Chapter 270

While there are many ordinary people who, after training, become terrifyingly strong—the kind of people whose hairstyles immediately reveal their strength, like many Bounty Hunter —this is an army! How terrifying would it be if an army of tens of thousands of people were all bald like that? At least Ryan didn't think the Arcadia Empire could muster such a force.

They may have a complete training method, but it's impossible for them to reach this level solely through physical fitness.

"This weapon... is really amazing."

Ryan looked at the weapon, which was even larger than a lance, and asked, "May I try it?"

"Certainly."

Moke did not refuse.

The Watcher Legion are one of Arcadia's biggest secrets, but since Kachina asked him to talk to Ryan, it might mean that Her Empress Your Majesty tacitly allowed Ryan to have some contact with the Watchers.

Well, even if ordinary people knew about the Watcher Legion, it wouldn't be of any use or significance, since they're not enemy generals.

Moke had someone bring a large spear, and after thinking for a moment, he also brought an extra set of armor.

"Be careful, these are heavy."

Seeing Ryan reach for the heavy gun with one hand, Moke quickly reminded him, fearing that the gun might crush the future Prince.

Ryan easily picked it up with one hand.

"Don't worry, I'm a Supernatural Being," Ryan said with a smile.

As he spoke, he tried to swing the spear. The Watchers's weapon was shaped like a lance, perhaps due to his habit of using it. Ryan felt that if it were made into a crescent-shaped halberd like Guan Yu's, its lethality would be even greater.

After all, a lance is more suitable for sprinting than for swinging.

However, the development of weapons is inherently limited by the times. Ryan discovered that the Earth Watcher used lances, and swords were almost never seen. This was not only the case in the Arcadia Empire, but also in the Augustus and Northern Federation. They used either two-handed swords, Cross Sword, or lances, or short Dagger and daggers. Swords were indeed rarely seen.

Ryan would never offer such advice to Moke. Even setting aside the question of whether it would be feasible, wouldn't it be insane for him to give advice to the enemy?

"How does it feel?" Moke said with some pride, "In terms of weapon weight, on the entire Eastern Continent... no, I should say the entire Rhea Continent, you can't find anything heavier than the Watcher Legion. We are the true heavy armor legion!"

"It's quite heavy; its destructive power should be considerable."

"Of course, it's similar to the effect of a blunt weapon, but it also serves as a charging weapon. We're not afraid of even a head-on clash with iron cavalry!" Moke chuckled. "Some people suggested that the Watchers use heavy hammers, but that was rejected. A blunt weapon is just one effect; making it look like a lance better showcases the Watchers' class characteristics. Just you wait and see, not only will these Moonlight Knight Order be no match for us, but even the Holy Blood Army won't stand a chance!"

"Oh right, and there's Augustus's Iron Blood Legion. I've heard of them, but unfortunately, they're too far away to get in touch with them. But now that we're at war with the Northern Continent, I can't wait to meet them. At that time, the entire Northern Continent will understand how laughable the word 'Ironblood' is in front of the Watcher Legion."

Moke was very excited, clearly having long anticipated this war.

Ryan didn't say anything, thinking to himself, "If you say that in front of the Grand Duke, you might only be able to sit in the children's seat from now on."

Although the Watcher Legion are indeed powerful, the Iron Blood Army is undergoing a transformation, and Ryan believes that once they enter the transcendental sequence, the Iron Blood Army will certainly not be weaker than the Watcher Legion.

As for the Holy Blood Army... ha~ Ryan doesn't believe these big shells can withstand the Holy Blood Army's charge. The Blood God is the god of war, and that alone means the Holy Blood Army's growth potential is higher than the Watcher Legion. Not to mention, the Holy Blood Army is led by 'Shally,' the Eternal Chosen One, anyone?

Next, Moke spent almost half an hour explaining the greatness of the Watcher Legion to Ryan. Perhaps he initially felt that there were some things he shouldn't tell outsiders, but he got more and more excited as he talked, or perhaps it was the influence of Ryan's title of 'future Prince '. In any case, Moke said a lot of things that he should and shouldn't have said.

Ryan listened with "uh-huh" sounds while silently noting down the key points, such as the recruitment and training of the Watchers. However, Moke didn't talk much about that aspect, instead emphasizing how bravely they fought the enemy, which annoyed Ryan to no end. "I wouldn't even take your crappy lances if you gave them to me, what are you bragging about!"

Afterwards Moke began to arrange the attack mission. Ryan took the opportunity to observe the Watcher Legion for a while and found that the Watchers were organized into units of a thousand people, and each unit was called a 'Battle Group'. A total of forty Battle Group came for this attack.

