After hearing what the Dark Queen said, Lin Qi finally understood that Chloe was still worried about him. This so-called legacy could only be unlocked with the Dark Queen's help; otherwise, it would be impossible to summon it.

"You talk too much... You can talk for so long just to open a box for me..."

Before the Dark Queen could finish speaking, Lin Qi immediately recalled her to the contract space. The more the Dark Queen talked, the more Lin Qi couldn't help but want to "interrupt" and prevent her from speaking further. However, once he started, it wasn't so easy to stop. Moreover, this place was too close to the core of the Black City, and the Dark Queen's shouts could easily expose the two of them, which was not something Lin Qi wanted to see.

Fortunately, although Lynch didn't experience physical pleasure, Chloe's legacy brought him spiritual joy! A whole bunch of equipment!

"Assemble! Everyone, assemble in the square immediately! We must reach the designated location before nightfall to launch the attack on the Third Fortress!"

Before Lin Qi could even examine the contents of the box, Bolt's booming voice suddenly echoed throughout the Black City. Immediately afterward, various sounds came from the surrounding rooms, indicating that many people were moving in this direction. Without wasting any more time, Lin Qi packed up all the equipment in the box, left the room first, and ran towards the square.

Before long, the allied forces of mercenaries and aliens began their chaotic march toward the third fortress. The whole way was filled with chaos and disorder, showing no signs of an impending victory for the revolutionary army. Instead, it resembled bandits invading a village.

--

"Lord Kaguya! According to intelligence from the front, Bolt and the aliens are already 50 miles outside the city, we..."

Bolt's army was quickly discovered by the witches of the Third Fortress. The witches had many ways to detect their movements, so there was nowhere for them to hide. Bolt didn't bother to hide and charged forward arrogantly.

Bolt's appearance after conquering two cities immediately caused panic among the witches. According to the information coming from the Twin Fortresses, none of the women had a good ending.

"Calm down. Amaterasu will guide us. Amaterasu has always protected us. Make sure all the witches are ready for battle."

Kaguya knelt before the demon-like statue, her tone flat, conveying no emotion beyond her unwavering faith in the so-called Amaterasu Omikami.

"Yes, Lady Kaguya."

However, it was precisely Kaguya's calm demeanor that gradually calmed the somewhat panicked witches, who retreated and prepared for battle.

"Amaterasu, please unleash your divine power and grant us courage and strength. We are willing to offer the souls of the invaders as sacrifices... Amaterasu... why haven't you responded to me for so long..."

Only after everyone had left did Kaguya begin to pray silently. But the more she prayed, the softer her voice became, filled with confusion and fear, because she had not felt the divine power of Amaterasu for a long time!

P.S.: Anyway, as you all have seen, I used to update two or three times a week, but the demand for more chapters was so high, and the number of votes for more chapters yesterday was a bit crazy. Although I didn't get any, I was still touched by your sincere (and crazy) feelings. So today I'll sleep two hours less and update one more chapter. Thank you all for your continued support.

Also, I really don't accept requests for more updates. It's a total rip-off; basically, all of them will be deleted. Do you understand the pain of being able to read but not watch?! Do you understand?! Do you understand?!

Chapter 30 Weapon Attributes

On the march to attack the third fortress, Lin Qi was always cheerful like a fool, making everyone around him look at him as if he were an idiot. Fortunately, Lin Qi deliberately downplayed his presence. Although the members of the mercenary group knew Lin Qi, they were not very familiar with him, so no one came up to talk to him.

Lin Qi naturally didn't care about other people's opinions. All his attention was on the equipment he had obtained from Chloe. It was precisely because of this equipment that he was overjoyed. Oh, I mean, he was grinning from ear to ear.

"Venom Fang Throwing Knife: Tier 2 Epic. Attack Power 40-55. Attached Skills: Venom, Return to Sheath. Venom: After hitting an enemy, it deals 15 points of poison damage per second for 10 seconds. It can only take effect once on the same target. Return to Sheath: If the throwing knife misses an enemy, it will automatically return to its sheath after 10 seconds. If it hits an enemy, it will return to its sheath after 20 seconds."

Having learned the art of throwing weapons from Chloe, Lynch had originally planned to find an opportunity to forge a couple of handy throwing knives himself, but...

It was already prepared in Chloe's legacy.

This is a throwing knife made from the teeth of some kind of creature. The blade gleams with a purplish-black light and is wrapped in a layer of leather. The same magic circle is engraved on the handle and the leather.

