Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

Not only Sally, but also the residents of the outer capital also felt the wrath of the king. By the way, it reminded them of the fear of being dominated by a female tyrant...

Some residents who had just arrived might still be confused, but some who had lived in the capital long enough would instantly have the deepest fears in their memories awakened.

Five years ago, Queen Catalina also erupted in such a terrifying rage, just like today, and behind that rage came a purge of the entire court...

By the time everything was over, one third of the ministers in the imperial palace were missing. For a full six months, the capital was shrouded in bloody terror.

At this moment, the people of the royal capital felt as if they were dreaming of that bloody night.

A knight who was having a sweet dream was awakened by this real anger. Looking at the terrifying aura erupting from the palace, he jumped off the bed and screamed.

"Wow! What the hell! Is that female tyrant going to get mad again? Butler! Butler! Pack up the valuables in the house! We'll run away tomorrow... No! Today! Tonight, right now!"

Compared to the horror of some knights, an old man who was drinking outside the tavern was slightly stunned. After taking a look at the palace, he muttered to himself.

"This anger... Is the queen going to launch another purge like the one five years ago? Tsk, the capital has only been quiet for two years, and it's going to be in chaos again..."

At the same time, the military camp was also affected by this anger. For a moment, the Knights of the Royal Capital were in a panic. A female knight wearing heavy armor and holding a lance walked out of the tent, looked towards the palace with a gloomy face.

"Katerina... Last time you went crazy you forced that person away, what are you going to do this time? This time, I will not stand by your side no matter what you say!"

Having said this, the female knight calmed down her soldiers and then marched towards the palace with a lance in hand.

The anger from Queen Catalina was destined to make tonight a sleepless night for the royal capital.

Chapter 10: Queen, who should be killed?

"Sarika... I should have told you that I sent you to Irons not only to keep an eye on him, but also to ensure his safety. Don't tell me you didn't hear the second half of my sentence."

Inside the hall, Queen Katarina stood up on the stage, looking down at the dark elf who was kneeling on one knee below. Her beautiful eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage, and the air seemed to be resonating with the phantom sound of burning fire because of this rage.

Sally lowered her head and sweated profusely. She gritted her teeth and said, "Queen Katharina, I also want to ensure Mr. Irons' safety, but this time I really can't do it. There's the Brave Man, and there's Queen Margaret... I can't afford to offend either of them..."

"Hero? The little girl who came here for a picnic?" Catalina frowned and asked, "What does it have to do with her? Explain the whole story to me."

Seeing that Katarina did not continue to lose her temper, Sally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she would not lose her head today.

So, the dark elf immediately spoke out the answer that he had prepared in his mind countless times, and told him everything from how Catherine was bewitched by the Duke of Remington to arrest Irons, to how Irons was abducted by Margaret in the dungeon.

As Sally finished speaking, Katarina's face had become so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out.

She paced in the hall with a gloomy look and asked coldly: "So, which noble is the Duke of Remington? Which faction did I leave behind?"

"...He is a descendant of the Grand Duke of the Border. Because he is far away from the capital and close to the border, he has had little contact with the capital... As far as I know, the only person he has a good relationship with in the capital is Prince Faustin..."

Hearing this, Catalina raised her lips and muttered, "Well, Faustin, right... I remember that, considering the blood relationship, she should be my cousin...

If I think about it carefully, this cousin of mine has neither helped me militarily nor made any achievements in politics...but I have never provided him with a salary to live on, so I think I am treating him too privileged.

It just so happens that I was thinking about where to locate the new national library. His mansion is in a good location in the capital, so let him... make a small contribution to the construction of the capital."

In a soft but cold monologue, Catalina sentenced the prince to death.

Seeing that the backers behind the instigator, Duke Remington, had been dealt with directly, Sally knew that the situation behind Remington himself would definitely not be much better.

However, Sally herself did not take Remington, the clown, seriously. The real problem still lay with the brave man and the devil.

