Can't I develop my own character?

There's nothing else to say. The country is weak. No one thinks the Kingdom of Lot can win, and everyone wants to lick the country's ass and be a traitor.

Therefore, in this battle, 'Xia Li' is going to defeat the Northern Alliance army head-on!

However, it must be said that the combat effectiveness of this army is far stronger than the ragtag group led by Frank. Even if they can resolve the charge of the Moonlight Knights, it cannot be said that they have definitely won.

For the current Holy Blood Army, the greatest reliance is the enhancement of the war field and the group blood-sucking effect brought by the bloodthirsty attack.

When the blood mist finally began to spread over the battlefield, the situation began to gradually change.

“Blood sacrifice!” “Blood sacrifice!” “Blood sacrifice!”

"Everything is dedicated to the great Lady Xia Li!"

The Holy Blood officers roared.

Hiss!

The blood turned into burning flames. Bathed in the bloody aura, this Holy Blood Legion looked like devils walking out of purgatory. There was no timidity or fear on their faces, only fearless fighting and determination.

Some of them were wounded, shot by muskets, and lost their hands and feet, but they would rush forward even if they had to crawl, grab the enemy, and use any part of their body that could be used as a weapon, doing their best to kill the opponent!

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

Fight, fight, fight!

Keep fighting!

As long as the war continues, let's take up arms and fight!

Momentum means you are strong and he is weak!

"Demons! These are demons!"

"Hurry up and shoot with your muskets!!!"

"Where's the cannon! Where's the cannon?!"

boom! boom! boom!

The roar of cannons continued to sound.

But the blood mist had already dispersed, blocking most of the view, and the gunners of the Northern Alliance had no idea where to place the shells.

Soon, these cannons and musket teams were dispersed by the Holy Blood Army that rushed out from both sides. The output from the rear that lost protection was forcibly cut off, and the consequences can be imagined.

The commanders of various countries quickly lost control of the war. They each led their own troops to fight. Without Kosol as the commander-in-chief, the so-called alliance was nothing but a mess.

More importantly, they had never encountered such an enemy before!

Hesitation and cowardice on the battlefield are the beginning of defeat.

too messy!

There was no order or rules at all. Everyone was trapped in a bloody mist and panic spread rapidly.

But such a battle is exactly what is most beneficial to the Holy Blood Legion.

......

"Sure enough, the future battlefield will be dominated by the Extraordinary Era."

Ryan had been following the battle.

The combat power of the 5,000 Holy Blood Army was formidable, but if the Northern Alliance hadn't initially sent half of them to defend the rear, the situation would have been different. It's very likely that half the Holy Blood Army would have been killed before the effects of the war zone spread.

Bloodsucking?

Facing a barrage of cannons and muskets, it may not be very effective, not to mention that there are quite a few extraordinary people on the opposite side.

It is well known that those who can fight a protracted war are afraid of encountering those with strong explosive power.

Even now, the Holy Blood Legion has an absolute advantage, but the number of casualties is still not small.

However, building a super team gave Ryan a new idea. Just like Wildea's Moonlight Knights, ordinary armies led by super people may become the mainstream on the battlefield in the future.

Especially in countries like Wildea that believe in the Moon God, they have a way to stably produce the Moon Knight profession, so they can create the Moon Knights.

What about the Augustan Empire?

You can give the Son of the Sun a try, but this profession is good at fighting alone, and its performance on the battlefield is far inferior to that of the Moonlight Knight.

As for the Holy Blood Legion, it is almost impossible to replicate, because without the Chosen One "Charlie", no one dares to use the will of "war" on a legion, otherwise they will only get a group of crazy war demons.

But, isn’t it the coolest thing that it can’t be copied?

"It's not a big deal. Once I take over Wildea, the Moonlight Knights will be mine too."

Ryan thought, stroking his chin.

Queen Elvian?

It's just a mg with its butt sticking out and humming.

The battle continues.

In about half an hour, the Northern Alliance's army was already showing signs of collapse.

The remnants of the army kept retreating from the blood mist, and some countries used extraordinary people to try to dispel the influence of the blood mist, but even without the blessing of the war field, they were still no match for the Holy Blood Army in a head-on battle.

