Chapter 421

Even if the Thorns Knights can fight the Black Wolf Mercenary Group, there are still a hundred thousand troops behind them!

The holy rank powerhouse is not invincible, as long as the magic and fighting spirit are exhausted, it will become very weak, and it is not impossible to deal with it with the human sea tactics.

Elizabeth felt that she still had too few cards in her hand. If the goblins in the lake could still use them, she wouldn't be afraid of the offense of Family Ofre at all.

For some reason, Elizabeth suddenly remembered Merlin, the strength of the great Elgin swordsman, it seemed that he was not weaker than the stand-in of the fairy in the lake.

If Elgin Great Swordsman is willing to help the Empire?The current difficulties should be easily overcome.

Maybe I should lower my stance and seek...

A trace of panic flashed in Elizabeth's eyes, and she held her forehead with her hand.

What am I thinking?Want to seek help from Elgin's Great Swordsman?

Now that the situation is so uncertain, Elgin's great swordsman and the royal family still have some grievances that have not been resolved.

It is obviously not a wise choice to ask someone who is not an enemy or a friend without authorization.

The idea of ​​Elizabeth begging Merlin for help was mainly because she didn't trust this guy.

The man who snatched his stockings, is this character really worthy of belief?

In addition, Elizabeth, as the queen, has a very unclear relationship with Elgin, which makes it difficult for her to make a decision.

Seeing the Queen’s expression worried, Masefield quickly said loudly and forcefully, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the members of the Black Wolf Knights will boldly leave it to us."

"Yeah, your Majesty, don't have any worries. As your sword, we have made all our awareness. Nothing is more important than your being alive." Morrison couldn't help but agree.

"Thank you, I don't have any worries, but there are some things that need to be considered." Elizabeth did not relax her frown, and asked Duke Rose again, "Apart from the Black Wolf Mercenary Group, what other powerful cards does the other party have?"

"The information I know is probably so much. The opponent's strongest trump card is the Black Wolf Mercenary Group. There should be no stronger enemies, and the trickier ones should be those monsters." Duke Qiangwei said truthfully. So much information he knows.

"Warcraft..." Elizabeth had a headache, and felt that the domesticated beasts were also difficult to deal with.

"Yes, those low-level beasts tamed by the Ofre family are not powerful, but their combat capabilities far exceed those of ordinary soldiers. When the number increases, they are not so easy to deal with." Duke Qiangwei carefully explained. Continue to inquire, "These are probably the full strength of the Ofre family now, how to deal with it, please make your own decision."

Elizabeth fell silent, thinking carefully.

The current situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak makes people a little helpless.

The strength of the Ofre family is several times that of the kingdom. If confronted head-on, there will never be any good fruits.

If you casually request the intervention of external forces, it is very likely that the wolf will be drawn into the room, and this idea cannot be used as a last resort.

Elizabeth thought about it, but she could only take some risks. The author made a decision similar to gambling. If successful, the crisis of eye circles can be resolved instantly.

"I need two warriors to lead a small team alone, sideways, sneak into the enemy's rear, and assassinate Grand Duke Ofre before the army reaches the imperial capital."

As soon as the glare came out, the ministers below suddenly began to discuss, discussing whether the Queen's order was reasonable, and it was difficult to produce results in a short time.

"Assassination... Ofre?" A drop of cold sweat ran on Duke Rose's forehead, feeling that the Queen's actions meant a bit of danger for wealth.

"Yes, it was the assassination of Ofre." Elizabeth slowly stood up from her chair. "The army of the Ofre family is not stable. Most of them are gathered together because of interests. The number of true loyalists is not Not much. As long as the bond of Grand Duke Ofre is killed, the coalition forces will fall apart, and the threat of the empire will cease to exist."

After listening to the queen's explanation, the ministers below whispered to each other, and there was no objection.

Because the current situation is very bad, it may be difficult to break through the impasse without taking some risky measures.

Even Duke Rose, who has always been cunning, didn't object, he felt that this was a choice made by the queen as a last resort.

If you don't do anything, let the Ofre family continue to wreak havoc, and it will be too late when you reach the imperial capital.

Want to rely on the few remaining troops to resist the 100,000 coalition army?It's like joking.

"The problem is that this task is extremely dangerous, and it might end up with no return. In order to take care of each other in the process, I need two warriors. I wonder who of you has the courage to take on this task?" Elizabeth did not To conceal the risk, clearly saying that this is a very dangerous task.

"Your Majesty, please leave it to me!" Masefield took the lead on one knee, and did not choose to back down.

"We are also willing to take this task!"

The other four thorn knights did not hesitate, and also knelt on one knee to beg for orders.

