Chapter 1564 Meeting (bought a steering wheel simulator)

Soon, Duanmuhuai saw the other party in his reception room - the first princess of the Kingdom of Magic, Freya Elgrandi Gioral, who holds the title of the Brave of Magic, and her sister, the third The second princess, Nolen Cratalisa Gioral.

"First meeting, Your Majesty the Inquisitor."

The two beautiful girls stood up respectfully, lifted up their skirts, and saluted Duanmu Huai. Both of them have pink hair. As the elder sister, Freya looks elegant, generous and beautiful, and her figure is also first-rate. As a younger sister, Nolen is also full of the innocent and endearing charm unique to girls.

"Hello, Your Royal Highnesses, two princesses."

Duanmu Huai returned a salute to them, and then invited them to sit down.

"I wonder what you two came to see me for?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the two looked at each other, and then Princess Nolen looked at Duanmuhuai and spoke.

"Actually, we hope to reach an alliance agreement with you on behalf of our country."

"oh?"

Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"How to say?"

"We have all heard your Excellency the Inquisitor's speech."

This time it was Freya who spoke.

"The country of magic tools has been repeatedly invaded by the demon king's army, and we also hope to save the country and people from the threat of demons. Therefore, after hearing the speech of the judge, we thought this was an opportunity. All along, the brave man has only been responsible for defeating the devil and The mission is to eliminate the demon attacks, but this cannot solve the problem once and for all. If we want to completely stop the people from being threatened by the demons, we believe that the idea of ​​​​your Excellency the Judge is the most feasible, so we are here. , I hope to discuss an alliance with the Judge in person."

"The country of magic tools wants to form an alliance with us..."

Duanmu Huai thought for a while.

"Aren't you going to invite the Kingdom of Kagome?"

"The other party rejected our request."

Princess Nolen replied with some dissatisfaction. She puffed up her cheeks and showed a cute expression unique to a girl.

"Obviously my sister and I just want to talk to them, but the Kingdom of Kagome refused even this request... After all, for those who have Kagome, I'm afraid they won't care about such a trivial matter at all."

Among the three major countries, the Kingdom of Protection is the strongest, while the Kingdom of Summoning is the weakest. Of course, according to the story, it would be best for the three major powers to work together to form a coalition to fight against the demons. But obviously, this possibility seems unlikely now. The Kingdom of Kagoshima is obviously unwilling to lower its status and join this joint military operation.

Or they have other ideas.

After all, Duanmu Huai is also very wary of protection.

"Very interesting."

Duanmuhuai nodded, leaned on the sofa, and stared at the two of them.

"I understand why you are here, but how are you going to convince me to act with you?"

"Why?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Freya was stunned for a moment.

"But Your Excellency, Judge, didn't you say that you want to eliminate the demons? This is completely consistent with our goal. Wouldn't it be good for everyone to work together?"

"I understand what you mean, Your Majesty the Inquisitor."

On the contrary, Princess Nolen nodded gracefully.

"We can negotiate on the occupied demon territory and property distribution..."

"That's something for the country to consider."

Duanmuhuai interrupted Princess Nolen's speech.

"You seem to have made a mistake. I am not from this country. The reason why I chose to destroy the demons is because it is my duty. It is only because this country summoned me that I am here. So, the benefits this country gets have nothing to do with me.”

"Hey...this..."

Facing Duanmuhuai's answer, Freya and Nolen were both stunned. Although the latter's facial expression did not change, he was surprised inside.

After all, before coming here, Nolen also collected a lot of information and learned that there were two princesses in the Kingdom of Summoning, and they were about the same age as his sisters. Logically speaking, since the judge is so powerful, the king of the country of summons should definitely let his daughter take action to win over the judge and have a good relationship with him.

But now it seems...that's not the case?

What on earth is the king of the Kingdom of Summoning doing?

Although she is not as powerful as her sister Freya, Princess Nolen's mind and wisdom are second to none. She also has her own basis for making this judgment. From Princess Nolen's point of view, since the kings of the Summoning Kingdom all assigned their armies to this judge, it meant that Duanmu Huai must have gained the king's trust.

