The Unemployed Demon Lord

Winifred stood on the battlefield, his armor was shattered and his bauhinia cloak was in tatters.

His arms were cut off, leaving only neat incisions, and the bright red blood flowed slowly, as if he was naked...

Winifred's face was pale, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and his expression was numb.

Even though the wounds all over his body are already painful, all he can feel is numbness, which can be seen from the fear and blank eyes.

Opposite Winifred, stood a mysterious man in a black robe, who was silent and couldn't feel any obvious aura.

The sword in the mysterious man's hand is particularly strange, it is emerald green, and it looks like it is holding a whole piece of emerald gemstone.

He raised the gemstone sword, and the powerful pressure of the holy rank rose immediately, making people clearly feel the strength of the peak of the holy rank.

The runes lit up immediately, slowly squirming on the jeweled sword, and suddenly a gust of wind blew up!

The mysterious man swung his sword easily, and Winifred's head was directly cut off, flying into the air on the spot

Eleventh Knight of Thorns, Winifred was killed.

Chapter 13: Best Friend

The red sun in the sky jumped slightly and floated out of the horizon.

The plain is full of corpses, and the sun shines on the red land.

Only a headless corpse stood in the center, obviously bleeding dry.

Winifred had already died in battle, but the enemy had already ambushed, waiting for them to come to his door.

The man with the emerald sword was too strong for Winifred.

To wipe out this Bauhinia Knights by only one person seems to be effortless.

However, although the other party expected the queen to launch a surprise attack, they didn't know that the assassination team was divided into two groups.

When Milius arrived here with another team, he saw a miserable scene full of depression.

The Bauhinia knights looked at the corpses all over the ground in front of them, all dumbfounded, not knowing what happened?

Obviously this operation is classified as confidential, how could anyone know the meeting and location?The enemy must have calculated it.

"What happened..."

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Milius' forehead, feeling that this mission has become extremely difficult.

He looked around and saw the headless corpse standing in the battlefield, his expression was startled.

Although there was no head, Milius could still recognize who it was. The torn bauhinia battle robe had already explained everything.

Milius' expression became a little moved, his eyebrows were tightly locked on his forehead, and there was a burst of sadness in his heart.

As a close friend who came out of the same orphanage, seeing this scene really made Milius uncomfortable.

He knew how strong Winifred was, and it was conceivable how powerful the enemy had ended up like this.

Milius came to Winifred's body, picked up the magic book on the ground, and dusted off the dust.

"Winifred, what have you been through..."

"Master Milius! Here...here is a survivor!" A knight shouted loudly.

Milius widened his eyes, put away Winifred's magic book, turned and walked behind.

Chapman, the lucky captain of the Bauhinia Knights survived, was the only survivor.

However, he was seriously injured in the battle with the enemy, his face was pale, and he looked dying.

Chapman was helped to sit up by several knights, and he took a few sips of water before he could barely breathe.

"What happened here? Why did everyone die?" Milius said anxiously.

"Master Milius, we...we have encountered a strong enemy..." Chapman said out of breath.

"Who?! Who did these things?!" Milius asked, and his anger suddenly rushed to his forehead.

"A...a mysterious man named Sword Master of the Wind..." Chapman paused, and continued, "Lord Winifred tried his best but failed to defeat that guy, and was cut by a sword." Head off..."

Milius' eyes trembled, his expression a little dazed, "The Sword Master of the Wind? Who is this? I've never heard of it!"

"No...not sure, but that mysterious man is very powerful. Not only did he wipe out our team with a single sword strike, but even Lord Winifred's magic was broken by a single sword strike. It's hard to imagine that the enemy will hide With such a frightening hole card..." Chapman said with a panicked expression.

Milius fell silent. Knowing this news would interfere with the assassination plan this time. The other side has powerful people in charge. It is still a question of whether to continue to carry out the queen's order.

"Master Milius..." Chapman raised his head and asked, enduring the severe pain in his body, "What should we do now? Obviously, Grand Duke Offrey has a strong hole card. This assassination...does it matter?" Should it continue?"

Milius didn't speak, but looked at Winifred's headless corpse, lost in a moment of memory...

◇

Milius and Winifred were orphans since childhood and were adopted by an orphanage in a small town.

The personalities of the two are completely opposite, one is calm and the other is irritable.

When he was a child, Milius was the child who was punished the most by the nuns, and was despised by others.

Fortunately, there was a friend named Winifred, who helped Milius speak well and offset a lot of punishment.

So in the eyes of outsiders, it is really incomprehensible that the two of them can become friends.

