Can't I develop my own character?

Moreover, some of these people had been secretly contacted by Wildea.

Snapped!

After Nolte signed the contract, he slammed the pen on the table and looked at the others.

Some people hesitated for a moment and then signed.

Some people sign on the left, and some sign on the right.

"Your Excellency the Saint, will the Janus Gate help the Northern Federation stabilize the situation?" someone else asked.

Lin Qi said coldly, "The Janus Gate will only help deal with pagan actions, and will not directly interfere in the military affairs of other countries, nor will it send paladins."

What this means is that you need to take charge of the military affairs yourself.

The man shook his head and chose the contract on the right.

After a while, everyone signed the contract.

Among the nine people, five chose to stay in the Northern Federation, and the remaining four chose to leave.

"Is everything signed?"

'Mortis' glanced at everyone.

Among those five people, she knew very well that except for Nolte, the rest were not actually willing, but they had no choice.

Even if they leave the Northern Federation, will Wildea definitely accept them?

Besides, they also felt that what Nolte said just now made some sense.

After all, the threat of the Augustus Empire is still there.

"Your Majesty Mortis, I'm truly sorry." In the crowd, Kato, who had been arguing with Norte, stood up and said with a bow, "Engels has his own ideas. The royal family held a meeting before coming here to discuss the results. I have no other choice."

"Me too. We have our own difficulties."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Mortis."

The leaders of the four kingdoms stood up and bowed humbly. They were mainly worried that 'Motis' would get angry and order them to be killed.

Although it should be unlikely, after all, this is at the Federal Conference. If 'Motis' really does this, the prestige of the federal head will be completely gone.

"That's fine." Mortis waved his hand. "Since you've made your choice, let's leave. Next up is the Northern Federation meeting."

Katu and the others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could walk out of the hall, an officer hurriedly appeared at the door.

"Your Majesty! Urgent news from the front line!!!"

A smile appeared in Mortis' eyes.

"explain."

The officer shouted, "Latest news from the front: Wildea has retreated!"

"what?!"

wow~

Everyone else in the conference room also stood up, looking surprised.

"Withdrawn?"

"Impossible! How could Wildea withdraw his troops?!" Katu said in horror. "They clearly said they would take down the Northern Federation in one fell swoop. How could they possibly withdraw their troops?"

Mortis said calmly, "Lord Cato, it seems you are well aware of the movements of the Wilder Runner-up. I'd like to know who told you to take over the Northern Federation?"

"Your Majesty Mortis, I...I..."

"It's Alford, right? Haha!" Nort laughed. He bowed to Mortis. "Your Majesty, Alford contacted me secretly a few days ago, trying to get me to lead the Kingdom of Cadia to join Wildea, but I refused. I imagine others have also received his contact."

"Is that so?" Mortis nodded slightly. "Thank you for your hard work, Norte. I have seen your loyalty."

"Everything for the Northern Federation!"

Nolte shouted loudly.

He thought about how before the meeting started, 'Motis' found him and asked him to perform this drama at the meeting.

It turns out that His Majesty 'Motis' already knew that Wildea would withdraw his troops?

"Your Majesty," the officer at the door continued, "According to the latest intelligence, Wildea's Moonlight Knights were attacked by the Holy Blood Army in the Kingdom of Lot, suffering heavy casualties. Even the commander, Monica, is unknown whether she is alive or dead."

Another bomb dropped.

"The Augustus Empire sent troops to Wildea?!" Katu exclaimed.

They were invited by 'Motis' to attend the federal meeting these two days, and had no time to obtain the latest information. After all, these things happened in the Kingdom of Lot, and even if they were to be transmitted, it would take a long time.

"It seems the Wildea Federation can't hold out for much longer." Lin Qi stood up and said to Mortis, "Your Majesty Mortis, I will arrange for the people of the Janus Gate to strengthen the defense of the City of Desire during this period. Our agreement remains in effect."

