Chapter 195
"This is the only way for now." Elvian clenched her fists, her beautiful eyes blazing with anger. "Those Heretic will never let them steal meat from my mouth!"
"Your Queen is mighty! However... I have a plan that might be of help to you."
"Oh?" Elvian's eyes lit up. "What method?"
"I have been traveling for many years and have come to know the Saintess of the Gate of Janus. How about I ask her for a favor? After all, the Gate of Janus has always been proactive in dealing with heretics."
"You still know the Saintess?"
Elvian was taken aback. "Miss Lin Qi, the newly appointed Saintess of the Gate of Janus?"
"Right."
"How... how do you know her?"
"It was a coincidence, a coincidence," Ryan chuckled. "Some things just happened between us, and anyway, we got along pretty well."
Seeing this, Elvian sneered, "What happened must have been quite exciting, right? Did the same thing happen between you and King Amabena? Rider, your luck with women really surprises me."
"Then you've wronged me. 'Lin Qi' and Amabena are not the same..." Ryan shrugged. "Queen, just tell me if it's useful or not. If you don't think it's working, then we won't look for her."
"No, we have to find someone. Given Wildea's current situation, it's too difficult to deal with both the City of Desire and the Augustus Empire at the same time... However, I heard that the Saintess is in Baron. If you ask her for help, will the Empress of Augustus allow the Gate of Janus to intervene?"
Elvian only knew that 'Lin Qi' was in Augustus, but she didn't know that she was a High Lord. In fact, only a very few people were qualified to access this secret.
"That's alright." Ryan waved his hand. "With my relationship with her, there won't be any problems. Your Queen, just wait and see. Those cultists of lust won't be arrogant for long! Your Queen, you may not know, but what I hate most in this life is those unrestrained lunatics. Now that I have the chance, I will definitely step up without hesitation."
I, Ryan, swear I will never tolerate gambling and drugs!
"Real?"
Elvian was puzzled.
The Saintess of the Gate of Janus is on par with the Queen in terms of status, and if she does well in the future, she might even become the pope.
How could someone like that know Rider?
Moreover, Rider was quite confident that he could get the other party to help him?
"Rider, you and that Saintess... you're not lovers either, are you?" Elvian asked expressionlessly. "And King Amabena, plus Avril, that makes three lovers. Rider, am I right?"
Ryan was shocked. "Your Queen, you..."
"Heh~ No need to deny it, I know." Elvian snorted. "You've done this much, that's your skill. Don't worry, I won't tell Avril. This is a secret between you and me."
Ryan shouted, "The Queen! Long live the Queen!"
Elvian's lips curled into a smile. She had now seized control of Ryan, and if this were to be revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However... Rider, if you are devoted to me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly. But if you are disloyal to me... hehe~ I've heard that the Saintess is aloof and ruthless when it comes to killing. You'd better pray for yourself.
First update! I'm so sleepy, I'm taking a nap. I created a group, here's the group number: 141335453. The answer to join is 'Serious Physiognomist'.
I'm going to take a nap and then start writing. Please vote for me! I need to stay in the top ten for monthly votes!!
Chapter 131 Federal Head of State Motis! The Wild Hunt is the coolest! [6k5]
Would Elvian refuse to let Gate of Janus in? Of course not.
She wasn't worried that Janus's faith would crowd out the moon goddess and shake the foundations of the kingdom, since Wildea had already formed a very stable faith, and the same was true for most of the Northern Coalition.
Faith is not something that can be changed overnight.
In this respect, the Northern Coalition is completely different from the Augustus Empire.
On the contrary, if Gate of Janus is entered, the threat to the City of Desire will be greatly reduced.
So when Ryan mentioned asking 'Lin Qi' for help, Avilan was very willing regardless of whether it would be successful.
And whether it works out or not, she already knows about Ryan's situation.
Hmph! This guy, has he gone traveling the continent exploring ruins? He's clearly been leaving his mark everywhere!
