They don't want me to work harder

[You elected Veronica as the commander-in-chief of the Independent Army and said that you can bring large quantities of arms and material support to the Independent Army]

[The participants were all pleasantly surprised by your promise and promised to hand over the command if you successfully fulfilled your promise]

Obviously, in the face of the strong pressure from the empire, these people were not confident in their future, so the internal fighting was not serious. As long as Richard could bring victory, the ownership of command rights could be discussed.

Then the problem is coming...

Where do the supplies come from?

Veronica couldn't help scratching her head.

The empire controls the main routes and ports. Normally, her pirate group would have to rob or smuggle arms if they wanted to obtain them. The quantity could not increase at all, so they could barely supply a few thousand people.

[Faced with your questions, Charlie pulled you to a quiet place and confessed everything to you]

[You just learned that his real name is Richard Targaryen, the Prince of Connaught who was thought to have died in Nyon many years ago! 】

[And the source of supplies he promised actually refers to Fandan! 】

Targaryen…

Veronica is very impressed by this last name!

During the last simulation, was Fandan's prime minister in black called this name?

No wonder he is so powerful. When you think about it, you can fully understand it!

The fate is really incredible. In this simulation, he actually came to the Divine Grace Islands...

I heard that he has a good relationship with the princess Fandan?Is that why you have the confidence to ask for supplies?

Tsk, I'm a little angry for no reason...

Richard's side.

[You sent an envoy to Fandan with your handwritten letter in order to obtain support]

Richard held his breath, waiting for the results.

He planned to ask Fan Dan for supplies, not just because of his relationship with Alice, but because he felt that with the tension between the major countries in this round of simulation, Fan Dan would probably get involved even if he only looked at interests. .

To be independent is to shake people up, not to be shabby.

Moreover, the founding father of country M came from country F. There is a precedent for this!

[Soon, the messenger came back with Fan Dan’s answer]

[But to your surprise, this "reply" is not a message, but a person]

[Princess Vandan Alice came to the Pearl Buck in person]

Chapter 65 Kill the guy who wants to go home before Christmas

Alice actually came here in person?

Richard was a little surprised. He didn't expect that even after so many years in the simulation, the princess still valued him so much.

But in the distant Fandan Palace, the half-asleep and half-awake girl burst into tears with excitement!

Alice always thought that Richard was dead!

This caused her to have a half-hearted mentality at the beginning of the simulation, and her motivation was greatly reduced. She regretted why she didn't listen to the dirty thoughts in her heart and abduct people to Vandan.

If she didn't want to accumulate practical experience for reform and promotion to legend, she would have wanted to change her name and just find a troupe to live in seclusion.

However, it was only after she persevered that she felt the difficulty of Richard's reforms.

Countless opponents, the incomprehension and entanglement of relatives and friends, and the internal struggles of her own interest groups all made her anxious. In addition to admiring Richard even more, she also missed the time when Richard was still there every day... …

With such stumbling, she has persisted until now, making many mistakes, but she has also accumulated some achievements.

Then, she heard the news that Richard was still alive in the distant Divine Grace Islands.

How could she endure this?

Of course I had to rush over immediately!

[Alice is no longer the vase princess, but a powerful person who emerged from the Prince Van Damn incident.Her role in coming to the Divine Grace Islands this time is not only to be a messenger, but also to be able to truly decide Fan Dan’s attitude towards the Mao Independence Army]

[She fully agreed to the Independence Army’s request for support, but additionally requested that she stay on the Divine Grace Islands to supervise the Independence Army’s use of supplies]

[Since then, she has been with Richard]

Seeing a series of news, Veronica was even more surprised than Richard.

Members of the powerful royal family of a great country came to the Divine Grace Islands in person?Don't you think it's dangerous?Aren't you afraid that the exposure will lead to diplomatic questioning from the empire?You also supervise the use of supplies...don't you think it's a bit of a fuss?

Since it cannot be explained rationally, we have to consider it from an emotional perspective.

Only then did Veronica recall that in the reports of the Nyon incident, some small newspapers seemed to have spread the story of Richard and Alice's lace relationship.

There are little royal romance stories like this almost every year, and they are basically rumors. She didn't care about them back then, but now it seems that some of the rumors are probably true.

So……

What a joke!

No one can take anything away from the Pirate Queen!

[Veronica successfully served as the commander-in-chief of the Independent Army and promoted Richard to deputy commander, mainly responsible for staff and military supplies]

[She always wants you to be by her side, and tries to prevent Alice from getting closer, thinking that Alice's identity is too sensitive and will attract unnecessary reactions from the empire]

[Moreover, she often summons you into the bedroom in front of Alice on the pretext of discussing military affairs]

[Alice is very dissatisfied with this and threatens to reduce support. Although she has not actually done so, it has scared people from other factions within the independent army]

[These people have seen some clues and found you privately, hoping that you can actively devote yourself to the great cause of independence and mediate between the two women]

Harmonize a dog!

