I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 164: The Empire's Actions, Segret's Warning

"Is there any movement from Miss Esther's side?"

Sallylan had not left yet and was also in the tavern. When she saw Ivan suddenly laugh and say these words, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Esther plans to make a mind-interference defense device first..."

"If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, she will probably look for the royal family first, and then the magic academy and the sharpshooter's guild."

“I hope you can help make it.”

"Don't make things difficult for her then, just help her directly."

Upon hearing this, Alvin explained Esther's situation.

"Okay, if she comes to ask for help, I will help her."

"But do we need to make some plans for the intervention of other imperial armies?"

Sally Lan was also one of the people who witnessed the progress of the players' attack.

"I have made plans."

"Segret will prevent those who are too strong from boarding the Skyshroud Beast."

"For those who are not strong enough, if they don't have special equipment to defend against mental attacks, they will just be a burden to the enemy if they board the Sky Curtain Beast."

"Don't worry too much about the rest."

Hearing this, Alvin shook his head slightly, picked up the wine glass and spoke slowly.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Queen Freya tomorrow."

Sallylan heard that Ivan would only interfere in matters related to the Sky Curtain Beast this time.

As long as no one plans to take down the Sky Curtain Beast directly, it is not Alvin's business whether people from other empires want to cause chaos in the Principality of Stan.

Then, Sally Lan also pulled away.

Only Sosia and Ivan were left in the Moonlight Tavern.

"Mr. Irving, how far has your alliance with Segrete progressed?"

Sosia swirled the glass gently.

“The stage of a trusted ally.”

"The premise is that we have a common enemy to deal with, and there are risks."

Alvin knew what Sosiah meant by asking, so he took a gulp of the wine and said.

"This trust should only last until Bakar arrives."

Sosiah seemed to be thinking deeply after hearing this.

"Yes."

"Segret has inherited some of Bakar's characteristics."

"But they are similar at best. Bakar's strategy, courage, and arrogance are far superior to those of Begret."

"Whether we can continue to deepen cooperation at that time depends on whether the negotiations go smoothly."

Ivan nodded slightly.

Bakar is an ambitious overlord. It is hard to say what he will think when he finds out about the world behind the sealed door.

After all, Bakar is a man who is afraid of chaos in the world, and he even wants to find a way to kill the first apostle, the Fated One, Kahn, and the second apostle, the Crying Eye, Held.

"Our world really causes Mr. Irving a lot of trouble."

Sosia knew that the situation in Lant Continent might get worse in the future.

"I'm just trying to do what I can within my ability."

Although Alvin felt that he had been very busy recently, he did not find it troublesome.

"If you need any help from me, you can always tell me."

"I don't like fighting, but when faced with a battle that must be fought, I still have some strength to show."

Sosia smiled slightly when she saw that Ivan, the distinguished guest from another world, was so concerned about the Lant Continent.

"Don't worry, the current problems are not to the point where I can't handle them."

"You can continue to do what you are interested in first."

"It may take a long time for the peaceful moments to come."

Upon hearing this, Ivan also smiled.

"I feel relieved that Mr. Ivan is taking care of it."

Sosia smiled back, indicating that it was okay.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while and talked about some things in other empires. Then they each drank the elf sleeping essence and rested.

Compared to the peace in the Principality of Stan.

Inside the Imperial Palace of St. Peter.

Because the first wave of 3,000 soldiers sent by the empire to explore, as well as the generals leading the team, were all wiped out.

The leader of the team is a level 60 warrior, and there are several thousand level soldiers and knights.

This force is a backbone force that cannot be underestimated in any empire, but the circumstances of their death are unclear.

"There is an endless deep sea here... It's so deep... It will never reach the bottom..."

"There is an invincible unknown here... Don't... come... ah."

"We didn't even see the shadow of the monster... Our former companions, commanders, and brothers... were all killing each other..."

"I seem to be crazy too... I saw a... ah"

"Haha... Mother, I miss you so much... No... You are not Mother... What the hell are you..."

In the palace of the St. Peter Empire, strong men gathered, and each of them was listening to the dying voice and the message sent back by the exploration team before their death.

Inside the main hall of the imperial palace, the atmosphere was filled with solemnity, and the faces of all the powerful men in the palace were extremely serious.

