When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

"Stop it!"

Viscount Arman's voice sounded shocked and angry.

He didn't expect that the magician would be so despicable. He would directly sneak around and attack, completely ignoring the battle situation elsewhere.

But the move works.

Viscount Arman was unable to defend himself at all, and could only watch helplessly as the three rock balls hit the figure on the stone bed.

Direnner took the opportunity to intensify his attack and successfully left a scar on the Viscount's arm.

At the critical moment, the vines guarding the stone bed surrounded themselves, forming a small hemispherical fortress to protect the mother and child on the stone bed.

"Oh!"

The gravity rock ball fell mercilessly on the surface of the vine fortress.

The blood-red vines that had withstood the blow were dented like cotton, and at the same time they trembled violently, as if they had been greatly damaged. After a while, they faded and withered as if they had exhausted their vitality, and turned into withered branches and vines.

However, he finally blocked this gold-level magic.

But before Viscount Arman could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Shanren pulled the reins and let Torrett rush all the way to the stone bed. Then he quickly turned over and dismounted, and took out the cold sword of the King's Army and placed it on the delicate child. between the neck.

The newborn baby was still sleeping, completely unaware that his death was approaching.

Li Shanren stared at the mother and son sleeping peacefully in front of him, breathing slightly heavy.

After a few seconds, he still couldn't make a move.

Instead, he chose threats.

"Over there, stop, or I'll chop it down." Li Shanren shouted from a distance.

When Viscount Armain saw this, he laughed sadly, loosened his wrist, and two noble swords fell to the ground.

"Shh-"

Dillenna swung two swords cleanly, breaking Viscount Arman's hamstrings and crippling his ability to move.

Viscount Arman knelt down sadly, blood dripping from around his ankles and seeping into the bloody moss on the ground.

As a result, he who is good at "speed" has lost most of his combat ability and can only be slaughtered by others.

"It seems you care about them more than I thought."

Seeing that the other party really chose to surrender, Li Shanren couldn't help but sigh.

Doing this kind of hostage-taking thing made Li Shanren feel like a villain at this time.

Not to mention that the hostages were a mother and son who seemed to have no ability to resist.

"I couldn't kill you in the armory before, but it made me sad for a long time, Lord Lisern." Viscount Arman's face was full of regret, "In this ceremony, you are the biggest variables."

Indeed, in the initial mission recruitment, the old steward only selected a team with gold-level combat capabilities.

The gold-level combat power that Viscount Arman had to deal with in his plan should have been dealt with by Direnner alone.

But Li Shanren's appearance disrupted his plan.

After Li Shanren summoned Ingwell, who had "pseudo-gold level" combat power, Viscount Arman had to deal with three combat powers of the same level.

In this case, his defeat seems to be excusable.

"Should I be proud to win your attention?" Li Shanren smiled.

"You can think so." Viscount Armain said, "Then, I want to know, why didn't you kill my daughter and grandson? Was it because you couldn't do it?"

"Because I don't know the consequences of this sword strike."

Li Shanren's calm face showed no emotion.

"After the death of this child, will everything really end? Or will the rat tide outside get out of control, triggering larger-scale riots and disasters?"

"Of course, I don't expect you to answer my questions honestly. Your trust level in my heart is very low now."

Viscount Armain smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are really cautious. Then, I want to know, if I tell everything, how much will you believe me?"

"Every word you said is worthy of discussion." Li Shanren replied unceremoniously.

"Haha..." Viscount Arman laughed inexplicably.

He laughed for a while, then slowly stopped and said:

"Okay, I'm willing to tell you everything, including everything you want to know. As for how much you believe, you can decide for yourself. I wonder if you are willing to listen?"

Hearing this, Li Shanren looked at Direnner with a questioning look, who was holding the tip of the sword near Viscount Arman's heart.

"You only have five minutes." Dillenna said coldly.

This is to prevent Viscount Arman from deliberately delaying time.

"Five minutes may not be enough." Viscount Arman shook his head.

"Oh? Now you only have three minutes. You'd better be concise and clear, Your Excellency Viscount."

