The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

"Hmph, impressive, Lord Noah, you even managed to swallow up the relief funds issued by Dovley."

Getting straight to business, Noah's hands trembled slightly as he suppressed his inner turmoil and maintained his composure, while simultaneously explaining to himself that he was prepared to abandon his chief financial officer:

“Madam Envoy, you must be mistaken. I have never touched the relief funds. They are all controlled by the treasurer. Why don’t we have a meal first…”

"Stop talking nonsense, the evidence is right here, are you still trying to deny it?"

The black-robed messenger tossed out some papers, which flew everywhere. After reading this irrefutable evidence, Noah calmed down, roaring with anger in his heart, wanting to kill all the informants, but he didn't know who they were.

Knowing that the matter could no longer be concealed, he asked the menacing envoy, "What punishment has His Majesty imposed?"

"Reclaim the territory and noble status, and confiscate all assets."

This is to kill him.

Having inherited the territory from his father, Noako had never experienced hardship. He stood up abruptly from his chair and waved his hand, "Surround her!"

Soldiers emerged from all sides and surrounded the envoy. Heads beneath black robes turned from side to side, and the sound of tongues licking lips could be heard: "What, you want to kill me?"

"Hmph, since His Majesty is not giving me a way out, what's the point of saying anything more?"

The lord's face was contorted with rage, as if everything was due to Maginos's doing. Upon hearing this, the messenger reached up and pressed his cheek, unable to suppress a laugh.

"I knew the master shouldn't be so merciful. He should kill a few lords or nobles at regular intervals to liven things up and keep you all in line."

"Aren't you afraid I'll bring a small detachment and lie in ambush nearby?"

“Ha,” Noah said, pleased with his foresight. “I had my army waiting outside the city long ago. It will take your men time to storm the castle, and that time will be enough for my army to turn around and surround you.”

"Quite clever, what a pity..."

The messenger grabbed the ropes of the robe and opened it, revealing the armor underneath that radiated magical light. He removed the hood, letting the robe fall to the ground. Noah's pupils dilated, and his confidence turned into fear.

"Go! Kill her!"

Noah shouted and ran towards the garden. The few officials and nobles present also got up and fled, clearly recognizing the envoy.

And who wouldn't recognize her? Cat ears, cat tail, heterochromatic eyes, and the lightning bolt mark in her hair are so iconic; it's instantly recognizable that she's Maginus's pet.

Lei Bao Neke.

As a high-ranking cat, Neko also has its own title, but it's quite strange that it's called a leopard when it's clearly a cat.

With her arms outstretched and waist extended, Miss Cat drew the curved sword from her waist, gently flicked her tail, and the dagger, still sheathed, automatically shot out of its scabbard, spinning in the air and settling at the tip of her tail.

Faced with the guards who attacked her without recognizing her, Neko didn't linger. With a flash of lightning in her eyes, she appeared behind everyone in an instant, tossing aside her blood-stained scimitar, and disappeared from the hall in the next second, heading straight for the lord.

The guards stood motionless until wounds appeared on their necks, blood spurted out, and they all collapsed.

"Baron xxx, you are suspected of bullying young boys and girls, resulting in the deaths of more than forty children. You are hereby sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately."

Inside the mansion, a young woman in a long robe drew her straight sword and aimed it at the baron who had fallen to the ground. The obese baroness, while scrambling backward, shouted:

“What you are doing is illegal! I only killed slaves, it’s nothing.”

"Illegal?"

The girl paused for a moment, then reached into her pocket with her left hand, took out the badge, and put it on. The badge depicted a slender hand with its five fingers spread out, palm down. All that could be seen were cracks, like a cracked hand or a hand with blood constantly flowing down. Blood was dripping from the middle finger at the bottom.

"We are the Queen's shadow, we are the Queen's limbs, we are the Queen's will."

The girl raised her weapon, her eyes burning with fervor and faith: "The Queen is the law, and we are the law."

With a straight slash, the baron was torn in two in agony.