But considering that Duanmu Huai was not from the country of summons, but a person who was summoned, then the king of the country of summons must have reached an agreement with him in some way and means, otherwise it would be impossible to hand over his army with confidence. This brave man is the right one to take command.

As for the method used, considering that he has two daughters, it seems that this method is not difficult to guess.

Nolen thought she had guessed correctly, but now she discovered that she was completely wrong.

Duanmu Huai doesn't care about the interests of the summoning country. This is not a bluff, but he really doesn't care. This also shows that he has not reached some kind of interest-related agreement with the summoning country. In this case, why would the king give him the command of the army? This is simply incomprehensible.

Just when Nolen began to think quickly about how to speak, Freya asked in surprise.

"But... Your Majesty the Judge's goal is to eliminate all demons. In this case, wouldn't it be better to have more manpower?"

Stupid sister!

Hearing Freya's inquiry, Nolen sighed helplessly. Although my sister has great power and is very good at pretending to be a saint to cover up her twisted personality, in the final analysis she is still too stupid. At this time, she should not say such a statement that will make the other party show off! Doesn't this increase others' momentum? !

"To deal with the main force of the demons, I can actually do it by myself. It's just that it's a bit troublesome to chase down the escaping bugs, so I brought soldiers. Although I can completely eliminate all the demons with a little time alone. , But I don’t have the patience, but even so, I still need soldiers who follow orders, not those who are half-hearted.”

Look, I knew it was going to be like this.

Princess Nolen cooperated with a surprised expression on the surface, but she was secretly complaining in her heart. The other party was very powerful, and she did not have enough means and benefits to impress the brave man. Now she was in trouble.

"I see."

However, Freya was completely unaware of her sister's inner anxiety, and instead showed an expression of wonder.

"No wonder Your Excellency the Judge can say such a thing... It seems that you are indeed very confident in your own strength. Maybe we were rude..."

This stupid sister!

Nolen's facial muscles began to twitch involuntarily. She knew what Freya wanted to say. It was obvious that she felt that Duanmu Huai was not a talent that she could control, so she decided to withdraw from this plan. If Duanmuhuai can really eliminate the demons, then the country of magic tools can reap the benefits without firing a shot. And if Duanmu Huai can't do it, then she can negotiate terms with the other party when the time comes...

It turned out that she didn’t understand the situation at all!

It was clearly explained in detail on the carriage that came, so why is it still like this?

Even if Duanmu Huai has no feelings for the Kingdom of Summoning, but he uses the soldiers of the Kingdom of Summoning, then it is natural that the Kingdom of Summoning can take over the defeated demon territory. More importantly, what Nolen values ​​​​is the future potential of the Summoning Country!

As we all know, the most powerful and famous thing in the Kingdom of Summoning is the slave mark dedicated to demihumans. It would be fine if you just occupied the land, but combined with the slave mark, with the powerful power of this judge, the country of summons can completely use the slave mark to convert all the demihumans who follow or do not follow the Demon King's army into slaves!

In this way, the power of the summoning country will be greatly increased! By that time, the country of magic tools may fall from second place to third place!

That's why he wanted to hitch a ride on the Summoning Country before the war officially started, so as to bring the two sides closer. It would be even better if there was a way to create unique magic like slave engraving. On the contrary, once you distance yourself from the other party at this time, it means that the two parties are enemies rather than friends. Even if you want to close the distance in the future, it will be impossible.

"However, it's not impossible to cooperate. I need to see your performance."

Just when Nolen was thinking about how to guide this situation, Duanmuhuai suddenly changed the topic. Then he took out a map and placed it in front of the two sisters.

"Is this?" "Just yesterday, I led people to attack White Wing City and completely wiped it out."

"Have you defeated the White Wings?"

I have to say that this news really surprised the two princesses.

"In this way, the White Wings will also be under your command. That's great. With the addition of the White Wings, in terms of investigation..."

"I've killed them all."

However, Duanmuhuai interrupted Princess Nolen's speech bluntly, which made Princess Nolen speechless for a while.

"Why, why? As long as we cooperate with the slave engraving, the White Wings will become a very valuable fighting force..."

"Then it becomes a new nuisance decades or centuries later."

Duanmuhuai chuckled and stared at Princess Nolen with narrowed eyes.

