Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Are You Really Professional? (Please Follow)

Lette looked in the direction Lilith pointed, and sure enough!

Two flags fluttered in the camp ahead, one belonging to the First Empire, and the other was a cream-colored flag embroidered with a golden rose.

"Strange..."

Lette furrowed his brow and looked puzzled. Emily couldn’t help but ask.

"What’s wrong?"

"I don’t sense Vanessa’s Life Energy. The others are not very strong. There’s one at the initial Holy Rank, four at the fifth level, and the remaining thirty are at the fourth level."

"That’s not strong! What a terrifying setup! Many of the Empire’s Royal Guard Knight Orders aren’t even this level!"

Lette shook his head, "When Vanessa left the Holy City back then, she was the highest among the other nine, just a step away from the Holy Rank."

Additionally, her talent was extraordinarily high; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been exceptionally considered as one of the Apprentice Saintesses.

It’s important to know, royal family members of various countries cannot hold positions in the church’s upper echelons, a rule set by the First Pope.

According to my calculation, she should be at least in the Late Holy level by now, or already reaching the threshold of the Legendary Realm."

Emily immediately backed off, "Are the three of us really going to rob a Knight Order with such a setup? Is it that you haven’t woken up, or is it me who hasn’t woken up?"

Lilith impatiently shook Lette, "Alright, alright. Isn’t it better that she’s not around? It reduces the risk of being recognized.

Anyway, she’s not your target. Let’s quickly finish this so we can go back and catch a nap."

Lette nodded slightly, "Alright, in a while, we’ll head out. I’ll handle the frontal firepower suppression, Emily, you are in charge of sabotaging their carriages and supply lines!"

"Wait a minute! Aren’t we robbing them? Shouldn’t we be taking stuff? Why is it just destruction now?

If we’re only going to destroy things, why don’t we just ambush them instead?"

Lette firmly rejected this proposal, "I, Lette, have always been fair and aboveboard, how could I do something as underhanded as an ambush?"

"So robbery is fair and aboveboard? It’s dignified?! Can your elusive moral baseline stop being so flexible!"

Lilith grabbed the indignant Emily, "Don’t take him seriously, or you’ll get sucked into his logic and end up tying your own brain in knots.

Let him do whatever he wants, we just need to sit back and watch. Then, when he screws up, we can mock him to our heart’s content."

A single statement turned on the lights for Emily, who grabbed Lilith’s hand with lit-up eyes.

"Yes! That makes sense!"

Seeing the two women reach a consensus, Lette couldn’t help but roll his eyes, then dragged them to the gate of the Holy Rose Female Knight Order’s camp.

Emily broke free of Lette’s hand and tidied up her clothes, "So then, what’s your next move?"

Only to see Lette call forth Light and Flame Magic Rings, then conjured a fireball that he lobbed into the air over the camp.

BOOM!

As the fireball exploded like fireworks, the entire camp was illuminated.

Under Emily’s bewildered gaze, Lette took a deep breath and screamed at the camp!

"Robbery!!! Is anyone still breathing?! Get out here!!!"

The sound echoed in the camp, followed closely by the heavy footsteps and the clashing of heavy armor.

In less than thirty seconds after Lette’s Fireball Technique exploded, thirty-six Female Holy Knights from the Holy Rose Knights were fully armed with Holy Shield Battle Spears, sternly ready at the entrance of the camp.

Lette was a little surprised, "Wow... Do these people sleep in their armor at night?"

The leading Female Knight pointed her spear, "Who are you! What do you want!"

"Haha! Listen up! We are three heinous robbers, and we’re here to rob you today!"

The Female Knight looked confused, "Ro-robbers?"

"Yes! Cars pass paving roads! Horses pass grazing grass! Paying tolls is your duty!"

However, after Lette shouted his business slogan, the Holy Rose Knight Order across the way fell into a bizarre silence.

Lette froze in place, then slowly leaned back.

"What’s going on, why aren’t they reacting? Did I say something wrong?"

Emily shook her head repeatedly clutching her magic wand, "Don’t ask me! Aren’t you the experts?"

Lilith also had a furrowed brow, "Shouldn’t be wrong... why don’t you try saying something different?"

"Yes, yes! Ahem!"

Lette assumed the same pose again, angrily shouting, "This mountain is mine! This tree I planted! To pass this way, leave traveling wealth!"

Yet, after shouting the slogan, the other side still maintained that eerie silence.

Lette started to lose it, subtly leaning back again, "What’s the deal, this doesn’t work either? Why aren’t they talking?"

Emily scratched her head, "I’ve neither robbed nor been robbed... but the lines sound fine to me."

"The atmosphere is really awkward here, hey! Are they looking at me, have they started laughing? Is my face red?"

"Don’t be nervous. You’re wearing a mask!"

At this moment, the leading Female Knight finally spoke.

"Um, you’re robbers, right? You’re collecting tolls, but... we don’t actually intend to pass through, at least not now.

If you’re collecting tolls, shouldn’t you wait until we hit the road tomorrow?"

The air went silent instantly, neither the robbers nor the ones being robbed uttered a word.

In this extremely embarrassing situation, Lette suddenly turned around and walked back. Then he turned back and briskly walked up, assuming the same posture as before.

"Haha! Listen up! We are three heinous robbers, and we’re here to rob you today!"

Emily was dumbfounded, "What does this mean, pretending the previous events didn’t happen, and starting all over again from scratch?

Have some shame!"

Lilith sincerely gave a thumbs up, "Impressive, even after all the time we’ve spent together, you continually redefine what it means to have an extraordinarily high psychological resilience."

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Female Knight Order was very cooperative.

"So, heinous robbers! I’m Helen Crowell, Vice Captain of the Holy Rose Knights!"

Lette leaned back excitedly, "Hey! This girl turned out to be a nice person! Helped us out of the awkward spot!"

Emily had a face full of disdain, "It’s not us! It’s you! And, she’s a Holy Knight, they are inherently good people!

Mr. Heinous Robber! Get on with it! Don’t waste her good intentions!"

Lette quickly stood up straight but fell into silence. Seeing this, Emily quickly leaned in.

"Say something!"

"Ah... since the usual routine stop working, I haven’t figured out what to say next."

"... Are you really pros?"

Fortunately, at this time, Vice Captain Helen spoke again, "Excuse me, Mr. Robber... sir, what exactly do you intend to rob?"

"Ah, yes, yes! We must rob something!"

Lette stroked his chin, then fell silent again. Seeing this, Emily was about to collapse.

"You should say something!"

"Stop yelling! If toll collection is a no-go, I’m wondering what to rob!"

"I told you to think of this ahead of time! You didn’t listen! How about now! Are you really experts? I shouldn’t believe a word you say!"

"Rob beauty!"

Lilith stepped up in the crisis, "We want! To rob beauty!"

Unexpectedly, Helen chuckled, "Miss Lilith still loves to joke around. Is it true? Lord Lette, do you intend to rob beauty?

If you do, Her Highness Joanna would surely be heartbroken. But our Princess just might have a chance."
