Lords go left, Emperors go right

The actual situation on Osta's side, from the army to the logistics and food supplies, was all raised by the gentleman prince himself, and was completely undertaken by his territory, the Bloomfield area, without the support of the Obelisk Empire, nor did he ask his father for support. In essence, this is more like a private war planned by Osta in the name of the empire. Even if the imperial military knew about it, they could only watch from the sidelines, and they were not even qualified to come forward to give instructions, let alone send people to the battlefield. For some selfish reasons, Latia has not yet disclosed the military conflict she discovered to her superiors, and has not mentioned any relevant reports or relevant content. It's like selective blindness, turning a blind eye to certain things.

"Captain Kyle, have you figured out what I want to investigate?"

"Captain, we have secretly contacted people in the Imperial Army before, but we can't find any relevant records about General Omley in their country's senior generals' files."

"This is strange. General Omlai, a general appointed by His Highness Osta who commanded an army of more than 600,000, has no record in the archives. What went wrong? His Highness Osta would never give the important task of commanding a large army to a suspicious general of unknown origin."

"Captain, shall we continue investigating?"

"No need for that. If even the Imperial Military Department doesn't have the files, then it will be useless to investigate further. Let's abandon that clue and temporarily stop the relevant operations. We will consider restarting them after our plan is completed."

"As you command, Captain. If there are no new orders, I will take my leave first."

Chapter 65: Encounter on the Northward Movement on the Kurdo River (Part 2)

————This chapter (5K) (can be skipped, supplements the main storyline)————

The ancient city of Meskhetim is located in the central area of ​​the Mesfilta continent (the western continent of the human race) and within the borders of the Obelisk Empire. Osta set out from this thousand-year-old city to carry out a special action plan. The two beauties, Sudina, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Marylans, and Elnasa, the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Principality of Eludic, both entrusted Osta with help to seek justice for their country. The gentleman prince took advantage of this opportunity to act, and the culprit behind all this was the second prince Oster. The other party has the support of the imperial military, and the emperor of the empire, Augustus VIII, acquiesces to this. His father has no intention of intervening, and Osta is not in a position to openly fight with his brother. He can only adopt a step-by-step approach, first following the formal process, submitting memorials and making suggestions, and seeing the true attitudes of the major mainstream forces in the Obelisk Empire.

While making his report, Osta also launched a secret rescue operation, giving priority to rescuing the relatives of Sudina and Elnasha, arranging for them to seek refuge in the Central Continent and go into exile overseas, secretly observing changes in the situation, and waiting for an opportunity to return to the Western Continent to consider other matters. The lord of this generation of the Principality of Eludik, Duke Edila, is currently under house arrest, while the king of the Kingdom of Marylans, Malgado IV, has not been captured. The number of people that Osta needs to rescue is not large, so the operation is not difficult.

This time, the Gentleman Prince did it himself, and did not let Chris and the others participate. The beautiful ladies around Osta had special abilities and were very recognizable. Many people in the Obelisk Empire knew about it, and there was a high probability that they would be recognized. Osta himself was not easy to be recognized. On the Western Continent, the people of the Obelisk Empire, from the royal nobles to the common people, still had the impression of the third prince as an ordinary passerby prince. They believed that his strength and personal combat power were only at the level of an intermediate or advanced warrior. Outsiders had no idea that Osta had reached the level of a true god, and with the help of a special contract and deep bond with the water demon god Sstella, he had most of the divine power of the pseudo-water god and could freely control the water magic element.

Osta's destination this time was Quinque, an important town in the north of the Obelisk Empire. On the surface, this city was an ordinary town, but in fact, it was secretly under the direct control of the Imperial Army. There was a special secret prison built there, which was dedicated to holding some special prisoners, all of whom were convicted of violating military regulations in a military court. Osta collected intelligence information through inquiries from many sources and indirect investigations, and analyzed the existence of this place.