This is asking me to be a duck for the country!

But complaints are complaints, and seeing the two women behaving like this, Richard couldn't help but scratch his head.

This matter... is difficult to handle!

There is no doubt that he has feelings for Alice, and Veronica...he is taking the route of colonial independence in this simulation, and he cannot leave this female vampire.

That’s all, if it’s difficult, don’t do it.

I should be a coward!

Anyway, this is a simulation, just ignore it and it will pass in a while... Well, the simulation does not affect reality, as long as it doesn't do this in reality.

[You took the initiative to patrol the front line alone, leaving the two women face to face, and quickly cooled things down - Alice paid lip service to it after all, but did not actually reduce her support]

[And soon, the pressure from the empire will make you no longer pay attention to these small things]

[In the face of your rebellion, the empire responded quickly. Not only did it mobilize all the governors from all over the country, it also organized an expeditionary force locally and came to the Divine Grace Islands]

[After several battles, the independent army that had not yet been fully integrated suffered great losses. Although it had some small victories under Veronica's genius command, it lost key large cities and ports]

Ah, this...

It's really no surprise.

Richard knew very well that the Empire was still the undoubted most powerful country in mankind and should never be underestimated.

However, he did not think that the Independence Army would be in dire straits.In his opinion, with Veronica's military ability, leading the independent army to lie dormant on the Divine Grace Islands for seven or eight years, and finally reaching a balance of power with the empire, it was not a big problem.

But he was not satisfied with the speed.

So, let’s help step on the accelerator~

[You made two suggestions to Veronica]

[First, don’t just rely on the descendants of immigrants to fight the war. Just like the pirates before, we must mobilize slaves and indigenous people as much as possible, promise them freedom and rights, let them become our friends, and if necessary, even convert their beliefs to Gods are included in the orthodox sequence]

[Secondly, don’t worry about big cities and waste military power in vain. Instead, we should occupy vast villages and small settlements, destroy the pitiful roads on the map, and use our local advantages to isolate and surround the imperial army in large areas. In the city]

[Veronica fully accepted your suggestions]

[Although liberating slaves and making friends with the indigenous people caused dissatisfaction among other factions within the Independence Army, after you patiently persuaded them with swords and guns, the strategy was successfully implemented]

[Soon after, the strategy paid off]

[In just two years, you have established a foothold on several main islands of the Divine Grace Islands, and your team has grown five times. In turn, you have pressed the imperial army on the coastal line, and even hanged a notorious governor]

[At the end of the year, under the coordination of Alice, the Vandan Navy took the initiative to provoke, forcing the Imperial Fleet to return its focus to home defense, while Veronica took the opportunity to lead an army to surround Jotun City]

[It is an important fulcrum for the empire’s presence in the Divine Grace Islands, a transportation hub for several large cities, and a storage place for a large amount of military supplies. Once the independent army captures it, it will be enough to declare the empire’s failure on the Divine Grace Islands]

[In view of the importance of this battle, Veronica rushed directly to the front line, and you also came to the city behind, Clem, to ensure logistics with all your strength]

[In the city, the soldiers of the Independence Army were very excited. Many people felt that they could end the war before the New Year and go home to celebrate]

[On this day, an elite army led by the famous imperial general Albert suddenly appeared under the city of Clem! 】

Richard suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

When did the empire have such a mobile force?How did you bypass the front line of defense?

Damn it, you actually came to attack my old comrade!

Sure enough, the flags that go home before the holidays cannot be erected randomly!

Complaints are complaints, and he had to lament that he still underestimated the empire.

That's right, such a rising country with abundant martial virtues, abundant talents, and the ability to reform itself is capable of delivering a fatal blow to any lax enemy, even if it is far away across the ocean.

But he, Richard Targaryen, had to face such a terrifying creature.

Clem must not be captured, otherwise Veronica will not only be deprived of supplies, but also be attacked from both sides!

[Although the guards try to persuade you to retreat, you are determined to hold on to this city]

[You are quickly surrounded by Albert. Faced with the enemy who have the upper hand in quantity and quality, the morale in the city plummets]

[That night, some independent officials who were dissatisfied with your policy of emancipating slaves and being close to the indigenous people rebelled and opened the west city gate]

[The guards feel that the situation is over, and forcefully pull you to escape]

Hiss, I'm afraid this has been prepared a long time ago, right?

The empire also has internal agents in the independent army!
