Chapter 881 Meeting

As an outsider, Duanmu Huai certainly couldn't intervene in the political disputes within the Kingdom of Paletia, but he didn't need to, because soon, the king issued another order - in view of Duanmu Huai's outstanding performance in the previous battle, he and Princess Enisfia would lead a small team dedicated to air combat and be responsible for air combat.

Of course, since only Duanmu Huai and Enisfia could fly, Duanmu Huai didn't care too much at first.

Until he met Enisfia...

"What the hell are you doing?"

Looking at Enisfia followed by a team of fully armed soldiers, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

"Can they all fly?"

"That's not the case... But aren't we going to go to war? We also need a base on the battlefield... So they are mainly responsible for guarding..."

"Oh, okay, I understand, what's going on here?"

Hearing Enesphia's answer, Duanmu Huai didn't care. After all, strictly speaking, it was not wrong. If he and Enesphia were compared to pilots, then these soldiers were equivalent to ground staff, which was understandable.

But...

Duanmu Huai looked at the girls behind Enesphia in confusion, which was a bit confusing.

"Ah, this is my maid..."

"It's okay for you to bring a maid, but what about the remaining two young ladies?"

"Hey? Mr. Judge, don't you know?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Enesphia hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"In fact, my father has already ordered that all nobles of the Kingdom of Paletia must send people to participate in the battle to reclaim the Northland Fortress..."

Well, the legitimacy of the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom of Paletia comes from their ability to use elven magic to protect the people, so it is reasonable for the king to issue this order.

Oh, that's it.

Duanmu Huai also understood what Enisfia meant. Obviously, the nobles would not disobey the order issued by His Majesty the King, but they also knew that the battlefield was a dangerous place, and no one wanted their sons and daughters to die on the battlefield.

However, the battlefield is also a place for nobles to make achievements. If a noble can establish merit in this war, it is obviously a good thing.

However, it is obvious that merit and danger are proportional.

So, is there a position that can get merit without danger?

Ah, there really is.

This is the "air squad" where Enisfia and Duanmu Huai are. After all, strictly speaking, as an "air force", only Duanmu Huai and Enisfia are fighting, and the others are ground crew supporting in the rear. From this perspective, on the one hand, this can indeed be regarded as going to the battlefield, and on the other hand, it can also establish certain merits.

Although it is not big, it can at least save your life...

"I declare in advance that I am not here to establish any merits."

Perhaps the expression on Duanmu Huai's face revealed his thoughts, and one of them immediately spoke coldly. It was a girl with pale skin like a dead spirit, wearing a black lace dress and long purple hair. Although her appearance is also a symbol, looking at her sinking dark circles, she is very much in the style of a necromancer.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Tilty Kularet, a friend of this weirdo. The main reason I came here is to keep an eye on this guy, so that she won't get herself killed for some inexplicable reason."

"And Tilty is a very famous curse collector. If we are fighting against the demons, I think her knowledge will come in handy."

"……………… Hum."

Hearing Enisfia's introduction, the girl named Tilty snorted coldly and turned her head away. Oh………so she is Enisfia's friend. She came here because she was worried about her friend. This is understandable.

"Then what about that girl?"

Duanmu Huai raised his chin and pointed to another girl standing not far away, and the latter couldn't help but curl up and lower her head.

"Nice to meet you for the first time. Hello, Judge. I am Euphilia Mazenta."

"Hello, I am Judge Duanmu Huai, and this is Ogis."

Duanmu Huai nodded, and then looked at Enesphia again with a puzzled look, waiting for her to give him an explanation. Enesphia seemed to have a complicated expression and smiled bitterly.

"Ah, that's right, Miss Euphilia... is my brother's fiancée."

"Your brother's fiancée?"

"That's right, Algard, the next king, so Euphilia is the next princess."

Speaking of this, Enesphia suddenly became excited.

"How is it? Very powerful, as a daughter of a noble family, not only does she know martial arts, but she is also the first in the history of magic suitability, and she is also a favored child of heaven who is favored by the elves! And she is so beautiful! She can be regarded as the national treasure of the Kingdom of Paletia."

