The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

The new change caused everyone to instinctively step back. The graceful, blood-red humanoid raised its arm, its three features, unable to coalesce into a concrete shape, facing the Allied Forces, and stood there motionless.

The officers of the Shelter Territory's expressions changed slightly. Judging from the figure, the blood-red humanoid looked somewhat familiar—it was none other than their Queen.

Before the crimson humanoid could make a move, mid-level warriors from the allied forces charged forward with their greatswords, intending to eliminate it before it could act.

To his surprise, the surging killing intent prematurely triggered the blood-red humanoid's battle state. Its right hand swung backward, and its life force exploded, transforming into a solid giant sword that it held in its hand.

boom!

The two giant swords collided, and a terrifying shockwave spread out, causing the surrounding soldiers to feel their hearts stop and their blood to freeze.

This isn't just a description; it really happened!

The malevolent life force, accompanied by psionic energy, launched a wide-range attack indiscriminately, affecting both friend and foe. Only those infused with Maginus's life force could ignore it; the rest suffered negative effects.

Accompanying physical discomfort are dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, weakness in the limbs, and even nosebleeds in people with weaker constitutions.

"uh-huh!"

After a brief stalemate, the warrior was sent flying. Maginus's crimson puppet bent slightly, leaving a trail of crimson light behind it, and caught up with the forced-back warrior to strike again.

At the same time, an arrow shot toward the face of the crimson puppet. The remaining mid-level warriors realized the danger of this thing and all sprang into action, trying to annihilate the crimson puppet.

The Blood Puppet's first practical experience went quite well.

Maginus observed the situation on the battlefield and nodded slightly. This thing was a special product degraded from the clone she created based on the simulation technique and the Blood Lake battlefield. It was a consumable magical item.

It is difficult to use. Officers and soldiers go to the battlefield with a lot of life force, and then a lot of casualties are needed to provide life force. When the battle reaches a certain intensity and Maginus' liquid life force has consumed enough corpses, the officer can throw out the core.

Currently, it doesn't possess much intelligence. It can be said that it only has a certain degree of self-motivation due to the malicious psionic energy injected into it by Maginus. It only knows how to kill, and it's difficult for it to stop.

If this thing isn't stopped, it will really go and kill all living things that haven't been marked by Maginus.

To stop it, either it must be destroyed, or several officers in the army must combine the reverse life force given to them by Maginus and break it apart.

It was a great battle, or rather, a great battle. The blood puppets, which were difficult to kill, managed to drag down three mid-level beings without a caster, a feat comparable to that of the mid-level Maginus.

It's as difficult to handle as a slime; even if its body is split in two, it will reassemble. Even if it's scattered, it will reform as long as its core is intact.

The three of them naturally intended to target the core, but the core was constantly moving inside the blood puppet and was only the size of a thumbnail, making it extremely difficult to lock onto.

The giant sword was raised high and smashed the heads of the warriors who had fought to the death. The blood puppet raised its head and pointed its indifferent face at the remaining soldiers of the allied army. The terrified soldiers had already run away.

Just as it was about to strike, the remaining Allied officers decisively raised the white flag and surrendered loudly to avoid being put to death.

"Wait, we surrender, please don't kill us!"

Several officers from the Shelter Territory had already gathered together. Upon hearing that they had chosen to surrender, they immediately pieced together the fragments in their hands, tied the blood-red arrowheads to the arrows, and shot them at the charging Blood Puppet.

The crimson arrow in flight attracted the blood puppet's attention. It stopped and grabbed the arrow. As the arrow collided with its palm, the blood puppet's structure completely collapsed, turning into life force that dissipated into the air.

Maginus raised her hand to absorb the life force, nodded to Museriak, and then strode away.

Looking at the battlefield, the legendary mage couldn't help but shake his head: "Magnus Imperius has risen to prominence, but I wonder if it can continue. When the saint descends, things will be different again."

Having dealt with the coalition forces sent by other countries, Maginus also confirmed through the quality of the army that these guys probably wouldn't dare to send too many troops again, since people value their lives.

But if I don't fight back, wouldn't it seem too frustrating? I'll have to find an opportunity to cause a ruckus in some country later.

Maginos, feeling itchy to cause trouble in enemy territory, unfortunately needed to protect the country for the time being.

The fact that everything is fine now is entirely due to Maginot's presence. When she leaves and returns, she might only be left with ruins.

