Lords go left, Emperors go right

Chapter 27: A First Look at the Underground Ruins of Liberty City (Part 1)

————This chapter (8K) (Transition chapter, you can choose to skip.)————

On the northern border of the Bloomfield region, in the most luxurious private villa in the city of Granford in the Kolensunil prairie area. Osta, who sneaked in here, successfully dealt with the owner. The action of the gentleman prince was relatively easy throughout the whole process. Before he arrived, the black businessman Mosa had been poisoned by his only son Morlet, and was almost dead. The filial son himself was a dandy boy, and he had no real self except eating, drinking and having fun. When Osta dealt with the rich second-generation young master, he hardly put in any effort. After killing Morlet, the gentleman prince took over a batch of special trophies in the residence. As for the black businessman Mosa, he could leave it alone and let it fend for itself.

After a fierce battle, the private mansion was in a dead silence. Except for the black businessman Mosa and his only son Mollet, the father and son, the guards they hired to guard the ancient house were also eliminated by the gentleman prince without a single one left. He directly silenced them, saving a lot of trouble. Those bodyguards were not from regular backgrounds. They were originally lawless criminals active in the Free City. Most of them were grassland bandits. Osta could not accept their surrender. After the battle, corpses could be seen everywhere in the villa. The bodies of the guards were intact, and no scars could be seen on the surface. If an autopsy was performed, it would be found that they were all drowned. The death was strange. Those on the mainland were drowned alive. With the help of a special contract and a deep bond, Osta could use most of the special abilities and corresponding divine powers of the water demon goddess Stella. Without the help of Chris and Yulia, he could easily deal with these guards who were born as desperate people.

What Osta was looking for was a special passage leading directly to the ancient ruins underground, a man-made tunnel, and the entrance was in the storage room of the ancient house, commonly known as the treasure house. However, Osta did not find the key to the vault. When Moret plotted against his old man and used special poisoning methods to take down the black businessman Mosa, he did not find the key to the vault from the old man. For the gentleman prince, these were not a problem. As long as he knew the place and could find the correct location, it would not matter whether he had a key or not. There were many ways to open the door without a key.

The treasure house of the black trader Mosa has no windows. The entrance door is made of heavy metal. The keyhole of this heavy iron door is of a special shape. It can only be opened with a specially prepared exclusive key. Other ordinary keys cannot open it, making it much more difficult to pick the lock. Conventional physical attacks and ordinary brute force cannot force the iron door open. After arriving at the scene, Osta carefully checked the situation of the vault. Although the walls of the treasure house are much thicker than ordinary walls, they are much worse than the iron door.

Osta directly broke through the wall and bypassed the iron gate. She used the water element to impact and opened a large hole in the wall, successfully entering the treasure house. As the hole appeared, a golden light appeared in front of the gentleman prince. He looked inside and saw that the vault, which was half the size of a standard football field, was filled with neatly stacked standard gold bars. The black merchant Mosa was still a bit of a pattern, and he specialized in exchanging wealth for city gold bricks for collection. This choice was more valuable. Gold bars are hard currency, and the weight is usually enough.

In the absence of paper money, for huge transactions, legitimate merchants will use magic savings cards to trade, while black merchants will use hard currencies such as gold bars or diamonds to complete transactions. The former are regular and legal merchants, while the latter are illegal traders, and many transactions cannot be brought to the table. Therefore, black merchants generally hold a certain amount of hard currency such as gold bars. According to Osta's preliminary visual observation and rough statistics, the illegal income of the black merchant Mosa, after conversion, is at least more than 200,000 gold coins. The other party has been silenced by the gentleman prince, and his entire family has been wiped out. This batch of illegal income, all illegal income, was confiscated by Osta legitimately, just as the government requisitioned, and handled in accordance with the relevant provisions of ownerless property.

"Lord Osta, the cave over there should be the passage you are looking for."

