Lords go left, Emperors go right

"Well, that doesn't seem to be a problem. Please follow me, sir."

"Wait a minute...Girl, it's okay for you to be alone, right?"

"No problem, sir. Don't count on those people. They are all cowards hiding here. People with courage have basically gone to the Great Pyramid of Gold. Those who stay in the hotel are either speculators or cowards. They are all a bunch of cowards."

Loli was very disdainful of the other treasure hunters in the inn. Those treasure hunters did not dare to defend themselves. They were not as strong as the other party, their fighting ability was not good, and their skills were not as good as others. After being ruthlessly despised by Loli, they all looked embarrassed and left in disgrace. Loli was right. Treasure hunters who really had the courage to make a fortune would have died outside the Great Golden Pyramid by now. Treasure hunters who were still staying in the nearby inn were basically cowardly speculators. They stayed here to see if they could find some treasures at a low price from the survivors.

The loli brought Osta and the others to a relatively remote location in the hotel. After they sat down, they ordered some snacks. Of course, Osta paid the bill. This gentleman prince quickly obtained the information he wanted. The loli's real name was Betty Yafu. She came from the northern continent of the human race. She was a famous treasure hunter in the treasure hunter circle, codenamed "Snow Cat". Unlike other treasure hunters, Betty Yafu was one of the few treasure hunters present in the hotel who held a legal hunter license. Most treasure hunters here were illegal, but Betty Yafu was a special case. She was registered with the Hunter Guild and was a regular treasure hunter.

Tomb robbing is strictly prohibited by the Treasure Hunter Guild. It violates the relevant rules of the Guild, especially the tomb robbing of the imperial tomb. Betiyafu took the risk of being expelled from the Treasure Hunter Guild and went to the Golden Pyramid to take a chance. In the final analysis, it was all for money. There was no other way. The regular way of making money was too slow. If you want to accumulate wealth quickly, you can only go through illegal ways. There are huge profits there, and the profits and benefits obtained are at least several times the former. Betiyafu was cheated by her own family. Loli's parents were impoverished nobles who loved gambling. In order to maintain a decent aristocratic life and keep their aristocratic image in front of outsiders, they did not hesitate to borrow money and owed a large amount of foreign debts, a large part of which was usury. Betiyafu had no choice but to take the risk and come here to gamble.

After Osta learned the reason for the incident, he had some respect for Betty Yafu. This little girl still sticks to principles. With her conditions, she could have not taken this risk and could have sold other things. The most brilliant achievement in Betty Yafu's treasure hunter career so far was to secretly sneak into a dragon's lair and steal a lot of the dragon's collection. Although it was later investigated that the dragon was only a sub-dragon species, a mixed-blood dragon monster, and could not be considered a pure-blooded dragon, the Treasure Hunter Guild kept this secret to the outside world in order to establish its image, and still insisted that the place where Betty Yafu sneaked into was a real dragon's lair full of dangers.

Before Osta and the others arrived, Betiyaf had been to the outskirts of the Great Golden Pyramid several times. With her survival instinct, she escaped every time she encountered danger with the help of her intuition. Although she was able to escape, she couldn't move forward. After many failures, Betiyaf realized that she couldn't do it alone and needed the support of her companions. Betiyaf didn't trust the other treasure hunters in the inn, those illegal treasure hunters. The reason for teaming up with Osta was mainly because most of this gentleman's teammates were girls, so they should be more reliable than other male treasure hunters. Betiyaf herself also had a gambling element in it.

The area near the Great Golden Pyramid was full of dangers, and most tomb robbers died outside before entering the imperial mausoleum. According to the memory of the pure white fox Melissa, if there were no descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetim Empire in the team, it would basically be a failure. Bloodline is the first key to entering the imperial mausoleum. In order to prevent exceptional circumstances, such as the terrifying strength of the intruder, the intruder can easily break through the various defense mechanisms of the imperial mausoleum without relying on the bloodline of the royal descendants, as if entering an empty space. At that time, a self-destructing magic barrier was specially set up in the imperial mausoleum. Even if the other party successfully broke in, the imperial mausoleum would self-destruct to prevent the buried treasures and the royal family's burial objects from falling into the hands of outsiders.

"Betty Yafu, I'll leave the guide work to you this time. You just need to take us to the bottom of the Great Golden Pyramid. Then you will complete the commission. We will arrange the rest on our own. By the way, your compensation will not be reduced."

"Mr. Oger (pseudonym), I accept this commission. Have you thought it through? No one knows what is inside the Great Pyramid of Gold. No one has successfully entered it, and we are all unaware. The rumor that there is a treasure inside may not be reliable. The gold bricks outside are more valuable."

"Bediafu, what's inside the Great Pyramid of Gold? When we get in, the mystery will be revealed. I came here to explore for the thrill, nothing else matters."

