Can't I develop my own character?

'Avril' was mixed up in the Knights, and Elvian's mission for her was to just stay in the Knights and never venture deep into the enemy camp. After all, her value alone was worth thousands of troops.

However, Avril didn't listen to a word and just charged forward on the battlefield. She was originally an adjutant, and the main commander was a fifth-level Moonlight Knight. However, the latter protected her with sparks and lightning all the way, fearing that any bullet would hurt Avril.

Not only that, wherever 'Avril' is, the Moonlight Cavalry's combat power instantly increases. In addition to the skill bonus of the Star Knight, there is a high probability that it is because 'Avril''s' popularity is too high.

Ryan finally understood what the star effect was. This scene made him sigh again that it was a pity that 'Avril' did not pass through the channel of desire.

Facing the Moonlight Knights' charge, the Casolda Kingdom's army showed no will to resist. Even if they had, it would have been useless due to the vast disparity in strength between the two sides. Furthermore, the Federation had only just been established, and its military hadn't yet been fully mobilized, unlike Wildea, which had been planning this for a long time.

Only after Casolda lost three cities in succession did the Northern Federation's army gather.

One advantage of having more countries is that there are more people. Ten countries each contributed 20,000 people, and an army of 200,000 was assembled in a blink of an eye. Following the order of "Mortis", they charged towards the Moonlight Knights.

She herself continued to delve into the chaotic space to complete advanced tasks.

"Even if these 200,000 troops are annihilated, the Moonlight Knights will have to pay a heavy price. They can then go back and annihilate Monica's 30,000 Moonlight Cavalry..."

As long as the Moonlight Knights are defeated, the remaining troops of Wildea will no longer be a concern.

Ryan's ultimate goal is to help the Northern Federation become the second largest force in the northern continent.

He did not intend to merge the Northern Federation into Augustus. The reason was simple: if a force was too large, it would easily breed various problems within it.

And it is also easier to be feared by others.

For example, being feared by the Gate of Janus.

There is no problem in dividing the Northern Continent into two. After all, this is the original situation, and this is also the reason that Lin Qi can use to persuade the Janus Gate to help the Northern Federation.

Although Lin Qi is also a High Lord of Augustus, no one says that High Lords should work for the Empire, right? Look at Maganna, she's also a High Lord, and she's always thinking about killing the Empress and becoming Emperor herself!

"They all take orders from me anyway, so splitting into two is even better. From now on, the Northern Federation will openly fight with Augustus, while the two empresses will secretly work together to make money. It's perfect."

the other side.

On the way from Barron to the Northern Federation.

In a luxurious carriage, 'Lin Qi' stood in front of a mirror and talked to a shadow in the mirror.

"...You mean, we can take this opportunity to secretly support the Northern Federation and replace Wildea?" said the shadow in the mirror.

Her features were not clearly visible, but one could vaguely make out that she was tall and large.

"Yes, Pope." Lin Qi bowed his head slightly. "With the establishment of the Wildea Federation, Queen Elvian's ambitions are clear. If she were to take over the Northern Federation, the situation in the Northern Continent would undoubtedly change. When Augustus and Wildea go to war, no matter who wins, the Northern Continent will have a behemoth that even the Church will find difficult to suppress."

"But even if the Northern Federation wins, who can guarantee they won't end up like Wildea? Furthermore, the Augustus Empire's Holy Blood Army has already taken action. Will they accept this?"

"Don't worry about this, Pope. The person in charge of the Northern Federation has already contacted me secretly and asked for help."

"The one in charge? Queen Diana?"

"Yes."

"She...isn't from the City of Desire?"

"She's not. Although the people of the City of Desire did want to kill her, Queen Diana used a backhanded move to kill them and turned the tables on them. Now she has infiltrated them, and the people of the City of Desire think she is one of their own."

"Oh? Interesting. She's an ambitious and scheming person." The Pope chuckled. "She's in trouble, and the Church can indeed help. What about the Augustus Empire?"

"Don't worry about that. As High Lord, I will propose that Emperor Venetian stop sending troops to the Northern Federation. The Empire is now heading west, south, and east again, which is not sensible."

"You alone? I'm afraid that's not possible."

"And Ryan, he and I are friends. He should agree and convince Magna to agree as well. After all, Magna doesn't want to watch Vine become increasingly powerful."

"Lian...I heard from Leah that you two met in Berman City? And you were very close?"

"..."

"Don't worry, I'm not punishing you. Even if you're a saint, it won't hurt to have more friends. Just do as you say. I'll have Lild fully cooperate with you."

The Pope's voice was calm and ethereal, as if it was not in the same time and space.

"Lin Qi, the world is changing. I've glimpsed some shocking secrets from the distant past. Perhaps one day, the separation between the real world and the chaotic dimension will be broken. When that time comes, a new era will arrive. The Janus Gate must ensure that its current status remains unshaken. Do you understand?"

"Pope, what do you see?"

Sylvia opened her lips slightly and said, "A corner of the War of the Gods."

She vaguely remembered that in that grand scene, there was a name that spanned time and space, and the existence of that name was even greater than that of Janus!

