Chapter 176: The Female Knight's Fist!
The Emperor is also a person, and people can scream.
Therefore, even though Loria threatened him, the Emperor's pitiful cries didn't stop.
However, Loria soon realized that something was slightly wrong. The Emperor, who she had stepped on, seemed to have developed schizophrenia.
At one point, he begged for mercy.
"It hurts, it hurts too much. I surrender, please stop stepping on me. Hmph, ah, ah, ah!"
He said some very harsh words again.
"You are choosing the path of death!"
This made it difficult for the others present.
They didn't come to kill the emperor. Killing the emperor recklessly would only accelerate the collapse of the already decayed situation. Their goal was to control the emperor and temporarily unify this loose empire with the emperor's authority and their own power.
To achieve this goal, the emperor's cooperation is essential.
Take the royal knights outside as an example. Throughout the empire, only the emperor can mobilize them.
If at this time the emperor is not willing to obediently follow the order to let the royal knights disarm and leave, this chaos will definitely not end in a short time.
With the strength of the royal knights, more deaths are certain, and who knows what other unforeseen problems might arise.
For example, being exploited by the rebels of the Hidden Leader.
So the most important thing right now is to quickly control the emperor and make him willing to cooperate.
However...
How can we "control" someone whose mental state is not right?
Persuasion doesn't seem to work because the emperor's eyes are red and he doesn't listen at all.
Using violence doesn't seem to work either, Loria has already stepped on people with her high heels, but the emperor just becomes more chaotic.
Plus, violence should also have its limits. If we accidentally kill or drive the emperor crazy, all our previous efforts will be wasted.
Oh no.
Brigadier General Charles looks very serious.
He has a strong heart, having narrowly escaped death numerous times.
But at this very important moment, he also became nervous.
He was able to come here, not relying on his own strength alone, but without the golden knights of the church, without those adventurers, without the nobles who supported him, without the soldiers who followed him, he didn't even have the chance to meet the emperor.
Therefore, he must not lose.
If he lost, he would not only lose his own life, but also the trust of countless people, the future of the Empire that he loved, and relying on the emperor and those insects around the emperor would never be able to govern the empire well.
Speaking of this, Brigadier General Charles became angry.
"Damn it, how did the country become like this?"
He couldn't hesitate anymore, he had to step forward and do everything he could to make this mad emperor submit!
Brigadier General Charles adjusted his neatly fitted military uniform, straightened the slightly crooked medals, and then confidently took a step with his left foot.
Everything was going smoothly, until he put his left foot down.
Loria saw the emperor's chest and saw her left foot wrapped in black high-heeled shoes lift up.
Then, she quickly moved forward and grabbed the emperor's collar, pulling the emperor, who had fallen to the ground, in front of her and angrily scolded him.
"Even when you're about to die, you still dare to talk back? Damn it, you've managed to turn this country into such a mess, you really are a genius. Give you a bit more time and even the 'benevolent ruler' of Africa will have to call you senior!"
"You..."
Before the emperor could speak, Loria cut him off.
"You dare to talk back, damn it, I'll give you two punches."
Saying that, she really punched the emperor twice.
Now she is angry.
If this emperor had been of even a little use, it wouldn't have turned out like this.
Ever since she arrived in this world, all of her plans have been perfect. With the simulator, she could have happily lived her life lying down.
Money?
Raise Doris, then make Doris work like crazy for her. Isn't money supposed to come easily?
Wife?
Even though there is a big difference in status between her and the guildmaster, once Doris helps her earn enough money, won't that difference disappear?
It's all because of this useless emperor. It would have been fine if he ignored state affairs, but he likes to blindly command. After giving orders and creating chaos, he doesn't take any responsibility and only wants to blame others.
Oh no.
The country is finished now.
"I wish I could throw you, you useless waste, into the toilet, f*ck your granny!"
Loria became angrier and raised her fist again.
"Stop!" she exclaimed.
Brigadier General Charles's heart stopped when he saw this scene.
He had witnessed Loria's strength before, and he feared that one punch could send the emperor's head flying.
But he shouted too late.