"I am deeply saddened by the death of three thousand loyal men of our empire."

"Vanessa Fiona, I order you to lead a team to investigate on the back of the Sky Curtain Beast."

"And investigate the specific conditions of these soldiers. If any of them have met with an accident, their remains must be brought back to the empire."

The Emperor of St. Peter clenched his fists so tightly that veins were bulging, and there was anger in his voice.

"Yes, I will accept your order."

A tall woman with silver hair, red eyes and wearing armor knelt on one knee and responded.

"I am here, waiting for your triumphant return."

"I will hold a celebration banquet to entertain all of you, my dear ministers."

The Emperor of St. Peter was extremely pleased to see the loyalty shown by this woman.

"Thank you, my king!"

As his order was given, all the soldiers below the throne steps responded in unison.

Vanessa Fiona walked out of the palace at this time, looked up at the full moon hanging high in the sky, and a team came behind her.

"This journey is extremely dangerous, so I won't waste my time talking to you."

"I'll give you two hours to go back and greet your families and leave a suicide note."

"Deal with everything and gather at the Sith Port."

Vanessa looked back at the team of only a hundred people she led.

"Yes!"

This team is composed entirely of women, but each of them exudes a solemn and cold aura.

Vanessa lifted her leather-shod feet and strolled through the empire toward the Sith port.

She is not the strongest person in the St. Peter Empire. It is the emperor who is really determined to capture the sky-curtain beast, and there are better candidates than her.

The first wave of exploration team did not bring back any good news, but instead all bad news that could easily make people lose their fighting spirit.

At this time, a layer of haze was cast over the hearts of many powerful people and different troops in the empire.

Even though she knew it was a life-threatening journey, she still had to go.

This is the fate of the Sword of the Empire. When she bears the honor of this title, she will become the sharp knife of the empire, piercing through the haze and bringing a ray of light to the empire.

As Vanessa walked, she looked at the hometown and scenery that she had seen since she was a child, and imprinted them all firmly in her mind.

This memory can give her stronger faith.

Two hours later, Vanessa and her team boarded the Empire's airship and flew to the Principality of Stan.

The St. Peter Empire is adjacent to the Principality of Stan, and airships can directly cross mountains and rivers.

It only takes twelve hours to travel from the capital of the St. Peter Empire to the capital of the Principality of Stan, the Sgri region.

※※※※※※※

The next morning, at ten o'clock.

When Vanessa Fiona took the airship, she overlooked the capital of the Principality of Stan, the Sgri area, through the sky route over the sea.

When he found that the Sgri area was still peaceful and prosperous, his eyes were a little dazed.

She vaguely remembered that the atmosphere in the imperial capital of St. Peter was similar when she was young.

The residents lived and worked in peace and contentment, talked and laughed with the soldiers, and all walks of life were full of hope. However, since the accession of St. Peter III, the atmosphere of the empire has undergone earth-shaking changes.

There was constant friction with various empires, principalities, and kingdoms, and they continued to infiltrate each other.

As a result, even in the capital of the empire, which should have been prosperous and peaceful, everyone was in danger for fear of being labeled a traitor.

The arrival of the Imperial airship did not escape the eyes of the powerful men in the Sgri region.

"It's only been a few days since the last wave came, and this second wave is already here?"

"Sure enough, the darkest family is the royal family."

On the streets of the West Coast, an old woman who runs a magic props shop is looking at the airship logo in the distant sky.

"There's nothing I can do. Most kings in this world are full of ambition."

"Kings like Queen Freya who are content to stay in their place and only want to protect their own little piece of land are very rare."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many friends in the Sgri area."

A man in a blue mask who was selling jars at a stall had a teasing tone in his voice.

The fundamental reason why there are so many hidden talents in the Sigri region is that many people do not like the land where they were born, so they have to travel around to find a safe place outside.

The Principality of Stan is the most stable and peaceful place among the nearby countries.

Although it is just a principality and the territory is not that vast, at least there is basically no need to worry about frequent conflicts with soldiers from other countries.

"Sword of the Empire Vanessa Fiona, tsk tsk, the St. Peter Empire really sent a master this time."

"But can she climb onto the Sky Curtain Beast?"

"I don't think so. She chose a bad flight route."

"The one from the Sky City has been watching."

