That unfaithful minion!

"You ungrateful traitor!" Winkel scolds Victor the Minion in front of the terrified kobold, and his voice causes him to fall to the beach. "You, you...... You. Little goblin, how can you do this to me?!"

"I swear, Your Majesty, things are not what you see!"

"That's what it looks like!" Vai

queu

replied. "I'll turn my back to you for five minutes, five minutes, and you'll split your legs with another dragon!" And it's a wyvern!"

A wyvern the size of a horse, with shiny black scales and glittering ruby eyes, would lead any minions astray—and indeed it is—to stand next to Victor. From ponies to Pegasus vankel, it's all pretty appearances, that's all. Wyverns are as groggy as cows, and they can't even breathe fire!

Winkel grabbed his servant and rode on the back of the shameless animal, caressing the scales behind its horns. He felt sick when he thought about it.

To make matters worse, the Minion also had an iron necklace that was tailor-made for the Flying Mouse's neck! This minion was going to replace Winkel and dress her up!

Of course, the treacherous minions tried to play dumb, "I'm just testing [Pterodactyl Horn Summon], I swear!"

Van Kerr was so angry that he couldn't care about him, "You fool, she's just pretty scales!" What, she let you ride on her back? Is it worth it?"

"Your Majesty, I don't-"

"No, Your Majesty, you maggot!" I've been the best dragon trainer for you all my life, will you repay me for my kindness like this? I thought we had promised a special, satisfying master-servant relationship!"

"I swear, it's not what you think." Minion Victor repeated, even though Vaquil caught him red-handed. The eagle pterosaur looked at Winkel with a wordless, smug look.

If it weren't for cannibalism, Van Kerr would have eaten that filthy guy a long time ago.

"I gave you custody of the first Minions, but you were unfaithful to me!" Van Kerr pointed his paw at their kobold. "In my elevate you!"

"Master, chief, please stop fighting," shouted the lovely Pinker.

"Your Majesty, I really, really don't like the wording of this conversation." Victor plucked up the courage to stand up and dusted the sand off his cloak. "I've just crawled on her back once!"

"I know you race have a shameful fascination with riding dragons, but climbing on my back is a very special privilege. You know I'll never give it to you, minion. But it doesn't matter. What important Winkel emphasized the word, "You're a dirty, shameless master chaser who wants to replace me with a wyvern!"

"Wait, no, of course not!" I swear, it's part of a conspiracy to trick Jiaoren and make you richer!"

"What about this necklace?!"

"It's not a necklace, it's a ring!" For you!"

Van Kerr was stunned. "Really? He asked, his greed triumphing over him. Indeed, the necklace did look like the ring he often saw on the princess's finger......

"I hope I won't regret it, but ......," Victor sighed. It is an invisible ring the size of a dragon. Just wear it and say "wink" and you'll be invisible. Remember when I sent kobolds on errands? I asked a local blacksmith to make this ring and he was happy to protect you, so didn't ask for money. ”

His first dragon-sized magic item?

No, wait, that's a little trick to win him back!" Why should I be invisible when I look perfect?"

"Your Majesty, this is a ploy against the Scorching Army," replied the minion, "so that you may be taken by surprise." ”

Yes. "It's like raiding and kidnapping a princess in front of a knight?" Winkel asked, he was well versed in this timeless strategy.

"Just like a princess and a knight." Victor replied in his usual strange and pitiful tone.

Finally, everything made sense, much to Winkel's satisfaction. "I can't believe I've ever doubted my chief of staff's loyalty to me. Why do you want me to doubt you? I want to eat you. Winkel complained that his boss had mishandled the matter. I forgive you for the misunderstanding. ”

"I will always owe Your Majesty a favor."

"Of course, since you are mine," Winkel said in one of the obvious words. "Now, before I change my mind, give me the ring."