"Mosa left too much wealth to that prodigal son. What a waste. It would be better to let me keep it for him. Chris, have you arranged everything for those girls?"

"Lord Osta, the matter has been dealt with. I have notified Bessie Jasmine, and she has arranged for her female subordinates to come and pick up the person."

"That's good. Let's go down and check the situation. Yulia, could you help guard the entrance up there? When Chris and I go down, you stay here just in case."

"Lord Osta, it's okay. I'll help keep watch. You're too cautious. Even if there's any danger underground, it's no match for you."

"Yulia, it's hard to draw any conclusions before meeting the other party. I'll leave it to you."

"Lord Osta, I can lead the charge, you stay back."

"Chris, the principle of ladies first does not apply at this time. I am in the front, so there is no reason for ladies to be in front. By the way, Stella, there are no outsiders here, you can show yourself."

"Master, the atmosphere in the underground space is chaotic. I'm afraid there is more than one special existence."

After Osta found the tomb-robbing hole, he immediately entered one of them to investigate. He only brought Chris with him and asked Yulia to wait at the entrance of the passage, ready to respond at any time. The Gentleman Prince actually brought two people this time. His special contract partner, the water demon goddess Stella responded to Osta's call and appeared and joined the three-person team. This tomb-robbing hole has reached a certain scale. The professional skills of that batch of tomb robbers are still good. The tomb-robbing hole was built according to the standards of the mine tunnel in the mine. There are fixed wooden fences and lit torches at a certain distance. Many torches are still burning. It looks like they were newly replaced not long ago. It seems that before the black businessman Mosa, he regularly arranged people to take care of the tomb-robbing hole, not completely leaving it alone.

Osta felt like he was in a mine. After he walked about ten meters underground, the gentleman prince saw the real entrance, a simple stone door. The huge stone door had been opened, and through the crack in the door, he could peek into the situation inside. The underground ancient ruins covered a large area, even surpassing the city of Granford on the ground. The area of ​​the ancient city was at least twice as large as that of the Free City. The gentleman prince summoned several humanoid water element warriors and arranged these summons in front to lead the way. Osta followed behind. As long as the magic power of the humanoid water element warriors who were exploring the way was sufficient, they could be summoned infinitely. There was no upper limit on the number. They were beings that could be summoned infinitely. Even if they were killed, the summoner would not suffer any direct loss.

The underground ancient ruins here look like a ruin, with broken eaves and tiles everywhere, and it is hard to find traces of its former glory. The air is filled with a strange smell mixed with the smell of decay. There are obvious bloodstains on the ground. The tomb robbers who came here before, and the exorcists who came later, probably met with accidents and were killed by dangerous existences before they even had time to leave their bodies. They died without a complete body, and no body was left. It was a tragic death.

The two mysterious demons that Osta encountered before, the monsters that fought against the blood demon princess Alyvia and the night demon princess Irinasha, escaped from this ancient ruins and committed evil on the surface world. Their prototypes did not even look like a human being, and their tone was arrogant and arrogant. One of them was a dark stone statue floating in the air, shaped like a meditating Buddha stone statue, about five meters high. If outsiders observe carefully, they can see that the lotus used for meditation in this Buddha stone statue is a skull throne made entirely of bones. The Buddha statue itself has a hideous face, and it does not have the kindness of a normal Buddha statue at all. Behind the weird Buddha statue. There are six hands, each holding a bloody weapon, and it is obvious that it is not a good Buddha.

The other mysterious demon looked even more bizarre, with a body length of more than ten meters and a pale white body. Its upper body was humanoid, with a faceless head without facial features, and its lower body was a snake body. At the bottom was a giant snake head with a bloody mouth. It looked like a stitched monster. When Osta recalled it now, he still remembered it vividly and was deeply impressed. The battle at that time was won by the Gentleman Prince, but he did not really kill the opponent. What was killed was only the clone. Killing the substitute did not have much effect on the main body. Unless they could find a way to deal with the real body, otherwise, the opponent could not be completely eliminated. These special monsters can nest dolls infinitely, and one of them sent a clone to do evil, and the method was particularly disgusting.

