The Unemployed Demon Lord

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? I suggest a strategic transfer, bringing the remaining forces to make peace with the Royal Army in the north."

Isabella looked at Catherine, thinking about a strategic shift, isn't it just to escape?

"Don't be nervous Catherine, we haven't failed yet."

Catherine was stunned, then frowned and said anxiously, "Most of the Royal Army has been dispatched to the north now, and the entire capital is like an empty city. If His Majesty doesn't want to shift the strategy, release Masefield and the others, and then integrate the king's army." They all have vitality, which should be enough to fight against the Qiangwei family!"

"It's useless, even Dexter and the others died in battle, and sending Masefield up may have the same result." Isabella responded indifferently.

"Then... what is His Majesty going to do? We must not sit still!" Catherine was already a little panicked. Seeing that the queen was so calm, she wondered if there was something wrong with her mind?

"Don't worry, I already know what to do next, and all the rebels will die a terrible death." Isabella said through gritted teeth, releasing her murderous aura.

Catherine suddenly raised her head and asked in surprise, "Could it be that Your Majesty already has a countermeasure?"

"That's right, we still have the cards to win. No matter how powerful the Duke of Rose invites, they can't stop the patron saint of our royal family." Isabella paused, narrowed her eyes and said fiercely , "All the guys who oppose me must pay the price in blood!"

"The patron saint of the royal family..."

Catherine frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then widened her eyes!

Who else could be called a patron saint but that spectacle and the goblin of the underground lake! ?

In order to deal with Duke Rose, is His Majesty planning to use the foundation of the empire?

"Your Majesty said, is it the goblin in the lake who sleeps underground? The powerful creature that signed a contract with the blood of the previous king..."

"That's right, it's the powerful force we use to gain a foothold, the Fairy of the Lake." Isabella paused, and said confidently, "Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, we can't hesitate any longer. We must wake up the Fairy of the Lake. As long as there is this powerful creature in the capital, it will be useless even if the Duke of Rose invites the Great Swordsman Elgin over, after all, the goblin in the lake is an existence that human beings cannot resist, an ancient creature."

Catherine closed her eyes, her body was shivering, and she felt a little fear of this monster.

Although she has never seen the goblin in the lake, but based on various legends, she is simply the overlord who swept across this land!

But Catherine felt something was wrong, so she mustered up the courage to ask.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to directly use the goblin in the lake? The capital is a densely populated area, and the powerful power of the goblin in the lake may affect ordinary people. We need to inform you in advance." "No need, There is not much time left for us, there is no need to spend energy on ordinary people, turbulent times are bound to be accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, and the lives of untouchables are of no importance at all." Isabella said very seriously, appearing extremely cold-blooded.

Although Catherine felt a little disgusted in her heart, she didn't say anything to refute. Instead, she lowered her head and chose to obey, "I understand, Your Majesty."

"Catherine, I can only rely on you now, so are you willing to advance and retreat with me?" Isabella asked seriously.

"Of course I would." Catherine put her hand on her heart and replied in an affirmative tone

"I am willing to burn my life to protect you until the moment of death!"

◇

Outside the capital.

An army of more than [-] people is ready.

Their armors were polished and their weapons gleamed coldly, as if they were ready for war.

The huge phalanx formed by cavalry, infantry, and archers is neatly arranged, and it seems that the military discipline is strict.

The siege towers and giant trebuchets are also ready, and they will attack the capital at any time.

As for the city tower of the king's capital, countless torches were lit.

Most of the soldiers stayed up all night, worried that the Qiangwei family's army would attack the city.

However, the small number of defenders can only tremble under the iron hooves of the [-] army.

Duke Rose came out on a tall black horse in a red robe, inspected his troops, and began to say loudly

"Next, we will capture the capital and use our iron hooves to trample on the queen's palace."

"This is not to shame our loyalty, but to maintain the legitimacy of the empire!"

"The woman sitting on the throne is not our king now, the real queen has disappeared!"

"So we will be loyal to His Royal Highness Michelle and fight for the legitimacy of the empire!"

Duke Rose is doing pre-war mobilization to boost morale and use the banner of justice.

When the first ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, Duke Rose drew out the sharp sword at his waist

"All troops attack!"

The cavalry took the lead and rushed to the front, followed by the densely packed infantry.

Arrows rained all over the sky like locusts, swishing towards the towers of the imperial capital.

The huge trebuchet swayed like a windmill, swinging boulders one after another!

The [-] Rose Legion launched a fierce attack, shouting and killing loudly, and quickly began the war to occupy the imperial capital.

Merlin did not participate, but chose to watch from a distance, watching the two parties continue to fight.

The task this time is to protect Michelle, not to help capture the capital.

So Merlin is too lazy to meddle in other people's business, but looking at the current situation

what the hell?

Isn't this one-sided?

It seems that there is no need for me to appear...