"Thank you very much, Saint." Mortis nodded. "Once the situation in the Northern Federation stabilizes, I will personally express my gratitude to the Janus Gate."

"No need to thank me, this is all the Pope's orders." Lin Qi glanced at the others vaguely and said calmly, "The Pope said that Wildea has been powerful for too long, and the Northern Continent cannot be occupied by the Augustus Empire. Your Majesty Motis, please feel free to tell me if you need anything."

"Thank you, Pope."

"Well, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb your meeting."

After saying that, Lin Qi walked out of the hall under everyone's gaze.

The air in the conference room suddenly became quiet for a long time.

Mortis looked at the people approaching the door and said calmly, "Why don't you leave?"

"Your Majesty..." Kato swallowed, "I want to... I want to take another look at the contract just now, is that okay?"

"Oh? Is there something else Prince Katu doesn't understand?"

"I signed it hastily and didn't think it through. I just remembered that the final result of the royal discussion seemed to be to firmly support His Majesty and maintain the stability of the Northern Federation!"

"Oh?" Mortis raised his eyelids. "Are you sure?"

Katu nodded frantically: "Sure, it must be like this!"

"Are you the same?" Mortis looked at the remaining three people.

"Your Majesty, it's like this, we didn't see it clearly just now!"

Nolte scoffed: "So many blind people."

Things have changed.

Wildea retreated, and the Augustus Empire was about to attack them.

As for the Northern Federation, according to what Lin Qi said just now, the Gate of Janus will definitely secretly help Motis stabilize the situation and establish a force that can compete with the Augustus Empire.

After all, if the Northern Continent were really taken over by the Augustus Empire, then Augustus would be in a terrible situation, and it is very likely that the war would continue to sweep across other continental plates.

Therefore, the rise of the Northern Federation is almost inevitable!

Can the words of the saint lie to people?

How dare you falsely convey the Pope's will?

"But the contract has been signed. If I allow you to go back on your word, it would be unfair to them." Mortis waved his hand. The guards who had been waiting nearby produced a new contract. "Well, this is the contract I prepared for other countries to join the Federation in the future. Since you are here, please sign it."

Katu and others were stunned. Is this a coincidence?

He picked up the contract and took a look at it, his expression immediately becoming grim.

Looking at the contents of the contract, this is clearly a second-class citizen!

It is a far cry from before in every aspect, and it still has to pay a huge amount of taxes to the federal government every year!

"This... Your Majesty Mortis, isn't this contract a bit too harsh?" Kato said with a gloomy face. "This doesn't even treat us as members of the Federation."

"Is it that I don't consider you members of the Federation, or do you think so?" Mortis snorted coldly. "I said I won't force you. If you agree, sign the new contract. If not, please leave!"

"Your Majesty! Please show some mercy!"

"Your Majesty, we were confused just now. Please give us another chance!"

Looking at Katu and others who were begging desperately, Nort and the other four stood aside, feeling very glad about their previous choice.

If they had chosen to betray the Northern Federation, they would be the ones kneeling on the ground and kowtowing now.

There is no other way. If they leave the Northern Federation, Wildea will be unreliable. Given the current situation of their countries, it is only a matter of time before they are annexed.

Once the Northern Federation annexed them through military action, they would no longer be treated as second-class citizens.

......

"Heh~ Greedy, keep on being greedy."

Here.

Ryan observed the entire process of the federal meeting. In the end, Katu and others signed the contract prepared by "Motis".

After all, this is at least a second-class contract, and they still have a chance to survive. If they really wait until their country is destroyed, there will be nothing left.

As for whether they dare to take the risk of confronting the Northern Federation head-on... Ryan bets that they would not dare to do so. They are all the predecessors of the Northern Federation, so who doesn't understand who?

There were so many countries before the Northern Alliance. If they were all strong and united, there would be no place for the Augustus Empire, and Wildea would not be able to dominate alone.