It is hard to say whether there are buried treasures in the underground ancient ruins area. No conclusion can be drawn for the time being, but the danger does exist. This is a terrifying space full of dangers. The active monsters are definitely not just the three that Osta encountered before. There are also other monsters that the gentleman prince has not seen. They are wandering in the underground space and have not yet invaded the surface world. The source of the plague also came out of the underground ancient ruins. Judging from the scale, there are too many active monsters in this area. It is impossible to eradicate them all in a short time. It is not very realistic.

If Chris and the others were entrusted, these three beings with terrifying strength and outside the rules could indeed easily solve the problem and raze the underground ancient ruins area to the ground. Osta had not considered this step for the time being, which was really a bad idea. There might be relics of the previous generations of travelers from the prehistoric civilization period here, and it was not ruled out that the other party might have left important documents and materials. The relevant contents recorded in those materials would most likely mention the prehistoric war that took place that year. The intelligence information mastered by these predecessors of travelers had special significance and irreplaceable value for later travelers, and could not be destroyed directly. If key information was lost, it would be a loss.

Osta was more inclined to use special sealing methods to temporarily seal all the channels connecting this underground ancient ruins area with the surface world. First, ensure that the evil creatures cannot get out and continue to cause trouble on the ground. After that, there is plenty of time to slowly carry out the relevant purification work. When the gentleman prince was thinking about the follow-up treatment plan, a sound of fierce collision of cold weapons came from the front, interrupting Osta's thoughts. He looked up and saw a fierce battle breaking out not far ahead. The situation over there was stalemate, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

"Damn it, where do these monsters come from? They can never be killed."

"You humans are really useless. The glory of the past is gone. It only belongs to those foreigners. After so many years, your combat effectiveness has not improved at all, and it has even declined a lot."

"You undead can only move around in underground spaces. What's there to be proud of?"

"You are from the Church of Light... No, this outfit is too different from the Church."

"I am the ace of the Exorcist Guild, the Chief Exorcist. I am much more powerful than the high-ranking priests of the Church of Light. I specialize in punishing evil creatures like you."

"You little brat, you are so arrogant. You have such little strength, but you dare to show off to us with this level of divine power. In the heyday of the Church of Light, with your level, you couldn't even get the status of a formal nun in the church."

"Don't waste your time talking to these undead. We have important matters to deal with. Let's finish this quickly!"

"I also want to end the battle as soon as possible, but... they are attacking again."

Osta looked up and saw a large group of undead in front of him, besieging the intruders. The group of dead people might be the original inhabitants of this ancient city. The residents did not get a true rest after death, and they still wandered in the ancient city as undead. The first batch of tomb robbers who came in might have died under the siege of the undead. The people who are still resisting now are the exorcists who came in later. The black merchant Mosa has hired more than a dozen groups of exorcists to try to deal with the monsters in the underground ancient ruins. Strictly speaking, the undead are also evil things, and exorcists have a restraining advantage over them, and the professional bonus is obvious.

The situation is different now. In the actual combat stage, even if you have a profession that can restrain the opponent, that little advantage cannot withstand the opponent's large number of people. The advantage is reversed. There are dozens of exorcists, and the total number is less than a hundred. The total number of undead facing is over a thousand, and the gap is nearly a hundred times. This disadvantage cannot be reversed by simply relying on the strengths of professional restraint.

The terrain of the battlefield over there is still a relatively open square ruins. This terrain environment is obviously advantageous to the side with more people. They can fully spread the battle line and maximize the advantage of numbers. They can form an advantage of encirclement against the side with fewer people and occupy the geographical advantage. Dozens of fully armed exorcists were surrounded by thousands of undead at this time. They were trapped like trapped beasts and had no way to break out. The environment here in the underground ancient ruins is a bit special. It comes with a mysterious interference magic, which is specially designed for teleportation type magic. As long as it is within the covered area, teleportation type magic is invalid, and related functions, magic props with the same functional effects, teleportation scrolls, etc. are also invalid. This fundamentally cuts off the opponent's means of using teleportation magic to retreat and get out of the battle in time.

