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

As he spoke, the Chief of Affairs turned to look at the Commander-in-Chief.

"Commander-in-chief, can I ask if the soldier under your command who served as a guide for Her Royal Highness the Princess told you how they returned."

The commander-in-chief, who was a little younger and had red hair and beard and was wearing full black plate armor, was silent for a moment before giving his answer.

"According to Hank, they were discovered by the female frost dragon during their reconnaissance, and they had no choice but to activate the item with the [Teleport] magic to run back."

The Director General nodded after hearing this, and then glanced at everyone.

"I'm sure you all know about the princess's abilities. She has mastered fourth-tier magic at such a young age. Even if we search all the people in our Dwarf Country, we won't be able to find a strong person of this level."

"Not to mention the companions around Her Royal Highness the Princess. I'm afraid our Dwarven Country may not be able to put together such a strong team. But when facing the frost dragon, we can only choose to flee in panic."

"So everyone, what can we do?"

"The capital has been occupied by that frost dragon anyway, and the western city has become a ruin. We might as well just let them take over."

Upon hearing this, the commander-in-chief shook his head helplessly, and so did the chief of the Earth Temple, who was dressed in white.

The two men looked at each other, and then the commander-in-chief spoke slowly.

"Director General, don't you understand what Her Royal Highness the Princess meant?"

"The key is those Quagoa driven by the Frost Dragon! Not the treasure of the Royal Capital's Treasury, nor the current ownership of the Western City!"

"Hasn't the Minister ever thought that those Quagoa, with the support of that frost dragon, might threaten our dwarven nation in the future?"

By the end, the commander-in-chief's tone was already tinged with anger and severity.

"Chief Food Affairs Officer, I think I may need to remind you that we dwarves only have more than 500 soldiers right now, while the Quagoa have eight tribes, and each tribe has more than 10,000 people."

"What if that frost dragon really gathers all the Quagoa tribes?"

Facing the commander-in-chief's question, everyone present nodded in agreement and turned their eyes to the director general of affairs. Faced with this situation, the director general just sighed helplessly and looked at the commander-in-chief sincerely.

"I know the seriousness of this problem, but I want to ask the commander-in-chief, even so, what can we do?"

"To ruin the frost dragon's plans, anger her, and let her follow the direction of our army to find the dwarven kingdom?"

"Or are you planning to exterminate the Quagoa as per the rules, Commander-in-Chief?"

"As you said, they have at least 80,000 people, while our Dwarf Country only has over 200,000 people, and there are only over 500 soldiers."

"Commander-in-Chief, what do you think we should do?"

This time, the Director General's question made everyone present involuntarily withdraw their gaze and lower their heads to think.

It is really embarrassing to have such a group of troublemakers next to your home!

The Chief Secretary looked around and finally spoke slowly.

"I have a proposal here that I didn't really want to say at first."

"But since the commander-in-chief asked me that, I had no choice but to tell him."

"I think we may have to find a new place to build a new dwarven city, an area that is unknown and outside the range of Quagoa activities."

"I think everyone knows that although the Quagoa seem to be numerous, with a total of 80,000 people, they are actually insignificant compared to the entire Angelicia Mountains."

"Before that, we need to be as prepared as possible, even..."

"Post a reward."

"Publish a reward?"

For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but let out a cry and looked at the Director General in surprise.

The Director General also slowly stated his reasons.

"Do you remember the princess and the great wizard Fluder who often came here?"

"Although the princess is still at the fourth level, I heard that she will soon enter the fifth level. Do you think it will be possible for us to ask her to help destroy the two frost dragons if we pay enough money?"

"In this case……"

The General Manager spoke with lingering thoughts, but the forge master beside him spoke for him.

"By then, not only the western cities, but even our dwarven king may be able to recapture them."

The Dwarf Kingdom will once again return to its heyday!

For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.

Not long after, the meeting was disbanded.

After hearing about the situation from Old Hank, Karl couldn't help but smile and didn't know what to say.

45

Chapter 45 Thermite Knife (Sorry, Chapter 3 will probably be moved to tomorrow)

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Old Hank couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw Carl with a helpless smile on his face.

He didn't expect that he would see such an unexpected scene just by bringing this information from the commander-in-chief.

"Nothing. Go back and tell the commander-in-chief that we may not necessarily kill the dragon, but we may go to the Western City again in a while. If he wants to know the situation there, he can send someone to follow him."

Karl gave the order casually, then continued to immerse himself in his own magical research.

After Old Hank left, Kuirat slowly walked over and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I thought you would be very happy to take this on."

She did not forget the thoughtful and greedy look on Karko's face when they were talking about dragons in the basement.

It was as if he had already regarded the giant dragon outside as fish on the chopping board.

She was even thinking about how to persuade Karl to temporarily give up this extremely dangerous and unrealistic idea, but she didn't expect that Karl would refuse when he really got the opportunity.

"I really want to agree, but it's not that simple."

"Kuilat, have you ever thought that these two frost dragons are a little close to each other?"

It takes only six or seven days to travel from the Dwarf King's Capital to the Dwarf Western City, and it may be even closer for the Frost Dragon.

