Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It seemed as if night had suddenly fallen, and the owl had perfectly blended into the darkness.

Only players who have joined the Night Owl faction still have discussions on their own little corner of the internet.

I did another task today and killed a few insect eggs.

I gathered some more intelligence yesterday.

The mundane daily routine constitutes most of the game time for Night Owl players.

For players who dislike intense combat, staying in Night Owl to run quest loops and grind experience is the best option.

Dawns here are quiet.

When the game time reached February 8102, the update preview for version 2.1 was released.

Fortunately, the official team did not play with the players' feelings this time, allowing them to watch the beginning and end of the Ainz campaign in peace.

The war situation was very tense, and even the same news agency could publish dozens of news articles about the war every day.

Although the war's confined area was much smaller than that of the Mushroom Cloud Galaxy, the intensity of the war far surpassed that of the Selene Incident.

This also accelerated the pace of the war, unlike the Selene Incident, which lasted for more than a year.

The Guardian Legion advanced steadily, with both sides' main combat forces showing no mercy. Two planetary motherships sank into the sea of ​​stars. Even master-level powerhouses from noble families were not spared in the war. Once surrounded, even a master as strong as Loga could not escape with their lives.

This level of warfare made Anran realize the gap between them.

If she hadn't already advanced to the Grandmaster level, even if she brought up all the trump cards of the entire transdimensional world, she would still be nothing special.

The scales of war cannot remain balanced forever.

By the end of February, the Royal Guard had finally broken through the outer defenses of the Aix-en-Provence garrison, drastically changing the course of the war. The Fourth Prince's defeat was now inevitable unless he could pull off a miraculous strike.

But the composed Royal Guards gave them no chance.

They proceeded steadily and cautiously, gradually eroding the resources surrounding Aistar.

Until that day, a massive horde of warships formed an encirclement, and Aistar experienced its longest night.

What does it mean to have the sky covered up and the sun blotted out?

This is!

The night was long, and fear was my only companion.

"I don't want to die. I'm still young, and my life has just begun."

“Child, no one wants to die, but all we can do now is pray.”

"If prayers were effective, what would be the point of warships?"

"I don't want to die, I ......"

Sphinder looked grim as he walked down the street.

After receiving feedback from the Void, he left Baplo and came to Aix-en-Provence, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

However, in the past six months, he has not collected any useful information.

Members of the Royal Knights rarely go out, and even when they do, they are led by Templar Knights. Given his strength, it would be impossible for him to get close to the Templar Knights without being detected.

Sphinder was ashamed.

He promised to help An Ran find out the Royal Knights' purpose, but he couldn't do anything about it.

The only useful information is that the eldest princess of the empire is likely not dead, but is being held captive somewhere.

Svanteich had been to that place, but he dared not get too close, only gazing at it from afar.

"It's time to leave."

Although transportation was paralyzed, leaving Aix was not difficult for Sphinx, who was from the Church of Christ.

During this time, he witnessed firsthand how the residents of Aixing were crushed one by one by the immense pressure.

They have completely lost the confidence and pride they had as residents of the capital.

Because any confidence and pride are no match for a cannon that can crush you.

"I don't want to die" became Ai Xing's phrase of the year.

This doesn't require voting or judges to select.

“But that’s none of my business. I don’t care if the entire empire is destroyed.” Sphinder’s hatred for the empire was beyond words.

He walked indifferently through the dark street.

The streetlights have been damaged by the rioters.

Some people hide away because of their breakdown, while others begin to indulge themselves because of their breakdown, staging one crime after another in the darkness.

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

In Sphinx's view, the void should purify this world!

Humble humans indulge their inner desires, allowing those desires to devour themselves and others.

Only the highest void can save all of this.

Ancient gods?

That's just trash abandoned by time!

The ancient gods want to reappear in the world? Dream on!

The reason for this remark was that Sphinder discovered missionaries in a satellite city near Aix, and he casually shredded them into a pile of mud.

"This is an eyesore!"

Svanteich was about to leave this long night, but before he did, he wanted to check one last time to make sure that the Empire's eldest princess was there.

The Void guided him to cooperate with Anran, and he did not want to tarnish the Void's reputation.

It was a towering building that reached straight to the heavens.

The tower has now collapsed, and the area around it has become a dead zone.

Sphinder hurried along and soon arrived near the tower, casually taking care of several "monsters" who were armed and charging at anyone they saw.

"It seems that won't work."

Sphinder stopped in his tracks.

He saw someone he recognized: Anatoly, the vice-commander of the Royal Knights. Anatoly was dressed in casual clothes and stood calmly in front of the collapsed tower.

"Let's go."

Sphinder shook his head.

But at least he knew that this place was related to the Royal Knights.

I discovered a tall tower on the planet Aiolos...

After editing the message, Sphinder dug a tunnel and quickly jumped in.

Shortly after he left, someone suddenly appeared, frowned, and investigated for a long time before leaving.

Chapter 72 The spotlight on the stage begins to move

What exactly happened outside?

Princess Orina lifted a wooden board on the door, poked half her face out, and shouted anxiously.

The place where she was being held was supposed to be very soundproof, yet just now she heard a tremendous sound that seemed to indicate the collapse of the heavens and earth.

The sound lasted for more than ten minutes, which frightened Olina so much that she stayed curled up on the bed for more than ten minutes.

Orina started screaming the moment the loud noise stopped.

Is anyone there?

"Hey, is anyone there?!"

Orina's cries went unanswered.

The crisp sound echoed back and forth in the long corridor.

In the end, Orina had no choice but to put down the plank.

nobody.

"Could it be that someone has come to rescue me? Have all the guards gone out to fight?"

No, no, that's not right.

Orina quickly ruled out that possibility.

If someone really comes to rescue her, the guards will be even less likely to abandon her.

Even if someone is very confident, they should still send a few people over to assess the situation. If they feel they can't win, they might even grab her and use her as leverage against the other side.

So what exactly caused the originally soundproof detention center to become soundproof?

Orina was completely baffled.

Just as she was feeling frustrated, the tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open.

Yes, it was kicked away.

The entire door instantly slid to the other end of the room, smashing the table placed there to pieces.

The door remained intact and embedded in the wall, as if opening it there would allow one to leave directly.

The person who appeared in front of the doorway was Anatoly, whom Sphinder had seen outside before.

Olina's eyelids twitched as she looked at the shattered table; there were things she liked there.

Anatole, dressed in a white tracksuit, fixed his gaze on Olina and said with a smile, "Princess, this place is no longer suitable for you. Come with me, and I will take you to your new residence."

"What exactly happened just now?" Orina did not refute Anatoly.

She knew it was ineffective.

Rather than endure a few scoldings, it's better to obediently cooperate with Anatoli.

The eldest princess is a smart person.
