My queen always makes my survival more difficult

"Who?"

Ulki didn't really care, after all, it was just Edvira.

"You will know later how terrifying that demon is..."

After saying this, Lenora fainted from the severe pain.

Chapter 263 The Devil is Coming

"Horrible demon, really funny"

Ulki doesn't think that there are any terrible demons in this world.

"General! The enemy's surprise attack has broken through our defenses!"

"What!?"

Before Ulki could breathe a sigh of relief, another scout came riding over.

"General! The enemy attacked from the left wing! The left wing troops were dispersed by the enemy."

"what happened..."

Ulki was puzzled. Who on earth was that terrifying demon?

Who is that terrible demon?

But it doesn't matter. There are more than 20,000 troops here. It should be just a desperate fight of trapped beasts as Edvira can gather such a large number of troops now. But this is not right. Maybe he really has gathered a special army. It's better to be careful.

"Order the entire army! Stop this enemy, no matter the cost! It would be best to capture the enemy leader for me. I want to see who dares to launch a surprise attack!"

He had nothing to be afraid of, as his own army was right beside him, and the people in the fortress obviously had no intention of coming out. He was only dealing with a surprise attack force, which was most likely just an enemy surprise attack force that wanted to disrupt the situation and give the fortress a chance to breathe.

"General! The enemy is coming! They are unstoppable!"

"what?"

Urouge was shocked. Did the Kingdom of Edvira still have an unstoppable army? Could it be Patisia? But that was impossible. Patisia would never rush out to fight now. Her injuries were self-inflicted, and Urouge knew just how severe they were. Furthermore, her wounds were all caused by that potion; healing wouldn't be easy!

It definitely couldn't be Paticia! It had to be someone else!

Is there anyone else in the Kingdom of Edvira who can do this?

This is really unbelievable. Joe is at the fortress now and can see everything from here. Who is launching the surprise attack?

"Wake her up!"

"Yes!"

The soldier grabbed Lenora and pinched her philtrum, but Lenora did not react.

"General, she's in shock..."

After checking, they found that Lenora was in shock and the severe pain was caused by shock.

"Damn it, use the healing power to deal with it first."

"Yes!"

Soon, the military doctor arrived. After taking a look at Lenora's condition, he immediately used his power to condense something like a pill in the light array.

"She wasn't just in severe pain, she also took a drug that could enhance her strength. It must have been made by an alchemist. This drug has serious side effects, but it's okay now."

"Go down"

"Yes"

After a while, Lenora opened her eyes little by little.

"You're not dead yet, so you should be happy, proud lady knight."

"General! Please retreat! They are coming to kill us!"

The sound of war horses neighing could be heard in the distance, accompanied by the unfolding of powerful light arrays, creating chaos.

"The enemy has 20,000 soldiers! They are surrounding us from three directions. If the enemy soldiers inside the fortress come out again, it will be difficult for us to stop them."

"Damn it, they actually gathered 20,000 people!"

Could it be that the Kingdom of Edvira can still struggle?

Lenora knew that this was not just because of the 20,000 people, but also because they were led by that damned demon...

Chapter 264 Let’s Go

"Ah!"

"Good morning"

"Good morning...are you still here?"

Edith was a little surprised that West was still sitting there even after a whole night.

West closed the book in his hand. After spending a whole night in the world, he finally finished reading the book. He felt a little tired. It was time to go out for a walk. It was not a good idea to stay here any longer. Besides, he had to prepare things like carriages.

"We're leaving Rock Empire today. Do you want to come with us?"

"Um"

"Then pack up. I'm going to pack up too. I'll move around a bit after reading all night."

"What are you reading?"

Edith then felt a little curious. After all, this guy had been reading the book all night without a break. He was just reading that book.

"A book about your father, The History of the Duke of Houndstooth"

"That's it..."

It was a little surprising that Weiss would actually read that book. Even Edith herself didn't want to read that book. In that book, her father seemed to be deified and omnipotent. Many things were wrong. Her father had put in so much effort to accomplish that thing, but in that book, it seemed as if it was effortless. Edith didn't know who wrote that book, but that author was definitely not someone who would put an end to the Duke of Dogtooth.

"This book is a bit ridiculous, treating other people's efforts as a joke, but it's still interesting. At least I can see a lot of things... I also learned a little about your family's history. The Duke of Houndstooth is indeed an extraordinary person. Your father is also really remarkable. No wonder Anna regards the Duke of Houndstooth as her idol."

"Anna...that's Anzalock, right?"

"Yes"

"You know this..."

“Known it from the beginning”

"Then why can you accept her? After all, she was once a man."

"What's so hard to accept? Anna is an outstanding talent and a beautiful girl. Do you treat her as a man when you see her now? Although I was very resistant to her abnormal existence at the beginning, after getting to know her for a while, I fell in love with her. She is a good woman. Maybe it's because she was a man before. That guy understands me better than anyone else and can support me in making choices. Even if he really is a man... I might still like him."

"I can't understand this."

"I can't help it. Most people can't understand this. After all... it's not something everyone can accept, but I'm willing to accept it, no matter how weird it is. You see, I'm a weirdo myself, so there's nothing hard to accept."

"So you are willing to accept all abnormalities?"

