A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

The empire's central command was paralyzed, and the entire Malvis fell into an eerie silence.

The vague rumors circulating in the capital have caused widespread anxiety among the residents.

This silence continued until an imperial general closest to the capital led his army into Malvis.

Soon after, news spread throughout the empire that Emperor Louis XVI had fallen seriously ill and entrusted state affairs to the new Imperial Marshal.

But what followed was questioning and disclosure, hostility and attacks.

To divide, to separate.

The princes scattered and declared themselves kings, while the generals amassed their own armies and became powerful figures.

This once mighty empire has come to an end, disintegrating and falling apart.

On the battlefield, the allied nations also sounded the horn of counter-offensive.

Few Imperial armies could withstand the charge of more than a dozen paladin chapters.

Not to mention that there were quite a few devil believers among them, and the paladin's Holy Slash was even more powerful when facing these guys.

The Archbishop of the Church, the Father of War, who had previously frequently cast Ninth-Circle Divine Spells, was killed by a flurry of blades after managing to unleash only a Sixth-Circle Divine Spell on the battlefield.

It seems this is his true level.

The Allied forces advanced with unstoppable momentum, recovering most of the lost territory, and the progress of the campaign was rapidly picking up.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Cheng Yi anymore.

After killing a group of imperial ministers, Cheng Yi also attempted to loot some spoils of war from Malvis's palace.

To his disappointment, although Louis XVI had a considerable collection, most of it consisted of luxurious and expensive gold and silver jewelry and rare treasures from around the world.

Only a handful of items can be recognized as equipment or props by the comprehensive network, and they are all ordinary items.

However, Cheng Yi eventually found a light purple orb in a hidden treasure vault.

A dazzling golden crystal floats inside.

【True Self Sublimation Pure Crystal】

Perhaps due to the light sphere barrier, Cheng Yi couldn't see the crystal's specific panel and would have to find a way to remove it later.

Cheng Yi still had some doubts. Logically speaking, even if he was essentially a puppet of the devil, as the monarch of a fantasy empire, he should possess legendary magical items befitting his status.

As you can see, even the logistics departments at the front lines of the multi-nation alliance are equipped with gleaming gold.

So he "inquired" about the palace guard who was clearly a confidant of the emperor.

Then he received some less-than-pleasant news.

Louis XVI did indeed possess magical equipment that could be described as legendary.

There were quite a few, as many as seven.

But he usually carries these seven items with him...

Cheng Yi returned to the ritual space, but was greeted only by bloodstains and the white bones of the corpse separated from its head at the center of the ritual.

Cheng Yi was not in a good mood, even though those legendary equipment, judging from the scene, had been thoroughly corrupted by the blood pool of the demonic ritual.

But he had a feeling that the equipment had probably been corrupted by the devil through a ritual...

------------

The outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt. Although there were still many merits and points to be gained, Cheng Yi had lost much interest.

So after staying in Malvis for a few days, he used up one of his dimensional teleportation attempts and returned to the Ribbon Forest.

As the battle lines advanced, this place was no longer the southern command post of the Allied Powers.

However, there is still a small logistics center here that connects to the faction shop.

At this time, Cheng Yi's reputation with the faction had reached an extremely terrifying level of [Revered (26800/50000)].

The achievement of assassinating the emperor was so astonishing that Cheng Yi's reputation in the camp surged by more than 10000 points.

In addition to the other achievements such as slaying demons, disrupting rituals, and paralyzing the imperial center, his reputation has reached such a height.

Although no one knows exactly what Cheng Yi did, considering the turmoil within the empire, various rumors, and his high reputation, it seems there is only one possibility.

The story of the stranger began to circulate in Callipus.

At first, it was just a normal assassination attempt on the king, with the tyrant being killed. But as the story spread, it gradually evolved into different fictionalized versions…

Cheng Yi still doesn't understand why that horned demon teleported him to the imperial capital...

Then, Cheng Yi met an unexpected person in the treehouse in the Ribbon Forest.

Amelia Silverleaf.

The Allied commander was sitting idly behind the logistics department table.

------------

"This...is truly astonishing."

Although Amelia already knew the whole story from other people, hearing it from the person involved still gave her a different feeling.

"By the way, aren't you the commander of the Southern Front? What are you still doing here?"

Amelia sighed.

"I have stepped down. The crisis in the boundless fairy wilderness has subsided. But my primary identity remains that of the Archdruid of this place."

"Moreover, an alliance of nations is, in the end, just an alliance."

"In times of crisis, we can naturally unite as one. But now that the situation is gradually improving, some people are already getting restless..."

An unbreakable alliance, huh?

I knew it.

Cheng Yi scratched his head.

He had already decided to leave, so there was no point in saying anything more.

Ultimately, the fate of this plane of existence must be decided by the people of this plane themselves.

Cheng Yi then took out the purple orb from his backpack.

"What is this?"

Amelia took the ball of light and looked at it closely.

A pale purple halo reflected on her face, turning her pale gold vertical pupils a light purple.

"This power is somewhat like the power of dreams..."

"I'm sorry, I'm not a druid of the Dream Society and I don't know much about this kind of power."

"Perhaps I can ask Yuanhuan for you?"

Cheng Yi shook his head and declined Amelia's suggestion.

With the power of dreams, he thought he had found a more suitable option.

It seems there's a fairy banquet waiting for him to attend...

Before that, let's check what equipment and items are worth exchanging for in the faction shop.

Then, Cheng Yi was blinded by a burst of colorful light...