"Well, Mr. Ogg, I don't really understand the thinking of you rich people. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to set out. It's too risky to act at night."

"No problem, Betty Yafu, we can just stay in this small hotel tonight."

"Good night, Mr. Ogg, see you in the morning!"

After Osta and Bediaf reached an agreement, it was already late outside. At night, the risk of action increased. The gentleman prince could only accept Bediaf's suggestion and rent a room in the inn for the night and wait until the next day to take action. The room in the inn was simple and the conditions were not good in all aspects. The conditions of other inns nearby were basically the same. Osta was too lazy to compare them one by one, so he just stayed there.

Osta rented the largest room in the hotel to house the team members. This time, except for the team leader, Osta, who is a gentleman, the rest of the team members are ladies, descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetim Empire and former princesses of the empire: the flower speaker Mesno, the gravedigger Metaman and the blessing master Mevlei, as well as their guardian, the pure white fox Melissa who is good at feng shui, plus the three special people Chris, Yulia and Sophia who followed Osta, there are a total of eight professional team members, and if the guide Bediafu is also counted, it will be a team of nine. Team configuration

The room chosen by Osta was next to Betty Ave, so it was convenient for her to take care of him. Betty Ave had booked a small room by herself. She was not as wealthy as Osta and had not booked the largest room. The beauties who followed the gentleman prince, Mesno and the others, quickly went to bed to rest, to recharge their energy for tomorrow's action and adjust to the best condition. Chris and the others were special beings who did not need to rest. The three beautiful ladies simply found a place nearby to meditate, closed their eyes and rested, looking like the magic profession sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Osta sat on the chair, leaning back against it, ready to take a nap. To be honest, it would be strange if he could fall asleep. It was hard for a gentleman prince not to have wild thoughts when sharing a room with several beauties. It was easy for him to lose control. The air in the room was a mixture of fragrances, and there was a lot of ambiguity in the atmosphere that could not be ignored. Chris and the others were fine. Osta did not dare to have any bold ideas about the three stunning beauties for the time being. The beauties of Mesno were descendants of the royal family of the Meskhetim Empire, but it was hard to say about the princesses of the previous dynasty.

Just as Osta was considering whether to count sheep to help him fall asleep, Chris and the others woke up from their meditation at the same time. The three stunning beauties all looked toward the door, with subtle expressions on their perfect faces, as if they had noticed something unusual. Before the gentleman prince could ask why, he saw black smoke coming in from the crack under the door, and soon, there were bursts of panic-filled noises coming from outside.

"It's on fire, hurry...run!"

"It's not a fire, it's an enemy..."

"Damn it, who are these people... Brothers, let's fight them."

"My...my hand...spare..."

"Betty Yafu, you're here. I was just about to look for you. What happened outside?"

"Mr. Oger, there is a group of unidentified people outside killing people everywhere. We must move. It will be too late if we are late."

Betty Yafu pushed open the door of the room, looking embarrassed. Her clothes were a little messy, obviously changed in a hurry. It turned out that just in the evening, the small hotel was attacked by a group of unidentified people. All the attackers were equipped with a set of black night clothes. The number of people was estimated to be more than a hundred. They came prepared. The other party prepared various equipment in advance and scouted the place in advance. The treasure hunters in the hotel did not sit and wait for death. They all picked up weapons and fought to survive.

The treasure hunters were still very strong, but the opponent was obviously better. After a brief encounter, the treasure hunters were defeated and fell to the ground in a few seconds. They didn't even have the ability to fight back. The attackers were just wearing the black nightgown equipment common to assassins. The treasure hunters were misled. At first, they thought the attackers were assassins and could only attack from behind. Who would have thought that after the fight, the treasure beauties suddenly realized that the attackers were not assassins at all and could resist head-on. Many treasure hunters were killed on the spot due to carelessness. They died one by one, and the death was tragic. Most of them were killed in one blow, without a second trick. The attackers were professional, without any hesitation before killing. The whole action was smooth and skillful, and it felt like a professional killer.

Betiaf made a prompt decision. Seeing that the enemy had more people and more power, she knew that she could not fight hard, so she chose to retreat immediately and shift her strategy to avoid the enemy's attack. Osta accepted Betiaf's suggestion and did not run far. After waking up the princesses such as Mesno, everyone retreated from the window and jumped out of the window to escape. Betiaf brought a rope with her, and with the help of the rope, everyone successfully evacuated the hotel.

Osta looked back and saw that the inn had been set on fire by the attackers. The flames that shot up into the sky were particularly bright in the dark night. The professional method of setting fire to the scene after the fact was beyond most assassins. There were many attackers, and there were several circles of people around the inn. The other party set up a siege and looked like they were going to kill them all, as if they had a blood feud.

