Chapter 166: Chapter 150: Earned the Right to Command, and The Goddess of Luck Finally Took Off Her Long Dress

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“The Templar City must have come here under Jones’ protection because of the artifact marks on the Third Princess… This time, it’s too sloppy.

“We’ve already revealed our position once, and now we still have three hours to turn back…”

As Richard’s thoughts spun, he felt the pressure on his face.

Three hours later, everyone would attack them.

His eyelids twitched when he taught of the scene of the angels and dragons swarming over.

Ferguson, whose magic runes on his forehead were extremely eye-catching, raised its head and looked around.

“This is the forest on the west side of the city. It’s only 10 kilometers away from the city. We have to leave immediately.”

As soon as he finished speaking, it waved its hand. A special energy surged out of its body and enveloped Richard and the dwarf Knowles beside Ferguson.

The Concealment Power directly covered the traces of the three people.

Their bodies and breaths starkly disappeared.

The effect of using this skill was sublimely sturdy with the properties of Ferguson’s body.

Richard was not in the mood to think about this at the moment. He lowered his head and looked at the Third Princess sleeping in his arms.

He said slowly.

“We need a more detailed plan… This time, we are in big trouble!”

Knowles raised its head and said in confusion.

“What trouble? President Jones is stalling time for us inside. And Ferguson, that idiot, has Concealment Power to hide his aura. Can those lowly bastards from the Templar City still find us?”

Richard looked at the dwarf and shook his head.

“The sacred artifact of the Templar City just locked onto the Third Princess, not President Jones!

“The artifact left a trace in her soul.

“This will expose her aura every three hours. And after ten times, it will dissipate…

“In other words, this process will last for 30 hours.”

‘Hiss!’

These words sent chills down their spines.

Every three hours…? Does this mean their Concealment Power would be ineffective?

And the consequence of this was the entire Templar City would hunt them down!

Initially, they were fearless because the Templar City was in the open while the Scarlet Council was in the dark, giving them more room to maneuver.

But now, putting everything in the light highlighted the gap between the two sides.

When Richard thought about the scene of thousands of templar dragoons and angels chasing after them, even the neurotic dwarf Knowles felt its mouth dry.

The two sides were not on the same level at all…

Unless Jones, the mysterious Big Boss, is willing to let the armies of the dimensional plane come to support them, they would encounter a terrible disaster.

“Is this news true?”

Richard nodded. “There’s no mistake…”

His tone was calm, but there was an unquestionable certainty.

The two instantly fell silent.

Based on Richard’s previous performance, there was no need to doubt his words.

Ferguson took a deep breath, and a subtle hint of anxiety appeared in its eyes.

“If it’s just the enemy chasing us, I have a hundred ways to escape.

“But it will be fatal to us if we expose the Third Princess’ location every three hours…”

The Third Princess was the core of the Templar City. The plan they had been plotting for countless years would collapse without her.

However, it was difficult to escape with the Third Princess under the pursuit of the entire Oath of Light faction…

The current Templar City did not only have humans, elves, dwarves, and churches. These forces were equally powerful and had many more tricks up their sleeves.

This was not the end. Richard’s subsequent sentence chilled both of their hearts.

“After the news of the Third Princess’ disappearance spread, Covenant of Evil spies will ultimately send it back.

“Those dark beings will be glad to see the Third Princess, who commanded the Templar City, fall.

“At that time, we may not only have to face the enemies of the Oath of Light, but the Covenant of Evil will also be our enemy!”

He had just taken some time to look at the [Forum Chat]. The players of the Covenant of Evil had also received a mission.

However, unlike the Oath of Light faction’s mission to find the princess, their mission was — Hunt.

This shattered his initial plan to set himself on fire and go to the Covenant of Evil to escape.

When Knowles heard this, it rubbed its messy hair and angrily said, “Damn bastards! The bastards of Templar City and those dark monsters deserve to die!!

“Third Princess, we absolutely can not give up!

“Richard, you are smarter than idiot Ferguson. Do you have any way to avoid the pursuit of those people?!”

Richard said in a grave tone.

“Where are we sending the Third Princess?”

Ferguson waved its hand, and a map made of energy appeared in front of it.

There were two points marked on it — the Templar City and an arch.

“That arch is a passage to another dimensional plane. We have to send the Third Princess here.

“This is a newly born plane. It can only accommodate a power of level 14 at the most. The plane’s dominion will directly repel anyone above this level and can not enter.

“They especially chose this plane to prevent the enemy from interrupting our transformation into the Third Princess.

“The Scarlet Council has arranged many methods inside.”

As it spoke, its tone became bitter.

“If not for this matter, the methods we arranged can starkly avoid the enemy’s eyes and ears.

