Two days later............

They finally reached the main city.

After walking for almost four days, everyone's legs were almost gone.

Looking at the city wall in front of me, which is several times higher than Axel, it is towering and atmospheric, unlike the ordinary stone building of Axel, which has no texture at all.

For those in the team who have never been out of town, it is as if the countryman has come to a big city, walking all the way, marveling all the way.

But there were no civilians coming in and out of the city gates, only a few heavily armed adventurers, and it looked like the entire main city was under martial law.

"Stop!"

Just as everyone was about to enter the city, they were stopped by a group of city gate guards.

"Who are you?" The guard looked at them with a blank expression.

"I'm Luna, the leader of the Axel Adventurers' Guild, and this is my proof"

Luna pulls out a certificate that resembles an adventurer's card and gives it to the guards.

The guard looked at the certificate and gave it back to Luna, but he didn't let her go, and called out to a few soldiers and walked to the back to look at the group.

After all, there are a lot of people who come to support, and it won't be good if you sneak into the demons.

At the city gate, there were also several corpses that had almost turned into thick water, and they didn't look like human beings no matter how they looked.

The guard who took the lead didn't see any clues, beckoned, got out of the way, and said with a smile: "Welcome to the main city, after entering the city in the future, you can directly enter the king's palace"

One of his men also let the city gate open.

"The King's Palace?" Luna was a little confused, according to the statutes, they should go to the main city adventure guild to report, right?

How could you go straight to the palace?

At this time, Luna suddenly remembered a person, and that was Yakumo Murasaki.

The demon crusade team walked to the end of the line, and almost all the adventurers and soldiers brought by Luna entered the main city, and the team of thirty people followed closely.

The leader of the guards suddenly jumped out again and stopped Yakumo Zi and the others.

"Which of you is Lord Yakumo-sama?"

"I" Yakumo Murasaki stepped forward.

The leader gave her a knightly salute and said very respectfully: "Lord Yakumo, Your Majesty has an order, please move to the palace."

"The king wants to see me?"

"Yes"

Yakumo's eyes narrowed, staring at the guard in front of him with his head down, looking at him like this, it seemed that he would not be able to do it if he did not agree.

"Yes, you lead the way"

"Yakumo-sama, please come here, please"

"Xiao Zi, do you really want to go? What if it's a trap? Kazuma anxiously grabbed Yakumo Murasaki's wrist.

Kazuma didn't know why His Majesty the King saw Yakumo Murasaki alone.

Conspiracy aside, even if not, he didn't want her to leave.

Yakumo Zi gently patted the back of his hand and smiled, "It's okay, you don't know my strength yet?" It's really a conspiracy, I want to run and they can't keep it at all"

"But ......" Kazuma frowned, still very reluctant.

"Kazuma, after all, this is someone's territory, if we don't even dare to see the master, others will think we are afraid of something," Yakumo Zi explained carefully.

This scene is like a couple parting, making everyone else talk about it as if they are watching a good show.

"Yakumo-sama, is she so gentle?" A young boy in the team blushed.

"Yes, a sword split a person in two, and the internal organs flowed out, and the blood was dripping, well, very gentle," Megumi whispered next to the boy.

This sentence frightened the young man's face pale, and he didn't dare to look directly at his goddess.

"Megumi," Daknis glared at her helplessly.

The latter naughtily stuck out his little tongue at her and pouted: "What I said is the truth"

When I was in the Demon Beast Forest, the methods were cruel, either beheading or dismembering, and I couldn't eat for a few days when I was really disgusting.

"Okay, come back early, we'll wait for you" Kazuma sighed, he couldn't stop it, so he could only accept his fate.

"Mmmm, don't worry, even if the king leaves me in the palace to eat, I'm reluctant to leave you little cutie" Yakumo Zi laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched Kazuma's face.

He Zhen was stunned, his face turned red instantly, terrible! That feeling came again.

He didn't know what he looked like, and in the eyes of others, he thought he was shy.

Megumi, Akua, and Daknis couldn't close their mouths in surprise.

Especially Akuya, she is the one who knows him best, a tsundere who wants to save face and has a hard mouth and a tofu heart.

Why didn't it take long for it to become an acceptance?

Am I going to go, is the world going to be destroyed?

Yakumo followed the leader and guards out of the city gate.

With no physical contact, Kazuma quickly returned to normal and turned back to his squad.

It's just that what the hell are they looking at?

"What's wrong?" And really looked at them suspiciously.

"No, Captain, it's a nice day."

"Yes, the sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, it's good for a picnic."

Kazuma Sato: "....................."

King's Palace

Ligus was in the main hall, discussing the affairs of the demons, when a knight trotted in and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, the Brave Yakumo has arrived"

"Oh?" As soon as he heard that the Lord who had destroyed the Headless Horseman had arrived, Ligus immediately ended the discussion.

"Invite her in"

"Yes, Your Majesty," the knight turned and trotted back again.

After a while, Yakumo Zi pressed the hilt of the Spirit Devouring Sword on his waist with his left hand, and walked in with a natural look.

In this world, it is permissible to bring weapons into the temple.

"Yakumo Zi has seen His Majesty Ligus" Yakumo Zi didn't bow down, but just made a gentleman's salute.

"The Headless Horsemann you killed?" Ligus was shocked, he was not surprised by the gender of Yakumo Murasaki, and he could hear it from the name.

However, this man was beyond his expectations.

I thought that the woman who could kill the Headless Horseman should be a huge body, a muscular one, and the kind that is very powerful at first glance.

Unexpectedly, it was a beautiful girl with a petite body.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Although Yakumo's appearance can be stunning at a glance, Ligus is not the enthusiastic young man he was back then, and he is already a big man.

So I didn't think anything wrong about her.

Moreover, now that the country is in crisis, he is really not in the mood to think about it.

"Do you think I should reward you?"

Yakumo Zi raised his head slightly, observed Ligus's reaction, and immediately shook his head: "Your Majesty, it is the responsibility of our adventurers to kill the demon clan, and the reward is not daring to think."

"What you said is very good, and I appreciate it very much, but because of you, the demons have caused a big attack, do you plead guilty?"

Yakumo Zi frowned, majestic, raised his head to look directly at Ligus, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what is my sin?" ”

"Or, Your Majesty thinks that if I don't kill the Headless Horseman, the demons won't attack? If so, I have nothing to say"

To refute King Ligus in public, this courage is not shared by everyone, let alone that she is still a girl.