She boldly asked Katarina: "So...what about the hero?"

"Hero? Ha, she's just a kid who was playing house with a bunch of insects. She's not important at all, and I don't need to deal with her. Just let her go."

Katarina commented on the hero with disdain, and then did not forget to diss the leaders of other countries: "I don't care how the king of the Inland Empire plays with her, but this is Duolun, the first line of defense after the invasion of the demons.

I don't have the leisure to play some mini-games of heroes going on expeditions with her. Anyway, she has already arrived in Blackwater City, and beyond the Great Rift is the Demon Realm. When the time comes, I will send her to the Great Rift, and the process will be completed.

However, being used by an unknown little character like Remington, it seems that this time the hero is really well protected by those old guys in the inland area. How stupid."

After talking about the hero, Katarina paused for a moment and then began to talk about the real key, the Demon King.

“As for Margaret… that demon king is indeed a trouble… Although I don’t know what her purpose is in taking Ains away, I must take Ains back from her clutches.

Ains is mine, no one else has the right to touch her! Even if she is the devil!" Katrina stretched out her hand and clenched her fist in front of her and said.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall.

"Let me in!"

"I'm sorry, General Minerva, the Queen has ordered that no one should disturb her now..."

"No one is allowed to disturb her, so she just disturbs other people, right? Hurry up and open the door so I can see her and have a good talk."

"Please don't embarrass us, General Minerva..."

Catalina was slightly stunned, listened to the sound coming from the door, and gave Sally a look.

Sally immediately nodded in understanding, and her body and mind turned into a shadow and disappeared into the hall. Then, Catalina called out to the outside of the door: "Let her in."

After Catalina's call, the dispute at the door finally stopped. As the palace gate opened, the heroic female general Minerva, holding a lance, took a deep breath and walked into the palace hall.

Looking at the empty hall and Catalina standing in the hall and looking down at her, Minerva breathed a sigh of relief. At least, judging from the current situation, the queen did not start a massacre directly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my impolite visit..."

"No problem. I just happened to want to find you." Catalina waved her hand indifferently, smiled and said, "I need you to use your Griffin Knights to accompany me."

"..." Hearing this, Minerva took a deep breath. It seemed that although the queen did not start a massacre now, she would definitely plan to shed blood later...

"Your Majesty... May I ask, what is the purpose of doing this..."

Catalina couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, aren't you very clear? Minerva, you came to me in the middle of the night because you were worried about the consequences of my anger, so you wanted to come and persuade me, right?

In that case, you still don’t know the purpose of my mobilizing the Griffin Knights? This king… wants to kill people…”

The bloody and murderous aura emanated from Catalina's body, permeating the entire palace hall. This bloody aura made Minerva, a general who had fought on the battlefield, couldn't help but feel frightened.

As a queen who had never charged directly into the battlefield, she was able to cultivate such a terrifying killing blood in her body. This could only mean that she had slaughtered too many people in ways that were not on the battlefield...

Minerva's body trembled slightly, and she shook her head firmly, saying, "I'm sorry, Queen, I can't obey your order. You should control your emotions and don't do what you did five years ago..."

Before Minerva could finish, Catalina suddenly interrupted and said, "Minerva, I haven't finished yet. Don't you want to know why I killed people?"

"…Why, Queen?"

"Because some damn bastard locked Irons up in the Blackwater City Prison, allowing the devil Margaret to take him away."

"..." As soon as Margaret finished speaking, Minerva suddenly looked up, looked at Margaret in shock, and said with some surprise: "Mr. Irons is in Blackwater City!?"

"...Yes... No, it should be said that he was indeed arranged to stay in Blackwater City for the past five years, but now, he is most likely in Demon King City. And the reason for all this is that a short-sighted noble reached out to a place he shouldn't have reached...

Now, Irons has been kidnapped by Margaret. I need you to help me do two things. The first is to kill people. Kill those blind nobles on the border.

