As night fell, Branislava had long since returned to its usual tranquility.
The wind and rain had stopped, and the riots that had been raging in the city all day had also ceased with the rain.
After killing the previous lord of Braniko, Chen Hao gave a speech. He first recounted the news of the complete annihilation of the Holy Lance Knights to appease the people and demonstrate his own strength. Then he spoke of the lord's betrayal, explaining to the people who were blocked inside the city gates by the guards why they could not leave the city, thus lowering the lord's reputation.
Then it was explained that the town of Branico was about to face a dual threat from the demons and the Kingdom of Geolar. The only hope for the town of Branico to continue to exist was Chen Hao and his group, who had the powerful strength to annihilate the Holy Lance Knights. Chen Hao readily expressed his willingness to take up the mantle of lord.
At this moment, 500 level 70 android soldiers also dealt with all the city's defenders, demonstrating their power to the residents of Braniko—an unstoppable reign of violence.
Just when all the residents were filled with anxiety, Chen Hao delivered a revised version of "I Have a Dream" to explain his ruling policies. He claimed that his goal was to build a society where all races could coexist peacefully and that discrimination and class inequality could be eliminated. In his passionate speech, thanks to his flawless acting skills and the enhancement of his verbal persuasion technique, "Tongue," some residents believed him and obediently accepted him as their new lord.
A small number of residents expressed doubts and adopted a wait-and-see attitude, wanting to see what the lord would do next.
As for the noble class in this town... their faces were all grim. Chen Hao's statement about abolishing noble privileges and achieving true equality for all was undoubtedly a huge blow to them. However, they couldn't even resist. Some who wanted to fight to the death were simply struggling in vain in the face of the powerful android legion.
Taking over the town, establishing a new order, and eliminating all destabilizing factors—once all that was done, the day was over.
After creating another batch of android soldiers to take over the positions of the original city guards in Braniko, Chen Hao led Kree and the others back to their original villa. The maid corps had also returned after cleaning up the battlefield.
Next, of course, was dinner time. Today, not only did they achieve a great victory in the battle against the Holy Lance Knights and save the residents of Branikori, but Chen Hao also took this opportunity to directly become the new lord of Branikori, taking the first step on the road to building a socialist system with Chinese characteristics in another world. It was a day worth celebrating, so naturally, they would make it more lavish.
In this situation, Noren wisely chose not to appear, instead staying in Freya's room to wait for the maid to bring her food. She was also very emotionally intelligent, knowing that she might not be well-liked by the other women because of her previous cold-blooded and twisted behavior. To avoid embarrassment, it was best not to have any contact with them for the time being.
Night had fallen, but the room was dark except for the pale silver moonlight streaming in. Noren sat on Freya's bed, lost in thought. Just then, the sound of the door opening interrupted her thoughts. Startled by the sound, she instinctively turned her head to look.
Is it Freya? Or is it the maid who came to deliver the food?
But none of them were Chen Hao. After opening the door, he turned on the magic lamp, glanced at Noren sitting on the bed, and walked into the room, gently placing the plate he was holding on the desk.
"I never expected that such a small thing as delivering meals would require the Healer of Healing to do it personally. Aren't there also those maids?"
Noren looked at Chen Hao with a complicated expression. She glanced at the plates of various foods on the table. She was indeed a little hungry, but her mind was in turmoil and she had no desire to eat.
"I've come here seeking an answer from you, as this is about whether this meal will be your last."
Chen Hao shrugged and replied casually.
"Are you still going to make these meaningless threats now? You don't really want to kill me, do you? Otherwise you would have done it already."
Noren had thought long and hard during the time Chen Hao was handling the takeover of Branislavsky, and she had already seen through Chen Hao's scheme.
"You never know. And even if I don't kill you, I can still distort your personality. In that case, Norren will die in a personal sense and cease to exist."
Chen Hao smiled, his expression full of pleasure and mischievousness.
"Besides using force to coerce a weak woman, don't you have any other tricks? You used to claim to be righteous, but you're a scoundrel yourself."
"Same here. Aren't you also using the name of justice to prepare to have the Holy Lance Knights slaughter the civilians here?"
Faced with Chen Hao's sarcasm, Noren pursed her lips and did not refute. She actually knew herself quite well. Chen Hao and she were the same kind of people, who would do anything to achieve their goals.
However, Chen Hao had more moral principles and bottom lines than her. While trying to achieve his goals, he would also consider whether innocent people would be affected.
"I admit you are indeed very capable, but don't you think that your method of arbitrarily altering other people's personalities to make them loyal to you is a sign of insecurity? With your strength and skills, don't you have the confidence to control your subordinates? Just how afraid are you of your subordinates betraying you?"
