Can't I develop my own character?

Page 191

Ryan thought to himself, yes, you have a big heart, but not as big as Amarela's.

"Why do you say that? It's simple. The August Empire has the Iron Blood Legion and the Imperial Regular Army, especially the recently rising Holy Blood Army. One of them can defeat ten of them. Queen, honestly, if the number of people is the same, can the Moonlight Knights defeat the Holy Blood Army?"

"...cannot."

Although she didn't want to admit it, Elvian knew it was true.

"Right. So what do we have? The Northern Federation may appear to have a larger territory than Augustus, but overall it's still a disorganized mess. Once the Augustus army crosses the Lot Kingdom, they'll be defeated piecemeal. Therefore, the Lot Kingdom can only remain neutral and side with Augustus. Your Majesty's top priority is to quickly establish the Wildea Federation and integrate the Northern Federation."

"Not only that, in the war with the August Empire, we must first eliminate the Holy Blood Army, because the Holy Blood Army is still growing. If their number reaches 50,000, no one will be able to stop them."

Elvian's heart trembled.

Ryan's words really touched her heart.

Isn’t this what she has been most worried about recently?

She was confident that she could defeat the Iron Blood Army, but she couldn't win against the Holy Blood Army. She couldn't win at all!

"Our greatest advantage right now is our numbers, so we must fight swiftly and decisively!" Ryan said firmly, "Your Majesty! Every step we take, one wrong move, and everything will be lost. The edifice will crumble in an instant! The kingdom may seem powerful, but it's perilous at every turn. The Augustus Empire has wicked ambitions. This is truly a critical moment for our survival!"

Elvian was moved: "I understand everything you said... So, what's your plan?"

"Although I'm a commoner, I also have a heart of honor. As I said just now, we'll first establish a federation and integrate the Northern Alliance. Then, we'll quickly launch a war. Before that, I'll have Lot pretend to ally himself with Augustus and lure the Holy Blood Army into the territory. Then, we'll catch them in a trap and eliminate most of them. Oh, right! Especially that Charlie. If we can eliminate her, the Holy Blood Army won't be a concern anymore."

Elvian nodded slightly.

"...indeed."

If Ryan can deal with the Kingdom of Lot and cooperate with her to deal a heavy blow to the Holy Blood Army, the advantage will become theirs.

This Reid is thoughtful, brave and resourceful. It seems that his years of traveling have broadened his horizons. His ideas are indeed bold and careful. I must have been wrong before... Elvian thought secretly.

"Ryder, you've thought of this. It seems you've really considered Wildea seriously. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard at all." Ryan shook his head, his eyes sparkling. "Everything is for the Queen. Avril always told me that no matter where I am, I must remember that I am from Wilderia. I remember that."

What is Grandpa Ryan, the Queen’s greatest confidant?

That's it!

"I see. If all the people of Wildea were as righteous as you, there would be no problem in unifying the Northern Continent."

Elvian chuckled, and she found Ryan more and more pleasing to the eye.

Avril really has good taste. As expected, how could the person chosen by the Moon Goddess be interested in a useless guy?

"If we can eliminate the Holy Blood Legion, then the rest of Augustus's forces won't be a concern. Three years! I'm confident we can completely conquer the Augustus Empire in no more than three years!"

"Uh..."

Ryan's face was filled with black lines. "What the hell, you guys need three years to do anything, right? Without that three years, you can't accomplish anything?"

"Ryder, I will seriously consider what you said. I leave the Kingdom of Lot in your hands... Go call Monica in. I have something to tell her."

"As ordered."

...

crunch~

Ryan pushed open the door and saw Monica waiting at the door.

"The Queen lets you in."

Monica gave him a questioning look, then walked in and closed the door.

"His Majesty."

"Monica, from today on, you will help Reid and secretly handle the affairs of the Lot Kingdom."

"?"

Monica was stunned: "Your Majesty, Ryder..."

"He's from Wilderia," Elvian said calmly. "There are some things you don't need to know. You should agree to whatever he decides to do from now on. Everything is for the sake of the great unification of the Northern Alliance. However, you must report his situation to me daily. If you discover he has any ill intentions, tell me immediately."

Although she trusted Ryan for the time being, the matter was of great importance, so Elvian still had to be careful.

"Yes."

Monica understood.

This Reid might be a hidden chess piece arranged by His Majesty, but he might have the intention of rebellion.

Yes, considering the situation, even Amabena listens to him, which is equivalent to directly controlling a kingdom, so his ambition will naturally expand.

"Okay, you can leave now. Remember, your relationship with Reid must not be known to outsiders."

After giving the instructions, Elvian turned off the relic.

She sat on the throne, thinking quietly.

"I didn't expect Ryder to have such talent. His righteousness is touching. I'd better not tell Avril yet. If it's true, once the Wildea Federation is established, I will give him a dukedom and use him wisely in the future."

QQ: 8 1 4 9 0 3 7 98

"If it's fake... then let there be no such person in the world. Such a traitor is not worthy of Avril's trust."

She had originally planned to tell Reid about Avril and expose his hypocritical mask, but now it seems that it is not what she thought. Since Amabena trusts Reid so much, why doesn't she take the opportunity to take over the Kingdom of Lot?

Previously, they had thought of forming an alliance, but it was still very inconvenient after all. If the Kingdom of Lot went back on its word, the Moonlight Knights would be in danger if they entered its territory.

Therefore, taking it down is the safest way!

Of course, the premise is that Ryan is truly on her side, which seems to be a sure thing at the moment, but...

"That guy, Ryder, is very meticulous and a bit dishonest. Amabena must have been deceived by him... Alas~ Avril is honest, these two... don't seem to be a good match."