Each Battle Group is led by one chief and two deputy Battle Group, and each Battle Group is Supernatural Being has passed through the earth, also known as Earth Watcher.

Well, this class is quite famous in the game, an undisputed front-line class. There's also an upgraded hidden class called "Earth Knight," which is an essential front-line character for almost every player in the later stages of the game.

Thanks to the unique characteristics of the Extraordinary Path, the Watchers has extremely high defense and its attacks are mainly based on strength attributes, emphasizing sturdiness and durability.

Three extraordinary classes are enough to cover a Battle Group, and they also have tactics for mutual cover and flanking maneuvers, charging in specific formations to ensure that every Watchers soldier can be empowered with extraordinary abilities under any circumstances.

Although Ryan was dismissive of the Watchers' weapons, he had to admit that the legion's power was indeed formidable, making him quite envious.

"Arcadia should have a stable way of producing Watchers, just like Veldria... Damn, thinking about it that way, Augustus really has nothing, just a bigger territory."

The places where you can choose your starting point for free are indeed generally weaker. Of course, although Wildea has the Moonlight Knight Order, you have to fight the Northern Union civil war at the start. Overall, it's not that much different from Augustus. Since both are free, neither should complain about the other.

"Rider." At this moment, Kachina came over after finishing her business. She had her hands behind her back, looking somewhat girlish, and her white dress fluttered in the evening breeze. "So, have you witnessed the power of the Watcher Legion?"

Ryan gave a thumbs up. "I've seen it all! With such a powerful legion, whether it's Augustus or the Northern Federation, they'll never return!"

"Hehe~ Actually, I'm not very interested in fighting, but Kachia has been handling government affairs, so I should do my part... Hmm, Queen Veldria should be here this time too, I'll go and have a good meeting with her."

"Queen Wildeia, Elvian?"

"Yes, she's a Seventh Tier Transcendent. She's said to be very strong and an arrogant person. It's a pity she was defeated by Augustus a few days ago. I heard that she was also married to one of Augustus's nobles, whose name was... what was it again?" Kachina tilted her head, looking thoughtful.

Ryan quickly said, "That doesn't matter. Whether she's Queen or Empress, she's destined to be trampled under our feet."

Kachina laughed, "Hehe~ Of course, let's wipe out this Moonlight Knight Order first, and let Wildea know how foolish it was to choose to become an ally of Augustus."

Ryan said, "And the Northern Federation's choice to ally with Augustus is even more foolish."

The two exchanged a smile, "Praise be to the Earth Goddess."

Not far away, Moke secretly witnessed this scene and felt fortunate for his warm hospitality towards Ryan. As expected, his guess was right; this was the first time Her Your Majesty Kachina had treated someone other than Her Your Majesty Kachia so kindly.

Don't be fooled by Her Your Majesty Kachina's ever-present smile; when she's about to kill, she's smiling too.

While laughing, his head disappeared.

Next, as he made final preparations for the attack, Ryan took advantage of Kachina's absence to return to his tent and contact Elvian. Having achieved this through inside and outside cooperation, Ryan still felt that something was amiss.

"It's all the fault of those Alts for not working hard enough, forcing me, the main body, to be the mole. Tsk!"

Sooner or later, I'll find an opportunity to teach 'Vainay', 'Motis', and 'Shally' a lesson, and give those Alts a good thrashing, so they'll know how hard the real person works out there!

After signaling to Elvian, Ryan waited in the tent.

About ten minutes later, a sudden commotion broke out outside.

"Oh no! Wilder, the runner-up, has appeared!"

"What?"

"That's impossible!"

"Quickly! Inform His Your Majesty immediately!"

"All troops, prepare for alert!"

The commotion didn't last long, followed by the sound of the army marching in formation. Ryan stood by the tent, looking at the camp. The Moonlight Knight Order hadn't launched a direct attack, but their sudden appearance in the vicinity caused the Arcadia officers to suspect they had fallen into a trap. Their first thought was to adopt a defensive posture and observe the situation.

Ryan saw Kachina appear in the crowd, talking to Moke and other high-ranking officers, before they quickly left together, seemingly to check on the situation.

Ryan lowered the curtain and returned to the tent, then took out the Pot of Greed.

Looking at the ugly smiling face on the pot, Ryan sighed for a moment. Who would have thought that someone as Pure White Dragon as himself would have to rely on such filthy things? The vices of wine and women have ruined me so much!