The area on the west coast has the most powerful people in the Sgri area.

The Queen's Palace is located here, as well as the School of Magic, the Gunslinger's Guild, and various guilds and associations with great influence.

Most of them already knew about the news that the empire had sent people to come. Even if they didn't know, they would have heard about it from other people's gossip.

If the back of the Sky Curtain Beast was really that easy to explore, Mr. Alvin would not have specifically reminded them.

Therefore, although many powerful people in the Sgri region were curious about the scene on the back of the Sky Curtain Beast, none of them acted rashly. After all, there were plenty of people who would go and die for them to explore.

Just as they were discussing whether the Sword of the Empire could board.

The airship of Vanessa Fiona, the Imperial Sword of the St. Peter Empire, was also getting closer and closer to the Sky Curtain Beast.

When the distance was only two kilometers, hundreds of terrifying beam cannons fired from the sky city, converging into a spider-web-like laser net in the sky.

The speed of this beam cannon is so fast that it is difficult for people to react.

Almost at the moment when others saw it, the beam cannon had penetrated the sail of the airship, and the hull was dismembered.

"People above level 70 are forbidden to step on the Sky Curtain Beast."

"Since you are the first offender, I will give you a light punishment."

"If you knowingly commit a crime, your end will be like a blimp."

A voice that resounded through the sky came from the City in the Sky, and the voice was full of tyranny.

At this moment, Segret announced the rules for landing on the Sky Curtain Beast.

Vanessa had no injuries on her body at this time, and she quickly checked the subordinates who came with her.

When she found out that none of them were dead, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She knew that the Lord of the City of Light, Segret, had held back and only dismantled their airship that was flying towards the Sky Curtain Beast, and did not take their lives directly.

"When descending from this height, you must protect your body at the critical moment."

Vanessa was giving orders quickly at this time.

They are now ten thousand meters above the ground, and even though there is ocean below them, it can reduce the impact force a little.

But if they are not careful, they may fall to their death.

Currently on the West Coast.

"See, I told you she couldn't get in."

"Mr. Irwin said that those who are too strong cannot go up."

"I didn't expect that this limit is above level 70. It seems that our strength is still somewhat sufficient."

"The arrival of the Sky Curtain Beast did not bring disaster. If someone too strong were allowed to climb up there, causing the Sky Curtain Beast to fall down, it would be a disaster beyond imagination."

"Then the Sgri region and the Sky City will surely be affected."

"It's understandable that those above level 70 are not allowed to go up."

“I don’t know when this ban will be lifted.”

"Wait. When the situation becomes clear, Mr. Ivan will probably negotiate with the person from Sky City."

The powerful men at the West Coast Port were not surprised to see the Sword of the Empire's airship being shot down directly.

The Lord of the City of Light, Segret, is a terrifying figure who has forced the Sgri region, which is ruled by three extremely powerful men, to resort to negotiation to stop the war.

In the territory of the Sky City, if you want to bypass Segret and deal with the Sky Curtain Beast, that would be courting death.

At first, Mr. Ivin asked them to make their own preparations, but after discussion, they all agreed to wait patiently.

Mr. Ivan will definitely have some plans, so they just need to run their business and live their lives in peace. Some things on the back of the Sky Curtain Beast will surely be revealed gradually over time.

However, just because they have this consensus does not mean that the villains in other empires know it.

Vanessa and others fell into the sea. Except for Vanessa, the other men were basically injured, with either broken ribs or fractures.

These injuries are not serious to them.

As long as we ask a priest to help, this kind of injury can be healed very easily.

"Go ashore first."

Vanessa knew that now that the airship had been sunk, the only places she could land on were the Sky City and the west coast, and the rest were all ocean.

When Vanessa and others landed on the shore.

"My name is Melinda, and I'm the commander of the Phoenix Guards of the Principality of Stan."

"Although you are uninvited, as the host, I still need to receive you."

"Follow me, I will take you to the Church of Light and find someone to heal your injuries."

Melinda looked at the group of outsiders in front of her who looked like drowned rats, but did not show any direct hostility.

The St. Peter Empire has recently frequently sent people to infiltrate the territory of the Principality of Stan, but no one has been killed and no conflict has broken out, so it is not easy for her to take them down directly.

"Thank you."