The members of Osta's team used the special stealth spell "Time Traveler" and all of them entered a hidden state. Naturally, the attackers did not notice that someone had slipped away right under their noses. Osta did not walk far, but stopped at a place not too far away and secretly observed the attackers. He had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with these attackers, and he might have seen them before.

Betty Yafu was stunned at this time. She thought her employer, Oger, was just a rich young man who was out for adventure and excitement. Now it seems that Oger still has a lot of things. She had never heard of this special stealth magic of group concealment before.

After Osta and the others hid, the attackers had already cleared out the people in the nearby inns, whether they were treasure house hunters or not, all of them were killed by the attackers, leaving no one alive. Except for Osta's team who survived, everyone else was killed. After the battle, the attackers set fire to all the inns and destroyed the bodies. Osta was not too far away from them, and the gentleman prince could vaguely hear the conversation between the attackers.

"Have all the people been cleared?"

"Captain, we've killed them all, but the body count seems to be wrong. We found the accommodation registration, and there are nine people on the guest list whose bodies were not found."

"Captain, no suspicious individuals were found in this encirclement. I guarantee that no one slipped through the net."

"Forget it. This is an informal hotel, and the registration list is unreliable. We will leave after the fire is set. The mission assigned by His Highness is more important."

"Captain, if those treasure hunters don't leave one or two alive, will it affect our next actions?"

"The collaborators have already been found, so forget about these extra people. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

After Osta heard the attackers' voices clearly, he was stunned on the spot. The tone of voice was the standard official language of the Obelisk Empire, or the internal language of the army. Outsiders didn't know, but as a member of the imperial family, Osta could understand it to some extent. The real identities of these attackers were Obelisk Empire soldiers, affiliated with the Imperial Military Department, and possibly members of the elite troops. Those treasure hunters did not lose unfairly, and it was understandable that they died at the hands of the Obelisk Empire's elite troops. The gap in combat power between the two sides was too big.

The attackers did not reveal which faction of the empire they belonged to, and it was not immediately clear which imperial prince they were referring to. Aosta quickly identified the suspect through deliberation and elimination. Among the royal brothers of this gentleman prince, only two princes could mobilize the elite troops of the Obelisk Imperial Army. Except for Emperor Augustus VIII, it was not easy for others to mobilize the elite troops of the empire. They needed to apply for permission, and it was unclear whether they could get permission.

At present, there are only two princes who can mobilize the elite troops of the Obelisk Empire Army and skip the application process. They are the eldest prince Osed and the second prince Oster. The former is the heir to the throne. As the crown prince, he enjoys some privileges similar to the emperor of the empire. The latter is in charge of the imperial military all year round and represents the interests of the military. It is also easy for him to mobilize elite troops. At this time, Osta has not been able to determine whether the attacker was sent by his eldest brother Osed or arranged by his second brother Oster. What the gentleman prince can be sure of is that the other party's appearance here is most likely related to the dragon vein rumor. Some of the other princes know about the dragon vein. The credibility of this rumor cannot be guaranteed. Those princes may not believe it, but they cannot completely deny it. If the dragon vein's function of changing fate is true, if you don't pay attention to it, you will miss a great opportunity.

The Dragon Vein Land Grandes Mountain is located in the Blomfield area of ​​Aosta's territory. Even if the other imperial princes and Aosta's brothers knew about it, they dared not openly ask the gentleman prince himself. They could only conduct a secret investigation. These treasure hunters were unlucky and had very bad luck. They happened to be so close to the scene of the incident. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the elite troops of the imperial army directly killed these witnesses to prevent any news from being spread.

After the attackers cleaned up the scene, they repeatedly checked several times and left only after seeing no survivors. They acted cautiously. Some of the elite troops of the Obelisk Empire Army are specialized in carrying out this kind of special operations and can be regarded as special forces. After the attackers left, the tense expression on Betiyafu's face eased a little. If she hadn't met a gentleman prince and his entourage tonight, this loli would probably have died long ago. Even if Betiyafu's combat power was extraordinary, her strength alone was limited. Two hands could not beat four fists. Facing the siege of so many elite troops of the Obelisk Empire at the same time, it would be difficult for her to hold on for too long and could not escape the fate of being killed.

Aosta looked at the direction where the attacker left, his eyes turned, and suddenly he thought of something and decided to follow him to see what was going on. The other party's target was also the Grandes Mountains, a blessed land of dragon veins. If they wanted to investigate the rumors of dragon veins there, the Great Golden Pyramid would be more obvious and would naturally become the first choice. The two sides happened to be on the same road, so as long as they were not discovered, it would be fine. If someone cleared the way ahead, Aosta could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, and the gentleman prince would not even have to go through the trouble of exploring the way.

