The Unemployed Demon Lord

Merlin looked at the beggars outside, recalled the flooded imperial capital, and couldn't help but understand a little bit. Many people's lives were the most important thing, and they cared about money, so they could only rely on relief on the way.

"We haven't eaten for two days. If possible, just donate some food to my grandson. Please help us for the sake of the Goddess of Light. I will remember the kindness of the two Your Excellencies for the rest of my life."

The old man drew a cross on his chest, and the little boy just hid behind his grandfather and didn't speak.

"Wait here, I'll go back and find some food for you."

Alice saw how pitiful the pair of grandparents and grandchildren were, and suddenly softened her heart. She couldn't bear to see them suffer.

If possible, Alice would like to help these people within her ability.

Although she doesn't have the strength to put down the current rebellion, she can still do it by giving some food.

So Alice didn't discuss with Merlin, turned around and went upstairs to the house.

Merlin shifted his gaze to the old and young scavengers outside, seeing their miserable appearance in ragged clothes, felt a little unhappy

Tsk, are things getting worse?

The current situation of constant disputes seems to have something to do with me...

(??ω????)

Chapter 10: Black Wolf

Merlin stared at the old and the young outside, feeling like this had something to do with him.

Seeing Merlin, the little boy seemed a little scared, and hid quietly behind his grandfather.

The old man smiled at Merlin, he didn't feel like a suspicious person, he wondered why the other party kept staring at him?

Merlin noticed that he lost his composure, and showed a slight smile, "How is the capital recently? Judging by the looks of you, it seems that you have experienced a lot of trouble."

"It's messy. I heard that the queen has always been Princess Isabella. She pretended to be Elizabeth to rule the empire, but the real queen Elizabeth has been found and is dealing with the troubles in the north." The old man sighed helplessly and continued, "However, Offrey's army is now invincible, and the queen probably can't resist it. Many people have to leave their homes and seek refuge."

"That's it..." Merlin nodded, touched his chin and thought, sure enough, things became more and more chaotic. The water monster he defeated seemed to be the empire's last trump card.

Alice came out of the house with a lot of things in her hands, including bread, fruit, and a bag of goat's milk.

"Eat quickly."

Alice gave the bread and goat's milk to the old man and asked them to distribute it themselves. After all, the little boy looked young and needed some goat's milk to supplement his nutrition.

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness. May the holy light of the goddess always surround you and give you the greatest blessing." The old man expressed his gratitude with tears in his eyes, and took the food with both hands.

"It's not something expensive, so don't be so polite." Alice responded awkwardly.

"No, no, food is a gift from the Goddess of Light. You can share it with me, which proves that you are a kind person." The old man was full of praise, and his expression was full of gratitude.

Alice smiled politely, thinking that this old man should be a believer in the goddess of light, otherwise it would be impossible to always talk about the goddess.

She took out an apple, rubbed it on her clothes, and handed it to the shy little boy.

"Eat, don't be polite to my sister."

The little boy hesitated for a moment, then looked at his grandfather, as if asking.

Seeing the affirmative look in his grandfather's eyes, he dared to take the apple and said gratefully.

"Thank you...thank you big sister..."

Merlin looked at Alice's figure, filled with a warm feeling, making people unable to help but want to get closer.

If someone says that Alice is a goddess now, surely some people will believe it, right?

"Well... do you know what's going on on the front line now?" Alice asked curiously, quite interested in the battle on the front line.

"It's too bad. The Kingdom's army retreated as soon as it came up, and they could only rely on the private armies of the local lords to resist. However, the form is still one-sided. It must be only a matter of time before they reach the imperial capital." The old man said with a pessimistic expression.

"Really..." Alice frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that Arnold has also gone to support the front line, and I don't know how it is now?"

"Wow~, you're still worried about Arnold, a woman who is always on the move, hehe~" Merlin couldn't help but tease.

"No! Arnold is also our colleague, I'm just worried about it." Alice retorted seriously.

"Also..." Merlin scratched his head, frowned and thought

Arnold's slag with only 5 combat power.

Who knows what this guy is going through on the front line?

Maybe he died of unknown AOE a long time ago...

◇

Northern Scotland.

The Offrey Combined Corps is fighting against the Austin family's private army.

The United Corps was invincible and crushed all the way, almost to the point of being unstoppable.

After the defeat of the Kingdom Army, no private army of any local lord could stop the combined corps, and many noble private troops have been wiped out!

Today, the black knights of the United Corps have already reached the gate of the empire, and if they continue to go deeper, they will directly threaten the capital.

However, the strength of the Austin family is not strong, and it appears extremely small under the iron hoof of the United Corps.

