Just in case, Zhang Ze took out all the player equipment he picked up and gave it to Hardy.
He had checked and found that the attributes of these equipment were very poor, with the highest level being only B grade. He had no use for it at all. Even if he threw it at the auction house, he wouldn't be able to exchange it for much money. It was better to give it to the guards and civilians.
As long as these equipment are available, the lives and combat effectiveness of civilians are guaranteed.
Even if he was away and an enemy attacked the city, Hardy and the people would have the ability to protect themselves and fight back.
After arranging things in the city, Zhang Ze patiently waited for the king's army to arrive.
Near dusk, a team of more than 3,000 people appeared outside the city. The guards guarding the city immediately reported the situation to Hardy.
"Sir, the king's army has arrived at the city!"
After hearing Hardy's words, Zhang Ze immediately rushed to the city wall with him. They saw flags fluttering on the opposite side, strong men and horses, and high morale.
"As expected of the king's army, the military appearance and equipment are much better than the local armed forces."
Thinking of Hardy and his guards, Zhang Ze sighed in his heart.
The commander leading the army this time is called Quentin. He is in his thirties and is an excellent general. He once led troops to compete with the player for a fortress repeatedly. Although he failed in the end, he won the honor and was awarded the status of a high knight. .
This time he was ordered by the king to arrest a consul named Rakshasa, but secretly, he also accepted Huo Dahua's commission to get rid of this person.
The reason is simple. Howard promised that after he completed the commission, he would advise the king and grant him the status of viscount.
They were hereditary nobles, able to own their own fiefdom and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Quentin was naturally moved. Why wouldn't he dare to kill a fool who had no background but dared to touch a noble?
Just make a random excuse and say that this person tried to escape halfway, and in the process of arresting him, the sword had no eyes and he accidentally killed him...
No matter whether it is the king or the nobles, no one will question him, at most they will give him a few words of reproach.
Anyway, the result they want is to execute Rakshasa.
Looking at the small town opposite, Quentin was full of confidence.
He had already investigated before coming and found out that the city defenses in the Misery Wilderness were very poor. The local armed forces only had a few hundred people, and their equipment and combat effectiveness were very rubbish.
Looking at the thousands of elite king's troops behind him, he shook his head and sighed: "There are too many people. A thousand people are enough to deal with these country bumpkins."
"It is estimated that when the Rakshasa saw the king's army, he would be frightened on the spot. If he dared to resist, he would definitely surrender obediently."
"Maybe I can capture him without spending a single soldier... Alas, Your Majesty is really making a fuss out of a molehill."
With a wave of his hand, Quentin ordered one of his men to inform Zhang Ze of the king's order, asking him to immediately open the city gate and come out to surrender.
The subordinate took the order and went forward. After a while, he brought a message from Zhang Ze: "Never surrender!"
"Haha, you ignorant fool!"
Quentin sneered, swung his horsewhip, and ordered: "Five hundred archers will go out, give him a lesson first, and then five hundred infantry will attack the city. I want to capture the living ones... Forget it, dead ones are fine, but the corpses must be Bring it to me!”
"yes!"
A squad leader under his command respectfully accepted the order, and then the horn sounded in the queue, and five hundred archers lined up neatly.
When the city wall came within the range of the bow and arrow, they bent their bows and prepared arrows.
At this moment, they suddenly discovered that an armored man flew out of the city opposite!
The armored man spurted out fire from his feet and hands, pulling long tail flames and flying into the sky above them. Then, a row of metal brackets popped up on his back, and a dozen strange objects were sprayed out, roaring towards them. Come flying.
The archers were still standing there stupidly. They had never seen such a thing before, until a violent explosion suddenly came around them, waking them up.
Boom boom boom!
A series of dazzling fires exploded in the group of archers, and many people were blown to pieces on the spot. Those who were not dead were also shaken dizzy by the huge sound, and ran around in panic, shouting, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
The steel armor was suspended in the air, and its hands sprayed energy beams, killing the archers who were running around one by one.
In the distance, Quentin was dumbfounded, and his soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"What is this? It can fly in the sky and emit strange beams of light... is it a magician?"
