"That's all there is to it."

Loria sneered, and the next moment, she suddenly saw a magic-powered cannonball flying from afar. Too lazy to swing her sword, she simply grabbed it with her hand and stopped the cannonball.

Seeing the cannonball spinning in Loria's palm, the soldiers who had been clamoring just moments before immediately panicked.

"A monster! It's a monster!"

"Run!"

Without Loria and the others even lifting a finger, the panicked soldiers trampled each other, and several of them had their eye sockets cracked from being trampled.

Loria showed no sympathy whatsoever for this.

These scoundrels eat the empire's food and pay, and along the way they have come, they have harmed countless civilians of the empire. She would not feel guilty even if she killed them.

"Tell me, what is the current state of the war in the Empire?"

Loria lifted the officer up.

The officer, who was so frightened he almost wet himself, explained the situation in detail.

The situation is far from optimistic.

Over the years, the problem of officials drawing salaries without working within the empire has become very serious.

Now that the war has begun, in order to ensure that the number of soldiers in the troops is sufficient, these officers will recruit people on the spot in the vicinity before they receive orders to set off.

The people recruited in this way are of mixed quality, mostly the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, and those who meet the criteria are one in ten thousand.

Loria found it hard to imagine how such an army could fight against the "regular army" assembled by the Secret Leader.

When they arrive at the front lines, the morale of the regular troops will surely be greatly damaged by their performance.

"One month? Two months? It seems the capital will fall soon."

Loria didn't jump to conclusions; she came prepared.

Because the simulator's content revolves around her, she cannot fully grasp the direction of the upcoming war.

Because simulator results are not 100% accurate, she would never use simulator results spanning a very long period of time as the basis for her judgment.

But even without these things, she can draw many interesting conclusions based on her own experiences.

As the saying goes, one leaf knows autumn.

The performance of this army revealed a lot of useful information.

In the Oder Empire, the power of nobles is extremely high, and even impoverished nobles are not to be trifled with by ordinary soldiers.

Normally, upon learning that the convoy belonged to Count Lydalia, the first thing the officer in charge should do is to step forward and verify.

But instead of verifying, he directly mocked them. Is it because they are incredibly audacious?

Simply being bold is clearly not an explanation.

The most likely reason is that they no longer have any reverence for "ordinary" nobles.

This awe ultimately stems from a fear of the empire's authority; losing this fear means that the empire is no longer so terrifying in their eyes.

“Something must have happened that I don’t know about, and that has made these troops stationed in the local areas unwilling to obey the Empire’s orders anymore.”

Loria nodded secretly.

The collapse of the army, both internally and externally, will inevitably lead to the downfall of the empire.

This is not a situation that can be reversed by a few loyal and powerful knights, because more knights will see the situation is not good and run to the opposite side of the empire.

"I wonder if there's any useful information in the newspapers."

Loria snapped out of her thoughts.

She stared silently at the officer who was kneeling on the ground, trembling.

What should we do with this person?

Before she could make a decision, a magic arrow suddenly shot out from behind, piercing the officer's forehead.

puff.

Loria stared in shock at the corpse lying on the ground, bleeding profusely.

Kollridge walked over: "This kind of person has blood on his hands. Killing him is indirectly a benefit to the world."

Loria nodded.

Kohlrich is right. This kind of person cannot be let go. If we let him go, he will not only not be grateful, but will try every means to take revenge.

"Resolve it on the spot, and it'll be over in a minute."

Loria returned to the carriage, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling, and headed towards the refuge chosen by Count Lydalia.

The journey was somewhat boring. The president was still getting used to the power within her body, and Tracy and she didn't get along at all, so she could only talk to Miss Fat Sheep and Mrs. Lucy.

Miss Fat Sheep's favorite topic of conversation is adventurers.

Unfortunately, Loria, being an adventurer, had absolutely no interest in this.

Instead of listening to other adventurers' adventure stories, she felt she'd rather read more books.

