I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

The leading elven knight issued this command.

At this command, seven elven knights immediately rushed forward.

"Good! That's how it should be!" Jill immediately took a step forward, "Soul Flash - Full Moon!"

Like the flickering moonlight, the circular, disc-like attack instantly knocked all seven elven knights who rushed forward to the ground.

"Hmph, I am the oldest hero-king in human history, the king chosen by destiny, Gilgamesh!" Gilgamesh drew a long line on the ground with his Demon Slayer sword. "Those who wish to come again, step over me! And then trample over my corpse! Come, you bastards!"

Jill has rarely lost her temper, and even when facing Azdakha, she treats him as a worthy opponent.

Even opponents he couldn't completely kill.

After all, not all demon kings have the courage and audacity to say such words to all humans and their heroes.

With all my might! With every ounce of wisdom! With every last drop of brute force! Try to transform into a radiant sword piercing my very heart!

That was the sentence the three-headed dragon said when Jill took out the two Tyrannosaurus Rex and faced it head-on.

Having defeated such an enemy, he was met with a furious shout from a group of weaklings who still had to rely on other elves: "Why are you king?"

Jill was truly consumed by rage.

He didn't kill anyone outright because this was Grevas's territory; he could have simply left and let Grevas clean up the mess. But he wasn't willing to owe her a favor.

However, one must be mindful of the occasion when it comes to being tactful.

The elven knight who uttered those words was struck head-on by Gil's Soul Flash - Crescent Moon, leaving him with a long wound that stretched from his shoulder to his abdomen. Coupled with the massive bleeding, he was not dead, but he was seriously injured.

The other elven knights were not much better off, because although Gil maintained some rationality in his rage, he still used excessive force.

Without timely treatment, that amount of bleeding could kill the person within minutes.

Jill flicked her sword. "Draw a line, you bastards!"

"...Tch..." The elven knight stared at Gil, "You bastard..."

"Give it a try... Of course!"

Gilles stretched out his hand, and golden ripples suddenly spread out. A golden Noble Phantasm was launched directly out. After a strong sound of wind breaking, accompanied by the "whoosh" sound of the Noble Phantasm piercing through a body, an invisible elven knight was directly nailed to a tree and let out a wail.

“Don’t learn these sneaky tricks…” Jill gave a “kind” smile, “or I’ll kill you all.”

As soon as Gil said this, some of the invisible elven knights around him immediately stopped what they were doing.

this person……

"As expected, you are the true Demon King, Gilgamesh!" the elven knight roared. "It was you who instigated Princess Fiana's betrayal! Were you behind all of this for the past year?!"

Jill's eyes turned cold.

"Ha... Haha ...

Gil pressed one hand to his forehead and burst into laughter, seemingly finding the elven knight's behavior quite comical.

"What are you laughing at?!" The elven knight warily raised his longsword and growled in a low voice.

"Of course you're laughing at your own stupidity, you bastard."

Gil took a step, and his figure disappeared from the elven knight's sight.

At that moment, a cold sensation appeared on the girl's neck.

"Are you mistaken about something?" Jill's angry voice rang in the girl's ears.

The opponent had already gotten close without us even realizing it!

“If I wanted to kill that old bastard of Audisia and install Fiana as queen, I could simply chop down all those who opposed me in front of everyone, and then ask who dared to disobey. Wouldn’t that be faster?” Jill shifted the Demon Slayer sword in her hand, drawing a small bloody gash on the girl’s neck. “Why would I, with power surpassing all of you, bother with such troublesome assassinations? Besides, if I wanted to kill, is there anything in this world I couldn’t kill?”

This statement is absolutely true.

If Gilles wanted to destroy those countries, all he had to do was recklessly pick up the Ea sword, go to a place and unleash it once, then spread the word that anyone who didn't want to die should come to him, and he could easily rule the continent.

Why use assassination as a method?

Moreover, if Jill were to orchestrate an assassination, she would be absolutely certain that she would not leave behind the slightest clue, nor would she allow the assassin to be caught. Jill was confident that she could devise a flawless plan.

Moreover, there are many methods of assassination.

Poisoning and assassination are two incredibly simple methods, yet Jill can manipulate them in countless ways, orchestrating a series of interconnected plans. What you think is the end of an assassination attempt is actually just the beginning of another...

But wisdom is a tactic used only when facing an opponent worthy of respect.

In short, even if the Austrian Empire were to give up its entire nation, Gil wouldn't take it seriously.

"Foolish knight, here's some advice... Take those bastards from the Holy Kingdom of Lugia and get the hell out of here right now... My dearest friend is still resting, and if you disturb his rest..."

Jill gently patted the girl's cheek with the flat of the Demon Slayer sword. "I will leave you all behind, but only your heads. Then I will storm the capital of Austroasia and slaughter all the royal family members except for Fiana. Do you understand? Don't think I wouldn't dare to do it..."