In the internal management system of the Obelisk Empire, the imperial prisons are all managed by civil officials. The civil official group is in charge of regular prisons and controls all jailers. This is a very annoying thing for the imperial military. In order to compete with the civil official group, the military generals collectively petitioned, demanding that military prisoners be handled by the imperial military and not be tried and detained by the judicial institutions controlled by the civil officials. The former emperor of the empire, out of consideration for balancing the political forces of all parties, finally agreed to the establishment of the military generals, allowing the imperial military to build its own trial and prison institutions. This was the will of the previous emperor, and it was authorized by the previous monarch. The current emperor of the empire, Augustus VIII, the father of Aosta, could not veto it, so he could only acquiesce to the fait accompli.

The resignation of the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Marylans and the Principality of Eludik was the result of a series of military operations planned by the Imperial Military. Therefore, the relevant personnel were basically placed under house arrest in the northern important town of Quinque, and would not be placed in a regular prison controlled by the civil service group. Osta disguised himself as a water magic god, wearing a dark blue magic cloak and a magician's hat, looking quite decent. This gentleman prince, at the beginning, had a bit of a mischievous mentality. He found a fake beard and put it on his face. With this big beard that looked like Santa Claus, outsiders from a distance would probably mistake it for an old magician, not a young man, unless they got close and observed it carefully.

"These monsters are as numb as mice. Fortunately, we have magic cores, otherwise the fight would have been in vain."

Before setting off, Osta said hello to Chris and the others. After disguising himself, he used magic to move at high speed. There was no flying spell in water magic, but there was a similar ripple run, which was to move very fast on the water surface, almost like flying in the sky. This moving magic had terrain restrictions and could only be used on the water surface, including rivers, lakes and seas, but not on land. It could not be used without water, and its scope of application was not as good as flying spells. Osta was lucky this time. There happened to be a river in the direction of Quinque City. The city was built along the river and was located upstream of the Kurdo River.

Osta walked directly on the waves, moving along the Kurdo River, going upstream from the downstream, and moving rapidly upstream. The scene looked like a strong sense of déjà vu that seriously violated the laws of physics. Only to see a mysterious figure moving rapidly on the river, moving in the opposite direction of the current. In the blink of an eye, Osta disappeared, and he heard the special sound of wind when the air was broken. This speed was comparable to real flying.

The Kuldo River is not a safe waterway. Some sections of the river are threatening and are inhabited by dangerous aquatic monsters such as the Cook's Sea Rat. The Cook's Sea Rat looks similar to an otter on Earth, but its body size is several times larger. Moreover, its temperament has become much more ferocious and it will attack anyone it sees. This aquatic monster swims very fast in the water and is immune to water and fire magic attacks to a certain extent. It is also good at water magic attack skills. Its fangs are highly toxic and it is a very dangerous monster. There is a rumor that this aquatic monster originated from the sea and its appearance in rivers can be seen as an alien version of a biological invasion in some ways.

Generally, Cook's sea rats move in groups, and they mainly attack lone prey. Small boats and fishing boats are the main targets of attack, as well as tourists on the riverside. If they encounter large ships, they will hide and not take the initiative to cause trouble. On the way of Aosta, he encountered several groups of Cook's sea rats who took the initiative to cause trouble and block the road. The other side saw the gentleman prince moving alone on the river, and thought he was a lone adventurer, and immediately came to siege him.

Osta took action directly without being polite to the other party. After he mastered the ability to manipulate metal elements, he generated weapons on the spot and conjured up an extra-long metal sword. The long sword in the hands of the gentleman prince became the main combat weapon. Although Osta's swordsmanship was only at the entry-level level, the professional level of an apprentice swordsman, it was not a problem to beat this group of aquatic monsters. The defense of the Cook sea rat itself was not very strong. With one sword, it was cut in half. The weapon synthesized by metal elements was extremely sharp and could be cut at the touch.

After several rounds of encounters, the Cook sea rats finally gave in. Osta killed dozens of aquatic monsters in a row, and remained calm, as if he was a butcher walking on the water. He was wearing a dark blue magician's robe, but he used a long sword, a weapon of the martial profession. The Cook sea rats could only scatter and flee in all directions, as if they were avoiding the plague god. This was the first time they had encountered such an unethical adventurer. He was dressed like a magician, used the weapons of the swordsman profession, and his weapons and attack methods were all martial professions. It was simply impossible to defend against him.

"Strange, how come our ship's speed has increased so much when the wind speed hasn't changed?"