As soon as the word "down" came out, Loria's fist was already pressed against the emperor's chest.
"*Sound effect, "Plop—"*"
The emperor couldn't catch his breath, and his face turned extremely eerie, as if it had been painted red.
But Loria didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to release her anger.
"If it weren't for you, Creek Town wouldn't have lost so many people and wouldn't have been destroyed, leaving many people homeless!"
Clap clap.
With a wave of her hand, Loria slapped the emperor, making him see stars.
Everyone nearby was stunned.
Many people have thought about hitting the emperor, but the title of emperor still brings fear to people's hearts.
"Um..."
The guildmaster, who was standing behind Loria, was speechless for a moment. She didn't know whether she should try to stop Loria, but when she heard Loria shout out "Creek Town," she suddenly let her hand down.
Just this once, let Loria be stubborn.
If anyone blames Loria afterwards, she will defend her with all her might.
She wasn't that strong, but she also had a "guest" of a different god in her!
But not everyone was as "open-minded" and "tolerant" as the guildmaster. At that moment, Brigadier General Charles was very anxious. He quickly rushed forward, trying to grab Loria.
But no matter how fast he was, it would still take time to cover the distance of nearly ten meters.
In this short period of time, Loria launched another "attack".
"If it weren't for you, the capital would not have fallen, and the world would not be on the brink of collapse!"
She smacked the emperor twice, making his face symmetrical.
But this was just the beginning.
Loria wasn't aiming to kill the emperor.
Skillfully, she took a healing potion from her pocket and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth.
"Is it the path to death?"
"Are you a lowly commoner?"
"You think you have the appearance of a great emperor, you wicked creature!"
*Sounds of banging*
The third attack came, and at that moment, Brigadier General Charles finally reached Loria.
"Loria, stop it, if you continue to hit him..."
"I dare not, I dare not."
Suddenly, the sound of sobbing interrupted Brigadier General Charles' words.
Just a moment ago, the crazy emperor, who had been wild and uncontrollable, after being slapped repeatedly by Loria, although his hair was disheveled and his cheeks swollen, his whole demeanor suddenly became clear.
He was dragged on the ground and cried bitterly, waving his hands like a struggling duck.
"Please spare me, lady knight! Whatever you want me to do, I will do it!"
Brigadier General Charles："..."
Loria dragged the emperor even closer, revealing a terrifying smile. "Are you lying to me?"
"I dare not, truly, I would never dare to deceive you, Lady Knight. You are a true noble, while I am just a worthless person who gained power through my family. I don't want to be emperor anymore, you can take over."
Bang.
Loria punched the emperor directly in the head. "Who cares about this lousy throne of yours? Since you're ready to surrender, quickly make the royal knights outside stop, and make them behave. Otherwise... hmph."
"Fine, I'll go, I'll go right away."
Ignoring the pain on his head, the emperor shouted in a hurry.
Loria casually threw the emperor into the arms of Brigadier General Charles. "While he's not yet gone mad, quickly send him out to persuade those people outside, or else it will be too late."
Also.
Now is not the time to dwell on what methods Loria used.
After a magician used magic to restore the emperor's face, Brigadier General Charles immediately seized the emperor and rushed out to stop the royal knights who were still fighting.
The room instantly emptied half of its occupants.
Eagle-eyed Loria spotted a dark red gas in a dim corner.
"Wait, what's that?"
Without hesitation, she grabbed the feet of the goddess statue and charged towards it.
Crash.
After a fierce collision, the table in the corner was smashed, and the dark red gas dispersed.
In an instant, both Loria and the others in the house felt a sense of relief, as if they had unloaded a heavy burden of several hundred pounds.
"Could it be that the gas, is the gas attached to the emperor?" asked an adventurer.
No one could give a definite answer.
Sharon looked at the statue of the goddess in Loria's hand with a complicated expression.
It was terrible to see the goddess, whom she revered, being casually played with by Loria. However, considering the power the statue had just shown, she felt she shouldn't say anything.
Let's turn a blind eye.
After all, this is about "expelling demons and evil spirits," so the goddess probably won't blame us.
