The Unemployed Demon Lord

In the imperial capital, opposite the temporary palace, is a mountain covered with lush forests.

Under the dark moonlight, it looks even more mysterious, giving people an unknown danger.

The five-member Black Wolf Mercenary Group, known as the elite squad, suddenly appeared here, hiding in the forest.

The heavy armored knight Hall, the black elf archer Doreen, the black shadow at this moment Needham, and the thunder mage Keton all looked down.

They slowly made way for Kasayeger to come to the front in a wheelchair, grinning grinningly at the temporary palace below.

"It seems that the time has come for our black wolf mercenary group to kill all directions..."

(~,~)

Chapter 17: Thinking

The black wolf mercenary group successfully entered the territory of the imperial capital first and arrived at the temporary palace from a secret path.

Kasayeg accepted the mission of Grand Duke Offrey, and it seemed that he could execute it soon.

"Captain, what are you bringing us here for? This is the base camp of the enemy..." Thief Needham asked tentatively.

"Yeah, you should be able to tell us what the mysterious mission is now?" Keton stroked his beard.

Everyone else looked puzzled, and they didn't know there was a mysterious mission at all.

"Mysterious missions are a lucrative business..." Kasayeger turned the wheelchair around and said sullenly, "Grand Duke Offrey promised us that as long as Queen Elizabeth is killed, we will be the heroes of the new empire. When the time comes Not only can you get the title of nobility, but you can also get a large piece of land!"

"No way!? Will you give us a fief? Are you kidding me?" Keton widened his eyes and looked shocked, feeling that the reward was too generous.

The other three team members gasped, feeling incredible. Unexpectedly, Kasayeg and Archduke Offrey had negotiated such a big deal.

Obtaining the title of nobility and a large fief means a bright future. The entire Black Wolf mercenary group will completely escape from the current predicament and become a noble feudal official without continuing to live a life of running around.

This reward is very exciting for everyone. Even if the mission is full of danger, it is necessary to take a risk and try it!

"I'm not kidding, I already owe a contract with the grand duke, as long as we can complete the task, this promise will definitely be fulfilled." Kasayeger paused, and continued, "I think you know what it means to be a nobleman and get a fief ?It means that we will become a superior existence in the future, and we will have our own territory, and the status of the Black Wolf Mercenary Corps will also rise."

"Oh my god, this is amazing, I can't bear my murderous urge anymore!" Needham's eyes were full of fanaticism.

"I didn't expect this kind of reward. If I become a lord, can I do whatever I want!?" Hall tapped his shield with his ax and said excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for!? Let's rush now! Go in and kill them without leaving a single piece! Take off the queen's head and go back to work!"

"Wait a minute, the reward for this mission is so rich, it must be very dangerous, right? It will definitely not be so easy to succeed." Ke Dun said calmly.

"That's right, the other party is the queen of the entire empire. There must be powerful people guarding her around, right? If it's that easy, why would the Grand Duke come to us?" Doreen echoed.

A few people fell silent for a while, although there must be a brave man under a great reward, but everyone is not a fool, it is better not to take risks when looking for death.

"Don't worry about this. The defense of the palace is weak now, unlike before, so we are not under a lot of pressure." Kasayeg sneered and said, "The enemy we really need to face is the Thorn Knight. According to the intelligence Judging from the number, it is not impossible to fight with our strength!"

"But the Thorn Knights are not easy to mess with? Are we really okay? Especially the famous first knight..." Keton hesitated, worried that he would not get any benefits from the Thorn Knights.

"It's okay, we can give it a try, and if it doesn't work, we can retreat." Kasayeg looked at everyone and said bewitchingly, "Thinking about the reward the Grand Duke gave us, I think it's worth trying even if it's dangerous. "

"That's right..." Keton was speechless. There must be no problem if he tries, after all, the reward is too tempting.

"Doreen, let's do it, first say hello to the other party." Kasayeg gave the order.

Doreen sighed, opened her bow and set an arrow, and shot a feathered arrow "swish", piercing the dark night sky.

The feathered arrow split in mid-air, forming a dense rain of arrows in an instant.

The sound of whoosh, whoosh, piercing through the air was endless, and countless arrows rained down on the temporary palace...

◇

Temporary palace.

It was very quiet in the conference hall.

Elizabeth sat alone in the main seat, her face full of sorrow.

Standing behind her were Morrison and Masefield, who stood guard with blank expressions.

The atmosphere was quiet, without a single sound...

Chapman has reported everything to Elizabeth and has nothing to hide.

Such a severe situation made it difficult for Elizabeth to deal with it, so she had to think carefully.

Morrison and Masefield could understand the Queen's troubles, but could hardly help.

Regarding the deaths of Milius and Winifred, Elizabeth was a little sad. She felt that she was not capable enough and could obtain limited information. She didn't even expect that the other party had a strong card.

If the Grand Duke Offrey only had the Black Wolf Mercenary Group, Elizabeth felt that the two Thorn Knights, Milius and Winifred, would be able to deal with them, and the assassination would not encounter resistance.

However, judging from Chapman's report, Grand Duke Offrey still has a more powerful enemy in his tent, who can easily kill Winifred, and it must not take much effort to deal with other Thorn Knights.

Although she didn't receive the news, Elizabeth felt that Milius must be in danger and could not come back.

However, knowing that the United Legion had stopped for three or four days, Elizabeth still had some time to think about countermeasures.

For the death of the two Thorn Knights, Elizabeth believed that she was still responsible, and she thought things too simply. The failure of the assassination mission made the situation worse than before.

Elizabeth lowered her head, her heart was in a state of confusion. The United Legion was about to overwhelm the border, and even the fortifications on her side were a bit dilapidated.