Mrs. Lucy had a much wider range of topics to discuss, but most of them were about mundane family matters.

For Lazy Loria, those things were too far removed from her life. She felt that instead of discussing that, she should talk to Mrs. Lucy about how to play with the diverse collection of toys in their collection.

"Damn it, there are so many people around, I can't even hide away and play by myself."

This feeling of unease was relieved the next day.

The carriage stopped in a small town. Loria got off and bought every newspaper she could find. Then she began to verify the news in the newspapers with the simulation.

She quickly came to a conclusion—

Message simulators cannot accurately simulate anything closely related to the weaver.

"It seems that the simulator in my hand was created by some 'god'. Even if this 'god' is stronger than the Weaver, he can't be much stronger."

This conclusion greatly worried Loria.

How can such an opponent be defeated? By relying on the dawn, the wind, and the goddess of the sky?

This made Loria angry.

The evil god and his followers are causing trouble everywhere, so why is the goddess not reacting at all?

"You bully the weak and fear the strong, huh? All you do all day is threaten me, a weak woman, with thunder and rain. Are you even human?!"

Keep doing this until all your followers abandon you, then you'll know what to do and cry.

Loria turned off the simulator and categorized the news she had compiled from the newspaper.

These past few days, news of Earl Norton's defection to the Hidden Leader and his stirring up trouble in his territory, rebelling against the Empire, has spread far and wide.

However, the emperor did not immediately order the suppression of the rebellion, but instead laughed and said that the Earl of Norton was nothing more than a caged bird.

“What can he do? I can teach him a lesson with a short stick.”

What does it mean to exude domineering aura?

When Loria saw this sentence in the newspaper, she was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. She even suspected that these reporters were deliberately smearing the emperor.

Is this an emperor? Or is he a living Buddha?

After repeated persuasion from his close advisors, the emperor finally issued the order to quell the rebellion.

But the result was quite surprising.

People thought that the rebel army organized by Earl Norton was already weak enough, but they didn't expect that the first army to come to quell the rebellion would be even weaker.

They came rushing over in a huff, eating hotpot and singing songs, but were ambushed halfway there and scattered in all directions.

The army was utterly defeated, and this defeat caused all the other armies that came to quell the rebellion to back down.

Forget it, let's try to walk slowly and let those who arrive first go first.

"What do you mean, 'Sleeping Dragon' and 'Young Phoenix'!"

At this moment, Loria desperately wanted to know whose general the leader of the army was.

That's it, the situation is completely ruined.

The local army could no longer contain Lord Norton's rebels; they were simply delivering themselves into the lion's den, making Lord Norton fatter and fatter.

At this point, the only way to quell the rebellion was to mobilize elite troops.

However, the Empire's elite forces are limited in number, and the fact that one force was sent to deal with Earl Norton will inevitably create gaps elsewhere.

"It's over."

Loria's only consolation was that she met Vita and managed to hide one of the Enka Stones beforehand; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Let's hide for a few months and see how things develop."

Loria had no desire to get involved in this mess.

As a B-rank adventurer, she did not have the ability to influence the course of the war.

Don't be fooled by her incredible performance in the simulation, where she can even seduce the Dark Elf Queen and the Nightmare Queen. That strength comes from the open portals and the rigorous training she received through leveling up by defeating monsters.

In reality, she's just an incredibly innocent and naive young girl.

If she rashly joins the battle and is caught by the Nightmare Queen and her allies, she'll probably be killed in no time.

Human strength has its limits.

Even she cannot easily surpass humans, and she does not possess the resurrection ability of a mad and indulgent goddess's followers.

Dengdengdeng-

The carriage continued on its way.

Loria was quite relaxed. She had barely paid attention to the outside world these past two days, focusing almost entirely on her upcoming secluded life.

Her goal was to find the person who had done the bad thing with her that night, and then do the bad thing with that person.

She didn't do this because she was craving sex; she just wanted to use this method to quickly improve her endurance and increase her survival ability in the coming chaotic world.
