Richard blinked as he continued to think.

Could it be that Oscar and the Emperor of the Alliance thought that after they got the rights, they would be forced to desperately fulfill their obligations due to moral pressure or face, so as to do everything possible to help the Soma Alliance win?

In other words, is the other party trying to squeeze his value as a person?

Speaking of which, this possibility cannot be ruled out, after all, from Oscar's point of view, he is the one who has wiped out an entire branch of the Truth Society. No matter what specific means it has, but Pompey is indeed ruined in his hands, and it really squeezes out his value, and the alliance does not lose money on the books given to the Royal Library.

It's just that...... The other party really thinks so, but I'm afraid it's a bit of a miscalculation.

My moral sense has never been strong, and if I want to let myself occasionally give the other party a short-term job, it is impossible to work a long time.

Seriously, if he didn't want to be too ugly, he would have had the urge to leave the command room halfway through the battle. However, considering that after all, so much effort has been put in, and once he leaves, it is also a loss for his efforts, so he has persevered until now.

But this is also the limit, this is the limit of his obligations.

Now that he knew that his power was real, there was no need to continue testing. After all, the power can be used if you want to, you don't use it if you want to use it, and you have a choice to call it real power.

Just like on Earth, if you can walk around a building, you are the leader. But if you have to be forced to patrol the building every day, then sorry, you're a security guard.

Now, he doesn't want to be the latter at all, he just wants to be the former.

To put it simply: it is impossible to work part-time, his time is precious, and it is impossible to think too much about others and live for himself.

Having helped the Soma Alliance so much, it took a week to be considered benevolent, and then let him command any battles, impossible, he had to do his own research - the books he got from the Royal Library had not been fully studied, and Baltavin's cracking was not carried out seriously, which required time investment.

From now on, he, the conductor and advisor, will have to give himself a vacation, and let Sauron keep things busy. After all, Sauron also said that even without him, this war would be won, but it was a little more difficult.

And whether it's difficult or not, what does it have to do with him?

You must know that the Soma Alliance is not even his homeland, he is not even from the main continent, he was born in the Blue Lion Kingdom of Smans Island, which is outside the main continent.

If you go further, it is only his current body that was born in the Blue Lion Kingdom, his soul, his primordial memories are another world, and there is no sense of belonging at all.

It is precisely because there is no sense of belonging that he wants to decipher the truth of the world, to figure out how to get here, and to know how to go back.

He doesn't have a sense of belonging to the whole world, what sense of belonging can he have to the Soma Alliance? The Soma Alliance is at best a partner for him, and if it weren't for Oscar's relationship, he might have tried to cooperate with the Sika Kingdom.

Therefore, he really didn't care at all about whether the alliance of Sauron and Soma would be difficult without him.

Anyway, this is what Oscar said at the beginning - he can let it go, only power and no obligation, then he will seriously fulfill this contract.

Exhaling slowly, Richard made a decision in his mind and walked back to the mansion with steps.

One day, two days, three days after that.

For three whole days, he rested in the mansion, barely leaving his bedroom.

Three days later, Sauron sent a herald from the command room and invited him to attend the Supreme Military Intelligence Conference again, with the purpose of discussing how to carry out the next offensive and how to advance the battle line step by step to force the Kingdom of Sika to surrender.

He politely refused this, telling him that he was feeling a little unwell, and that it would be good for Sauron to decide for himself, and he would not interfere.

A day later, Sauron sent someone again, changed his identity to a staff officer, and still asked him to participate in the military intelligence meeting.

He refused again, sorry to inform him that he was still unwell, and Sauron decided to do it alone.

On the third day, Sauron sent his former white-robed staff officer, Kun Darcy, to sincerely invite.

He refused for the third time.

Then Sauron understood, and did not send anyone to continue to disturb, but just sent a message to say that when His Excellency Richard is getting better, he is welcome to go to the command room at any time and exchange ideas briefly.

Richard didn't completely refute Sauron's face, and after that, every other day or two, he would really go to the command room occasionally to have a look, and he wouldn't stay long, leaving for almost half an hour, and in the process he would simply talk to Sauron, and never involve any military movements.

In this way, the two tacitly reached a consensus - Sauron commanded alone, and Richard studied alone.

......

Seriously, after being busy for so many days, Richard is still a little uncomfortable with the fact that he suddenly left the affairs of the national war alone.

On the first day of getting rid of the national war, it took him nearly a second to overcome his discomfort before he threw himself into the busyness of his career.

Day 1, research.

The next day, research.

Day 3, research.

Day 4......

Time passed quickly, and Richard was almost completely engrossed in research. During this period, he also discovered some conveniences that he had not thought of before, that is, the abuse of power for personal gain.

After all, he is still a command adviser and the second-in-command of the entire army, and although he is no longer willing to contribute and continue to command, he can still issue military orders and let logistics mobilize some of the materials he needs.

This is to activate the state apparatus and serve him with the strength of the whole country, and most of the requirements can be met very quickly.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as occupying war resources. But the amount of resources he needs alone is not even as good as that of a regiment, but no one dares to question it, after all, he still has some privileges as a command adviser.

In this way, apart from meeting Sauron every few days, he spent most of the rest of his time going about his business, and did not care about the progress of the war.

However, from the words of others, he still learned that under the sole command of Sauron, the second offensive of the Soma Alliance was very smooth, and the forwards advanced rapidly, and it could even be said that it was like a bamboo. The five lines of defense of the Sika Kingdom were broken through, and the main force fled to the depths of the country, and the second-line troops left behind were unable to compete with the Soma Alliance army, and they were defeated and retreated, constantly losing their territory.

As a result, the former front line of the Soma Alliance has been transformed into a large rear, and in order to facilitate command, the command room in the reef fort has been moved forward in the direction of the Sika Kingdom many times.

As a command advisor, although Richard did not conduct command work, it was impossible to leave the center too far, so he moved forward with the command room.

First they arrived at a military city of the Sika Kingdom called Wind Sand Castle, then to a Sika Kingdom city called Kukochi, and then to a place called Silver Sand City.

This did not affect Richard's research work to a great extent, after all, he carried the Garden of Eden and Balta with him, and whatever he had, he could easily pack and take it with him, and the transfer of residence was just a small adjustment and a short break in his research work.

In this way, by the time I followed the command room to a place called Graystone City again, it was already more than a month later.