Looking at Enesphia's expression showing off a giant panda, Duanmu Huai also rolled his eyes helplessly.

"So, is she very powerful?"

"Of course, among the new generation, Miss Euphilia is the strongest magician!"

"Your Highness Enisfia, you say that..."

Hearing Enisfia's praise, Euphilia seemed to be very embarrassed and lowered her head.

However, Duanmu Huai frowned.

"If that's the case, then why did she come to you? As the next princess, shouldn't she fight with the prince on the front line? At least from what you said, she is not without fighting power. Facing the battle between humans and demons, the front line is in need of strong support at this moment, so why did she come here to fish?"

"Ahahaha... this..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's ruthless questioning, Enisfia immediately showed an embarrassed expression, looking around and not knowing what to say, and at this time, Euphilia spoke.

"It was His Highness Algard's order."

"The prince asked you to come?"

"Yes, His Highness asked me to come here..."

"…………………"

Duanmu Huai looked at Euphilia who was silent with her head down, then looked at Enisfia who was embarrassed next to her, and Tilty who stood on the other side and looked indifferent. The final decision………………

It has nothing to do with me.

"Well, you are already here, I won't say much, but I want to tell you that this is not a peaceful and happy place."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Euphilia looked up at him in surprise, and then hurriedly lowered her head again.

………………Your reaction is too sad.

"Of course."

Duanmu Huai glared at Euphilia.

"Only Enisfia and I can fight in the air. The enemy must want to get rid of both of us. It is impossible to defeat me head-on, so the demons are likely to choose to attack our weak points, that is, you... So, you have to think clearly. This is not a good place to fish. Maybe when Enisfia and I go out to fight, the demons will fall from the sky and kill you all, and then leave the bodies as a declaration of war to us. To be honest, this possibility is not only not small, but will become quite large as the war progresses. You must be mentally prepared for this." At this point, Duanmu Huai looked at the people in front of him coldly. "How? Are you mentally prepared for this?" "………………" Hearing Duanmu Huai's threat, several soldiers showed uneasy expressions on their faces. Obviously, Duanmu Huai's threat hit the point of their inner anxiety. And Tilty chuckled. "It doesn't matter. In fact, I want to see what the demons are capable of. I have always wanted to see the difference between the magic of the demons and the magic of humans, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. Now that I have such a rare opportunity, I will not let it go."

"Me too."

At this time, Euphilia also raised her head and stared at Duanmu Huai, mustering up her courage.

"As the daughter of the Mazanta family, as the next princess, and as a noble, I will also work hard to protect this country and its citizens, even if I have to sacrifice my life for it."

It was a statement that was very consistent with the status of an excellent student.

Duanmu Huai didn't care about Euphilia's answer. Anyone can say it, but it's another matter on the battlefield. Duanmu Huai was not worried about Enesphia's words, because he had seen the other side's battle before. At least Enesphia really killed people, and the rich lady in front of him probably hasn't even killed a chicken. It's meaningless to just recite the standard answer here.

What it's like when you're actually on the battlefield is another story.

Just don't get scared.

"Okay, let's just take it as it is."

Duanmu Huai didn't say much, just waved his hand casually, and then looked at Enisfia.

"Then, about the command."

"Father said that you can take charge."

"I will?"

"Yes."

At this point, Enisfia also looked relieved, stretched out her hand and patted Duanmu Huai's arm - the shoulder was too high, she couldn't pat it.

"Leave it to you, Judge."

Good guy, leave all the troubles to me, right?

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. Of course, he understood what the king meant. As a precious air combat force, all parts of the army must need their help. How should they choose at that time? There are only two of them, and they don't know how to split themselves, so they must make a decision. As a member of the royal family, Enisfia doesn't seem to be very popular among the nobles. If she makes the decision again, the situation will only get worse.

Duanmu Huai is an outsider and has nothing to do with the nobles of Paletia. It would be easier for him to make the decision, right?

This is a misleading output. King, remember this. I hold a grudge.

Duanmu Huai silently opened his little notebook and made a note of the king.

I will come to settle the score with you after I figure out the true identity of the magic elf.
