Chapter 529 Schemes from All Sides, the Shy Luo King Under Scrutiny
The Royal Palace of the Bahars Empire.

At this moment, the young emperor Gilken Nifrun Farodel Nix, known as the "Blood Emperor," was also discussing the matter of the adamantite-class adventurer Seiya and Momo with his secretary and the empire's strongest "Four Knights."

"The continent has become increasingly turbulent lately, first with the undead legion, and then with the powerful vampires."

Now, two more adventurers of the Abrasive Steel level, Momo in Darkness and Shy King, have appeared.

Powerful monsters and heroes are taking to the stage one after another.

"The pitch-black Momo has annihilated the ogres and goblins heading north, subdued the 'Wise King of the Forest' of the great forest, destroyed the undead army in the western tombs of the kingdom, and is now fighting against the powerful vampires."

The Shy Queen, along with the Steel-ranked adventurer "Azure Rose," passed the Eight Desires King Trial, which even the old man couldn't pass.

The strongest warrior captain who thwarted the theocracy's conspiracy and saved the kingdom indirectly helped our empire.

Whoever that guy is, they're both quite remarkable. What do you guys think?

After glancing at the intelligence reports concerning Seiya and Old Bones in his hand, the Emperor turned to his subordinates and asked them a question.

Compared to the heir to the throne in the kingdom, Emperor Gilkenif of the Empire was undoubtedly a ruler with both talent and charisma.

During his reign over the empire, he not only abolished many useless nobles who only fawned over the empire, but also appointed virtuous and capable officials.

He would appoint anyone who was talented, regardless of their status, personality, or loyalty, based solely on their abilities. Although young, he was a ruler with considerable charisma.

Over the years, under his rule, the power of the Bahars Empire has been increasing day by day. If it weren't for the fact that there was a third prince in the kingdom, the empire's power and population would probably have already surpassed that of the kingdom.

Moreover, as the ruler of the empire, the emperor was also someone who knew how to listen to advice. Although it was an autocratic monarchy, the Blood Emperor was not a dictator.

"Adventurers are always a bunch of guys who like to exaggerate, but even if these two are comparable to the kingdom's warrior captain, Gerdev Storonov."

But if all four of us go together, we should be able to win, right?

The person who said this with such confidence was none other than "Lightning - Bajud" from the Empire's "Four Knights".

Besides him, the remaining members of the Four Horsemen are:

Gale-Nipour
Heavy Bombardment — Rena
Immovable — Nazarmi
Lightning and Immovable are burly men, Gale is a handsome guy, and Heavy Bomb is a sexy older woman. Those who can be selected as the "Four Knights" can all obtain the title of Imperial Earl.

The Four Horsemen are around level 20 to 25, which is close to the level of heroes, but not quite there yet.

"Leaving aside Momo for now, this adventurer called King Xiuluo indirectly helped us before, preventing us from becoming scapegoats for the Theocracy."

It's said that he was hired by the Kingdom's Third Prince to rescue Gazef. Does that mean I could bring him to the Empire's side if the benefits were right?

Gilkenif doesn't care about loyalty or status; he only cares about the other person's ability and strength.

Actually, more than two hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Ri Yesteje and the Bahars Empire belonged to the same great human nation.

However, more than two hundred years after the war between the Demon God and the Thirteen Heroes, this great nation was destroyed and subsequently split into the present-day Kingdom and Empire. Because of this relationship, the Empire and the Kingdom are in a state of constant war, with each conflict erupting during the autumn harvest season.

For many years, the empire has been trying to take down the kingdom, a tough nut to crack. However, while the kingdom's ruling class is incompetent, its army is indeed formidable.

Leaving aside the kingdom's strongest warrior, Captain Gerdev Storonov, the genius third prince, renowned throughout the surrounding countries, is also a formidable opponent.

When Gilkenif targeted the kingdom, he never considered the reigning King Rambossa III as a threat, but instead always regarded the king's third prince as his hypothetical enemy.

"I will secretly infiltrate the kingdom and attempt to make contact with the 'Shy Queen'."

Meanwhile, at the Great Tomb of Nazarick, after obtaining the status of a Steel-class adventurer, Ainz Ooal Gown also held a meeting.

The main topic of the meeting was to annihilate the kingdom's underground criminal organization, "Eight Fingers," and how to enhance the adventurer Momo's reputation while eliminating them, and also to secure certain benefits for Nazarick.

"Eight Fingers" is a criminal organization comprised of eight departments that are rampant in the underworld of the Kingdom of Ri Yesteje.

The so-called "eight fingers" refer to eight underground criminal groups: drug trafficking, slave trading, security, assassination, theft, finance, gambling, and smuggling.

The main reason Ainz Ooal Gown would fight "Eight Fingers" was because Sebastian saved a slave.

And this slave happened to be the sister of Nia, whom he had encountered before in the "Black Sword".

In order to repay the kindness of Nia for telling him a lot of information, Ainz Ooal Gown decided to avenge his sister, Kiarei.

So after learning that Ainz was going to destroy "Eight Fingers", Xiao Di suggested that Ainz stage a scene where the Demon Emperor attacks the capital and a hero saves everything.

This would not only destroy the "Eight Fingers" who had angered the Great Sovereign, but also increase the adventurer Momo's reputation. Finally, taking advantage of the chaos in the capital, a large number of humans could be brought back to Nazarick to serve as consumable resources.

Upon hearing Xiao Di's plan to kill three birds with one stone, Lao Gu was originally prepared to accept it gladly. However, when he thought of the fact that there was still a Shy Luo King in the kingdom, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Di and speak.

"Demiurge, your plan is quite good, but have you forgotten that the kingdom now has other adamantite-level adventurers?"

With the capital in turmoil, it is indeed very likely that the kingdom's nobles will hire adventurers to help them.

"The 'Blue Rose' mentioned in Sebastian's intelligence is one thing, but have you forgotten about the 'Shy Queen'?"

He already had a general understanding of the information about "Blue Rose" from the intelligence gathered by Sebastian and Solinson.

Just as he had predicted, not all steel-level adventurers possess the strength to rival level 100 guardians.

Those few people, including "Shy Luo Wang," are completely exceptions.

Demiurge's plan was good, but what if the person who came out to defeat Demiurge, who was playing the role of the Demon Emperor, was changed from the adventurer Momo to the Shy Queen when the capital was in crisis? Wouldn't they be letting someone else reap the benefits?

Even if he were to fight Demiurge, it would be a complete charade.

But if Shaluo King gets involved, Ainz is really worried that Demiurge will actually be killed by Seiya!
