Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

Valgan stopped at the city gate and threw the body of the great king in his hand to the dwarves who came later.

The old dwarf watched his old comrades riding goats into the city in an orderly manner, while he stood at the city gate as if guarding or counting.

After everyone returned to the pioneer city, Vargan did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he looked into the distance at another orc coalition not far away.

For a moment, Vargan's eyes were calm, as if he was evaluating something through the team in front of him.

Then the old dwarf turned his gaze in the direction where the goat men and centaurs were fleeing not far away.

These demi-humans did not run towards the new group of demi-humans. Instead, they even tried to stay away from the presence of these demi-humans as much as possible.

As for why...

It's very simple. The four-legged beasts like to eat the meat of cattle and horses, but there are very few races in the Abelion Hills that know animal husbandry skills, otherwise they wouldn't think of robbing humans every day.

But since humans don't have it, the beasts with four legs don't mind using centaurs as a substitute.

Even to them, centaurs are superior to humans.

A horse's head and horse's legs, aren't they just ordinary horses?

What's more, it's fresh. If there is fresh beef and horse meat, even quadrupeds will be too lazy to look for humans.

Only goat people are demihumans who particularly like humans.

Vargan glanced at the fleeing centaurs and goat men, but this time, these beast-like quadrupeds did not send anyone to capture the sub-humans. Instead, they kept their troops where they were, and even looked at this side vigilantly.

Then the old dwarf sensed a gaze coming from the sky a thousand meters away.

Valgan narrowed his eyes and looked in that direction, and saw only blue sky and white clouds, as if there was nothing there.

But he had already guessed what it was, but didn't care.

This kind of detection magic has a distance limit. Seeing that the opponent did not move at all, Valgan did not waste time here and directly drove the argali back to the pioneer city.

The tall city gate closed quickly, and with the return of Vargan, cheers instantly broke out in the city.

In any case, the scene of dozens of dwarves in full armor charging at the demi-human coalition forces just now was deeply imprinted in the minds of almost everyone in the pioneer city.

Now they have all returned, even though they are injured. But the fact that they were able to come back from thousands of sub-human soldiers has made them almost like gods in the hearts of everyone present.

Not to mention that these dwarves usually help the people in the pioneer city to resist the sub-humans. Everyone's admiration and cheers for them reached their highest point at this moment.

Some people have even started shouting that this is the favor of the God of Wind.

The dwarfs in front of them were the messengers sent by the God of Wind to rescue them in times of distress. Otherwise, how could we explain why these people obeyed His Highness Karko so much?

Because Your Highness is favored by the God of Wind!

For a time, this rumor spread more and more widely.

But the dwarves didn't seem to care about the cheers, and their statue-like faces never seemed to show any expression.

After putting down the body of King Hao and the shield that had been smashed into a dent, they got off the argali. Vargan, who was the last one to come in, walked to the front of the dwarves and came to Karko.

Upon seeing this, the girl immediately shifted her gaze away from King Hao's corpse and looked towards the dwarf with amazement in her eyes.

After all, one of the top ten demi-humans just died like that.

Although the opponent had spent a lot of energy in order to capture the pioneer city and was even hit by the [Chain Dragon Thunder], it was still a bit too exaggerated to be killed by a hammer from the old dwarf in front of him.

Even Karko couldn't help shaking his head when he looked at the metal magic shield that was dented and as thick as two fingers.

The power is really too fierce.

"Excuse me, Mr. Valgan."

"If it weren't for you, King Hao wouldn't have been killed so easily. Regarding the previous reward, if you need anything, just tell me."

Karl touched his chest lightly and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Vargan nodded again in return, and then retorted in a very modest and old-fashioned way.

"No, in fact, without me, as long as the powerful magic caster next to you casts magic once more, this guy will not be able to hold on."

“We were just putting in some finishing touches at the end.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Valgan looked at Karko, and after a little hesitation, he started talking about the reward.

"As for the reward...we need food, seeds, and gold."

"Also, I hope that every time we make a move, we can exchange these things for the heads of subhumans."

Karl was stunned when he heard what Vargan said.

It’s not that the requirement is too high, on the contrary it’s too little.

Even gold is behind food and seeds, what does this mean?

"No problem. I will hire you as the Lord of Pioneer City to become a member of Pioneer City. Your treatment will be the same as my personal priest group. There will also be different bounties for killing different demihumans."

"As for this time, I am willing to pay 300,000 Saint Kingdom gold coins for your help. Of course, if you want to exchange it for food, seeds, or other things."

"Then I can supply you at 30% lower than the market price. Is that okay?"

"no problem!"

Valgan nodded excitedly and blurted out the answer.

"Can we first exchange 60% of the reward for meat such as cattle and sheep?"

"Sixty percent replaced with meat?"

Karl continued to ask as if he was a little uncertain.

"Yes, all replaced with meat!"

Valgan said this in a decisive tone, and a rare trace of anxiety appeared on the face of this old dwarf whose expression remained unchanged.

The other party's resolute attitude made Karl confused for a moment.

But there is no point in being curious about this. Just give them whatever they want. It’s just meat, it’s such a simple thing.

If you don’t feed them enough, how can they work for you?

"Okay, how about this, seeing that you are in a hurry, can I bring some over first and give them to you tonight?"

"Thank you so much."

Vargan was particularly excited at this moment.

