Chapter 1040: Chapter 863: Prince Assassination of the Mermaid

Ten Lords Chat Group.

After watching ten minutes of lively broadcast from Black Iron City, and then seeing Black Iron Police enter the Count’s Mansion and escort dozens of thief players out in shackles, the Ten Lords were stunned: "Just like that?"

Raphael snorted coldly: "It seems that even after a month, we can’t expect anything from Curry and Baka."

Gabriel snorted: "This Fire Smoke Illusion Realm must be Alpha’s skill, intended to cover his infiltration, and it’s still worth expecting..."

Raphael laughed: "Maybe when Sela returns to visit the Count’s Mansion, something will be discovered."

Gabriel laughed: "So envious of Sela, she’s been dizzy from Fak several times..."

Raphael laughed: "She couldn’t resist staying up for two nights straight, now her state should be akin to sleepwalking, dreaming of Fak."

Metatron said: "That’s right, under extreme fatigue, sleepwalking can occur, like certain troops during extreme marches who end up sleepwalking while standing. Sela’s situation is a rare study topic..."

...

At this time, after two or three hours of full-speed navigation, the Grand Prince’s warship where Sariel and the four City Beauties reside already saw Gem City from high in the sky.

Eve said: "I shouldn’t trouble the lords anymore, I can return from this distance."

The Grand Prince smiled: "Very well, any closer and we might be discovered, then the Bronze City’s airship won’t sell well."

The Second, Third, and Fifth princes also bid farewell: "Ladies, see you at the next ball..."

Sariel could hardly endure these princes’ chatter and flaunting along the way, eager to leave quickly.

But looking back, those four warships were already silent and out of sight.

Sariel was perplexed: "Everyone, these are four airships, and this journey consumed a considerable amount of Crystal Core energy, was it really just to send four City Beauties back?"

Raphael laughed: "City Beauties deserve such treatment. Just like high-value NPCs immigrating to the Empire, nearby imperial cruises will specifically dock to pick them up."

Sariel said: "Just one is enough!"

Raphael said: "It’s obviously the princes’ competitive nature."

Gabriel said: "Isn’t there a possibility these four princes are secretly passing by to assassinate the Mermaid?"

Sariel was suddenly startled: "With these four princes’ abilities, it’s very possible!"

Gabriel said: "But given their status, they can’t appear personally, they must be controlling puppets!"

Metatron also added: "If that’s the case, they can fully utilize the warships’ power to recharge these puppets, and the closer they are, the better the control, which explains why they brought the ships close to Gem City; these warships should not have moved away."

Sariel was a bit flustered: "If the puppets are powered by the warships, how strong would they be?"

Just then, Remia said: "Eve, there’s no Guardian God in the city now, let’s help with the defense."

Sariel was pleased: "That’s ideal, as long as the four City Beauties aid in defense, there’s no issue countering puppet assassination!"

Eve was embarrassed: "But we’ve been away for so long, isn’t this inappropriate?"

Fafnir laughed: "But going back like this is even less appropriate."

Eve was moved: "Thank you all, it’s taking a toll on everyone with the matters of Gem City."

Remia sighed: "It’s not about Gem City, it’s because you’re our good sister..."

Frankly, Sariel couldn’t bear the princes’ boasting, nor listen to these women talk about sisterhood, it’s nauseating...

Finally, the group of five flew into Gem City’s main city range and saw various NPC Wild Mages hunting outside the city, then greeting: "Hello City Beauty ladies!"

To show off, these Wild Mages specifically held back Mana to fire various big fireworks.

Sariel laughed to herself, wanting them to quickly consume.

As expected, the steward came to report: "Gentlemen, the War Chess Simulation System has calculated that the defending mages’ Mana is below depletion line, best siege time, five minutes hence."

Uriel was getting impatient: "So Sariel, start?"

Sariel thought for a moment: "Uriel, can you communicate with Judias, if the princes’ assassination occurs, for him to attack the Fourth Prince?"

Uriel sighed: "He’s already entered the Creation Furnace of the Demon God Hall, can’t communicate. You should directly tell your darling Mermaid, let her be cautious—or, better yet, since she’s not yet appointed by the Church, bears no responsibility, just use the Teleportation Array to retreat."

Sariel said irritably: "This is a chance for faith, how can I retreat!"

But admittedly, Uriel’s suggestion was an option.

Sariel still found the Mermaid directing from the city wall: "Lord of the Divine Throne, I returned from the Arctic, unfortunately, couldn’t rescue Judias."

The Mermaid laughed heartily: "How’s it unfortunate?"

Sariel was anxious, before all these Astrologer Old Lady with sharp ears and eyes, one should put on a show.

Forget it, no time for pretenses.

Sariel went straight to the matter, but couldn’t openly mention princes: "Lady Helen, we came back aboard the four imperial princes’ airships, I have a feeling of unease..."

The Mermaid was astonished: "Are the four princes very strong?"

Sariel was relieved, darling’s intelligence always captures the key points: "Extremely strong! Talent surpasses the City Beauties, individual strength actually surpasses them, if coupled with assistance from their warships, it’d be hard to describe their strength."
