Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

On the border of the Northern Wilderness, the Northwest Army's camp stood like a city of steel, solemnly and orderly situated on this barren yet strategically significant land.

Within the camp, tens of thousands of rangers were dispatched like arrows released from a bow, tasked with the important mission of surveying the terrain.

These rangers, riding nimble warhorses, galloped nimbly across the vast Northern Wilderness.

Their gazes were like torches, missing no detail of the terrain, the surveying tools in their hands glinting with a metallic sheen under the sunlight, meticulously recording the wilderness's mountains, rivers, canyons, and more, to create accurate maps for subsequent strategic deployments.

After two days of ample rest, the army had swept away its fatigue and fully recovered its fighting strength.

The soldiers were in high spirits, their eyes gleaming with resolute light, their weapons polished to a shine, and their armor reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight.

At this moment, they did not act rashly but silently waited like leopards poised to strike.

Their hearts held reverence and trust for His Highness the Crown Prince, awaiting the latest orders from His Highness.

In the deep night, the camp was silent, except for a unique atmosphere of fervent heat within the main tent.

At this time, Soren, the Crown Prince most revered by the soldiers, was engaged in a hearty, battle-like encounter with Royal Concubine Maria.

After a long while, Royal Concubine Maria seemed somewhat tired, gently leaning on Soren, her breathing slightly rapid.

Soren tenderly stroked her hair, his eyes full of affection, and said, "These past two months, my longing for you has flooded like the tide."

However, just as Soren's passion was rekindled, Royal Concubine Maria quickly stopped him.

Her cheeks flushed crimson, her eyes carrying a hint of reproach, she said, "Are you trying to kill me? What if I can't get up tomorrow?"

She knew that there were many matters to be dealt with tomorrow, and if she indulged at this moment, it would probably delay important business, and the consequences would be unimaginable if others caught them.

Yet, the reluctance and affection in her eyes also showed how deep her love for Soren was, struggling to maintain a balance between reason and emotion.

Soren was filled with unwillingness but also felt helpless. He had no choice but to reach out and pull up the nearby quilt, intending to embrace Royal Concubine Maria and fall asleep, enjoying this rare warmth and tranquility.

However, Royal Concubine Maria did not have such leisure. She quickly grabbed the clothes beside her and began to dress in an orderly manner. A trace of worry was revealed in her eyes as she spoke while dressing, "You have to be careful these days. Rezel sent a message that the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess have learned about the situation here and are now trying to summon you back to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Soren immediately perked up, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then propped his head with his hands and said confidently, "I know what to do, don't worry!"

He was already planning his response in his mind. He had his own judgment about the intentions of the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess.

Royal Concubine Maria opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak.

Her heart fell into a dilemma.

On the one hand, she knew that if the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess broke through to the Saint Realm, it would have a huge impact on her and Soren's future plans.

Once the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess's strength greatly increased, their power in the palace would inevitably be impacted, and it would become more difficult for her and Soren to control the situation.

But on the other hand, the Empress Dowager had always taken good care of her, and this kindness made it difficult for her to find a suitable reason to refuse the Empress Dowager's request, and the entanglement in her heart plunged her into deep silence.

"Maria, don't worry too much. Father Emperor can live for a long time. I will be in the Northwest for the foreseeable future," Soren's voice was gentle and steady. He seemed to see through the hesitation in Royal Concubine Maria's heart, trying to soothe her with these words.

"Northwest!" Royal Concubine Maria heard this word, and the action of putting on her clothes stopped, and she only put on half of her clothes. She looked at Soren with a puzzled expression, her eyes showing incomprehension: "What do you mean by this?"

Soren sat up with a smile, his eyes flashing with confident light, and slowly said, "The Northwest has just gotten on track, and the situation here is still complex and delicate. We have experienced a great battle, and although we have achieved victory, the army needs further reorganization and development, and the development of the Northern Wilderness is also imminent. Both of these things require a capable and prestigious heavyweight figure to be stationed here. Is there anyone in the entire empire more suitable than me?"

He paused, his gaze becoming more firm, "As for the others, let alone whether they have the ability to handle the affairs of the Northwest, just talking about the army and the people here, will they trust those outsiders? The Northwest is my foundation. I have absolute prestige and influence here. Only I can control the situation in the Northwest and stabilize the morale of the army and the people. My presence here is a guarantee for the stable development of the Northwest."

Royal Concubine Maria frowned, her heart even more entangled.

She understood that what Soren said made sense, but this also put her in a new dilemma.

If Soren does not return to the capital, then after this war is over, what reason will she have to continue staying in the Northwest?

She knew that she couldn't stay here for a long time without a reason, but she really didn't want to leave Soren, especially when the situation was so complicated.

"Whatever!" She said this, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She silently put on the rest of her clothes, didn't say anything more to Soren, and then stepped into the teleportation array and returned to her tent.

At the moment she stepped into the teleportation array, a trace of loneliness and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

Soren looked at the departing back of Royal Concubine Maria, sighed slightly, and then put away the teleportation array.

After finishing, he lay back on the bed to rest.

Just as he was drowsy and about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt someone touching him.

Slowly opening his eyes, what came into view was the charming face of Countess Fiana.

At some point, she had climbed onto his bed, her eyes carrying a charming look, and she was gently teasing him with her soft fingers, with a seductive smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.
