They don't want me to work harder

Richard originally wanted to go up and help.

As a prince, it makes sense to help the sheriffs catch the bombers.

However, after seeing this description, he hesitated... He remembered that his sheriff's equipment was not very good!

In the past, there was only a stick and a musket. Where did this obviously expensive magic weapon come from?

In the four years since I left, Connaught’s revenue has doubled?That would only be possible if the rich princess successfully invested!But Alice has obviously just gotten out of trouble...

There must be something strange about this!

[Being cautious, you carefully observed the remaining masked people. Using the misalignment of the fabric as they ran, you recognized one of the childish faces...it was Langley, the former fisherman's daughter]

huh?

No, the child who was quite lively back then is now throwing bombs all over the street?

[You did not take action to stop the masked man, and even secretly released the magic of rolling earth and rocks, causing the chasing police officers to stumble and help them escape]

[You followed them to the woods outside the town]

[After feeling safe, Langley took off his mask, revealing a face filled with frustration and remorse.She said: "If I could have acted faster, Harry wouldn't have..."]

Harry, seemingly the name of the man whose leg was broken, must have been caught by the sheriffs by now.

[Another masked man replied: "It's not your fault. You've done a good job. Harry also came with the awareness of death."]

["And in the end, we completed the mission and killed that despicable traitor! The sacrifice was worth it! Now it's time for us to go back and find Katyusha."]

Katyusha? !

Richard was extremely excited when he finally heard the name of a person who was truly one of his own.

[You follow the two of them.Midway, Langley seemed to be aware of it, but after you used clever methods to control your aura, he still couldn't find you]

[You walked to an abandoned farm hut, and you watched Langley reach out and knock on the floor three times, and then the floor opened automatically, revealing a passage]

[After both of you have gone in for a while, you cover half of your face with your clothes and knock on the floor three times]

[You took a few steps forward in the passage and met the guard. You vaguely felt that he looked familiar but could not recognize him. Due to your characteristics, he also vaguely thought that you were one of his own and let you go.]

[You come to a hall underground]

[You find that this place is completely built into a camp, with warehouses, medical rooms, and training rooms. People are coming and going, including soldiers, doctors, craftsmen, and a few mages]

[Langley walked into an office on the right, and with the extraordinary perception of Silver Level, you heard Katyusha's voice inside]

["Harry has been captured, right? I know, I will arrange for someone to rescue him... You can take a good rest for a few days... Continue to fight? I understand your feelings, but we have made too many sacrifices these days... …”]

[Half an hour later, Langley left. After hesitating for a while, you took the initiative to walk in]

【"who is it?!"】

[Katyusha immediately sensed something was wrong and vigilantly assumed a fighting posture]

[But after you showed your face and released your breath and magic power, Katyusha was stunned, and it took several seconds before she cried and threw herself into your arms]

["Your Highness, you are still alive! I knew you must be still alive! How wonderful! I, I have always..."]

Richard actually had many burning questions to ask.

But when the girl's tears wet his clothes, he couldn't ask a word.

The feeling of being loved and cared about is very happy and heavy.

[You released the sound isolation technique, then hugged Katyusha and whispered comfort for a long time]

[The girl finally calms down, you wipe away her tears and ask about her situation over the years]

["Since you disappeared..."]

As the girl narrated, Richard's blood pressure gradually increased.

...When Richard and others disappeared, Connaught and Van Dan immediately sent many people to search for them. It took three or four months, but naturally nothing was found.

Then the situation went from bad to worse out of control.

On Fandan's side, the forces that Alice had just emerged disappeared without a leader in the blink of an eye. In the end, the prince's faction succeeded in the coup, and the world's second largest country fell into the hands of despicable people.

Here in Connaught, Henry II lost his only heir, and Henry II's prestige was greatly reduced. He himself became seriously ill. He finally survived, and his energy was getting worse day by day.

The Dulles family in the north would not miss this opportunity.

Because of Richard, they paid more attention to Connaught than in the first simulation, and accelerated the pace of embezzlement.

Without Richard, neither Catherine nor the imperial conservatives behind her were interested in stopping Dulles, leaving Luvia alone - not to mention that she later spent most of her energy searching for Richard all over the world.

In this way, the political situation in Connaught became worse and worse day by day.

Until two years ago, Henry II fell into a coma due to "illness", the court mage Megan died in a "car accident", and officials who were friends with Richard disappeared.

In the end, former Attorney General Jello Wolf, who held part of the Standard Fruit Company, led a group of associates to take power.

