Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

As Rogge made his decision, the expressions of the four alien leaders varied.

"Your Highness, are you truly prepared?"

Goode's already gloomy face became even more serious.

"We had no way out from the very beginning, didn't we?"

Roger stood up, his voice passionate and stirring, perfectly conveying his indomitable fighting spirit.

"Instead of just getting by, it's better to take a gamble."

"If there's a trap ahead, we'll break through it; if there's an abyss ahead, we'll cross it; if there's a dead end ahead, we'll continue it!"

Even if I am surrounded by thorns, roll in the mud, and fail again and again, I will get up again and keep going.

"I will not abandon any of my comrades. I will save everyone and take revenge on this world!"

"Only in this way will I be qualified to be your true king!"

"Your Highness..."

Goode opened his eyes and stared at Roger in astonishment.

He couldn't help but stand up and bow respectfully to Rogge.

"I have sensed Your Highness's resolve. As your subordinate, I will obey your orders and carry out your will to the end."

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Wolf was caught up in the atmosphere and burst into laughter as well.

"As expected of Prince Rogge, I knew I hadn't followed the wrong person."

No, you've all followed the wrong person.

What awaits you ahead is an abyss of despair.

Because no matter how much your prince struggles, his final fate is only death.

Rogge secretly passed through the tunnel.

All he could do was, as always, to the best of his ability before he died, fulfill the long-cherished wish of the alien race's revival.

At this moment, the system notification sounded.

Goode's loyalty to you has increased.

Wolf's loyalty to you has increased.

[Note: The higher the loyalty of your alien subordinates, the higher the final evaluation of the mission objective.]

Is this another classic favor-building exercise?

Rogge's eyes flickered slightly.

but……

He glanced at Shulan and Jixia without making a sound.

Shulan neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply sat there quietly, following all of Rogge's arrangements.

She was a staunch opponent, so it's understandable that her loyalty didn't improve.

But Ji Xia, who is a resolute action-taker, is just standing there dumbfounded.

Loyalty did not increase at all.

Why is she just watching? Does she have ulterior motives?

Before Roger could figure it out, a warm voice pulled him back to reality.

"Owner--"

thump.

Ji Xia suddenly pounced and knocked Rogge to the ground.

"Master! Master! Master!"

She clung tightly to Roger, nuzzling her head against him like a loyal dog.

"As expected, Master is the best!"

"Stop, stop..."

Feeling the soft, oppressive aura emanating from him, Roger had no romantic thoughts whatsoever.

I could only feel my bones trembling and groaning.

Imagine a feline cuddling with you.

However, that cat was a tigress that was even bigger than herself.

To reiterate, Ji Xia is an extremely carefree, tall woman who never knows her own strength when she strikes.

"I'm going to die..."

It's like being run over by a large vehicle.

Shulan is right.

Ji Xia is indeed too dangerous.

……

Having made the decision, Roger and the others began to take action that very night.

In order to lure more aliens into the trap, both the judges and the imperial guards were intentionally or unintentionally leaking information about the Crimson Phoenix.

On the contrary, Chi Huang seemed to have sensed the enemy's intentions and deliberately fled to a remote place.

But for Roger, who has the script, and Goode, who has excellent reconnaissance skills, finding the target is not difficult.

The challenge lies in how to rescue Chi Huang amidst the overwhelming encirclement.

"Your Highness has not yet awakened your talent. Perhaps you should remain in the Hall of Sin and leave the rest to us."

Shulan calmly offered advice to Rogge.

Roger shook his head, his attitude resolute.

"No, this was my decision, and I must be involved to the very end."

As fate would have it, he participated in the operation and, unsurprisingly, became a hindrance.

Even without him hindering the operation, it was destined to fail.

Because none of the four leaders could defeat the Chief Inquisitor of the Truth Cult.

According to the cultivation system of this world, it is graded.

The chief judge is currently classified as a level seven superhuman, just like the four top cadres.

However, being at the same level does not mean having the same combat strength.

If a real fight broke out, even the strongest Ji Xia would be no match for the Chief Judge.

In a few years, the opponent may even break through to level eight and become the strongest and most powerful competitor of the human race.

Moreover, there was a group of judges and royal guards around them.

Therefore, Rogge had to intervene.

And it became the key to breaking the deadlock.

"If Your Highness insists on participating, you must change your appearance in order to avoid revealing your identity."

Shulan quickly got into the swing of things and began to consider Rogge's involvement in the operation.

To avoid his illusions being exposed, Rogge is currently infiltrating the Royal Academy in his original form, so he will naturally need to change his appearance for this mission.

"I know, so come on."

Rogge had anticipated this and proactively opened his arms.

Shulan did not hesitate. She stepped forward gently, put her hands behind Roger's waist, and pressed her cheek against Roger's chest.

"..."

"Is this correct?"

Ji Xia narrowed her eyes and immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"What are you doing?"

"My innate ability, [Mirror Flower Water Moon], is best used through physical contact to change someone's appearance."

Shulan answered calmly with her eyes closed.

"Wait a minute, when you helped me hide my ears and tail, didn't you just wave your hand and that was it?"

Wolf, who was standing to the side, recalled how Shulan had helped him hide his alien features.

The other party raised his hand from a great distance, and his ears and tail disappeared.

"Because of His Highness's noble status, this matter must be handled with even greater care."

Shulan's reasons remain valid.

Roger knew that Shulan was right.

After all, this was how Shulan had always lived according to her predetermined fate.

Going back further, when Roger was still a child, Shulan had already served as his personal maid, taking care of him like an older sister.

They've done that quite a few times.

And so, one minute, two minutes, three minutes passed...

"Gurgle..."

Ji Xia stared at Shu Lan with hostility, making a beast-like sound.

Five minutes later.

"Hey! That's enough, isn't it!"

Ji Xia could no longer hold back and let out a low growl.

"Yes, the smell has been masked now."

Shulan calmly released her grip.

Roger was taken aback by what he heard, and awkwardly raised his arm to smell it.

"So I still have a scent? But I showered before I came, that shouldn't be the case."

"No, it's the stench left by reptiles."

"..."

Roger understood immediately.

"Foxes are the smelliest!"

Ji Xia grinds her teeth.

Regardless, thanks to Shulan's innate abilities, Roger's appearance has completely transformed into that of a different person.

She transformed from a masculine man with short, choppy hair into a dashing woman with long, straight black hair.

"To be on the safe side, changing your gender as well is the best disguise."

Shulan explained.

As she said, even if people of the same gender look different, occasional language or behavioral habits can reveal their identity.

However, gender is a different story.

Even when performing the same actions, men and women give off completely different impressions.

"Hehehe... Your Highness, shall I go and scout out the enemy's situation next, and incidentally draw their attention?"

Goode let out the classic villainous, sinister laugh.

At this moment, he unleashed his full potential, his black trench coat transforming into enormous bat wings, his bat-like body concealing his human appearance.

Like a mental patient who dresses up as a bat monster.

"There's no need. The other side has a lot of people and is powerful. Doing that would only alert them."

Roger rejected Goode's offer.

This was the strategy that had failed before; he now has a better idea.

"This operation has two core key aspects."

"Find the Crimson Phoenix as quickly as possible, and then figure out how to escape the enemy's pursuit."

"I have a bold idea..."