After saying this, the Elf Knight saw Gil return to the front of the dormitory once again, as if he had never left there.

The moment the chilling sensation and the feeling of death left him, the elven knight collapsed to his knees, his body still trembling.

Because of fear, but not only because of fear.

This man... he really might do that!

"Alright, get out of here. I haven't eaten yet. Are you planning to stay and have lunch with me?"

Gil said this to the girls in front of her in a tone that was neither a smile nor a laugh.

Chapter Forty: Enkidu's Suspicion

"Ugh... Everyone, retreat!" After much hesitation, the leading elven knight issued the order to retreat in an extremely unwilling tone.

There's nothing we can do.

There's no way to win against them head-on; they clearly aren't afraid of this group of two hundred people at all.

At this point, there was no better option than a temporary retreat...

“You will regret what you have done,” the elven knight said, frowning.

“…Oh, right, I forgot something.” Jill turned around. “When is Fiana’s execution date?”

The elven knight stared at Jill as if she'd seen a madman. "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Yes, I know, or rather, I know it very well..."

Jill nodded. "Then I'll release the announcement. You can report it if you want, whatever you prefer..."

Gil pointed a finger at the elven knight, "Three days from now, I will abduct Fiana from the execution ground unharmed!"

"Do whatever you want, defend with all your might, stop me with all your abilities!" Jill grinned. "Of course, if I find out you've broken your promises, carried out the executions early, or brought in an imposter or something..."

Jill stretched out her hand and then threw a punch.

Ten meters away, a large tree was blasted open, leaving a fist-shaped hole.

This scene startled the elven knights.

“Believe me, you never want to see that outcome.” Jill smirked. “Prepare to die, you bastards!”

"Then, get out of my sight!"

……

Back inside, Jill sighed again.

"Ah, everyone get ready," Jill said, looking at the girls. "We're going to rescue someone."

When the words "Save people?" were uttered, everyone looked at Jill.

"In short, Princess Fei was framed for assassinating the Emperor, and those people were originally coming to arrest us." Gil casually said the words that made the group of girls turn pale. "I chased them away, and I also got the information I wanted. Fiana will be executed in three days, and what we need to do is break her out of the execution ground."

"...This is too reckless! Master, why do you always do things like this?" Lian held her head, feeling a bit of a headache.

Jill raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say you were going to cause trouble for me. You just need to provide backup. If you're discovered, escape to the Duchy of Doragonia. The Knight King shouldn't be gone yet, so if you go to her, she'll help you."

"Besides, aren't there some people in the Dragon Kingdom who are quite interested in you, Ren?" Gil casually began to arrange the girls' escape routes. "Of course, if the Holy Kingdom of Lugia puts pressure on the Dragon Kingdom, you can change your route and go to the Alphas Theocracy. Ren, you are the Dark Elf King, so you can take control of the forces there along the way. Rubia is probably there now because of her status, right? That would give you more support..."

Lian's lips twitched. "Master, we haven't even started yet, and you've already planned out our escape route... How little faith do you have in us..."

"No, although it sounds harsh, it's not that I don't have faith in you, but rather in the others."

Jill half-closed her eyes, "However, if Claire could see her true power, she could be a considerable asset... As for the others, let's forget about them, if I'm not mistaken..."

Gil approached Lian and whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The Holy Kingdom will definitely send out an Elf King to defeat me... At that time, I will definitely not be able to protect you and fight at the same time."

"..." Lian opened her mouth, wanting to say that she could also help, but for some reason, she found it difficult to say those words.

Although she is already considered an Elf King, she is still a half-baked Elf King.

Because she has not yet inherited the most important thing from the Dark Elf King.

"But don't be discouraged." Jill rubbed the girl's head. "I'll leave the rearguard duties to you. No matter how many men they send, you fight them all back! I allow it!"

The girl nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

Jill smiled slightly, "Don't be discouraged yet. Once we get to the Dragon Kingdom, I'll have time to give you some training... But not everyone has arrived yet, so please bear with it a little longer."

……

Meanwhile, Aresia Academy also received a peculiar visitor.

At least the other party found Grevas without triggering any alarms.

Now, in Grevas's office, the young man, dressed in a stern dark blue uniform, is sitting in a chair looking at Grevas across from him.

"...You must be the headmaster of this academy," the young man said in a calm voice.

The boy looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with an extremely calm demeanor. He wore a pair of very ordinary glasses and black gloves. "I've come to ask you about something."

"...Hey kid, you're interesting...Your aura reminds me of someone...But what price will you pay to get information from me?"

Grevas narrowed her eyes, adjusted her monocle, and asked.

The young man remained calm and composed. "I'm just gathering information. What price do I have to pay?"

"Based on the information you gathered, let me make this clear: there are some questions I'll refuse to answer," Grevas said.

“Alright, then, the first question.” The boy looked at Grevas, his brown eyes questioning, “Do you know Gilgamesh?”

A slight smile appeared on Grevas's lips. "Oh...?"
