Can't I develop my own character?

Not to mention that there is still the trump card of the Overwatch Legion that has not yet been used.

If the Northern Federation doesn't find a solution, it will really be destroyed.

There are many reports about the existence of the Northern Federation, the "giant" of the Northern Continent. It has the largest territory in the Northern Continent and is composed of many national alliances, but it always suffers the most severe attacks.

The Northern Alliance's "civil strife" had just ended, and they had finally breathed a sigh of relief from the threat of the Augustus Empire. As a result, just as they came to their senses, the neighboring East Continent attacked.

Less than two months after its establishment, it has been hit by crises of "national destruction" one after another, so much so that some people are wondering if the Northern Federation has been cursed by God. They should disband and regroup under another name to get rid of evil.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

In the city of Burren, on the main road outside Queen Street, a row of gorgeous carriages drove towards the castle.

"The meeting is about to begin."

"I never thought I'd be able to see a high-level meeting of the Northern Continent held in my lifetime, and it's led by our Augustus."

"That's right, Her Majesty is much more powerful than the old emperor."

"I used to think the Empress was young, but now it seems she's truly capable. Perhaps this time we can seize the opportunity to force the Northern Federation to submit. From now on, Augustus will be the true overlord of the Northern Continent!"

"Don't be too happy too soon. The threat from the Arcadia Empire is still there."

"Humph! Just Arcadia, we'll make sure they never return!"

"Look! The Northern Federation's carriage!"

A luxuriously decorated two-horse carriage passed by. The outside of the carriage was decorated with gold trim, and the front was decorated with the falcon emblem that symbolized the Northern Federation. A group of soldiers wearing heavy black armor followed the carriage.

Neat, serious, solemn... The carefully selected accompanying soldiers are heavy armored soldiers from the hunter corps. Taking the bounty hunter team as an example, the duties of these heavy armored soldiers in the team are front-line defense and charging.

The entire Hunter Corps created by 'Motis' also includes the 'Archer Corps', 'Assassin Corps', 'Mage Corps', 'Warrior Corps', etc. The training mode is different from that of ordinary armies. It mainly focuses on the mutual cooperation between each profession, rather than relying on any ace legion to directly kill the opponent.

The advantage of this combination is that it can maximize the capabilities of each position role. The disadvantage is that some legions have too high requirements on the quality of soldiers. For example, the magician corps also requires extraordinary people to serve, resulting in a very obvious gap in the number of people. In addition, the training difficulty is greater than that of ordinary armies.

But 'Motis' is not in a hurry. Anyway, the Northern Federation's army has almost nothing to show for itself. It is all built from scratch, so why not lay a foundation towards this goal first?

As for the threat from Arcadia... well, she not only has some friendship with Ryan, but also with the Empress of Augustus. I believe it shouldn't be a problem to ask the Empire for help.

Under the gaze of the citizens of Barron, the carriage entered Queen Street. Because of what happened some time ago, the entire Queen Street is now in a semi-closed state, and only a few nobles and specific people can enter.

Soon, the other people attending the meeting also arrived at the castle.

"Teacher, do you think Her Majesty Venetian will agree to join forces with the Northern Federation?"

In the corridor inside the castle.

Casradi wore a lavender dress with wide white lace cuffs and a delicate silver flower pin on her chest. She looked elegant and peaceful.

"It should, but the result does not affect the negotiation process. The key lies in what price the Northern Federation is willing to pay." Hainuo was still wearing a milky white magic robe. She did not like aristocratic attire. She would wear the bishop's attire provided by the Janus Gate, which was a robe woven with silver and white. It was a bit too solemn compared to the magic robe. She would only wear it when she was at the headquarters of the Janus Gate.

"I never imagined that the Northern Continent would be forced to join forces with Arcadia." Casradi shook his head slightly. "Technological advancement has a significant impact on warfare, but in the battle against the Chaos Realm, Transcendents are still the primary force."

She thought of the scene that night when tens of thousands of musket bullets turned into rubber bullets after being fired. It was a power that was simply incomprehensible. The extraordinary and rules were the dominant forces in this world.

However, there are many things to consider at the national level. After all, the number of extraordinary people is still too small. In a large-scale war, a good weapon can indeed affect the situation.

Casladi suddenly thought of an old classmate whom he met when he was studying at St. Marian College. He was a mysterious race from the Eastern Continent.

"Teacher, do you still remember Kavanaugh?" she asked.

"Cavanaugh Sedlin?" Heino pondered for a moment. "The girl from the dwarf tribe?"

"Yes, I helped her conceal her identity at the beginning, and thanks to the teacher's help, she was able to study smoothly in the academy."

"After graduation she left and no one knew where she went."

"Yes, but she left me a token, saying that I could find her if anything happened." Casradi took out a mysterious little copper hammer.