Vanessa looked at the woman in front of her who was only in her fifties and could actually become the leader of a country. Although she felt that she was not a threat, she was grateful for the kindness she showed.

"I am only doing my duty as host."

"Let me tell you about the rules of the Sgri region."

Melinda turned and led the team toward Sgli Front Street.

"A new beauty?"

"Silver hair and red eyes, I like it."

"You look like a swordsman."

“Is it possible to have a new genre?”

"Who knows? These strong men are all running around."

Some players saw what was happening on the west coast, and those who had time came to watch the fun. After discovering Vanessa's appearance, they all became very interested.

Vanessa and her group followed Melinda's lead and attracted a lot of attention.

At the same time, Vanessa was also observing the onlookers. When she found that there were many strong people around her who were no weaker than her, she was filled with confusion.

Why would these guys choose to stay in this small place like the Principality of Stan?

"Sword of the Empire Vanessa Fiona, I have heard of your name."

"I don't know how many days you will stay here, but I think you have just been ordered to land the Skyshroud Behemoth."

"Then it is definitely not the same as the departure and return."

"So let me tell you about the rules in the Sgri area."

"As long as you follow the rules here and behave yourself."

"Then Queen Sgri won't expel you right away."

Melinda said as she walked ahead.

"Shouldn't the rules of the Sigri region be the rules of the Principality of Stan?"

When Vanessa heard the region in front and the kingdom in the back, she thought she had heard wrongly.

"That's the rule in the Sigri area."

"We also don't want you to die in the Sgri region instead of at the hands of the Sky City's Lord of Light, Segrete, and for your Saint Peter Empire to use that as an excuse to attack us."

"So you guys should spend a few days here peacefully, recover from your injuries and make some preparations, then go back."

“There aren’t many rules here, you just need to know the rules during the day and at night.”

"And who should never be messed with in this area."

"Then you can leave the Principality of Stan safely and return to your empire."

"We have expressed our goodwill and hope you will not make things difficult for us."

After hearing this, Melinda confirmed that it was the rules of the Sgri region, not the rules of the Principality of Stan.

"Okay, we won't cause any trouble here."

Vanessa nodded slightly and agreed.

"Since you have this intention, let me tell you the rules."

"First of all, there are many hidden talents in the Sigri region, but those guys are all very low-key and live a stable life."

"So as long as you follow normal social etiquette, there will be little chance of violent conflict."

"Also, as a woman, don't go out at night if you have nothing to do."

"Although you are very strong, much stronger than me, your men are also quite strong."

"I believe that everyone has a position or a skill."

"But the night in the Sgri region is the time of the lawless."

"I grew up here and served Queen Sgri, who is loved by the lawless, so they won't target me."

"But you outsiders are always at risk if you go out at night."

"If you get into trouble, don't say I didn't warn you."

Melinda saw that Vanessa agreed, so she led the way and explained the rules of the Sgri area to them.

Melinda also served the royal family, so she naturally knew that as the king's subordinates, most of the time they had to do what they were told to do, without any other choice.

Therefore, she did not deliberately make things difficult for Vanessa because she wanted to board the Sky Curtain but was shot down, and was now forced to land at the west coast port to rest.

Moreover, she had heard of the name of St. Peter's Imperial Sword for a long time.

If Vanessa went to other empires, she might be immediately imprisoned because she had the blood of soldiers from other empires on her hands.

However, Vanessa was not stained with the blood of the Stan Principality warriors, so even if the other party did not visit openly, Melinda would not make a big fuss.

"Yes, we will remember it. We will go back after recuperating here."

Vanessa did not show any disdain when she heard this, but agreed.

"I don't need to tell you too much about the rest."

"I believe that as the trusted and beloved generals of the Emperor of Saint Peter, you naturally know that you cannot enter important places in other countries at will."

"We're here. This is the Church of Light in our Sigri area."

"Miss Gloria, there are some wounded people here. I hope we can get your help."

Melinda led the way while explaining the rules, and as they spoke they arrived at the gate of the Church of Light.

As soon as she finished speaking, Vanessa felt the light elements around her begin to stir, and a holy woman with blonde hair and blue eyes walked out of the church.

"Commander Melinda, I know what's going on. Although I'm an outsider, I can still help if you're in trouble."