Of the exorcists surrounded, only two still had full combat power. According to Osta, it was acceptable, but the performance of the other exorcists was not good. Like ordinary adventurers, they were covered in wounds and were already half-crippled, just one step away from falling to the ground. The exorcist's front line did not completely collapse, thanks to these two strongest exorcists, who were the spiritual pillar and the last line of defense. If they fell, it would be all over.

According to the standards, personal strength, and relevant combat effectiveness, this group of exorcists are already elite members of the Exorcist Guild. The appearance fee starts at 10,000 gold coins. They are still strong, but they are in a tough battle because the opponents they encounter are too outrageous. Among the undead on the opposite side, there are high-level undead with a certain degree of wisdom, who are secretly commanding and manipulating. More than a dozen groups of exorcists did not notice at the beginning, and were surrounded and defeated one by one by the opponent. After being defeated several times, they reacted and thought of banding together. At this time, it was too late. Most of the main force was lost. The strength of the opponent was beyond expectations. It was no longer a thorny problem that the Exorcist Guild could solve alone. It was necessary to ask the Church of Light to arrange and send the Knights Templar to suppress it.

Osta watched from a distance. The undead on the opposite side did not notice the three intruders. The undead usually search for prey by smell. They are very familiar with the smell of living people. The Gentleman Prince is a demigod, not a pure human. The water demon goddess Stella and Chris, these two beauties are not human beings. They are relatively close to Osta, just suppressing the only smell of living people on the other party, and covering it up with the smell of aliens. The undead cannot smell the smell of living people, so naturally they did not notice Osta approaching.

"There's nothing I can do. The teleportation magic scroll can't be used. I really have to retire completely this time."

"Don't give up, we still have hope. As long as we hold on, reinforcements will surely come..."

"Reinforcements? How can there be any support? We are the strongest force that the guild can mobilize. People with the same strength are assigned to other places and have missions. They can't come for a while, so we can't reinforce them. Those with less strength than us will be useless even if they come."

"I should have known I wouldn't have accepted the order. I wouldn't accept this order for even 10,000 gold coins, let alone 100,000 gold coins."

"Don't lose heart, avenge your fallen companions and hold on until the last moment."

"It would be great if there was a way to replenish magic power here. The air is rich in magical elements, but there are too few light and holy attributes to replenish it."

"Now is not the time to complain. I told you before, save some magic..."

"I brought some magic potions, but after fighting for so long, I didn't know that the magic potions wouldn't be enough."

Osta also noticed the two exorcist leaders who led the team. Even though they were in a desperate situation, they did not forget to encourage each other and cheer up their companions. The captains of more than a dozen exorcist teams were basically killed in the battle, and the only two captains left were these two beauties. A swordsman and a priest were standing in front and behind, with the swordsman leading the charge and the priest attacking from a distance and providing status to their companions. In fact, if there were only two of them, they might have successfully broken through. The reason they were trapped was probably because they were dragged down by their teammates. If they wanted to protect their teammates, they could not go into battle lightly and evacuate calmly. Even when they were fighting, they had a certain psychological burden and could not let go of their hands and feet at all and did not use their full strength.

The beauty standing in the front is a beautiful and elegant blonde swordsman, wearing a set of standard swordsman professional equipment. She is tall and has a hot and plump figure. Her skin is as white as jade. Under the light, she exudes a faint luster. With her charming curves, she has a lot of charm. The swordsman is about 171cm tall, with smooth blonde hair and a standard long straight hairstyle. Her hair is naturally scattered backwards and reaches the slender waist behind her. On top of her hair, there is a dark blue metal headband decoration. Next to her right cheek in front, she has a small braid, and the top of the braid is fixed with a mini snow-white bow.