Even if they were discovered by the other party, with Osta's identity, these elite troops of the Obelisk Empire Army would not dare to attack the third prince. At most, they would pretend not to know him and run away. If they were recognized, the prince who was behind the scenes would most likely not admit it. If someone was sent to invade the territory of other princes, this matter would be no less than a public quarrel, and the relationship would be strained.

"Mr. Ogg, are you planning to..."

"Of course we're following them, Betty Ave. All the hotels around here are destroyed. We have nowhere to go tonight. We have to set off early, unless you want to sleep outdoors."

"Mr. Oger, those people's skills and behavior style, I'm afraid they are soldiers from a certain empire. If we follow them, it may cause unnecessary trouble. Then..."

"Betty Yafu, are you scared? If you quit now, I will still pay you."

"Mr. Oger, you are questioning my professional integrity! You are my employer, and I will not leave until I complete the commissioned task."

"That's good, Betty Yafu. I will pay you extra for these extra tasks."

Osta's bold move made Bediaf, the guide, a little uncomfortable and almost backed out. The gentleman prince deliberately added contempt to his tone and used provocation to successfully fool the cute loli and let her continue to lead the way. In the previous conversation, Osta had already decided on this girl and would not let her go easily.

Betty Yafu's true age is indeed over the adult line, but she looks petite and tender, and can be considered a legal loli. When the two sides were talking, a certain gentleman prince, relying on his rich practice in some aspects, was amazed and smelled the fragrance that only virgins have. The little girl opposite has not been picked by anyone. Since they met, it is fate. Osta secretly calculated and waited for the right opportunity to see if he could fully recruit Betty Yafu.

Chapter 75: The Identity of the Imperial Task Force Revealed (Part 2)

————This chapter (8K)————

The area near the eastern border of the Bloomfield region, adjacent to the Principality of Dennis, is the border between the two major forces. When Osta led a special team here to prepare for a secret archaeological work, he made an unexpected discovery before the operation began. The gentleman prince accidentally encountered a group of mysterious attackers who happened to be going to the same place, and their destinations were exactly the same.

After clearing out all the hotels outside the Dragon Vein Land Grandes Mountain and clearing out possible witnesses, the attackers chose to set fire without hesitation to destroy the bodies and leave no traces at the scene. The treasure hunters who were just killed by the other party were basically illegal treasure hunters. Most of them had not registered their identities or occupations with the Treasure Hunter Guild. Without the identity of a legal treasure hunter, even if they were missing, they would not arouse suspicion from outsiders and would rarely attract attention from the outside world, so it was relatively easy to deal with.

Osta successfully dodged the enemy's surprise attack and avoided unnecessary fighting. The identity of the attacker should be the elite troops of the Obelisk Empire Army. This gentleman prince did not want to fight with his own people unless it was absolutely necessary, and he would avoid it as much as possible. Osta led the team members, followed behind the attacker, kept a certain distance, and moved towards the direction of the Great Golden Pyramid. As the most ostentatious of the overseas imperial tombs of the Meskhetim Empire, the appearance of the Great Golden Pyramid was too eye-catching, and naturally became the first choice. The elite troops of the Obelisk Empire Army are divided into many branches. These special forces are generally sensitive. Due to the need to perform special tasks, the specific troop organization is highly confidential.

Only Emperor Augustus VIII knew these secrets. Most of the other members of the royal family, the princes and the nobles, had only a vague understanding of the number of elite troops in their country. Knowing the numbers of two or three troops was considered good. Even the successor to the throne, the eldest prince Osd, and the representative of the imperial military, the second prince Oster, Osd's two brothers, might not know the organization of all the elite troops in the Obelisk Imperial Army. Osd's mother, Empress Margaret III, might know the relevant information. The queen had her own exclusive intelligence network and knew at least 60% of the organization of the elite troops under her husband. Some of the elite troops were loyal to Emperor Augustus VIII on the surface, but secretly loyal to Empress Margaret III. The queen asked these troops to support her husband. This loyalty was only temporary and depended on the queen to maintain.

The Osta team has a new member, the combat magician Betty Yafu. This cute little girl has the identity of a legal treasure hunter. She has been formally registered and registered with the treasure hunter union and has authenticated her identity. She has been to the vicinity of the Great Golden Pyramid several times, and each time she almost found the entrance to the pyramid. It was only because of the danger that she encountered that she escaped by luck with her survival instinct and personal intuition. After realizing that her ability alone is limited, Betty Yafu thought of forming a team. This little girl's previous treasure hunting activities were all done alone. This cooperation is the first time in her treasure hunting career.