Cold sweat broke out on Quentin's forehead. He now felt that today's battle might not be as simple as he thought.
In just ten minutes, almost all the five hundred archers were killed by the steel armor. He flew straight towards the king's army on the opposite side, scaring thousands of people into retreating.
"Who is the commander? Come out and speak!"
Steel Armor looked around at the crowd opposite. After a while, Quentin came out under the tight protection of dozens of shield-bearing soldiers.
"Who are you? What are you doing?" Quentin hid behind the shield, stuck out half of his head, and asked tremblingly.
Steel Armor turned to look at him and said, "My master asked me to tell you that if you don't want the entire army to be annihilated, then go back the same way you came. Otherwise, none of you will be able to leave!"
"As for the execution of Viscount Cromwell, the master will personally write a letter and report to Queen Louise."
"Now, you have three hours to retreat! Get out of here!"
After saying that, the steel armor raised his hand and shot out a beam of light, breaking a big tree not far away that only three people could hug!
Then, under the horrified eyes of everyone, he took off on the spot, returned to the city, and returned to Zhang Ze.
"...Withdraw, withdraw the troops!"
Quentin was quite self-aware and knew that his three thousand men were no match for the steel armor, so he immediately evacuated with his army.
"It's terrible! This matter must be reported to His Majesty the King and Lord Howard!"
There was fear in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "In this small wilderness of suffering, there is actually a powerful magician..."
"If we want to destroy Rakshasa, we must let the Royal Magician take action!"
On the top of the city, the guards and the people cheered when they saw the king's army fleeing in despair.
As long as Zhang Ze is here, they don't have to fear anyone!
Old Morgan looked worried, and he said to Zhang Ze: "Sir, His Majesty the King will not give up. He will definitely send more troops, and may even ask the Royal Magician to take action. You must prepare early. "
"I know." Zhang Ze nodded and said, "I will write a letter to Queen Louise to explain the whole story clearly."
"It would be best if she can help me explain it to the king. If not...then fight, I will not be afraid!"
The task of clearing this level of Demon Realm is to help Queen Louise drive away the players, and all other problems do not matter.
Zhang Ze didn't look down on any king or noble.
Even if the Kingdom of Eltra is destroyed, he will not even blink an eye. However, he is worried that Queen Louise will be affected and the mission will fail, so he maintains restraint.
What delivers letters and messages in this world is a small flying beast, similar to a pigeon, but it flies faster and can travel thousands of miles in one day.
The letter written by Zhang Ze was sent from the Misery Wilderness and arrived in the hands of Queen Louise two hours later. She read the letter with a solemn expression on her face.
"Sure enough, people with greater ability are not fuel-efficient."
She shook her head helplessly.
No matter what unforgivable crime Viscount Cromwell committed, Zhang Ze had no right to kill the noble, but he did it openly, which was a serious crime.
Originally, Queen Louise didn't want to get involved. After all, there were many forces involved, especially the aristocratic group, and she didn't want to offend.
But considering that Rakshasa was the person she recruited, and he was very capable and had made great achievements, she decided to protect Zhang Ze.
"I can only discuss this matter with His Majesty Kiir first, convince him, and then explain it to the nobles."
Rubbing her forehead, Queen Louise felt very tired. She had already sacrificed too much for this king and this country who could not support the wall, and she felt exhausted mentally and physically.
Hurrying to the palace, Queen Louise found Howard standing at the door of the palace, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Ah, my Lady Queen, you are finally here."
When Howard saw Queen Louise walking towards him, he immediately stepped forward to greet her and said with a smile: "I want to discuss something with you. But it's not convenient here. Can you please go outside?"
Queen Louise heard the laughter of His Majesty Kiel and the woman coming from the gate, her face suddenly darkened, and she said angrily: "Go away! I want to see my husband!"
However, Howard still stood in front of her with the same smile: "I'm afraid it won't work."
"I know that you came to His Majesty Kiir to talk to him about Rakshasa, right?"
Howard walked towards Queen Louise step by step, his expression turned grim: "The newly appointed consul violated His Majesty's laws and should be executed. Why do you have to stand up for him?"