Hearing this, Kuirat immediately realized something and spoke cautiously.

"You mean they might be together?"

Karl nodded immediately.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, except one male and one female.

It is very simple to reverse the process through the results of things.

When Old Hank brought the bounty from the Dwarf Council, Karl realized one thing.

That is, the dwarves do not know yet that their capital is occupied not by a single frost dragon, but by a group of frost dragons.

One word difference makes a world of difference.

The frost dragon who calls himself the White Dragon King has bred many offspring over the past hundred years. Including the other party, there are a total of twenty frost dragons.

This was the reason why she asked Old Hank to warn the Dwarf Kingdom.

If the mother dragon sees the dwarves and accidentally reveals this matter to the white dragon king on her way back, the dwarf kingdom would probably really face a devastating disaster.

Whether it was out of consideration for her own moral character or to ensure an environment for Spa to practice Rune techniques here, she felt it necessary to mention this to the Dwarf Kingdom.

But unexpectedly, the Dwarf Kingdom came up with another solution.

Go ahead and kill the Frost Dragon...

Emmmm.

They really dare to think!

Although the White Dragon King's lineup seems insignificant in the anime, in fact, its strength can even compete with the Theocracy.

Because apart from the sixteen newborn frost dragons, the other four frost dragons including the Corn White Dragon King are probably very old.

If Karl remembered correctly, apart from the female dragon they saw in the western city, the other two female dragons were probably not easy to deal with.

The lowest among dragons is the elderly (Lv.30~Lv.40), and there is even one who has mastered the first-level faith magic. The dragon's inherent spellcasting level is magic, and the level of this dragon can at least be increased by one or two levels.

Even if these frost dragons can have an additional racial level of [Elder] like the White Dragon King, it is possible that their level will be between Lv. 40 and 45.

However, Karl thought that the strength of these two should not be that high, hovering around forty or forty-one at most, because if they were really forty-three, it might not be so easy for the White Dragon King to regain their concubines.

At least these three together are definitely no match for the White Dragon King.

The strength difference of one more person is Lv.1.5.

In other words, the average level of the three female dragons combined is definitely no more than Lv.43.

Of course, the specific algorithm is definitely not that simple, but at least we can estimate a rough strength range.

However, just at this level, apart from Captain Shenren and Juesi Jueming, there are only three people on the side of the Silian Theocracy who are estimated to have reached this level.

In addition, the remaining sixteen frost dragons are most likely at Lv. 20-30. If they really run over to the Silian Theocracy, the Theocracy will not be helpless, but it will probably feel troubled.

Can Karko put together a lineup to deal with the Frost Dragon now?

Can't make it up.

Although Grandpa Fluder's level might be higher due to his mixed professions, in terms of expressiveness, he can only cast sixth-tier mana magic, which is actually equivalent to Lv.42, and can be raised one or two levels at most.

Karl himself is around Lv.26 or Lv.27, so the gap in strength is still quite large.

It can be said that their only advantage is that they have equipment reinforcements, while the Frost Dragon does not.

So some things cannot be rushed for the time being.

Karl continued to study magic leisurely, but Kuirat's brows became more and more furrowed.

"But if that's the case, why did you go there again?"

"Of course it's for the things in the treasure house!"

Carl said casually.

"Last time, we only took away a small amount of rare ore. There is still a lot of fine steel and mountain copper in the treasure house!"

"Take out enough stuff from there to make us, Remedios, a set of armor that's no less impressive than the ones used by the Temple Paladins."

"And the last time I entered the treasury, I saw quite a few books inside. Maybe there are techniques related to Rune technology in them?"

"It would be good to go and have another look."

"But next time we go, we will definitely make sure we are not unprepared."

Karl smiled and looked at Kuirat who was about to get angry.

"At least wait until I break through the fifth level."

After reaching the fifth level, she will be able to learn [Teleportation] and [Resurrection of the Dead].

Only then will their team really have a trump card to fall back on.

Kuirat obviously saw this and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Carl couldn't help but laugh when he saw this relieved look.

"Okay, seeing how worried you look, am I the kind of person who would rush in without knowing the consequences?"

"And even if I break through to the fifth level, I won't take you there if our equipment is not built well."

"But speaking of equipment... How are Gondo and his group of Rune craftsmen doing with what I proposed to them earlier?"

As for the matter of making equipment, Gondo happened to know quite a few Rune craftsmen, so Karko entrusted the forging of the equipment to Gondo.

However, because Gondo mentioned before that their existing furnaces had difficulty smelting high-level ores such as titanium ore, she suggested that they use the metal smelted from the hot ore to forge a smelting table and then strengthen it with runes.

Karko even suggested that they extend this idea and use the metal smelted from the hot ore to add runes to it and then smelt a sword blade or a gun head.

This metal will generate heat when it collides with something with a harder material than mithril. In a sense, isn't it very similar to a thermite knife?

High temperature and sharpness, what will they be afraid of then?

Maybe in the future, when facing the Frost Dragon with negative fire defense, it will be a fatal blow!

This is the way to defeat monsters above your level.