Poor Avril... Elvian felt a little sorry for this future general of the Federation, but for the sake of Wilder, she could only keep it a secret. Perhaps she could be more forceful later and keep Ryan in the country?
Thinking about this, Elvian became curious. Putting aside Ama Amabena, both Avril and Lin Qi were top-notch and outstanding people. How could they both be interested in Ryan?
What is it about this guy that makes him so appealing?
Looking at Ryan, who had already submitted to her, Elvian nodded in satisfaction, suddenly feeling a strange sense of vanity.
However, she wasn't in the mood to talk about those things with Ryan right now. After finalizing the action plan, she immediately went to deal with other matters.
The joint meeting will be held first thing tomorrow morning, and even if Gate of Janus moves as fast as it can, it certainly won't be able to keep up with this standoff.
"The Queen said you don't need to rush back."
Ryan brought the belongings to the balcony. "She can handle the Northern Coalition's affairs."
"Really?" Monica frowned. "Could it be that His Your Majesty has a backup plan? Well, His Your Majesty has considered everything, and with the assistance of the Royal Army of Alfred, the mere heretical disturbance is nothing."
Ryan thought to himself, "Girl, your Your Majesty almost cried just now."
However, he didn't want Monica to leave. The Moonlight Knight Order 30,000 men here. Once everything was ready, he could take them down and lock the female knight in the basement, which would halve the Knights' fighting strength.
Why send them back? To fight? There's still Avril playing for Wilder!
Queen, if you give me Monica, I'll give you Avril. Isn't Starry Knight better than Moonlight Knight? You should be able to figure that out by now, right?
After seeing Monica off, Ryan immediately contacted 'Lin Qi' and asked her to mobilize the forces of the Gate of Janus at once.
"Having a first wife around makes things stable."
Is there anything that can't be done in the name of Saintess?
What Heretic? Eat my Janus Great Light Wave!
However, Ryan wasn't going to rescue Wildea. The Gate of Janus had to enter at the most opportune moment—for example, when the Augustus army arrived, the Federation was in chaos, and Elvian was on the verge of collapse.
After making the arrangements, Ryan switched to the character interface of 'Motis'. At this moment, the Deep Sea Hunter was running at high speed, followed by Kant and three Desire Cultists.
"Stop her! Capture her alive!"
Kant looks to be under thirty years old; to reach the fifth rank at that age is truly genius.
Of the other three Desire Cultists, one is at the Fourth Tier and two are at the third level.
"That's quite a generous gesture."
Ryan did a quick calculation and found that the Desire Cultists that Adechis mobilized were already a terrifying force. Even if the Desire Cultists sent by other countries couldn't compare to those here, the combined number of high-level Supernatural Being was still more than that of the Burning Covenant. And this was just a plan orchestrated by one of the seven elders.
Even setting aside the seven divisions, the power of the City of Desire is far greater than Ryan had anticipated.
While pondering, 'Motis' successfully led the four into the barrier.
"Not running anymore?"
Kanté has blond hair and is somewhat handsome, but his face is as white as a sheet of paper.
"Speak, which elder sent you?"
Motis remained silent, raising the black sword in his hand.
Just as Kant's men were about to rush forward, he shouted, "I'll take her on one-on-one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Motis immediately activated his Wild Hunt Stance. With the neighing of his warhorse, the broken black sword transformed into a giant spear. Motis rode on his headless warhorse, raised his hand, and figures rose from the shadows!
Ten third-tier followers and one Fourth Tier follower!
During this time, Motis was investigating the Chaos Space. All the demons she hunted were used as food. Although the number of her familiars was not large, their levels were very high, especially the Fourth Tier familiar, which was a huge one-horned demon.
When this squad of dependents appeared, Kant on the opposite side was clearly stunned; he had just been thinking of a one-on-one fight...
"Superior!"
One-on-one?
One-on-one fight my ass!
However, Kant didn't intend to run away, because he could tell that 'Motis' was only at the third level. Even if his strength had increased to the fifth level, the advantage would be on him!