Putting everything else aside, just for the "Return to Home" attribute alone, this is a god-tier weapon! No need to worry about resource consumption at all! One shot every 20 seconds! A classic quick-draw weapon!

What excited Lin Qi even more were the remaining three Tier 3 set pieces! A set! This was the first time Lin Qi had ever seen a set!

"Shadow Dagger: Tier 3, Excellent. Attack Power 65-105. Agility +15, Strength +5. Attached Skills: Deadly Poison, Pierce, Shadow Strike. Deadly Poison: Attacks by applying poison, 0.1% chance to instantly kill the target. Pierce: Ignores 20% of the target's armor when attacking. Shadow Strike: In a dark environment, uses the power of darkness to instantly appear in front of the target."

"Shadow Ring: Tier 3, Excellent. All attributes +3. Attached skill: Double Strike. Double Strike: Instantly removes the cooldown of a non-equipment skill. Cooldown time: 12 hours."

"Shadow Leather Boots: Tier 3, Excellent. Movement Speed ​​+10%! (MISSING) Attached Skill: Shadow Step. Shadow Step: As long as you step on the target's shadow, you will immediately appear behind the target."

"Shadow Set 3/3, activates Shadow Bloodline, in dark environments, all attributes +3%! (MISSING) Stealth ability enhanced."

Looking at this set of equipment that Lin Qi could directly equip, he was in a state of excitement, his mind filled with images of hiding in a dark corner, watching a girl taking a bath, completely unaware of her presence! And that wasn't all; the Shadow three-piece set was practically the perfect weapon for murder, robbery, rape, and plunder! It even came with two close-range skills! After the girl finished bathing, a Shadow Step would allow him to circle around behind her and force his way in from behind! Or a Shadow Strike would allow for a frontal assault!

Wait, isn't the description of how the skill is used a bit off? Shouldn't it describe its role in battle...? Okay, in a sense, I'm also talking about a battle, a special battle between men and women.

Before receiving Chloe's legacy, Lynch was a nobody with hardly any equipment. But now, Lynch is instantly fully armed. What's even better is that the Shadow set doesn't look particularly impressive. After Lynch equipped it, no one thought it was anything special. It's like a knock-off Egg Knife, which is extremely eye-catching when you hold it, so much so that Lynch doesn't dare to use it normally!

"Trading a musket for a cannon! The legacy of a Tier 3 knight is truly impressive! It's a pity I'm only Tier 1! Otherwise, I would definitely take down all these bosses one by one! Whether it's a dagger or an egg knife, both need to be equipped with poison to maximize their power. Looks like I need to find a way to get some poison."

The thought that Chloe, an unremarkable Tier 3 female knight, had such luxurious equipment made Lynch's gaze burn with intense desire as he looked at Bolt, a Tier 4 knight, and Samuhaza, a Tier 3 knight. He couldn't wait to go up and take them down, hoping to get a big kill!

However, after killing Chloe, Lin Qi realized that the strength gap between ranks would become increasingly larger. When killing the second-rank Hicks, Lin Qi did not find it difficult, but when killing the third-rank Chloe, Lin Qi almost failed to break through her defenses even when he ambushed her. This made Lin Qi dare not attack third-rank NPCs casually anymore.

"We've entered the area of ​​the Third Fortress. Do as I said before, and take down these Witch's Eyes first."

Just as Lynch was looking at Bolt and Samukha with malice, Samukha suddenly stopped, glanced at the empty sky, and said calmly to Bolt.

Bolt immediately waved to the mercenaries behind him, and soon several listless black dogs were brought up. Samuhaza didn't waste any words, silently chanting a few incantations. Suddenly, the black dogs began to bark wildly, then collapsed to the ground dead, their blood drained. A round, plump Gu worm emerged, shook its wings, and flew into the sky. Before it could fly very high, the round Gu worms exploded, turning into a thick mist of blood!

 "what!"

Blood mist filled the air, and suddenly a girl's scream echoed in mid-air. At the same time, in the third fortress, a witch who was responsible for monitoring Bolt's movements collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony as she covered her eyes. Her eyes had turned into two pools of blood!

