The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

Outside the City of Mysteries, in a secret camp.

Roger, wearing the high-collared uniform he personally designed for the Night Watch, sharply scanned the Night Watch's First Battalion, gathered for the first time.

He discovered something very fulfilling: not counting Instructor Tianming and the player characters, the Night Watch force he held in his hands on paper was comparable to the number of experts in the early Tianming Army.

This time, with the Queen's support, his sister's help, and his own recruitment of future famous experts, the final result was a total of twenty-six legendary combatants, one hundred and thirty magister-level combatants, and over three hundred advanced mage-level or equivalent professionals.

The rest were also elites drawn from various armies, all professionals with good growth potential, and were young, battle-hardened, extremely loyal to the Empire and the Queen, and willing to execute any order.

Such an elite battalion with an extremely high proportion of experts could not only be divided into groups to carry out special operations and intelligence theft, but also, when assembled, could completely fight a small-scale war.

After all, this is a world where the gap in individual combat power is extremely large; a legendary expert is worth thousands of soldiers.

And the Empire, still at its peak, has an endless stream of experts, gathering the elites of humanity for hundreds of years, and can pull out such a team with a little integration, which also made Roger secretly shocked.

If the Empire already has such a foundation, how many experts are hidden in the churches that have accumulated for a longer time and have various longevity races?

The farces created by those arrogant nobles, which are only under their control, are still vastly different from real wars.

But such a stage is also a good touchstone, which can unite the morale of this force and experiment with the effects of the latest equipment.

Roger came back to his senses. On the other side of the powerful combat power, his subordinates actually still harbor some distrust of him, this fake expert.

But he holds the Eternal Night Token, which can borrow the appeal of the Eternal Night Queen to make the entire Night Watch completely obey his dispatch, and the experts trained by the Imperial military system are also undoubtedly obedient.

However, if he wants to truly grasp this force in his hands, he needs a lot of time and effort.

He spoke indifferently, his voice reaching everyone's ears: "I believe everyone already knows what happened in the South. The so-called Free Principality Alliance has already substantially betrayed and split the Empire. This is a huge damage to the Empire's reputation, and we must solve the enemy as quickly as possible.

The enemy is not strong, relatively speaking, they can be said to be quite weak. This is a battle that is bound to be won, and you can win without me. However, the meaning of my existence is to lead you to win beautifully, win decisively, win in a way that shocks the world... and then, continue to win, be remembered and commemorated by the people of the Empire, and become the eternal nightmare of the disloyal!"

Excitement appeared on the faces of many people.

Establishing meritorious service, being loyal to the country, and becoming famous in the world—which good man can refuse?

But many older experts would not be easily fooled by their own superiors and still had the idea of taking things one step at a time.

How far can this young master, who is said to only have the strength of a junior mage, lead them?

Without solid, independently won military achievements, Roger Charles is still an immature child in the eyes of the proudest Imperials.

Standing on the high platform, Roger could see a thousand faces with different expressions, and revealed a contemptuous smile:

"It doesn't matter whether you are convinced or not. In one hour, we will gather in Duke Fergus's banquet hall to discuss it further."

"One hour to capture the territory of a Grand Duke?" A one-eyed swordsman showed an interested smile. "Boss, you've set the bar a little high for yourself, haven't you?"

Roger did not answer directly: "Now, let's go to the Chapter of Imbalance to get equipment, and then teleport to the Fergus Duchy."

As soon as he said this, no matter what level of professional they were, their breathing became rapid.

The Chapter of Imbalance, the holy land of Imperial alchemists.

And alchemists represent...

...the best weapons, the best armor, the best enchanted equipment... even legendary items!

Everyone said that the Night Watch had good benefits. Could it be so good that they could directly go to the Chapter of Imbalance to pick out equipment?

Roger maintained the expression that this was just basic operation, but he was a little amused inside.

This is the benefit of tricking Frankenstein, isn't it?

He talked to the mechanical girl about industrial production, making her believe that the current alchemical equipment could be mass-produced on assembly lines in the future, and they were all worthless things.

Frankenstein looked at the good equipment she had stockpiled and immediately showed a worried look.

So she agreed to give the Night Watch more assistance on top of the standards provided by the Eternal Night Queen.

Anyway, after being taken away, it will be created a hundred times, a thousand times more in the future, right?

And this benefit of joining was reserved by Roger for before the war to become a tool to boost morale.

Currently, it seems to be working well.

