Four Split Personalities

He was, of course, clear about the reason. In fact, everyone was hoping that Ramollok would not get involved in anything for the time being and just quietly lay low for a while—that would be for the best.

As for the specifics...

Well, let’s put it this way: Under the provocation initiated by the Griffin Dynasty, this guy, who currently serves as the chief of staff for the Dream Teaching Country’s military, secured an entire county for the country without almost any cost. However, according to post-war statistics, the population of that county was reduced by a full eighty percent, which simply put means, hardly any living people were left.

Although this incident was not publicized, and seemingly no one outside the Griffin Dynasty and the Dream Teaching Country knew about it, it still brought immense pressure to the top brass.

As for Ramollok himself, he casually tossed out "military needs" as an explanation afterward, his ever-present smile not showing the slightest ripple, as if the countless lives meant absolutely nothing to him.

In fact, he really didn’t care...

"The Shaven Empire, hmm~"

Leaning on the desk, Ramollok returned his gaze to the map on the wall, his eyes gleaming with insidious madness as he downed his blood-red tea in one gulp: "Heh, I sincerely hope you all move faster, otherwise, I might really lose control of myself and beg to torture that lion little by little..."

Shaven Empire, Southern Territory of Kanda Region, Nameless Slope

"Too slow..."

Mo stood with his arms behind his back on the highest part of the slope, coldly watching the temporary encampment not far away, and lightly said: "At this rate of advance, the Griffin Dynasty will definitely intervene before the rebel army reaches the Thorn Fortress."

Li Fo, standing behind Mo, furrowed his brow and said in a low voice: "But Your Excellency, the current speed is probably already at its limit. Arthur Boho and Duke Fossai are currently facing ten times the number of rebels here. If we speed up further, we will completely lose sync with the other two battlefronts."

Mo ignored Li Fo’s analysis. He just glanced sideways at him and tossed over a roll of exquisitely sealed parchment letter: "Make another trip later, disguise yourself as a Scout, find Arthur Boho, give this to him, and he will tell you what to do next."

"Alright, what about Duke Fossai..."

"Let him continue what he’s supposed to do, and don’t make any unnecessary moves before further instructions."

"Understood."

"Go on then, don’t forget to deal with the person you’re impersonating after you return."

"I know."

Li Fo bowed slightly to Mo and then left silently.

Seconds later, with a crisp snap of fingers, another ’Dao En Housekeeper’ identical to the original appeared behind Mo, both in demeanor and temperament.

Mo stood there for a while longer, then opened his friends list and found the name ’Jiawen’, composed a brief message, and sent it off...

Central Continent of the Innocent Continent, Edge of the Mystic Dark Forest

"So, what kind of world quest is this, really..."

Rune Zhoulan, squatting on the treetop, murmured a complaint, and looked at the three small squads that plunged back into the forest, sighing while taking care of his Epic longbow, and kept wondering internally why the gap between people was so big. Why did Motan, Yu Chen, and Xiao Yu get such thrilling world tasks in Misha County, while his own task was so boring it could make one moldy.

Of course, complaints were just complaints, but Kanglan, who had researched the world quest rewards, spared no effort. He was so dedicated these days it didn’t look like that of a casual player; he didn’t even schmooze over professional gamers passing by the area, the level of his seriousness clear.

"But having said that, would there really be these so-called ’random people’ who have nothing better to do than to venture deep into the Mystic Dark Forest?"

Kanglan licked his lips and lazily swung himself hanging upside down from a tree branch, "The Mystic Dark Forest isn’t the Elves’ Forest, it was never a sightseeing sanctua— holy shit, there really is someone!?"
