercepted letter, the Kainte army's attack will be the day after tomorrow, so she still has time.

However, in the early morning of the second day after all the plans were made, a dazzling signal suddenly pierced the darkness and illuminated the sky above the city of Berman.

That was a signal flare to launch an attack!

The moment the signal flare sounded, all the Blood Cult members hiding in the city erupted!

at the same time.

Inside Cazorla Prison, a crazy sacrificial operation is about to begin!

Countless Blood Cultists cheered excitedly and brought all the sacrifices imprisoned in the cells to the underground altar.

“Blood sacrifice to the Blood God!” “Blood sacrifice to the Blood God!” “Blood sacrifice to the Blood God!”
