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

From the biography that Karko read, starting from her previous progress, it was indeed as her father had said, that the first Holy King Yurek devoted almost all his attention to the research on magic power and magical aura.

According to this holy king, he may have discovered an unexpected path, which, if popularized, could even change the current world landscape.

Because the control of magic power and the utilization of magic energy are very delicate operations, even if he studies it further and reduces the difficulty, it is still a difficult skill.

But precisely because of the existence of the threshold, this technique is more suitable for humans.

Because most alien species are not proficient in technical combat skills, they often rely on their physical fitness and talent to crush the enemy in combat.

Skills have become the secret weapon for human success.

According to Karko's understanding, the racial level squeezes out a part of the occupational level, so the skills and moves are not as multifaceted as those of humans.

If this technique can be popularized, the disadvantaged position of human beings may be improved.

As for the more powerful elves and dwarves, Yurek believed that the racial reproduction capacity and population size would limit their development.

For a moment, the various prospects described in the book even made Carl look forward to it. No wonder people came to advise him one by one.

Just as Karl excitedly turned to the next page, looking forward to the experimental results of the first Holy King, the first sentence instantly made the girl realize that this book was about to come to its final ending.

【Something happened.】

Chapter 35 Thirteen Heroes

[The Dwarf Kingdom living in the eastern Abelion Hills was suddenly attacked by subhumans. ]

[This attack came very suddenly, and most of the attackers were quadrupeds with beast bodies and orcs (centaurs with beast-like lower bodies).]

【Why did they suddenly attack the Dwarf Kingdom? 】

[There's news. Those demihumans were forced to flee for their lives and ran into the Dwarf Kingdom! ]

[A new demon god has come here from the south at some point in time.]

[It is now wreaking havoc everywhere, and the Dwarf Kingdom is now in imminent danger. 】

[Should we go to rescue them? ]

[The demons... are not so easy to deal with. Besides, the subhumans are running around in the Abelion Hills now. The border itself is under great pressure. The Great Wall is still under construction. Although the two countries have an alliance, it is too late to spare manpower for rescue...]

[This is obviously a bit irrational, and I am the king, so I have to consider the Holy Kingdom as well.]

【but.....】

[Back then, the dwarves were able to ignore the danger and abide by the covenant to aid the Holy Kingdom. Now that it's my turn, am I afraid to go because of various concerns? ]

[The dwarves probably had the same concerns at the time, right? ]

But they came anyway.

[How can I betray this trust? ]

【Let me go over there! 】

[Since there is no way to spare a large number of manpower, I will personally lead a light cavalry unit of several thousand people. ]

[Although Abelion Hills is a hill, the terrain is relatively flat and suitable for cavalry activities. ]

[Besides, I’m already over 50, right? ]

[Little Lar has been doing a good job, so let him handle the affairs of the Holy Kingdom.]

When Karl finished reading this sentence and turned the page again, there was nothing behind it.

A yellowed cover at the end marks the end of this autobiography.

No one added anything to this, and the first Holy King just disappeared without a trace.

"The Kingdom of Dwarves..."

Karl gently stroked the book with one hand, as if thinking about something, and finally got up and left the bed.

Her bedroom is not like those little girls' boudoirs filled with dolls and cosmetics. On the contrary, there are some bookcases embedded in the wall, which contain various books.

This is also the reason why Karl was called a genius by the servants in the palace.

These books were arranged by Karko according to the contents of the books. When she came to the history and humanities area, her green fingers skillfully ran across the spines of the hardcover books and looked at the names on them.

Finally, her eyes fell on a red book titled "History of the Abelion War".

This is a book that tells the history of the Abelion Hills for nearly three hundred years, and also includes some powerful demi-humans on the hills and their heritage.

After all, some subhumans may live for four to five hundred years. In fact, only the dwarves belonging to the human race can live that long.

Pulling it out, Karko skillfully turned to the chapter on the Dwarf Kingdom.

The Abelion Hills are near the mountains where the eastern wall of the Holy Kingdom is located today. That is, the mountains through which the land route to the kingdom passes. There used to be a kingdom of hill dwarves in that mountain range.

Unlike ordinary dwarves who live inside mountains, hill dwarves prefer to live outside of mountains.

Simply put, the idea is to carve the entire mountain into a semi-open-air castle, rather than hollowing out the inside of the mountain and then building a castle inside.

Because of this, most hill dwarves are better suited to combat than true dwarves, and also have the talents of rangers.

In addition to taming large argali as mounts, they also raise griffins to train aerospace cavalry.

Note that it is a griffin, not a hippogriff or it can also be called a hippogriff. The former is much more ferocious than the latter, and the hippogriff is a species derived from the hybrid of a griffin and a horse.

Taming a griffin is not an easy task, at least humans in the northwestern continent do not have the technology to do so now.

Of course, this is excluding the Silian Theocracy, because even if the air forces of all countries are added together, they may not be able to match the number of third-tier magic casters that the Silian Theocracy can fly.

And the Church's more professional air force is even less known.

The Empire's air force mount is the Hippogriff, while the Holy Kingdom's air force mount is a large water bird, the broad-billed white goose.

But Karko himself prefers to call it a pelican, and an extra-large pelican at that.

It is more than two meters long, and its wingspan reaches about five meters. It possesses certain magical abilities and can control strong winds.