After dealing with the Baroness, and glancing at the slain guards around her, the girl casually swung her sword, severing the chains and ropes binding the remaining survivors, letting them escape. She then leaped out of the window, searching for her next target.

Similar scenes were unfolding throughout the town's noble districts, not just by a small number of Shadow Ravens, but also by the Church of the Three Gods, who stormed into the homes of evil nobles with a contract signed by Maginus.

Chapter 627 Open the Door! The Church of the Three Gods!

"Open the door, Church of the Three Gods!"

The paladin kicked open the tightly closed door and led the church warriors into the mansion. The nobles' private soldiers were so frightened that they took a few steps back, not daring to attack the paladin.

This native paladin had never been so excited. Previously, the church had no law enforcement power and could do nothing about these nobles who oppressed the people without any evidence.

Now things are better; whatever the reason, the new emperor truly cares for his people.

The nobleman arrived late, still in his pajamas. Seeing the paladins bursting into the mansion, a look of terror flashed in his eyes. He roared, his voice trembling with fear, "What are you doing? Is the Church planning to conquer Nesery?!"

The paladin proudly raised the parchment in his hand: "By Her Majesty the Queen, effective today, the Church of the Three Gods is granted law enforcement powers, possessing the same status as the city guard. As long as there is solid evidence, they may arrest evil nobles!"

"You are suspected of embezzling a huge sum of relief funds. Your Majesty the Queen's messenger, we are hereby ordered to arrest and detain you to await your judgment!"

The powerful shout was deafening. The nobleman's legs went weak. He realized that something was wrong, but he still tried to struggle in his death throes, shouting for his guards and paladins to fight.

These private soldiers dared not fight the church's warriors, or rather, the church's own people, but government officials. They could only offer token resistance, and their formation quickly collapsed.

Having captured the nobleman, the church warriors, at the paladin's signal, stormed into the various rooms without taking anything. However, not long after, someone came out in extreme anger and punched the captured nobleman in the face right in front of the paladin.

"What's wrong? Let's get down to business."

Seeing that he was still going to fight, the leader quickly grabbed the warrior's hand and asked him why. The warrior whispered a few words in his ear, and the paladin's expression changed slightly. He kicked the nobleman on the ground and called several female warriors and priestesses into a room.

Three or four small children, both boys and girls, were brought out. They were dressed in clothes, their long hair covering their faces. Their eyes were filled with fear and resentment as they looked at the nobles. The paladin's face was gloomy, and his gaze fell on the guards, a murderous intent rising in his heart.

Breathing, breathing...

His gaze swept over the kneeling nobleman at his feet. He had been wondering whether to hand the man over to the envoy for processing, but now it seemed he could perfectly exercise the power he had previously acquired.

Maginus has given away a lot of power this time, giving the Church the authority to act first and ask questions later during this chaotic period.

"Nobleman [name], according to Article 25 of the Kingdom's Law..."

The paladin read aloud the latest articles from the laws that Maginus had been revising in recent years, raising his longsword: "Your crimes are enough to warrant your death. Go to hell!"

"No, I have rendered service to the Noah territory, I want to see the lord!"

The nobles cried out in terror, but the paladin scoffed, "Your lord is in dire straits; go see him in hell."

With a clean and swift stroke, the lord was beheaded. The paladin signaled the priests to take the child away first, and then proceed to the next noble's house based on the evidence and the list they had obtained.

Fortunately, Maginus's side didn't have enough people. Most of the operation was carried out by the Church of the Three Gods and the local city guard. No bloodshed broke out in the noble district. The leading nobles were killed, and the rest, even those who leaned towards the evil side, were spared for the time being.

They have the ability to detect factions. As long as they are not confused by the devil's magic, it is clear who is evil and who is good. The evil ones are tied up and locked in the city garrison or the dungeon in the castle, while the good ones are left untouched.

The castle was quickly taken over by Neko, probably four or five minutes after she met Lord Noah. She found and killed Noah in the garden, and then spread her electric current and psionic energy to observe any living creatures.