"You should know better than me the consequences of offending a noble, so I advise you not to meddle in other people's business and just be your queen."
Queen Louise has a strong personality and hates threats from others. She suddenly raised her eyebrows and angrily shouted: "Howard! Pay attention to your identity! Get out of my sight before I get angry!"
"Oops... The Queen is angry."
Howard shrugged, and he sighed: "Then I can only offend...Ethan."
Queen Louise suddenly felt someone tapping her shoulder, and then she found that her body became weak and she collapsed in Howard's arms.
Behind him, the young magician with the crow on his shoulder just reached back and stepped aside respectfully.
Howard gently lifted Queen Louise's golden hair with his hand, and said with a lewd smile: "Queen, don't worry. When I become the new king, you will still be my beautiful queen."
Queen Louise could not speak. She stared in horror and allowed Howard to pick her up. The group got into the carriage and left the palace.
Back at his residence, after Howard arranged for Queen Louise, he turned to Ethan and said: "You have done a good job. When the matter is completed, I will make you the president of the Royal Association of Magicians."
He stretched out his hand, shook hands with Ethan, and said with a smile: "Congratulations in advance, President Ethan."
Ethan's face was full of excitement and he nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Howard!"
"However, we still have a few problems to solve."
Howard opened a secret letter, which was sent back by Quentin and arrived almost at the same time as Zhang Ze's letter.
"This Rakshasa is more difficult to deal with than I thought." Howard shook the secret letter, but a happy look appeared on his face.
"But it's better this way. The more difficult the enemy is to deal with, the easier it will be to convince Keir and the noble group to ask the Royal Magician to fight."
He chuckled and said: "The royal magicians are a big worry for me. If it weren't for them, I would have ordered those players to attack the capital and help me ascend to the throne."
Because of the power of the Royal Magician, Howard did not dare to act rashly. He was afraid that the players were no match for the Magicians, and his plan would be ruined, and he might even get burned.
However, now the consul named Rakshasa has created a rare opportunity for him. The enemy cannot be dealt with by the king's army, so he can only ask the royal magicians to take action.
Whether the magician got rid of the Rakshasa or the Rakshasa defeated the magician, the final result was in Howard's favor.
"Using the hands of both of them to get rid of my enemies, I am really smart!" He thought proudly in his heart.
Howard's plan went well. When Earl Lane and His Majesty Kiel learned that the king's army that went to arrest Zhang Ze was easily repelled, they were shocked and angry.
In addition, Howard fanned the flames and described Zhang Ze as the kingdom's number one enemy, more harmful than the players, which immediately aroused deep concern and fear in His Majesty Kiir.
"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer and ask the Royal Magician to take action!" Howard pleaded: "No one can deal with Rakshasa except them now."
Earl Lane also echoed: "That's right, Your Majesty! The existence of the Royal Magician is to protect this country. If we don't let them come out to help now, are you going to wait until the Rakshasa becomes stronger and counterattack the capital?"
"Okay!" His Majesty Kil was persuaded by the two people, nodded, and said: "Howard, Earl Lane, take my autographed letter to Marcus, the president of the Magician Association, and ask him to lead a group immediately. Form a team of magicians, cooperate with Marshal Eddie, and lead 30,000 soldiers to destroy Rakshasa!"
"Yes!" Howard and Earl Lane responded at the same time.
…
Zhang Ze used the method of removing amethysts to deal with players, and the effect was quite good, so he wanted to expand the results and transport all the amethysts to dangerous places so that players would never be able to log in to the game.
The idea is good, but the territory of the Kingdom of Eltra is very vast, and it is visually larger than the Kingdom of Daxia.
Looking for an amethyst in such a large area is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Even if Zhang Ze uses the Iron Titan to search all over the world, the efficiency will be pitifully low.
A few days passed before the Iron Titan found an amethyst. The remaining ones that were not found were not yet known how many there were, let alone their specific locations.
"There is a long way to go..." Zhang Ze shook his head and sighed: "I have no choice but to look for them one by one. Although it will take a little longer, it is better than being helpless."
At this moment, the Iron Titan suddenly sent an alarm to him: "Master, I detected a large team approaching here ten kilometers away."
"Oh?" Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.
