They don't want me to work harder

Richard frowned, but he had no intention of running away.

This is the final darkness. According to the latest news from Veronica, as long as he nails Albert here for five days, Jotun City will fall!

No matter what the cost, we must stay here!

[You break away from the guards, put on your armor and hold your staff, and step forward to fight the imperial army! 】

Chapter 66 You are mine, no one can take it away!

[When you take the lead, the enemy's first attack is repelled]

[Then the second, third, fourth time...]

[On the third night after the army arrived at the city, you were defeated]

【You are defeated】

Ah, so direct!

Although he expected that the second-line troops around him would not be able to stop Albert, Richard could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

[You successfully delayed for three days, but in the end you failed to prevent Albert from entering the city. You could only hide in the warehouse with the few remaining cronies. The building here is very strong and can last for a while]

[Albert led his troops to surround him, but he did not attack immediately. On the contrary, he walked out of the team and recalled your victory over Linda in St. Goethe. He praised your ability and promised that as long as you surrender, he would guarantee your life. It’s safe, and I can even get you the position of Marquis...]

Richard blinked.

I saw him at St. Goethe?Why am I not impressed?Pretty close, right?

As for those words... switching sides and taking off one's armor in order to show off in courtesy does not lose the status of a mad monkey, right?

Who cares.

Back then, I wasn't even happy that Luvia wanted to marry me, let alone you, a man!

[You rejected Albert righteously and shouted: I have never seen such a shameless person! 】

[You hold a torch, come to the roof of the warehouse, face the heavily surrounded Imperial Army, and speak loudly without changing your expression]

["Ten years ago, I came to this land given by God as a slave..."]

Richard briefly reviewed his own experience, describing the story of intelligent life from all over the world, pioneering life on Shen'an Island, and finally being exploited by the native people.

["...but suffering did not bend our backs."]

【"Now, I have a dream!"】

[“I dream that one day, all creatures from all over the world, whether humans or elves, immigrants or indigenous people, can live on this land equally without oppression!”]

"I dream that one day, a new country and nation will be born on this land, and everyone can gain freedom and the right to pursue happiness here!"]

【"I dream that one day..."】

[Albert understood your speech and silently launched two small rapid-fire cannons]

Tsk, I can’t afford to play without letting people finish the story.

However, you don’t have to do it for me when it comes to death.

...It just so happens that I don't intend to let you seize this storehouse of military supplies. I want to see what you will do if you fail to defeat the enemy with supplies!

As a suicide expert in the simulation, Richard had already prepared a grand funeral.

[You go back to the warehouse, dismiss your cronies, and allow them to go out and surrender - to your surprise, the giant slave you first rescued, although he is not very fluent in human words, is standing firmly behind you at this moment]

[You were very moved, and then entrusted him with a last word, and then asked him in the form of an order to go out and surrender, and to live...]

[Finally, you took out the torch and lit the overturned gunpowder barrel in the warehouse]

[With the loud noise, your life will come to an end before dawn]

[The giant’s entourage stared blankly at the fire and kept repeating your last words: “I have fought the good fight, I have walked the entire path, I have kept the faith, and I believe there will be justice. The crown is reserved for me.”]

[This simulation has ended]

In the hotel in Nyon, Richard opened his eyes.

Fatigue suddenly came over me.

But this time, he did not let himself fall asleep. Instead, he took out candles and cotton thread, made a small delayed ignition device next to the bed, and then meditated.

He did not forget the upcoming threat from the Empty Man Order, and planned to take action immediately after recovering his strength.

This time...

I won’t let them swallow half of Nyon again!

at the same time.

Veronica is happy on the ocean.

[Under your fierce attack, the defenders of Yodun City launched a mutiny, kidnapped their superiors who wanted to die for their country, and surrendered to Kaicheng. You were able to capture Yodun two days earlier than expected]

[At this point, the empire’s power on the Divine Grace Islands is over]

Won!

I never imagined that I could reach this point in the simulation...

Feeling the satisfaction brought by the conquest, the corners of Veronica's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Thanks to that man...