The dwarves were mysterious creatures from the previous era, and the world knew very little about them. Casradi had only seen fragments of information about them in ancient royal books, and it was Cavanaugh who told her about them later.

In fact, the dwarves were one of the first races to follow the Earth Goddess. They were very good at machinery and forging, mastered the mysterious knowledge obtained through the faith in the earth, and were also the loyal guardians of the Earth Temple.

jiu liu ling yi er liu er qi ling

Unfortunately, the dwarves suffered heavy casualties in the War of the Gods and have been hiding in the East Continent to recuperate until now.

Cavanaugh's identity is unknown. Her appearance was completely coincidental. She triggered a certain formation mechanism when entering the ancient ruins for worshiping the Earth Goddess and was spread out. Although she finally returned to the tribe safely, she took this opportunity to persuade the tribe members to come out and see the world - this was her dream since childhood.

She firmly believed that the mechanism was the oracle of the Earth Goddess. The dwarves had been secluded for too long and it was time for them to come out and take a look.

As for Kavanaugh's visit to St. Marian's College, it was also a coincidence. Yes, Ms. Kavanaugh always appears in coincidental places at coincidental times. Although she herself is sometimes helpless, she firmly believes that this must be the guidance of the goddess.

Although the identity of a dwarf is not a taboo on the mainland, it is best to keep it secret. So Casladi forged an identity of a princess knight for Cavanaugh. As for why the knight is so short, no one would be so tactless as to find fault with him. That would be ungentlemanly, and Casladi is the princess of the Augustus Empire and a student of the vice-president.

"Are you going to ask her for help?" Heino saw what Casradi was thinking.

"You can give it a try."

"But the Arcadia Empire is the country that believes in the Earth Goddess. Why should the dwarves help Augustus?"

"Cavanaugh once said that Arcadia was too brutal, and their emperor was bloody and brutal. This directly dispelled the dwarves' intention to be born. Believing in the Earth Goddess doesn't necessarily mean believing in a country. Anyone can believe in the Goddess, right?" Casladi said this with a playful smile: "I can say now, 'Good morning, teacher,' and praise the Earth Goddess."

Hai Nuo smiled helplessly: "Maybe. You can give it a try. If you can really find the dwarves to help, the situation should be much better."

"Ah."

Casradi didn't know if she could help. Perhaps the Empire didn't need it? But this was all she could do.

What she didn't know was that if she told Ryan about this, he would be so excited that he would pick her up and dance a waltz with her.

Because judging from the current situation of the empire, although they have the technology, those stupid scientific researchers simply cannot understand the greatness of the Roman Empire civilization. The existence of the dwarves can be traced back to a time even older than the Roman Empire. Even if they have suffered heavy losses and lost some of their heritage, their technology is still top-notch on the continent.

As they were talking, the two of them walked into the meeting hall and happened to run into 'Motis' at the door.

"Hello, it's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty Emperor Mortis."

Casradi bowed slightly.

"Hello, Prince Casradi."

It was no longer appropriate to call her a princess, so 'Vine' gave Casradi the title of prince, but she had no territory and no real power, but Casradi didn't care.

"Oh, everyone is so punctual."

A voice sounded from behind them.

Ryan walked in with Ina. He looked at Mortis, smiled, and saluted like a gentleman: "Greetings, Your Majesty Mortis."

"Hello Ryan, long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a while. I'm glad the Northern Federation's problems have been resolved smoothly, and I'm even happier that Augustus and the Northern Federation can live in harmony." Ryan smiled, "I hope everything goes well today."

"Praise the Sun God, I think so." 'Motis' nodded slightly, without any extra expression on his face, and then led Duke Shane into the hall.

"Lian, do you know Emperor Mortis?" Casradi asked curiously in a low voice.

"I happened to meet her when I was dealing with Wildea's affairs." Ryan chuckled. "Of course, we've only met. We can't say we have a good relationship, let alone friends."

"She looks quite elegant..." Casradi pondered.

"Like a warrior rather than a queen?" Ryan continued.

"Shh." Casradi raised her index finger and glanced at Mortis, who was sitting at the conference table. "Don't let her hear."

Ryan spread his hands, greeted Heino with a smile, and then walked inside.

There were actually not many people in the spacious meeting hall. Apart from the people from the Northern Federation, some other affiliated countries including Wildea would conduct the meeting through projection. Oh, and also included the Kingdom of Lot. Since Elvian was in the Kingdom of Lot, 'Vine' also invited Queen Amabena.

Well, putting aside the strength of the Kingdom of Lot, at least the geographical location of this country determines that it is indeed important.

At this time, Casladi sat down in the second seat on the left side of the long table. Hainuo stood beside her without sitting down. She turned her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the hall. A black-haired figure strode in.

"Xia Li is here." Casradi also looked over.

