"Your Majesty, the cult has made a move!"

Upon hearing Athena's exclamation, Old Suo, who was gazing into the distance, instantly snapped back to reality. He and August both turned their gazes toward the outside of the village in perfect unison.

"Time's up, proceed according to plan!" (Old Suo)

"Yes!"

After speaking, Old Suo and August landed in different locations within the village, disguising themselves as village boys. Athena flew towards a grove of trees outside the village, while Herder remained high in the sky, quietly observing the situation below.

"Abutira, why is this village so quiet? Could it be a trap? (Shentreliev)" (PS: Shentreliev the tall, thin man who was one of the two who escaped earlier; he will be referred to as the Thin Fairy Child in the following text.)

"We've kept our whereabouts well hidden and have never been exposed. We shouldn't attract anyone's attention! (Abutira)" (PS: Abutira is the fat guy who was one of the two who escaped the net earlier. He will be referred to as the Fat Fairy Child in the following text.)

"My lords, why don't we send a small team into the village to scout ahead and confirm its safety before sending the main force in? (Dorgel)" (PS: This person's code name in the following text is First Lackey)

"That's a good idea!" (Fat Fairy Child)

"Since that's the case, then let's do it that way!" (Thin Fairy Child)

"Then I'll make the arrangements right away!" (First lackey)

"Go forth! (Fat and Thin Fairy Child)"

With their permission, the first henchman pointed to a small group of people behind him and whispered, "You guys, go into the village and scout out what's going on!"

As normal people, they certainly knew what it meant to go into the village to find out what was going on, but intimidated by the fat and Thin Fairy Child ' tyranny, these people had no choice but to bite the bullet and head into the village.

"That bastard Dorgel, how dare he treat us like this! When I get out of here, I'll skin him alive! (Mine Sweeper One)"

"Heh! Let's not even talk about whether we can get out of here alive, do you think you can beat Dorgel (Mine Sweeper Two)?"

"Even if you could beat him, do you think those two officials would allow you to do that? (Mine Sweeper Three)"

Faced with his teammates' sarcastic remarks, Mine Sweeper One immediately went silent.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly awkward, another mine detector spoke up at the opportune moment, breaking the silence in the air.

"Alright! Enough talk, let's keep a close eye on our surroundings, or we might really be stuck here!"

Upon hearing what Mine Sweeper Four said, the other three nodded silently and then focused intently on observing their surroundings.

Fifteen minutes later, they walked from one end of the village to the other, but nothing happened.

"Phew! Looks like we were being too paranoid! (Mine Sweeper Three)"

"That's awesome! I thought I was going to die! (Mine Sweeper One)"

"Since there's no ambush, let's quickly notify them to come in! (Mine Sweeper Four)"

Upon hearing this, the other three glanced back at the somewhat eerie village, then swallowed hard, exchanged glances for a moment, and finally turned to look at Mine Sweeper Four.

Having understood what everyone meant, Mine Sweeper Four lowered its head, sighed, and then said, "Alright! I'll go inform them. You all just wait here!"

"Go and return immediately! (Mine Sweeper Three)"

"Have a safe journey! (Mine Sweeper Two)"

"We will always remember you! (Mine Sweeper One)"

"Damn it! I'm going to deliver a message, not to die!"

After giving each of them a takoyaki (Maruko), the giant Mine Sweeper Four, bearing flames and a well mark, stomped angrily toward the location of the main force.

After confirming that the village was safe, the Thin Fairy Child led a large group into the village and began their long-planned scheme.

"The first brigade is responsible for the eastern part of the village, the second brigade for the western part, the third brigade for the southern part, and the fourth brigade for monitoring the movements outside the village. Do you all understand? (Fat Fairy Child)"

"Clear!"

"Action! (Thin Fairy Child)"

As soon as the order was given, the vicious dogs bared their fangs and charged toward the undefended village ahead.

The next second, clusters of firelight appeared in the village, followed by cries of pain, pleas for help, screams, and sinister laughter echoing throughout the village.

In the northern part of the village, in a certain forest

"Call out"

A whooshing sound rang out, and then a tall figure wearing a silver mask appeared in the jungle.

Who is it?

"Tingmei, it's me!"

Athena?

"Exactly!"

What are your instructions, Master?

"Tingmei, His Majesty orders you to enter the village immediately and dispatch the fastest members to inform the nearby Royal Army's army of the situation here."

"I understand, I'll arrange it right away!"

After Tingmei gave her reply, Athena vanished from her sight in a flash.

"As expected of the Space Battle Maiden, she's truly elusive!"