"Never mind that. The ship's high speed is a good thing. The reason is not important. As long as we can reach Kaikuinke City as soon as possible, it will be good. If there is a delay, the military punishment will be severe."

"Lord Kain, there are many aquatic monsters in the Kuldo River. Could it be that they are doing something behind the scenes?"

"You idiot, are you still asleep? Cook's sea rat is a water monster with almost no IQ. It's just luck that it doesn't attack the ship. It will help us push the boat. Isn't that a fantasy?"

"Lord Cain, you are wise and I am stupid."

"Use your brain. When you get to Quinque, be careful with what you say and do. There are big shots in the Imperial Army there. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you."

Osta was in a good mood. After killing dozens of aquatic monsters, no Cook sea rat dared to come and seek death. The other party was so scared that he didn't even have the courage to retaliate. At this time, the gentleman prince's eyes stayed on the water not far away. He found a ship that was also going upstream. The appearance of this ship was that of a warship, and the flag it hung was also the flag of the Obelisk Imperial Army. The Imperial Navy was all managed by the Imperial Military Department, and that warship was controlled by the Imperial Military Department.

After Osta discovered the ship, he thought for a while, sped up, and moved towards the warship. Judging from its course, the ship's destination was most likely Quink, an important town in the north. The gentleman prince could just take advantage of the opportunity to hitch a ride on the ship to save time. As for the ship's speed, because Osta controlled the water element, he could secretly increase the speed. Without the crew knowing what was happening, the ship suddenly became faster, as if an invisible giant hand was pushing it underwater.

The sailors on the ship were all frightened by the sudden acceleration. They were all stunned. This sailing warship was mainly driven by wind power, with a turbine turned by human power and manual paddling as an auxiliary. The instant acceleration was simply unbelievable. Osta boarded the ship calmly and successfully boarded the ship under the cover of night. The sailors on the ship, these crew members, were all active soldiers of the Imperial Military, but they did not notice the intruders at all. It was a dark and windy night, and they were on the border of their own country, on an important golden waterway in the central area of ​​the Empire. The soldiers would inevitably relax and think that there would be no safety problems. As a result, outsiders had the opportunity to sneak in.

Osta quickly found out the relevant information about the ship. This ship is the "Breaking Waves" belonging to the Obelisk Empire Military. Its main function is to help transport important materials and special goods. At present, the person in charge of the ship is General Cain. This guy has no personal ability and business level. He can become a general completely through the backdoor. To put it bluntly, he is a relative. His family is from a family of imperial generals and is one of the sons of an old general. Therefore, the Imperial Military gave him a seemingly easy job with a lot of benefits. The scope of the ship's activities is still within the territory of the empire. In theory, there will be no major problems.

Oster secretly observed for a while, but soon stopped paying attention to General Cain. He lost interest. The blond young man was so fat that he couldn't even wear his armor properly. This kind of person could get a general position by relying on his family's relationship. It seems that the imperial military has a big problem. The conservative military families need to be rectified. The second prince Oster can't do it. He needs the support of the imperial military. The relationship with these military families is deep-rooted, and it is impossible for him to make up his mind to rectify them. If someone else were to change the situation, it would be possible to change the situation. It would be best if he was a capable person who was not afraid of retaliation from the imperial military.

"Baby, sorry for the wait, I'm coming..."

"Kain, you can't hold on for long every time, this time..."

"Baby, you can't blame me for this. It's because you're too...speak softly. It won't be good if someone hears you."

"Kain, you are a direct descendant of the Marshal's family. It's not a big deal if you were discovered. Is there anyone who dares to accuse you?"

"Your Majesty has recently rectified military discipline and issued a number of decrees. Family members are not allowed to accompany important transports. If they are discovered, they will be severely punished."

"Kain, you believe this kind of superficial stuff. To be honest, His Majesty's decree is not as effective as His Highness' words."

"Okay, baby, let's just do that now and not talk about business."

After walking a few steps, Osta accidentally discovered that General Cain was not a serious person. He dared to bring women on board. The Emperor of the Obelisk Empire, the current monarch Augustus VIII, recently issued several imperial edicts to rectify military discipline, requiring soldiers, especially senior generals, to set an example, strictly discipline themselves, and strictly prohibit family members from following. Cain was simply going against the wind. He said he would obey, but there was no seriousness in his dark eyes, and he still had a playful expression. Whether he was sincere or not was obvious at a glance, and there was no need for further investigation.