One night, in the dormitory of the orphanage.

Today's Milius was beaten up by the nun for stealing beef.

He was lying on the bed covered with straw mats, drying his red and swollen buttocks.

The nun was patrolling outside with an oil lamp, making sure that all the children were there before leaving.

There was no risk, Little Winifred immediately secretly lit the oil lamp and flipped through cheap books on the basics of magic.

Is Milius on the opposite side in pain, and he still doesn't forget to curse, "Damn old nun, I'm afraid it's not because of menopause, she always takes it out on me."

"You can't blame others. You stole the beef, which is the food of all the children." Little Winifred responded lightly.

"Shut up! You nerd, I want to eat meat, whether it's everyone's or not? I'll kill the bold, starve the timid!" Milius bared his teeth and retorted angrily.

"That's it." Little Winifred responded lightly, as if he didn't want to say anything more?

"Tsk!" Milius was a little dissatisfied with this indifferent reaction, "What are you looking at? If you are caught by the old nun, you will be beaten."

"The magic book for beginners." Little Winifred replied.

"Oh~, so hardworking? You can become a knight of thorns if you want, and it's not difficult at all." Milius said lightly, "A few days ago, a knight commander of the Bauhinia Knights came and said that I am talented. Smart, Thorn Knight will definitely have a place for me after practicing swordsmanship, ha~"

"Don't say it so lightly. You are a talented person. Naturally, it feels easy, but most of them are just as talented as me. The Thorn Knight is the noblest knight in the empire. There must be no shortage of talented people. If I don't If you work harder, you really have no chance at all." Little Winifred showed a bit of sadness.

"Okay, then why do you work so hard to become the Thorn Knight?" Milius grinned and joked, "You won't be like me, in order to escape from this ghost place and become an existence respected by everyone. , and no one dares to bully me casually."

"I'm not as superficial as you." Little Winifred looked across and said seriously, "No matter how much you hate this orphanage, it's still our home. Without this place, we would have been frozen outside long ago. died."

"And then?" Milius seemed to refuse to accept this, showing an impatient expression.

"So I want to guard this place. After I become the Thorn Knight, I want to change the harsh living conditions here, so that every child can have enough food and clothing, and I will be their role model, so that they know that even if they are born in an orphanage You can also stand out." Little Winifred said with firm eyes.

Milius looked at his companion speechless, so he looked away silently and muttered in a low voice.

"You guy..."

"It's boring."

Chapter 14: Monthly Ticket Addition

"Master Milius..."

Seeing that Milius was in a daze, Chapman couldn't help but remind him.

Now the situation is critical, and it is necessary to make a decision now, and it will be difficult to deal with it when it is full.

Milius put away his memories and stopped looking at Winifred's headless body.

He looked around and saw that all the knights were looking at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

Milius took a deep breath, and it seemed that the result had already been reached.

"Everyone returns to the imperial capital, don't continue this assassination mission..."

Milius gave an order to give up this mission, which has to be said to be a wise choice.

Now that Winifred was killed in battle, it was indeed very difficult to rely on Milius alone to assassinate him.

Besides, the guy called the Juggernaut is very powerful, and Milius has no idea, he can't let other people continue to die.

Many others were relieved when they heard Milius' decision, and felt that they didn't have to fight desperately.

But Milius hadn't spoken yet, and then added something.

"After you return to the imperial capital, tell Her Majesty the Queen that I may never come back."

"Eh?!"

As soon as these words came out, many knights were shocked, feeling a little desolate in the words.

"Master Milius! You... what do you mean?!" Chapman asked in surprise.

"I want to act alone and continue this assassination mission." Milius said resolutely, "It's done, I'm successful and famous, and I'm defeated. It's just a handful of loess."

"Calm down a little bit!" Chapman was shocked, and quickly persuaded, "Lord Winifred has been killed, the strength of our assassination team has been greatly reduced, and the opponent has a mysterious master in charge, it is already very inappropriate to continue this It’s a secret mission, even Her Majesty the Queen must be able to fully understand this, and will not agree with you to go your own way!”

"This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with anyone." Milius said without any hesitation, and had already made up his mind.

"Since..." Chapman lowered his head and clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and stood up slowly, "Since Lord Milius wants to continue the assassination mission, then I will follow you!"

"I am coming too!"

"I can too!"

"I also……"

For a while, many knights stood up, wanting to go with Milius, showing a faintly passionate atmosphere.

Milius looked at the knights in front of him, and felt that there was no need to drag these people to death when he was going to assassinate.
