What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

At this time, the artificial eye was lying on a leaf, wrapped up on all sides.

The man, Connor, who interfered with the dragon's breath, was not careless. After the two phantom armors crashed, he waited for a while before rescuing the two surviving pilots.

For safety reasons, Connor used several vines to twist together to restrict their movements and senses. The artificial eye was also to prevent him from removing it from Zora's eye socket in order to prevent it from being monitored or monitored by magic.

"Where are you from?"

"Arzenal Valkyrie Training Center."

"Is it the largest island? How many people are there on the island, and how many Phantom Armors are there?"

"Yeah. I don't know. I'm just an ordinary driver."

"Where is the imperial capital? How do I get there?"

"I don't know. I've never been there." Zora paused slightly, and to prove that she was not lying, she told her own experience, "I was sent here to train as a Valkyrie since I was a child."

But...we have to go to the imperial capital? Why do we have to go to the imperial capital?

Zora subconsciously glanced at An Qi. Although she couldn't see, she knew that An Qi was tied to her. It would be fine if she didn't mention the imperial capital. She got angry when she mentioned the imperial capital. If An Qi hadn't tried to escape...

"If you don't know anything, then there's no point in asking..."

Zora yelled, "Wait! I only have two questions I don't know! Give me another chance! I know who knows where the imperial capital is!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

The imperial capital was like Angel's safe word. When she heard that the owner of the strange voice was going to the imperial capital, the blindfolded and gagged Angel began to struggle violently.

clap clap clap!

What's that sound? What's hitting the water? It wasn't the liquid here, it was just...

Zora immediately had a bad feeling.

Huh——

86. The non-existent empire

"It's a huge loss! Only one person came back alive today, but the whole army was wiped out and all the money was wasted!"

"What's your problem? I'm the one who's suffering. The Golden Retriever Killer was actually killed by his teammates? Which idiotic director arranged this script? I lost all my bets!"

"Why do I feel like the planner is trying to balance things out? Since they can't weaken the Golden Haired Killer, they're just going to move her down with the cockpit?"

At the Arzenal Valkyrie Training Center, Base Master Jill leaned on his robotic arm and silently read the popular reviews of "Valkyrie Onward".

"Saliya, you...from today on you are the captain of the first squadron."

The only survivor of the first squadron's five-man attack group, the deputy captain Salia with purple twin ponytails, never stopped sobbing: "Sir... I want to organize a search and rescue tomorrow."

The commander of the Gilbase and the commander-in-chief of Arzenal is a young lady with a stern face. The mechanical prosthesis on her right arm shows that she was originally a Valkyrie.

"Approved. I want to see the bodies of the dead and the living. Although there is a high probability that their bodies cannot be recovered, the phantom armors cannot be scattered outside."

"Tomorrow you will lead the reserve team of the first squadron to complete the recovery mission. As a subsidy, each person will receive triple the allowance."

"Go back and have a good rest, Salia." Jill patted Salia's shoulder. War and separation of life and death are often not far apart. As the new captain of the First Squadron, Salia must get used to separation.

"Yes, sir... If I had been more decisive, I would have shot the deserter Angie directly..."

Jill smiled but didn't answer. In her intact hand, she was still holding a ring that was seized from Angie. The ring was not broken, proving that Angie was not dead.

When Sallya leads people to find An Qi tomorrow...

Jill called over the military doctor from the training center: "Maggie, take her down to have a good rest. Use an injection if necessary."

Maggie, who had short burgundy hair, nodded and walked out holding Sallya's hand: "Good girl, you are so pitiful... Come to my place and I will give you something useful..."

"thank you……"

The only people left in the command room were Base Captain Jill and another woman who was watching calmly and unmoved. She was wearing only a white military uniform over her purple hip skirt and a white military cap on her head.

"The management of the training center should be stricter, desertion should be stopped, ideological education should be strengthened, and it is recommended to extend the training time to eight hours and the study time to four hours."

"Emma, you're already very strict... As the only citizen who can use magic, it must be unfair to be the inspector here, right?"

"Humph, if they still want to return to the Empire, it means their training is too lax."

"Commander Jill, when did you feel sympathy for the Degenerates? Oh, yes, you are also a Degenerate. But you, a Degenerate, destroyed the self-esteem of every Valkyrie backup sent to you. Do I need to remind you?"

Inspector Emma is ruthless, and her ability to use magic is her greatest strength.

"You are always very strict with Anqi. Do you think she is not dead yet?"