Besides, the goddess promotes freedom, so in a way, Loria's actions are quite freeing!
"Should I also have some freedom the next time I encounter trouble?"
Ptoo!
Sharon quickly shook her head.
She was the Guardian Goddess, a golden knight who fought for the belief in the goddess. How could she do something so excessively free like this!
In the somber atmosphere, Doris happily ran up to Loria.
"Wow, Loria, you're amazing! With just a few slaps, you cured that old man with a troubled mind. I'm not as talented as you."
"Of course not," Loria smirked. "Do you think I was just randomly hitting him? Although I'm not a doctor or a healing sorceress, I could see at first glance that the emperor wasn't normal. He was possessed by an evil god, which made him neither human nor ghost. By hitting him and intimidating him, I was actually doing it for his own good. See, once I beat out that evil god, he immediately returned to normal."
"You really saw it at first glance?" the guildmaster couldn't help but ask.
"Absolutely, without a doubt!"
Loria nodded hard.
The guildmaster："..."
Loria suddenly sighed again, "I don't know if the emperor has noticed my efforts. If he mistakenly thinks that I am harming him, what should I do? Will his royal knights be hostile to me?"
Honestly, Loria, who had calmed down, was really scared.
The Royal Knights are not lacking in cruel individuals, so if someone really wants to assassinate her because she punched the emperor, what can she do to resist?
Uh-oh.
As soon as she said this, the adventurers standing nearby stepped forward one after another.
"Knight Loria, don't worry. We see your wisdom and bravery. We will never allow those blindly loyal royal knights to bully someone who has done great deeds for the country and the people!"
"Yeah, if anyone dares to blame you, I will be the first to refuse!"
"Yes, yes."
Everyone patted their chests to guarantee, after making the guarantee, they started to praise Loria like crazy.
The people who followed Brigadier General Charles here mostly understood the situation clearly. They knew very well how dangerous it would be if the emperor had not been awakened by the blow.
In their mouths, Loria, who "blasphemed" the goddess, had become a true representative of the goddess.
What? Fighting while holding the statue of the goddess?
That was to imprint the shape of the goddess directly on the faces of those believers of another religion, making them understand what a goddess is!
Loria's face was filled with a smug expression, to the point that even the guildmaster standing beside her couldn't bear to watch.
"Come here."
The guildmaster grabbed Loria's hand and directly dragged her out of the crowd.
Now is not the time to show off.
In this situation, it's better to minimize your influence if it's not necessary. After all, they don't plan on becoming queens.
Although Loria enjoys being praised, being with the guildmaster is more comfortable. Besides, there are more important things waiting for her.
When she reached the corner, she received a system notification, informing her that a new special event had been completed.
It seems that Brigadier General Charles has completely stabilized the situation with the help of the emperor.
Although there will surely be people dissatisfied in the local area, nobody smart should foolishly cause trouble at this time, especially with the threat of the Hidden Leader organization's rebels.
"Next, we should organize our forces to counterattack the capital."
Retaking the capital is the first step, and the second step is finding a way to repair the seal.
Let's check the event rewards first.
Loria, who was sitting in the corner, opened the simulator.
[Special Event - The New Sun]
[The old sun has already set, even though it is still dark at this time, but a new sun will rise in the near future.]
The event is completed, rewards are generated:
1. Cat Shuttle
2. Skill Enhancement Cards *2.
3. Equip enhancement stones * 3.
4. 20 free attribute points.
The rewards for this event can be said to be quite abundant.
Cat Shuttle is a skill that allows you to move, replacing Kitty's Pace, which has already reached level 3.
[Cat Shuttle]: By using a small amount of physical and mental energy, you can forcefully teleport up to 100 meters. The cooldown time is 0.5 seconds.
At level 3, Kitty's Pace can only teleport 30 meters, and the cooldown time is 1 second.
But the best thing about Cat Shuttle is that it is a forced teleportation skill, which means that even if Loria is controlled by someone else, she can still teleport herself to another place.
She isn't quite sure how it works, maybe it has something to do with time and space.
The skill advancement card is also a good item.