There are many traps around the Great Golden Pyramid. Even before you get close to the Imperial Mausoleum, you will find dangers everywhere. Around the Great Golden Pyramid, there is a huge circular maze with a diameter of more than one thousand meters. The maze is centered on the Great Golden Pyramid and expands to the surrounding areas. The height of the maze walls is more than ten meters. There are several entrances to the maze, but there is only one real exit. The others are dead ends. Many treasure hunters stop in the maze and stay in it forever. They cannot find the exit and are trapped to death, or they are trapped by the maze mechanism or killed by the hidden monsters. It is still uncertain. There may be several reasons. Anyway, the survivors who come out alive, even if they escape by chance, are mostly crazy and have no memory of what happened in the maze before.

Theoretically, this huge circular maze can be passed by air, but it is impossible to find the correct entrance to the imperial mausoleum. The ten-meter-high maze wall is equipped with a special blinding spell. People who use flying magic in the air cannot confirm the maze passage below by looking down with the naked eye. Many treasure hunters have tried to airdrop on the Great Golden Pyramid, but in the end they could not find the entrance and had to return empty-handed. After countless treasure hunters' proof, the only correct route to enter the Great Golden Pyramid is to enter from the entrance of the Great Golden Pyramid from the exit of the maze. If you airdrop, you may also be able to activate the Great Golden Pyramid's own defense mechanism. Many treasure hunters died on the return air route.

"Mr. Ogg, the super maze is ahead. I have entered the entrance several times before, but later I realized the danger and had to quit halfway."

"Betty Yafu, your method doesn't work. You'll have to rely on me later."

"Mr. Ogg, do you have any good ideas?"

"Betty Yafu, let's wait here for a while. Once my equipment arrives, we can start the operation."

"Okay, Mr. Oger, we have to be careful. This place is too close to the temporary camp of those soldiers. It's best not to let them find us. Otherwise, we will be in trouble."

"Betty Yafu, even if I'm discovered, I'll have a plan. Don't worry."

"Mr. Ogg, if you are so well prepared in advance, it doesn't seem to matter whether I am your guide or not! I still retreat..."

"Betty Yafu, this won't do. I've already hired you. You're mine until the contract ends."

"Mr. Oger, what you said is correct, but this statement is a bit misleading. Please change the wording!"

Osta's special team came to the outskirts of the Great Golden Pyramid and arrived near the super maze. The attackers had already built a large temporary camp here. The temporary camp was a standard imperial military camp. Except for the fact that there were no flags indicating the origin of the troops and the forces they belonged to, the other building layouts were almost the same as regular military camps. The camp was square in layout and had simple watchtowers. There were sentries and patrols around the camp, and guards were set up at various important checkpoints. There were many secret sentries hidden, and the alert level was even stricter than the Black Palace, the lord's mansion in the eastern city of Danpela, the capital of the Principality of Dennis, the neighbor that Osta had secretly infiltrated before.

Osta chose a place some distance away from the enemy's temporary camp as the foothold for his team. The elite troops returned to their temporary camp and showed no signs of going out. It seemed that they did not plan to launch an operation against the Great Golden Pyramid at night, but waited until daytime. As for Osta, they had to wait for the equipment. According to the original plan, after the gentleman prince determined the location, one of his important female subordinates, the mechanical angel Salia, would arrange a special air transport. The beautiful patriarch would send a batch of high-tech exploration equipment over. They were the same batch of mechanical equipment that had been used to explore the super-polluted area at the Three Dragons' maritime headquarters, the nameless island in the Elytes Sea, and the experimental area of ​​the Sarrod Group, one of the three major forces of the Three Dragons.

Betiyafu was a little confused about Osta's decision, but this silver-haired, blue-eyed lolita did not raise any objections in the end and accepted Osta's arrangement. The team members quickly set up a simple tent at the landing point. After running around all night, many team members were a little tired and needed a good rest. The flower speaker Mesno, the gravedigger Metaman, the blessing master Mei Fulei, the pure white fox Melissa and the combat magician "Snow Cat" Betiyafu, these beautiful team members took the time to close their eyes and rest, and restored their mental strength through meditation, which is a basic skill required by the magic profession. Chris, Yulia and Sophia, these three special beings do not need to rest, and their own energy is close to unlimited. Many times, several stunning beauties would close their eyes and rest, just because they thought it was fun and wanted to imitate the human race a little bit to experience what it felt like. In fact, they did not need to sleep.

Osta asked Sophia to stay and guard the temporary camp, provide protection for Bediaf and the others, and act as a guardian. The Gentleman Prince took Chris and Yulia and took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the attacker's temporary camp. Osta wanted to find out the origin of the elite troops of the Obelisk Empire Army and learn more about this special forces. His main purpose was to confirm which royal brother sent the elite troops. The princes with the greatest suspicion at present were the eldest prince Osed and the second prince Oster. Osta suspected his eldest and second brothers. These two brothers had heard rumors that the Grandes Mountains were a blessed land of dragon veins and the various metaphysical effects of dragon veins. They sent troops here secretly to investigate with half-belief.

