Can't I develop my own character?

The battle began in the next second.

"She, she she she she she..."

Looking at the 'Motis' who was killing everyone, Amabena was so surprised that she was speechless.

How come this guy is so powerful!

"It's okay, let's sign the contract. Let me see... Here's how it's written."

Ryan calmly wrote down the contents on the contract paper.

It's a fair trade.

Since he had run into him, Ryan simply took this opportunity to control the Kingdom of Lot and then infiltrate the Northern United Nations.

Moreover, with the support of the Lot Kingdom, he would have more room to play his layout in the Augustus Empire. It could be said that he had an extra way out. It was even possible for him to ask the Lot Kingdom to send troops to help his subordinates at the appropriate time.

It just so happens that Amabena is a hero. As long as the power is in his hands, he can easily hold the emperor hostage and command the princes... Oh no, Amabena probably doesn't care at all. If the Kingdom of Lot is thriving and she is not in any threat to her life, she should be happy to give Ryan a back massage and even pour him some water.

What?

The dignity of the king?

It doesn’t exist. I, Amabena, just want to live a good life!

Ryan could just pull over Xia Li's Holy Blood Legion. Now the Holy Blood had been scattered all over Augustus and was developing secretly. Bringing a part of it over wouldn't affect anything.

It's not that he looked down on the military strength of the Lot Kingdom, but the Holy Blood Legion, led by 'Charlie', was simply not on the same level as ordinary armies, and... well, the Lot Kingdom just didn't have much military strength. It used to be very strong, but its wealth was basically squandered by Amabena's father.

The situation of the Kingdom of Lot in the game is quite delicate. Internally, the various nobles have the right to divide the spoils, and externally, members of the United Nations also want to divide it. It can be said that it is facing a lot of internal and external troubles.

What United Nations? It's actually been rotten for a long time. If Augustus himself wasn't rotten, there would soon be only one overlord left in the northern continent. What a pity! No matter how you think about it, it's the old emperor's fault.

But, there is no Kansai!

He, Ryan, wants to reach the top step by step!

"Come, Your Majesty, please take a look at the problem." After drafting the contract, Ryan handed the contract paper to Amabena.

In fact, he was a little worried whether she would sign. After all, it was such an important document, and it was hard to think about signing it so hastily... Oh, she signed! She really signed! She signed without hesitation!

"I read it when you wrote it. There's nothing wrong with it. Let's leave it like this!" Amabena signed her name.

Then a drop of blood dripped from her flesh. Seeing the pain on her face, those who didn't know would think that a piece of flesh had been cut off.

"You won't hesitate for a moment? Or do you think my conditions are too harsh?"

"Harsh? Not so bad," Amabena said matter-of-factly. "I have nothing now anyway, and I'd die if I went back. I don't know what you want to do, but I won't lose anything even if you destroy the kingdom. On the contrary, if you can help me regain power, then you'll be my father!"

"Uh, not really."

Ryan was speechless, thinking, you didn't call me dad in the game... Although he didn't play to this point, he had read the information. Speaking of which, this character seemed to be much more "lively" than in the game.

"I'm serious, Ryan, I'm counting on you!"

"Ah good... Well, that's a wise choice you made."

Ryan was silent for a while and nodded, saying, damn, what kind of operation is this? He is almost at a loss, and he has prepared a hundred reasons to trick Amabena onto the boat.

"However," Amabena changed her tone, "If possible... I still hope that the Kingdom of Lot can become a better place. So, Lord Ryan, I leave the people of the kingdom in your care."

"Don't worry, it won't do me any good if the kingdom collapses, right?"

According to the terms of the contract, he helped Amapena regain power and clear domestic obstacles, and Amapena promised to listen to him in managing the kingdom.

From the perspective of contractual equality, it is actually fair, because Amabena has nothing now, just the title of king.

And if Ryan fails to complete it, Amabena will not have to fulfill the terms of the contract.

But because Ryan was confident that he could complete it, he always felt that he had gotten a great deal, and Amabena was the kind of person who would count the money with him after being sold out.

Turning around, the king was looking at him with eyes wide open and full of expectation.

"So what should we do next? Ryan, use your invincible firepower to think of a solution!"

Now that the contract is reached, they are in the same boat and are accomplices, so Amabena is no longer worried that Ryan will do anything bad to her.

"Don't worry, my king. The firepower is on its way on horseback. Let's get out of here first, or the pursuers will come again."

The bounty hunter has been killed by 'Mortis', but the pursuers are definitely on the way, and it is not safe here.