The Holy Blood Legion was organized by 'Xali' into battle groups of a thousand people. Each battle group was led by an officer who had comprehended the power of the Holy Blood. The battle groups were further divided into companies of a hundred people. The company commanders could also use the power of the Holy Blood. This layered coverage ensured that each Holy Blood battle group had the strength to hunt down extraordinary people.

Moreover, the influence of the Holy Blood Power is wide-ranging. Often, a company commander who has comprehended the Holy Blood Power can influence his subordinates through his will to fight. This influence is the same as that of 'Xia Li' on the entire legion, but the effect is weaker.

In this mode, each company can be called elite. They are able to raid, charge, and harass. They are not only flexible but also extremely powerful.

On the other hand, this joint army still sticks to the traditional way of fighting, and will be in chaos once their formation is broken... However, since this is a blow from the extraordinary power, Ryan thinks this situation is normal.

When the battle was completely over, only less than 3,000 people of the 14,000-man joint army escaped and joined the team in the rear who received the order to come to support.

'Xia Li' did not give the order to pursue, but instead ordered the Holy Blood Legion to retreat and rest.

Strengthening the will to fight also has side effects. If the soldier is trapped in the influence of war for too long, it will place a huge burden on his spirit. To put it bluntly, it is "war erosion". If the burden exceeds the limit, he will go crazy.

However, 'Xia Li' can use her own strength to protect the soldiers. The main reason for her withdrawal is that the Holy Blood Army suffered heavy casualties, nearly two thousand people, but most of them were the latest recruits.

The enemy still has nearly 20,000 people, so they naturally cannot be underestimated. However, the Moonlight Knights were completely wiped out, and the enemy's morale was severely hit. Their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they may not dare to attack again.

You know, this is a joint army, and they have a lot of ideas.

"It should be fine tonight."

The two armies separated and dusk officially fell. Ryan went out for a meal and chatted with his brothers from the Iron Blood Army for a few hours. After returning, he fell asleep.

the next day.

When Ryan opened the game again, he found that 'Xali' was leading the Holy Blood Legion in a fierce battle, and the background of the battle was a plain burning with flames.

He looked through the AFK records and found out that 'Xia Li' had burned the granary again in the early morning.

It hadn't been burned before, but it was burned right after a battle. The coalition army was in chaos, and the attack on the Holy Blood Army was unexpected. Moreover, it was "Charlie" who led the army personally, and it was impossible to stop it.

The fire burned half the sky red, and 'Xia Li' led a team of a thousand people and fought their way in and out seven times before leaving, delaying the enemy's best time to put out the fire. When she led the army to break through successfully, what was left behind was a group of pursuers with no fighting spirit.

Ryan knew that the Northern Alliance's army was finished. Even if Elvian sent reinforcements immediately, they would not be able to hold out for long after losing their food supplies.

As for the support of the Lot nobles, the situation is different now. Yesterday's defeat was the key. Now if those traitors in the Lot Kingdom want to defect again, they should consider whether it is more likely that the Allied Forces will capture Lot or that they will evacuate.

And even if they could really capture Lot, it wouldn't be now. Once the coalition forces left, they would be liquidated.

Ryan pondered for a moment. After the war was over, the alliance between the Kingdom of Lot and Augustus had to be re-established immediately. It would be the time to defeat Elvian when she sent a large army.

He switched to the character interface of 'Weinei' and did not give any orders. Instead, he synchronized the latest situation of 'Xia Li' to 'Weinei', allowing the latter to decide what to do next.

And 'Weine's' decision was to publicly issue a recall order to Karkat.

The order mentioned that Karkat had made great contributions in defending the Morte Line, and she would bestow corresponding honors on him. As for the imperial troops under his command, they were required to return to their corresponding garrisons as required.

Because most of these troops were mobilized by the old emperor from various borders, the only ones truly responsible for Barron's safety were the 50,000 men under Holman.

If Karkat comes back, everything will be easy. But when he comes to the imperial capital, won't he be at her mercy?

If he didn't return... then Karkat would be in trouble too. While 'Vene' wasn't emperor yet, his position was almost certain. Now that all parties were supporting him, how many of his soldiers would be willing to join him in the rebellion? Furthermore, after so many days, their food and fodder supplies were running low, and one could imagine the soldiers' anxiety.

