A very absurd idea suddenly popped up in her mind. Camisia couldn't help but show her inner ups and downs on her face, with a smile appearing between her eyebrows.

"Why not just change the rule that the royal family of the God-man race must marry into the God-man race, whose bloodline is purest? Let the God-man princess belong to you, Princess-sama, and taint the purest existence of a race said to be closest to God... How interesting—well, no, the final outcome depends on you, Princess-sama. No matter what you decide, I—"we" will definitely fight with all our might."

The idea was unanimously agreed upon by the other Camisia in the Golden Cat Eyes.

Camisia's smile made Iris narrow her eyes slightly, but she soon guessed what Camisia was thinking and showed a sly smile that was no different from Camisia's.

"I don't mind it developing like this. It would be just as good for everyone if I took the initiative, wouldn't it?"

"What are you talking about?"

Camisia took a sip of black tea.

"Who knows?"

Elise shrugged.

Chapter 39 Sister Mitis

*创世纪6187年6月29日 下午12:44分 黑龙山脉北部

"I didn't expect them to actually hide here. Aren't these poachers afraid of being attacked by the undead born from the swamp? Swamp monsters are generally stronger than those on land. Are they willing to do anything to hide themselves?"

Hearing what Mitis said, Nanako, who was looking down beside her, also agreed.

"He's a desperado indeed."

After a day's trek, the army led by Mitis - about three thousand people - was standing on the rolling hills of the Black Dragon Mountains. The swamp basin about two thousand meters below was the stronghold where the poachers were hiding on the map.

According to the information provided by the adventurers, this base is their destination. As for the starting point, since there was only one person wrapped in black cloth when they accepted the mission, their exact location will not be known until they complete the previous mission, so there is no way to trace it back.

The top of this basin is blocked by a mountain, and the surrounding area is covered with thick plants. Even if you observe carefully, it is difficult to find it from above. Apart from the stench emitted by the dead bodies in the basin, it can be said to be the perfect hiding place. Perhaps the swamp and the corpses are also the means by which poachers use it to conceal their tracks and station themselves in places that are difficult for ordinary people to access. From this perspective, one has to applaud.

Mitis couldn't help but sigh.

Should I say it's a good thing that I only brought 3,000 people this time... The swamp environment really can't bring out the combat power of the legion level. According to my original idea, only bringing about 50 elite people to break in can achieve the desired effect. But because Gerard couldn't let anyone escape, he forced himself to add an army of 1,000 people, so that he had to spend nearly an extra day on the road, which really made me a little dissatisfied.

"If we finish this quickly, we can go back to Ella sooner..."

"Mitis-sama has become obsessed with Ella-sama."

“Eh? Eh? Nanako, did you hear what I just said?”

Mitis tilted her head in astonishment. Things had unknowingly developed into the result she least wanted.

Nanako blinked in confusion.

"Is it something I can't hear? If so, I'll forget it."

"That's not the point..."

Mitis hesitated, remembering what she had said to Ella before, that she would find an opportunity to confess to Nanako. After swallowing her non-existent saliva, she spoke cautiously.

"It's inappropriate to say this here, but, Nanako, I have something I must tell you."

"If something happened between you and Lady Ella, then there's no need for you, Lady Mitis, to blame yourself."

"D-Did Nanako already figure it out? Practicing...practice or something."

In order to emphasize the legitimacy of the matter, Mitis specifically emphasized the word "practice".

"I don't know what the training is, but I think Mitis-sama has found the right person. I can rest assured then."

Nanako's rabbit ears kept shaking and she looked very happy.

This behavior made Mitis feel confused. Nanako might be lying to her, but the rabbit ears on her head definitely wouldn't. If it were her, in this situation, she would not cry, and she would definitely not feel happy.

Is it because I am too sad, and good times will come after bad times?

Mitis had an expression of "Oh no" as if she had missed a step.

"Nanako...are you really okay?"

"Of course, Lady Mitis is like a sister to me... like a mother."

As a blush appeared on Nanako's face, it was as if she was releasing the emotions that had been hidden for a long time in one breath, and there was a sense of complete liberation in her expression.

"Mom, Mom?"

Mitis felt her brain was in a trance. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of the affection between mother and daughter. This was an unbearable feeling for her, a girl who was only in her teens, even though she was about to die according to human calculations.

Looking at Mitis's stunned expression, Nanako shyly turned her head slightly to the side and looked away, her rabbit ears drooping.

"As expected, I shouldn't have said that..."

“Ah…ah…I’m surprised…I’m surprised…but I’m glad that Nanako is willing to express herself. Mm…I’m glad.”

Rather than being happy, it would be more accurate to say that I felt subtle, a mixture of relief, having family, and a sudden sense of responsibility.