Galanthia clasped her hands together, and holy light burst out like the warm sun, bathing the bodies of Vanessa and other human beings.

Vanessa did not suffer any injuries this time, but under this holy light, she felt the hidden injuries in her body from previous battles becoming hot.

A comfortable feeling filled her whole body, making Vanessa feel unprecedented relaxation.

This terrifying healing ability made Vanessa stare with eyes wide open at the woman in front of her, who exuded a holy aura all over her body and looked like an angel descended to earth.

The power of the Church of Light is very huge. Except for extremely xenophobic countries, almost every kingdom, principality, and empire has a stronghold of the Church of Light.

"Thank you for your generous assistance."

“This is a small thank you gift from us, please accept it, Bishop Galandia.

Vanessa knew that the other party was not only helping to heal her injuries, but was directly healing her old injuries. She was deeply shocked and immediately took out a bag of money.

"The money should be taken back, and rescuing those who are in deep distress is what our church should do."

"This healing will last for several days, and by then all the old injuries in your body will be healed without any accidents."

"If you want to thank me, as outsiders, remember not to cause trouble while you are here to recuperate. That would be the greatest thank you to me."

"Everyone can leave now."

The smile on Gloria's face remained unchanged, but her originally gentle and pleasant voice now had a hint of coldness.

Then, Galanthia turned around and walked directly into the Church of Light.

"What's wrong with her?"

"I gave her money as a reward, so I didn't do anything wrong."

Vanessa saw that she took the money to express her gratitude, but it made the other party very unhappy.

"Ms. Gloria, I have never charged money for curing others' illnesses or solving their problems."

"Now that you have received the grace of healing and understand the rules of this place."

"I'll take you to eat and get tidy, and you can do whatever you want here."

"Just remember not to break the rules."

Melinda spoke up upon hearing this.

"No reward required?"

"But other clergymen at the bishop level all need remuneration."

"From what I heard, he is a clergyman of the bishop level in the St. Peter Empire."

"It's hard to get them to heal even if we pay them."

Vanessa found it unbelievable to hear that no money had ever been collected.

"Other clergy are other clergy. They have nothing to do with Miss Galandia."

"Come on, I'll introduce you to some reliable restaurants."

"So that you don't get ripped off and ruin the reputation of our Principality of Stan."

Melinda also knew what Vanessa meant and didn't explain too much.

Many clergy of the Church of Light loudly proclaim the purpose of the church, but what they do is not so bright, and there are even many unspoken rules that cannot be spoken of openly.

But Miss Galanthia is indeed different from other clergymen.

Even the clergy in the Sgri region need to pay a lot of money if they want to save people from suffering.

Taking money is a minor matter. There are some dirty clergymen who shout slogans of compassion for the world but do shameful things.

However, holy magic is not something that ordinary people can learn, so as long as it is not too excessive, Queen Sgri will turn a blind eye to it.

I just don’t know why Miss Gloria discovered these people before.

He directly swept through the Church of Light, which he presided over, with the force of thunder. He executed some of them personally and some were sent back to the cathedral of the Church of Light.

Those who stayed were clergymen who usually collected money, but not too expensively.

As for those clergymen who made trouble in the name of clergymen and those who colluded with nobles and criminals, they all ended up in a bad way.

After that cleanup, the Church of Light in the Sgri area was completely transformed.

Even clergy who charge fees will charge varying amounts of fees based on the identity and ability of the person seeking help, and sometimes it is completely free.

However, Miss Galanthia can only influence the church she presides over at most, and cannot influence the entire Church of Light on her own.

"It is a blessing for the Sgri region to have Bishop Golandia."

When Vanessa heard that Bishop Galatia was different from other bishops, she thought of many things and roughly knew what the difference was. Looking at the church in front of her, she sighed.

As the Imperial Sword of the St. Peter Empire, Vanessa is not the strongest in the empire, but she also holds a high position.

The world she could see and the areas she could touch were simply inaccessible to ordinary people. Naturally, she also saw the dark side of the Church of Light.

"I think so."

"Ms. Galandia has a very high reputation in the Sgri region due to her holy character and her true desire to save the people."

Melinda smiled slightly when she heard this.

Later, Melinda takes Vanessa to the Moonlight Tavern in the back street.

Melinda was no longer surprised to see various players staring at Vanessa along the way.