On the beautiful face of Sword Princess, there is a pair of beautiful sea-blue eyes, and the look in her eyes shows that she is obviously tired. The continuous fierce battles during this period, especially fighting in the front row, have put a lot of pressure on her and consumed a lot of energy. If there were no companions with professions similar to priests behind her, who kept adding status, she would have collapsed long ago, not dead in battle, but dead from exhaustion. The nerves were tense throughout the whole process, and the high-intensity battles under high pressure were a huge test for the participants' body and mind. The large consumption of both physical and mental strength required a supplementary means to maintain the most basic state.

This blonde swordswoman is equipped with a set of specially customized dark blue female swordsman professional clothing. The design style is light and flexible, which looks relatively thin and cool. For the gentleman prince, this equipment is very suitable for his appetite. The designer is obviously a knowledgeable person. The upper body protective gear adopts a one-piece armor design, and the lower body protective gear is a sky blue miniskirt. The hand guards on both sides and the wrist guards only cover the forearms. From the elbows up to the shoulders, there is a subtle state without protective gear. The overall feeling of the armor is more like a design based on the off-shoulder style evening dress. In addition to the circle on the snow-white neck, which looks like a tie and has a gold star-shaped gold accessory in the middle, the shoulders and upper body are directly exposed to the outside, and can be appreciated at will. The round shoulders on both sides, the delicate clavicle, and the halfway to the peak, the northern hemisphere and the middle ravine can all be clearly seen.

The golden-haired swordsman, the area directly in front of the peak is a heavyweight, the height of the two peaks is amazing, definitely more than the size of G, that size, not only the gully squeezed in the middle is obvious, but also under the action of gravity, it will sag under the action of gravity. The armor on the beauty's upper body, on both sides of the chest armor, there is a gold star-shaped gold ornament on the neck, and the button in the middle is also a smaller size of the same type of ornaments, that symbol may be related to her profession, the pair of slender white legs below, equipped with dark blue long metal combat boots, the length of the slender legs accounts for two-thirds, until the absolute area, the combat boots, equipped with pure black silk stockings of similar length, the material of the stockings is opaque, longer than the combat boots, you can see the over-the-knee socks.

As an important position in the front row, the blonde swordswoman is a temporary replacement. Her own professional positioning is to roam, the main output position of the force profession. Unfortunately, the companions who can serve as shields in the team have basically died in battle. There are no warriors who can hold shields, so she can only barely hold the front row position. The blonde swordswoman's weapon is only a dark blue sword in her right hand, with a gold and silver combination hilt. The scabbard is in the left hand. There is no shield or helmet, and the defense flaws are too obvious. The opponent can see through it at a glance, effortlessly, as long as the weak points are attacked, the defense can be easily broken. The snow-white gold-rimmed one-piece cloak behind her looks like a simple decoration, a symbol of status, a dress accessory when attending a celebration, and more for the etiquette needs of the ceremony. When it comes to the real actual combat stage, it has no defense.

"I'm running out of magic power. I'm afraid I can't withstand the next round of attacks."

"Don't give up. We still have hope. As long as we hold on, a miracle will happen. Isn't that what you said?"

"That's just a normal slogan, don't take it seriously. Besides, our supplies are exhausted."

"Well...you lead the others to break out, and I'll cover the rear. At least I can make sure there are still some people who can go back."

"No, there is a high-ranking commander hidden among the undead on the opposite side. The one who just spoke to us has not shown his face. If he is here, it will be difficult for us to act."

"It has come to this, is there any way..."

"Unless we kill the commander, there will be no end to the enemy. They know our human race's tactics too well. What was their identity in their previous life? I'm afraid it was not simple."

"We can only take a gamble. We still have a chance."

