Claire didn't have much time to hesitate.
Mudd, who tried to cause a psychic explosion in the Dukedom of Booker, has died. If the lurking Star Seeking Brigade learns of his failure, they will attack the Imperial Capital.
Before the pervasive spiritual power disappears, he must create a psychic explosion in the Dukedom to awaken the Son of the Star hidden in the empire.
—Then destroy it, and let those foreign villains who are trying to disrupt the empire watch what they are pursuing being destroyed.
"Tell me where is Duke Ofei!"
Since this group of mercenaries came to cover Mudd's kidnapping of the princess, they began to retreat after a brief exchange of fire with the mercenaries.
But the angry Karin chased after them and killed nearly half of them before ending the battle completely.
"The Duke suffered minor injuries! He is currently receiving treatment!"
"Tsk, that bastard has gone to the front line."
As soon as the battle started, Duke Oufei rushed to the front line with his subordinates.
Although they were not equipped with muskets, the crossbows prepared in advance were still very lethal in short-range combat.
However, even though they were well prepared, Duke Oufei and his subordinates still suffered considerable losses.
"Molo Oufei, I have something important to tell you."
After she and Xia Ye found Duke Oufei who was undergoing treatment, Claire didn't even care about his injuries - but she could tell just by looking that Duke Oufei had only suffered some scratches.
"Those enemies didn't hurt you, did they?"
"I was almost in trouble. But because of this, I got a very important piece of news."
When hearing that Claire was almost injured, Duke Oufei's expression obviously froze.
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not seem to notice the change in the Duke's expression, but instead looked around at the injured members of the investigation team.
"I just learned from the attackers that a group of outsiders are trying to cause a psychic explosion in the imperial capital. And looking at the current state of you and your people, I guess you are of no use here."
"Someone is going to attack the imperial capital... What do you mean?"
"I will lend you two vehicles. Leave here as soon as possible and regroup. Go to the Imperial Capital and kill all those guys from the Covenant Alliance Star Seeking Brigade."
Duke Ophelia had met Mudd of the Star Seekers before, so he immediately guessed the reason for the attack.
——That person said before that he wanted to see Keliya, it seems that he came here to investigate the situation.
"I understand. I will go to the imperial capital as soon as possible... What are your plans for the future?"
"If they delay here, they may blow up the imperial capital at any time if they find that something is wrong here."
Claire didn't intend to explain too much, so she didn't say anything about the Star Child.
Because Duke Oufei might also be interested in the infinite energy body, so Clary must not leave this unstable factor.
She must find the Star Child before the Star-Seeking Caravan and Duke Booker, and then completely destroy that dangerous thing.
"Understood...Everyone listen up, we will leave the Dukedom of Booker now and head to the Imperial Capital immediately to wipe out the Covenant Alliance Star Seeking Brigade that is in league with the traitors!"
The retainers of Duke Oufei had no doubts about their lord's decision. They quickly bandaged the injured and started to move. Claire also asked the mercenaries to drive two trucks filled with fuel and handed them over to Duke Oufei.
"These are for you. I have prepared a spare supply of fuel... In addition, the Cadians have joined forces with the Twilights, and problems may arise on the southern front at any time."
"...I understand. Princess, please take care."
"I... I don't like you at all, you bastard, but since everyone else is willing to believe you, I won't say anything more."
Although the grudges of the past will not be easily eliminated, Claire can only place her hopes on this young duke who was once like her brother.
Duke Oufei did not say much. He calmly reached out to adjust his glasses, gave Clary a standard aristocratic salute, and then turned and left.
"Your Highness, have you made your decision?"
"Ah... we need to find a way to get rid of Duke Booker and those enemies together."
If this is the only way to solve all the problems at once, then Klia will definitely not hesitate.
In fact, she didn't care about the nobility and the empire at all... Even if this country really collapsed, she would not shed a tear because she had suffered cruel treatment before.
But she didn't want Aarons, who had finally achieved a stable life, to travel around the world with her.
"In that case, we must first prepare to collect magic source stones. The critical mass that can trigger a psychic explosion is about five tons, so the initial target should be a mine or a warehouse."
"Competing with that infiltration team for resources... so be it."
……
When Karin and Kuran finished cleaning the battlefield and returned to the base building, they realized how critical the situation was.
The enemy actually planned to kidnap Her Royal Highness the Princess through an attack - if it weren't for Xia Ye, something really bad would have happened today.
"So we have to change our plans now... We have to find the Star Child before anyone else."
"Wow, big boss... you should ask the young master to help."
"You want to pay more, right? Sure."
Of course Kuran knew that Aarons would not come, he just felt that his work was becoming more and more difficult.
Although he was just a mercenary, he was not the kind of person who would do anything to make money. He was so persistent in helping Claire because he felt it was safer to follow her.
The situation in the Empire is now quite worrying - the internal traitors are now clearly ahead of everyone, and the Cadians have also secretly begun to invade the Empire.
Under this situation, perhaps only Aarons and Klia, who have a lot of good cards in their hands, have a chance to defeat their opponents.
"The next plan is to grab at least five tons... no, ten tons of magic source stones before the enemy's infiltration troops destroy the magic source stone reserves in the dukedom."
"You want this amount?! Oh no, we have a truck... I see."
"The psychic pollution in the duchy will probably last for another twenty days. We must complete the collection mission before the pollution ends."
Once the pervasive psychic energy completely dissipates, the Duke's communication with the outside world will be restored immediately. After learning of Mudd's failure, the Star Seekers will most likely immediately activate the backup plan.
By then, the empire would really be doomed.
"But Boss, what are you going to do with all these magic source stones?"
"——Blow up all the guys who are hostile to us."