"So, now that you two are here, I would like to ask, where do you think it is more appropriate for me to attack next?"

Although they didn't know why Duanmu Huai asked this question, Freya and Nolen thought for a while and then gave their own answers. Duanmuhuai looked at their answers and smiled.

"Thank you both for your suggestions. I will consider it carefully."

After that, Duanmu Huai invited the two of them out, and when he left the reception room and returned to the guest room, Freya was obviously unhappy.

"Really, this trip was in vain. If we had known this, we shouldn't have come and had to take such a long carriage ride..."

"Onee-sama?"

"Why?"

Hearing Nolen's voice, Freya's body trembled suddenly, and then her nagging complaints became much quieter.

"Yes, is there any problem? I think I was right..."

"......Haah......"

Looking at Freya, Nolen sighed silently.

"Sister, what do you think of the Inquisitor?"

"How's it going? I don't like him very much. He looks a bit too fierce. He doesn't look like a brave man. And he also looks quite rude..."

"Okay, I get it."

Nolen stretched out his hand to his forehead and sighed.

"I'll think of another way. It really doesn't work... No, it's nothing."

"…………?"

As princesses, the Kingdom of Summoning naturally prepared the best guest rooms for the two of them. However, even the best guest rooms here obviously would not satisfy Freya. But because she was tired from the journey, she fell asleep while complaining. Only Nolen did not sleep. On the contrary, she just sat in her room, quietly as if waiting for something.

"Dong dong dong."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Nolen raised his head.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and then Lillian walked in.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Nolen? The Lord Inquisitor is looking for you."

"Okay, I get it."

Princess Nolen stood up, adjusted her clothes, and then followed Lilian out of the guest room and came to a study room, where Duanmu Huai was sitting on a chair, looking at the map in front of her.

"Sir, Princess Nolen is here."

"Oh, I understand, go down."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand without looking back, and then Lilian said goodbye and left, closing the door, leaving Nolen alone.

"…………"

There was silence in the whole room. Noulun didn't speak, and Duanmuhuai didn't speak either. He just stared at the map. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly spoke.

"Why did you choose to launch an attack from the western front? Instead of marching directly through White Wing City to the inner territory of the Demon Clan like your sister did?"

Coming!

Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Nolan perked up.

"Because the west is the area with the weakest defense of the demons. There are only a large number of demihumans there, while the north is where the demons are most concentrated. I can understand my sister's idea. We can use the loopholes in White Wing City to penetrate the demon defense line and directly Cut into the core of the Demon King's army, fight the Demon King, and destroy the Demon King in the shortest time..."

"But you don't agree?"

"If we defeat the Demon King, then my sister's judgment is not wrong. But if we want to completely eliminate the Demons and their followers, I think we should start from the Demons' weak points and put pressure on the demihumans first. This is Although the route is relatively long, there are not many obstacles, and you can also use slave markings to capture a large number of demihumans to use as slaves, and eliminate those demihumans who are unwilling to obey orders. As for the demihumans who escape, they will naturally choose to be more defensive. A tight demon territory.”

At this point, Nolen paused.

"This will cause chaos within the demon clan. If the operation is correct, it may even cause internal disputes and fights between the demihumans and the demon clan. In this case, we can completely use this chaotic situation to Catch them all in one fell swoop..."

"It's a good idea."

Only then did Duanmuhuai turn around and look at Nolen.

"But it's not like what a little girl your age should think."

"…………"

Nolen lowered his head and said nothing. On the contrary, Duanmuhuai looked at Nolen with some admiration. Indeed, as Duanmuhuai said, it is unlikely that a girl could come up with such a vicious and inhumane strategy. But for Duanmu Huai, this is just right - after all, in the eyes of the Tribunal, demons are not considered human beings.

only………

"I understand what you want, and I can give you what you want."

Duanmuhuai stared at Nolen.

"Then the question is, what can you give me?"

"…………"

Nolen didn't speak. She was silent for a moment, then walked to Duanmuhuai and stared at the tall man in front of her. Then, Nolen stretched out his hand, and with her movement, he saw the little princess's robe slipping from her body to the ground along with her coat.

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Very well, I hope you can satisfy me."

Then, he spoke.
