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

The investigation team brought by Duke Oufei was actually also affected.

However, they seemed to have been prepared for this. Not only did all the combatants quickly change into full-coverage protective clothing, they even took out a batch of special weapons.

Xia Ye was of course very curious about this, so she took the initiative to find Duke Oufei who had just finished an emergency meeting.

As for this Aries beauty with obvious extraordinary features, Duke Oufei indeed regarded her as the princess's attendant.

"Your Excellency the Duke, do you have time to answer a few questions for me? It is not convenient for Her Royal Highness the Princess to talk to you in person right now."

"Heh, Your Highness probably doesn't want to see me. It's okay, just ask if you have any questions."

Duke Oufei, who still seemed quite indifferent on the surface, was actually obviously accommodating Claire's willfulness.

"But before I answer your question, please tell me, has the relationship between Marquis Aarons and Her Royal Highness the Princess changed?"

"No, everything that happened before was within our plan."

"That's good. I know what you want to ask, so I'll just tell you straight away - I actually participated in the design of this psychic energy dispersion system."

Could it be that Duke Booker and Duke Ophir are in the same group?

No, it was probably just an ordinary technology transaction. Duke Oufei inherited many technological achievements from his deceased wife, so it was normal for him to come up with such a special design.

"This system was originally designed to be used in specific military areas to disrupt the enemy's marching routes or prevent reconnaissance. But Duke Booker should have buried the system directly in the psychic pipelines in various places, so the spiritual power covered the entire dukedom so quickly."

"You don't need to explain the principle in detail. I just want to know what benefits Duke Booker has gained by doing this?"

"Now everyone in the Dukedom has become a mortal. So what follows will be a war among ordinary people."

Although Xia Ye and the others were not affected, Keliya and Kuran had lost their combat effectiveness.

Without fighting spirit and magic, ordinary swords and bows and arrows can cause real harm to people. If Duke Booker has prepared other weapons for this, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

"The fact that Duke Booker did this only shows that the enemy has already been active in his territory. Although my original plan was to get rid of him before he started to act, it seems that we still have to help him first."

It seems that Duke Oufei also had a plan in advance - after thinking about it for a while, Xia Ye decided to stay here for the time being and take the opportunity to deal with the hidden dangers of the empire.

Only by eliminating the source of the threat can the pressure on Aarons be relieved.

"I understand. Thank you for your answer, Your Excellency the Duke."

"I will give you some weapons and protective gear suitable for this environment later, so that your mercenary group can recover a certain level of combat effectiveness. Although Duke Booker will not target us for the time being, the enemy may not."

The traitors will certainly not stop at killing just Duke Booker. If they can get rid of the princess and Duke Ophelia at the same time, the aristocratic power of the empire will suffer a severe blow.

If that person continues to cooperate with foreign enemies, perhaps even the empire itself will change its flag.

"So, do you know who the enemy is?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe it's a great noble, or maybe it's a coalition of many nobles. Anyway, the other party must be powerful enough to make Duke Booker use such a radical strategy."

Duke Oufei himself was actually somewhat suspicious, but Xia Ye felt that he would not do such a thing.

"I will pass this information on to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"I will do my best to support you... Please take good care of her."

This man is indeed the best backup on his side - even if this alliance is only temporary, there is no need to worry too much now.

……

"——That's all. Duke Ophir has been prepared for this situation."

"Humph, that guy always liked to make excessive preparations beforehand... Never mind. Mr. Kuran, you have heard what Sister Xia Ye said just now, right?"

"Of course we'd like to have free weapons and armor, but even if we equip ourselves with those things, our combat effectiveness is still not good enough..."

Because the mercenaries who had lost their combat effectiveness had nowhere to go, Kuran decided to continue following Klia.

And the princess certainly would not refuse the joining of these people - after all, those honorary nobles who had previously joined the Chamber of Commerce had already abandoned their cars and fled.

"You don't need to fight with others, just be truck drivers. Those trucks may be very useful at critical moments, so there must be drivers on standby at all times."

"Tsk... Boss, can you give us a car after this is over?"

"It's okay to give them all to you. After all, they are not valuable things."

Kuran was deeply moved by Klia's magnanimity, so the mercenary leader immediately accepted the new mission.

"Sister Karin, I'll leave all the battle matters to you. As for Miss Zhuying, please go and deliver a letter to your husband later."

"No problem, but Miss Xia Ye, are you okay?"

"There's still plenty of time, don't worry. I'll find a replacement when it really gets too late."

Xia Ye needs to regularly devour negative emotions and memories of humans in order to maintain her mental stability, and she can replenish these things at any time when she is with Aarons.

But after arriving here, it is not easy to find suitable prey.

"Then, big boss, I'll let the team members practice driving first. If you need anything, just call me anytime."

Even without his powers, Kuran is still a pretty reliable guy.

However, Xia Ye was not worried about whether the mercenaries would be in trouble, but was more concerned about a big problem that had not yet been solved.

"Your Highness, how is your health?"

"Not good... The spiritual power has completely merged with my body. Even if I leave here, I'm afraid I won't be able to use any magic or fighting spirit anymore."

"Your Highness is completely relying on that collar to prevent his head from being eroded by spiritual energy. If the collar fails... Your Highness' life may be in danger."

Karin's guess was not alarmist - even Spider Sakura couldn't figure out what was wrong with Claire's body.

If any unexpected problems arise at this time, it might really lead to big trouble that cannot be solved.

"We'll talk about the treatment when we get home. For now, Your Highness will temporarily stay in the rear and direct our actions. Miss Karin, I will be responsible for protecting Your Highness."

"Me and this stinky spider are always ready to fight, right?"

Although the pervasive spiritual power has turned all humans into mortals, Karin and Zhuying's strength will not be weakened by such a thing.

Now they are the ones who can subvert the rules.