"Then where are we going?"

"How is Astor City?"

"Aster? Aren't there too many people in the city? What if we get discovered..."

Ryan thought that these bounty hunters didn't know him at all. How many people on the border knew him as the new king? In the era without the Internet, information circulation was too poor, and those princes and ministers would not let the news of Amapena's ascension to the throne spread too far in order to kill the cheap king. So Ryan was sure that it would not matter even if Amapena walked into the city gate with her head held high.

However, it is best to wear a hat to be on the safe side.

"There are hotels and restaurants in the city, with all kinds of delicious food and drinks, comfortable beds and hot showers. You've been hungry for nine meals in three days, haven't you?"

"Stop talking!" Amabena said seriously, "I'm going to inspect the territory now."

"Let's go then."

...

On the way to Ast City, Ryan listened to Amabena explaining the current situation of the Kingdom of Lot, while ordering 'Motis' to go jungle and develop, and at the same time, he interrupted the game and asked 'Charlie' to gather a part of the Holy Blood Legion to come first.

Although Mortis has good attributes, his level is too low. The path of King of the Wild Hunt has a lot of room for growth. Once he reaches a higher level, the skills he will comprehend will definitely be amazing. He will definitely not be worse than Xia Li, the chosen one of the Blood God.

So the first thing she had to do was to do it hard.

The Holy Blood Legion can develop anywhere. Its small size makes it easy to infiltrate, but the equipment issue is a bit troublesome. Ryan plans to wait for a wave of development to gather enough troops. Even if he has an extra 50,000 or 10,000, he will be sure to protect Amabena to the royal city.

Although the Kingdom of Lot still bears the name of a kingdom, its national strength has declined. The major lords have their own troops and are even unwilling to pay taxes. It is in a state of collapse.

Therefore, the number of troops in the royal city will not be large. According to Amabena, in the territories of the major lords, there is a grand duke who has 50,000 troops, and the others have at most a few thousand or tens of thousands of troops.

It was the Grand Duke who wanted to kill her now.

It's true that although Amabena looks useless, she is very familiar with the situation. She knows clearly who is hostile to her and wants to be king, and which noble territory has more soldiers and which has fewer soldiers.

"There are always villains who want to harm me!" Amabena said to Ryan more than once, "So I have to find out who those who want to harm me are, otherwise I will die without knowing why."

Ryan thought to himself, You are absolutely right.

It would take three days for 'Xia Li' to come over, so it was a good opportunity for him to rest up.

Ryan switched to the character interface of 'Weine' and found that the army had already set out north.

However, the Paladin army did not join them, but arrived at the northern border in advance and set up camp.

Cardinal Andoni, the head of the Janus Gate, publicly stated that they would eliminate the threat of the Blood God for the Augustus Empire.

However, this statement was quickly opposed within the empire. The Fire-Seeking Covenant, whose main activity area is in the north, denounced the Gate of Janus as a brutal interference in the regime of another country.

The Fire-Seeking Covenant was the official Transcendental faction of the Augustus Empire, but this faction was also publicly run by ordinary people, similar to religious organizations like the Janus Gate and the Blood Cult, who promoted faith in the Sun God among their people. However, the Fire-Seeking Covenant was relatively new, so its religious influence was primarily concentrated in the northern region, leaving Transcendental beings hidden throughout the empire. Furthermore, due to the old emperor's career path and his wielding of imperial power, he sought to control the Fire-Seeking Covenant's power without allowing its religious influence to overwhelm the empire.

'Vene' investigated the historical records of the August Empire and discovered that this country did believe in the sun god, but as religious power declined, the belief fell into silence until the emergence of the Fire Covenant.

This is equivalent to the beginning of the game. Ryan remembered that there was a side quest in the early stage of the plot to help the Fire Covenant develop. He estimated that in the later stage, the infiltration of Janus' Gate would also have to be eliminated.

This involves a struggle for faith among gods.

Would the Sun God truly protect the August Empire? It was a mystery. The old emperor had taken the Blood God's Path, and the Janus Gate was flourishing everywhere. The Fire-Chasing Covenant was a candle in the wind in this vortex, so how could it possibly compete with the Janus Gate?

Unless the old emperor supports it and takes the path of the imperial regime against religious forces, it is clear that the old emperor is using the Fire Chaser to put pressure on the Gate of Janus, and then conduct negotiations in secret.

There are many variables, so Casradi doesn't want to wait any longer. She plans to use war to break the deadlock and not give her old father too much time.