Chapter 41: Monthly Ticket Addition

The siege battle was raging outside, and the few remaining defenders in the capital were sent to defend on the towers.

The palace is still in a quiet state for the time being and has not been affected.

In the deep underground where no light can be seen, the real Queen Elizabeth is imprisoned here.

Elizabeth hasn't slept well these days, and has been worrying about her daughter Michelle.

After all, she knew Isabella's character very well, and Michelle knew the secret, so she couldn't survive.

Maybe Isabella will not kill her blood relatives, but she will also lock Michelle like herself, never seeing the outside world.

Elizabeth felt that no matter which one, it would be a disaster for Michelle.

She didn't want Michelle to suffer here like herself and be isolated from the outside world.

Elizabeth was so worried that she paced back and forth in the prison, unable to calm down.

However, at this time, Isabella came to the prison with an oil lamp.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about Michelle?"

Elizabeth turned her head in surprise, and walked to the prison with her skirt up, "Sister, how is Michelle doing now?"

"Don't worry, she's fine. She's with the Rose Duke of Wales and hasn't fallen into my hands yet." Isabella responded blankly.

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked suspiciously, "What is Michelle doing with Duke Rose?"

"Do you still need to ask? Of course I want to overthrow my position and replace it." Isabella said with a sneer.

"Eh!?" Elizabeth looked shocked, she didn't expect her daughter to do this.

"Michelle is very similar to you when you were a child. She was always restless and did unexpected things." Isabella paused, with a trace of annoyance flashing in her eyes, "I have been pushed to the edge of despair by her now. The Qiangwei family's [-] troops began to besiege the imperial capital, and I had no choice but to use the goblins in the lake to suppress these hateful guys."

Elizabeth's eyes widened immediately, and she was horrified in her heart, "It's too arbitrary to use the lake goblin to suppress the Qiangwei family's army. Sister, calm down, do you want to turn the entire imperial capital into a ****?"

"So what? My stupid sister, who is to blame? It wasn't your daughter who made the situation like this. Even if the residents of the entire royal capital were buried with her, it would be Michelle's fault!" Isabellaton After a pause, he said with a gloomy expression, "I have no choice now. The Qiangwei family's army will rush into the hall at any time. I must liberate the goblin in the lake and reverse the current situation."

Elizabeth's face was pale, and she felt that Isabella had already started to get into a dead end, and refused to listen to anyone else's persuasion.

Her power as a real queen, and even the goblin in the lake, is simply not something humans can contend with.

Regardless of the mighty Qiangwei family's [-] troops, it's not enough for a sideshow in front of the goblin in the lake.

As long as Isabella holds the strongest hole card in her hand, Elizabeth will not doubt that her sister can turn the situation around.

"Sister, I beg you to think about it again, if the goblin in the lake is used, the empire will lose its foothold capital within 200 years."

"I'm sorry, Elizabeth, I can't control so much. I want rights, money, power, and everything in the entire empire." Isabella revealed her greedy nature, and her appetite seemed huge.

Seeing her sister's appearance, Elizabeth immediately gave up. She only hoped that her daughter would be safe. "Sister, can Michelle be spared? She is still a child."

"She brought me such a big trouble, how could I let her go?" Isabella's tone was firm, and it seemed that she was really moved.

"Sister, can I beg you? I am willing to cooperate with you and say that I am Isabella. Then no one will doubt you. I only hope that Michelle can live happily. If you still have Outraged, I am willing to accept the punishment instead of Michelle."

Elizabeth tried to touch the ruthless sister through the iron fence.

However, Isabella didn't seem to appreciate it, so she opened Elizabeth's hand and said seriously

"Give up, Elizabeth, stop begging me, my sympathy is not that cheap..."

◇

The entire underground is hollow.

At the bottom, there is a fluorescent lake.

A little bit of starlight floats up from the lake, because fireflies dance in mid-air.

This is the resting place of the goblins of the lake, the subterranean lake.

It is also the oldest lake in the entire British Empire, dating back to the age of the gods.

A long time ago, there were many legends about this underground lake, and the most widely circulated one is probably

There is a water demon in the lake, guarding the sword left over from the age of mythology, named the Sword of Victory and Oath.

Legend has it that the craftsman of the dwarf country in the age of myth cast a sword from the ore at the root of the world tree.

However, after Britain built a royal palace in an underground lake, not many people knew about this legend, and it slowly disappeared into history.

There is a lot of space underground, and it takes a long time to get to the bottom of the lake.

The old and simple stairs are in a spiral shape, Isabella's face reflects the lake light, and the oil lamp is slowly approaching the bottom lake.

After coming to the glowing lake, Isabella put the oil lamp aside and looked around.

There are strange plants around the lake, which are the same color as the lake water, and look like trees carved from precious stones.

Isabella was a little excited, because she was going to do a feat next, which was to call out the goblin in the lake!