The playmate that Kain brought was still quite pretty. She was a big fat white sheep with a hot and plump body, pure black hair, standard long straight hairstyle, and a pair of brown eyes. The height of Jiali was estimated to be about 163CM, not tall, and her appearance was just barely at the average level, a few points short of being a little girl. The biggest feature was that she was big. The highest peak area in front of her was not to be underestimated, at least around the level of G. For a big vegetable of that size, the snow peaks looked like a pair of white jade watermelons. From Osta's aesthetic point of view, this playmate could only be said to be qualified, with a slightly acceptable appearance, otherwise, she would be a standard tank.

General Kain may be a fat man himself, so when he was looking for someone to play with, his selection criteria were affected. He also chose a big girl who was close to a tank, instead of a thin and tall girl. Now, this big girl was only equipped with a set of thin underwear, a classic lavender design, similar to a bikini swimsuit, with a light pattern and black suspenders. On the big fat sheep's head, there was a pure black furry animal ear headdress, which was obviously a female mastiff type. Apart from anything else, she was really good at playing. On the chest of the playmate, there was a pure gold necklace. This gold chain was most likely obtained by General Kain to reward his lover and please his mistress.

According to the current regulations of the Obelisk Empire Army, the monthly salary of a general, unless he is on the battlefield, is not too high for a senior general stationed in a peaceful area, and he simply cannot afford such an expensive luxury item. The pure gold flower headdress worn on the left side of the head of the big girl was also given by General Cain. For such an important mission, the woman he can bring out is definitely one of the best among his mistresses.

Now, the big white fat sheep, facing the direction of Cain, maintains the posture of a soldier sitting down, with his snow-white legs closed and clamped together, thighs together and tightened, kneeling with knees downwards, thighs resting on calves, hands placed flat on both sides of the waist, waiting for orders, with an attitude of obedience. After all, the other party gave too much, and the gold coins were in place, so supporting him was not a problem at all.

"Lord Cain, it's bad, we..."

"What are you shouting for? I'm busy. Don't come in!"

"Lord Cain, we found several unmanned ships on the route ahead. Look..."

"They are just a few abandoned boats. What's the big deal? Just ignore them and keep sailing. Next time you bother me with this kind of thing, I will throw you into the river no matter who you are!"

"Lord Cain, I understand."

"I understand, why don't you get out of here!"

General Cain was about to show off his brothers and start to have fun when there was a hurried knock on the door. His subordinates came to report the situation. This subordinate was smart enough not to force his way in, but knocked on the door to report. If he really came in, he would probably be thrown into the river to feed the fish. Osta was secretly observing not far away, and he could monitor the situation nearby without getting close. The gentleman prince could see the situation in the cabin through other water elements nearby as a medium and share the vision.

While General Kain was talking to his men, Osta turned his head to look at the waterway in the distance. On the Kurdo River waterway, not far ahead of the Breaking Waves, there appeared several unmanned empty ships drifting downstream. The decks of the ships were empty, and there was no sign of sailors. If you didn't know the situation, you might think you had encountered a ghost ship like the one in urban legends that appeared and disappeared out of nowhere, and it was almost as terrifying as a ghost ship.

This suspicious situation did not attract Cain's attention. This idiot general was enjoying himself at the moment and didn't care at all. Any other regular general with some ability would have taken action. Osta was already alert. He secretly moved to the side of the ship, looked at the unmanned ship floating towards him, and prepared for battle. The Breaking Waves was carrying special supplies of the Imperial Army, and someone might target it. The generals in charge of transportation were on duty in rotation. This time it happened to be the turn of General Cain, the good-for-nothing, to be on duty. For those forces with ulterior motives and other purposes, this was an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack. If they missed it, they would have to wait a long time.

Chapter 76: The expedition team bravely enters the super maze (Part 2)

————This chapter (8K)————

In the eastern border area of ​​Bloomfield, at the border with the neighboring Principality of Dennis, on the Grandes Mountains, the most conspicuous outer maze of the Golden Great Pyramid, one of the seven overseas royal tombs of the Meskhetim Empire, the temporary military camp center built by the elite troops of the Obelisk Empire, the "Crimson Blade", secretly sneaked in. As the supreme commander of this special operations force, "Red Devil" Latia, under the personal intervention of Osta, after a secret negotiation, she quickly compromised with the gentleman prince.

