Chapter 277

"At 2 AM, the location is..."

Kachia deciphered the message Kachina was conveying through empathy.

Kachina had been scouting the area for days, naturally observing the camp's defenses. Even the Moonlight Knight Order needed rest and meals, right?

At 2 a. m., an hour before the night shift change, the people on guard duty are quite sleepy, while the people changing shifts are still asleep.

Moreover, there weren't many patrols, making it the perfect time to attack.

It took Kachina three days, with Ryan's help, to finally figure out the situation and the location of the Moonlight Knight Order' encampment.

At the end of the 'telegram' she sent, she specifically mentioned Ryan's contribution to Kachia.

However, Kachia became increasingly suspicious of Ryan.

Because Kachina's level of trust in Ryan is far too high, it's practically impossible for such a thing to happen, considering how long they've known each other. Besides, she knew that Kachia sought out Ryan the night she needed to resolve her Power of Desire.

Out of concern for her younger sister, Kachia now harbors a natural hatred for Ryan.

Kachia felt uneasy about tonight's operation, but the die was cast, and she was determined to rescue Kachina no matter the cost.

After confirming the time and place, Kachia returned to the camp. Just after midnight, she arrived at an open area in the camp and began to inscribe the array.

She took out golden powder from her storage bag and sprinkled it on the ground. The trajectory of the falling powder formed a preliminary array. Then, Kachia threw six flags into the six positions of the array. After the flags fell, the array pattern automatically traced its trajectory, and under the Magic Power emitted by the powder, it finally formed an array pattern that emitted golden light.

After the array patterns appeared, Kachia took out a dark gold stone and placed it in the center.

This is a stone imbued with the divine power of the earth, possessing the ability to allow people to traverse terrain. When used in conjunction with formations, it can instantly teleport people to the anchored location, making it extremely convenient Agility.

The downside is that this kind of stone is extremely rare; she wouldn't have used it if it weren't to save Kachina.

"Listen up, everyone!" Kachia summoned the Supernatural Being squad and the Watchers officers. "Once inside, launch an immediate attack. Your target is the Moonlight Knight. Kill as many Moonlight Knight as possible." After speaking to the superhuman squad, she turned to the officers. "You all assemble your respective teams immediately. Your mission is to kill all living Veldrians! This time, I will annihilate the entire Moonlight Knight Order!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Set off!"

At Kachia's command, she took charge of maintaining the formation, and then the Supernatural Being team quickly entered the formation.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Golden rays flashed by; under the influence of the Earth Power, this teleportation method was no different from opening Chaos Space, although it wasn't as far, it was much safer.

Twenty Supernatural Being quickly entered the formation, followed by the Watchers. Each officer led his soldiers to maintain formation, ensuring that they could launch an attack immediately after being teleported there.

Kachia noticed that the earth stone in the center of the formation had cracked, a sign of its power waning. Teleporting three thousand people over was still somewhat difficult, so she quickly activated her power to maintain the stability of the formation.

Once the last soldier entered the formation and was teleported away, Kachia breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then stepped into the formation herself.

Swish!~

Kachia's vision went black, and when she reappeared, she was in another place.

"Arcadia warriors, follow me and kill... Huh?!"

Before she could finish speaking, Kachia stared blankly for a full three seconds at the surrounding flames of war and the soldiers falling one after another in pools of blood.

Not honored!

We've fallen for their trap! There's a mole inside!

Sorry for the discount this week. The book hasn't had much exposure or sales lately, and I haven't been able to update frequently due to illness, so I discussed with the editor about a discount to attract more readers. Sorry to all the readers who have followed this far! bows

Chapter 167 Ryan: I told you I was Chosen of the Earth God!

"Rider, why is there still no sound outside? Could it be that Kachia is delayed by something?"

Inside the tent, Kachina asked with curiosity.

She had been keeping an eye on the situation outside. Just a short while ago, Kachia had sent her a message, tapping the right side twice to indicate that the operation was about to begin.

It's been quite a while now; the Arcadia army should have arrived by now and wiped out those clueless Veldrian knights, right?

"I wonder if something unexpected has happened?" Ryan said, walking towards the tent entrance. He peeked out from under a corner of the curtain. "Your Majesty, there's nothing going on outside."

"Let me see."

Kachia glanced at it twice, looking puzzled.

That shouldn't be the case. Since Kachia made a promise, she would definitely tell her even if something unexpected happened. If she didn't, does that mean... she didn't have a chance to tell her?

"Your Majesty, something's not right." Ryan said gravely. "Even if there's something else going on with Her Your Majesty Kachia, she would surely tell you. And isn't it too quiet here?"

"You mean..."

"Could they have set up a barrier to Inner World underworld?"