Having found Noah's wife, Neco leaped onto the windowsill and met the gaze of the lord's wife, who was peeping at him. He had no intention of killing her and informed her of his next task:

"Madam, given your discord with the lord, we assume you won't avenge him, right?"

“Yes,” the lady of the house nodded hurriedly, she didn’t want to die, “If you investigate, you’ll find out that he and I each have our own affairs, and I have four other lovers.”

“Very well. Now, Nesery needs you to continue as the lord’s wife to maintain the stability of Noah’s territory for the time being, until an official takes over the territory or a nobleman becomes the new lord. Only then can you go to your father.”

"No problem, but what if I know nothing about politics?"

Seeing that Nei Ke had no intention of killing her and that she could still return to her father's territory, the lord's wife breathed a sigh of relief and asked what she should do.

"Don't worry, the church will assist you. Before Nesser takes over the territory, you can use your husband's funds and property, but please note that you can waste them within limits, but you cannot embezzle or take them away."

After giving the lord's wife a few words of advice, Neike looked out of the city, turned around and leaned down, flying out of the window. His legs lightly touched the rooftops he passed, leaving electric footprints, and he appeared on the city wall.

Outside the city walls, Noah's army was already in place. Neko adjusted the bell on his collar, switched to the illusionary sound spell and activated it, then stood on the city wall, holding Noah's head and shouting:

"I am an envoy of Prince Imperius. Noah has been executed. Commander, immediately lead your troops back to their original positions, or you will be dealt with for treason!"

The domineering statement made the general, who originally intended to enter the city to provide aid, stop, slightly hesitant to act rashly. And the head in her hand was indeed Noah's. Seeing his lord, who had shown him kindness, reduced to this state, the general was overcome with grief and impulsively shouted to Neko, who was draped in a black robe:

"She's not holding the lord! Everyone, follow me and charge into the city to rescue the lord! There will be a great reward!"

The reason for rushing in was not to save people, but simply because the general wanted to avenge Noah. As for what to do afterward, the natural course of action was to escape from Nesery and go to another country, where other countries would certainly welcome his team that had escaped from Nesery.

Confirming that the army was indeed planning a rebellion, the officer, who was luring the enemy into a trap, took off his clothes. His curved blades clashed, and the dagger landed on the tip of his tail again. Dazzling electric light wrapped around his entire body, and lightning patterns appeared on his hair and skin.

He leaped down from the air, looked at the charging army with disdain: "You don't even have many spellcasters, and you still want to fight me?"

Leaning forward and crouching low, one can leap out and instantly charge into the enemy ranks, dancing and leaping among weapons. The scimitar and the dagger on the tail continuously pierce through armor, killing anyone who gets close with a single blow.

A strong electric current flashed by, but no one noticed that the amount of electrical elements in the air was gradually increasing.

Chapter 628 Fighting the Army

Attacking with only dual swords was too slow. Soldiers kept closing in from a distance. He was terrified of Neko's ability to kill like mowing grass, but he still managed to get closer with the push and shoving of the people behind him.

Sensing that they seemed to be trying to wear him down, and indeed exhausted from hacking and slashing, Neko opened her dimensional bag, taunting them with a disdainful smile, and dodging the warrior's blade, the archer's arrow, and the mage's magic with small, quick steps.

She pulled out the darts that Rachel had prepared for her from her dimensional bag. It could throw three darts at once, which would spin in the air, pierce through the armor and throat, and then fly out from the other side.

Some soldiers raised their swords to try and stop the slowing darts, but to their surprise, the darts flashed with a faint electric current, suddenly accelerated again in mid-air, killed three soldiers, and returned to Neko's side, spinning at high speed.

He wields his curved blade, unleashing a massacre upon the crowd. His pupils turn into vertical slits, revealing sharp fangs in his mouth. His body is covered in blood as he enters a state of heightened excitement from the killing.

There were still many people, seemingly endless, and he could sense the electrical energy permeating the air, intentionally controlling it to continue accumulating.