However, people have been sent to speed up the construction, but there is too much time, maybe only a city wall can be built.

In addition, the goblin in the lake was defeated by Merlin, and fell into a century-old sleep and could no longer use it, which made the situation worse.

Now there are only three Thorn Knights around, and it's hard to say whether they can resist the combined army.

What's more, in addition to the black wolf mercenary group, the opponent also has an unknown sword master sitting in the guard, which becomes very troublesome.

Elizabeth was very uncertain whether the knights could defeat each other, and the pressure caused by this invisible force was overwhelming.

What should I do?It is almost impossible to resist with the current strength, and it seems that we can only seek some assistance.

Do you want to ask for support from other countries?In this case, some imperial interests must be given up.

Moreover, the neighboring countries are not kind people, and they might use this as a lion to open their mouths.

But without relying on the support of neighboring countries, who else can help him overcome the difficulties in front of him?

Elizabeth thought about it, and suddenly Merlin's figure flashed in her mind, making her seem to be grabbing the last straw

Elgin Great Swordsman can defeat the goblin in the lake, judging from the current situation...

It seemed like only this man had the power to help me through this.

However, do you really want to bow your head and beg someone humbly?

(??ω????)

Chapter 18: Raid

Elizabeth recalled Merlin's ugly face when he robbed her stockings, and she couldn't help panicking

Although the great swordsman Elgin is indeed capable of helping him, but the previous grievances and grievances are still vivid in his memory, and he wonders if the other party will help him regardless of the past?

But the previous things were all done by his sister, and Merlin rescued himself from the cage, maybe he didn't have much ill feeling towards the empire.

But when I lowered my head and asked for help from a pervert who robbed women's clothes, I always felt that this queen had no integrity...

Elizabeth's expression became complicated. Although she could think of Merlin immediately, she still had some instincts against this kind of man who didn't know much about him, who was powerful and perverted.

Besides, the conflicts and threats between Elgin Great Swordsman and the royal family hadn't been dealt with in time, and Elizabeth always felt a little self-deprecating when she asked for help.

Masefield glanced at Elizabeth secretly, seeing her worried face, "What's the matter, Your Majesty? You look very disturbed?"

"No... nothing..." Elizabeth forced a smile.

"Sure enough, it's the fact that the United Legion is about to overwhelm the border?" Morrison said bluntly.

"Ha..." Elizabeth's smile was slightly awkward. Although she tried her best to hide it, she was facing a difficult problem, and it seemed that everyone could see it.

Seeing the Queen's far-fetched smile, Masefield asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, can't you use the Fairy of the Lake again?"

In fact, Masefield is also a little worried about resisting the United Legion. Saint-level powerhouses are not invincible, and they can still be defeated by using the sea-wheel tactics. As long as the magic power or fighting spirit is exhausted, the strength will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, besides the Black Wolf Mercenary Corps, the other party also has the mysterious sword master secretly helping them. This lineup is already magnificent. It seems that the rebellion that Grand Duke Offrey has prepared for so long is indeed no small matter.

"It can no longer be used now. Although the previous water demon was a substitute for the goblin in the lake, the substitute was connected to the main body. Although Elgin the Great Swordsman did not kill it, the main body was still severely damaged. Preliminary estimates, The lake goblin may take hundreds of years to recover..." Elizabeth explained with frowning.

"So...the Fairy of the Lake didn't use all his strength when he faced Elgin the Great Swordsman?" Morrison asked curiously.

"No, according to historical records, the goblin in the lake is much stronger than the water goblin's double. Maybe it underestimated the power of Elgin's great swordsman, and that's why it suffered a lot..." Elizabeth speculated.

"Is that so..." Morrison nodded, thinking that he had seen the water monster from a distance before, and felt that the combination of several Thorn Knights could suppress it, so it turned out that Ban Tian was a substitute.

"Your Majesty, how does the goblin in the lake exist?" Masefield asked, curious about the guardian of the empire.

"It's hard to say the specifics. The goblin in the lake is a secret of the royal family, and those who are qualified to inherit the throne can only know it after they reach adulthood." Elizabeth couldn't directly tell the secret of the goblin in the lake, so she could only explain euphemistically, "But the goblin in the lake It is an aggregate of water elements. After countless years of practice, it has its own wisdom, so after we settle down, we need to restore the underground river to rebuild the king's capital, which can help the goblin in the lake to speed up self-healing..."

"Since we cannot use the power of the goblin in the lake, it is obviously difficult for us to resist the United Legion..." Masefield raised his head and asked cautiously, "I wonder if Your Majesty has any good countermeasures now?"

"This one……"

Elizabeth fell silent and had to face the current reality. It would be difficult to break through the predicament without relying on external forces.

Can you really only bow your head to Elgin the Great Swordsman?That pervert even snatched my clothes as a threat!

I am the queen of the empire, am I going to beg for the support of a fetish pervert now?I'm so sorry...

But the predicament in front of him is very troublesome. Is it really necessary to win over Elgin the Great Swordsman?

Don't you just love women's underwear?As long as the other party is willing to keep a secret...

It’s okay for me to go all out and give Elgin a carload of silk stockings to the great swordsman, so I should be satisfied now, right?

If Merlin knew Elizabeth's bloody thoughts, he would definitely say on the spot that there was a saying that his mother would criticize, and he must explain it clearly.

Elizabeth moved her mind and decided to write a letter to Merlin, asking him to come to the imperial capital for an interview.

"Windsor, go and give me the pen and paper, I want to write a letter..."

"Well, okay..."

Masefield nodded, and walked out, wondering, who would His Majesty want to write to at this time?Is it to ask for support from other kingdoms?

However, before Masefield took a few steps, his powerful senses suddenly sensed something was wrong, and there were waves of killing intent.