"!!!"

Ryan's words were a wake-up call. Kachina had been wondering what the reason might be, especially if it was the Inner World...

"Wait, could it be that Elvian already knew Kachia was going to attack this place? That's impossible, right? Only the three of us knew about the plan..."

"Who said it was just the three of us?" Ryan said speechlessly. "As long as Her Your Majesty Kachia mobilizes her forces, the news will inevitably leak out. The Watcher Legion has so many people, can you guarantee that every single one of them is loyal? Even if they are loyal, once the Watchers make a move, that cunning Elvian probably already keeping an eye on the Imperial Capital's movements. Even if it's not her, I've heard that Empress Augustus is a ruthless character. She's already allied with the Northern Federation, she'll definitely be thinking of dealing with us."

Kachina was taken aback. "Yes, if they've been keeping an eye on her... then Kachia has already fallen into a trap, hasn't she?"

"Anything is possible," Ryan said anxiously. "Whether it is or not, we'll find out soon enough. If it is, that would be terrible!"

"You're right... Damn it, I should have reminded Kachia. Someone as shrewd as her couldn't possibly have missed that. I was just too hasty."

Kachina rushed out of the tent and quickly realized that something was wrong.

Although her Magic Power was sealed, it didn't mean she had truly become a mortal. She could sense the Magic Power fluctuations that occurred after the barrier of the Inner World was activated as soon as she got close.

Kachina then calmed down and sensed it, quickly perceiving some subtle changes in her body through empathy. Because she was so close to Kachia at that moment, she could sense them even though she was sealed away.

"Kachia is within this barrier!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of knights charged forward.

"You two, get back to your tents immediately!" the lead Moonlight Cavalry shouted.

"Where is Elvian? I need to see Elvian!"

"Does His Your Majesty think you can just see him whenever you want? Go back now, or we won't be so polite!"

"You bastard!" Kachina gritted her teeth in anger.

"Your Empress, please calm down." Ryan hurriedly grabbed Kachina and dragged her back into the tent. "Your Empress, now that the situation is clear, we need to find a way to enter the barrier. Arguing with those guys will only waste time."

"But this relic is of a high grade, and I can't unlock it by myself." Kachina tried to activate her Magic Power, but her Magic Power was sealed tightly. This kind of relic that seals Magic Power is extremely powerful regardless of which Faith Path from. Unless she can get the materials to perform a ritual to break the seal with the help of external forces, but both her and Ryan's storage bags have been taken.

"I might give it a try." Ryan scratched his head. "When I was teleported to the ruins, I seemed to have a lot more information in my mind, including a ritual that doesn't require sacrifices. If the great Earth Goddess responds to me, it might be useful."

"The Earth Goddess responded?" Kachina was taken aback. "Is that even possible?"

Ryan shrugged. "Whatever, we'll have to try to find out."

How long will it take?

"Very soon."

As Ryan spoke, he casually grabbed a stick from inside the tent, drew a pattern of Earth Mark on the spot, and began to chant in a pretentious manner.

His handcuffs were fake to begin with. The purpose of this ritual was to make it easier to use Magic Power without being detected, and also to buy some time until the situation on Kachia's side got worse.

"O sublime and all-knowing god, bearer of civilization and history, guardian of the source of all knowledge— Earth Goddess, your devout follower Rider yearns for your power to break the shackles of this world!"

The eulogy was obviously made up by Ryan himself, but who cares? He never expected it to work anyway. He just needed to put on a show and then conveniently destroy the fake relics... Oh ho ho ho!!! It lit up! That random thing he drew on the ground lit up!

Kachina was also shocked.

"It really succeeded?" Kachina was astonished. This was the first time she had ever seen such a 'simple' ceremony, so rudimentary that it didn't even have a proper sacrificial site. Yet it actually succeeded! You know, she and Kachia had built a huge and magnificent altar to pray for the Earth Goddess's response!

However, it was completely useless.

The Earth Goddess did not respond at all.

Ryan was stunned. He felt a warm power surge into his body, and then the handcuffs on his hands shattered with a snap.

No, I'm just going through the motions. Goddess, you don't actually need to give me the power, do you? At least wait until I really need it in a crucial moment!

Ryan wanted to cry; he had just wasted an opportunity to use his divine power.

"Rider, it really worked!" Kachina exclaimed excitedly. "He truly deserves to be my Prince, truly the Chosen of the Gods of the earth!"

"Hahaha, I never thought it would work! This is wonderful, Your Majesty... Yes, it's the power of the Earth God! We're saved!"

Ryan laughed for a while, then started crying.

"Rider, why are you crying?"

"No, I'm so touched. I never expected the Earth Goddess to care about someone as insignificant as me... Enough of that, Your Majesty, let's go out quickly."