P.S.: Although I tried my best to satisfy every passenger's taste, well... I gave up. After all, everyone has different preferences. Some people like sex slaves, some like married women, but I have a soft spot for virgins. Let's not talk about reality. In the world of anime, I generally don't consider taking in someone who has been used. For someone like Chloe, who was raised as a sex slave from childhood and fucked countless times, to still have so many people so persistent in wanting to take her... I can only say, sorry to all you passengers who like public toilets.

PS2: I updated four times yesterday, and there wasn't a single word of praise in the book reviews! I'm so sad. Shouldn't you all be shouting things like "The author is amazing!"...? This young man needs praise! I need a hug! (Looking forward to this!) Isn't it a bit shameful to act cute?

Chapter 31 31

"Alright, I've broken the Witch's Eye. You can let your people infiltrate now. Remember to do exactly as I told you before, otherwise you won't be able to break the barrier."

After that scream in the void, amidst everyone's puzzled expressions, Shamuhaza nodded to Borte, indicating that the real operation could begin!

"Proceed according to plan!"

Bolt immediately nodded with a sinister grin, and dozens of rare mole-men immediately appeared in the ogre's group. They found a relatively secluded spot and began digging a tunnel. In the blink of an eye, a tunnel large enough for two people to pass side by side appeared in front of them.

At Bolt's signal, several of his trusted men led their troops into the mole-men's tunnels. However, most of the mercenaries remained on the surface, joining the aliens in a feint attack to draw the Third Fortress's attention.

"Brother Soter, where are we going?"

Lynch happened to enter one of the tunnel groups. The molemen split up halfway and became six groups that dispersed. Although Hicks was dead, he was one of Bolt's confidants during his lifetime. Now that vice-captain Sort has taken over, he is still Bolt's confidant. Lynch always played the role of an inconspicuous curious child and asked Sort a question.

"The Third Fortress, also known as the Witch Kingdom, is sealed by a barrier created by witches who believe in gods. Unless we can break the barrier, we have no chance of taking over the Third Fortress. So our task now is to break the barrier of the Third Fortress."

Soter is the kind of person who does things in a very methodical way. He won't speak unless someone asks him, but if someone does ask, he will explain very clearly.

After explaining their mission, Lin Qi suddenly realized something. Although Lin Qi knew that Bolt had taken over the Third Fortress after Samuhaza betrayed Kaguya, he didn't know exactly how he did it. Lin Qi had overheard Samuhaza and Bolt's conversation, and it was clear that this was the method Samuhaza had given Bolt to break through the shrine's barrier.

"Okay, we're here. Bring everything over."

Just as Lynch was still pondering, the mole-man in front of him shouted something in a mumbled human language. Soter immediately understood that they had arrived at their destination, so he waved to everyone, and everyone, including Lynch, handed over the large bags on their backs to Soter.

Before leaving the city, Lin Qi and the others were given a package. Lin Qi secretly opened it and saw that it was full of murky blood, and he didn't know what it was for.

After collecting all the backpacks, Soter began to unpack them one by one, dumping everything around a huge yellowish-white stone pillar that had been dug out by the mole people. This stone pillar was obviously not ordinary; it led all the way to the ground, which should be the foundation, and the surface of the stone pillar was covered with all sorts of strange totems.

Lin Qi initially thought that the others brought blood, just like him, but he was wrong. Some people brought feces, some brought bones, and some brought various kinds of hair. No matter how you looked at it, it was disgusting.

 

After all the stuff was stirred up and poured around the stone pillar, Sot carefully took out a box from his pocket, told everyone to step back a few paces, and then, as if disgusted, opened the box and quickly threw it onto the pile of filth around the stone pillar.

A yellowish-green worm that looked like a slug crawled out and burrowed into the pile of filth. Soon, small yellowish-green slugs crawled out of the stuff and covered the stone pillar.

"laugh!"

At this moment, the stone pillar seemed to be corroded, emitting a series of slight hissing sounds, and began to be corroded away little by little. Before long, a huge gap was completely corroded out, and this gap continued to expand as more and more slugs appeared, and it would soon break.

"Alright! One node has been broken, now it's up to the others!"

The group waited until the stone pillar showed a crack before Sot nodded to them. The mole-men then continued digging, seemingly intending to dig directly into the third fortress. Originally, there was a barrier underground to prevent anyone from sneaking in, but this time, nothing blocked their way!

At this point, Lin Qi clearly understood. The stone pillar in front of him was obviously the key point of the Third Fortress's barrier, and Shamuhaza had developed the Gu worms to destroy these key points. Now that the stone pillar was broken, the barrier had probably developed a gap! Without the barrier's defense, the Third Fortress was like a little girl stripped naked in front of the ogres and Bolt's army, probably unable to do anything except groan.