In this way, in the twilight sun, Winkel accepted the conciliatory gift of the minions. Manlin Victor placed the ring on his master's left ring finger, and the Minions applauded happily while the Wyvern sulked in the corner.

His first magic item!

Congratulations! In order to reconcile with your trusted vassals and strengthen your relationship, you have gained two ranks in [Nobility]! You have been granted the privilege of [noble duty]!

[Noble Duty]: When you protect your subjects from outsiders, all your stats gain a temporary boost.

"Your Majesty only needs to blink an eye, and-"

"Blink!" Winkel's scales became transparent. "I can't see myself."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are invisible." Victor said, the kobold stroking the wyvern behind him.

"Yes, but it's one thing to imagine the world without me, and it's another thing to 'see it with your own eyes,'" Winkel complained. After all, he denied everyone the pleasure of watching him. "Hey, minion, when will I get my perks?"

"Soon, Your Majesty, soon,......" Servant Victor paused for a moment, and his eyes turned to the nearby city. Huh?"

"What's wrong, minion?" Van Kerr glanced in Hudmer's direction and saw a thick layer of white fog spreading, threatening to engulf the entire city. The dragon couldn't smell it, and it couldn't hear anything inside. Odd. "Night fog?"

"Spreading so fast at this time?" Victor shook his head. "Nope. Team Jiao's back, sir. The town was under attack. ”

"The Rangers are ready to attack, sir!" Red said, the kobold struck a brilliant battle stance, and the wyvern screamed hoarsely behind them.

"Can the king blow the fog away with his wings?" Victor asks his unseen master.

"Of course." It doesn't get any easier for dragons.

"Alright, ranger, come with me, we'll scout ahead." Victor walks through the fog, his retinue following.

Winkel was ready to fly away and let the weather see who was the owner of the place, but he struggled a bit. When he flapped his wings, he ended up overdoing it and landed on the sand a few seconds later.

Because he could no longer see his wings, it was difficult for him to determine his direction. This dragon has never flown "blindly" in its life.

"Minions, how do I turn it off?" Wink asked, but Manlin Victor had already disappeared into the fog, "Minions? Minions!"

Victor is inexplicably disoriented, and he ends up where he wants to go. He guessed that these new lucky points had worked for him. Although he struggled to see through the fog, he spent enough time in Renette's hotel to make out its shape. Victor guessed that the mayor of the town had summoned the townspeople when the fog began to spread, in order to protect himself.

It was a good decision because the inn was under siege.

A group of heavily armed men armed with bows, swords, and axes surrounded the place, led by a heavily armed knight and a priest. Victor immediately recognized them as Virman and Gustav; To his horror, he also noticed that Henry Bright was gagged near Velman and chained to a horse. The scholar was covered in sword scars all over his body and had lost a lot of weight.

Thankfully, the Heat team hasn't noticed Victor yet. "Rangers?" Victor's voice disappeared in the fog. Damn, he lost the kobold. He hoped they were okay; Whether they were monsters or not, he couldn't let them be killed by bandits.

Victor saw Renette and the others through the inn window. The townspeople shut themselves up inside, watching with concern the attack of the bandits.

"Hello, friends," the pastor introduced himself. "I'm Virman, François Villeman. We are here for peace. If you open the door and let us ransack the inn, we'll let you go unscathed!"

Victor hoped that Renette would not be stupid enough to believe him. After waiting for a minute, the door did not open, and it turned out that she was not there. "I'm going to smash the door open." Gustav said, holding a very heavy Claymore in one hand and a large shield in the other.

"No, my friend, there is no need for such trouble," replied Velman. "Since they shut themselves up, I set the place on fire and burned them alive. You and your people can kill those who want to escape. ”

"It's not fair, you're going to get all the experience."

"I want my next archer, Pe

K, sir. An archer grumbled to Velman. With it, I'll never miss again!"

"Yes, I understand, but it's fast, and we have to act before the dragon finds its way in." The priest turned to Victor, apparently seeing that he was fine in this unusual weather. "Well, do you think that?"

