After he captured the two cultivators, Axel who surprised them used his strength and knocked them out instantly.
Once he did that, Axel took the clothes of one of them and changed into them while Meili continued with the same clothes because her dress suited the way females looked in Egypt anyway.
Axel, however, went from wearing pants and t-shirt to the Egyptian long robe along with a turban to cover his hair and scarf to hide his face due to which he wouldn't have to worry about having his identity being revealed when he went to dock the boat.
At the same time, he understood why the government was willing to let two ordinary cultivators in the Mortal Realm patrol the water.
It was because they were given guns.
Storing them inside his spatial bracelet since he might have some use for them in the near future, Axel grabbed the necks of the unconscious men and instantly killed them.
Sure he might be having doubts on if the way he treated Meili and Lanying was wrong, but that wouldn't come in the way of his goal.
After all, if he left the two of them alive and just tied them up, even though the possibility was low there was a chance for them to escape and reveal everything that happened.
Therefore, it was best to get rid of them right away.
Picking up the dead bodies and throwing them as far as possible not just because the space on the boat wasn't huge enough for the four of them, but also because they would get caught when they docked the boat at the shore if they had two dead bodies with them, Axel looked towards Meili who continued steering the boat on the same path as the one in front of them.
Looking around to make sure that no one had seen them, Axel relaxed as Meili continue steering the boat.
Even though they sneaked inside the boat which belonged to the Egyptian forces, they couldn't just dock at the shore whenever they felt like it.
Instead, they'd need to keep up the act and behave like they were patrolling until they received the order to stop or change shift.
Hopefully, this would happen before the goddess woke up. If it didn't, then Axel and Meili would have no choice but to risk revealing their identities to get on the island.
...
Driving the boat around for an entire hour, when they were just starting to feel drowsy, Axel and Meili finally received orders through the walkie-talkie that they were supposed to dock the boat and shift with their replacements.
Seems like the government took into consideration the fact that it was possible for the patrol guards to bet bored and fall asleep due to which the shifts were changed once every two hours.
Docking the boat, Axel and Meili didn't encounter any problem as their replacements got on the boat left.
Looks like getting rid of the bodies was a good thing.
Since they were right now at the south end of the island, Axel who memorized the entire map of it knew where the temple he was searching for was at.
"Do you think that she's really going to wake up for the fourth time today?"
Nodding his confidently since his information was obtained from a Sovereign Deity herself, Axel began thinking of ways to get close to the temple of his choice which was guarded by too many people to even see the wall behind them.
Since they were on the south side, Axel felt that he could use the colonnade on the southwest side as cover until he reached the temple. But once there, he'd have to do something about the guards if he wanted to enter the temple.
Luckily though, once he entered the trample he wouldn't have to worry about much since it was possible that he'd be the only one inside it.
After all, it seems like even the government hadn't hey decided on whom it was that it would select to obtain the Goddesses support.
Therefore, Axel didn't waste any more time and began walking across the border of the island as he reached the point from where the colonnade started at.
Even though there were gaps between the high pillars, Axel and Meili easily used the night darkness to their advantage and kept moving without being caught by any of the patrolling cultivators.
Walking all the way on their toes, the two of them instead of standing around broke into a short sprint and hid themselves behind the Temple of Horus before the soldiers could spot them.
What benefited them was that the entire island was submerged in the darkness of night because those on the island didn't want to reveal what they were doing to anyone who could be watching them.
Due to this, Meili without needing to use her powers easily climbed up the Temple of Horus with Axel doing the same right beside her.
But, the real trouble started now for the two of them.
To reach the Temple of Isis from here, they'd either have to jump using all their strength or fly all the way.
And regardless of what they chose, they would definitely be found out by the thousands of men surrounding the temple on all sides.
If they jumped, the sound made when they landed would be enough to find out where they were at. And if they chose to fly, the other cultivators who were in the Grandmaster and higher Realm would instantly sense the change in the air and catch them.
So, Axel had no choice but to use that one special treasure which Xuannu had given him.