Next, it's time to use victory to make a note for his bold words.

……

……

The light of the teleportation array flickered, and Roger led a thousand Night Watchmen to a mountain thirty kilometers from Fergus Castle.

The magnificent castle in the distance was already lit up with the light of a defensive magic array.

They received definite news that a dozen great nobles were defending the castle with guards and private armies.

The nobles are not stupid. Knowing that the Night Watch is strong, they will definitely not let them go. It is not easy for any one family to resist alone.

But when gathered together, they may not be without a fight.

The South has always been rich, and the experts it supports are naturally more numerous. After this integration, the number of legendary experts is not advantageous for Roger's side either.

Moreover, the other side is backed by an easily defended castle and the magic array that Duke Fergus has been managing and repairing for hundreds of years. It is definitely a tough bone to crack.

The one-eyed swordsman observed the enemy's power and sneered, "Boss, is it still one hour?"

"You can start timing."

Roger took out an hourglass, and the fine sand slowly flowed.

Several Night Watchmen opened a large cage, and a large group of birds flapped their wings and flew towards Fergus Castle.

There are many mirrors in front of the technicians of the Arcane Society, presenting what these birds see, as well as information scanned by many invisible lights.

Without any magical fluctuations, this is a fusion of biological modification and radio technology, plus multiple detection technologies.

Soon, the technical experts restored the accurate map of Fergus Castle and cracked the structure of the protective magic array.

This Night Watch not only has powerful magical strength, but also has technological equipment listed.

Its power on the battlefield should give those nobles who are huddled together for warmth a surprise, right?

At the same time, it will also give these proud soldiers a surprise.

Roger looked at the constantly dripping fine sand and was very curious about what he could achieve this time.

Chapter 118: Duke, times have changed!

The nobles of the Free Principality Alliance gradually stabilized their emotions after the initial panic.

Although there are various blind spots in their thinking, and they have shortcomings such as arrogance, blindness, and greed, it cannot be denied that they are the most well-educated class in this era.

Most of these nobles have also experienced war, and after understanding the Eternal Night Queen's resolute attitude, they know that she is going to use them as an example to others, and they have also prepared for battle and understood the situation.

There are no traces of large-scale troop deployment in the surrounding area. Obviously, the Eternal Night Queen is preparing to carry out a small-unit expert invasion operation to solve them as quickly as possible.

After all, teleportation arrays are expensive to build. Teleporting hundreds or thousands of people is the limit. The Azure Vine Empire cannot afford to teleport tens of thousands of troops at the moment.

With the support of the church, these nobles are not afraid of the Eternal Night Queen's solo attack.

The church promised that if the Eternal Night Queen leaves the City of Mysteries and breaks in, the Tri-God Society will support a sacrifice to invite a god or angel to suppress the empire's strongest power.

Although the promise may not be fulfilled, it at least gave the Free Principality Alliance the courage to take the first step.

They realized that their enemy is likely to be the Night Watch that supervises the nobles, because Roger also needs a proof of himself.

But it does not rule out that the military and Sparrow will also intervene. The empire has always had a wealth of experience in expert squad operations.

Of course, Fergus Duchy is not lacking either.

As the city closest to the Beast Mountain Range in the empire, there are many active adventurers and mercenaries.

With each family concentrating their wealth and raising a large amount of money, they quickly recruited a large number of professionals, including two legendary-level adventurers.

Calculating the power in his hands, Duke Fergus and the councilors felt that the sky was clear, the rain had stopped, and they were okay again.

"As long as we withstand this wave and apply to the church for more assistance, even the Eternal Night Queen can't do anything to us!"

"That's right, that woman is just bullying her own kind, and she is just an ant in the face of the gods."

"Praise the gods, they gave us freedom and protected the sacred rights of the nobles!"

The atmosphere among the nobles gradually relaxed. The fully activated magic array and the strong men constantly patrolling the castle gave them the confidence to persevere.

Soon someone had already begun to suggest: "Duke, why don't you let everyone taste your treasured slaves?"

The giant female slave opened everyone's eyes, and everyone dared to bet that Duke Fergus had more wonderful and exquisite ways to play.

This proposal was praised by everyone, and Duke Fergus didn't care: "Okay, let's all have fun together tonight!"

Slaves are just that, he has already enjoyed them, and he will not have the urge to turn a public car into a private car. Isn't it beautiful to share with like-minded people and get more creative ideas?

The nobles showed smiles that all men understand.