The beauty standing not far behind the blonde swordsman is an elegant and holy silver-haired priest, wearing a set of standard priest professional equipment. She is also tall, with a well-proportioned and plump figure, and charming fair skin. Under the light, there is also a special effect of emitting a faint luster, coupled with a charming curvy outline, which secretly adds a lot of temptation. The priest is estimated to be about 169CM tall, with silky silver-white hair, a standard long straight hairstyle, and her hair naturally draped back, reaching near the slender waist behind her. On the front forehead, there is an obvious bangs design, and the length of the hair just slightly covers the eyebrows on both sides and the position in the middle of the eyebrows.

On the delicate and watery face of the priest, there is a pair of orange eyes, and the eyes reveal that they are obviously tired and barely holding on. The continuous fierce battles during this period, although not fighting in the front line, are equally stressful for her, and her mental energy is also consumed a lot. She has no chance to meditate to replenish her physical strength. Before, she could continuously increase the status of her companions, all by taking drugs. Now, the reserves of magic potions she carries with her have reached the bottom, and the magic potions of her companions have all been used up, and they are about to run out. If the magic profession is seriously overdrawn and all the magic power is emptied, even if it is rescued later and can save its life, it will be almost like a vegetable. The brain is consumed and damaged, and it is directly paralyzed. To achieve this step, it needs to be determined and aware of death. The priest seems to have made that choice.

The silver-haired priest was equipped with a set of specially customized snow-white exorcist professional clothing. The design style was light and flexible, and the material used was ultra-thin, giving it a cool and simple feeling. For the gentleman prince, the equipment was very suitable for his taste. The designer was probably the same person who designed the equipment for the blonde sword girl. They were both knowledgeable colleagues. The upper body protective gear adopted a one-piece covering design, and the lower body protective gear was a snow-white long skirt. The overall style looked conservative. After all, it was a priest's profession, so it was reasonable to wrap the upper body tightly. However, the lower body was a bit wild. Although it was a long skirt design, the two sides were split. Through this opening, you can see the whole pair of snow-white and slender legs. Above the split, the farthest part was the navel, passing over the smooth lower abdomen. The long skirt in front was more like an extended version of the pocket cloth. If the wind blew, it would be completely exposed.

Osta even saw the lines on both sides. The beauty's lower body was either completely empty or covered with props similar to Band-Aids. She was quite bold. Half of the mysterious delta area below was exposed. The black forest area, which should have been dense, was now snow-white and clean. Whether it was artificially trimmed or naturally born, it can be confirmed that the girl had the attribute of a white tiger. With the identity of a priest, the contrast was great. After the comparison and combination, it brought a special beauty and temptation that broke taboos.

This silver-haired priest, the area in front of him to the peak is a heavyweight existence, the double peaks are amazingly high, and have reached a size of about G. That size, not only is the gully squeezed in the middle obvious, but also under the action of gravity, it will sag under the action of gravity. The equipment on the beauty's upper body is a tightly covered robe, with golden patterned ornaments on both cuffs and slender waist, and the pattern of the cross is engraved on it. She wears a snow-white dome hat on her head. The style design is similar to that of the bishop-level clergy of the Church of Light. The hat worn by the bishop adopts a blue and white color matching style, with dark blue spikes in front, and a miniature golden cross in the middle. Below is a golden star with a special logo of the Yangtze River Delta. This pattern is also related to her profession or the faction she belongs to.

The silver-haired priest's slender snow-white legs were equipped with pure white long cloth combat boots, which were two-thirds of the length of the slender legs, and reached the absolute domain, with a purple border at the joint. Whether there were silk stockings of similar length inside the combat boots, or whether there were stockings, it was not confirmed at the moment. She did not have a real cape behind her, but a long curtain hanging down from the crown, which was snow-white on the outside and pure purple on the inside, with a golden pointed cross pendant.