After expressing her thoughts, Tingmei immediately began to act as Old Suo had instructed.

Sensing that his opponent had taken action, August, revealing his true colors, immediately ran towards the church.

"Bang!"

Just like Old Suo in the previous chapter, August also found love around the corner.

"Laugh!"

After sliding a short distance with his feet rubbing against the ground, August came to a steady stop, while his 'true love' was in a much worse state, tumbling all the way to the end of the street and disappearing into the mountain of garbage.

After frowning and staring ahead for a while, but still not hearing any movement from the other party, August decisively caused the accident and fled the scene.

"Clang!"

Not long after August left, the garbage mountain collapsed, and then Mine Sweeper Four emerged with a banana peel on its head, rotten vegetable leaves in its mouth, and a torn sock hanging from its neck.

"Ouch! What just bumped into me? Why does it hurt so much?"

After scanning the surroundings and finding nothing there, Mine Sweeper Four's Adam's apple involuntarily bobbed up and down once.

"This village is too eerie. I'd better hurry and meet up with them!"

After saying this, he headed towards the location of the other three mine detectors.

Compared to August, who was constantly on the move, Sordil, who was also an undercover agent, was much more relaxed.

"Xiao Ou is meeting up with Erza, Tingmei has also started her operation, Kagura is also heading this way."

"Excellent! It's my turn to make my appearance!"

After speaking, Old Suo opened his eyes and slowly walked towards the designated location. (PS: Old Suo did not turn off the radio; he was still listening to the surrounding sounds.)

"Um?"

"You can't be that lucky, can you?"

"Call out"

As soon as Old Suo finished speaking, a beam of green light shot out from his left front.

"Whoosh"

"Bang!"

Looking down at the ground cracked like a spider web, Old Suo, who was taking off, revealed a playful smile.

"Hehe! Since you love playing so much, I'll play along with you!"

"Bang!"

After creating a pair of wind-powered wings for himself, Old Suo flew straight toward the light source.

"Flying? Oh no! This person is a mage!"

Just as this unlucky guy was about to leave, the target that was just a short distance away was now right in front of him.

Damn it!

After spitting out a curse, the unlucky guy swung his wand forcefully, trying to knock the other person down.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Seeing that the other party was putting in so much effort, Old Suo cooperated by not launching an attack, but instead playfully swallowed all of the opponent's attacks without missing a single one.

"Monster!"

After letting out a terrified roar, the unlucky fellow stopped attacking and turned to flee into the distance.

"Heh! You think you can just run away after hitting someone? Dream on!"

"Whoosh"

The moment he finished speaking, Old Suo disappeared into thin air, and the next second, he miraculously reappeared in front of the unlucky guy.

"Bang!"

With a straight punch, the unlucky guy's mask shattered into pieces and scattered in the air, while the unlucky guy himself turned into a shooting star and disappeared into the horizon.

"Done!"

He made a Old Suo peace sign, then continued walking towards the target area.

Because of someone's outrageous and endlessly flamboyant attack methods, everyone in the village saw a shooting star flying in reverse. As combatants, the members of the cult instantly guessed the reason.

"Oh no! There's a master in the village!" (Fat Fairy Child)

"We need to retreat quickly, or we'll be in big trouble!" (Thin Fairy Child)

After nodding, the Fat Fairy Child shouted to the first lackey, "Dorgel, quickly inform everyone to speed up the battle and evacuate this village as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

After saying this, Dorgel left the two men and ran towards the village.

On the road to Rosemary Village

"Quick! Everyone, speed up!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing their commander's order, the soldiers quickened their pace once again.

After shifting his gaze from his subordinates, the officer looked at the Purple Robes beside him and asked nervously, "Lord Dilo, how is Lord Tingmei's security force? Can they hold out until we arrive?"

"The minister is protected by elite members of the Thirteenth Heavenly King Guard, so his self-protection should not be a problem."

Upon hearing the words of the Purple Robes, the officer's expression softened considerably.

"Commander Geldor, that may be true, but we still need to hurry over there. After all... it's better to be safe than sorry!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Thinking of the potentially serious consequences if something happened to the other party, the officer nodded vigorously.

"Everyone, faster!"

"Yes!"

With someone's intervention, the trajectory of this world has gradually shifted slightly. What impact will these changes have? Will they push the world onto a completely different track? Or will it, like before, return to its original track at the last moment before derailing?

Everything remains uncertain, but one thing is certain: this time, he shouldn't be sealed into an egg again. (After all, there isn't another four hundred years for him to waste.)

With the lever, fulcrum, and force exerted all present, let's wait and see what happens next!