Captain Gilke spread his hands and said, "Who knows? If she's dead, then it's not her."

"Not what?" Emma asked confusedly.

"Nothing, Inspector, do you want to go inspect the base commander's bath?"

……

In a hidden bay somewhere on the island, Zora and Angel, who had retrieved their artificial eyes after being examined, were washing their bodies in the sea water.

The cold sea water irritated Anqi's lips and turned pale. She was even more overwhelmed by being naked in broad daylight.

"Hey, deserter princess, are you in a daze? That man's gun is still pointed at us." Zora knew that some things were inevitable, and she wiped the blood and urine from Angel's body openly.

The marks on her arms and thighs had not yet faded, but they did not in the least destroy the beauty of Zora's agile posture.

The Valkyries always go into battle wearing combat uniforms without any clothes on. Right now, the combat uniforms of both of them are in the hands of the man who calls himself Connor, and the two standard pistols equipped to the drivers have also been confiscated.

The standard equipment used by the guards in the underground factory is a short stick that can launch magic missiles and transform. They are not a unit specifically used for combat; when it comes to the Valkyries who are specifically used for combat, the individual equipment issued becomes a pistol.

The trigger completes the magic pattern of the magic circle on the gun body, which triggers the magic effect to condense the bullet. Just like the short stick, it is easy to operate after just one look.

Zora had no doubt that the man would blow their heads off with his gun.

Anqi's teeth were chattering from the cold, and she tremblingly scooped up a handful of sea water and poured it over herself.

Zora frowned and said, "How long are you going to take to wash it?"

After saying that, she kicked up a wave and Angie was knocked to the ground instantly after being caught off guard. After choking on the water several times, she found that Zora was sitting on her butt, pressing her so that she couldn't get up.

"You disgust me. My beloved teammate died because of you, and I am reduced to this state because of you." Zora did not find the usual pleasure in the slippery feeling when their skin touched. He almost squeezed out the pleasure through his teeth. "But we have to survive now. Maybe the people cleaning up the battlefield will find us."

"Understand? Stay alive!" Zora pressed Angie's head and pressed her chest against Angie's smooth back and said, "He's going to the imperial capital, and you happen to know the location of that imperial capital, so you'd better show your value!"

From this position, Connor could only see two Valkyries with impressive figures stacked on top of each other, and could not hear the sound of their voices or their lip movements.

"Don't tell him what he wants too soon. Delay it as long as possible. You used to be a princess. You must know what to do, right?"

Under the stimulation of the cold sea water and the granularity of Zora's flesh, Anqi's tears burst out of her eyes: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Even though she had killed so many people, Zora was still willing to teach her how to survive. For the first time, Angel treated the degenerate as a human being.

"If apologies are useful, what's the point of a military court?" Zora raised his hand and patted Angel's butt. Five red marks suddenly appeared on the trembling peaks.

Ah! An Qi suddenly raised her upper body and screamed loudly.

"If we can return to Arzenal alive, I will definitely send you to trial. Hurry up, or you will be suspected if you take too long."

After washing the body, the urine smell had disappeared. Zora brought the embarrassed Angie back to Connor.

"I am Angelize, the first princess of the empire..."

"Empire?"

Connor twirled the pistol, which was much more fun than a short stick. After listening to Angie introducing herself, he asked back:

"The Empire has long since perished."

87. Wonderful Tools

The imperial kingdom had long since perished, and everyone had already rushed into the era of the magical empire. How could there still be a first princess?

Why do I feel this person is stupid...

Connor even stopped playing with his pistol. He was a time traveler who was dragged here by the goddess. He had only stayed in the imperial capital for less than ten minutes, but everyone knew that the empire was gone. How come there were still natives who didn't know about it?

Could she really remember the way to the imperial capital? Was she perhaps some small-town tyrant?

"Actually..." Zora, as a mid-level commander of the Valkyries, knew a little about the situation. She explained to the dumbfounded Angie, "The current capital of the empire is the former capital of the imperial kingdom..."

After the coup in the imperial kingdom that exposed the degenerate nature of Angel, the first princess, the empire annexed the kingdom without any effort. Later, because the imperial city had the most concentrated magic nodes in the entire continent and had an extremely developed transportation location, the empire expanded the imperial city into a new imperial capital.

It is not difficult for the Magic Empire to relocate the imperial capital. All they have to do is move the imperial capital above the old imperial city.

"The Empire died long ago...died long ago..."

An Qi looked distraught. The country had been destroyed long ago? Then where had her petition letter been sent?

