Chapter 552: Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei heads to Nazarick

Three of the "Four Knights," the strongest human magic caster, plus the ten members of two adamantite-ranked adventurer teams.

Reasonably speaking, such a lineup could almost go to challenge a Demon God.

The reason Jircniv put on such a big show was, on one hand, for his own safety.

On the other hand, it was also to let the owner of the ruins understand that although he was at fault, he was, after all, the Emperor of the Empire.

As long as he wanted to, he could pull out a team capable of rivaling a Demon God.

"I didn't expect that for this meeting, Your Majesty would hire two adamantite-ranked teams, 'Silver Thread Bird' and 'Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei.'

Your Majesty must also want to give the owner of the ruins a warning, right?

After all, the other party had their envoy barge directly into the palace and killed so many Imperial knights right in front of Your Majesty."

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the "Bloody Emperor" opposite him, "Lei Guang" Baziwood, who knew Jircniv extremely well and was also the most loyal of the "Four Knights," spoke.

"Well, there is indeed such an idea in it, but it is also a fact that the enemy's strength cannot be underestimated.

'Dragon Hunt,' 'Four Armaments,' 'Heavenly Martial,' 'Heavy Smasher'—among these top workers of the Empire, there are quite a few characters whose strength is not weaker than yours, right?

Even that 'Heavenly Martial' is said to possess strength rivaling the Kingdom's Warrior Captain, right?"

And since the owner of the ruins possessed the ability to make them all lose contact, it meant that the other party was an opponent worth treating with such caution.

"But Your Majesty, 'Silver Thread Bird' is one thing, but is it really okay to hire 'Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei'?

This meeting should also be considered a state affair of the Empire, right? Although the stance of adventurers generally does not interfere in disputes between kingdoms.

But isn't the leader of 'Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei' not only a noble of the Kingdom but also the fiancée of the Kingdom's prince?"

Facing the question from "Gale" Nippul of the Four Knights, Jircniv also showed an expression that everything was under control.

"Indeed, if there were a choice, the Kingdom's other two adamantite-ranked adventurer teams, 'Darkness' and 'Shura King,' would be better hiring targets.

Setting aside 'Darkness,' who refused my recruitment last time, I have always wanted to meet 'Shura King.'

But due to special reasons, these two adamantite-ranked adventurer teams are currently unable to accompany us to see the master of the ruins."

"And I thought about it carefully afterward and felt that bringing 'Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei' to those ruins might not be a bad thing.

Do you think an existence that would live in a tomb and ruins would be human?

Think again about the giant dragon and the dark elf who came to hold us accountable before; do you think the master of the ruins is really human?"

Facing Jircniv's rhetorical question, the Secretary-General beside him immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

"I understand. The location of those ruins is at the border between the Kingdom and the Empire.

And if the master of the ruins is really a powerful non-human race, then it is not just our Baharuth Empire that should feel worried and troubled."

After the Secretary-General's words, the Imperial group present suddenly saw the light, and their eyes looking at Jircniv were full of admiration.

Should they say that he is worthy of being their Emperor? Even when facing such an unfavorable situation, he did not forget to drag the Kingdom, which was a rival, into the water.

That's right, the principle that one cannot allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed.

The Empire would feel uneasy about the powerful ruin force, and the Kingdom, which was adjacent to them, would naturally feel the same.

This time they hired "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei," and the other party provided them with safe escort while also being the best messenger for their Empire.

Seeing is believing; if it were the one-sided words of their Empire's people, the new King of the Kingdom might not believe it, after all, the hostile relationship between the two countries was almost laid out there.

But if it were the Kingdom's adamantite-ranked adventurers who saw what happened here and then reported it to the Kingdom, the situation would be different.

Moreover, Lakyus of "Blue Cang Cang Qiangwei" was not an ordinary adventurer; she was the fiancée of the Kingdom's Third Prince.

In other words, Lakyus also had a certain status and identity in the Kingdom, and the information she conveyed would be more convincing than others.

At the beginning, the group heading to the Great Tomb of Nazarick had a quite relaxed attitude, thinking that with their lineup, this mission should not have any risk.

But when the Empire's team arrived at the gate of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and saw Yuri and Lupusregina coming to welcome them, as well as an entire team of Death Knights, the Empire's group and the adventurers were all stunned.

Especially when they met, Yuri even used the excuse of bad weather to show off a seventh-tier magic—Control Weather.

Seventh-tier magic was a barrier that humans could absolutely never cross, even for Fluder, who was known as the strongest human magic caster.

And now, the maid who came to welcome them had easily used this tier magic that humans could absolutely never use.

Didn't this mean that this ruin, just by having a maid come out casually, had strength surpassing their strongest human magic caster!

"Although I don't know what their specific race is, the only thing I can be sure of is that they are not human."

As a vampire, Evileye saw at a glance that Yuri and Lupusregina, although they looked no different from normal humans on the outside, were fundamentally not the humans they imagined based on their blood aura.

"Your Majesty, these big guys—even if we 'Four Knights' all go together, I'm afraid we won't be able to win against even one..."

When they saw the Death Knights appearing in groups, "Lei Guang" and the others, who had been full of confidence before, were instantly unsettled.

And looking at the group falling into panic all around, Jircniv couldn't help but show a bitter smile: "It seems we were given a warning by them first?"

"Four Knights" plus the strongest human magic caster, plus two adamantite-ranked adventurer teams—originally, Jircniv was quite confident in their combat power for this trip.

But now, the main character hadn't even been seen yet, and the tip of the iceberg shown by the other party had already made their side completely lose their fighting spirit.

The undead capable of rivaling the strongest of the human Hero Realm were only serving as cannon fodder here?

And what was even more ironic was that the Empire's elites, the "Four Knights," whom he had spared no effort to promote, probably couldn't even win against one of the other party's cannon fodder!

"Death Knight... the Supreme Being you speak of, could it be Ainz Ooal Gown?"

Hearing the name Lakyus blurted out, Yuri and the others responsible for welcoming them, as well as Jircniv who came to apologize, all showed expressions of surprise.