The second thing is to rescue people. Come with me to the Demon King's Castle and bring Ains back from that bitch Margaret. Are you willing to mobilize your army to help me?"

After hearing the news, Minerva's expression became more and more subtle. A mixture of emotions appeared on her face, including joy, surprise, worry, and a hint of relief...

After these emotions fluctuated in her heart, she let out a long breath, suppressed her excitement, closed her eyes for a while, and then opened her eyes that were as sharp as blades.

If Catalina asked her to send out the army to carry out a purge of those former heroes like she did five years ago, Minerva would definitely disagree.

But now, Catalina told her to kill a bunch of nobles who had put their hands on Mr. Irons? How could she refuse? Her gun was thirsty!

"My Lady Queen, the Griffin Knights are your fastest and sharpest blade, the long whip that you use to drive all the frontier envoys. Please give the order, who shall be killed!?"

"Very good, Minerva, organize the troops immediately and have the First and Second Griffin Knights prepare for the expedition. We should try to march out as early as tomorrow morning. Our target is... Blackwater City!"

Chapter 11 Remington, fuck you!

At the border of the Duolun Empire, in Blackwater City, midnight.

On this night when the sun should have set and everything was quiet, and everyone should have gone home to sleep and rest to prepare for tomorrow's work, the residents of Blackwater City gathered in the central square of Blackwater City.

The Duke of Remington standing on the high platform in the square was the reason why the people of Blackwater City could not sleep late at night.

At this moment, hundreds of people in the square were staring at Remington standing on the stage with great resentment.

A miner grunted with gnashing teeth: "Damn, this old dog won't let me sleep in the middle of the night. If the brave man wasn't watching over there, I would have taken my pickaxe and killed that old dog!"

"Are you sure? Now that Governor Irons has been sent to prison, there is no one left to make the decision for us..."

"So what? Governor Irons said that I am the only one who can make the decision for us. Since Governor Irons has been sent to prison, we should hang this old dog and rescue Governor Irons!"

"Keep your voice down, the brave team is watching us."

"Tsk, the Brave Squad? A rubbish squad... I heard the bard sing about how righteous and beautiful it was, but they actually acted like dogs for that old dog Remington... If I had known that the Brave Squad was such a piece of crap, I might as well have crossed the Great Rift Valley and joined the Demon King's army."

"Okay, stop talking. No matter how much you say, do you dare to do it? Now Remington has a brave man standing up for him and has pushed the governor down. He is the only one who dominates Blackwater City... Tsk, you bastard who has been causing trouble for thousands of years..."

"The hero actually helped this kind of person... I don't know if the hero is blind, or if she is the same as Remington..."

The people below the platform in the square were talking and discussing at once, but basically none of them had a good attitude towards Remington and the brave man.

Faced with the angry stares of hundreds of people, the thin-skinned Catherine looked extremely anxious and embarrassed, and wanted to step down from the podium uncomfortably.

But the old bastard Remington strode onto the stage without batting an eyelid, and the first sentence he said aroused the anger of the crowd.

He opened his arms and shouted, "People of Blackwater City, my people!"

"Wdnmd, who the hell are your people, old dog!"

"Remington, old dog! Ho tui!"

"I am your shitty subject! I am your grandfather!"

"Goddess, come down! Don't be so ignorant!"

After Remington's words, the people of Blackwater City in the audience immediately tore their faces apart and started to greet each other in an extremely friendly manner. Such a grand scene really shocked the brave team next to them.

This was probably the most rude and courageous group of ordinary people towards the nobles that they had ever seen. The only one who cursed so openly was probably the Blackwater City...

However, thinking of the stories they had heard in the tavern, the brave team gradually calmed down. After all, this was just a few words of scolding.

You know, this group of ruthless people actually hanged the nobles from the city walls themselves...