Li Shanren put the straight sword of the King's Army on the child's back and threatened.

Time is further compressed.

Viscount Arman twitched the corners of his mouth.

Why couldn't you kill this magician in the first place?

"Okay." Viscount Arman lowered his head dejectedly, "Anyway, I have long wanted to talk to someone about these things. After listening to my story, you will know that I actually can't help myself."

......

The Arman family has a glorious past.

As one of the founding achievements of the country, their ancestors were made dukes by the king. Their territory covers a large area in the south of the kingdom. They also control a powerful private army of ten thousand people, which plays a decisive role in the entire kingdom.

But as time went by, during a battle for the throne, the Arman family was on the wrong side, and their title was reduced by the new king. They were exiled to the border, and their fiefdom was only one-tenth of its original size.

If the Arman family hadn't still had an army in their hands at that time, they might have been massacred to death.

The king who won the throne at that time did not want to start another war. He knew that if he forced the Arman family too much, it would only cause rebellion, so he chose a gentler approach.

This practice was also seen as the king's "mercy".

After all, it was unusual for a king to choose to let the loser's group survive after a battle was won, even allowing the opponent to retain part of his fiefdom.

The head of the Arman family of that generation did not know that this was a method of cutting flesh with a soft knife. Instead, he was grateful to the king at that time.

But after that, the Arman family, which lost a large area of ​​their fiefdom, naturally could no longer afford to support a private army of ten thousand people.

In order to save enough money to maintain their aristocratic dignity, they had to reduce the number of troops to keep it within the range that a family could afford.

This self-destructive approach caused the Arman family's status in the kingdom to decline sharply.

The kingdom gradually did not allow the Arman family to participate in most internal affairs, intentionally or unintentionally neglecting this once founding noble family.

Other families also noticed the king's true attitude towards the Arman family, so they joined forces to inflict additional insults on them and suppress and exclude them frantically.

The children of the Arman family are not allowed to enter the kingdom's government system, join the army, join the chamber of commerce, or even be restricted from leaving the country.

In the end, the Arman family, which gradually lost their voice in the Kingdom's Parliament, realized their folly, but it was too late.

The Arman family's fiefdoms are decreasing day by day, and some of them are always deprived of them for various reasons.

Little by little, it was cannibalized by the kingdom or other families.

After a long time, in the end, the Arman family was left with this border city of Fam, which was insignificant on the kingdom's territory.

Seeing this situation, the kingdom slowly stopped oppressing the Arman family and chose to let them fend for themselves.

The new king is not interested in exterminating this declining family.

I originally thought that the Arman family would slowly pass on until the day it completely declines.

But at the kingdom's political meeting last year, the kingdom's prime minister suddenly proposed war against the north.

The reason is that the current chief consul of the Northern Republic of Caesar is about to abdicate.

The old consul who had been in office for two hundred years was gradually unable to handle state affairs.

So they needed to hold an election to elect a new consul for the republic.

During the election period, if the kingdom decides to go to war in the north, it will definitely make them busy, and they may be able to take the opportunity to occupy large areas of the other party's territory.

But the entire Messiah Continent has been at peace for hundreds of years. If you want to choose to go to war, you have to mention one force——

The Order of Sloth.

They were quite happy to hear about the war.

After all, war will produce a large number of homeless people, and most of these people will become slaves when they are desperate.

Therefore, the Order of Sloth will definitely bring their slave army to join one force in the war.

They might choose to join the Republic, they might join the Kingdom, or they might even bet on both sides.

The slave army is not a force that can be ignored casually.

Therefore, in order to win the support of the Sloth Order, the kingdom decided to make a deal with them:

The Order of Sloth must join the Kingdom's side and send a slave legion of no less than 50,000 people to participate in the war. During the war, they must obey the Kingdom's command.

At the same time, the Order is not allowed to support the North in any form, including but not limited to privately providing weapons and equipment, providing slave populations, providing war loans, etc.

Faced with these conditions, the price offered by the sect is——

A city, a city with a population of at least hundreds of thousands.