"Then...can I call Mitis-sama, Mom?"

"...Should I just call you onee-chan?"

"Is that so..."

Although she couldn't bear to see Nanako's petite body and drooping rabbit ears, she couldn't accept calling her "mom" from the very beginning. Mitis had already decided in her heart that even if Nanako insisted on doing so in the end, she had to give herself a gradual process.

Soon, Nanako recovered from her loss, raised her head again, and stared at Mitis who was about to cover her face with her hands with her tearful red eyes.

"So...Mitis-sister?"

"what……"

The name was so hurtful that Mitis was stunned.

"Still... not working?"

"Uh, no, that's not the point. Not at all. It's just fine this way. It suits me perfectly. Yeah, I like it."

Mitis nodded repeatedly, then as if remembering something, she reached out and touched Nanako's head.

"Can I just call you Nanako like before?"

"Of course you can!"

"Well, that completes another scheduled mission. I'll have to talk to Ella about this when I get back."

It mainly talks about how much he didn't expect Nanako to have such affection for him. Thinking back to what he had said to Ella before, "That child must like me", Mitis was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out.

After all, narcissism has a limit. Not only did he not see it, he let the misunderstanding continue for decades. He even pretended to know everything and told Ella about it in person. If he was the only one around here, Mitis would definitely rush into the poachers' base and vent his anger on them.

That's right, blood is not only the best stimulant for vampires, but also the best sedative in some cases - although it is very subtle to say this, there is nothing wrong with it for Mitis now. As long as the desire for blood suppresses shyness, it will have a calming effect.

Thinking of this, Mitis touched Nanako's head and gave orders to her subordinates.

"Sieve this area up and check for possible escape routes. I'll go in with the elite troops I've selected."

"yes!"

Following Mitis's words, the army of 3,000 people immediately began to move.

Chapter 40 Breaking In

*创世纪6187年6月29日 下午19:28分 黑龙山脉北部

After the sun sets, Mitis's army will completely surround the swamp. It is certain that no one can escape from here unless there is teleportation magic.

Although the view was not very clear due to the obstruction of the bushes, the light of fire on the other side of the swamp could still be vaguely distinguished - the enemy used the cave left by the monster as a base, and with hundreds of meters of swamp in between, it was very difficult to attack.

"But if we can successfully break in, it will be a one-sided victory... In a way, that's not bad."

Wiping the beads of sweat running down his neck, Mitis covered his nose and said that the stench accumulated in the swamp and the heat of summer would make anyone frown. If they stayed here all the time, it felt like their lifespan would be shortened. Mitis couldn't help but sigh at the poachers' endurance.

"Lord Mitis, there's magic in the cave that's hindering exploration, and our people weren't able to see everything clearly."

"Got it. Let's go down."

"Yes."

Expected result.

If there was no magic to hinder the detection, Mitis would think that this was a trap set for her and her group. Moreover, the range of the usual detection magic "Eye of Detection" was extremely limited, and it would be affected by the terrain. Even if the other party did not set up magic to hinder the detection, no useful information could be obtained. She would applaud herself for being able to retrieve one-tenth of the entire underground facility.

Mitis couldn't help but start to miss Ella. Although she had never asked in depth, Ella must have a strong ability to detect. Thinking of how Ella suddenly reminded herself that there was someone behind her when she encountered Tavo's group of adventurers, Mitis couldn't help but start to doubt whether Ella's detection magic was always on. At that time, she didn't feel any fluctuations in magic power, but Ella could point it out accurately. In addition, she always showed foresight, so maybe she really had some special abilities.

Shaking her head to stop unnecessary recollections, Mitis looked up at the sky. The last echoes of dusk had been covered by the night, and starlight was shining through the thin clouds. It was time to act as agreed.

She waved.

"Let's get started."

Like cheetahs that had been lurking for a long time, the elite who had been hiding - about fifty people - rushed out from the bushes at the same time, led by Mitis who was flying in the air, and all of them surrounded the cave entrance at the speed of arrows.

It was impossible to sneak in quietly because of the open swamp with good visibility, so Mitis chose a massive frontal attack.

Almost in an instant, the guards arranged by the poachers at the entrance of the cave discovered Mitis and his group. The shrill sirens sounded, and at the same time, a layer of fine rope net suddenly flew up from the swamp. This was a magic prop woven with special fibers. Although it did not look very powerful, it would cut the flesh with just the slightest touch. It was a very useful trap when the opponent attacked forcefully.

"whispering sound."

Ignoring the sound of the wind passing by her ears, Mitis, who was rushing in front, took out a white parasol and swung it violently when she was about to rush into the rope net. In just a blink of an eye, the trap was easily broken, and the parasol was split into two parts without any delay, falling weakly into the swamp.

