Chapter 430

Milius' actions alone were not without value.

This time, Grand Duke Ofre was seriously injured and turned into a one-armed disabled person.

The disturbance and sensation caused by the addition were relatively large, affecting the marching speed of the entire coalition army and almost stagnating.

Due to Offrey's injury, the entire army was stationed in place for defense, which reduced the pressure on the Imperial Capital a lot and bought precious time.

In the military tent, Grand Duke Ofre was in a coma for three days and three nights before waking up. His left arm was severed by Milius, and he was temporarily bandaged.

The Four Swordsmen of the Elements defended everywhere and didn't move around. As the staff officer, Gabriel learned the news of Ofre's awakening and rushed over immediately.

"Grand Duke, are you awake?" Gabriel came to Ofre's bed.

"Yeah." Ofre nodded, "Good Xuan survived, this man Milius is really terrible."

"Unexpectedly, the queen sent two assassins. She really wanted to kill you." Gabriel showed a sad and angry expression.

"Yeah, the queen is obviously not merciful. I was thinking about putting her under house arrest. Now I just want to execute her in public!" Offrey looked at his broken arm, and the hatred in his heart climbed straight up.

"The Duke's wish will be realized soon. Don't forget, we have an absolute advantage now. As long as the Four Sword Saints stand in our turn, the plan to subvert the dynasty will never fail." Gabriel paused and analyzed. Said, "I just received a secret report. Due to the turmoil within the royal family, the big killer of the fairy in the lake has been used. This is a great opportunity for us."

"Yes, the current empire is just an empty shell. Without the fairies in the lake, who can threaten the Four Sword Saints? The realization of my ambition is getting closer and closer." Grand Duke Ofre calmed down a bit.

"The Grand Duke was right, and the minions we sent should have arrived at the mission location now. There are only three queens guarded by knights. What can they use to resist?" Gabriel gave a sinister smile.

"Yes..." Grand Duke Ofre also smiled triumphantly and said leisurely

"Maybe when we arrive in the imperial capital..."

"The flags of the Ofre family are already planted on it."

The hazy moonlight disappeared, I don't know where to hide.

In the sky as thick as ink, not even a trace of starlight appeared.

In the imperial capital, opposite the temporary palace, is a mountain full of lush forests.

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

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

The heavy armor knight Hall, the dark elf archer Doreen, Sombra, Needham, and the lightning mage Kerton are all watching below.

They slowly gave way, and Kasajeg came to the forefront in a wheelchair, grinning at the temporary palace below.

"It seems that the time has come for our Black Wolf Mercenary Group to kill the Quartet..."

(~_,~)

Chapter 17: Thinking

The Black Wolf Mercenary Group successfully entered the imperial capital from the secret path and arrived at the temporary palace.

Kasajeg accepted the task of Grand Duke Ofre, and it seemed that he could execute it immediately.

"Head, what do you want to do with us here? This is the enemy's base..." the thief Nidam asked tentatively.

"Yeah, should I be able to tell us what that mysterious mission is now?" Kerton stroked his beard.

Everyone else had a puzzled look, and didn't even know that there was a mysterious mission.

"Mystery mission is a very profitable business..." Kasajeg turned the wheelchair around and said gloomily, "Grand Duke Ofre promised us that as long as Queen Elizabeth is killed, we will be the heroes of the new empire. Not only will you get the title of nobility, but you will also get a blockbuster fief!"

"No!? Will give us a fief? Isn't this a joke?" Keton widened his eyes, looking shocked, thinking that the reward was too generous.

The other three members all took a breath and felt it incredible. They didn't expect that Kasajeg and Grand Duke Ofre discussed this forcing business.

Obtaining the title of nobility and a large-scale fief means a bright future. The entire Black Wolf mercenary group will completely break away from the current predicament and become noble officials in the frontiers, without continuing to live a life of running around.

This reward is very exciting for everyone, even if the task is full of dangers, there is a need to take a risk!

"No kidding, I have already owed a contract with the Grand Duke. As long as we can complete the task, this promise will definitely be honored." Casa Yeger paused and continued, "I think you know what it means to be a nobleman and obtain a fief. It means that we will become superior existences in the future, as well as our own territory, and the status of the Black Wolf Mercenary Group will also increase."

"Oh my god, this is great, I can't bear my urge to kill!" Needham's eyes were full of enthusiasm.