Osta needs to find a way to get rid of this elite empire force and send them away without leaving any trace. Even if the dragon vein thing is fake, the overseas imperial tombs of the Meskhetim Empire, as well as the huge treasures buried there, are real and priceless burial objects. If this matter is known by other princes, it is hard to guarantee that some of them will be jealous, such as the fifth prince Osla, a miser who values ​​money like his life. At that time, it may bring many unexpected disputes to Osta's territory, the Bloomfield area. Therefore, even if it is an elite special operations force sent by the eldest and second brothers, the gentleman prince will not turn a blind eye and find a way to deal with it.

This elite force of the Obelisk Empire Army built a temporary military camp with a high level of defense and alert. According to Osta's visual observation, the total number of the enemy's troops was estimated to be more than a thousand imperial soldiers stationed there, all elite soldiers, with combat effectiveness far exceeding that of the regular army. Their individual combat capabilities can easily defeat three on the front battlefield. In the case of sneak attacks, some special operations, and surprise attacks from behind, a single soldier can easily defeat ten. However, for a certain gentleman prince, there is still no way to see through his secret infiltration. Osta is now using the external cheating fingers left by other traversers in the prehistoric civilization period. With the blessing of the special stealth secret method of "time traveler", it is easy to pass through the defense of the temporary military camp and go deep into the camp. Around the bonfire lit in the military camp, there are many soldiers who are sorting out their equipment. When they are maintaining their personal weapons and protective gear, the conversations and chats of the soldiers provide Osta with a lot of valuable information.

"Captain, what are you hesitating about? We should act as soon as possible. This is the territory of His Highness Aosta, the border of the Bloomfield region. If His Highness Aosta finds out, he will openly break up with His Highness Aosta for our sake."

"Your Highness is unlikely to come out in person to rescue the people, nor is he likely to send anyone to negotiate. If that happens, we might end up taking the blame on both sides."

"Brother, the commander is responsible for everyone's lives. Our casualties are much lower than those of other brother troops."

"Brother, you should feel lucky. I have a friend who used to be in our regiment. He served in the army for several years without any problems. When he was about to retire, he applied for a temporary transfer to another brother unit for higher pay. However, he died just after completing his first mission."

"It's no use waiting like this. If we don't produce any results, His Highness won't be able to wait any longer, and the captain won't be able to explain."

"Alas, Your Highness has too many requests. With so many Your Highnesses, I think it is unnecessary for the Captain to be so obsessed with just one. It is not impossible to change a Your Highness' loyalty."

"I think so too. My cousin is in a brother unit that is loyal to more than one prince. He is loyal to one prince in public and another in secret. The captain should learn to be flexible."

"Brothers, let's not talk about this topic. We don't understand political matters, but the leader at least knows more than us. It's important to stand on the wrong side. If you stand on the wrong side, the consequences will be disastrous."

"It is said that when His Majesty ascended the throne, the imperial military was reshuffled several times. Many legions that stood on the wrong side eventually had their unit numbers disbanded."

"The leader is here, be quiet, she can't hear these words."

As Osta passed by them, he could hear the soldiers' whispers clearly, all of which were concerns about the future of individuals and the legion. With the internal struggle for the imperial city in the Obelisk Empire, the battle for the next generation of succession to the throne has become increasingly fierce, affecting the imperial army. The imperial army also needs to face the choice of standing in a team. In the previous changes of the throne, the successor crown prince basically mastered the military power. This generation is more difficult to guess. As the crown prince, the eldest prince Osed did not fully obtain the full support of the imperial military. A large part of the military power is in the hands of the second prince Oster, which makes the choice of standing in a team much more difficult. If you don't really have full control of the military power, you won't know who will win until the last moment. If you stand on the wrong side, the next generation of emperors will ascend the throne and the unit number will inevitably be disbanded.

The soldiers' concerns were temporarily relieved with the arrival of the legion commander. Osta looked in the direction where the legion commander was coming. The gentleman prince was surprised to find that the legion commander was not in disguise. Unlike other soldiers, she did not change into a set of assassin's professional equipment, black night clothes, but came out in formal clothes to facilitate identification by subordinates. It may also be that she herself disdained to disguise and did not want to hide her true identity. After the legion commander appeared, the soldiers were quiet, and the previous discussion stopped completely. Some words, sensitive topics, could not be said in front of the legion commander.