"Battles between Supernatural Being are not won by sheer numbers!"
Kant is a hidden class in the Desire Path, named 'Blade of Discipline', and is one of the few combat-oriented classes in the Desire Path.
The class is similar to an assassin, wielding dual swords. Ryan remembers that this class was quite popular among players.
Whoosh!
Kant's figure flew out in a streamlined motion, his ability somewhat similar to the Shadow Stealth used by 'Lin Qi'.
With the boost from his high-level attributes, Kant was very fast, but just as he approached Motis, the warhorse beneath him suddenly neighed and then kicked out with its hooves.
Boom!
A loud bang.
Kanté was forced to reveal his true form from his mobile state.
Ryan was taken aback. "Good heavens, it even comes with a trampling feature?"
He thought the warhorse was just for decoration, but it turned out to be able to attack on its own initiative.
Hiss~
Motis's spear landed on the ground, missing its target. The stun lasted only a short time. After recovering, Kant jumped to dodge, then waved his hand, and a purple mist spread outward from him.
This is the domain skill of the Discipline Blade. Once an enemy is trapped in the domain, they will be corrupted by desire and suffer mental effects. Kant can also use the mist to conceal his figure and kill the target with one blow when the target is affected.
Motis's Will of the Wild Hunt is completely immune to mental influences, but when Ryan saw her sitting on her warhorse and starting to shake her head, it looked like she had already been affected.
When Kant appeared, Motis suddenly launched a thrust attack, managing to stab Kant hard.
"That's impressive."
Ryan was amazed. The AI Auto-Battle was indeed amazing; he could never have controlled it so precisely by Manual Control.
"It looks like we have a chance to win."
In fact, the Wild Hunt has an advantage in attacking through the Desire path. Besides the damage bonus, it also provides immunity to mind control, so it's not afraid of a direct confrontation. After entering Wild Hunt mode, 'Motis' is already not much worse than Kant in terms of stats thanks to the relic bonus, not to mention having a large number of familiars to help him.
The only problem is that the Magic Power consumption in Wild Hunt mode is too terrifying, and 'Motis' is not even at the Fourth Tier yet, so her 'mana bar' cannot support her for too long in battle.
After about ten minutes, Motis's mana bar was almost depleted—even while she was constantly replenishing her Mana Potion. Kant had obviously noticed her condition, so he changed from a direct attack to a flanking maneuver, avoiding any direct confrontation with Motis and not even caring that his three henchmen had all died.
After a ten-minute battle of attrition, the two were evenly matched, but Motis was running out of Magic Power and was about to be unable to maintain his Wild Hunt form.
Despite his injuries, Kant laughed wildly, "You're going to lose! You're finally going to lose!!!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Motis suddenly pulled out a Magic Scrolls and threw it out.
Kant looked up in astonishment as the Magic Scrolls released a powerful Power of Death in the air. When this force struck him, Kant felt as if he were 'sealed', and a chilling sensation surged through his body and soul, rendering him completely unable to do anything.
Immediately afterwards, Motis raised his lance and unleashed the skill – Spear of Storm!
Call out!
The lance transformed into a streak of light and shot forward, striking Kant and unleashing a tremendous explosion!
"Damn it, I'm still wasting a scroll."
Ryan didn't even look at the explosion effect; in Kant's condition, it was impossible for him to withstand the power of the Spear of Storm.
Sure enough, after the smoke cleared, Kanté was completely wiped out.
Motis walked over and put away the other person's storage bag.
This thing is a relic that Janus Path, and it has been verified that even Seventh Tier Transcendent would have a hard time damaging it.
You have obtained 3 Magic Scrolls.
You have obtained the 'Dagger of Corrosion'.
You have obtained Mana Potion.
You have received...
"Huh? This guy has so many treasures on him, it's hilarious, what do you mean he wouldn't use them even if he died?"
The Magic Scrolls consist of two Fourth Tier and one third-tier scroll, while the Dagger of Corrosion is a relic used by Kant.