This type of pelican is extremely docile and easy to feed because they often go out to sea to hunt. Their only drawback is that they are not as good as the Hippogriff and the Griffin in close combat in the air.

Only in terms of speed and agility can it be compared with the griffin, far surpassing the level of the hippogriff.

Therefore, the Dwarf's Griffin Air Force is almost at the T1 level of combat power of the surrounding countries.

Although there is a dragon tribe in the southern mountains of the empire that can tame dragons as mounts, its strength should be stronger than the dwarf's griffin air force.

But according to the book, the number of dwarf griffin cavalry is maintained at around one thousand all year round, and the dragon tribe probably cannot gather so many flying dragons.

In addition, the dwarves also have 7,000 argali cavalry, 13,000 heavy infantry, and 5,000 magic casters, including more than 400 of the third rank and three of the fourth rank.

The population of the entire country is nearly one million.

Although for humans, this may be no more than the total population of a few large cities, it is already a lot for dwarves, a race with low reproductive capacity and long lifespan.

A country of this level is worthy of being called a powerful country.

However, the Dwarf Kingdom was eventually destroyed, and that was even with the support of a light cavalry of several thousand men from the First Holy King.

There were at least 10,000 cavalrymen, were they just gone like that?

Karl flipped through the book quickly and came to the last page of the Dwarf Kingdom.

[Holy Kingdom Calendar Year 28]

[A demon suddenly attacked the southern desert, which could summon a large number of locusts to bring plague and death to the entire land.]

[A large number of demi-humans died in large numbers, and the Dwarf Kingdom was affected, fighting with the demi-humans who were fleeing.]

[At first, there was no problem, until the demon came and summoned a large number of insects, destroying many dwarf cities along the way, and finally forced to perish. ]

The 28th year of the Holy Kingdom calendar, that is, 188 years ago?

Karko's heart sank. This demon god could summon swarms of locusts and bring plague and death. What was the difference between this kind of character attacking the weak and mowing the grass?

Moreover, even a strong person would not have any good way to deal with the swarm of insects that covers the sky and the earth.

No wonder the first Holy King never came back.

So how did it die in the end?

If the enemy were to attack the Holy Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom would not be able to survive.

Carl continued to read on.

[The demon god advanced all the way north, and after investigation, he was destroyed after encountering thirteen heroes]

[The disaster has subsided, and the Abelion Hills are completely covered by demihumans.]

The demon who summoned the swarm of insects was destroyed by thirteen heroes?

Oh, this is really...

Karko curled her lips helplessly. She probably knew who had dealt with the demon.

Chapter 36: So fast?

Inside the palace, the training ground originally used for the training of the Royal Guards welcomed a group of new guests today.

Several priests in white robes were rushing over here with a group of royal princes and princesses.

Today is Friday, and the entire morning will be spent on magical training.

Even different from the situation inside the room last time, the priest in charge of teaching this time will also teach the princes some simpler offensive magic.

For example, [Tracer Missile].

It can summon a glowing ball of light and then throw it out. It not only does good damage, but can also blind the opponent. It is an extremely excellent magic.

Except that it is not very suitable for sneak attacks.

However, the priests and teachers present did not dare to teach this kind of magic.

For a moment, the entire training ground was filled with the excited voices of boys and girls.

They had never had the chance to practice this kind of attack spell in the past, but now that they had the chance they naturally wanted to give it a try. Even Damian, who had always been at the bottom of the class, was making rapid progress in practice.

Damian listened to the priest teacher's instructions seriously, and then worked hard to construct magic.

I don’t know if it’s because I encountered something that I was interested in, but my learning efficiency was improved. After a while, a dazzling ball of light appeared in Damian’s hand.

As the young man threw it suddenly, the ball of light bloomed in the air in an instant, like a bright golden flower.

The time taken for the entire process was still among the dozen or so people present.

This performance immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Other brothers and sisters, teachers, and tutors all looked at Damian with admiration, and for a moment the boy seemed to have won first place.

But this is not possible.

As another [tracer missile] was thrown into the air, larger and more brilliant golden fireworks bloomed from mid-air, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

Follow the parabola to look towards the source of this [tracer missile].

A blonde girl was wearing a neat white shirt and trousers, looking seriously at the light bullet exploding in the air.

The golden glow shone on the girl's slightly chubby face, silently adding a touch of holiness and coldness to the whole day.

Then the girl stretched out her right hand as if dissatisfied, and a blue magic circle unfolded in the palm of her hand. Visible golden arcs of light revolved around the center of the magic circle.

From the size of a grain of rice to the size of a fist.

In less than a second, another [Tracer Missile] was formed and thrown out by the girl again.

The light exploded!

During the whole process, the girl seemed to be oblivious to everyone's gazes and immersed herself completely in magic.

Karko, who is only six years old, is the real number one!

Sanita and Corean curled their lips, and for a moment they even felt a little jealous of their sister.

After only learning magic for a few days, his progress has almost caught up with theirs in several years. Now it seems that it won't be long before he can surpass them.

Thinking back to the other party's identity as a person favored by the God of Wind, the two of them were simply yearning for it at this moment.

Why aren't they favored by God?

Turning their grief and anger into motivation, the brother and sister Sanita and Corean once again devoted themselves to the training of magic.

It’s a pity that no matter how hard they try, the [Tracer Missile] can never emit a light as dazzling as Karko’s.