After dancing on the edge of the knife for nearly ten minutes, the ground around him was covered with corpses, some even piled up into small mounds. As a high-level professional, Neke finally showed signs of fatigue.

"Go on!"

The general seized upon this slight sign of fatigue, and excitedly shouted, urging the soldiers to continue their charge: "She's exhausted! Keep going!"

He didn't realize that the soldiers' fear had run deep. Faced with the Catwoman, whom they didn't know when she could be killed and who had killed so many of their brothers, she was like a demon in their eyes.

Now, with just a little help, the entire army will completely fall apart.

"Hmph, that's about enough, meow."

The dart spun rapidly, causing the surrounding soldiers to retreat. She could shake off the blood from her scimitar, and a burst of lightning disinfected it. She licked the scalding blade and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

Raising her twin swords high above her head, Catwoman weaved through dangerous areas to gather energy, her eyes gleaming with purple light, and the snow-white blades beginning to glow with blue light.

Psionic: Electric Current Infusion

One cut, one cut, one cut...

The scimitar sliced ​​through the air, leaving behind crystal-clear electrical traces, as if it were weaving a large net.

Overload: Increased intensity. Overload: High-energy increase.

The blue light on the blade deepened, turning purple. Lightning flashed, leaving scorch marks on the ground. Warriors would experience muscle paralysis and skin burns simply by getting close.

As the curved sword in her hand turned completely purple, the cat suddenly knelt down on one knee amidst the attacks of the crowd, slamming her twin swords into the ground.

Endless electric currents spread out, and the ground showed signs of scorching. All enemies within a radius of two hundred meters were stunned at this moment. The next second, lightning shot out from her as the center and broke through the sky, which could be seen even by people in the town!

Overload: Increased range. Overload: Chain Lightning!

The electric current surged outwards like thousands of giant pythons, and the giant net woven by lightning covered most of the army. Even the clamoring general was enveloped in it, his body convulsing violently, his muscles cramping so badly that he couldn't even take a step to escape.

Boom! Boom!

Black smoke rose in all directions. As the deafening thunder and lightning subsided and the strong wind blew away the smoke, only armor and charred corpses remained within a 200-meter radius. Only the general who had given the order was still alive, his body convulsing, his life hanging by a thread.

Silence fell over the battlefield. When Neko's vertical pupils fell on the surviving soldiers, they finally reacted, screaming in fear as they fled.

"Run! Run faster!!"

The army scattered like birds and beasts. Nei Ke lightly touched the curved blade and had no intention of pursuing them. He exhaled stale air and walked into the city.

Similar things happened in various territories across the country, and the impending wave of corruption was immediately suppressed. Maginus remained calm as if he had done nothing wrong.

Starting with the relief fund incident, Doflamingo gradually seized more power, which became increasingly concentrated in the capital. The owners of some territories were replaced by officials, and the laws were replaced with those of the capital, no longer formulated by the lords.

This process was slow, and no one even noticed Maginus's actions, or even if they did, they dared not say anything, thinking that His Majesty did not intend to forcibly centralize power.

And that was exactly what happened. Maginos was waiting for them to make a mistake, because once they did, she would have an excuse to take back the territory, and power would return to her hands on its own.

"Master, I did a good job, didn't I? Meow~~, meow~~!"

Neko nestled in Maginos's arms, rubbing against her and wrapping her tail around her thigh. Maginos was generous with her reward, using both hands to make her pet comfortable.

"Very good, very good. As expected of my pet, it's really great."

"Hehe, hehehe..."

The cat smiled and enjoyed it, while Maginus's moving fingers suddenly stopped for a moment, then continued.

There's new information from Tireni's side.

Shifting the focus to Tirenie, the people on the magic platform were somewhat flustered because the sealed Fuelson in front of them had suddenly become active, with magma churning around them and magical fluctuations threatening to destroy the magic platform.

"Make all necessary protective measures in place, otherwise the platform may collapse."

"Can you continue reinforcing it? Reinforce it quickly!"