"Close the door! Let Master Seth come over!"

The poachers' panicked expressions could be seen - at a distance of less than twenty meters, it was not difficult to do this with the vampire's night vision ability - the sound of gears meshing came from the entrance of the cave, and then, an ancient stone door without any decoration slowly closed from both sides. Judging from the heavy sound and the ten-person-tall big and small Rimitis, once this door was closed, it would take at least several minutes to break through, which would be too late. Giving the other party time would not be a good thing.

However, Mitis wasn't the only one here. Other soldiers, who had been imbued with the "Floating Technique" by the magic caster, were following closely behind.

The sound of Nanako approaching quickly reached my ears.

"Mr. Mitis!"

"knew!"

The wings drew an arc in the air, and Mitis stepped aside. After about a second, a blue light like lightning flashed by.

boom--!

The deafening roar, as if to shatter the entire hill, pierced the eardrums. The earth began to shake, and the entire swamp surged like a boiling pot, with gravel and dust bursting out together, and screams rose one after another.

[Nanako, well done.]

I couldn't help but admire Nanako's destructive power in my heart. There was no doubt that the attack just now was a magic created by Nanako by infusing magic power into the weapon.

Since the person who activated the mechanism was killed by Nanako, the stone gate that was at least ten people high also stopped. According to the predetermined plan, Mitis will rush into the cave first to look for the poacher leader, and the rest of the people will be divided into groups to explore other possible routes. Once they encounter a strong enemy, they will immediately call for help from the surroundings.

Opening her parasol to block the gravel and sand, Mitis landed on the shore and tilted her head to look at the deep cave ahead.

"I hope this ends soon. My time is much more important than yours."

“Guuuuu!”

Without giving the man time to scream, Mitis pulled out the umbrella blade that had pierced his body. Looking at the umbrella body stained with blood, Mitis couldn't help but sigh to herself.

"It would be better if you surrendered earlier."

Perhaps it was because the noise at the door was too loud before, which caused everyone in the facility to notice that someone was intruding. Although they walked in openly, they only encountered five poachers. Thinking that the people here might have already started preparing countermeasures, Mitis couldn't help feeling a little impatient. She was very dissatisfied with the feeling that she was better than the other party but had to waste time.

In order to investigate the clues, Mitis kicked the fallen man with his foot, and used the umbrella to make him turn over, and looked at the other's chest - there was a strange brand on it. Mitis, who had seen it once, knew that this was a compulsory contract that was similar to a slave contract but not a slave contract. In other words, these people were adventurers like Tavo who came here to make money. They had very little real information and were just abandoned pawns.

"'Blood Control'."

Her pink eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Mitis curled her lips, stepped over the man and continued walking forward.

In the past, Mitis would never use such a troublesome method to deal with the enemy. Compared with using umbrella blade to make the opponent lose mobility, it is more direct to use "Blood Explosion" to make the opponent explode. The reason why she uses a slightly softer method to ensure the life of the poacher now is just because she doesn't want to make herself look too violent. Although Ella is not present, she can't help but have various worries. Mitis is a firm believer in the One God. It is normal for her to worry about cause and effect when she believes in the existence of gods.

It's not surprising that a girl in love does anything, and this is especially true for Mitis - even though she is completely unaware of it.

After walking in the cave that smelled of sweat and dampness for a while, Mitis came to a fork in the road. Since there were no special marks on both sides of the cave, Mitis was completely unable to identify which side was the important passage. She could only rely on her vampire sense of smell to judge from the smell.

The air on the left is cleaner than on the right. After thinking about it for a while, Mitis chose the passage on the left. If she was right, she should be in the middle of the cave now. Generally speaking, the leader would live in a room with a good environment. From this point of view, it was right to choose the left side - of course, wanting to take advantage of the fire was also a reason. If she could find something valuable in this operation, it would be more beneficial for subsequent actions.

He had already decided that he would leave the empire after completing the mission, so from then on he would be in the dilemma of losing his source of livelihood. Although the Viscount had a considerable amount of personal property, it would be better to save more. No one could guarantee that he would not encounter a time when he would need a large amount of gold coins.

The only sound in the quiet cave was the clattering footsteps of Mitis. Combined with the flickering torches around, an indescribable sense of tension permeated the surroundings. However, this was very comfortable for Mitis. Vampires were the spokespersons of the night, and deep caves made Mitis happier than walking in the midday sun.

You know, being able to walk in the sun doesn't mean you like the sun. Except for purebred vampires, ordinary vampires and vampire followers cannot survive in the sun at all. The current environment just happens to maximize Mitis's strength. The comfort even makes Mitis suspect that this is a battle field tailor-made for her.

Taking another step forward, Mitis stopped when she noticed that the echo in front was slightly different from usual.