Richard's sister, Zoe, also a member of the Wolfe family, has not been seen since. It is said that she was under house arrest because of hysteria.Katyusha was also driven out of the palace a few days after this change.

In the next six months, Connaught was completely reduced to a plaything of the Empire and Standard Fruit. All the interests that could be sold were sold, and those that could not be sold were also sold, maybe at a reduced price.

While Gerald and company made a fortune, the rest of Connacht was in hell.

At its worst, 10,000+ people were starving, and the rest could only work hard from morning to night in the banana plantations, barely surviving... But Jello and others claimed that everything was fine, and the Connaught people Poverty and hardship stem only from one's own ignorance and laziness.

Faced with this situation, there was naturally some resistance in Connaught.

As a former combat maid, Katyusha did her part and took Langley, who had received several years of training, to join the resistance organization and eventually became the leader of one party.

This is also the cause of everything Richard sees now.

After listening, Richard sneered, with murderous intent in his eyes.

["I'm sorry, Your Highness, we tried our best, but..."]

Katyusha on the opposite side felt a little depressed at the end.

Richard suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to be over 20 years old now, right?

Really...thank you for your hard work, Katyusha.

Don't worry about the rest.

Because, I'm back!

Chapter 136 Don’t be impulsive, let’s just be patient for now

Henry II became ill?Teacher Megan was in a car accident?Zoe is hysterical?Are Connacht people stupid and lazy?

fart!

Okay, it’s only been four years since you ruined my family like this...

You will pay the price.

Justice will await everyone at the end.

Richard calmed down the blood pressure of someone who wanted to climb Mount Everest, then helped Katyusha up, and the two of them sat behind the desk.

He has already thought about what to do first in this simulation.

Take back your hometown and drive the imperial forces out of Connacht completely!

This is good for the heart and blood vessels, and there are many links that can be revitalized and restored.

But first, he needs to understand the current situation of the resistance organization.

[Katyusha introduces to you their achievements in the past two years]

[The resistance organization is divided into two parts. One part is headed by Katyusha and calls itself the National Defense Army. It currently has 300 people. The other part is headed by White, a former naval officer. It calls itself the Redemption Alliance and has an estimated number of 500 people...]

Wait a minute, White?

Oh my god, isn't that a spy?

Well, it's not surprising. Except for himself and Veronica, no one else knows the details of that person.

He should be the nail that Standard Fruit drives into the resistance organization...

[Katyusha also detailed the previous actions of the two organizations. They mainly assassinated Jero's men, and sometimes robbed the rich and gave to the poor. However, each operation resulted in heavy losses, and the enemy became increasingly fierce with the overt and covert support of the empire. They are getting stronger and stronger, putting them in a difficult situation...]

This is really no surprise.

Maybe half of the workforce is controlled by spies? Is that possible?

Moreover, Connaught itself is too small, and the empire is powerful. It is normal to fight recklessly and fail. After the fight, you can draw Bailu alone and Xi'er twice - it's such a beautiful idea.

Therefore, Richard had no intention of blaming Katyusha.

The girl did well enough, at least she left some foundation.

Without Katyusha, he would probably have to start from scratch again in this simulation.

[You praised Katyusha’s achievements and said you would help her next]

[Katyusha hopes to give up her leadership position to you now and help you counterattack the palace, but you politely refuse and insist on hiding behind the scenes]

Richard believes that today is different from the past.

After wasting four years of farming time, there are not many members of his team left, and Alice and Veronica's power has not been established and they are unable to provide assistance.

As for the empire, counting the time, the second prince was about to take the stage, and it was the time when he was looking for nails all over the world with a hammer in hand.

Now that he is exposed, even if he can boost the morale of the Connacht people and even regain the throne in a short time, it is difficult to say that he can stabilize his position.On the contrary, there is a high probability that it will encounter a full blow from the empire and collapse quickly.

Not to mention that half of the rebels in the family are being led by traitors...

So take your time and be patient.

Make a fortune in silence!

[Katyusha unconditionally agrees with your proposal, and you have become the true leader of the National Defense Army]

[But on the surface, you disguised yourself as a newly joined mage and acted as Katyusha’s adviser]

[Next, you participated in the rescue of Harry at night]

[You did not show all your strength, but you only used your characteristics cleverly a few times to make the operation a complete success. There were no casualties in the National Guard Army, and you even stole five guns and bullets.]

[That night, everyone in the National Guard celebrated underground, and the little girl Langley was very happy]
