125: Execute the plan to control Kate's Kingdom

Isaac, the Legendary Expert of the Kate Kingdom, is only a Mid-stage Legend expert. Melita alone can contend with him.

Coupled with the Water Attribute Giant Dragon Joao, who is almost invincible among Legendary Experts, this matter is foolproof!

Thinking of this, Arthur nodded with satisfaction:

"Hmm, I believe in your abilities!"

Then, thinking of the upcoming plan, Arthur instructed:

"After you eliminate the Legendary Expert of the Kate Kingdom, you must thoroughly loot the royal family's wealth.

However, while looting the royal family, you must stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, otherwise, under chaos, the kingdom's economy and population might suffer heavy losses.

This is not what I want!

Additionally, after this incident, you two will be brought into the open. From now on, you two will be the kingdom's new Legendary Guardians, understand?"

"Understood, my lord. We will live up to your trust. Just wait for our good news here!"

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

After discussing a few more details of the operation, Melita and Joao embarked on their journey to the capital of the Kate Kingdom.

As the only Legendary Expert of the Kate Kingdom, Isaac almost always stayed in the capital, so the two's destination was also the capital.

Melita and Joao are both Legendary Experts. Traveling at full speed, they arrived at the capital in just over an hour.

Looking at the city wall, which was only fifty meters high, the two were not surprised.

Because after reaching the Sky Knight level, the height of the city wall no longer matters. Defense and suppression of invading enemies primarily rely on the magic arrays inscribed on the city wall.

The two first stood outside the city and scanned it, realizing that the capital was not as simple as they had imagined.

An ordinary Legendary Knight might not be able to see through it.

But Melita and Joao, one being a Legendary Mage and the other a Dragon with countless Legacies,

Immediately saw that the capital was enveloped by an enormous magic array.

This magic array reached the Legendary level, not only possessing defensive effects but also certain offensive capabilities.

A magic array of such formidable power would likely require even a Legendary Mage several months of painstaking effort to deploy.

And since the Kate Kingdom has no Legendary Mages, it means that the deployer of this array must have been invited by the royal family from the Continent of Gods.

Calculated this way, the cost of this array would be at least 300 million gold coins.

Such a large sum of money used to create the magic array protecting the capital made Joao and Melita sigh with emotion, truly a grand undertaking!

This magic array should be one of the royal family's foundations.

If the royal family members were to activate the magic array, Melita and Joao's current operation would likely encounter a lot more trouble.

So, after some discussion, the two decided to first infiltrate the capital, destroy the nodes of the magic array, and render it useless.

This way, they would avoid a major problem, which could be described as a highly profitable venture!

Thus, the two, disguised, confidently walked into the capital through the city gate.

Then, the two directly set up delayed-activation magic at twenty important nodes of the magic array.

In fact, the two had estimated that as long as ten important magic nodes were destroyed, the magic array would be rendered unusable.

But perhaps influenced by Arthur, their approach became more cautious. To be safe, they ultimately decided to blow up twenty nodes.

The locations of those magic nodes appeared to be ordinary residential houses, but in reality, there were at least Gold Knights guarding them in secret.

If Melita and Joao weren't so strong, they would have been discovered long ago!

After setting up the delayed magic to destroy the magic nodes, Melita and Joao were not in a hurry to destroy them.

Because they thought that since even the capital was enveloped by a Legendary magic array, the royal family must have other means against Legendary Experts.

Not to mention anything else, the royal family surely had one or two Forbidden Curse Magic scrolls in stock.

Because if one was willing to pay a hefty price, these items could potentially be acquired at major auctions on the Continent of Gods.

Since that's the case, how could the royal family not buy one or two as a trump card?

Then the two thought again that such important items could only be in the hands of two people.

One is in the hands of Isaac, the Legendary Expert of the Kate Kingdom, and the other is in the hands of the current King of the Kate Kingdom.

Speaking of which, Melita and Joao hadn't found the location of Isaac, the Legendary Expert of the Kate Kingdom, whether he was hiding or the concealment effect of his seclusion place was too good.

This meant they couldn't launch a sneak attack and could only focus their target on the current King of the Kate Kingdom.

To prevent Isaac, the Legendary Expert of the Kate Kingdom, from discovering them and then, feeling he couldn't contend, directly hiding or fleeing!

Joao temporarily hid in the capital and did not make a move.

He only sent Melita, whose strength was comparable to Isaac's, to infiltrate the royal palace, intending to kill the King of the Kate Kingdom in one fell swoop and see if they could seize some of the royal family's hidden resources.

As Melita infiltrated the royal palace, she also discovered many detection magic arrays deployed within it.

Many of these arrays would sound an alarm if they detected the appearance of a Legendary Expert!

It's understandable, as only Legendary Experts could truly threaten the royal family, so they naturally targeted such experts more.

Fortunately, Melita is not only a Mage but also has some research into magic arrays, so she managed to conceal herself without any major incidents.

It was now afternoon, and Melita guessed that the King of the Kate Kingdom should be handling official business at this time.

So she stealthily approached the palace where the King handled affairs.

To be honest, Melita didn't have much hope. She had originally thought that if she didn't find him this time, she would just grab someone to question!

Unexpectedly, she was incredibly lucky and found the King of the Kate Kingdom handling official business in that palace.

Seeing the person, Melita was ready to act directly.

But when she glimpsed the magic ring on the King of the Kate Kingdom's hand, she suddenly stopped.

Because she discovered that the ring was at least a Legendary-grade defensive item. If she launched a sneak attack, she wouldn't succeed and would only alert the enemy.

Generally speaking, magic defensive items have two activation methods.

One is active activation by its owner.

The second is that magic defensive items usually have detection arrays within them, which are passively activated when an enemy attack is detected.

The second activation method is often for saving one's life!

This means that when Melita acts, she cannot let the King of the Kate Kingdom and the magic defensive item detect her hostility.

Only then can she eliminate the King of the Kate Kingdom without activating the magic defensive item!

This matter is both simple and difficult!

To put it simply, if Melita used a transformation Spell to become someone familiar to the King of the Kate Kingdom, she would most likely be able to kill him inadvertently!

This is also why Arthur, despite having the legendary ring of protection, still needs Legendary Experts to guard him!