As an important position in the overall coordination, the position of the silver-haired priest is irreplaceable. In addition to treatment, her own professional positioning is responsible for long-range magic attacks, one of the main output positions of the magic profession. Unfortunately, the companions of other magic professions in the team were basically killed in the battle, and there was no magic profession that could be rotated. She could only rely on drugs to hold on until now. The only weapon of the silver-haired priest is a magic warrant with a dark purple theme and a golden cross shape in her right hand. She relies on the sacred staff to exert her power. Her left hand is holding up the peak, and there is no magic potion bottle that can be used.

Osta was 100% sure that the beautiful silver-haired priest was not a member of the Church of Light. Her attire was wrong. Most of the church's attire was all black, white or other colors. Only high-ranking officials above the bishop level were qualified to wear it. Ordinary church members could not wear it casually. Wearing it randomly would be an act of usurpation. Moreover, the symbol of the Church of Light was only a cross, without any other patterns. The other party should be an elite exorcist in the Exorcist Guild. In order to increase persuasiveness, exorcists like to use the settings of the Church of Light when choosing professional equipment. It was just to attract attention. The cross was not a unique symbol of the Church of Light. Most exorcists and other similar professions might use it.

"Lord Osta, if you want to help, it's better to wait. Exorcists are quite arrogant and I'm afraid they won't easily accept our help."

"Stella, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Lord Osta, in fact, I have already locked onto the commander of that group of undeads and am waiting for your decision."

Chapter 30: Uninvited Visitors to the Grand Casino on the Sea

————This chapter (10K)————

In the office of the lord's mansion in the port city of St. Louis, the capital of the Bloomfield Territory, Lord Osta frowned after listening to Miss Mirror's brief report. As the highest person in charge of the secret police force "San Diego Black Hawk" under the gentleman prince, Mirror's own ability is worthy of recognition, and the relevant intelligence information he has investigated is already very detailed.

One of Osta's subordinates, the beautiful clan leader "Mechanical Angel" Salia is currently responsible for monitoring the Corunsunil Prairie, secretly monitoring the actions of the Plague Source clone, observing the opponent's movement trajectory, and predicting its activity range and movement route. She is temporarily unable to support St. Louis City. Otherwise, with her high-tech means, it should not be difficult to discover the latest movements of the Valensol Liberator Organization.

Osta was a bit troubled by this terrorist organization in another world. Counter-terrorism was difficult, and he didn't know how many explosives the other party had. Although he could ask Chris and the others for help, Osta would try to solve the problem alone unless it was absolutely necessary, and he didn't want to owe them too many favors. After all, he didn't know the true thoughts of these three out-of-specification beings, so it was better to keep some things in reserve.

The Valensol Liberator Organization has been around for quite some time and has been active frequently. So far, they have successfully overthrown at least three national regimes. Calling them a rebel group is a rather modest term. They are simply professional rebel organizations. If they are allowed to continue to grow and develop, they will sooner or later become a major scourge. The Valensol Liberator Organization's current capabilities and target range are limited to small countries, so that there is a certain success rate. If it is a slightly larger country, their usual means of overthrowing the regime will basically not work. Principalities, kingdoms, and even the highest level of empires are not something that the organization is capable of.

In addition to the Valensol Liberator, there are many similar organizations. It is not clear who is the financial backer and the manipulator behind these rebel groups. Judging from the relevant intelligence information that Aosta has obtained, the other party is most likely an emerging business group from the northern continent of the human race. After all, it is a considerable expense to fund the rebels' weapons and equipment. Rebellion is inherently risky and the returns are completely uncontrollable. Except for the merchants of the emerging business groups who have spare money, the possibility of other forces on the human continent participating in the investment is very low. Of course, all this is still just speculation, and Aosta lacks decisive evidence.