The legion commander was equipped with a blood-red military uniform. This gorgeous uniform was particularly eye-catching under the light of the temporary camp camp bonfire. Osta's eyes lit up. This gentleman prince found something that interested him. The legion commander was a beautiful woman with a royal aura. She was no more than 180 years old. This royal legion commander was tall and her height was estimated to be about CM. She was much taller than a certain gentleman prince. If the two looked at each other, Osta would have to look up. The other party was about the same height as the new sister Osta had recognized before, the current lord of the Principality of Dennis, the sister of Count Denfort, Danesha.

The beautiful legion leader has smooth silver-white beautiful hair, which is tied up on both sides. It is a hairstyle with two buns, and a small braid is left on each side. The length of the braids barely reaches the shoulders on both sides, slightly exceeding the shoulders, which can be regarded as a small double ponytail. The beautiful legion leader has fair skin and delicate facial features on her beautiful face. It seems that there are no obvious flaws, just like a work of art that has been skillfully captured by the sky. Her beautiful purple eyes are as smart as amethyst. The blood-red military uniform equipped by the beautiful legion leader, the decorative parts on the uniform are basically golden, made of pure gold, showing her noble status. She has a blood-red cape behind her, a blood-red long skirt design on her lower body, a pair of blood-red high heels and a pair of blood-red super-long hand guards. On the left glove, she holds a huge sword with a blood-red glow. This blood-red giant sword has killed countless enemies. The blood-red color on it seems to be dyed red by the blood of countless enemies and cannot be easily faded. Of course, to some extent, it can be regarded as proof of merit and the most intuitive display of military exploits.

The weapon used by the beautiful legion leader looks like a two-handed sword, or a giant sword. She can use the two-handed sword with one hand, which looks very easy, which is enough to prove the strength of the legion leader. However, a certain gentleman prince has become accustomed to it, and his focus is on other places, such as her figure. The blood-red military uniform of the beautiful legion leader is conservative in style, and even the neck part is a high-necked design. Except for her face, there is almost no extra skin color. However, her figure is too hot, with golden ratios, supermodel figure, and seductive curves, which are vaguely visible under the outline of the blood-red military uniform, especially the highest peak area in front of the upper body. The bulge, the altitude size is about F level, and the snow peaks of this size cannot be ignored.

Perhaps sensing the overly attentive gaze of the gentleman prince, the beautiful legion leader slightly turned her head and looked in the direction of Osta with a somewhat suspicious look. After Osta saw the profile of the beautiful legion leader, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered who this beautiful legion leader was. He had seen her once before and was deeply impressed. The gentleman prince's memory of beauty was not easy to forget. In front of the beautiful legion leader's head, in the middle of her forehead, she wore an oval golden headdress, with a ruby ​​in the middle of the headdress, and a teardrop-shaped blood-red ruby ​​inlaid. There were purple discs on the bun hairstyle on both sides, and a pair of golden horns were installed. The horns were bent upwards, like the legendary demon horns, similar to the horns of a female demon.

"Have all the witnesses of the previous operation been cleared?"

"Captain, we have checked the scene and there are no survivors."

"That's good. We can't let His Highness Aosta find out. Otherwise, we will have to bear all the responsibility and His Highness won't come forward to help explain."

"Captain, if our operation is exposed, we may be in a passive situation."

"Try to be as careful as possible and do the best you can."

In the Obelisk Empire Army, this unique symbol is the symbol of "Red Devil" Latia. Red Devil Latia is a famous female general in the Empire. After Osta's father, Emperor Augustus VIII ascended the throne, he reshuffled the various corps of the Imperial Army and abolished the unit numbers that stood on the wrong side. The military career of Latia's family also began. Without this reshuffle, her family originally had no connections and no background in the Empire, and their careers stopped at the level of squad leader. After Emperor Augustus VIII of the Empire came to power, in order to eliminate the influence of the old officers of the previous generation, he promoted a large number of soldiers without background to take office. Latia's family took advantage of this favorable opportunity to take office.

Osta clearly remembered that the blood demon Latia had many military exploits. When the beauty was a teenager, she went to war with the army of Emperor Augustus VIII and completed many tasks brilliantly. The bright red on the sword and the blood stains on the weapon were left by the enemies she beheaded over the years, which is also the origin of the title of Red Devil. Because of too much killing, Latia has a murderous aura. Most ordinary gentlemen can't resist the murderous aura. When they see Latia, they can only avoid her, let alone take the initiative to flirt with her. As a result, Latia is still single, and no gentleman dares to take the risk to express his love. Once, when Latia came to the palace to report the situation to Emperor Augustus VIII, she happened to meet Osta.

