Hunter starting from Hunter World

In just one night, Marquis Paul Lopp and Earl Lipton were removed from the six major nobles in the kingdom, in a physical sense.

Although they still have many distant relatives who have the right to inherit through generations of marriage, most of their immediate relatives are already dead.

The only one who escaped was the wife of the eldest prince Balubro and the eldest daughter of Marquis Paul Lopp.

In addition, a large number of middle- and lower-class nobles who participated were also hunted and purged mercilessly in the next few days.

The number of deaths among the nobles alone was as high as 350. If the private soldiers under their command were added, the total number of deaths was more than 30,000.

When the news came back to the royal capital, everyone, including the old king, was shocked by the result.

Although they expected that the Hunter Association would take corresponding retaliatory measures after receiving the news, they never expected that the methods would be so bold, crazy, and cruel.

All the nobles who were on the hunting list basically had their whole families, old and young, killed together, completely severing their bloodline.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the kingdom's ruling class, which values ​​family and bloodline inheritance.

Is the Hunter Association crazy? Does that man want to start a war with us? the old king roared, waving his arms angrily.

Directly and wantonly massacring vassals without his own consent and permission has seriously provoked his dignity and bottom line as a king.

Father, please calm down. Most of the guys who died this time were members of the aristocracy. They suffered a heavy blow, which may not be a bad thing for this country. Princess Lana stood up and consoled her.

Your Majesty! The princess is right. With the decline of the aristocratic faction that opposed the royal family, some reforms that we were unable to carry out can finally begin. In addition, I don't think it is a wise choice to fall out with the Hunter Association at this time. Raven The Marquis also stood up and tried to dissuade him.

That's right! Father, now is a good opportunity to take back territory and rights on a large scale and integrate the country. The second prince, Xiao Pangdun, also echoed.

Although the expression on his face was very serious, he was already blooming with joy in his heart. He wished he could rush to the Hunter Association headquarters of E-Rantel immediately, hold the president Allen's face and kiss him hard twice, loudly Say thank you.

It can be said that he is the biggest beneficiary of this turmoil.

Because with the complete collapse of the aristocratic faction, the powerful force behind the eldest prince has collapsed, leaving only an empty frame.

No one with any brains would choose to support that idiot with a brain full of muscles as king.

How many people did the Hunter Association send in this operation? The old king suddenly raised his head and asked a crucial question.

Your Majesty, I think it's better for you not to know. Warrior Captain Gazef's expression suddenly turned ugly.

What's going on? Did they send a lot of people? The old king frowned and asked.

Gazef smiled bitterly and shook his head: No, Your Majesty. The situation is exactly the opposite. The association only sent out a very small number of licensed formal hunters and more than two hundred trainee hunters.

What?! The old king suddenly stood up from his chair. You mean... these few people killed more than 350 nobles of our country, as well as their most elite army of more than 30,000 people?

Yes! And according to the results of my investigation, one-third of the deaths are related to one person. Her name is Adeline, a girl who is only fifteen years old. As for the remaining three Secondly, most of them died at the hands of several professional hunter teams such as the Black Sword. This means that the number of people who actually participated in this operation was less than what was actually seen, probably no more than twenty people.

In a tone full of helplessness, Gazef told the truth that made everyone present shudder.

When he first saw the report, he was a little too convinced. It was not until he took people to the site to check it that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

no doubt!

Without exception, these official licensed hunters have crossed over into the realm of heroes and entered another level.

Regardless of professional level or mastery of the skill called life energy, they are far above him.

And he, the kingdom's strongest warrior in the past, had fallen far behind without even realizing it.

After all, Gazef had the important task of protecting the capital and the palace on weekdays. He could not go deep into the deep forests, wastelands and swamps all day long to gain experience points by killing aliens, monsters and beasts like others.

Until now, his warrior level has barely reached twenty, and he hasn't had time to learn new skills and talents.

Oh my God! Then...the strength of the official hunters, isn't it that every one of them has reached the level of the adamantine-level adventure team Blue Rose?! A shocked expression appeared on the second prince's face.

No! It's more than that! As far as I know, Blue Rose's position in the Hunter Association is not high, and it can't even be ranked in the top ten. Princess Lana dropped another explosive news.

That is to say, if the Kingdom and the Hunter Association are fully launched now, we have no chance of winning at all. No! Not only is there no chance of winning, I'm afraid we won't even be able to protect our own safety, right? The old king's heart suddenly sank.

Yes, Your Majesty. I suggest that you make a statement immediately, stating that you had no knowledge of this attack on the villages around E-Rantel, and that the nobles involved will be punished immediately. In this way, not only can it be relieved The relationship with the Hunter Association can also recover a large amount of land and rights. Marquis Raven gave his advice without thinking.

Although the deaths of those nobles made him feel a little sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, at this time there seemed to be no better solution besides giving in.

Oh, okay, I'll just listen to you. I've really failed as a king. The old king's tone was full of self-deprecation.

At this moment, he looked so tired and old.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation in the kingdom as one of internal and external troubles and precarious.

There are empires and theocracy from the outside looking at it with eager eyes, and there are a large number of decadent nobles from the inside, as well as huge criminal organizations like the Eight Fingers that are rooted in every corner.

Dragging his tired body, the old man walked to the most inconspicuous courtyard in the corner of the palace and stared at the handsome young man standing there holding a long sword.

The next second...

The young man suddenly waved the weapon in his hand!

moment!

A masterpiece of dazzling golden holy light!

When the light disappeared, the dummy wrapped in a metal baffle in front had completely evaporated, leaving only a few drops of red molten iron on the ground.