Even if they know this assassination mission, they will die for a lifetime, but everyone is fully aware of death.

Seeing this situation, Elizabeth was obviously embarrassed, thinking that she only needs two people, don't all jump out?

Masefield frowned and looked dissatisfied, "What are you doing?! This task is of great importance. Obviously it's safest to leave it to me! What is the fun of you guys?

"Don't say it is so light, I also want to kill the old thief, Orfrey, don't just think about eating meat by yourself, and don't even give it to others." Morrison said helplessly, "Anyway, two places. , Be sure to count me!"

"You..." Masefield was upset, feeling that Morrison, a hot-blooded bastard, was making trouble.

"You are not suitable, let me go. I have caused so much trouble to your majesty before, and the opportunity for atonement has arrived." Catherine closed her eyes, but her tone was serious, still embarrassed about defending the false queen before.

"Catherine, I said there is no need to entangle this matter..." Elizabeth looked at Catherine, worried about her deep self-blame.

"This is not entanglement, but is punished if you make a mistake. This is justified." Catherine said stubbornly.

"Uh..." Elizabeth didn't know what to say.

"What are you arguing about? This assassination mission obviously made Winifred and I go the best. It is simply a stage tailored for us!"

Milius stood up full and looked arrogant, thinking that this task was the best for him.

"Yes, the two of us are the most suitable." Winifred also stood up, agreeing with Milius' words.

"There are only two of the thorn knights who are known for their speed. It is a pity that Emanuel, the asshole, is dead, so the person who is most suitable for the task of assassinating Archduke Ofre is obvious..." Milius was unceremonious. Pointed at yourself

"only me!"

(~^~)

Chapter 6: Repaying

Although Milius looked a little arrogant, his tone was indeed serious.

"What silly thing are you talking about?" Masefield looked back dissatisfied.

Winifred, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but speak

"Milius is right. Only the two of us are suitable for this mission."

"Milius and I are orphans from the same orphanage. We have been friends since childhood. No one knows this guy better than me."

"His sword skills are swift, as fast as stars, and very suitable for fighting in a small space. Assassination of Grand Duke Ofre is naturally no problem."

"And my magic can help Milius and help him complete the task better. In terms of cooperation, I am afraid that no one of the Knights of Thorns is more in harmony than the two of us."

Milius nodded and said triumphantly, "Winifred is right. We are the most intimate partners."

"This is a very important task. Don't make a joke at this time..." Masefield's tone became a little harsh.

"This is not a joke~" Milius spread his hands and explained, "Masefield, your martial arts are too dynamic to be suitable for assassination. Catherine is good at enchantment magic defense, Morrison... Haha, midway. It’s good not to mess things up. Taken together, Winifred and I are the only candidates for this task."

"Hey, you bastard obviously looked down on me just now?" Morrison looked dissatisfied, feeling that he was full of mockery just now, "As if you were better than me?"

"Hmph, I won't yell at least during the assassination~" Milius couldn't help but vomit.

"What are you talking about?" Morrison squinted, not in a good mood.

"Enough, no need to argue about this kind of thing."

Elizabeth spoke to stop Milius and Morrison and calm them down.

Although Milius and Morrison couldn't see each other, they had no choice but to restrain their anger due to the pressure of the queen.

Elizabeth fell silent and started thinking carefully, weighing the current pros and cons.

Although Milius has an impulsive factor, it seems that it is indeed better for Milius and Winifred to act together in the assassination.

After all, they can cooperate with each other, and the degree of tacit understanding is a very good help element.

This market gamble will turn the tide, and defeat will make the situation worse.

Elizabeth raised her head, looked down, and said in a pleading tone

"Milius, Winifred..."

"Then this plan is up to you two."

A few days later.

The small town of Wrexham.

Under Merlin's care, the frail Alice has regained her spirit, and she is not as listless as before and cannot afford a weapon.

In fact, Alice suffered severe injuries from fighting with the Thorns Knights, and it was absolutely fatal to ordinary people.

But after all, Alice was strengthened by the power of the dragon, and she could recover after a short rest.

In the past few days, Merlin spoke a lot of disparaging Alice and said something ironic, but she was still healthy, taking care of this heroine.

Alice's frequent goodwill towards Merlin was always suppressed by those bad words, making her completely unable to see what the great devil wanted?

Maybe it's like Merlin said, just want to take care of yourself, and then bully yourself for fun.

But Merlin was able to take care of herself, and Alice was still a little grateful, at least she could rely on it.

Although only a few days ago, she felt very comfortable feeling being taken care of.

For the first time, Alice felt that it was not a bad thing for two people to live together.