At that time, Osta, the gentleman prince, was only about ten years old. He did not dodge, but pulled Latia's skirt and affectionately called her sister several times. Osta was a time traveler, and the ten-year-old age was not of reference value. Now thinking back, Osta was a little embarrassed. This gentleman prince was definitely intentional. Latia was only about three or four years older than him. Osta still remembered that the Red Devil Latia was flustered at the time, and the blood-red giant sword she was holding almost slipped, causing a lot of embarrassment. If Latia had not been dispatched to the front line by the Emperor Augustus VIII to perform combat missions in other places, Osta would have Chris by his side. This gentleman prince almost asked his mother, the Queen of the Empire Margaret III, to transfer Latia to her side as a guard. Now, the two sides meet again in this special environment, and the times have changed. Although many things have changed, Osta feels that the Red Devil Latia has not changed. She is still the sister who was embarrassed by his teasing back then.

"Everyone cheer up, we will set off tomorrow. If you have anything you want to say to your family, write it down now and leave a letter, so that you don't miss the opportunity in the future."

"Captain, we have followed you for many years and have long since become indifferent to life and death. There is no need for this!"

"This time is different. Those who went to the Great Golden Pyramid before basically never came back. It's crazy to come back. It's best to leave a letter."

"When we set out tomorrow, the only son in the family will stay behind to guard the camp. If we can't come back, you will go to the lord's mansion in St. Louis City, find the lord, and seek refuge with His Highness Aosta. I... I met His Highness once before, and he may still remember me."

"Captain, how about we cancel this operation and go directly to His Highness Aosta."

"That won't work. Military orders are as strong as mountains. We are here on orders. If we go directly to His Highness Aosta without completing the mission assigned by our superiors, it will affect the relationship between the two His Highnesses. This plan won't work. When I'm gone, you can make your own decisions."

"Captain, we..."

"Okay, no more words, everyone, just be open-minded. I understand what you mean. It's just..."

"Alas, sooner or later you will pay for what you have done. I have killed too many people over the years. If I stop here, it may be a relief. It is the result I deserve. It is fate and God's will. You don't need to persuade me."

Red Devil Latia showed a calmness that was indifferent to life and death. She had long put life and death aside. She could persist until now mainly because she had concerns and had to consider the future of the legion members. Osta quickly searched his memory. Latia was currently under the Imperial Military Department. She did not clearly stand on the side and had not publicly stated her personal political stance. However, the Obelisk Imperial Military Department mainly supported the Second Prince Oster. The royal brother who sent Latia here could basically be concluded to be Osta’s second brother Oster. Latia did not express her position, so it was no problem to classify her into the Second Prince Oster’s camp.

After knowing the true identity of the mastermind, Osta quickly thought of a countermeasure. Since the other party was an acquaintance of his, many things would be much easier to deal with. There was no need to make a big fuss. He could just let the Red Devil Latia withdraw her troops on her own initiative. Or he could let the beauty and the gentleman prince work together to pretend that this operation had gained nothing, and then go back to report to his second brother Oster casually and get away with it. Osta quickly thought of a countermeasure. He signaled Chris and Yulia with his eyes, and the three of them followed the Red Devil Latia and walked to the tent of the commander in the center of the temporary camp. Secret plans must not be discussed in public, in public, and should not be said in front of everyone. Secret negotiations in private are the best way to deal with them.

In this temporary military camp of the elite troops of the Obelisk Empire, there were very few female soldiers. The commander, the Red Devil Latia, lived alone, and the guards were some distance outside the tent of the commander. This condition provided an excellent environment for Osta to plot. When Osta followed Latia secretly, he looked up at the night sky tonight. There were no stars in the sky, and it was a moonless night, which was the best environment for discussing secret plans or doing some unspeakable bad things.

Red Devil Latia had an impression of Osta, the third prince of the empire, who was an unknown passerby back then. Under the extreme doting, excessive favoritism and protection of the empress Margaret III, outsiders thought that Osta was average in ability and would not be able to achieve great things without the special care of his mother. However, since he was sent to the Central Continent and arrived in the Bloomfield area to take up the post of new lord, the third prince took off directly, just like a different person, quickly integrating the local primitive tribes and clans, the lord's identity and power, and gained the recognition and support of local forces.

Red Devil Latia is in a delicate mood now. Her family is not from the Queen's faction, so she cannot get too close to Osta, so as not to cause misunderstandings from the outside world. Since arriving at the border, the tense situation here has attracted Latia's attention. Osta has made decisions on his own without reporting to the top leaders of the Obelisk Empire or notifying the current Emperor Augustus VIII. He has assembled more than 600,000 troops and stationed them on the eastern border. He has summoned troops and prepared to use force against his neighbors and launch a war against the Principality of Dennis. This behavior is too willful and the consequences are unpredictable. Of course, the Empire knows about it, but it is too late now. The troops have been assembled and the flag of the Obelisk Empire has been raised. If they retreat without fighting, the prestige and image of the Empire will be seriously damaged, and they have to fight.