Back in the castle, Maginus took a bath, lay comfortably on the bed, held Neko in her arms and stroked her back, closed her eyes and went to the spiritual library to organize the information that would be sent to the young believers later.

They need room to grow, and in addition to time, they also need knowledge. If they learn step by step, it will take a long time to absorb knowledge.

Fortunately, Maginus can use psychic energy to directly transmit knowledge, and combined with the power of faith, it can effectively help relieve their headaches, achieving a "wake-up call" effect.

As for their respective positions and careers, she had already planned them out completely.

Melu is a pure priestess who will act as an archbishop in the future. Mia is a shadow dancer who will initially be responsible for assassinations, but can retire and become the head instructor once there are enough people.

As for Mira, she is also a Shadow Dancer and can work with the butler. She can take over when the old butler retires and train more maids, but her strength cannot be neglected.

Chapter 496 Blood of Temper

"Your Majesty, the group of people from the allied forces have been taken to the Windward Territory. What do you think should be done with them?"

A few days later, the sergeant in charge of fighting the Allied forces returned with his troops and prisoners, and is now reporting to Maginus.

Without much hesitation, she waved for the officer to proceed using the same method as before.

"As before, scatter them and send them to other armies. What do you young men think about the 'violent blood'?"

The officer was filled with excitement, instinctively rubbing his palms together: "Very good, they all hope to use this multi-functional life-saving drug again."

Maginus's liquid life force is named "Violent Blood," and its primary purpose is to preserve life; any additional effects are merely supplementary.

Hearing the officer's answer, she raised her head with interest: "What, nobody's scared? Aren't you afraid of being eaten after the injection, or having your personality permanently changed?"

"No, your medicine can save lives, so naturally they want a dose."

The soldiers weren't afraid; on the contrary, they were very enthusiastic about the Berserker Blood mainly because the Berserker Blood had such good effects.

Those who were infused with Maginus's life force at the moment of their death not only survived but also suffered no mental aftereffects; in fact, their strength increased to a higher level.

The benefits it brought completely outweighed the potential drawbacks, and the other soldiers became envious, while regretting why they hadn't used it.

"Hmph, wait until next time. There will be plenty of opportunities. By the way, make a record of the soldiers who were given the drug and write a list to give to Joseph."

"Yes."

The officer withdrew, and Maginus began to review the intelligence. As she pondered, she habitually raised her hand and tapped the table, a surge of anger rising within her.

The newly conquered territory was devastated by the lord and his soldiers, who burned the farmland to the ground and caused great damage to the few villages and towns that were built.

"Damn it, all of this is my property!"

As she examined the intelligence more closely, she suddenly laughed, a strangely sinister laugh.

Maginus saw a report that local nobles had also participated in the looting and thought that she would not punish them after they surrendered.

Am I being too lenient with them?

Having confirmed the truth of the matter with evidence, Maginus immediately summoned Joseph and pointed to the location of this territory on the map:

"Joseph, have all the nobles who participated in the looting killed, distribute all the looted grain, and let them handle the money themselves."

"Yes!"

Joseph and his soldiers were more than willing to kill nobles from other territories, and the loot they plundered was substantial.

Their queen isn't particularly interested in money right now, so they'd better seize this opportunity to make a fortune, because it will be much harder once the country has fully developed.

"Oh, and remember to tell everyone."

Maginus called out to Joseph, her eyes filled with terror: "Everything in the kingdom belongs to me. Anyone who dares to burn or smash things will die."

While dealing with tedious official business, Maginus sat at her desk reminiscing about the days when she was ruthless and bloodthirsty. A familiar life force entered her senses, making her excitedly get up.

The group of little ones I was waiting for finally arrived safely at Shelter.

"Wind Shelter City is just ahead, I can see it!"

Thousands of meters away, Mila looked at the crater and shouted excitedly. The girls, who were exhausted both mentally and physically, looked up excitedly, and their legs surged with strength to support them to move forward again.

For children whose average age is less than fifteen, this can truly be considered an ordeal. The long journey is fraught with danger, and they are now basically the weakest low-level professionals.

Maginos offered a lot of help, and more importantly, they supported each other through this journey.

They were like pilgrims, arriving step by step in the Windward Territory in search of miracles and their gods.

Arriving at the city gate and gazing at the unfamiliar city, Mia, as the leader, was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.

She knew, of course, where Magnis was—it was the largest castle—but how to get in and meet this woman who was both queen and goddess…

Do you see the magnificent castle? Keep going forward, no one will stop you.