As the Chosen of the Earth God, Ryan's strength was comparable to that of Fourth Tier Supernatural Being, which was reasonable, and it was clearly enough for him to deal with the group of knights guarding outside.

Of course, Ryan wouldn't kill them; he simply used the Earth Power to turn them into stone and knock the knights unconscious.

Kachina didn't care about all that; she just wanted to break through the barrier and enter the Inner World as soon as possible.

Once the barrier to the Inner World was activated, one needed to forcefully break through the Mana Barrier to enter. Ryan used all his strength, like someone drinking Amabena's milk, and finally managed to break through an opening, pulling Kachina inside.

Boom!!!

As soon as they entered, the deafening roar that filled their ears was a stark contrast to the outside world. Everywhere they looked, there was a scene of burning war, with corpses lying in pools of blood everywhere. And those corpses... were almost all members of the Watcher Legion!

"Kachia!!"

Kachina looked up at the sky.

All that could be seen was Kachia struggling to hold on against the combined attack of the two.

Of the two, one was none other than Elvian, while the other, Kachina, had never seen before, but her fighting style vaguely reminded her of a race— the Deep Sea Hunter.

Still not done?... Ryan looked up as well.

The Watchers soldiers have been almost wiped out, and the Supernatural Being squad has been dealt with by the Deep Sea Hunter. The biggest threat now is Empress of the Empire Kachia, who seems to be even stronger Kachina, managing to hold out for so long against the combined attacks of Elvian and Haklem.

However, Ryan had no intention of taking down Kachia so easily. If the twins were captured, the Arcadia Empire would inevitably fall apart, which was not what he wanted.

Arcadia cannot be destroyed, otherwise the situation in the Eastern Continent will be in chaos. At that time, it will be difficult for either Augustus or the Northern Federation to intervene. If Ryan wants to rule the Eastern Continent, he will have to start from scratch, which is too troublesome.

So his plan is to try to win over the twins with his small head. It seems that Kachina's favorability and trust in him are almost maxed out, and only Kachia is left to win him over.

At that moment, Kachia, who was struggling to hold on, also noticed Kachina entering. The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood what each other was thinking.

Whoosh!

Kachia flew over quickly.

Elvian and Haklem followed closely behind, but were blocked by layers of rocks formed from the Earth Power. The golden layers of rocks piled up one after another, forming a mountain-like formation, but Elvian quickly cut them in half with a single sword strike.

The moonlight pierced through the golden rocks, and the next second, Kachia was already beside Kachina. Then, under the watchful eyes of Ryan and the others, the two bodies rapidly advanced and merged, enveloped in a dazzling golden light!

Amidst the golden light, the twins faced each other, until the light became so bright that it was blinding... One second, two seconds, three seconds later, the light subsided, revealing to everyone the twins in their merged form!

Dominated by Kachia's appearance, with dazzling golden wings unfurling behind her, and a longsword burning with golden flames in her hand!

"Wow, a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!" Ryan exclaimed in surprise.

Previously, it was just that Kachia lent her power to Kachina, and the 'transformation' between the two wasn't so direct. Now it seems that the game designer understands fusion; either he's an old Douluo or a card player.

Ryan was considering whether to secretly take out the Pot of Greed, or throw a Magic Scrolls at 'Avril,' since the twins' strength after fusion was far beyond what an ordinary seventh-tier could contend with... However, he soon discovered that the twins were not in good condition at the moment, and were even weaker than when Kachina had transformed.

That's true. Kachina's Magic Power was sealed, and even if the fusion could forcefully break through, her condition was already poor.

"Walk!"

Kachia slammed her right hand into the ground, and the resulting massive shockwave sent Elvian and Haklem flying, Ryan was also knocked far away.

"Rider! Kachia, bring Rider with you!"

Just as Kachia was about to flee, she raised an eyebrow. After hesitating for less than a second, she flashed in front of Ryan and pulled him into a golden light.

Ryan felt as if he had been squeezed underground. Golden light cleared the way, Kachia pulled him away at lightning speed. When they reappeared a few seconds later, they were already on a large meadow shrouded in moonlight.

Then Kachia pulled him along, flapped her wings, and took off. At that moment, Ryan felt that airplanes and bullet trains were all incredibly weak!

This is no longer a pure 'flight', but an application of the laws of space travel. Although it is not the Power of the Janus Path, Kachia did achieve this. Perhaps it is true that the origin of all power is the same.

Just then, the flight speed suddenly slowed down, and then Kachia's body flashed with light, turning one person into two. Kachina and Kachia fell from the sky at the same time, but fortunately, Kachia used Magic Power to catch them and they landed steadily.

"Call!"