"Good morning, Prince Casradi." 'Xia Li' greeted naturally, and then sat down next to Casradi. That was her seat, the third one on the left.

Then it was the fourth seat, Ryan walked over and sat down, and then Heino chose to sit in the fifth seat.

'Motis' sat in the first seat on the right. After a while, 'Lin Qi' appeared. Accompanying her was Bishop Alcino. Originally, the latter was not qualified to appear on such an occasion. It was purely because of 'Lin Qi'.

'Lin Qi' sat behind 'Motis' and nodded to Ryan opposite him, while Alcino also smiled at Ryan.

She knew that after what happened last time, Ryan said a few nice words to Lin Qi. Otherwise, how could she be brought to such a place by Lin Qi?

Being able to attend the meeting meant that Lin Qi had already considered her one of his own, which was equivalent to standing in line. Alcino had no hesitation about this. Even in a church like the Janus Gate, standing in line was a very important and necessary thing.

If she didn't choose to take sides, her position as bishop might be over and she would never be promoted.

As for which side to support, the Saint is so young and talented, what is there to hesitate about?

Swish!

A figure appeared in the first seat on the left.

"Huh? Casradi, why are you sitting in Ryan's seat?" Maganna glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly, "Sit back, Ryan, come over here."

"This is the position His Majesty has arranged." Before Casradi could speak, 'Xali' said, "Why, Grand Duke, do you have any objections?"

"Are you out of your mind? If I had no objection, I wouldn't have said anything."

"Heh~ Who's talking?"

'Charlie' deliberately looked up to find the person who was talking, which made Magna very angry. Ryan hurriedly spoke to comfort her and signaled the two to stop arguing.

"Grand Duke, the people from the Northern Federation are still here." Ryan whispered.

Magna glared at 'Charlie' but said nothing more.

Casradi felt helpless being caught in the middle.

Hainuo was very glad that her seat was not next to Casradi, and it was much more comfortable to sit next to Ryan.

Of course there are also some who feel uncomfortable.

She glanced at Lin Qi across from her and found that she was still as cold as ever. That cold and holy look, huh! It was all an act. What saint? She was clearly a witch! And a demon!

After a while, several figures appeared one after another.

Elvian's projection appeared next to Lin Qi, and she sat in the third seat, followed by Amabena.

"Ryan Ryan!" Amabena waved excitedly when she saw Ryan sitting opposite her.

"Why are you shouting? This is an important occasion!" Maganna glared at Amabena.

Amabena was stunned for a moment: "Who is talking?"

There was a sudden silence in the air for a few seconds.

"Ah, it's Grand Duchess Maganna. Sorry, sorry." Amabena waved her hands embarrassedly. "I didn't see you just now. I'm so sorry."

She really didn't see it.

On the one hand, the Grand Duke is a little short, and on the other hand, her attention is completely on Ryan. This actually has little to do with height.

Ryan saw that veins were popping out of Maganna's head.

He was also helpless, because he knew that Amabena definitely didn't mean it. This idiot didn't have the courage to make fun of Maganna. At most, she would just talk back to Elvian, the down-and-out queen.

"puff."

An inappropriate laugh.

It's from 'Shari'.

"Queen Amabena, you don't have to apologize. The Archduke's hair is indeed a little short. It's normal that you didn't see it."

Maganna hadn't intended to lose her temper at first, but when she heard what Charlie said, she was so angry that the hair on her head stood up.

"Xia Li! I will kill you!!!"

"Oh, whatever you want, provided you come to Barron first."

"Are the internal relations in the Augustus Empire so chaotic?" Amabena asked Elvian in a low voice, but the latter did not say anything, but just gave her a look that looked like an idiot.

Afterwards, several figures appeared one after another. They were all vassal states of the Augustus Empire, similar to the Lot Kingdom. Since it was a high-level meeting of the Northern Continent, "Weinei" still called them in.

These countries basically maintained relatively autonomous governance and only needed to pay a portion of taxes to the Augustan Empire every year.

In fact, Ryan intended to incorporate all these countries into Augustus in order to achieve true unity, unified regime and policy, and then gradually abolish some corrupt systems to advance the imperial civilization.

The reason why there was no unification in the past was because the situation in the northern continent was already chaotic, and the old emperor no longer had the ambition he had in his youth. Unification was bound to encounter obstacles. First of all, the kingdoms were not very willing, and secondly, kingdoms like the Gate of Janus would not want to see the Augustus Empire become stronger and stronger.

But Ryan will eliminate these difficulties little by little, so don't be impatient.

'Vene' has been in office for so long, and has done many things, even killing many nobles, but he has never touched upon issues related to policies and systems, and has never touched upon the cake of the noble groups.

She was accumulating strength so that when the time came to actually perform the operation, she would have to be decisive and quick.
