Chapter 550 The Blue Rose on the Way to Nazarick
Three of the "Four Horsemen" are humanity's strongest magic casters, plus two teams of ten adamantite-class adventurers.

Honestly, with this lineup, they could practically challenge a demon god.

Gilkenif put on such a grand show partly for his own safety.

On the one hand, he also wanted to make the owner of that ruin understand that although he was in the wrong first, he was still the emperor of the empire.

If they wanted to, they could easily field a force capable of rivaling a demon god.

"I never expected that His Majesty would hire two steel-class teams, 'Silverbird' and 'Blue Rose,' for this meeting."

His Majesty probably wanted to give the owner of that ruin a warning, right?
After all, the other side sent envoys directly into the palace and, in front of His Majesty, killed so many imperial knights.

Lightning Baljud, who knew Gilkenif very well and was also the most loyal of the Four Horsemen, sat in the carriage and looked at the Blood Emperor opposite him, and spoke.

"Well, that's certainly a thought in mind, but it's also a fact that the enemy's strength shouldn't be underestimated."

"Dragon Hunter," "Four Strategists," "Heavenly Martial," and "Heavy Crusher"—these are the empire's top workers. Among them, many are already as powerful as you, aren't they?

Even that "Tianwu," it's said, possesses strength comparable to a kingdom's warrior captain, right?

Since the owner of that ruin possesses the ability to sever all their contact, it means that the other party is an opponent worthy of our serious consideration.

"But Your Majesty, it's one thing to hire the 'Silverbird,' but is it really alright to hire the 'Blue Rose'?"

This meeting should be considered a matter of state for the empire, right? Although adventurers generally don't interfere in conflicts between kingdoms.

But isn't the leader of the "Blue Rose" not just a nobleman of the kingdom, but also the prince's fiancée?

When asked about his situation by Nipple, one of the Four Horsemen, Gilknefer displayed an expression of complete confidence.

"Indeed, if given a choice, the kingdom's other two adamantite-grade adventurers, 'Dark' and 'Shy Queen,' would be better candidates for hiring."

Leaving aside "Pitch Black" who refused my offer last time, I've always wanted to meet "Shy Lolita King".

However, due to special circumstances, neither of these two Steel-rank adventurers can currently accompany us to meet the master of this ruin.

"And after thinking about it carefully, I realized that taking the 'Blue Rose' to that ruin might not be a bad thing."

Do you think that the beings living in tombs and ruins are human?

"Considering the dragon and dark elves who came to demand answers before, do you really think the master of the ruins could be human?"

Faced with Gilkenif's question, the Secretary General standing to the side immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

"I understand. The location of that ruin is at the border between the kingdom and the empire."

"And if the master of that ruin is truly a powerful non-human race, then it's not just our Bahars Empire that's worried and troubled by this."

After the Secretary General's words, the assembled imperial figures suddenly understood, and their gazes towards Gilkenif were filled with admiration. Truly, he was worthy of their Emperor; even in the face of such an unfavorable situation, he didn't forget to drag their formidable rival kingdom into the fray.

That's right, it's the principle of "how can one allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed?"

The empire will feel uneasy about the power of the powerful ruins, and so will the kingdoms that border them.

This time, they hired "Blue Rose," who not only provided them with a safe escort but also served as their empire's best mouthpiece.

Seeing is believing. If it is only one side of the story from the people of their empire, the new king of the kingdom may not believe it, after all, the hostile relationship between the two countries is almost a given.

However, if a steel-ranked adventurer from the kingdom were to witness what was happening here and then report it to the kingdom, the situation would be different.

Moreover, Lahous of "Blue Rose" is no ordinary adventurer; her fiancé is the third prince of the kingdom.

In other words, Lajus also holds a certain status and position in the kingdom, and the information she conveys is more persuasive than that of others.

At first, the group heading to the Great Tomb of Nazarick were quite relaxed, believing that with their lineup, this mission should be risk-free.

But when the Imperial party arrived at the gates of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and saw Yuri and Lupus Lecina, along with an entire party of Death Knights, who had come to greet them, everyone in the Empire and the adventurers were stunned.

Especially during their meeting, Yuri used the bad weather as an excuse to show off her seventh-rank magic – Weather Control.

Seventh-rank magic is an insurmountable barrier for humans, even for Fluda, who is hailed as the strongest magic caster among humans.

The maid who came to greet them now easily used a class-specific magic that humans could never use.

Doesn't this mean that any random maid from this ruin possesses strength surpassing even the strongest magic caster among humans?

"Although we don't know their specific race, the only thing we're sure of is that they are not human."

Evilue, being a vampire, recognized Yuri and Lupus Rechina at a glance. Although they looked no different from normal humans, their blood aura indicated that they were not human as they had imagined.

"Your Majesty, even if all four of us, the Four Horsemen, attacked together, we probably couldn't defeat even one of these massive creatures..."

Upon seeing the hordes of Death Knights appearing, "Lightning" and his companions, who had previously been brimming with confidence, instantly lost their composure.

Looking at the panicked crowd around him, Gilkenif couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Looks like we've been given a taste of their own medicine first."

With the "Four Horsemen," the strongest human magic caster, and two teams of adamantite-class adventurers, Gilkenif was initially quite confident in their combat strength for this mission.

But before they've even seen the main character, the fact that the other side has only shown the tip of the iceberg has already completely demoralized their side.

The undead, who are comparable to the strongest in the realm of human heroes, are only able to serve as cannon fodder here?
What's even more ironic is that the "Four Knights," the imperial elites he spared no effort in promoting, probably couldn't even defeat a single enemy soldier when they were all combined!
"Death Knights... the Supreme One you speak of, could it be Ainz Ooal Gown?"

Upon hearing Lajus's name, Yuri and the others who were there to greet them, as well as Gilkenif who came to apologize, all showed expressions of surprise.
