The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Holding the orb of light symbolizing divinity in her hand, Maginus still did not immediately deal with their wishes. She still had a use for this power of faith and needed to save it up first, as it might save their lives someday.

As for her chaotic thoughts, she can still handle them so far, there's no rush, and besides...

By reaching out and grasping one of the threads, Maginos saw through the statue what was happening on the other side: the person she had chosen earlier was now loudly proclaiming the doctrines he had established in the sewers.

It is more complete than the doctrines of Maginus, but its essence has been completely changed. In short, it has become more evil, capable of murder and arson, and is somewhat similar to the doctrines of the god of slaughter and the god of fear.

The girl even felt that it was the subconscious influence caused by the two gods, rather than the person's own idea.

Fortunately, they have been targeted by certain orthodox churches and city administrators, and these kind-hearted people can help them prune the diseased branches.

Slightly easing her dizziness, Maginus continued to refine her divinity, striving to reach a level where she would no longer be affected by the emotions of believers when receiving the power of faith.

By then, I should be considered a quasi-god.

The sound of the door opening rang out, and Maginus, sensing the return of everyone, opened her eyes. Among the crowd was a powerful life force she had never seen before. She got up, pushed open the door, and looked down from the second floor.

The green-haired male elf looked up at Maginus, who was dressed in clothes made of animal skins and coarse linen, giving him a "natural" air, and had a bunch of orchids tied at his waist.

He must be the druid from the Orchid Grove. Since the druid is here, that means...

"Ilsis, you're back!"

With an excited tone, Kshia said, "We'll depart for the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum in five days!"

Chapter 419 We can go back now.

"While you were away, Kexia received news of the return of the Orchid Cult, but worried it might be a trap, so she took all eighty-five members of her adventure team with her and went out together."

"The news is true, but we did encounter an ambush on the way. Fortunately, we had the upper hand and were able to wipe them out. Our team members only suffered minor injuries."

On the sofa beside the bed, equipment and underwear were carelessly tossed about. Her underwear was pressed tightly against Maginot's, their nipples touching, and her right hand stretched out her fingers, circling them repeatedly on her chest.

After learning about the adventure group's recent situation from the cat, Maginus, while kneading Neko's bottom with one hand, asked another question: "How many people do you think will go to the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum with her?"

Adventurers come in many forms: those simply trying to make a living, those hoping to be noticed by nobles, those yearning to become stronger, and those aspiring to become nobles themselves...

The trip to the Kingdom of Julan is destined to be dangerous, and the current members of the group may not be willing to take the risk of fighting with Kexia for power and profit.

"Well... first of all, the people who live in the same house as us will probably go. They were all handpicked by Kxia. Some are ambitious, some are simple-minded and very willing to go to great lengths for their friends."

"As for those who live in other places, it's uncertain; I'm not sure what they'll do."

Neko could wrap her tail around Maginos's thigh and move up and down. The fluffy tail was a little prickly and made Maginos feel a little itchy. Lying flat, she lowered her head to kiss the cat.

Staring intently into Neko's eyes, the cat, unable to bear the gaze of its owner for so long, instinctively looked away, rubbing its dry eyes vigorously. After a long silence, it asked:

"Master, are you confident that you will survive?"

"At least for now, the chances seem high. I've done everything I can, and I can even escape from a higher-level opponent... However, I'm not quite sure what the danger I'm facing is."

So far, everything is developing in a positive direction, and there have been no unexpected situations. The situation in Kexia and Julan is also stable and improving, and there is currently no possibility of a major upheaval.

Where did the danger come from? The newly arrived dark elves? The nobles of the Kingdom of Julan who had a grudge against them? Or perhaps...?

His identity would eventually be exposed due to some danger, which would lead to another attack by his enemies.

Maginus pondered that if another siege were to occur, she might truly lose her life.

"Don't think too much, I will do everything I can to survive."

Their foreheads touched, feeling each other's warmth. Neko gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep. Maginus looked at her sleeping face, his calm and unwavering eyes revealing a hint of emotion.

Over the course of five days, Keshia finally revealed her identity to everyone. When they learned that she was the princess of the Kingdom of Julan, everyone was shocked. Even though some had guessed that she was a fallen noble, they really did not expect that she was actually a princess.

Kshia candidly revealed her current situation, and it was learned that she was about to return to the Kingdom of Julan to participate in the succession. Many people hesitated because of this potentially dangerous but very rewarding opportunity.

People left one after another. Kshia was initially pessimistic, but to her surprise, after five days, there were still quite a few people left. Of the original eighty-five people, only thirty-two remained.

Excluding Maginus, Kxia, Brian, Neko, and oh, Ajak, these thirty-two adventurers are all skilled and quite confident in their abilities.