"As long as it's beneficial to me, why wouldn't I accept it? I would still decide to accept those things for the sake of benefits. If I say I don't care about those things, I don't think you would believe it either."

This is true. If he said that he was not doing it for profit, Edith would not be willing to believe what he said. As long as interests are involved, these words become extremely true.

"I'm going to prepare. You should hurry up and leave Rock Empire as soon as possible. We can talk about the rest later."

"Um"

"So we have to take Edith with us. After that, we will meet up with the army in the Heris Territory and then set off for the battlefield of the Sidiliya Empire."

"All the arrangements have been made clear. As for how to fight, it will be up to you when the time comes."

"Honestly, I don't like to do anything like massacre. Can you please be a little more..."

"No, only you can do this, so I still have to rely on you to complete this task."

"All right..."

Massacre, in fact, you don't have to run away to massacre, there are many ways to solve it, but massacre is the simplest way to do it maliciously, but...

For West, using powerful force to crush weak force is not something worth doing, but in order to win, he can only do so. As for what will happen next, it doesn’t matter. As long as he can do it, everything will be safe.

Even though I thought so...

But till now, there seems to be nothing to do...

Wester didn't know how strong Sidiliya's army was. What if there was a powerful person there?

Although I learned a lot of things from those spies, they didn't know about the power. I can only say that these things were hidden deep inside the Sidiliya Empire and it was not so easy to find them. If I want to find those things, I have to continue to go deeper into it.

Qiluo was not by his side at this time, so collecting intelligence was not so easy. But if he called Qiluo over, there would be no one to guard the house in Li Country, which was absolutely not allowed.

Among the others, those people are not completely trustworthy yet, so we still have to leave one trustworthy person behind.

"Are you worried about the intelligence?"

"Well, we don't have any information about Sidiliya right now. At least, there's no need for us to go there anymore. There's no point in going there."

"I understand your idea, but we don't have anyone who can collect intelligence from Sidiliya right now, unless the demihumans are willing to help us, for example..."

Anna looked in Edith's direction.

"Okay, I get it. I will tell you what I know, but the price is that you will not allow me to participate in the war again. You can handle the battle with the Sidiliya Empire on your own."

"Okay, I won't interfere with you, because this matter is also for the sake of Rock Empire, that's why I want to find you."

"Humph"

Edith would never believe this. This guy was just after information. However, this was not information that could not be told. It didn't matter even if he told it. For them, it was still necessary to get information, and there was no need for him to hide it.

"The carriage is ready."

Ophelia rushed back.

"There's nothing going on in the imperial capital right now. Most people are preparing for the upcoming battle. The emperor seems to be trying to get Lord Edith to leave the Rock Empire."

"Emperor, of course you want Edith to leave Rock Empire. Or rather, you wish Edith would leave Rock Empire as soon as possible."

It seemed like West was deliberately mocking Edith. Edith couldn't stand West's nonsense. She had already left and there was nothing more to say.

"I will take my butler with me; he intends to stay and continue to serve me."

"It doesn't matter, but that butler is actually someone close to the emperor, right? Are you really at ease?"

"There's nothing to worry about. He's a good guy. Although he's on the emperor's side, he's been hiding most of the things from the emperor for me. Similarly, he deeply loves the Rock Empire and is a good guy. After arriving in the Kingdom of Le, I hope he can live a good life in the Kingdom of Le. He's betraying the emperor. Even if I let him stay, according to Willard's personality, he won't be able to survive."

"Okay then, let's take this person with us. It's no big deal anyway, it's just one more person. By the way, what's your housekeeper's name?"

Feroth

"Oh..."

"what happened?"

"nothing"

West thought it was a name like Sebastian, but it seems he was just overthinking it. Edith is like that, right? Edith, the Duke of Houndstooth...

"Those spies have left. Apparently, they've received the emperor's order. We can leave now."

"I see"

Tilin checked around but didn't find the spies. They had all left. This meant that the emperor was willing to let Edith leave the Rock Empire. Nothing would happen anymore and everyone could leave the Rock Empire safely. Even if something happened later, at least West was here and there would be no trouble.

"Huh...can you stop for a moment?"

Fellowes stopped the carriage, and Edith jumped out and walked a few steps.

Looking at the old imperial capital and the new imperial capital in the distance, she felt extremely complicated at the moment. She was about to leave here forever and would never come back. In the end, she didn't even have a proper goodbye. Although it was a pity, this was her destiny. Her departure was for a stronger future for the Rock Empire. Willard would be an excellent emperor. She had nothing to worry about anymore. Even if she left, she could leave peacefully without having to worry anymore.

"What will be the future of Rock Empire?"

West asked.

"It will definitely be a strong future. Willard is an amazing guy. He can definitely make the Rock Empire stronger. I don't need to worry anymore."

“In fact, I’m still very worried.”

"maybe..."

"If you want to stay, I won't stop you."

West was serious about what he said. Not everyone can leave their hometown. Even if Edith plans to stay, West will not stop her. This is her hometown, this is her home, and the people here all believe in the Duke of Dogtooth. Even if they are reluctant to leave, it is also human nature.

"I won't...I won't stay. This is for the sake of Rock Empire. I will never stay. Let's go. We have to leave here."

"Is this really okay? There's a guy coming towards you. Let's say goodbye one last time."
