Although Mystogan wanted to say that these people were just a bunch of swindling bandits, their well-trained and disciplined manner clearly indicated that they were a regular army, which was puzzling.

Fortunately, Eleven and his companions weren't foolish enough to stand there discussing where the other came from. Seeing that the soldiers were about to form an encirclement, Eleven turned around, picked up Mira again, and ran.

Gildarts, Erza, Mystogan, and the others around him reacted quickly and followed without hesitation. Even Laxus didn't cause any trouble. He only dared to challenge everyone when he was strong enough. If he knew at a glance that he couldn't win, he would run away faster than anyone else.

Only a simpleton like Natsu would think of rushing up and fighting the other party, but he became much more obedient after receiving Erza's loving Iron Fist.

Eleven and his group came to rescue Lisanna, not to court death. There's no need for them to engage in a direct confrontation with the military right away. Although the enemy consists of only a few dozen ordinary people, and they might not be unable to defeat them, it's best to avoid unnecessary complications.

"Stop! Otherworlders, we didn't mean to hurt you, but don't be stubborn, or we'll really have to open fire!" the captain shouted again into the megaphone.

"An alien from another world!!"

Eleven glanced back in surprise, not expecting his identity to be discovered so soon after his transmigration. Was the existence of Earth-land a common occurrence in this world?

Judging from the speed at which these soldiers appeared, their purpose in stationing themselves here seems to be to guard the exit of Anima.

Why guard the exit? Isn't everything Anima inhales converted into magic crystals and sent directly to the capital? Were there other time travelers like us before?

Is it possible that Lisanna might also...?

Eleven's thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at the soldiers chasing after him.

Erza, who had been following Eleven around, was caught off guard and nearly bumped into Eleven chest. Luckily, Eleven was holding Mira in his arms, and the impact was absorbed by the soft Mira!

Eleven casually handed the dazed Mira to Erza and strode towards the soldiers.

"Eleven, what are you doing?" Everyone was taken aback by Eleven's actions and couldn't help but ask.

"I have some questions to ask them. You guys run first, don't worry about me. I still have some fighting power here."

Without turning around, Eleven used his Telekinesis to slowly lift himself off the ground and fly towards the soldiers' encirclement.

His companions behind him were stunned. They all tried to gather their magic, but nothing happened. They all looked at Mystogan with puzzled eyes.

What happened to the rule that no one could use magic? Why is Eleven getting a power-up?

Not only the fairies, but even the king's soldiers were startled. They were chasing each other just fine when suddenly a light, shadowy figure floated out of the darkness of the night, which would make anyone uneasy.

Eleven looked down at the soldiers, his expression serious, pondering what opening remarks to make. The bright moonlight shone on his face, highlighting the eerie light flickering in his eyes, making him appear even more sinister.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

However, before Eleven could think of what to say, the team leader standing at the front exclaimed in surprise. He stared at Eleven's face with eyes full of awe and disbelief. When Eleven looked at him, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Eleven's gaze.

Eleven:(_)

Your Majesty? Me? Am I some important figure in this world? Am I the king?

Wait a minute! Mystogan said he was a prince, could he be my son?

Why has this unfilial son never called me "Dad"?

An Electric Light idea flashed through his mind. Seeing the restless state of the kingdom's soldiers, Eleven smiled slightly, unleashing his Spiritual Power. A palpable Mental Pressure descended, and with a light cough, he commanded, "Kneel!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the kingdom's soldiers knelt down en masse, feeling the oppressive force emanating from their very souls. Cold sweat poured down their faces, and they dared not entertain the slightest thought of disrespect.

Although Eleven cannot use magic yet, the strength of his Spiritual Power is beyond the reach of these ordinary soldiers. In addition, his resemblance to His Majesty the King makes it easy for the soldiers to submit.

Eleven's Mental Pressure lasted for a full half minute, only stopping when the soldiers were about to give up. He glanced around with satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to the soldier captain who liked to shout through a megaphone.

"How long have you been stationed here?" Eleven asked, without explaining his identity or making up a story—there was no need.

"Your Majesty, our 17th squad has been stationed here for eight months and 21 days," the squad leader replied respectfully.

Have you ever encountered anyone who traveled from another world?

The squad leader glanced up at Eleven, then at the direction the Fairy Tail crew had fled in, and finally shook his head. "This was the only time the alarm was triggered, and I never expected it to be Your Majesty..."

Eleven frowned and asked again, "You said you're from the 17th Squad, so do you know anything about the other squads? Have any of the other squads guarding the passage captured anyone from another world?"

Eleven knew that his questioning would definitely give him away; it was just too suspicious. But he was desperate to save his sister, so he couldn't care less. He hadn't planned to keep pretending to be the king anyway, so let him be suspicious if he wanted to!

The squad leader kneeling on the ground below was soaked in sweat. He wasn't stupid; he had long suspected that the person in the sky wasn't His Majesty the King at all, but was probably from another world. However, he had no proof.

After all, the same face, the same voice, and that imposing aura of authority were exactly like the real king, even more majestic than His Majesty the King.

Could His Majesty the King also be a ruler in another world?

Or rather... he is His Majesty the King himself! His Majesty the King has already accomplished the grand ambition of unifying the two worlds!

(°Д°) This is unbelievable!

In that instant, a million-word epic of conquering another world flashed through the squad leader's mind, and his head drooped even lower. Regardless of who this person in front of him was, he certainly seemed formidable. Adhering to the principle that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, he chose to answer all of Eleven's questions truthfully.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Team 11 seems to have captured a white-haired female transmigrator the day before yesterday, and... has already sent her to the capital..."

The captain's voice trailed off as he spoke. After all, the real king couldn't possibly be unaware of the otherworldly person sent to the capital. Wasn't it tantamount to treason for him to so easily leak information to the otherworldly people?

However, Eleven was in no mood to pay attention to the squad leader's little schemes. He was already too excited to contain himself. He hadn't expected to get information about Lisanna so soon after arriving in the other world!

Most importantly, she's really still alive! She's really in this world!