When Osta was thinking about how to destroy the headquarters of this terrorist organization, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew in from outside. It flew in from the wide open window of the city lord's office. It seemed to recognize people and naturally stopped in front of Miss Mirror. There was a small note tied to the pigeon's claws. Mirror took the small note skillfully, opened it and checked it. This note was the latest intelligence. It was estimated that it was the first-hand information sent to Miss Mirror by the informant. The San Diego Black Hawk Force was secretly arranged with many peripheral members who were specially informants.

"Your Highness, I just received secret information that the Valensol Liberator Organization is planning a new attack and plans to sink the Evelyn cruise ship that will sail through our port and stay in the port for a while."

"Mirror, is the source of this information reliable? Those guys stopped blowing up the carriage and blew up the boat instead! They probably don't have much explosives left."

"Your Highness, the informant who provided this information is the highest level among my insiders, and the accuracy of the information is over 90%. I think this should not be a misjudgment or false alarm."

"Mirror, what is the origin of that ship? I have never heard of the Evelyn ship before."

"Your Highness, this is the list of the crew members on the Evelyn. They are not ordinary people. Please take a look..."

"These guys really know how to pick their targets. Jing, it looks like I have to step in to stop them. I can't let them succeed."

At first, Osta didn't care much about it. He thought that the Valensol Liberator Group, a terrorist organization, was angry after failing to kill a certain gentleman prince, and blew up a ship for fun. However, after looking at the crew list, Osta changed his mind. The Evelyn Cruise Ship, which belongs to the Southern Continent of the Human Race, is a luxury cruise ship that cruises around the world. The guests on board, this time, are mainly business celebrities from the Southern Continent of the Human Race. If the ship has an accident in the Port of St. Louis, it will have a bad impact on the reputation of the Bloomfield area and cause irreparable losses.

Aosta had no choice but to at least ensure that the Evelyn cruise ship was safe while it was moored at its own port, the St. Louis dock. If it left the Bloomfield area and was out of the territory, then if something unexpected happened, it would not be Aosta's business. Boarding the ship for inspection was unlikely, as the Evelyn cruise ship belonged to the Southern Continent of the Human Race and was not under Aosta's management. In addition, the Port of St. Louis was known as a free port, so there was no reason to board the ship for inspection.

Among the four continents of the human race, the southern continent is the most profitable market. All foreign trade activities of the eastern continent are completely controlled by the Church of Light. Outsiders cannot squeeze in at all, and it is impossible to participate. The northern continent claims to be free trade, but the market competition there is fierce, there are many merchants, and there are many people who are against the big pie. On average, they can't make much money. There is even less hope for the western continent. Under the social background of the feudal era, the high-level rulers of various countries have the policy influence of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and limiting the scale of commercial activities, either explicitly or implicitly. The rulers of various countries in the southern continent do not have so many concerns. The slave continent has huge market potential. After weighing the pros and cons, Osta does not want to easily throw away the potential future market.

Aosta, for now, can only board the ship to stop the actions of the Valensol Liberator Organization. According to the intelligence, the terrorist group has arranged undercover agents on the Evelyn in advance, and there are many insiders. They will send people to board the ship at that time, and with the help of insiders and outsiders, it will be easy to sink the luxury cruise ship. Aosta happened to have nothing else to do, so he could go to the luxury cruise ship for a stroll. Miss Mirror originally wanted to arrange for other people to go, but the gentleman prince rejected this plan after knowing it.

"Your Highness, I will arrange someone..."

"No need for that. Mirror, you lead the others and mainly monitor the situation on the shore. I will personally come forward, and I will board the ship with Chris and the others."

"Your Highness, on the Evelyn... the conditions on board may not be suitable for you."

"What environment? I see. It's okay, Mirror. I still have some ability in this area. I have that talent."

"Your Highness, the Evelyn ship is full of mixed people. The sea is not an area where we can provide timely support."

"Don't worry about that, Mirror. You only need to be responsible for blocking the members of the Sorenval Liberation Organization on land. I will personally deal with their undercover agents and accomplices."

"Your Highness, I understand. Everything will be carried out according to your arrangements."