Yes, Janus is most likely not the beginning of everything in the Rhea continent, and is most likely not the creator god!

"Baalshat of the Gods...it is a forbidden name."

Lilvia murmured.

...

The update is late... I have a little fever, took an ibuprofen and slept for a while, but I am not in a good condition. I may need to go for an IV drip tonight. The big guys in the character design group have done a lot, I will take some time to post it later.

Possible leave

As you can see in the picture, I was on an IV drip yesterday. Everyone in the group knows about it. I barely wrote one chapter yesterday. My fever was 39.5 in the middle of the night. I took some antipyretics, and it was 39 again at noon. I just finished the IV drip and went back to rest. I'll see how I feel this afternoon.

I may be able to write a chapter, but I will slow down the updates for the next few days and strive to reach 10,000 words. I will use the remaining time to rest or save some drafts. That's it.

I made three character designs and posted them in the works-related section. I am not very satisfied with the others yet. Thanks to Zhufuzhifeng, 2bb, Quantitative Production Baimao and other big guys for their help.

Chapter 133: Witch's Hall - Xia Li Level 5: There is a kind of beauty called value! [1w1]

"Barshat again? What the hell?"

Ryan watched the conversation between his first wife and the Pope, and was a little curious about what this so-called corner of the War of the Gods was. However, although 'Lin Qi' asked, Lilvia seemed to be determined to be a riddler.

"You'll know later."

As expected, the riddler's standard answer will be known later.

The riddle man cannot get the house!

"Forget it, at least the Janus Gate can be entered smoothly."

With the Pope's permission, Ryan's next plan became easier.

After Lin Qi finished talking with Lilvia, he immediately sent out a cloud-piercing arrow, secretly dispatching the forces of the Gate of Janus into the Northern Alliance.

At the same time, 'Motis' summoned the kings of the federation countries and set the time to gather in Adkis in three days, on the pretext of searching for the 'Old Ancient Ruins' plan.

Because 'Mortis' received news from the City of Desire, the elder asked her to look for the Ancient Ruins of Desire. Judging from the clues provided by the latter, the Ancient Ruins of Desire are within the jurisdiction of the Northern Federation... In fact, Ryan knew that this was the place where Jonathan was sent before.

Ryan naturally had no intention of letting 'Motis' look for any ancient relics, but he did have the courage to call those congressmen over and kill them under the pretext of looking for ancient relics, and he was very brave.

Only when these congressmen die can 'Motis' lead the Northern Federation to whitewash itself.

As for the executioner Ryan, he has everything ready, and that is - 'Charlie'.

It just so happened that 'Xia Li's' fifth-level advancement mission had arrived, and it still involved killing people. However, unlike the previous mission of killing 88888 people, this time she only had to kill 8... well, 8 fifth-level demons or transcendents.

So far, 'Xia Li' has only killed three demons, and they were found after searching for a long time in the cracks of the other world. High-level demons are hard to find, and they have high IQs, so they won't easily come out to fight with you.

Why would they fight you in a single duel in the chaotic space? With a wave of his hand, a horde of demons came charging towards him.

I have to say that the Blood Knight's stats are really beautiful. Although he hasn't advanced to level five yet, the attributes of a large number of skill effects stacked together even exceed those of many level six transcendents.

However, after 'Xia Li' counterattacked and killed all the demon army, the high-level demons hid themselves when they saw that the situation was not right, and there was no place to kill them.

As for these three, Xia Li had to clear out two chaotic spaces before killing them.

The efficiency is too low, which is not in line with Xia Li's usual style.

Isn’t it a coincidence that all those Desire Senators of the Northern Federation are at level five?

I am going to kill the fifth-level one, and to be a member of parliament one must be at the fifth level. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?

As for whether he could kill the enemy or not, it was not within Ryan's consideration at all. To put it bluntly, even if it was a fifth-order transcendent like Kant, if Charlie went to fight him, it would be like a father beating his son.

In fact, Ryan was quite confused. Although both of them were chosen by God, Xia Li's attributes were far superior to Lin Qi's. Although Lin Qi's expertise was indeed different, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Blood Knight combined with the Blood God's Chosen was simply too buggy.

Ryan had previously expected that after Mortis was upgraded, he would be able to compete with Charlie. After all, the Wild Hunt was a racial god, and she was born to be the chosen one after her job change.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is still a big gap in attributes. Unless 'Mortis' is directly promoted to Wild Hunter later, it is unlikely to catch up.

So, the Blood God is the coolest. Who agrees and who disagrees?

...

'Xia Li' arrived at Silvermoon City in the afternoon. When the five thousand Holy Blood Army stationed there, the atmosphere in the city immediately changed.

Mysterious patterns were outlined on the blood-red armor, and the flag of the Holy Blood Army was flying high in the sky. Wherever it went, even the air seemed to become sticky, and children didn't dare to cry out loud when they saw it.

However, under the strict orders of 'Xali', the Holy Blood Army only stayed in the city in an orderly manner and did not take a single needle or thread from the people of Silvermoon City.