Speaking of which, am I going to fulfill the conditions we agreed upon?Then it’s time for him to fulfill one of my requests, right?Hmm~

After imagining some colorful and dynamic scenes, Veronica's smile became more playful, and she even couldn't help but lick the corners of her lips with the tip of her pink tongue.

But the next second...

[You have received military information, Clem City fell, Richard used his life to hold back the Imperial Army, and died heroically]

Dang!

As if the sound of breaking glass rang in her ears, Veronica was stunned.

How, how is it possible?

It's obviously just the last step!

The joy of victory disappeared in an instant, and instead, one thing accompanying Richard flashed through his mind.

Veronica felt unprecedented sadness and regret. It seemed that in an instant, she became the little girl from that nightmare night many years ago...

Gradually, these emotions condensed and turned into a kind of anger.

What a joke!

He is the man I like. If you take him away, you must pay the price with blood!

[You let the large army continue the original plan in Jotun City, while I personally led the elite troops to pursue Albert's imperial army]

[The latter knows that the situation is over and is unwilling to fight, but you are chasing after him]

[You have once again transformed into what a vampire should look like.In anger, your strength even goes a step further. The wings of the scarlet bat cover the sky, bringing bloody and terrifying nights to the fleeing imperial troops one after another.】

[Finally, when they fled to the ferry, you caught up with Albert, at the cost of serious injuries, drained his blood in the duel, and killed every independent army traitor in his team]

[However, the remaining imperial troops still fled. You sensed that there was a legendary sword master on the sea that was approaching infinitely, so you did not pursue it. I wonder if it was an illusion, but you always felt that the sword master seemed to be a little bit different when you killed Albert. Standing by and watching]

[Revenge is barely completed, you returned to the Independence Army headquarters depressedly]

[The next thing happened naturally. The empire declared an armistice, and various factions of the independent army prepared to establish the country. However, they quarreled over the specific system to adopt. Some supported the civil republic, some supported enfeoffment, and some proposed the establishment of a new empire... 】

[Among them, some people believe that now that the war is over, slavery can be restored and the indigenous people can be driven out again]

It’s really a chaotic dance of demons...

Veronica sneered and made her decision.

...Jianguo's Fang Wei case has been decided long ago. It is his legacy. How dare you oppose it!

[You led the army to surround the conference hall, annihilated all those who had opposed you and Richard, and finally decided to establish a republic in imitation of the ancient times, continuing the wartime policy of goodwill between slaves and aborigines, and you yourself will be the first As a consul, he will stay in office for life, and he will tell the truth]

[The time for you to reign over the ocean has arrived]

Hum, that's how it should be, I won't allow a second person to oppose me!

He is the only special case...

...I have fulfilled my promise to travel across the ocean, where have you been?

It's so boring...

In the captain's cabin, Veronica opened her eyes.

There was the sound of waves outside the wooden wall, and the air was filled with the smell of fish. On the small table beside the bed was a tall glass half filled with blood. The rim of the glass was still imprinted with the red lipstick that belongs to a beauty.

Everything he could see was exactly the same as before he fell asleep, as if everything was just a big dream.

【Do you want to receive...】

"Stop talking nonsense and accept it."

As familiar memories poured in, Veronica's expression continued to change, and finally settled into a firm calmness.

"I let you escape in the simulation, but in reality I have to pay you back twice as much~"

"You are mine, no one can take it away!"

Veronica put on clothes one by one, covering her attractive skin and slender legs, and went on the deck.

"captain!"

His eyes swept across the fearful crew members, and finally settled on Minus, the tauren first mate.

Veronica smiled playfully: "Change the course, I want to go to the nearby slave shop to buy some fresh 'bread'~"

Like Veronica, in other corners of the world, there are other women who have also started taking action again. Some have intensified the battle at hand, some are studying new ways to avoid the gods, and some can’t wait to escape. Want to return to the empire...

Of course, Richard knew nothing about this.

After feeling the candle flame burning his body, he withdrew from the meditative state and took both magic potion and physical strength potion to keep himself in the best condition.

Then, he opened the system again.

[The simulation results have been generated]