The thinking of these players is completely different from theirs. There are only some powerful outsiders in the Sgri area.

There was no need for their Fengwu Guards to investigate. Just by occasionally listening to the players' idle chats, they could roughly know the outsider's movements, specific appearance, and the players' impressions of the outsider.

When Melinda brought Vanessa and a group of female knights to the back street and arrived at the Moonlight Tavern.

All the drinkers and players in the Moonlight Tavern looked over here.

Players are now accustomed to the rules of the game "Oracle".

They know that they can give slight comments and praise to people whose ranks they cannot clearly see, but they cannot be too unscrupulous.

However, when they saw Vanessa Fiona, the beautiful lady with silver hair and red eyes, they couldn't help but be attracted to her.

The drinkers in the tavern were also looking at the beautiful woman who came with Commander Melinda.

They had already given up many of their thoughts for the sake of Commander Melinda.

When they realized that they couldn't see through Vanessa's level, these people's minds were basically completely restrained.

While the drinkers and players in the Moonlight Tavern were observing Vanessa, Vanessa was also observing the situation in the tavern.

When Vanessa found a large group of high-level elemental elves serving food and wine in front of her, she had to say she was shocked.

For many magicians who are learning summoning magic, high-level elemental elves are already considered their ultimate magic.

But in this pub, everyone seems to be doing the odd jobs of waiters for free.

The drinkers in this tavern all look tough, with a bunch of them in their thirties or forties.

The lawless ones all have a special temperament, so Vanessa could tell the approximate origins of these guys at a glance.

As Vanessa glanced around, she discovered that the level of the blonde and blue-eyed elf behind the bar was so high that she couldn't see through it at first glance, and her eyes narrowed.

"Commander Melinda, good morning. Do you have any instructions?"

Yolanda was slacking off, eating snacks and drinking juice, when she noticed Commander Melinda suddenly arriving, she immediately stood up and ran over.

"I am just entertaining outsiders from another country."

"You don't need to worry about me, just do your job well."

Melinda saw that there was still a mark on Yolanda's mouth that had not been wiped off, and she did not scold her in public, but let Yolanda stay where she wanted.

Although Yolanda was a little lazy, she was responsible for communicating with Miss Sosia and guarding the task platform without any mistakes, so she was not too harsh on Yolanda.

People in different positions have different ways of dealing with people. A casual personality like Yolanda's makes him more likely to be liked by drinkers and players.

"Yes!"

When Yolanda heard that there were visitors from other countries, she did not look at them blatantly, but bowed and ran back to her seat.

However, Yolanda knew the rules. When other drinkers and players heard that this beautiful woman with silver hair and red eyes was a foreigner from another country, they couldn't help but look at Vanessa curiously.

Although there are many outsiders from other countries in the Principality of Stan, they usually seek development here on their own initiative and will not directly alarm the Fengwu Guards who are responsible for their reception.

Soon, some drinkers were able to identify Vanessa's identity based on her appearance and clothing.

Some people who saw the identity simply looked away.

The drinkers in the Moonlight Tavern were all shrewd people. Although they didn't know the origins of the silver-haired woman, through the looks and actions of other drinkers, they all knew that this woman's origins were not simple.

"Ms. Sosia, is there room to entertain these guests?"

Melinda asked as she came to the bar with a smile on her face.

"Of course, just follow the elves."

When Sosia saw Vanessa's level, she didn't say much, but just did what a tavern owner should do.

Then, Vanessa followed Melinda to the side of the tavern where there were a lot of empty tables.

Even though it was such a short distance, Vanessa felt countless stares at her.

These drinkers are not all completely obedient; instead, they are weighing something.

It seems that Melinda's reminder to her not to hang around outside at night was true.

The lawless guys are lawless and will rob and kill people in a matter of minutes if they are given an opportunity.

Generally speaking, there are also lawless people in the empire and their number is quite large. There are some shameful things that cannot be brought to the table, so the lawless people are needed to do them.

But no king will allow the lawless to be so free, nor can he make these unruly guys abide by the rules obediently.

Because each of the lawless people is extremely vicious and bloodthirsty, it is basically impossible to make them behave themselves.

But in the Sgri area, this impossible thing happened.

The daytime belongs to normal people, while the night after dark is the time for the lawless.