--

"Lord Kaguya, something terrible has happened! The barrier! The barrier's nodes have suddenly malfunctioned! Our personnel stationed at the nodes have absolutely no idea why! The barrier is probably about to..."

Meanwhile, the devastating news of the barrier nodes malfunctioning had reached Kaguya's ears. The witches were completely thrown into chaos. All the barrier nodes were guarded, but they had inexplicably failed, causing them extreme panic! Naturally, they had no idea that the barrier nodes had been destroyed from deep underground.

"Why is this happening... Has Amaterasu really abandoned us...?"

Chapter 32 32

"boom!"

The news of the barrier's failure immediately stunned Kaguya. The reason the Third Fortress had never been breached was precisely because of its impenetrable barrier! But now the barrier had inexplicably lost its function, which made Kaguya subconsciously connect this matter with the fact that she hadn't been able to contact the god for a long time!

However, before Kaguya could figure out whether the two things were related, a deafening roar suddenly came from the outside!

"Lady Kaguya! The barrier... has been breached! The alien races and mercenaries have smashed open the city gates! The knights are putting up a fierce resistance! The witches on the city walls have all lost their magical powers for some reason! They have all been captured!"

"Lady Kaguya! The Knights have been defeated! A group of mercenaries suddenly appeared from the city and launched a surprise attack on the Knights from behind! The remaining members of the Knights have all retreated into the lord's mansion!"

"The reinforcements to the other four fortresses were all ambushed by the alien race. The reinforcements to the fourth and fifth fortresses were completely wiped out, and the reinforcements to the sixth and seventh fortresses suffered heavy losses and will not be able to arrive in a short time!"

A moment later, several extremely disheveled witches rushed in from outside in a panic. One piece of bad news after another came from outside the shrine. The third fortress, without its barrier, was just as everyone had imagined, like the thin membrane of a virgin's body, completely unable to withstand the impact. It was breached by Bolt's allied forces with unstoppable momentum. The only obstacle to Bolt's advance was the knights left behind by the general, but they were quickly wiped out by the shameless tactics of the ogres and Bolt's mercenaries!

After destroying the shrine's barrier, the underground force, including Lin Qi, dug through the sewers of the Third Fortress and then, seizing the opportunity, delivered a fatal blow to the unsuspecting knights!

The reinforcements that were supposed to come to the aid of the other four fortresses were tricked by Bolt and Samukha. They had set up an ambush halfway and were waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. As a result, the attack hit them and caused two of the four reinforcements to be wiped out. The remaining two were only spared because of the wife knight, who was the adopted daughter and daughter-in-law of the devilish general. They managed to break through with difficulty, but it was impossible for them to come to the aid of the fortresses again.

This battle laid the foundation for Bolt to completely crush the Seven Shields Alliance. The remaining four fortresses suffered heavy losses. After capturing the third fortress, Bolt will quickly break into the remaining fortresses!

But that's a matter for later. Right now, Bolt and the ogres are clearing out all resistance forces in the Third Fortress at top speed, ignoring all civilians who don't resist.

"Be prepared to dedicate yourself to God, and God will always be by our side. Death is merely returning to God's embrace."

Kaguya sighed deeply, forcibly erasing her wavering faith in God, and calmly addressed the witches around her. The witches all showed a determined expression. From the moment they became witches, they had been instilled with the idea that one day they would give everything for God, so when death truly came, it did not feel particularly terrifying.

 "My magical power... my magical power has vanished?!"

However, these witches are still human after all. Death may not frighten them, but when their faith collapses, they will still experience fears they have never felt before!

Witchcraft power has always been the source of their strength and a symbol of their faith in God! But now they can no longer feel the witchcraft power within them! The witchcraft power that has accompanied them throughout their lives has suddenly vanished! How could this not fill them with terror!

"What...what's going on?!"

Not only the witches, but even the usually calm Kaguya showed signs of emotion!

"Kaguya, I'll give you five more minutes to consider. If you don't surrender, we'll attack. Once we attack, everyone will die, and I believe that's not what you or I want! These witches are all innocent!"

Just then, Bolt's voice rang out outside the shrine. Clearly, in that short time, Bolt's army had broken through all the defenses and reached the shrine's gate!