As for Karcart really rebelling, he would never dare to do so. He had not declared it and was not absolutely sure. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to take advantage of the soldiers in his hands to gain some benefits. Unfortunately, Ryan didn't buy it at all. Unless Karcart was replaced by Alvin, the situation would be another matter.

"What a complete idiot."

Ryan had already anticipated what this guy would do next.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the day when 'Vene' issued the order, Maganna came to see him.

"That guy Karkat actually said he wanted to join me?" The Grand Duke held a secret magical document in his hand. "Lian, what do you think?"

Ryan thought to himself, I see with my eyes. He really wanted to tell Karlcat, in this contest, the referees are all my people, how can you win?

"I think so. Agree and then go negotiate terms with Wei Nei."

"Hmm? You're going to hand Karkat over to Viney? He has nearly 200,000 troops at his disposal."

Maganna was mainly thinking that if she had the help of these 200,000 troops, the throne would be secure with just a single order.

Ryan said, "Grand Duke, don't be fooled by that guy. Two hundred thousand people? How many of them are really willing to join him in the rebellion? Viney has claimed to have taken the throne, and most of the imperial army obeys the royal family. It was fine before that Viney didn't give orders, but now she's openly doing it. Otherwise, why do you think Karkat contacted you?"

"I suspect he's been waiting for you or Casradi to win him over. He'll either join you or use this as capital to join Weine, either way making a killing. Unexpectedly, none of you made a move, and now he's at his wit's end."

Magna was stunned: "Isn't that a complete fool?"

Ryan spread his hands: "Greed makes people lose their minds. Once they have power, they will think they are awesome, but in fact they are not."

"Actually, Grand Duke, you have another option. That is to seize this opportunity to launch a mutiny. By promising benefits to Karkat and controlling his men, even if they don't help, the Western Frontier Army alone has a chance of conquering Barron. The problem is that after the war, there will be civil unrest, doubts, and hostility from the Janus Gate. There will be a series of problems. In short, the throne will be empty."

Magna was silent for a moment.

"So, why don't I stay in the West?"

"You can also ignore all that. The empire will be in chaos for a few years at most, and it will always be stable if it relies on iron-blooded suppression. Alternatively, you can secretly win over Casladi and ascend to power in her name. Having one more claim will save you a lot of trouble."

"..."

Ryan said this to actually make Maganna aware of her situation. Now is indeed a good opportunity, but Augustus will also be left in tatters because of it.

Ryan will have to make this clear sooner or later. If he can't even make a thorough analysis, what kind of military advisor is he? It's even more suspicious.

But then again, he had been thinking about how to make the Grand Duke completely give up the throne and concentrate on developing the Western Territory. Unfortunately, although the Grand Duke trusted him, he was not a small figure after all, otherwise this matter would be easy to handle.

"Forget it, let Venetian live freely for a while." Magna waved her hand. "What this Grand Duke wants is everyone's conviction, not forced submission. Besides, even if I'm not the emperor, I'm still the uncrowned emperor, hehe~"

"That's right, the Grand Duke is this." Ryan gave a thumbs up.

Maganna put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest: "I, the Grand Duke, disdain to cooperate with such a villain."

Ryan lowered his head, thinking that he was indeed the Grand Duke, the Great Evil Shield.

"Please talk to Vine about this for me... Oh, Ryan, come with me!"

Maganna greeted him, then ran back to her tent impatiently.

As soon as he entered, Ryan saw a pile of messy clothes, and they were dresses. A casual glance showed there were at least twenty sets.

The engagement party is tomorrow night, and Maganna is worrying about what to wear. She is not very good at this.

"Is this the start of the personal character plot line?"

Ryan glanced at the small piece of clothing thrown on the bed and thought, Grand Duke, you really treat me as a brother.

"Or...Bai Si?" he said.

Magna tilted her head while holding the black dress.

"Ryan, do you like Baisi?

"Uh..."

"Then I'll try."

White hair, black dress, white stockings...Ryan's eyes lit up when he saw Maganna after she changed her clothes.

"This... is it okay?" Maganna stood in front of Ryan and tugged at her dress and socks. She had never worn white stockings before, so she was a little uncomfortable with it for the first time.

"awesome!"

“Ah? Y-really?”

Looking at Ryan's burning eyes, Maganna lowered her head, feeling a little panicked for some reason.