The main mission of Latiya and her troops here is to secretly investigate the dragon veins and the imperial mausoleum. In name, it is in accordance with the requirements of the imperial military. In fact, this is a direct secret order from the second prince of the empire, Oster. The relationship between Oster and his second brother, Oster, has not yet reached the stage of open confrontation. Oster, who holds the military power of the empire, needs Oster's support. Even if the third brother does not stand on the side, at least he must remain neutral. In this way, Oster's competition with the eldest prince Osder for the crown prince and the future battle for the throne can avoid a powerful opponent. Therefore, the secret sending of people to infiltrate the other party's territory must not be made public.

Osta plans to keep the "Crimson Blade" special forces and turn them into his legion. At that time, on the surface, the special forces will still be loyal to the military of the Obelisk Empire. However, the legion will be privately affiliated with the combat force of the third prince Osta, and that will be fine. Osta knows the commander of the "Crimson Blade", "Red Devil" Latia. This beautiful legion commander and a gentleman prince had met once many years ago, and this fate became an opportunity for the two sides to cooperate.

Latia didn't have many choices. Although her personal combat power was very strong, she was not as good as the two special maids, Chris and Yulia, who were accompanying Osta. She would be disarmed on the spot after only three moves, and it was easy to kill her in seconds. Thinking of this, Latia put down her exclusive giant sword weapon "Scarlet Fang" and sat down next to the gentleman prince at Osta's signal. This beauty had a heavy murderous aura all over her body. She had been running around on various battlefields for many years and fighting on the battlefield for many years. Compared with ordinary ladies, she had little time to dress up, and she certainly had no time to get perfume. The special fragrance all over her body was a faint smell of blood.

Latia herself could not remember clearly how many enemies had died at the hands of her exclusive giant sword weapon "Scarlet Fang" over the years. Osta did not despise Latia's past. This gentleman prince dared to tease even the real demon princess and elf princess, and even showed no intention of restraining himself when facing the female demon queen Asmodeus, let alone a lady of human origin.

Latia's family had no family background before. Her father died on the battlefield for the empire, and her mother died of complications from dystocia shortly after she was born. She was basically the only child in the family. This provided Osta with excellent recruitment conditions. If Latia had a prominent family background, a high status, and considering the various complex interests involved, Osta would need to consider carefully before recruiting her.

Latiya is now a legion commander who is purely following orders. The second prince Oster treats this beauty as a tool without too many emotional considerations. Among the direct descendants of the royal family of the Obelisk Empire, Oster has the most warlike character. The prince is not very interested in beauty and probably thinks that women will only affect his sword-drawing speed. Therefore, Oster does not care about the gender of his legion commanders and uses and arranges them as tools of war.

"Sister Latiya, your understanding of me is still stuck in the past. How about this, let's have a competition and learn from each other. Then you will know that I am different."

"Your Highness Osta, this... this is probably not appropriate. Your strength and personal combat power are only that of an intermediate warrior. Did you use a special magic item to perform the flash skill just now?"

"Sister Latiya, you really didn't see it... This matter is a long story, and it can't be explained in a short time. It's better to take action to explain it. Draw your sword, just treat it as an order from the king."

"Your Highness Aosta, since it is your order, I can only offend you."

"Sister Latiya, don't let me down, give it your all, I don't need to show any mercy. If you don't show your true ability, I won't be satisfied and I will do it again."

"Your Highness Osta, I...I understand!"

Osta saw that Latia was still a little worried, so he proposed a duel. In the tent of the commander, the gentleman prince wanted to take this opportunity to show his personal strength. The beauty opposite was a military commander. If he wanted to convince the other party, strong personal combat power was a must. Latia looked at Osta's serious expression and knew that she could not be perfunctory, so she could only go all out. Chris and Yulia, who were standing not far from the gentleman prince, did not stop him, but nodded slightly, acquiescing to their prince's challenge. It seemed that they recognized Osta's strength.