"Do you know why I brought you here when there are so many restaurants in the Sgri area?"

Melinda looked at Vanessa and asked meaningfully.

"I know that you can at most subdue me, but you can't subdue that person."

Vanessa could see Melinda's purpose when she heard this. She was warning her not to set her sights on the Sgri area.

“It’s not a bad thing to be ambitious, but not everything can be accomplished with ambition.”

"If you, as a leader, fail to listen to the advice of your subordinates, then the St. Peter Empire will be doomed."

Melinda spoke slowly when she heard that she could not deter the ambition of the Emperor of the St. Peter Empire.

"That's the higher-ups' business, and has nothing to do with people like me. All I have to do is follow orders."

Vanessa sighed when she heard this and said softly.

"Your first wave of explorers weren't very strong. I think it was because you were afraid of angering the one in the Sky City."

"You are part of the second wave. If the man from the Sky City hadn't held back..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Since you have already made up your mind, it will be useless for me to say more."

"Let's not talk about these bad things."

"Let's order some food. The food here at Boss Sosia is very delicious."

When Melinda saw Vanessa's statement, she suppressed many of the things she wanted to say.

She didn't want to win over Vanessa and change her loyalty to Queen Sgri. She just wanted to advise Vanessa as she was the superior of many people.

After all, if the Lord of the City of Light, Segret, had not just given a warning, Vanessa and the one hundred subordinates behind her would have been reduced to ashes.

And even if Vanessa returns safely this time, her situation will not be very good as long as she fails to complete the instructions of the Emperor of St. Peter.

Although the emperor of the Empire of St. Peter seemed to love his subordinates and had a reputation for wisdom outside.

But Melinda followed Queen Sgri and came into contact with all kinds of information.

It can be seen that St. Peter III was definitely not a wise emperor, but was known for his insidiousness, ambition, and cold-bloodedness. This was evident from the fact that he did not care about the lives of the imperial soldiers in various wars.

"..."

When Vanessa heard that if the Lord of the City of Light had not held back, her body trembled slightly.

Some of the subordinates who came with Vanessa to carry out the mission also had complicated expressions.

Judging from the situation they were attacked from, if the man from the Sky City did not hold back.

They were indeed dead this time and could not sit here and eat.

The leader of the first wave of exploration was of relatively low strength because after discussion, they were worried about angering the Lord of Light of the Sky City, Segret.

When they learned that there was no good news from the back of the Sky Curtain Beast, the second wave sent out, that is, they, were a team of suicide squads.

While testing the Lord of the Sky City, he was also trying to see if he could make a difference by landing on the Sky Curtain Beast.

Perhaps because they had survived a disaster, Vanessa and the others felt the meal was more delicious than ever before and felt like they were alive.

The meal was quickly finished in silence.

"Although I didn't come here the right way, I am a guest since I came from afar."

"You guys just recuperate here for a while, and find an opportunity to return as soon as possible to take up your mission."

This time, Melinda paid the bill directly and said goodbye to Vanessa and others at the door of the Moonlight Tavern.

No one was specifically targeting Vanessa and her group because she knew the character of St. Peter III.

If Vanessa and others come to carry out the mission this time and fail to bring back useful results and spoils of war, they will definitely be punished.

Melinda as she passed by Vanessa.

"As a commander, I also need to be responsible for my subordinates."

"Let me remind you, you are lucky to have survived this time, but I'm afraid things won't turn out well when you return."

“Remember, don’t look at what people say, look at what they do.”

"A person who says nice things but does nothing is not worthy of loyalty."

"The Lant Continent is huge. You don't have to obey the orders of others to have a sense of survival and a chance."

"That's all I have to say. I hope we will have a chance to see each other again in the future."

Melinda's voice was very soft and didn't travel too far, but it reached the ears of Vanessa and many of her subordinates.

These words shocked Vanessa and her one hundred men.

"Thank you for the reminder. I will consider it carefully."

Vanessa's expression was a little complicated as she spoke.

She knew that Melinda was not trying to win her over to serve Queen Sgri.

Because even if she was willing to serve Queen Sgri, the Sgri royal family would not dare to accept her.

So these words are really just a reminder from someone with a similar identity.

Today's update is a little late, but here are ten thousand words. Thank you for the reward from those who were too tired to sleep in.
