Chapter 45 Wolfish Ambitions, the Insects' Grand Conquest Plan!

Chapter 45: Wild Ambitions, the Bug's Grand Annexation Plan!

'LV2 War dungeon [five permanent members: Great Wall Watch] loading complete—'

'Decipherer, please begin your walkthrough!'

The bullet chat in front of Takuya Kojiro's eyes began to slowly dissipate, and along with it, the system's mighty power that had frozen time in this world receded.

Starting from this moment.

Kojiro could clearly feel the time in the war world beginning to flow.

"Has the walkthrough begun?"

After a soft murmur, Takuya Kojiro turned his gaze toward the gate of the Japanese-style courtyard; he was waiting for the arrival of the intelligence officer.

*Knock, knock. Knock, knock.*

Soon, a crisp knocking sound came from the courtyard: "Your Excellency Grand Commander! I am the person in charge of the intelligence department!"

"Wait a moment!"

Takuya Kojiro did not let the officer in immediately.

He jogged over to the mirror.

He carefully examined his current form and appearance.

Currently, Kojiro was wearing a luxurious kimono, his long and messy hair tied into a ponytail behind him, looking rather like a hoodlum—no, like a commander!

"Not bad!"

"I, Takuya Kojiro, truly have the potential to be a leader!"

Looking at himself in the mirror, Takuya Kojiro revealed a satisfied smile.

While scrutinizing himself, Takuya Kojiro did not forget to complain about the Bug Country in the real world:

"If I could also serve as the leader in the real world, how could the great Bug People possibly remain beneath the Great Yan Empire for so long?"

"In the end, it's just that the leaders of our great Bug People are becoming more and more useless!"

With that said...

Takuya Kojiro reached out and brushed off non-existent dust from his sleeves, then put away his smile.

Adopting the serious posture of a leader, he turned and walked back to his seat, responding toward the door: "You may enter."

*Creak—*

The Japanese-style double doors were gently pushed open from the outside by the officer.

The officer, who had also changed into a Japanese kimono, walked up to Takuya Kojiro, bowed respectfully, and then said:

"Your Excellency Grand Commander!"

"Under your leadership, all our plans to overthrow the old dynasty have been completed one by one!"

"Those factions loyal to the vermin of the old Emperor have all been slaughtered by us! Furthermore, according to your instructions, we have encouraged industry throughout the country and even completed the research and development of three central military factories!"

"As our national strength grows ever stronger, the prestige of our Bug Country is becoming more and more resonant throughout the world!"

"The people also trust you even more!"

[PS: Takuya Kojiro did not use the default name for this territory; he also named this land Bug Country, so this name is used here.]

While speaking, the officer also cast a look of admiration at Takuya Kojiro.

"Hahaha! These are all minor matters!"

Although Takuya Kojiro had some achievements in war games, in real society, he was a total loser.

The relatives and friends he knew all treated Takuya Kojiro like a rat in the gutter, wishing they could stay far away from him on normal days; how could they possibly bestow words of praise upon him?

This led to Takuya Kojiro especially craving the praise of others deep in his heart!

Therefore, even though he knew the person praising him was just a fictional character created by Skynet, he could not suppress the joy in his heart!

Amidst the waves of praise...

Takuya Kojiro truly began to see himself as the hero who led the Bug People to overthrow the old dynasty!

...

[Uh... I take back my previous praise for Takuya Kojiro; his performance really makes me feel a bit ashamed for him.]

[No, man, he's laughing like this just because he's being praised by a game character?]

[I am a psychological counselor in my own civilization, and I can responsibly tell everyone that Takuya Kojiro isn't acting at all right now; he is genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.]

[...I'm dumbfounded.]

[Does Takuya Kojiro not know that the reason this officer praises him so much is entirely because it's a plot necessity?]

[He definitely knows, but why is he still laughing so happily even though he knows?]

[Maybe he really considers himself a powerful figure now.]

[Actually, the funniest part isn't even here. Did you hear what he said before?]

['If I could also serve as the leader in the real world, how could the great Bug People possibly remain beneath the Great Yan Empire for so long? In the end, it's just that the leaders of our great Bug People are becoming more and more useless!' This sentence?]

[Yeah, yeah!]

[I thought betraying his own civilization was already outrageous enough, but I didn't expect him to say something this insane!]

[If he had the chance, wouldn't he have to kill off his own leader?]

[Tsk tsk tsk... luckily everything happening in the war world is just a game; if it were reality, the people of the Bug Country would be in for a miserable time.]

[I suddenly want to take back the bet I placed.]

[+1]

Looking at the self-indulgent Bug Person, the audience in front of the screens were all ashamed.

When other Decipherers come to the war world, they think about how to complete the walkthrough, but what about this guy?

After shaking their heads...

Everyone turned their gaze back to the live stream.

"Your Excellency Grand Commander."

"Your achievements are indeed great, but..."

Right at this moment.

The officer's tone suddenly shifted!

He said with a regretful tone:

"Our local resources are truly too limited! Coupled with the current turmoil among nations and constant warfare, if we confine ourselves to a single piece of land, it will be very difficult to achieve your grand goals."

"Therefore, we hope Your Excellency Grand Commander can lead us to expand the territory of the Bug Country!"

"Let us also reign over the world like the Sun-Shining Empire, ensuring that every place the sun shines upon is our Yamato territory!"

The main event is here!

As the officer voiced this request, a line of dazzling system prompts flashed before Takuya Kojiro's eyes!

[Highest Level Encrypted Mission—The Empire's Co-Prosperity Sphere!]

[The officers of the Bug Empire hope you will lead them to initiate a war, continuously expanding territory through warfare and seizing resources to strengthen yourselves!]

[And the target these people favor most is the neighbor of the Bug Country—the Great Wall Watch!]

[Accept the 'Empire's Co-Prosperity Sphere' mission, and your nation will immediately initiate a war against the [Great Wall Watch] (you can choose to declare war, or start a war without declaration)!]

[There is no time limit for this mission; either the walkthrough is successful, or you initiate surrender/death!]

[PS1: If you reject this mission, the system will deem the walkthrough a failure, and Skynet will immediately reward you with a teleport back to the real world!]

[PS2: You have 180 seconds to think...]

"It's here!"

Excitement flashed in the depths of Takuya Kojiro's eyes.

The war segment he looked forward to most had finally arrived!

As a Decipherer who came with the goal of conquering the [Great Wall Watch] dungeon from the start, how could Takuya Kojiro possibly refuse this mission!

"I agree to your proposal!"

[You have accepted the 'Empire's Co-Prosperity Sphere' mission!]