Years of peace and stability have made most countries within the Northern Union content with the status quo. They feel that no matter how much they develop, they cannot resist Wildea, and they are also easily feared and the first bird to stick its head out will be shot.

So in the long run, these countries have neither strength nor fighting spirit.

With just this, they were expected to fight against the Northern Federation, which had the support of the Janus Gate? Dream on!

What? Janus Gate won't support it? They only deal with paganism?

Who said that? The Saint said she would support it, so she will support it!

The saint will not lie!

"With this, the Northern Federation should be stable internally. However, we still need to formulate a specific federal system and unify the political power as soon as possible."

Ryan rubbed his chin. 'Mortis' wasn't really good at managing these things, but there was no one there right now... How about creating another one? Never mind, let's establish a system first. Having a ruthless Wild Hunt King might not be a bad thing. We still have to fight Desire later. The Northern Federation is quite powerful, so getting more people to manage it would be just as good.

Ryan planned to let 'Mortis' call and see if he could pull other deep-sea hunters over. After all, this race was indeed very strong, and they were all deep-sea hunters, so they could be trusted.

There is no need to rush the affairs of the Northern Federation. Anyway, the Augustus Empire is now the most powerful in the northern continent, and its biggest enemy is itself. What is there to be afraid of?

On the other hand, on Wildea's side, Ryan did not expect Elvian to be so decisive. He withdrew his troops directly on the same day and retreated with nearly 100,000 troops.

In this team, there are as many as 50,000 Moonlight Knights, and the rest are part of the Wildea Kingdom Army and the coalition forces of various countries. The combat power is absolutely formidable. If there were no threat from the August Empire, these 50,000 people would be enough to sweep across various countries.

But the war cannot be ended in an instant. If Wildea cannot take over the Northern Federation in a short time, he must consider the threat of Augustus. The Holy Blood Army is regrouping. If Elvian is still reluctant to withdraw, then Ryan will stab her in the ass.

But it’s time to poke now.

Ryan has already given the attack order to 'Charlie', who will immediately attack the Kingdom of Canster. This country is located in the southwest of the Wildya Federation, connected to the Kingdom of Lot, and has average strength.

Ryan's mission for 'Charlie' was to kill, to kill all the way, just as a training for the Holy Blood Army, to kill until the enemy was scared, to kill until they were terrified.

If Wildea dares to send troops, the Northern Federation will immediately send its army to the border. Ryan's plan is to incorporate all the territories of the former Northern Federation into the Northern Federation, and eventually form a stable and unified federal regime.

Elvian? That's definitely going to be fucked.

Ryan will not let Wildea maintain its independence and autonomy. Even the opponent's army must be eliminated and the Moonlight Knights must be re-established. After all, these people are basically loyal to Elvian now, and once he seizes an opportunity, he will fight back.

The next day, 'Shari' set out with the reorganized Holy Blood Army.

Immediately afterwards, Delia came to report that the City of Desire seemed to have plans to attack the Northern Federation.

"I heard that Elder Bernard has already consulted the city lord. The City of Desire has suffered heavy losses this time, and I don't think they'll let this go."

"What did your city lord say?"

"I don't know." Delia shook her head. "We can't just meet the City Lord whenever we want, but there are quite a few people in the City of Desire advocating an attack right now. Elder Bernard said the Northern Alliance has the Temple of Desire, and when they heard that, they immediately started calling for an attack."

Temple of Desire?

The statues have all been chopped down by 'Xia Li'. Do you want them as gifts?

Then again, if he hadn't gone in there, would the power of the Chosen One of Desire still appear?

Bernard probably knew what was inside, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious and make such a big move for the temple. Maybe the other party also knew the information about the witch?

If his determination is strong enough, Bernard will not let it go even if Mortis ruins his plan this time.

Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, look at you, how much trouble have you gotten yourself into?

"It seems that Lin Qi has to stay there for the time being."