A gentle yet authoritative voice rang in everyone's ears. Mia subconsciously looked up, and out of habit, she always felt that Maginus was looking at them from the air.

"Let's go."

Recalling the hardships they had endured, Mia took her sister's hand and walked towards the castle with the other children who were like sisters to her.

The girls' figures were quite eye-catching, but the security in Shelter Territory was much better than before, or rather, it was strictly managed, and no one came up to ask them anything.

Arriving unimpeded in front of the castle, the girls, wagging their tails, noticed their eyes light up, raised their hands, waved vigorously, and smiled, gesturing for them to come over.

"Hello, my lord."

Mia stepped forward nervously. Neko darted in front of her, curiously circling the girls and flashing a friendly smile.

"Please come in first, Master. Our common master has been waiting for a long time. By the way, my name is Neko."

Reciting the lines given by Maginot, Neko led the weary girls into the castle, but instead of heading to the study, she led them to a small chapel that had only recently been built.

"Lord Neko, are we really going to see the Goddess like this?"

Mira tugged at her dusty clothes, a little embarrassed, and reached out to ruffle the girl's hair.

"Don't worry, your master has also been through such a period. Don't be ashamed of it, just treat it with a normal attitude."

Pushing open the door to enter the church, it was empty. Nei Ke explained, "This is just a temporary church. The real church will be built in the palace once the master has completely reclaimed the kingdom."

Ritualistic practices were essential for Maginus, and elaborate ceremonies in Connoir could truly bring about special effects.

At the very center of the chapel stands a statue of the goddess of death. Sunlight streams through the glass, casting shadows on the statue's face beneath its hood, adding to its mystique. The ambiguous smile on its face evokes different feelings in different people.

Crimson liquid seeped from the statue's arms, eventually dripping from its fingertips into the perpetually empty pool of blood below, thus perpetuating the cycle.

"You are here."

In front of the statue, a woman in a scarlet dress with long, flowing hair stood with her back to the crowd, speaking in a voice they recognized.

The girls got excited, and the eldest Mia was the first to react. She pulled Mila down to her knees, and the other children followed suit.

Chapter 497 One After Another

Organizing her thoughts, Mia lowered her head and began:

“My lord, in accordance with your divine decree, we have successfully arrived here from our respective cities.”

“Well done, you have proven your faith. Now stand up, lift your heads and look me straight in the eye, my lovely believers, my dear children.”

Maginus turned around and looked at the disheveled girls, feeling pity and tenderness rising in his heart. He stepped down from the pulpit and came to the crowd.

With permission granted, Mia stood up and slowly looked up at the long legs. Her first thought was that the god was so tall and so big.

Her gaze shifted upwards, and a stunningly beautiful face captivated her. She instinctively met the goddess's eyes, and the blinding golden light in her pupils stung Mia's eyes.

Warm hands pressed against Mia's stinging eyes, and Maginus bent down to leave a kiss on her forehead. She hugged the oldest and most hardworking girl in the group tightly, gently encouraging her:

"Mia, you did a really good job protecting so many children."

This is what I should do.

Mia had intended to respond in this way, as she had always believed in her goddess with a transactional mindset.

But when she was held in K's arms, the warmth she had felt when she was dying in Mirror City made her feel so immersed in it that she didn't speak for a long time.

When Maginus released her, Mia was still recovering for a long time. Nekko pressed her down in a chair, stroked his chin, and watched Mia's expression, muttering to himself whether Maginus's embrace was really that comfortable.

"Mira..."

“Melu…”

Calling out the names of the believers one by one, Maginus embraced them tightly to convey his emotions, and only let go after embracing them all.

"I am also a new god. You are my first and future most loyal believers. Go and rest well. In the next period of time, what you need to do is study and strive to become my most powerful helpers."

"Yes, we will try our best!"

The girls nodded vigorously, and Maginus felt a sense of satisfaction as she sensed their longing, reverence, and love. She winked at Neko and told her to take the children away.

"Let's go, take a shower first, then get a good night's sleep."

Neke led the way, with the girls following behind him. Once inside the castle, the servants, who had already been informed, immediately busied themselves.

After taking off their dirty clothes, they exclaimed in amazement at the spacious bathtub. After washing themselves by the tub, they soaked in the warm water.

"Sister, what will our future hold?"

The warm pool water made Mira drowsy. She leaned on Mia's shoulder and murmured with a smile.

Mia yawned, rubbing her hair, which was the same color as her own.