In the mountains and forests not far away, a group of giant beasts that were more than two meters tall just crawling on the ground opened their sharp eagle beaks and smacked their lips a few times as if they had a beautiful dream.

Chapter 137: What exactly happened back then?

As night fell, Kalko and Fluder accidentally discovered some situations when experimenting with teleportation magic, such as what would happen if they chose to force teleport when there were more than eight people to be teleported.

In this situation, Kalko and Fluder naturally chose to protect themselves first, rather than the lives being teleported.

It was a painless death on the spot. Of course, there would be occasional missing limbs, but it was not a big deal.

After all, they are just a group of cattle and horses, and they will eventually be eaten by humans.

Compared to the losses incurred by the cattle and horses during the transmission, what really concerned Karko and Fluder was that through this transmission, they felt that they had discovered the weight of their souls.

Well, they can only bring eight living people including themselves.

But for personal property, Karl and the others only need to play with stacking Legos, and as long as they are within a certain range, they can teleport ten cows and horses.

This goes back and forth.

The two of them only made three trips back and forth and got sixty cattle and horses for Valgan and his men. Although some of them were occasionally lost due to transmission overload, at least it was not a large number compared to the overall number, and the dwarves could completely accept it.

They even said that the cost of transmission would be directly deducted from their bounty.

Karko wanted to refuse at one point, but was rejected by the old dwarf Vargan.

The old dwarf's creed is very old-fashioned: you get paid according to the work you do.

Since Karl is willing to condescend to use teleportation magic to help them do these things, then the dwarves must show some appreciation!

The dwarves never treat their benefactors unfairly!

Therefore, even if Karl tried his best to persuade the old dwarf to come back, he could not do anything, so he could only accept the other party's proposal.

As for the other dwarves, they had no objection to this.

Are you kidding? Asking two legendary wizards to use teleportation magic to send you some meat is a treatment that you didn't get even when the Hill Dwarf Kingdom in the Abelion Hills and Plains was still there.

What’s more, after the country is destroyed?

If the current situation was not special, how could they have enjoyed such treatment?

What's more, none of them had any reason to disobey Valgan's orders given their identities.

Even the descendants of Rohad, who were far away in the mountains and managed the current hill dwarf city, had no reason to resist, let alone change his orders.

Decisions made by dwarves are difficult to change.

Otherwise, this person, or even them, would not be here.

For a moment, the looks of the dwarves present when they looked at Karko changed a lot.

It’s not that they have become much friendlier, because Karl feels that these dwarves themselves seem to have an inexplicable liking for him for some reason.

Although Kalko himself had some guesses, for example, it was probably the first Holy King Urek Besares who fulfilled the covenant with the dwarves, which made these dwarves have a basic good impression of the Holy Kingdom.

These things were then grafted onto Karko.

But if it were just this, it wouldn't make sense. Why do all the good things happen to her?

Why didn't these dwarves come into contact with the Holy Kingdom before?

These are actually doubtful points.

But Karl couldn't guess it, but that didn't stop the dwarves from respecting her.

Basically, after seeing her, these dwarves would subconsciously put their hands on their chests, as if they were doing some kind of military salute.

So after they discovered that Karl could perform teleportation magic, it wasn't so much that they became more friendly, but rather that they became more familiar with each other.

It's like a friend discovering some little detail about another friend and being horrified.

For example, some people live in the same dormitory with you for four years, and only after graduation do they find out that you are actually a rich second-generation.

Carl looked at the people riding on argali not far away, carrying several large carts of raw meat, also pulled by argali, and slowly running towards a forest in the north.

Because they defeated the coalition forces brought by King Hao, the four-legged beast chose to leave after staying there for a while.

But no one could guarantee whether the other party would launch a counterattack, so Karl suggested asking some soldiers to help escort the raw meat, but was rejected by the dwarves.

He also said frankly that if they encountered a problem that even they could not solve, then it would be useless even if they sent more human soldiers.

On the contrary, no matter what situation they encountered, even if the nearly 10,000-strong coalition army composed mainly of quadrupedal beasts attacked again this morning, they had a way to escape successfully.

The reason is simple: some people can't fly.

Although the demons can go up to the sky, being able to fly is different from engaging in aerial combat.

This is also the reason why these dwarves are confident.

In fact, the reason they dared to come to Pioneer City was to help humans save the city. Even if faced with an attack by tens of thousands of demi-humans, as long as they were not all demi-humans like goatmen, Pioneer City would not necessarily fall.

Karko didn't know this before, but when she was helping the dwarves purchase meat, Fluder told her this guess.

Even Fluder was looking into the distance along the route the dwarves had taken, his eyes full of longing.

"Karko, you know, when I was young, I really wanted to own a griffin."

"Because the griffin is a symbol of warriors, and it is said that they only favor heroes."

"Most importantly... an adult griffin is said to be able to rival even a dragon. The griffin is also known as the son of the storm and the king of the sky."

"They are born with the ability to master storm magic. For a magic caster of the power type, a griffin is simply the best partner."

"But unfortunately... I was already very old when I heard about the griffins. I was so old that I didn't even have any interest in my old dream. I only thought about it occasionally later. I bought a few Hippogriffs from the empire and raised them. Later, they were discovered by the emperor at that time and he formed an air knight group."

"But that knight group is much worse than them."

Fluder said this with a feeling, and Karko couldn't help but blink his eyes after hearing it.

"Then teacher, do you need me to help you find a griffin?"

"No, I said no."