In fact, due to the disintegration of the Northern Union and the outbreak of civil war, the country that is doing the best now is the Kingdom of Lot, a member state that was kicked out long ago, and the Holy Blood Army has indeed made an indelible contribution to maintaining order in the kingdom.

Of course, Amabena welcomed the arrival of "Charlie" with open arms. Anjia, who had seen the strength of the Holy Blood Army, also had no idea. But Monica, who was hiding in the city, was eager to try. She secretly found Ryan and asked him whether he should take this opportunity to get rid of "Charlie".

The 30,000 Moonlight Knights she led have dispersed and sneaked into the Kingdom of Lot. Under Ryan's cover, no one knows where they are. As long as Monica gives the order, the Moonlight Knights will be able to surround Silvermoon City by this time tomorrow.

Killing 'Charlie' caused the Holy Blood Army to collapse, and Monica was indeed moved.

"She's less than level five!" Monica said with high morale. "I'm level six, and we have thirty thousand Moonlight Knights. With our internal and external forces working together, thirty thousand versus five thousand, we have the advantage!"

"Lady Monica, do you have any ideas? Doesn't he have anything to save his life? What if we fail to capture him? You attack the Holy Blood Army first, and then the Augustus Empire army advances eastward, leaving Wildea vulnerable from both sides?"

"I've gone through so much trouble to finally stabilize the Augustus Empire's offensive rhythm. We must not cause trouble for Her Majesty the Queen."

After Ryan's reasonable analysis, Monica finally decided not to act rashly.

After all, Wildea is currently fighting fiercely with the Northern Federation, and the main forces are all on the front line. If the August Empire gets involved at this time, it will indeed be disadvantageous to them.

In fact, Ryan really wanted to say that someone like you might not be able to beat 'Xia Li'. If you wait for 'Xia Li' to successfully advance, then you can basically beat her at will.

However, Ryan did not plan to attack Monica now, because Charlie would have to rush to Adkis to complete the advanced mission.

Next, 'Xia Li' will cooperate with 'Motis' to kill the members of the City of Desire. At the same time, the Janus Gate forces led by 'Lin Qi' will also attack the desire forces in the ten federal member states. After this wave is over, the Northern Federation will basically be completely cleansed.

There would definitely be some damage, after all, with all the bosses being ousted at once, chaos would surely reign. However, with the establishment of a federal state and the presence of the Janus Gate, it shouldn't fall apart immediately.

"Once the Federation is completely cleansed, the next step is to get rid of Wildea... Well, after taking down Wildea, I can enter the Luna Ruins and get the advancement fragments."

Although Ryan thought about finding an excuse to let Elvian let him enter the ruins, it would probably be very troublesome if the secret was discovered. Wildea would be captured sooner or later anyway, so it would be better to wait until the situation stabilized.

There are also fragments of Janus' headquarters. Lilvia is talking mysteriously, and Ryan doesn't want to be targeted by the other party at this time.

beep.

"Sir Ryan, the Elsa you mentioned is here!"

Amabena's voice came from outside the door.

After three days of development, 'Elsa' had reached the second level, so Ryan arranged for her to come and take up a position in the Lot army.

The main reason is that the Kingdom of Lot is too "poor". This poverty is not only reflected in the economy, but also in the talent and resource reserves.

Because there has been a rumor that "Lot is going to be destroyed" for some time, which has led to the loss of a large number of outstanding talents. The extraordinary people are one aspect, and talents in other fields, look at what kind of misfits the city government has recruited!

After comparing it with the Augustus Empire, Ryan's blood pressure soared.

The most important thing now is naturally to arm the army, and find a way to get the money later. Although the country is poor, the nobles in the major territories are still very wealthy. Ryan will find an opportunity to ask Amabena to treat him to a meal and accept him as a dog.

Don't want to be it?

You can try it.

Money is not a problem, but only an excellent general can improve the quality of the army. After all, Anjia is a political management talent, and her value is more reflected in urban development, so Ryan decided to let "Elsa" manage the army of the Kingdom of Lot.

Although... Elsa is a little bit unsuitable in terms of her professional characteristics, she does have strength and potential after all. It doesn't matter if she turns the Kingdom of Lot into a succubus army, as long as she can fight.

We should first improve the quality of the army, so that they can have guns and cannons and become stronger. Then we will see who will dare to say that "Lotte is doomed because of Amabena".

But Ryan was still speechless. He really wanted to know what kind of person Amabena's father was to manage the kingdom so badly. Why didn't you ask someone for help?

Sure enough, Amabena's evaluation of him as a "spendthrift father" was not without reason. Although Amabena herself was not much better, this father and daughter pair could squander even the foundation of the Augustus Empire. No wonder the people of Lot had no ideas in their hearts and just wanted to wait and see when the country would be destroyed.

"Ryan, where did she come from?"

After inviting Elsa into the castle, Amabena looked her up and down and exclaimed in a low voice, "She is so beautiful."

Beauty is not just about appearance. Elsa's charm comes from within. What is the charm of a mature older sister? Her words and smiles can easily charm people, and she is truly attractive to both men and women.

"Queen, you are very beautiful too." Aisha chuckled.

"Ah, I, how can I be as beautiful as you, hehe~"
