The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 267 Race against time
After the flying Spider Sakura quickly exchanged information between Clary and Aarons, Her Royal Highness the Princess made a decision immediately.
"My husband has made his decision... I have to do what I can."
——The two people have the same goal.
Klia wants to stop the Star Seeking Brigade, which is cooperating with traitors, from destroying the imperial capital, while Aarons wants to block external interference.
They were all trying to weaken the power of the enemy behind the scenes and buy time for the empire and themselves to maneuver.
"So we have to be responsible for stopping the monster! Since it has inherited Duke Booker's obsession... then I must give it a ride!"
Although Duke Booker thinks he is a chess player, he is actually just a chess piece being used.
Although he created a powerful monster and used a very aggressive strategy to eliminate the enemy's vanguard, he ultimately stopped there.
If he hadn't been so determined to kill himself, he wouldn't have ended up like this... No, his mind might have been manipulated by someone a long time ago.
"Sister Xia Ye, let's catch up now. With that guy's flying speed, we should be able to stop it before it reaches us!"
"Are there other enemies in the imperial capital, Your Highness? We might be attacked from both sides."
"I know... I can only hope that bastard Moruo can help!"
The unidentified enemy is inside the Imperial City, and the Star-Seeking Brigade that intends to blow up the Imperial City and awaken the Child of the Star may have already made their arrangements.
But if the demon beast really reached the imperial capital, and started to destroy indiscriminately based on Duke Booker's obsession, then the imperial capital would be completely destroyed without the enemy having to take any action.
So I must find a way to stop the monster.
"I understand. Captain Kulan, the next mission is very dangerous. You can choose to quit. If you quit, take the letter from His Highness to the border to find Earl Jiangyue to claim your reward."
Facing an enemy of that level, the alien mercenaries were indeed of little use - but the handsome captain shook his head decisively and rejected Xia Ye's proposal.
"We have already done so much with you. It would be unethical to run away now. Director Xia Ye, we will not quit."
"As long as you don't regret it - please ask Ms. Karin and Ms. Zhuying to work out a battle plan as soon as possible. We must get rid of this guy before he destroys more things."
This request may sound a bit unreasonable, but for Karin and Zhuying, it is actually not particularly difficult.
"…Hey, stinky spider, you stayed up there for so long just now, is there something else?"
However, Karin quietly started a conversation with the Spider Sakura that was flying beside the car. Although others did not have a very accurate idea of the Spider Sakura's speed, Karin was quite sensitive about it.
It was obvious that Zhuying didn't just communicate with Aarons just now, she must have done something else.
"Answer. The details need to be kept confidential according to the agreement, but I can reveal one thing - the master's safety will not be a problem."
"Tsk... Never mind. That's fine. Have you figured out how to deal with that monster?"
"Honestly. The opponent is too large, there is no sure-fire way."
——This is indeed a tricky question.
The huge body like a battleship and the numerous tentacles that can emit psychic beams at will mean that the other party possesses a powerful force beyond common sense.
"Suggestion. The opponent's body is made up of low-level magical beasts, and its life state is not stable. If it lasts for more than ten days, its body structure will naturally disintegrate."
"Ten days... How many days does it take for it to fly to the Imperial Capital?"
"Estimated. About five days."
To hold that thing off outside the imperial capital for five days? This is too outrageous!
It’s not that Karin lacks confidence in her own abilities, but this kind of mission is indeed somewhat difficult - even if she merges with Spider Sakura, they cannot guarantee that they can stop the enemy.
"Your Highness, is there anyone you can rely on in the imperial capital?"
"I'm afraid the only person I can trust is Morlo Ophi... Contact him as soon as you leave the Dukedom!"
The imperial capital is now most likely under the control of the enemy. The only person Claire can rely on is Duke Oufei, who is trusted by Aarons.
But does that person really have the ability to save the situation?
……
Duke Oufei had arrived in the imperial capital three days ago.
Because he was aware of the existence of the enemy, his actions were quite low-key - not only did he require all his confidants to disguise themselves, he also dressed himself as a traveling merchant.
But after entering the imperial capital, he immediately noticed something strange.
“…Are you a soldier?”
When walking on the street, he often met some strange people. Although these people were dressed like civilians, the aura they exuded was very much like that of active military personnel.
The Imperial Capital Guards have not made any unplanned moves recently, so where did these people come from?
A rumor he heard from the tavern later made him even more alert.
——The emperor seemed to be suffering from an acute illness.
"I heard from someone I know that the Second Prince in the South can't sit still any longer and is leading his men to the Imperial Capital."
"Your Majesty has only been absent for a dozen days. Isn't this normal?"
"What do you know? It's very abnormal for such news to be spread... In the past, when His Majesty didn't leave the palace for a month, no one dared to say that he was in trouble."
What these people said was indeed correct... If nothing really happened to the emperor, such rumors would never have spread among the people.
But I need to hide my whereabouts, and now I can't just enter the palace to confirm the situation.
"…How's your investigation going?"
[Your Excellency the Duke, although we have found several people related to the Star Seeking Brigade, they do not know where the core members of the brigade are.]
"It's too late."
The enemy might have completed their preparations and withdrawn from the imperial capital long ago.
But there are still some doubts about this matter - the Star Seeking Group wants to cause a psychic explosion in the imperial capital just to awaken the Star Child hidden in the empire. So what benefits can the person who cooperates with them get from this matter?
Was it purely to kill the emperor and the residents? No, although the hidden enemy openly wanted to overthrow the existing order, he must have desires in his heart.
"…Why would you want to use such an extreme method to blow up the imperial capital?"
After quickly integrating the existing information in his mind, the young Duke of Oufei once again gave orders to his subordinates.
"Immediately investigate the situation on the southern front and the Second Prince's movements, and send a few more people to try to contact Lingqing Martial God... I have a bad feeling."