Victor sighed, and a dozen members of the Heat Team looked at him. He might as well try to stall and wait for Winkel to blow the fog away. "That's the [Bewitching Mist] spell, right?" Quite a high-level spell. I didn't expect a level 13 bishop to have access to it. The last spellcaster I saw using it was when he was twenty-five or sixteen. ”

"Familiar with the spell? I want Nightblade to know about it. "Virman insisted on mentioning the criminal syndicate." My profession, the Fallen Bishop, allows me to cast powerful spells by offering sacrifices to my dark gods. So we caught a peasant on the way here. ”

Disgusting.

"By the way, it's your fault," said Virman, "that we want you to get out of town and save poor Henry from us, but you don't, you shameless devil. Abandon a civilian to death? Timid. ”

"Yes, try to lure the brave knight away from the town you want to plunder. This is the first trick of the outlaws. I'm almost certain you've killed him. ”

"Henry? No, it's always good to have emergency offerings on hand, just in case. Don't stare at me, he betrayed you first. ”

That doesn't mean it's right.

That's what they planned? [Disorienting fog] reduces the sound within its radius and causes people to get lost in it. They thought they could use the weather to prevent the dragon from burning the place from above without friendly fire. Simple, but effective.

Why did they insist on sacking Haudemer instead of wisely fleeing from Winkel? Victor guessed that they had some other motive than robbery. "Why the hell are you besieging that inn instead of boarding a ship and fleeing the country?"

"In the end," said Virman with a smirk smile, "but our employer, Brandon Moore of Ishfania, asked us to recover a magical apple buried at Haudemer's feet." Once we get it, we leave. ”

iPad? Victor wants to give it to them, but realizes that they will kill everyone. These guys kill as many people as gold for easy levels.

Virman coughed, "So, since you're a thief yourself, why don't you join us?" Joining the Raiders is more profitable than fighting us, and I want someone who can tame dragons to join my ranks. In this way, you live. ”

Yes, it's a great idea to join an organization that leads hierarchical betrayers and despicable in their names. There's no way you could go wrong. So fighting became the only option. Point him out: thanks to Winkel, he has powerful equipment, and the dragon could come here at any moment......

These two monsters are twice as high as him, and they have their own minions.

Their own Minions? Damn, he's almost Winkel.

A wise man once said that criminals are a group of cowardly, superstitious people. "Please allow me to pay me back." Victor revealed his [Pterodactyl Horn Summon]. "Surrender now, I won't use this dragon-summoning horn to bring Venquil to your doorstep."

Vilmai

Laughed. "Friend, I have the 'Treasure Hunt Eye' skill. It was just a trinket for a flying dragon, and it couldn't tie a big red dragon at all. ”

"That's what the wrong description will make you believe." Victor lied. "It wasn't until I unlocked its secret power that it began to function. How do you think I tied that dragon to my will in the first place?"

"Nonsense." Gustav said impatiently. "Enough talking. Join or die. ”

While Virman and Gustav were too cunning to be fooled, Victor could see their men hesitating. He hoped that their fear of Winkel outweighed their trust in the leader.

"Your loss. Vajkir, I call you!" Victor blew his horn.

"Archer!" Gustav shouted, and the archers had their weapons ready to shoot Victor. At the same time, Velman began to chant incantations. "Listen to my signal—"

"Wait, above! One of them interrupted him.

The shadow of a wyvern appeared above their heads, its outline obscured by the fog.

"The dragon is coming!" One of the archers shouted, and then immediately lowered his weapon, feeling very frightened. The wyvern let out a scream in the fog. One of the outlaws immediately fled, and the rest lost their courage.

"Wait, go back, coward!" Gustav raised his sword, but his men had already begun to flee. Even Velman's horse dragged Henry away when he saw the Wyvern. "I'm going to cut off your head!"

