Shen Fu walked up to Yang Zhijun. After Emilia treated him, he could barely sit up.
"There's trouble now."
Shen Fu looked a little heavy. Although he successfully defeated Elsa, their plan might collapse completely.
Yang Zhijun obviously thought of this and frowned.
"Let's take a look at the situation first. There is no point in worrying at this time. What's more, we are not without gains."
Indeed, the reason why they decided to handle this operation by themselves instead of asking for help from the Sword Master Reinhardt like in the original work was precisely because they wanted to obtain first-hand information on modern weapons against strong men from another world, but they did not expect it. What's interesting is that the strength displayed by all plot characters, including Emilia and Parker, is far higher than in the anime.
"Tap tap tap"
At this moment, the sound of an earth dragon treading on the ground came. Shen Fu and Yang Zhijun looked at each other and thought, here we come.
The people who came were none other than the Knights of the Royal City Guards. The leaders were still Reinhardt and Yulius. The difference from before was that there was a dragon chariot following behind. It was unknown who was sitting in it.
"Your Highness Emilia?"
Yulius looked around the situation and spotted Emilia who was talking to Felt. He quickly jumped off the dragon carriage and walked up to perform a knight's salute.
"Yulius has met His Highness Emilia. I wonder why Your Highness appears here?"
It's really not good. Did you just ignore me?
Shen Fu narrowed his eyes slightly. Although Yulius has a tough personality, he has never made any mistakes in etiquette. If you put it this way, does this mean that this country's attitude towards us has changed?
"Your Highness Shen Fu"
Reinhardt also jumped down. The sword master was still graceful.
"I wonder if you could tell me what happened here?"
"Harut, Emilia and I were attacked here. Out of self-protection, I returned home and called for military protection."
Shen Fu explained the situation concisely and clearly. He and Reinhardt had a good personal relationship in the past few days.
"Attack? I wonder where the attacker is now?"
"Right over there—"
"ah--"
Just when Shen Fu pointed to Elsa's position, several screams suddenly came from there, several soldiers fell to the ground, and a blood-red figure rushed into the alley next to it and disappeared.
Shen Fu was stunned, hey hey! This is too foul, isn't it? Can you still run after this?
Yulius reacted immediately and took the lead in chasing after him, and several knights followed suit on earth dragons.
"Who is that?"
Of course Reinhardt could see the figure clearly with his eyesight, but Elsa was completely unrecognizable at this time, and he couldn't recognize it.
"That's the attacker. She claims to be Elsa the Sausage Hunter."
Shen Fu's throat was a little dry. If Elsa really escaped, he might not even be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
"Guthunter Elsa Grancielt, isn't she the assassin of Gustico in the North Kingdom? How could she appear here?"
The sound came from the dragon chariot following the knight. A man dressed as a civil servant got out of the chariot. The iconic hunchback and dark circles under his eyes were exactly the same hunchback man who had appeared at the banquet in the royal city.
At this time, the hunchbacked man was stroking his chin and beard with one hand, and holding his other hand behind his back, he walked over slowly:
"Your Highness Shen Fu, even if I am attacked in Grunica, I should let the knights of the kingdom protect me. These... these..."
The hunchbacked man pointed haughtily at the surrounding tanks with his fingers. He couldn't think of any words to describe it, and finally said:
"These iron bumps, no matter what they are, wouldn't it be good to appear here?"
"The situation was urgent at the time, and it was indeed my fault that I did not think of seeking protection from the Knights."
Shen Fu had already recognized this civil servant. This was a character who openly insulted Emilia and Felt, who were candidates for the kingdom, in the anime. The Sage Association actually asked him to handle this matter.
Sure enough, the hunchbacked man's expression changed, he flicked his sleeves, stretched out his finger and pointed at Shen Fu's nose:
"Hmph, what's the emergency? I think you have conspired with that half-demon to destroy my royal capital and harm my people. Look at the houses around you. You, the Chinese nation, must pay compensation for this!"
Being pointed at by someone like this made even Shen Fu furious.
"I was attacked in your King Grukani capital. I didn't blame you for your unstable security and poor protection. You actually want us to compensate?"
Since the other party has made it clear that you are welcome, there is nothing to take into account here.
"It's a joke. Let's not talk about whether we were really attacked. Even if it is true, so what. No matter what, it is a fact that you have hurt our people. Could it be that you, the Chinese nation, are just a bunch of people who kill, burn, and loot... ..”
"When did you treat us as citizens of the kingdom?"
The person who interrupted the other party was Felt, who had walked over at some point. Her face was flushed at this time, and she looked like she was about to rush forward, but she was held tightly by Emilia.
"Don't you always regard us as dirt and maggots of the Kingdom? Why do you think that we are the subjects of the Kingdom at this time? You clearly want to blackmail us for compensation. If it weren't for them... I have long..."
Felute said excitedly, and the hunchbacked man's words seemed to hit a certain chord in her heart.
"How rude!"
The hunchbacked man wiped the saliva that was splashed on his face in disgust, and said with a look of disgust: "A pariah like you naturally can't feel the kingdom..."
"——Lord Rickert, please be careful with your words and don't insult my status as a Lugnica official!"
This time the hunchbacked man was interrupted - it was Reinhardt who should have been called Rickert. Apparently his words and actions were inappropriate even for the "Perfect Knight".
Face the Juggernaut, the guardian of the country. Rickert's flushed face suddenly turned pale due to excitement. Reinhardt's name was still a great deterrent to him.
Even though Harut's voice was as calm as usual, he was overwhelmed by the momentum and did not dare to say anything more. He had to reach out and adjust his clothes to hide the fact that he was guilty.
"We will naturally compensate for the losses suffered by the people of your country."
At this time, more than a dozen armored vehicles came from behind, and it was Ji Ming who was sitting in the car who spoke - this was almost everyone left in the Astraea family by Shen Fu and others.
After the armored vehicle stopped, Ji Ming got out of the vehicle and saluted Reinhardt.
"We will compensate enough funds to rebuild this place, but we hope to give this fund to the Astraea family, and believe that Lord Reinhardt will use it correctly."