"I didn't expect it to be such a reward. If I become a lord, then I can do whatever I want!?" Hall knocked on the shield with his axe, and said excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for!? Go ahead now! Those who went in and killed them didn't keep a piece of armor! Take off the queen's head and go back for business!"

"Wait a minute, this task is so rewarding, it must be dangerous? It will definitely not succeed so easily." Kerton said calmly.

"Yeah, the other party is the queen of the entire empire. There will definitely be strong people guarding him? If it's that easy, why should the Grand Duke look for us?" Doreen echoed, who said nothing.

A few people fell silent for a while. Although there must be a brave man under the reward, everyone is not a fool. It is better not to take the risk of looking for death.

"Don't worry about this. Now the palace defense is weak, unlike before, so our pressure is not great." Kasajeg sneered and said, "The enemy we really need to face is the Knight of Thorns. According to intelligence The number is not very large, and with our strength, it is not impossible to fight!"

"But the thorn knights are not too easy to provoke? Are we really okay? Especially the very famous first knight..." Kerton hesitated, worried that the thorn knights would not get any benefits.

"It's okay. We can try it. If it doesn't work, we will retreat." Kasajeg looked at everyone and said bewildered, "Thinking about the reward the Grand Duke gave us, I think even if it's dangerous, it's worth trying. "

"That's right..." Kerton had nothing to say, and there would be no problem if he tried it. After all, the temptation of remuneration was too strong.

"Dorin, let's do it, first say hello to the other person." Kasajeg gave the order.

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

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

The whistling sound of breaking through the air is endless, and countless rain of arrows is pressing towards the temporary palace...

Temporary palace.

Quiet in the conference hall.

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

Behind her stood Morrison and Masefield, guarding them blankly.

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

Chapman has reported everything to Elizabeth and has not concealed anything.

Such a severe situation made Elizabeth a little difficult to deal with, and she had to think about it carefully.

Morrison and Masefield can understand the Queen's troubles, but they can't help much.

Regarding the deaths of Milius and Winifred, Elizabeth felt a little sad. She felt that she was inadequate and had limited access to information. She didn't even think that the opponent had a strong hole card.

If Grand Duke Ofre had only the Black Wolf mercenary group, Elizabeth felt that Milius and Winifred could deal with the two thorn knights, and the assassination would not meet resistance.

However, according to Chapman's report, there are more powerful enemies under the Grand Duke Ofre, who can easily kill Winifred, and it must be easy to deal with other thorn knights.

Although no news was received, Elizabeth felt that Milius must be ill-advised and could not return.

But knowing that the Union Army had stopped for three or four days, Elizabeth still had some time to think about countermeasures.

For the deaths of the two thorn knights, Elizabeth believed that she was still responsible, thinking things too simply, and the failure of the assassination mission made the situation worse than before.

Elizabeth lowered her head and was in a state of confusion. The Union Army was about to be crushed by a large army, and even the fortifications on her side were a bit tattered.

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

In addition, the fairy in the lake was defeated by Merlin, falling into a century of sleep and unable to use it, which made the situation worse.

There are only three thorn knights around now, and it is hard to say whether they can resist the combined army.

What's more, in addition to the Black Wolf Mercenary Group, there is an unknown Sword Saint who is sitting on the ground, which becomes very troublesome.

Elizabeth was not sure whether the knights could defeat the opponent, the pressure caused by this invisibly could be called overwhelming.

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

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

And the neighboring country is not a kind-hearted person, maybe the lion will use this to speak up.

But without relying on the support of neighboring countries, who else can help oneself tide over the current difficulties?

Elizabeth thought about it, and Merlin's figure flashed through her mind, making her seem to have caught the last straw

Elgin's great swordsman can defeat the goblin in the lake. Judging from the current situation...

It seems that only this man is capable of helping me through the difficulties.

However, do you really have to lower your head and beg others?

(??Ω????)

Chapter 18: Raid

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

Although Elgin's Great Swordsman is indeed capable of helping himself, his previous grievances can be vividly remembered. I wonder if the other party will help himself regardless of his predecessors?

However, the previous things were all done by his sister, and Merlin also rescued himself from the cage, perhaps not too disgusting towards the empire.

But bowing his head, asking for help from a pervert who robbed women’s clothes, I always felt like a queen of her own.
