Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Novel - Chapter 168

Richard’s expression was somewhat unsightly.

He felt the exposure had ticked him.

He had thought that the blood loop would expose the Third Princess for a quick span but did not expect traces left behind by the artifact in her soul would continue to ripple for several minutes.

That made his thoughts of escaping quickly fall through the cracks.

There substantially was not a single loophole in the S-rank mission…

!!

“Knowles, leave immediately!”

As soon as Richard finished speaking, a large amount of sand suddenly floated around him that locked him firmly onto the mechanical puppet like a chain.

The dwarf hero piloting a level 20 extraordinary hunter, immediately controlled this gigantic mechanical puppet to fly across the sky.

‘Bang!’

A sonic boom sounded, and a mist exploded behind him and quickly disappeared before his eyes.

The speed was so fast that several afterimages were left behind…

Wind song and a dozen players riding mottled griffins watched as Richard disappeared before their eyes, unable to return to their senses for a long time.

They opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but could not say a single word.

‘Qingqiu… Qingqiu again!!

‘Why was he involved in everything?!!

‘Wasn’t he an officer of the Templar City??

‘How could he be the one who kidnapped the third princess?

‘What was up with that level 20 mechanical puppet?!

‘Why was he able to stand on the other party’s shoulder and receive the other party’s protection??

‘Was this level of NPC something that current players could come into contact with?

‘That guy…? What else was he hiding?!??!’

Countless questions filled Feng Ge’s mind, almost driving him crazy!!

A minute ago, he thought of stepping on the other party’s head, but now, he had only met him once, and the other party might not even see him.

That thought was like a flame ignited by a match splashed down by a bucket of water, ruthlessly extinguished.

It chilled his heart.

‘Roar!’

Suddenly, a roar interrupted his thoughts. Dozens of templar dragoons whizzed over, their terrifying draconic aura wantonly erupted.

The mongrel griffin sitting on the ground was suddenly greatly frightened and began to scream and flee frantically.

Feng Ge was caught off guard and almost flung away. He suddenly grabbed the reins and tried to control the griffin.

However, the griffin was terrified and completely ignored the manipulation. It dived abruptly and buried its head in the grass, and shivered.

They did not dare to move, no matter how he commanded them.

It was scared out of its wits by the draconic aura.

When Feng Ge saw this scene, an unconcealable sense of defeat rose in his heart.

“F*ck! The level-20 mechanical puppet sitting that Qingqiu was sitting on could make the templar dragoons unable to catch up.

On the other hand, he could only sit on the miscellaneous-haired griffin. Not to mention fighting against the giant dragons, the griffin had already collapsed before it could even get close to these troops.

He let out a long sigh.

He no longer had any thoughts of comparing himself to the other party. He was ultimately defeated.

He waved his hand lifelessly.

“Let’s go. Continue hunting the Covenant of Evil faction…

“Qingqiu… is no longer something we can compare to.”

Griffins embarrassed more than a dozen players in the rear that fell into silence.

This scene had substantially dealt them a heavy blow.

******

Run. Run like crazy.

Richard did not stop for even a moment. He stood on the extraordinary hunter’s shoulder and quickly ran into the planar gate.

Ferguson disappeared without a trace and did not move with them.

Behind the extraordinary hunter, a long line of troops appeared.

Dragons, angels, unicorn pegasus, griffins, airships… Almost all the top-tier soldiers of the Templar City had gathered.

The scene looked sublimely gigantic.

When Richard saw the enemy was gradually approaching, his expression was a little ugly.

“Knowles, speed up!”

“Damn the Templar City. Do you think you can catch up to Master Knowles? Superpowers Overload… Activate!”

‘Boom’

They could hear the sound of gasoline burning.

The speed of the extraordinary serial killer soared several times…

The large group of pursuers behind them watched helplessly as the giant machine pulled away.

“Magic Imprisonment!!”

A four-winged angel roared furiously.

“Commander, the opponent’s mechanical puppet is immune to magic!”

“What about that human?”

“He’s too fast. We can’t pick out a target. Furthermore, special energy shrouded the opponent’s body. It’s grandly arduous to identify him…”

“Activate the Spatial Chains, lock on to him!! Inform the troop to activate the Teleportation Formation and take a detour to intercept him!”

“Yes, Commander…”

Not long after the Third Princess’ aura was exposed for the first time.

A piece of news on the players’ [Forum Chat] caused everyone to explode — the third princess was in Qingqiu’s hands.

When the players heard this news, they were all dumbfounded.

‘Wasn’t this guy from Templar City? Why did he kidnap the Third Princess?’

This was everyone’s first reaction.

The other party activated the military merit system. How did this have anything to do with this?

However, when they regained their senses, everyone was furious.

“Qingqiu! F*ck! That bastard! Why is he involved in everything?!”

“Do you guys dare to believe it? Qingqiu got a level 20 mechanical puppet out of nowhere and is currently hiding from the NPCs.”

“Why is this bastard everywhere? I refuse to accept it. No matter what, I have to destroy that fellow!”

“We can’t let Qingqiu continue to be a scourge. If this continues, he will get all the benefits!”

“Right, we should unite and besiege Qingqiu!”

“Well said, unite and besiege Qingqiu!”

“Besiege Qingqiu!”

“Besiege Qingqiu…”

Most players had complicated feelings toward Richard, who had always been on top of them.

They admired his strength but were heavy-hearted because he had gained many benefits.

At first, the players were just excited. But after someone said about the besiege of Qingqiu, everyone began to copy and paste the words.

The entire [Forum Chat], whether it was the Covenant of Evil or the Oath of Light, was flooded with the words “Besiege Qingqiu.”