“But right now, the Oath of Light and Covenant of Evil are all focused on the Third Princess. I’m afraid that even if we send the Third Princess inside, it would be useless…”

‘That plane could only accommodate level 14 battle power?’

Richard’s eyes gradually lit up.

His sharp senses told him this was probably the only way to break through this S-rank mission.

The millions of players do not nag him but the NPCs whose battle power had already reached the ceiling.

If he could avoid those NPCs who could destroy the city walls with a single strike, he had a 30% chance of success.

The remaining 70% would depend on whether the goddess of luck took off her long dress for him…

“After we enter, is there any way to destroy the spatial door and sever the connection with the outside world?”

Knowles interrupted.

“If the time of being locked by the artifact hasn’t passed, severing the connection with the main plane will expose the dimensional coordinates of the dimensional plane.

“At that time, the enemy can outrightly shatter the space and enter without entering from the front.

“Only after the artifact could not track the Third Princess can the dimensional door be destroyed to hide the plane.”

Richard’s brows furrowed.

“Since the artifact can track the Third Princess and expose the dimensional coordinates, why can it still hide the plane?”

“Because the dimensional stone has already been concealed by President Jones using special methods. Outsiders can not track it.”

Knowles continued to explain, “The Third Princess is now equivalent to a magic warning device. The outside world can guess the coordinates of the dimension through its position…

“If the enemy anchors the coordinates of the dimension after we enter, wouldn’t the result be the same?

“Now that the dimensional plane connects to the main plane, it is a part of the main plane. So it is impossible to guess the coordinates…”

After Knowles explained, Richard felt a bit of a headache.

There indeed wasn’t a single loophole in this S-rank mission.

If they wanted to take the Third Princess away, they could only take on all the players and NPCs on the map and withstand the risk of exposing their location ten times.

In these 30 hours, danger lurked everywhere.

Ferguson waved its hand. And the map in the air suddenly changed, and a new terrain appeared.

“This is the map of the dimensional plane. The points on it are the troops we have arranged inside.

“You have already branded your mark on the Scarlet Book. Once you enter it, you can directly command them…

“Our level has already exceeded the plane’s limit, so we can only entrust it to you.”

Richard synchronized the map with the system map. As he was thinking, a twisted and special area came into view.

He looked at the terrain and found it familiar. It seemed to be…? A rift valley?

A mark in the middle that looked like an earthworm made him squint his eyes.

He pointed at the area.

“Where is this?”

“This was originally a stone mountain, but due to the formation of the long plane, it became a rugged land made of countless sand and gravel due to the hurricane.

“There are deep valleys, pitch-black caves, and various strange passageways.

“This area is sublimely inconsistent. Large-scale collapses often occur that bury the underground passageways.

“That’s why we didn’t deploy troops in this area.”

Richard’s eyes gradually lit up.

Sand, gravel…

“How big is this area?”

“Hundreds of kilometers.”

“What’s the black line in the middle?”

“On the most prodigious rift in this area, there are high rocky cliffs up to several thousand meters on the left and right sides, and the middle is bottomless.

“According to President Jones’ speculation, this is the first rift in this plane, formed by the extension of two pieces of land.”

Ferguson hesitated.

“Sublimely enormous creatures inhabited this area — sandworms.

“They are the only creatures above level 15 in this plane. They are monsters that have existed since the birth of this plane.

“They can even hunt giant dragons…”

Richard stared at that area for a long time.

The goddess of luck ultimately did take off her long dress for him…

He turned his head and stared at the two, clearly enunciating each word.

“I will shoulder this mission.

“I will do everything, even if I sacrifice my life and soul. I will protect the Third Princess.”

At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn.

“Ferguson, Knowles… I need you to listen to my orders in the next operation.”

The two looked at Richard, whose aura was countless times weaker than theirs. At this moment, they felt as if they were facing Jones.

At this moment, some pressure rose in their hearts.

Ferguson and Knowles subconsciously looked at each other. Then, they took a deep breath and solemnly saluted him with their hands on their chests.

“I’ll listen to your orders, elder Richard!”

When Ferguson and Knowles stood up again, the way they looked at Richard had already changed.

They no longer looked at him as a junior but as an equal or as a leader.

Even though there was a vast difference in strength between the two sides, he had won their respect by relying on his responsibility, courage, and wisdom.

Although Richard’s expression was calm, his heart began to sink into a state of extreme excitement.

It was not because he had gained the approval of the two. But because he thought he was about to face the pursuit of NPCs and players from the entire plane.

His blood rushed to his head.

One person, against a million players.

Was there anything more exciting than this?

Since he couldn’t avoid it, he would give it his all.

He wanted to see if Twilight City’s sharpness could make those players feel fear.

“Prepare…to fight!”