Arnold came to fight in place of his father, but he was so timid as a mouse that he was scared out of his wits, trembling even on a standing horse.

Looking at the dark mass of elite cavalry on the opposite side, Arnold was a little at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.

In fact, Arnold thought that his going to the front line was just a formality, and he didn't have to really go to the battle.

As a result, the Kingdom Army was defeated in an instant, and the unlucky Arnold had to bite the bullet and stand here.

The officer assisting Arnold's command was shot through the throat by the rain of arrows just now, and died tragically on the spot.

Even the soldiers sent out did not come back, either they were hacked to death by the enemy, or they were eaten by monsters.

The Austin family's army was like being targeted by a snake, and was eaten away bit by bit. Now there are only a few guards in heavy armor left.

Looking at the black combined army on the opposite side, Arnold felt his liver trembling with fright, and wanted to turn his horse's head and run away.

After all, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves. Look at the configuration of the opponent's army, and then look at yourself. What the hell? !run away!

However, many soldiers were staring at Arnold, so that he could not escape casually.

Although Arnold was the silly son of a landlord, he was the backbone of the soldiers at this time.

If Arnold was scared and ran away, it would be a serious blow to his family and would shame his father.

"Master Arnold! What should we do now?! The opponent's troops are too strong! Those monsters alone are very difficult to deal with. Our stormtroopers are all dead!" Holding a feathered arrow, he was obviously seriously injured.

There was a layer of cold sweat on Arnold's forehead, thinking what to do?How do I know!Is it too late to say that I am here to make soy sauce?

The sky was gloomy, dark clouds were slowly creeping, and beast-like roars sounded from the opposite side from time to time.

The Austin family is already at the end of its strength. Facing such a powerful army of [-], they are like ants!

"Master Arnold! We..."

Before the soldier could finish his question, he was suddenly interrupted by a loud bang!

A huge boulder flew in the sky, rushed towards Arnold and smashed it.

Boom!The ground was smashed into a big hole, and Arnold's mount was knocked down on the spot, neighing terribly!

"Hey hey!" Arnold yelled in a panic, fell headfirst to the ground, and ate a mouthful of mud.

"Master! Master!"

A group of soldiers ran up to help Arnold. If he died, the whole army would flee.

"Cough! Cough cough!" Arnold coughed non-stop, spit out the mud in his mouth, and said with a mournful face, "Who the hell is this?! Why does the opponent's trebuchet look like it has eyes?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in front of the troops, and there were endless exclamations, as if they saw something terrible

"My God!"

"That's...that's the Black Wolf Mercenary Group!"

"It's the Black Wolf Mercenary Group that came to kill us!!"

Σ(゜ロ゜;)

Chapter 11: Top Secret

When Arnold heard the name of the "Black Wolf Mercenary Group", his face turned pale and his body trembled.

Arnold didn't know much about the Black Wolf Mercenary Group before, but he heard a lot of rumors along the way!

Many private armies of the lords encountered this team of five people, and the ending was very obvious, and no one was left behind when they were massacred!

Arnold did not expect that such a small force in his family would encounter such a terrifying opponent, it was no different from being targeted by the god of death!

Although the opponent is only a team of five people, they are all holy-level powerhouses, and their charge is far more terrifying than the army of monsters!

Because Arnold has long heard that the Black Wolf Mercenary Group is a ruthless guy who treats the enemy mercilessly and uses extremely cruel tactics!

Now that the family's private army is running out, there is no need for the United Legion to send out a large force, but to eliminate the mercenary group to clean up the battlefield and strangle the remaining forces of the Austin family!

Looking at the turbulent and terrified crowd in front of him, Arnold trembled uncontrollably, and found that his legs were unable to move because of fear.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

There was a sudden scream, and the heavy armored knights who were used to resist the rain of arrows were smashed to pieces by the heavy shield on the spot!

The bursting sparks, combined with the ear-piercing hiss of metal delivery, seemed to be as shocking as an explosion!

With a sweep of the huge ax in his hand, there was a bloody storm immediately, and the momentum of dozens of people in the front was cut off!

A strong knight with a huge ax and a heavy shield rushed into the crowd. He was wearing a gray armor covering his whole body. If you looked closely, you might think it was a monster in steel!

The sudden appearance of the strong man made the soldiers terrified, and many of them were too scared to speak!

The corpses all over the ground made this ax and shield knight full of intimidation, and no one dared to step forward to challenge his power!

Standing almost 3 meters tall, the soldiers all thought they were facing a little steel giant in a trance!

Under pressure, everyone started to retreat, exclaiming each other's name from time to time
