The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"Okay, Princess, you should be feeling better now, right?"

After Karin transferred her stored spiritual power into Klia's body, the spider cherry that had suddenly flown into the sky also returned to the ground.

Xia Ye had already realized what they had just done in private, but she did not take the initiative to ask.

"Much better...thank you Sister Karin."

"It's okay, but Your Highness, given your current physical condition, it would be best for you to go back and let Teacher Jiangyue take a look as soon as possible."

After getting support from Karin, Klia temporarily returned to normal.

But the situation has also made others realize that their time may indeed be running out.

"Then, our next mission is only one... Go to the imperial capital, see the emperor for the last time, and then evacuate."

Of course, Keliya knew that she had lost the initiative, so the best option now was to return to the border as soon as possible.

Choosing to meet the emperor was just a last attempt to find clues.

"In that case, everyone, please continue to prepare. Ms. Karin, please follow me."

"OK, got it."

After giving a wink to his companions, Xia Ye took the initiative to walk to a position away from the crowd.

After a brief exchange with Zhuying, Karin followed her.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll just ask directly. What did you let Miss Zhuying see just now?"

"It's the earth veins. The earth veins in this large area were suddenly blocked just now, and the princess's physical condition suddenly deteriorated. It is very likely that she was affected by this phenomenon."

"……Influence?"

Of course Xia Ye knew what the earth veins were - she had also learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge when traveling around the continent.

Although she herself could not sense the existence of the earth veins, Karin, who had just completed the advancement, should have gained abilities related to it.

"It's too complicated to explain, so I'll just keep it simple - what I've gained is the ability to devour and control other powers, so I can sense the status of the earth veins, but that's all."

"what do you mean?"

"First, someone has interfered with the normal flow of the earth veins in some way. I guess it was probably done by the Star Seeking Group. Secondly, the princess's physical condition was directly affected by the earth veins... Do you know what this means?"

When Xia Ye examined Keliya just now, he didn't find any problems with her body.

But Karin, who has gained new powers, seems to have seen through some hidden secrets.

"I think I understand."

"Although it's just speculation now, the emperor should have the answer... Let's go."

After a brief question-and-answer session, Karin and Xia Ye returned to Keliya together.

Her Royal Highness the Princess still seems a little depressed, but her body is fine for now.

"Everyone else is ready, Sister Xia Ye, I still have to trouble you to drive."

"No problem. Miss Karin, please take good care of His Highness. We are leaving now."

After a simple adjustment, the truck and the special off-road vehicle carrying the mercenaries headed towards the imperial capital at full speed.

But when they crossed the not-so-vast plain and approached the imperial capital, they immediately encountered an unexpected and serious situation.

……

"What the hell is going on?! Boss! Both sides are regular troops of the empire!"

"I know! These people are the Imperial Guards and... the Second Legion of the Southern Front!? How come these people are here..."

When the outline of the imperial capital became visible on the distant horizon, Klia and her group suffered an unexpected long-range attack.

The magic array cannon fired from the direction of the imperial capital almost hit the larger truck. If Karin had not released a huge amount of spiritual power in time to offset the incoming level 4 magic, the mercenary group would probably have suffered heavy damage by now.

When they got closer, they were surprised to find that there were two armies fighting outside the imperial capital - and the stronger side was actually the Second Legion that was supposed to be guarding the southern front.

What on earth is going on here?

"We can't enter the city in this situation! Boss, let me contact the Royal Guards first!"

"There's no other way... Let's go to the Guards first!"

In this chaotic situation, Kuran's connections once again played a key role.

After the SUV and two trucks forced their way into the battlefield, they were immediately attacked by both sides. However, after Kulan contacted his acquaintances in time, the guards stopped attacking them.

While running on the battlefield, Klia also briefly assessed the current battle situation.

"The Second Legion has not yet breached the Imperial Capital... but the Imperial Guards can't hold out like this."

"I remember you once said that the Second Legion was directly under the Second Prince. Can we understand this as the Second Prince betraying the Empire now?"

"He must have heard that his father was seriously ill and wanted to forcibly ascend the throne before anyone else..."

Unlike the eldest prince who has no fighting ability, the second prince is a martial artist with level five strength. In the past ten years, he has been stationed in the south, guarding against the invasion of the Sunset Kingdom with the support of Duke Booker.

But now, he led his army to besiege the imperial capital.

"We'll talk about the details after we enter the city...Please sit tight, Princess. We have to force our way into the city."

Although the Guards were no longer attacking them, the magic of the Second Legion was still flying towards them. Just before they were about to break through the Guards' defense line, the off-road vehicle that Cliya and the others were riding in was directly hit by a flint magic that Karin had not noticed, and was instantly blown into the sky.

Fortunately, Xia Ye, who had already noticed the attack, pulled Keliya out of the car in advance.

"Princess! I'm sorry, I couldn't block all the magic..."

"Huh...we'll talk about these things later!"

After the mercenaries' truck successfully broke into the Royal Guards' defense line, Klia and her group finally got a chance to catch their breath.

But soon, the fully armed guards surrounded them vigilantly.

"Intruder! Identify yourself immediately!"

"I am——"

"Put down your weapons! These people are Her Royal Highness the Princess and her attendants!"

Before Claire could give her name, a female knight wearing silver-white armor but without a helmet, who looked to be in her thirties, took the initiative to stop the soldiers' rude behavior.

At this time, Kulan, who had hurried over, finally ran to the side of Klia and the others.

"Deputy Commander Noral! Long time no see... Sorry I don't have time to explain in detail. Your Highness the Princess must go see His Majesty as soon as possible!"

"It's really you, Kuran... Well, we'll tell you on the way if you have any reason! Team 23, follow me to protect Her Highness the Princess into the city!"

In such a chaotic situation, the Guards had no way to confirm Claire's true identity.

But Kuran's personal relationship with the female deputy legion commander became the best pass.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Kuran's debt of love could actually help."

Xia Ye, who saw through the mystery at a glance, made a sharp comment regardless of the occasion.