Today is the day of departure. After confirming that no one had any regrets, Kishia couldn't stop her tears, expressed her gratitude to everyone, and promised that everyone would become her confidants after she ascended to the throne.

The assembled convoy departed at noon, heading towards the Kingdom of Julan. With over thirty people, it was already considered a large convoy. News of Kexia's return was immediately relayed to the Kingdom of Julan at top speed.

"There may be many dangers ahead. When will the Orchid Cult arrive?"

Maginus asked casually, and the elven druid frowned slightly, looking at Maginus with some wariness.

He could smell the blood emanating from Maginot and realized that the girl was definitely not a kind person.

He glanced at his cousin Ksia and shook his head slightly: "The elders will set off in about ten days. After all, this matter concerns the Spider Queen, and we will not ignore it."

The majority of the members of the Orchid Cult are elves or half-elves, with only a very small number of humans. Upon learning that the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum Orchid had fallen into the web of the Spider Goddess's conspiracy, they immediately agreed to send reinforcements.

"Then we'll have to rely on ourselves on the road. Hopefully, we won't encounter any ridiculous ambushes."

Neko sat beside Maginus, wagging her tail, the elven druid displaying a very confident expression:

"With you and me, both mid-level professionals, we should be fine as long as the other side doesn't send seven or eight mid-level professionals."

The druids did not agree with Maginus's allegiance, but they acknowledged her strength. Powerful elves could tell from the dangerous aura that Maginus was a strong person.

"If there are really seven or eight mid-level cultivators, what will happen to the rest of the group?"

This stumped the druid; he rubbed his ears but couldn't come up with a solution.

“Cousin, don’t worry,” Kexia said, not afraid at all. “Julan Kingdom is not like the Kingdom of Music. Most of the middle-ranking people in the country hold important positions or have their own cities to protect. They won’t come out so easily.”

"The nobles can only send one or two high-ranking combatants at most, and with the help of the drow, it's only three or four. But we have to be careful of the army."

"If it's just the military, it's not a problem."

The druid waved his hand: "My plants can deal with and tie down armies."

After finishing their business, the carriage suddenly fell silent. The elven boy, with a quick glance, climbed out of the window and found Brian, who was driving the carriage, to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

The main topic of conversation, of course, was about his cousin. The druid wanted to know how things were progressing between the elf in front of him and his cousin.

Kercia then looked at Maginus and Neko, her mind full of questions, but remembering the girl's actions, she finally asked:

“Ma, Ilsis, you’ve been increasing your strength ever since, as if something is chasing you. Have you perhaps heard some prophecy?”

The half-elf princess was clever and guessed that Maginus was acting because of the impending danger foretold in the prophecy. However, the two of them were caught in the same predicament and did not know what kind of danger awaited them.

"We have a very high chance of winning this time, right?"

"That's what I thought too, but the prophecy told me that my crisis would arrive right on time."

Maginus made no attempt to hide anything and assured Kexia, "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for the Kingdom of Julan. The battlefield will simply be directed to the plains."

Chapter 420 We'll go steal the weapons then.

The journey from the land of music was not hindered by anything. The convoy easily entered the dividing zone, where the plains remained unchanged from before.

Knowing what Maginus had done on the plains, Kersia peered out to observe her surroundings. Finding nothing suspicious, she wondered what the girl had been up to on the plains.

After traveling across the plains for several days, just when the half-elf princess thought they could at least return to the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum safely without fighting, a battle still broke out.

A group of bandits rode across the plains, galloping straight toward the caravan, clearly having their eyes on them.

After being discovered, they sped up, and Kshia immediately notified everyone to prepare for battle. Several rangers in the group immediately drew their bows and aimed at the bandits who were still in the distance.

A volley of arrows eliminated some of the attackers, but when they got too close, he put away his longbow, switched to a scimitar, and charged forward with the warriors.

Led by Ajac, the bards began to play music, and after agreeing on the terms, they sang an uplifting ballad in unison.

These bandits were very tenacious, and when they were wiped out, the adventurers in the adventure party were also slightly injured.

“Something’s not right with the bandits. If they were really bandits, the group would have fallen apart long ago after seeing their leader and deputy leader dead.”

There may be some vicious individuals among the bandits, but most of them are cowardly and afraid of trouble. Once the numerical advantage of outnumbering the enemy is broken by force and the leader dies, these guys should scatter like birds and beasts.

But the bandits they encountered had no intention of escaping; instead, they charged forward fearlessly, hoping to cause more damage.

To put it bluntly, most armies couldn't do this, and Kshia was certain they weren't ordinary bandits, but rather a disguised army.

"The question is, why did they ambush you, hoping to capture you beforehand to threaten His Majesty the King?"

"...has the ability to flirt with multiple people and expose the scars of six neighbors."

