Me? A slime? A villain who destroys a nation? Fine!

Kingdom of Kalayari, Guard Unit.

Cimino was looking down in fear, sweat beading on his face.

The reason he was nervous was that he encountered the Knights on the day he came to deliver the message.

The Knights directly took over the role of relaying messages from their captain and personally read the warning sent by Lin Ming.

Simino kept glancing nervously, wondering if the Knights would attack their boss directly. His boss had been good to him, and the other party had only sent him over to warn him not to invade their village again.

Before leaving, he was given so many valuable things, so Simino didn't really want his slime boss to be ruined.

To be honest, Cimino was completely captivated by the other party's reasoned and well-founded words.

Although the thought that something was stuck in his head terrified him, he was confident in his character and therefore unafraid of this betrayal of his contract.

As long as I don't die and can earn money to support my children and wife, that's enough.

"Why are we all working so hard?" That statement is so true. Simino found it hard to believe these words came from a slime. Is this the mindset of an earth fairy?

The person who received the message from the captain was a female knight with long red hair.

She looked at the report quietly, a slight smile playing on her lips, revealing a very interested expression.

"Oh? An earth fairy? I didn't expect it to hold out this long." The female knight seemed quite surprised.

Logically speaking, the Earth Fairies should have been almost completely corrupted by now, but unexpectedly they have formed a force and even sent their soldiers to deliver warnings.

This is an intelligent species.

The female knight quietly took the report in her hand, then gently crushed it into a ball and held it in her beautiful gauntlet.

"Um... Captain," Simino asked worriedly, "Do we need to go back? The Earth Fairy doesn't seem to have any ill intentions; he only deals with malicious attacks and thieves-like beings. I don't think we need to go back."

"Are you speaking up for the Earth Fairy?" The female knight turned around, her azure eyes filled with a hint of teasing as she questioned.

"No, no, no... I'm just a lowly guard, only responsible for relaying messages. I wouldn't dare think that much." Simino quickly shook his head.

Just like that slime said, he's just an employee, so it's best not to say too much.

Anyway, he's already got the money, so he can go back and give his children and wife a better meal. There's no need to do anything extra.

Seeing that Simino seemed to know a lot about this, the female knight pressed on, "What do earth fairies look like? Do you know? I've always wanted to see these legendary creatures."

"Huh?" Simino started sweating. Should he say it or not? The other person's image was that of a little slime, and little slimes are stereotypical. In fact, the other person was very cute, the type his daughter would like. How could he possibly say it like that?

If the knights had known that the opponent was a slime, their desire to attack might not have stopped so easily.

Cimino thought for a moment, then pretended to be clueless and said, "It's...very fierce, and huge. I watched it wipe out the entire guard force in a short time. But it's also very merciful; it won't attack guards who have no will to fight." Cimino continued to add.

"Really? Although I don't like that nobleman either, it would be better if he were just eaten by that earth fairy." The female knight gave a meaningful smile.

"Uh... I'm not aware of your grudge with that nobleman... and I'm not qualified to criticize him." Simino broke out in even more cold sweat. Don't you guys discuss these personal grievances privately? You have to say them openly? The knights are watching...

"It's a pity about Feras. As a candidate for Wind Warrior sent from Prester, his fate remains unknown. This is not a good thing for our kingdom." The female knight sighed.

"You may leave," the female knight said. "By the way, were you the only one who came back alive?"

"No, the rest of the guards have been released." Simino didn't dare to reveal too much about the slime situation, but simply gave a few perfunctory words before leaving the headquarters.

Walking onto the street where passersby and shouts mingled, Cimino finally couldn't wait to take out his small gold bag, which was full of valuable gemstone necklaces.

Although some of it might have been looted from noble carriages, he needed to convert it into money quickly, or it would be too late.

He clasped his hands together in prayer, then quickly slipped into the crowd and disappeared around the street corner.

As soon as Simino left, the female knight summoned the surrounding knightly orders to solemnly discuss matters concerning the Earth Fairy.

A black-haired vice-captain also stood beside the female knight, and the first thing he said was to inquire about Firas's whereabouts.

"Still haven't found Feralas? I think we should send troops to hunt down this monster instead of letting it go unchecked. Besides, with the increased pollution, most monsters aren't actually as strong as they used to be."

"Oh?" The female knight commander smiled in surprise. "You got the news faster than I did. But have you forgotten? Although the monsters have become weaker, they have become more ferocious and irrational."