What surprised the brave team even more was that Remington turned a blind eye to these curses. For a moment, the brave team couldn't tell whether Remington didn't hear them at all or was so thick-skinned that he didn't care at all.

Facing the curses of countless Blackwater City people, Remington began his impassioned speech.

"My dear people, I am sorry to take up your rest time, but as the Duke of Blackwater Ridge, I, Duke Remington, have to announce something very regrettable.

Governor Ains, who led Blackwater City to prosperity, was personally sent to the dungeon by the brave man this morning on suspicion of colluding with the demons.

What was originally waiting for Governor Irons was a fair, just and open trial with the participation of all the people in Blackwater City to determine whether Governor Irons was guilty or not.

Governor Irons and I have a very good personal relationship and we have close contacts with each other. I also believe that Governor Irons is a good governor who is upright and just, and I have no doubt that he can prove his innocence in court.

However, just two hours ago, we discovered that Governor Irons was missing in the dungeon where he was imprisoned. At the same time, judging from the remaining demonic energy at the scene, there is no doubt that Governor Irons was rescued by his demon friends.

Obviously, Governor Ains’s secret dealings with the demons have been confirmed. I feel very sorry for this. I feel sorry that such an admirable Governor actually has a dark side that is hidden and deceives me and my people..."

Remington's words filled all the residents present with anger. No one believed that Irons was taken away by the demons. Everyone pointed at Remington and questioned him loudly.

"Remington! Damn it! You're a bastard who stole the title from your brother by poisoning him. Don't think we don't know your style of doing things! Tell me! Where did you transfer Governor Irons to?"

"Remington! Damn you! Just tell me straight out loud, are you going to release Governor Irons or not?"

"Governor Ains was rescued by the demons!? You old dog, do you want to hear the excuse you made up? Why didn't you say that the governor was rescued by the demon king?!"

"Alright! We'll go wherever Governor Ains is! You said Governor Ains has gone to the demon clan? I'll switch to the Demon King's army tomorrow! When the Demon King invades, the first thing I'll do is hang you, an old dog, on the city gate!"

Looking at the indignant scene in the audience and the curses from the people of Blackwater City, each one more powerful and more outrageous than the last, the brave team on the side was stunned.

No, you guys can curse me, but why are you all turning your heads to the Demon King Army? You said this in front of our brave team, you really don't give the brave any face at all! ?

Catherine felt that if she didn't explain things clearly, the people in the audience might really rebel in front of her, so she stepped forward.

“Um…Everyone! Calm down. What Duke Remington said may not be right…but I can guarantee that Governor Irons was indeed abducted by the demons in the dungeon.

However, up to now, we still don't understand why they kidnapped Governor Ains. In addition, regarding the affair between Governor Ains and the demons... I admit that I was careless when investigating.

I can also feel from everyone's words that Governor Ains is a good and upright governor... So, I promise everyone here that all this started with me and will end with me. I will go to the Demon King's Castle and rescue Governor Ains from the demons!"

Catherine's words were heard by everyone as the magic spread. Catherine had always relied on making promises to the people to appease their hearts.

But... this time, she found that her method, which had always worked, was ineffective.

Not only did the people not calm down, on the contrary, they raised even greater doubts about Catherine!

"Brave man, you said that Governor Ains was in the Demon King's Castle. He is in the Demon King's Castle!? Why don't you be a little bolder and just say that he is in the Demon King's bedroom? It's all made up anyway. This one sounds more interesting!"

"My lord, brave! What you said is exactly what Governor Ains once said, that the high-ranking officials gave the people an empty promise in order to maintain stability! You just said that you would bring it back, but why didn't you say something in case you couldn't bring it back!"

"Brave man, you've been hanging out with that old dog Remington, why should we trust you!"

"Come on! Since the hero has personally certified it, then Governor Irons must be in the Demon King's City! Anyway, that bastard Remington is definitely a failure in managing Blackwater City, so why don't we just go to the Demon King's City and join the Demon King's army!"
