Chapter 592: Chapter 461 As an NPC, It’s Quite Reasonable for Me to Work on the Plot Planning, Right?

Shilu Continent, Southern Black Marsh Kingdom, atop the red clay of Sekapus Kingdom.

"Fierce heat," Fulin Mueen gazed toward the distant Dragon Blood Forest.

The vicious sunlight of the Shilu Continent sapped her strength, leaving her dizzy and lightheaded, and the cracked lips reminded her that she hadn’t had water for a while, her tongue sore from the abrasion.

"Can we only retreat to there?" she turned her head to look at the man beside her.

Louis Sekapus, also the sixteenth son of the King of Sekapus, Prince sixteen didn’t possess the burly body like the other princes, nor the glorious hair, and even a few years ago when all the Old Nobility would go mad upon contact with Supernatural Power, Prince sixteen had stayed quite normal.

After that, the way people looked at King Fastbow Sekapus bore an indecipherable meaning—why didn’t a prince have the Old Nobility’s curse? Surely it wasn’t because his biological mother had cuckolded the king.

Although Prince Louis was ordinary in many aspects, over the years he had managed to accumulate some capabilities. Now, as the Sekapus Kingdom had fallen to the army of Rand Kingdom and the Giant King City Joent had been lost, Prince Louis had no choice but to take up the heavy responsibility of a commanding general on the eve of war.

"Yes, it has Sekapus’s last Wisdom Altar. Perhaps the Wisdom God can save us at the last moment." Prince Louis perfectly inherited the advantages of his maid mother, possessing a delicate and tender woman’s face, with a teardrop mole at his eyelid.

Fulin shifted her gaze from his face; in another place, she wouldn’t have minded spending money to maintain him, to have him sob beneath her.

But not this time; she had to ponder how she could recover a sliver of life. Escape was her top option in her mind. Before taking the commission from Sekapus Kingdom, Fulin had never imagined the enemy would possess such overwhelming superiority that nearly all the inheritance she got from her "father" was close to breaking apart.

Looking back at her own army, the Soldiers in "Moonlight" style armor moved differently than those of the Sekapus Kingdom, more orderly, more powerful, but equally more bloodthirsty.

This was the unique "inheritance" of Fulin; her several brothers had also received other inheritances.

But the strong soldiers crumbled like eggshells against the transcendent soldiers from Rand Kingdom, whether it was numbers, individual strength, or weaponry, the enemy was on a completely different level than her own.

While her side still relied on packhorses and manpower for supplies, the enemy could already use some kind of barrel to produce weapons, food, even tents.

There was no need for logistics, as each person could be their own logistics. Alone or in tandem, they could form an army.

"The pay you offered is only enough for us to escort you to, hmm..." Fulin checked the sheepskin scroll map, her calloused finger sliding across it, ultimately tapping a location, creating a dip in the wrinkled scroll, "this fork in the road, then you head to Dragon Blood Forest, we head south."

That’s right, that was it, and then everyone would go their separate ways.

She had no interest in wading further into this murky water.

"I can pay more," Louis said, "And you have no other choices."

His confident expression made Fulin hesitate.

"What did you see?" Fulin knew Louis had wizards by his side, those wizards who couldn’t bear or carry but were superb at manipulating animals, controlling various birds to monitor enemies from the sky.

Thanks to such juggling trick-like magic, Louis had been able to cling to life until now.

"They’ve already encircled us, both Dragon Blood Forest and Bal Forest." Louis’s handsome face turned toward Fulin, "To conquer Sekapus Kingdom as quickly as possible, the Golden Queen has already issued an order to take no prisoners."

"We are from Moonlight Kingdom." Fulin, though skeptical of this claim, dared not risk everything she had on a gamble.

"Moonlight Kingdom mercenaries? Moonlight Kingdom is also part of Shilu Continent’s map." Louis pinpointed the ambition of the ’Golden Queen’ Rania Hedwin with a single comment.

During this period, the expansive wars waged by Rand Kingdom had sparked many speculations; yet, until now, none dared to wildly guess the true motives, or rather, everyone had an idea but none wished to admit it.

It wasn’t just national power, nor was it about conquering opposing kingdoms to collect taxes, to collect ransoms, it was about sweeping through the lands, uniting the continent.

Fulin decided to retract her earlier opinion; the man before her was not mediocre. He inherited from his mother that disagreeable pettiness that was hard to like.

But she had no other options, for her identity dictated that she couldn’t surrender as an ordinary mercenary, just as Sixteenth Prince Louis Sekapus was only able to flee and not surrender, surrender was not an option for her either.

She could only retreat to Dragon Blood Forest alongside the remaining forces of Sekapus Kingdom and then hope there was a labyrinth capable of trapping the enemy within, or that the gods Louis spoke of, the Wisdom God or the God of Giants, truly existed.

Leaving the red clay, entering Dragon Blood Forest, the air suddenly turned moist.

They moved intermittently until Louis said, "Found it," which cost them more time.

"Found it?" Fulin looked over, it was a brand-new altar, untouched by time and far from decrepit, almost as if someone had hastily erected it while she wasn’t paying attention.