"A berserk monster, in a way, is a buff. At least when fighting them, their behavior is completely unpredictable, making them even more dangerous. You don't have the right to sacrifice your teammates like that, you know?"

The female knight's words immediately shifted all the blame to the vice-commander, whose face twitched, and he received extremely embarrassing looks from the surrounding knights.

The vice-commander muttered "bitch" under his breath, his eyes and mouth revealing his dissatisfaction with the commander.

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to stand in the position of Grand Master of the Knights." The Vice Grand Master cursed inwardly as always.

Although his eyes were filled with impatience, the commander didn't pay much attention to him and continued the meeting.

At this moment, the knights who supported the vice-commander also offered a heads-up: "The vice-commander's words are not a problem. We've heard that the Earth Fairy has been resisting pollution. The situation of resisting pollution is different from that of the corrupted monster; its own stamina is constantly being depleted. If we kill it while it's in this situation, we can obtain a very rich amount of resources."

After all, no one has entered the Slime Continent for a hundred years, and its resources have remained almost untouched.

"Indeed, this is a very lucrative opportunity for a small kingdom like ours."

"Shut up, all of you!" The female knight slammed her hand on the table and yelled.

"The other party is a fairy, a high-ranking being. Don't you feel ashamed for constantly revealing such filthy thoughts? That place is corrupt towards our border. If it weren't for the earth fairies protecting us there, do you think we would have been peaceful for so long?"

"If the Earth Fairy is gone, the next country to be affected by her infection will be ours! Coupled with the recent frequent demonic attacks, we simply can't hold out. What are we doing, still thinking about greed?"

The female knight's words immediately silenced the knights.

"Don't let this matter reach Her Highness the princess for now. I will verify the truth of the matter myself and then personally convey it to the princesses," the female knight commander decided.

"Now I need to take half of the knights with me over there to see what's going on. It's a visit, not an attack."

"Do as you please, but don't go and not come back." The vice-commander turned his head away irritably.

"You really don't know how to say nice things."

"That's not true. We already have no way of explaining the whereabouts of Young Master Firas and Lord Medasi, so losing you won't make a difference."

"Yes! Captain, think carefully before you act. Are you really just going to make friends during this visit? If something happens to you, we won't be able to explain it to Her Highness the Princess."

"Since Cimino was able to come back safely, why can't I? Anyway, let's leave it at that. Whoever objects can stay, and whoever agrees can come with me. It's up to you."

After saying this, the female knight gracefully walked out of the army camp, leaving behind only a group of silent knights.

"Honestly, there's just no way to deal with the Second Miss. She just likes to do this all the time." The knights sighed in exasperation.

"But there's nothing we can do. She's the king's illegitimate daughter. Even if she's not a princess, she's practically half a princess. And we're the ones who married her. We'll just have to put up with it. Anyway, let's get the people ready."

"There's nothing we can do. Even though the young lady said she was visiting, she should have brought all her enchanted swords. It's just bad luck that we ran into her on patrol."

The knights sighed and lamented, regretting that they hadn't accompanied the young lady here. Otherwise, Simino's letter would have gone directly to the captain, who would then relay it to the princess for further processing.

As a result, the second princess is now handling it on her behalf.

"Oh dear, when will our princess grow up a bit from being so spoiled?" The knights complained, but their tone was as if they were fathers who had watched her grow up.

"Vice Commander, are you really not coming? I feel more reliable with you here."

"Forget it. Do you think I'm that idle? Spending all my time traveling around with that little girl. I've already said, even if something happens to you over there, it's her fault. If you want to go, go with her. I'm not on your side."

The vice-commander gave a cold snort and led his men away.

"Sigh, still as impulsive as ever, Deputy Commander."

"There's nothing we can do. He's never been too happy with our second princess, and he's been under a lot of pressure lately, so it's not easy for him either. But it's good that we didn't have a big fight. Our princess has a pretty good temper, and we acknowledge that as a good quality."

"Well, let's just bring the best mages and attendants. If there are any adventurers or heroes around, we can also hire a few of them who are at least silver-ranked."

The knights began preparing for their departure, each armed with a superior enchanted weapon. Almost the entire squad consisted of level 40 knights, while their follower knights were as high as level 50.

Compared to the Second Princess's guild leader's level 30, this is almost the combat power of a flower-protecting guild.

Lin Ming never expected that his warning would actually bring over a whole group of chivalrous knights.