The regular Skill Advancement Cards require a certain amount to level up a skill, but a forced advancement card can definitely increase a skill by one level.
Loria immediately used them on [In all seriousness] and [Healing Through Breathing] respectively.
In all seriousness was directly upgraded to max level.
"In All Seriousness MAX": In the dangerous world, you have gained a strong righteous spirit. Your spiritual attribute permanently increases by 100 points, and you can ignore negative effects such as chaos, charm, taunt, and dizziness.
After reaching level 3, the effects of Healing Through Breathing were better than Loria expected.
"Healing Through Breathing Lv3": After being out of combat for 30 seconds, your health will continuously recover at a rate of 4% every 5 seconds, up to 120%. The extra 20% health will exist in the form of a shield.
"Shield? Wow, this is like secretly increasing my stamina."
Loria's eyes brightened.
In such a dangerous moment, who wouldn't want to become more resistant to being beaten?
"Come here, come here."
Loria quickly called Doris over and gave her two Magic Crystal Mines.
While Doris was eating the Magic Crystal Mines, Loria used all three Equip Enhancement Stones on Doris's body.
The results were remarkable. Within just a few seconds, Doris's stats saw a significant improvement.
Attributes: Strength 246, Agility 97, Endurance 195, Intelligence 187, Spirit -
Doris has become a qualified B-level adventurer. Of course, the most crucial aspect is that after leveling up, Doris's speed in using magic has increased many times over.
In this way, even if there is a high chance of magic failing, because of the fast casting speed, Doris can still activate her skills or fully restore her health within a second.
"Wow, those massage tools sold by bawdyhouse claiming to have cutting-edge technology are not as amazing as this."
Loria felt assured of her future happiness.
She affectionately patted Doris's head, filled with satisfaction.
After finishing this battle, she wouldn't need Doris to do manual labor and earn money anymore. At that time, they would open an adult shop.
Let the guildmaster, who is skilled in making various unique clothes in simulations, sell clothes. Let Doris provide customers with a magical and exhilarating experience. Let Miss Plump Sheep offer water therapy to customers. Let Vita play alphabet games... as for Vita, she can also serve as a bodyguard.
As for her, all she needed to do as a store manager was to collect money and do calculations!
With such operation, how could you not make a fortune?
"In order to achieve this bright future, I will defeat the evil cult called Hidden Leader!"
System, add some points.
Loria quickly used up all her 20 points of free attribute points and added them all to endurance, raising her base endurance to 303 points.
After shutting down the simulator, Loria obediently sat next to the guildmaster for over ten minutes, without speaking or causing trouble.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief when Brigadier General Charles returned to the room with a group of people.
The turmoil has temporarily ended, tonight, we can take a good rest.
But even though we call it resting, we can't completely relax, we just don't have to be as guarded as before.
Loria continued to follow Sharon and the guildmaster as they guarded the palace, and as the royal knights surrendered, decrees written by Brigadier General Charles on behalf of the emperor were distributed from the palace.
The nobles and generals who had been hesitant before now came forward to express their willingness to submit.
At dawn, Brigadier General Charles was promoted to General Charles and would become the actual supreme commander after integrating all the forces.
At dawn, the Oder Empire, which had lasted for centuries, handed over its power. Under the leadership of the temporary military government, its future direction remained uncertain.
Also at dawn, Loria returned to her own dwelling.
Vita anxiously waited for her all night. When she saw Loria again, she gently hugged her.
Just as she sat down, Loria received good news. Both the succubus queen and the Dream Demon Empress, who she had previously arranged, expressed their willingness to join her side to collectively counter the Hidden Leader when necessary.
Although such promises were cunning, they were much better than no promises at all.
However, not everything was progressing in a favorable direction.
Charles' actions caused a rebellion among the local stubborn group.
It was originally a rebellion that was not worthy of attention, but those people happened to capture some people while causing trouble.
For example, Count Lidilia, Miss Plump Sheep, and Lady Luciene.
"Anyone who blasphemes against the emperor must face severe punishment!"
"Damn it, I was careless!"
Loria urgently left the town and headed straight to the site of the rebellion.