At this time, a bird with long tail feathers landed on the windowsill, hopping around. The beautiful color attracted the attention of a young noble.

He crushed the bread in his hand, kneaded it into small balls and threw it out, easily saying: "I don't know when the Night Watch will come. I'm looking forward to seeing the expression on that Charles boy's face when he finds out he's kicked an iron plate."

The nobles laughed, especially Duke Fergus, whose eyes flashed with two gleams.

The last time in Xinghan Palace, Roger was protected by the Eternal Night Queen, and everyone couldn't do anything to him.

But now he is coming to his territory. It is not certain whether he wants to clean up that kid, at least let him lose a big and fruitless return, but it is not too simple!

With this solid castle and the magic array that cost countless money, he simply doesn't know how to lose!

……

……

On the mountain overlooking Fergus Castle, the Night Watch had thoroughly investigated the structure and defense layout of Fergus Castle and deduced the key nodes of the magic array.

This kind of intelligence that cannot be obtained from the outside under normal circumstances is now clearly presented in front of the attacking side, greatly reducing the difficulty of the next attack. The most important contributor is this batch of "reconnaissance birds" developed by the Arcane Society.

The collision of magic and technology has created a very magical chemical reaction.

The Druid School has magic to control animals and share perception, but their animal companions have obvious magic fluctuations on their bodies. If they are directly used for reconnaissance on the battlefield, they will arouse the vigilance of enemy professionals and cannot get close at all.

However, these magics are not complicated. The Arcane Society cracked their principles, transmitted the bird's vision through radio waves, and implanted scientific detection methods such as infrared rays, sound waves, and electromagnetism. Ordinary birds with no magical fluctuations on the surface can become the eyes of the Night Watch.

The sensitive mages and strict magic arrays will not react to these ordinary animals, allowing these reconnaissance birds to freely enter and exit the castle's airspace and detect a large amount of intelligence.

Not only are the enemy mages completely unaware of the means, but even the Night Watchmen who operate the reconnaissance birds do not know that these birds are transformed by technological means. They thought they were just alchemical products with particularly strong anti-magic detection methods.

The application of technology in intelligence is currently limited to the Eternal Night Queen, Roger, Frankenstein, and R\u0026D personnel who will not have contact with the outside world in the short term.

Even Dean Hall, at the suggestion of the Eternal Night Queen, took the initiative to delete the relevant memories. His contribution to inventing the tape recorder must wait until later to be made public.

The old man is stubborn, but he is loyal to the empire. He doesn't care about this fame at this age.

Hearing that attacking his invention could bring endless benefits to the empire, and the Eternal Night Queen personally cared about his state, the old man was rejuvenated after chatting and did not doubt his life at all.

In short, some secret methods, the longer they are hidden, the greater the advantage the empire can gain on the possible front battlefield.

This attack on Fergus Castle is just a small test.

But the effect of this method is enough to amaze the Night Watch.

Even legendary experts would not have imagined that the Arcane Society's methods have become so powerful that the enemy's tightly defended castle is as transparent to them as if it were directly opening its doors and waiting for them to occupy it.

With such a degree of intelligence support, Fergus Castle only looks indestructible, but in reality, it is no different from directly opening the door and waiting for them to occupy it.

Every legendary powerhouse has reached an extremely profound realm within their own professional system, possessing incredibly rich combat experience. From deciphering magic arrays to breaching castle defenses, they have countless strategies in their minds.

"Within an hour... it's really possible!" The one-eyed swordsman looked at Roger again, his gaze already different, fondling his newly acquired pair of half-finger gloves with delight.

The spatial gloves, "Eight Arms," contain one cubic meter of storage space, similar to the most basic dimensional pouch.

However, glove-type spatial items, compared to spatial rings, bracelets, or dimensional pouches, have a unique advantage: the items retrieved are directly in hand, and items in hand can be directly placed inside, without any extra movements.

In other words, with these Eight Arms gloves, the one-eyed swordsman can seamlessly switch weapons in battle. Combined with his "Weakness Insight" ability, he can infinitely magnify the enemy's weaknesses, select the most suitable weapon, and deal the most fatal damage.

At the same time, it is extremely deceptive!

Because he is a Sword Saint, a warrior profession that abandons defense and maximizes attack power!

Entering the equipment warehouse of the Chapter of Equilibrium, he did not choose a powerful weapon, but immediately took a fancy to the Eight Arms, believing it to be the last piece of the puzzle to perfect his professional system.