This time, the competition was a one-shot one. The Red Devil Latia took a deep breath, raised her exclusive giant sword weapon "Scarlet Fang" again, and slashed vertically in the direction of Osta. When this beauty launched her attack skills, the giant sword flashed scarlet light. Osta asked for a full-strength attack, and Latia had no choice but to do it. The attack skill she launched now, "Scarlet Assault", was one of her signature skills. It was extremely powerful. When she launched the attack, the blood-red light could easily destroy the walls of most cities. It was an excellent city-breaking move.

Latia deliberately chopped off the target, not aiming at Osta, and deliberately missed the target, attacking the position beside the gentleman prince. According to her plan, as long as the sword energy passed by her, it would be considered a hit, which was almost the same as stopping at the target. However, Latia was soon confused. Osta took the initiative to move and corrected the direction by himself, facing the vertical blood-red light. Latia had no way to retract her attack. If she hit it, she would be charged with attacking a member of the royal family, which would be a serious crime. At that time, if she missed, a gentleman prince would be gone, and there would be no evidence. The other party's claim that he took the initiative to order the attack was not testified by the person involved.

Osta stood there motionless, perfectly catching the attack of "Scarlet Assault". The blood light had no way to break through the defense. When it was still some distance away from the Gentleman Prince, it was blocked by a water magic defense barrier and bounced back directly. It couldn't even scrape the magic barrier and couldn't break through the magic shield. When Latia came to her senses, Osta had already walked in front of her. He stretched out his hand and gently pulled, snatching the weapon from the beauty's hand, disarming her on the spot. The outcome was decided. The Gentleman Prince also picked up the "Scarlet Fang" with one hand. This two-handed weapon attribute giant sword was as light as a one-handed sword in Osta's hand, and he was very comfortable when wielding it.

After a brief moment of shock, Latiya was finally convinced. Osta showed both magic and martial arts strength, which could be considered as a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. This gentleman prince hid too deeply. When he was in the Western Continent of the Human Race, even his biological mother, Margaret III, the Queen of the Obelisk Empire, did not notice this secret. While sighing, Latiya also realized that the other party was willing to reveal his trump card and show her his skills, which was completely treating her as a direct subordinate.

Not only Latia was surprised, but also the witch Heleti on the side. Osta's water magic shield was based on a deep bond and a special contract, using the divine power of the water demon goddess Stella, and could sense her breath. The witch was shocked and had a subtle expression for a while. She couldn't understand why a certain human gentleman prince used magic with the breath of a god, and a god with evil attributes. In addition, the other party was the successor of the Pope of the Church of Light and the next generation of the highest ruler of the Holy Light Church. How could this identity hook up with the evil god, get in touch with him, and obtain his abilities? It was simply unbelievable.

"Your Highness Aosta, please forgive my rudeness, you... you have concealed your personal strength before?"

"Sister Latiya, I didn't hide anything. It's just that I didn't have the chance to take action before. How about it, you should not have any confusion now, right?"

"Your Highness Osta, I am no match for you. With your strength, you should not need weak subordinates."

"Sister Latiya, what nonsense are you talking about? I have shown you my strength. From now on, you...you and your army are my people. I will not treat you unfairly. If my second brother finds out and makes trouble, I will be responsible for the explanation. It has nothing to do with you."

"Oh... Your Highness, I understand. Please give me your guidance in the future."

"Helati, do you have any questions?"

"Your Highness, you are a trustworthy ally. We will listen to you without any worries."

After the close combat, the "Red Devil" Latia completely surrendered and accepted Osta's identity as the new master. The witch Heleti also expressed her full cooperation with the gentleman prince. There is no need to worry too much about her sincerity. The demons generally believe in the concept of respecting the strong. As long as Osta's personal strength is strong enough and far exceeds the opponent, the witches will not betray their allies. They only follow the strongest. The behavior of backstabbing teammates is only possible unless the strength comparison of the two sides is reversed.

Osta's plan was to ask his mother, the Queen Margaret III of the Obelisk Empire, to personally make relevant requests to the Imperial Military through her biological mother, asking them to secretly station the entire "Crimson Blade" Corps, one of the Empire's elite forces, in the territory of Osta, the capital of Bloomfield, and the important coastal port city of St. Louis on the grounds of "protecting the security of important ports in the Empire's overseas colonies."