"Good!" Virman announced that the two criminals were resigned to their fate. "[Summoning a small demo-]"

With a dagger in both hands, Victor interrupted Virman at a speed he didn't know he could achieve. With a lightning bolt of reaction, Bishop Fell fended off one of them with his sword, while another of Victor's weapons slipped past his guard, stabbing him under the shoulder.

Victor sensed he might have a chance to win in a close-quarters fight with Velman. The priest has more ranks, but in the spellcasting, healing profession.

Unfortunately, it's a two-on-one battle.

Gustav rushed to his allies and pounced on Victor with his shield. Victor's [Sun Bracers] are activated, giving him new strength and vitality. The blow almost knocked him to the ground, but the monster squire managed to get back to his feet.

Without giving him a respite, Gustav swung his sword and tried to slash at Viktor, who dodged the blow. Unable to hurt his enemies with his heavy armor, the monster squire tries to bypass him to find Velman, but the cunning Gustav always stands in his way.

"Skill!" As Viman cast the spell, an evil red light surrounded him, and his other hand searched under the cloak. Victor guessed he was looking for a potion to heal his wounds.

Instead, he took out a flintlock pistol and aimed it at Victor.

Carrying a gun to a sword fight? That liar! Before Viman pulled the trigger, Victor touched the [necklace] around his neck. He only has three charges, so he'd better let them work. "Fire charge!"

The enchanted necklace is activated, releasing a fireball with crimson sparks. The projectile hit Velman, interrupting him, but the flames did not spread to his clothes. The criminals must have cast some kind of fire spell to prevent Kerr from breaking through the fog.

Virman shoots like a madman, apparently not caring if it will hit his allies. Victor swoops to the ground, and a bullet passes through the window, killing an unfortunate bystander.

Gustav is a pragmatist who tries to attack Victor before he can get back up, and the monster squire attacks his necklace again in retaliation. The Scorching One hid behind his shield and crushed the cannonball like a champion.

Yes, the chief of staff alone could not beat that knight.

"No!" Cursing at his new job, Victor got back on his feet and rushed towards Velman. He managed to get past his accomplice's defenses and move between the two scorched men. Gustav tried to stop him, but the wyvern that circled them from above pounced on him like an eagle. Her claws and fangs hit his armor, but didn't pierce it.

Unable to reload quickly enough, Velman threw out the pistol and slammed it with his long sword. Victor removed the sword before it stabbed him in the heart, but the sword struck him on the left side, bleeding.

Damn, what is that greedy dragon doing? Ignoring his reservations about killing humans, Victor stabbed the bishop back. His dagger pierced his left eye, and the criminal's face was splattered with blood.

It didn't kill Viman, but it angered him. Behind Victor, Gustav cut off one of the dragon's wings with his sword and pinned her to the ground with his shield, ready to kill the beast.

Viman casts a spell that moves his bare hand towards Victor's torso. There was a gurgling sound of dark energy around his fingers......

Then, five kobolds jumped out of the fog behind them and grabbed Velman's arms, legs, and head. "For Your Majesty!" They immediately shouted, biting the priest's flesh and interrupting his incantation.

Congratulations! By ambushing stronger enemies in battle, your kobold's class level is increased by one level!

"Strength!" Red said, poking his little paw into Velman's other eye. "I can feel its power!"

"My eyes!" Velman struggled to break free of the kobold, screaming in pain. When the criminal loses his sword, Victor drops one of his daggers and steals the sword. Then he stabbed the bishop back in the chest with his own weapon.

The depraved bishop fell to the ground in agony, and the kobolds were still biting him and scratching him.

"Evil, you coward!" Gustav slew the Wyvern with his sword, and he rushes to Victor to save his ally. The monster squire, distracted by the pain in his chest, failed to dodge in time, and Gustav hit him with his shield.

Fissure! The blow knocked Victor against the wall of the inn, and after a sharp pain, his left shoulder went numb.