While pondering, Ryan unhesitatingly released the power of the Mark of Desire, activating the Pot of Greed.

In an instant, the Power of Desire erupted like a volcano, spreading throughout the entire camp with lightning speed!

Boom!!!

The sudden outburst of Power of Desire left everyone in the camp stunned.

"What's going on?!"

"What happens???"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"All troops, prepare for alert!"

"Damn it! Wilder, the runner-up, even hired those damned bastards, Desire!"

"Everyone be careful, these forces are very strange!"

"No, someone has been infected!"

"Damn it, find the source of power immediately!"

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph!!!"

How powerful is the force amplified by the Mark of Desire? Just look at the lingering power in City of Sin to find out!

Although Ryan intended to control it to avoid harming the Wilder army on the periphery, the force still overwhelmed the 'mortals' in the Arcadia army immediately. Even the Watchers soldiers, apart from those Supernatural Being, could not withstand it for long. Once corrupted by the Power of Desire, they would degenerate at an extremely fast speed and become yellow waste with their minds full of sex!

Ryan didn't even need to go outside; he could imagine it just from the moans and groans coming from outside. After all, he had witnessed the scene of the strongman locking up a man in the City of Sin last night, and in the Arcadia...

Hiss!

Those Watchers soldiers are probably so anxious right now that they wish they could pierce through their armor with their spears!

"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! There's trouble at the camp!"

"That's... the Power of Desire!"

"How is this possible? How could the Power of Desire appear in the camp??"

"Someone has infiltrated the camp!"

Moke and the others looked back at the situation in the camp, and they were all stunned. The surging fog reflected the moonlight, making it look particularly eerie.

The Power of Desire —they never expected this thing to appear on the battlefield!

War and desire are completely unrelated!

"It's those guys again."

Kachina narrowed her eyes, her expression turning cold. She was truly angry; it had been the same yesterday in the City of Sin. If it weren't for the Power of Desire, how could the witch's people have possibly done anything to her?

While Kachia found it amusing that she had fallen from grace, Kachina wouldn't allow such a thing to happen on such an important occasion.

"Your Majesty, do you know what happened?"

"They're from the City of Desire, probably veterans. That's why the City of Sin had its incident last night," Kachina said immediately. "Quickly, get everyone evacuated."

Once the Power of Desire spreads, she can't even imagine what kind of trouble it will cause.

Even the strongest Watchers could never stop this power.

Moke and the others obeyed the order and rushed back, not caring that they were being swallowed up by the Power of Desire. When they saw the 'horrific state' in the camp, their faces twitched a few times.

These imperial warriors, who normally possess steely wills, are now behaving like patrons of prostitutes in a drunken stupor! And what's more, there are no prostitutes; they're just patronizing each other!

"What a tragedy!!"

A legion commander was heartbroken; these were his most prized soldiers!

Armor? Weapons? Throw them all aside!

The underwear was also tossed aside.

Laughter echoed everywhere, and the sight of these steel giants lifting iron against each other was incredibly impactful. Before the legion commander could even grieve for three seconds, he felt an overwhelming sense of pleasure wash over him. In that instant, nothing else mattered— Imperial Glory? War? Victory? The Empress's orders? None of it mattered!

Life is short, so seize the day!

"Bro, you smell so good~~"

Moke, standing to the side, was shocked. He was the strongest, having long since reached the level of Sixth Tier Supernatural Being, and was also known as the Earth Knight for his defense, so he had a strong resistance to the erosion of the Power of Desire.

But apart from him, everyone around him was already showing signs of pleasure.

"What are you doing?!" Moke roared angrily. "Have you forgotten the Imperial Glory? Have you forgotten His Your Majesty's expectations? How could you fall so low for the power of mere lust! Wake up! Remember the pride of an Imperial warrior!"

His shout brought the others back to their senses a little, but that little bit of clarity quickly faded.

"Lord Moke, I..."

"Lord Moke, you smell so good."

"Lord Moke..."

"Lord Moke..."

Seeing a group of lecherous men staring at him, Moke felt utterly humiliated.

"The slutistic trend is like a raging flood, harming the soldiers of the empire!"

He raised his weapon high, and a powerful golden force suddenly erupted.

Boom!!!

The Earth Knight's protective power exploded, briefly dispelling the influence of desire. The Imperial warriors who had taken off their pants and were lifting weights were all stunned, looking at each other's hands in bewilderment.

"Everyone, listen up! Break out immediately!!!"

Moke's voice echoed throughout the camp.

Meanwhile, far outside the camp.