If it was the intention of the Empress Margaret III, the second prince Oster would not raise any objections or doubts. He had a large number of elite special operations corps under his control. The "Scarlet Blade" was not the most outstanding one among the corps, and was far from the first-class standard. It was definitely not a special operations corps that was among the best in strength, but only at the second or third-rate level. Therefore, Oster did not need to make his relationship with the Empress and his third brother awkward because of the transfer of this corps. It was not worth it, and the cost was definitely not worth it.

The special operations corps secretly sent by the second prince of the empire, Oster, to the Grandes Mountains to investigate the dragon veins were not only the "Crimson Blade" led by the Red Devil Latia, but also at least two other special operations corps. Latia was not aware of the corps numbers and other detailed information. Oster just happened to meet the "Crimson Blade" corps. The gentleman prince did not know which imperial elites the other two special operations corps were.

Osta usually doesn't care much about the affairs of the Imperial Army. That area is mainly managed by the second prince Oster. The other princes are not deeply involved in it, so they are naturally unaware of it. However, it doesn't matter if the gentleman prince doesn't know. Being able to win over the "Crimson Blade" Legion is a major victory for Osta. Oster did not fully trust "Red Devil" Latia and her "Crimson Blade" special operations corps. At the same time, he arranged for other special operations corps to come over. The two sides monitored each other and had no intention of cooperating with each other to complete this assigned task from the beginning. The original intention of the second prince was to keep these corps in a delicate relationship of checks and balances to avoid a situation where one corps dominates.

"Sister Latiya, you don't need to arrange too many people. I only need you and Heleti. I have already arranged the other team members."

"Your Highness, there is a super maze outside the Great Golden Pyramid, and no normal person has ever been able to get out of it. You don't need to go there in person. If something unexpected happens, I won't be able to explain to the Queen."

"Sister Latiya, let me talk to the Queen Mother. I will explain. This is what the King meant. You don't have to worry about it."

"As for the other special operations forces, if your people are not leading the way, they probably won't be stupid enough to go out in advance. These legion commanders are not fools. They will understand the stupidity of rushing to be the first to explore the way."

"Understood, Your Highness. Everything is up to you."

"Prince Osta, I am not comfortable with public appearances. Can I..."

"Heleti, I will provide professional equipment. With those special equipment, you don't need to show up in public, so you have to help with this operation."

As one of the collaborators in this archaeological operation, the witch Heleti naturally did not escape the arrangement of her peers. She was completely controlled by Yulia. Although she had an advantage over Yulia in height and figure, she still could not achieve a counterattack based on this. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was too large, almost like the difference between heaven and earth. At this time, Heleti, the witch herself, blushed slightly, and her charming face revealed a shy expression that succubus rarely showed. The attributes of succubus are very open in many aspects, and they rarely feel shy.

Osta looked around and suddenly realized that Yulia was the biggest winner at the scene. Not only did she get three hamburgers, fries and juice for free, she also captured the witch Heleti and made the succubus submit to a gentleman prince. After this round of secret contact, Osta asked Yulia to remove the black curtain sealing magic barrier as soon as possible and cancel the isolation of the temporary military camp commander's tent from the outside world.

Latiya explained to her trusted subordinates that she needed to retreat alone for a while to study relevant countermeasures, and temporarily handed over the command of the "Crimson Blade" Corps to her most trusted subordinate. Taking advantage of this retreat, Latiya secretly left the temporary military camp and acted with a gentleman prince. This matter was carried out in secret. Even to Latiya's most trusted subordinates, she would not reveal a word to avoid the news from getting out and attracting the attention of the other two special operations corps.

At this stage, as long as the "Crimson Blade" Corps does not launch an operation, the other two special operations corps will also remain inactive. Rushing to explore the way and letting the corps face the risk of a large number of non-combat casualties is not a wise move. The commanders of these two corps will not be so stupid as to take the initiative to serve as pathfinders for competitors. "Red Devil" Latiya gave instructions, and after the instructions were completed, Osta followed suit, using the method used during the infiltration. With the blessing of the special concealment secret method "Time Traveler", he successfully took Latiya and the witch Heleti away from the temporary camp built by the "Crimson Blade" Special Operations Corps and returned to the temporary foothold of the gentleman prince nearby. The soldiers of the corps probably didn't expect that their own corps commander, in the core area of ​​their own military camp, allowed a gentleman prince to be easily abducted without anyone noticing.