"Sir!" Yellow tries to protect Victor, but is cut in half by Gustav with his sword. With another merciless swing, he knocked Blue down.

The other kobolds immediately tried to fight back, but they were no match for the knights. Gustav kicked Pink in the face like a puppy, knocked out Red with his shield, and when Black tried to attack him from the side, he hit him with a backhand. The confrontation lasted only a few seconds.

"Can you heal yourself?" Gustav asked Velman, who was crawling on the ground, covered in blood, struggling to get up.

"I use those...... The Interrupt Spell is exhausted...... It's mine...... Special Points. ”Vilmai

Cough. "I need help...... to be able to walk. ”

"Regrets".

Without remorse, Gustav stabbed his ally in the back with his sword, killing him with a single blow.

"I'm sorry, I want that new realm more than I like you." An aura of evil enveloped the treacherous knight, further empowering Gustav. Victor uses the last fire charge, and the necklace falls apart after the last reload is depleted. The bullet slid past Gustav's guards and hit him in the chest.

In the face of the resulting explosion, the knight did not even flinch.

The rumbling sound echoed through the fog. Did the citizens of the city decide to fight back against the Scorchers? Victor couldn't have known, and he wouldn't have lived that long. With a wound in his chest and a weak shoulder, it was impossible for him to dodge Gustav's sword.

"[Attack stance]," Gustav threw away his shield and waved his sword in both hands. The murderous aura around him grew stronger, and the sheer pressure paralyzed Victor. "Now, I'm going to cut it for you slowly-"

Planks!

Gustav was crushed by an invisible behemoth and collapsed in a pool of blood.

"Minions? Minion! Where are you?" The knight's blood splattered on Winkel's invisible scales. "Minions, you're here!"

For a moment, Victor didn't know what to say.

"I can't see where I'm going, and I can't turn it off!" How can I turn off incognito?"

"You must say 'wink' again, Your Majesty......"

Winkel paused for a moment, then said, "Blink!" The veil of invisibility on the dragon's body was suddenly lifted. The beast took a few seconds to look at its scales, showing no signs of narcissism. "Much better."

The dragon spread its wings and flapped its wings, unleashing a powerful wind. The wind blew away the fog, revealing a string of ruined houses left behind by Winkel. This unseen dragon has wreaked more havoc on the city than the Coke Oven People themselves.

At least there were no civilian deaths.

"Ah, clearly," Wankel said. "I can finally hunt down the thief."

Victor glanced at Gustav's body, which was stuck at Van Kle's left foot. The dragon didn't even notice. "No, Your Majesty," he said, as Renette and the townsmen left the inn, and the danger was over. "Except for those who have fallen behind, most people run away as soon as they see you coming."

"I'll get my perks!" Van Kerr complained that every step left behind blood before finding the scorched one. "Where are you, dear guys?" Come out, I don't bite...... Not always ......"

"Victor, are you okay?" Renette rushed to the squire's side, and without waiting for him to answer, shoved a bottle of green potion into his mouth. Victor drank it and found it sweet, he felt the pain go away and his shoulder could move again.

Unfortunately, the kobolds were not as lucky as him, mourning their dead comrades. "What should we do?" Blake said, with tears in his eyes. "Little Yellow...... Yellow is the best of all our minions...... I'm long dead......"

"We sell them," Red shouted. "That's what they want."

…

"Again?" Victor asked with a wink.

"We sold them to expand Master Wink's treasures." Pinker said, black and red nodding sadly. "So that they will always be part of it......"

Victor realizes that he has experienced a strong culture conflict.

Congratulations! Bravely lead monsters to victory over powerful opponents, and you have gained seven levels of [Monster Squire]!

"I don't know how to repay you, Victor," said Renette. "You were very brave there."

Reward?

Oh hell, why not? He had nothing to lose but dignity.

"Do you want to have children?" He asked Renette.