"Impossible... Impossible, this must be fake news..."

Connor interrupted Angie's mumbling and asked directly: "Tell me the direction of the imperial capital."

"The imperial capital is far away from here. The fuel loaded in the Phantom Armor can't go far before it sinks into the sea." Zora pinched Angel's butt to try to calm her down. Princess, please tell me some information that doesn't involve the core issues first to delay time as much as possible!

"far away?"

"I remember I came here by teleportation. Is there no teleportation array here that can go directly to the imperial capital?"

Connor asked curiously, he was not unfamiliar with the teleportation array, and he had briefly mastered an imperial weapon that could teleport before.

"How can the citizens let us degenerates go back? Isn't that right, Angie?"

"Ah... yes, yes..." An Qi was pinched and hurt, and replied quickly.

"In the past, when there were still many countries, the Degenerates were exiled to different regions, and no Degenerate could return to the mainland." When Angel was the first princess, she personally signed the decree of exile for the Degenerates. At that time, she never thought that there would be such a day for herself.

"Every once in a while, a teleportation array will deliver the needed supplies. Almost no citizen will stay here for a long time, except for the inspector." Zora added that the Valkyries also have needs, but the island simply cannot produce so many supplies. Every once in a while, people will be asked to move things from the empty warehouse.

Those were all sent over via the Inspector's teleportation array.

"Yeah, just like the underground factory."

"what?"

"You don't know? Just pretend I didn't tell you." Connor raised his eyebrows. Didn't the Valkyries know about the underground factory? The factory islands were not far from the main island of Arzenal where the Valkyries were, and the factories were also responsible for the production of Phantom Armor parts. Even so, the Valkyries didn't know that there were underground factories on the islands near them?

Angie looked at Connor blankly. She was only responsible for signing the orders and didn't care where the Degenerates were exiled or what they did.

It was not until now that she recalled that there seemed to be no man in the Arzenal Valkyrie Training Center?

Could it be that... all the male degenerates were sent to that underground factory?

But why did this man in front of me also know about the underground factory? Was he also a Degenerate? Then what about those magical performances before?

Anqi's brain became even less functional under the combined effects of multiple stimuli.

"Angie... Hey, Angie... don't be confused..."

Connor ignored Angel and Zora. After asking a few questions, he found that there seemed to be only two ways to go to the imperial capital.

The first is to cross the sea to the continental border; the second is to sneak into the factory or Valkyrie training center to find the teleportation array that transports materials and kidnap an imperial citizen who can use magic. Without a citizen to use magic to open the teleportation array, those magic patterns are at most useless patterns.

Connor had already thought of the first method of crossing the sea in the flesh. If the Phantom Armor didn't work, it would be impossible to build a boat with the trees on the island. So he could use his [Force Summon] to call Esdeath out to freeze the sea, walk to the edge of the ice and continue to summon. As long as he didn't get lost and found the direction of the empire, he would definitely reach the empire by repeating the steps.

The second method...

Connor glanced at Zora and Angel who were whispering. Could these two Valkyries be used?

"If you want to go back to the imperial capital, I can agree to anything you want, as long as you promise to take me with you!"

Angel and Zora seemed to have a fierce quarrel. The first princess, who had been suppressing her emotions, finally reached the brink of an explosion. After uttering a royal curse at Zora, she ran to Connor.

She wanted to throw herself on Connor's knees and ask him to have a little mercy on her desire to return to the magical world.

But she had just rushed over and knelt down, and before she could move forward, Connor dodged her.

What the hell? A surprise assassination?

As an assassin, he is particularly sensitive to all kinds of sudden situations around him. He first uses words to paralyze the enemy, then pretends to surrender and suddenly attacks, especially when the enemy is a beautiful woman. With the bonus of beauty, the success rate of assassination is definitely not low.

When I was playing Assassin's Creed Memories in the past, many targets died from the sudden attacks of normal passers-by. If you are not careful, the drunk on the street might be an assassin who is targeting your life.

Connor's body moved completely subconsciously. The golden apple turned into a dagger and pressed it against Angie's neck, which was washed by the sea water. With a little force, it cut the princess' skin, leaving a faint trace of blood. His other hand was not idle either, and the black muzzle of the pistol was aimed at Zora who was standing there.

Zora: God knows! I just want to persuade Anqi to use her brain a little more!

An Qi: It’s unfair! I really want to go back to the capital!

Zora and Angie didn't dare to move, and even raising their hands was feared to be mistaken by Connor as a sign of an attack.