"But Avril is looking like she won't leave Ryder easily. What should we do?... Forget it, let's just observe for a while."

Just thinking about it.

A figure walked in from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty." Alford bowed. "You are looking for me?"

"Teacher, I plan to open a joint meeting of the Northern People and propose the establishment of a federation."

Alford was stunned. "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Lot hasn't been resolved yet. Isn't it a bit... too hasty?"

"That's fine. I have other plans for the Lot Kingdom. Teacher, the August Empire is recovering too quickly. There are still hostile forces from the Western Barbarians and the Southern Territory. If we wait until the Western Territory conquers the prairie and the situation in the Southern Territory stabilizes, we won't be able to win with our strength."

Elvian said in a deep voice, "More importantly, the Holy Blood Army is too terrifying. Right now, they are small in number, and the Moonlight Knights can still defeat them. But once the Holy Blood Army grows to the same size as the Moonlight Knights..."

"We're bound to lose." Alford lowered his head. "I've considered this, but Wildea is currently caught up in the vortex of competing with the August Empire for Lot. The other members of the United Nations may not be as determined as before."

"I think it's quite the opposite. Since the war hasn't started yet, Wildea still has room to maneuver. If we wait until after the war to bring up the federation, other countries might have second thoughts."

If a war breaks out, Wildea won't have as much energy to focus on this matter.

"In that case, I will get started right away and strive to establish the Wildea Federation as quickly as possible."

Although Alford was a little worried, things had come to this point and Augustus would not give them any more time.

Once the Holy Blood Army's cavalry crosses the Kingdom of Lot, the Northern Alliance will be defeated one by one by the Empire if it cannot unite as one.

"Go, teacher." Elvian said confidently, "A new era is coming, and the future of the Northern Continent will definitely belong to Wildea."

...

the other side.

On the streets of Silvermoon City.

Monica pretended to turn around with Ryan, then began to turn back towards the castle.

"Your Majesty told me to listen to you, so, Lord Reid, what are you going to do next?" Monica is a loyal knight. Since Elvian has spoken, she will definitely obey the order.

This made Ryan feel less worried.

Old Joe is unreliable. I don't know where he has gone. Without him, the operation to "capture" Monica may not be successful, so now is the best situation.

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. I'll have Amabena contact Augustus later. Our goal is to destroy the Holy Blood Army, so it must be Xia Li who signs the contract with the Kingdom of Lot. Wait for her to arrive and kill her. That's the greatest help we can offer the Queen."

"Get rid of Charlie!" Monica perked up. She was no longer sleepy when she talked about this, because the last time the coalition forces attacked, they were beaten to a pulp by the Holy Blood Army. Now the entire Northern Alliance said that the Moonlight Knights could not be the opponent of the Holy Blood Army.

Monica was not convinced.

Last time, there was an information gap, and the Moonlight Cavalry only had a thousand people. It didn't mean anything that they were dealt with preemptively by "Xia Li".

This time she came to the Kingdom of Lot, not only to complete the Queen's mission, but also to restore the reputation of the Knights!

The Holy Blood Army can be defeated in a snap of a finger!

"Sir Ryder, I will fully cooperate with you. When Xia Li arrives in Silvermoon City, I will let her know how terrifying the Moonlight Knights are!"

"Oh! Monica is so powerful. You are nothing to the Holy Blood Army." Ryan gave a thumbs up. "Just Charlie, I will definitely beat her down!"

It seems that the second wife has a very high hatred value in the Northern Alliance. I have to be careful when going out in the future.

"Sir Ryder, I'm counting on you."

"Loyalty goes without saying."

After the two separated, Ryan returned to the castle.

Since there is no need to capture Monica, Ryan plans to let Delia investigate the extent of the layout of the City of Desire in the Northern Alliance.

He had previously tricked Elvian into establishing the Federation as soon as possible in order to force the people of the City of Desire to take action. After all, he is now in the dark and his enemies are also in the dark. This is not acceptable. Only by letting Wildea fight with the City of Desire first, then he will have a chance.

Fight, fight, turn Beizhong United into a big shit pit, and then I will use my trump card.

Ryan hummed a song and found Delia, whose magic restrictions had been removed. However, because of the contract, she was completely obedient to Ryan.

"...Finding other locations in the City of Desire might be difficult." Delia played with her hair. "This operation was directly ordered by the City Lord. None of the councilors are in contact with each other. I don't even know which councilors are assigned to the mission."

"If you know that, then why would I need you to come up with a plan?" Ryan said disdainfully, "Have you become stupid because of your lust?"

Delia: "..."

I'm just telling you my situation, why are you scolding me so harshly?

Humph, you actually said such words. This is disrespectful to the God of Desire. Be careful of divine punishment.

"I can try to investigate, but whether I can succeed or not is hard to say."

“Are there many councillors?”

"Many, countless."

"No wonder you can become one."

Ryan suddenly realized that being a councillor or something like that was not an important position. It was not surprising that one of the 1,800 positions fell on Delia's head, but it was indeed hard to be sure.

It seems that we can only try to look for it first, and find as much as we can. The worst case scenario is to wait for the federal conference to be convened.

But by that time, Wildea might be in a passive position.

Alas~ Damn loyalty, why do I care so much about the Queen?

Forget it, let the small accounts handle the troublesome matters.

After Delia left, Ryan returned to the room and prepared to look at the information of the Northern Union, maybe he could find the traitor from it.

After all, he has always had considerable experience in being a mole.

"Sir Ryan~~"

Amabena pushed open the door and squeezed in cautiously.

"Why didn't you go to dinner?"

"I ate something on the way back, so I'm not hungry." Ryan looked at the time and realized it was already past seven o'clock.

Thump~

Two big lumps pressed on my head.

Then Amabena began to massage his shoulders.
