237~ Destruction~
"Mo, are you awake?"
"Mmph..."
The moment she opened her eyes, she met the Empress's face. If it weren't for the things she'd experienced these past few days, she'd almost think she was still under soft confinement in Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Imperial Palace.
Rubbing her eyes, still in a daze, she was carried outside by the Empress and placed on a chair. The Empress took the washing utensils and cleaned her face.
"Fei, when are we setting out?"
"After you've eaten and drunk your fill."
The original plan was to set out as soon as they woke up, but considering again that the little Princess herself has a mortal body and can't use Magic Power to maintain bodily functions like her and Cecilia, it was delayed by about another half hour.
"Oh."
......
......
Half an hour later, after eating until seventy percent full, the little Princess was taken by the Empress to leave the military camp.
"A bit further ahead, just a bit further ahead and we'll be about at the sewage system's location."
The little Princess pointed forward.
"Right there by that river ahead."
"Mm."
A backward otherworld's sewage treatment capability definitely couldn't match her previous life's, so sewage basically just goes through simple sedimentation and fermentation. The methane produced is piped into blast furnaces to save resources, the remaining fermented material is used as fertilizer, and finally the portion of sewage that can't be utilized with current technology is directly transported to the entire sewage system's outlet. After passing through a Purification Magic Array, it's discharged into the river channels outside the city.
Almost the entire city's sewage system outlet is here. Even after simple sedimentation and magical purification, there's still a foul smell. But fortunately, the discharged water, under the river's self-purification effects, after flowing a certain distance downstream, isn't much different from normal river water.
Roughly after flowing out of Glaze Nation's borders, after being diluted and settled by a large amount of water, it becomes ordinary river water.
"Mo."
"Mm?"
The Empress pinched the little Princess's cheeks. Her fingertips squeezed out a bit of Magic Power, drawing a miniature filtering Magic Array at the nose, which could prevent foul odors from entering the nasal cavity.
"Let's continue."
After the Empress and Cecilia also set up miniature filtering Magic Arrays for themselves, the two simultaneously reached out and quickly drilled a hole in the Barrier.
"While we can! Quick!"
Boom...
After blasting open the sewage system's wall, the two carried the little Princess and moved rapidly through the sewage system. At every intersection, they stopped to let the little Princess look at the code words on the walls to identify the direction to continue forward.
"Left!"
"......"
"Straight ahead!"
"......"
"Right front!"
......
Almost every corner had code words that only some Glaze Nation royal family members could understand. Guided by these code words, they quickly found their way beneath the temporary palace in the Mo Glaze Experimental Zone.
"Your Majesty, more and more people are coming this way."
"I know."
The Empress turned to look at the little Princess.
"Are there usually people in your temporary palace?"
"There should be. Usually someone should be responsible for cleaning."
Hearing this, the Empress compressed Magic Power at her fingertips and released it toward the ceiling. After shattering the obstacles overhead, she directly flew upward while holding the little Princess.
"......"
This is her resting bedchamber. A casual blast actually punched straight through to her bedchamber here!
And quite a portion of those flowers and plants she was raising in her bedchamber were actually directly destroyed.
"Mo, stop spacing out."
After being reminded, she came back to her senses and broke free from the Empress's embrace.
"Let's go. It's in the back garden of this temporary palace."
That strange large stone disc placed in the back garden...
"Your Majesty!"
"I know."
She sensed it. The entire Barrier's core Magic Array is on that stone disc!
As long as within a certain distance, no matter how hidden it is, she and Cecilia as Great Archmages can detect the anomaly.
"It's actually here as Princess Mo said?"
She suddenly became somewhat curious about how exactly the little Princess knew.
Clearly it looks like a completely normal place. Just by relying on memory, she could guess the location of the Barrier's core Magic Array hidden by an opponent she'd never met.
She also began to grow increasingly curious about the little Princess.
"Let's destroy this Magic Array first, while..."
"Fall into eternal icy slumber! Eternal Frozen Coffin!"
"Cecilia!"
"I'm fine, Your Majesty. You go destroy that Magic Array first. Leave these guys to me to handle."
"Then be careful yourself."
Ridiculous. Strength forcibly raised through bestowed power looks so weak no matter how you look at it!
Cecilia placed her hand on the ice coffin, continuously injecting Magic Power.
"Magic Power Reversal, Infernal Purgatory!"
……
"Mo, hide behind me."
While Cecilia kept continuously releasing Magic Power on a large scale to cast magic, ensuring this side wouldn't be disturbed by the outside, she planned to directly "go all out" and destroy this Magic Array.
Not knowing if it's because they knew someone planned to destroy the Magic Array, most of the entire Barrier's Magic Power... or rather, diluted Divine Power, all converged on this core Magic Array to strengthen its reinforcement level. She also had to expend more Magic Power to cast magic to destroy this Magic Array.
......
......
"Captain! Come out quickly and look!"
"What's all this..."
The captain, who was resting and was called out of the tent, saw a scene before her eyes.
An almost apocalyptic sight appeared above Glaze City's sky, accompanied by the Barrier that originally covered Glaze Nation's sky shattering.
"At this moment, the Barrier that had been isolating Glaze City from the outside world was broken through. Glaze City once again saw the light of day."
"Stop standing there! Quickly tell the brothers to grab their equipment and follow me back in!"
"But General..."
"What General! That general is a fake. Right now I'm the biggest! Listen to me!"
"Yes!"
In no time, a small army was assembled and began marching toward Glaze City.
The main force still remained in position. This separated army's role was mainly to investigate the situation. If there were no problems, then find the Empress.
......
"Captain, it's Scarlet Phoenix Nation's army! They're coming toward the city gate!"
Standing in place thinking for a while, he spoke.
"Open the city gate! Let those soldiers from Scarlet Phoenix Nation enter the city!"
"But..."
"Do as I say! Open the city gate!"
"Yes!"
Not daring to delay or disobey their superior's orders, the soldier who received the order immediately went to the city gate to relay the command.
"Open the city gate!"
Soon after, the advance army dispatched by Scarlet Phoenix Nation directly stepped through the city gate without conflict with Glaze City's garrison.
"Thanks, brothers. Once we find our Empress and Princess Mo, we'll leave immediately."
"Princess Mo... Princess?"
"Right, your Princess, and Her Majesty the Empress found a way to destroy this Barrier."