When Osta returned to his base, his important female subordinate, the "mechanical angel" Salia, the beautiful patriarch, had already sent the professional exploration equipment to the landing point designated by Osta by special air transport. With this batch of high-tech equipment, it would be much easier to conquer the super maze around the Great Golden Pyramid. The high-tech equipment included special chemical protection suits, professional mobile vehicles similar to the "Lunar Exploration Rover", and built-in mechanical arms. Machines are more reliable than humans at certain times. After putting on the special protective suit, the whole face is covered with a round glass cap, just like an astronaut in space.

Battle magician Betty Yafu and her companions didn't recognize these strange-looking high-tech props. As natives of the alien world of this plane, they had basically seen high-tech products from other dimensions for the first time. Witch Heleti did recognize some of them. This thousand-year-old witch, the succubus, vaguely remembered that before the demise of prehistoric civilization, those previous generations of travelers used strange props that looked almost the same, and their functions and effects were probably similar.

The next morning, with the assistance of Osta and the personal help of the gentleman prince, the team members all changed into pure white special protective clothing. The team of more than a dozen people took the exploration vehicle and drove towards the entrance of the super maze outside the Golden Pyramid. After entering the super maze, the light dimmed instantly. The brightness of the lighting in the super maze was far less than that of the world outside the super maze. The walls of the maze were too high, blocking most of the light. Exploration during the day was the best choice. At night, the difficulty of exploration would double.

"Mr. Oger, I have been to the Super Maze several times before. Every time I come, the route I take after entering the Super Maze is completely different. This Super Maze seems to be changing all the time, and it is impossible to predict it."

"Betty Yafu, times have changed. Some things are more reliable than magic. Look at the picture here."

"Mr. Ogg, are these images a new type of magic that has just appeared? It's amazing."

"Betty Yafu, this thing is not magic. I can't explain it to you right away. I'll explain it to you in private when I have the chance."

"Bediafu, now, which place on the image do you think is the correct direction of the entrance to the Great Golden Pyramid?"

"Mr. Ogg, this should be the route. If we keep going, we will find the real entrance to the Great Golden Pyramid."

"Betty Yafu, sit tight, let's go."

Aosta's team members boarded the exploration vehicle and began to enter the super maze area outside the Golden Great Pyramid. Although this super maze is constantly changing, as if it has vitality. The route in the super maze will constantly change, and Aosta has found a safe and effective way to find the way. "Mechanical Angel" Salia sent a number of micro-intelligent high-altitude flying machines to cooperate with the operation in advance. From high in the air, the super maze area below began to be remotely sensed and mapped. This mapping is also followed up in real time and continuously updated.

No matter how the super maze changes, the display screen on the investigation vehicle driven by Osta is always updated in real time with the latest super maze map. With the maze map, combined with a certain amount of experience and judgment, it is easy to find the real exit of the super maze, walk out and reach the real entrance of the Great Golden Pyramid, and get one step closer to the precious treasure that is rich enough to rival a country.

Betty Yafu didn't know the real purpose of the strange multi-wheeled tool vehicle she was riding. At first, she thought that all these novel props were the products of the alchemists' crazy experiments, sold and resold as by-products in exchange for precious real money. With the most accurate plane map, Betty Yafu quickly determined the exit direction of the super maze based on her personal experience. With a map in hand, she was very confident.

Since they had a clear action goal and direction, the archaeological team of Aosta officially set off. The role played by those miniature high-altitude intelligent flying machines in the sky is comparable to that of the GPS navigation and positioning system. The gentleman prince refreshed the map information in real time, and with the assistance of the navigation system, the direction of the team's movement never deviated from the real maze exit direction. The maze walls of the super maze, with an average height of more than ten meters, could not resist the high-altitude remote sensing mapping method of Aosta. Even in the plane of the alien world where sword and magic civilization dominates the mainstream and has the dominant power, high-tech means can play an unexpected role in certain specific environments and very few special occasions, which is stronger than magic.