About twelve days ago, news came from the Kingdom of Julan that King Haianlisa's body had returned to its pre-treatment state, but he did not fall asleep again and was handling official business while still breathing.

Since Maginus left, he has ruthlessly cleansed up the capital, eliminating one noble after another, all with justification.

The nobles in the capital were all on edge, as they were the most likely to want to capture Kshia and do something to him.

And those nobles who own territories, they're all hyenas too, they'll pounce on you as soon as they smell you, they might want to trade Kshia for more benefits.

There's only one now, but who knows how many we'll encounter later.

"Tsk, our group might not be enough..."

Keshia peered over at the group who had set up camp and were resting, feeling somewhat worried.

They were all skilled, but their equipment was inadequate. Even though Kshia had earned some money during her time with the adventure team, she spent more than she earned. Now, she was asking everyone to go to the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum with her, but she didn't have any cash on hand at all; it was all just empty promises.

"Let them use these equipment."

Maginus recalled the special weapon she had recovered from the previous world, an automatic firearm called a submachine gun. It was indeed very effective against low-level opponents who lacked strength, killing them quickly enough, and could be mastered with just a little practice.

She also had some high-quality non-magical armor in one of her dimensional bags that she couldn't sell, so it was piling up and could now come in handy.

Maginus is practically a hoarder, except her dimensional bag isn't filled with valuable items, but rather with unsellable "junk."

These scraps can be given to the soldiers to wear, so at least they can still put some use to them.

He took out a dimensional bag and poured out all sorts of armor and weapons. The members immediately gathered around excitedly. When they learned from Kxia that these were for them, they cheered loudly.

Ordinary adventurers live in far more poverty than Maginus, at most in conditions similar to those she had shortly after leaving Nesery.

After distributing the armor and weapons, Maginus jumped off the carriage, handed out the powerful musket to the others, and began to teach them how to use this new type of musket.

Da da da da da…

Gunfire erupted across the plains, giving the team members a clear understanding of the musket's lethality. They handled it with obvious delight, while also being careful not to point the guns at friendly forces.

A musket with its safety released is a crossbow loaded with arrows. It's common sense not to aim the crossbow at your teammates, something they, seasoned veterans, naturally understand very well.

This weapon is great in every way, except it becomes obsolete too quickly.

Gently tossing a pistol aside, Maginus stroked the rust on the gun in silence.

Ordinary metals in a weak magical state will rust faster if placed in a strong magical area. For example, this pistol, the girl left it outside for only half a month, and it has already become covered in rust.

She had considered building a military factory after becoming king and using all the metal to make firearms, but the requirements for forming a manufacturing chain were too many, so it would be better to use the metal to make armor.

Sufficient metal, mature metal smelting technology, assembly lines capable of precision machining parts, and assembly lines for assembling firearms...

Mass production of weapons requires a complete process, which Maginus cannot replicate. It would be more reliable to train mages and warriors in large numbers rather than spending time on that.

While it's true that mages can handle the weapon-making process, the problem is that if they can master this technology, why not improve their magical abilities? A protective arrow can block most of the damage.

Therefore, the plan was quickly rejected as soon as Maginus had the idea.

In short, it's temporarily useless because we don't have the money, can't do it, or have any use for it. But once we recruit enough spellcasters and acquire more metal mines, we can arm a large army by relying on the characteristics of firearms.

Combining magic and firearms is one approach, but for Maginus, it's still a long way off.

The fastest way would actually be for Maginus to travel to other worlds and steal a large number of weapons.

This is indeed a good idea; I might try it if I have the chance in the future.

The weapons they were given were put to use quickly. The next day, just as everyone was waking up, the Night Watchmen sounded an alarm to wake everyone in Jiujiu, as another bandit began to approach.

"Remember to capture them alive!"

"Yes, leader!"

Kishiz Erlingpa San R1 Jiuya shouted, and the members of the group, now equipped with new gear, were full of confidence. After all, they had tested the combat power of rifles, and the sheer number of people in the human wave tactic was insufficient against the power of firearms, making it no longer very useful for the adventure group.

Raising their rifles and aiming at the approaching "bandits," they all opted for burst fire mode to avoid wasting bullets due to limited ammunition.

They were strong and held their guns very steadily, with almost no wavering when firing. Although they had practiced the night before, the first few bullets still missed the enemy.

However, as the bandits closed in and the adventurers became more proficient with firearms, the outcome was gradually changing.

Da...da da...da da...da...

Gunshots rang out continuously, and streaks of blood suddenly appeared on the enemies' bodies. Some didn't even know how they died. A few spellcasters among the bandits noticed something amiss, their pupils contracted, and they decisively released protective arrows.

The bullets veered off course just before hitting them, failing to strike the spellcasters who were protected by magic, and they took the opportunity to turn and run away.