Compared to the situation in the southern border, the situation in the western border is much better. After all, the army belongs to Maganna herself. After listening to the advice of "Ina", the Iron Blood Army took over all the surrounding towns in just one day... In fact, there was no fighting at all, they just rushed on the road. Wherever the Iron Blood Army went, they would raise white flags to welcome them, and the French salute was quite standard.

Finally, the main force of the Iron Blood Army surrounded Zijing City and called in troops in the name of "clearing the court". At present, some people in Zijing City are ready to defect, but due to the Royal Guards stationed there, they are temporarily in a stalemate.

'Ina' estimated that in three days at most, the city gates would be wide open, and the Royal Guards would have to withdraw, but the city would come under the jurisdiction of Maganna.

Once there is a precedent, there will be a second one. Once a precedent is set, the iron-blooded army will advance rapidly. This is much better than suppressing with bloody means.

The old emperor is busy dealing with the Janus Gate, so the Iron Blood Army's advancement will be smooth in the short term.

As for what happens next, never mind. Let’s conquer the territory first.

Anyway, the Holy Blood Legion still needs time to develop. This wave, I guess it depends on how the Fire-Seeking Covenant operates... Speaking of which, Ryan still doesn't know who the boss of Fire-Seeking is. Although they obey the orders of the old emperor, the purpose of establishing Fire-Seeking was to maintain the stability of the empire. Only then did religious forces develop, so what happens next will be interesting.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

after one day.

The carriage entered the city of Astor smoothly.

Amabena lifted the car curtain and carefully looked out, watching for anyone trying to assassinate her.

"Don't worry, there aren't so many killers on this border." Ryan said speechlessly.

"Where's your capable subordinate? The cool one, where did she go?"

"Oh, she's not one of my men. She's just a bounty hunter I hired. She left after completing her mission."

"Then what should we do?! Why don't you keep her? Even if you pay her, it will be fine!Σ(⊙▽⊙"a"

"Don't worry, if you put on the hat, no one will recognize who you are. Why waste that money?"

Ryan was very familiar with this operation. He had entered Yinfeng City in a swaggering manner at the beginning.

But... Hey, hey, hey, please move your apple away quickly, it's blocking my view outside!

After some trouble, the carriage stopped at a hotel. Amabena covered herself tightly and walked almost close to Ryan, looking around from time to time.

Ryan shook his head at the guilty look on his face.

"Boss, open two rooms." Ryan said.

The boss looked at Amabena in confusion: "What is she doing..."

"He is my father and I am his daughter!"

Ryan: "?"

"Oh, I see. I understand." The boss smiled and checked Ryan in.

No, you don't know shit! I'm not her dad! Do you think I'm playing the game like an aristocratic grandfather?

"It's the ball." Amabena grabbed Ryan's arm as he tried to stop her, tears welling in her eyes.

“…Tsk.”

Ryan was speechless. How afraid of death is this girl?

Forget it, father is father.

After completing the check-in procedures, Ryan went to the room. It was very big and well-equipped. It was a little expensive, but it didn't matter since he had plenty of money anyway.

"I'll take a break first and then take you out for food later."

After staying up all night last night, Ryan was a little sleepy.

Amabena nodded and quickly entered the room and closed the door.

"Phew~ I'm so tired."

Ryan lay on the bed and opened the game as usual.

As soon as I switched to Lin Qi's character interface, a message popped up -

"The Pope asked me to speak to the Emperor of the Augustus Empire on behalf of the Janus Gate. She asked me to find a way to uncover the secrets of the Blood God Cult and make them public."

.........

Phew~ The first update is finished at noon. I’ll have a meal and continue writing. Go, go, go! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please support me!

Chapter 103: 'Slaanesh's Chosen', Father Ryan and his 'daughter'

The negotiations finally took place, but Ryan didn't expect that it would be Lin Qi who represented him.

Judging from the Pope's intentions, he is openly discussing the matter but secretly wants to expose the old emperor. Once the secret of the blood sacrifice is exposed, the old emperor's remaining image will completely collapse.

By then, the imperial forces will be overwhelmed, and Kasradi's filial piety sword will no longer be hidden.

"It seems like it's still a battle of faith. The Janus Gate will continue to squeeze the space of the Fire Covenant and occupy the faith of the people of the Empire... So, does the Sun God care? If he doesn't, there's no way to fight."

The religious power of the Fire Chaser has just developed, how can it compare to the Gate of Janus?

However, there are still many die-hard party members in the North. In this world with gods, once they are brainwashed, they can go crazy and should not be underestimated.