Seeing this scene, a look of relief suddenly appeared on the king's old face, and he waved to the young man: Come here, Arthur, my child.

Father! The young man quickly put away his sword and walked over.

You don't need to ask to know that this young man named Arthur is none other than Artoria, who has successfully entered the court disguised as a man.

Thanks to her iconic long blond hair and handsome appearance, no one has ever doubted her pedigree.

Because the most identifying standard of the royal family is the golden hair.

In addition, King Da Mao and Princess Lana have many similarities in appearance. Even if an outsider takes a glance, they will subconsciously think that they are a brother and sister, so the whole process did not encounter any resistance.

After all, it was just an illegitimate child, and it would not pose any threat to the two adult princes in the palace.

How is it? Can you adapt to life in the palace? the old king asked with a smile.

Yeah! Both my brother and sister Lana are very good to me, and I have almost completely adapted to it. Artoria put away her sword and replied.

It was easy to see from the pity inadvertently shown in her eyes that she had concluded that the old man in front of her had no ability to govern the country, just as she had concluded that Mordred had no ability to govern the country.

Very good! The old king nodded with satisfaction. Arthur, you are by far the best of all my children, both in terms of your talent as a warrior and your ability to make decisions about national affairs. In comparison, although Barubro is brave and barely passable, he is He doesn’t understand the most important thing about being a king at all. Zanuck is just the opposite. He is smart enough, but lacks the strength and courage to convince others. Lana is also a very smart child, but it’s a pity that she is a girl.”

I don't understand, what exactly do you want to say to me? Arturia deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Hahahaha! No, it's nothing. Just think of it as an old man's complaint. Sometimes I think about how great it would be if you weren't an illegitimate child. With your ability and Lana's wisdom, the kingdom will definitely I can get rid of the current predicament and regain my vitality. I am a king without talent. I have worked hard all my life, but in the end I can only watch the situation getting worse. The old king's eyes showed pain and sadness.

But unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

He knew very well that his extremely outstanding illegitimate son had no chance of inheriting the throne.

Even the Marquis of Besbeia, who married his eldest daughter, was higher than the Arthur in front of him in terms of succession rights.

Just when the old king was about to say something, the second prince Zanak suddenly walked out of the garden next to him.

When he saw King Da Mao, he immediately smiled and greeted warmly: Hey! Isn't this for my dear brother Arthur? How about it, have you received the war horse I gave you two days ago?

Received! Thank you very much, brother. Artoria put one hand on her chest and bowed slightly.

Just received it. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. Little Fatty patted his chest and said generously.

The reason why he did this was that on the one hand he took a fancy to the strong personal strength displayed by his younger brother and wanted to win him over to his side. After he ascended the throne and became king in the future, he could train him to become a powerful right-hand man.

After all, the identity of the illegitimate son determines that the other party will never pose a threat to the throne.

Similarly, royal blood leads to natural opposition to the nobility.

On the other hand, Zanuck felt his father's love for his younger brother, so he used this method to show the unity and friendship between the brothers to gain more impression points.

It has to be said that compared to the stupid move of the eldest prince who ridiculed and ridiculed in person, his operation was extremely clever.

Seeing his second son's enthusiasm for his younger brother, the old king actually smiled and completely sentenced his eldest son to death in his heart.

He didn't notice at all that Princess Lana was hiding in the corner of the garden. She saw everything that had just happened. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly and she murmured to herself in a voice that only he could hear: Take advantage of the opportunity now and do well. Enjoy the last bit of family affection. Because if you don’t use it, you will all die...

That... Your Highness Princess! The power Prince Arthur used just now seems to be the Holy Light of the Paladin just like me. Climb reminded carefully.

You must know that the profession of Paladin is not like warriors, mages, and druids, which can be chosen at will. Instead, it must pass the test set by Allen himself.

So far, except for him who took the back door, only a handful of people have succeeded in the test.

So what? He is my brother, that's enough.

Lana smiled and inserted a freshly cut rose into her little follower's chest, and then looked at him with affectionate eyes.

Clem, who was still a virgin, couldn't bear the stimulation of this intimate act. He immediately stood there with his face flushed, his heart beating several times faster than usual, and he didn't dare to move.

As for what I wanted to say just now, I have already forgotten all about it.

…

On the other side, inside the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Ainz was sitting in his own chair, staring at Albedo, who had just been resurrected and was kneeling in front of him.

After a full minute, he asked: Tell me, have you learned enough lessons now? Do you still dare to continue to look down on human beings and treat them as ants that can be slaughtered at will?

I'm extremely sorry! Your Majesty! It's all my fault that you lost a precious world item - the Abyss of Hell. Albedo's whole body was lying on the ground, her voice full of guilt and fear.

You don't need to ask to know that she is already afraid of Allen's completely unreasonable force and murderous methods.

No! Compared with the information obtained, the loss of a mere piece of Hell's Abyss is nothing. Remember, before getting my permission, all guardians are prohibited from approaching human activity areas outside the big forest, let alone capturing or harming Any human who breaks in by mistake. Ainz gave the order in a serious tone.

Understood! But Your Majesty, since we can't attack humans, what about the non-human alien races? In the short time you have been out, we have discovered that there are a considerable number of lizards living in the swamps in the southwest. If the human tribe can conquer there, it will be very beneficial to expand the power of the Great Tomb. Demiurge made a new suggestion.

Alien? Ainz touched his chin with a thoughtful expression, and nodded quickly. Okay! Let's start by conquering these alien races. But we need to keep a low profile. It's best to completely isolate the surroundings and prevent any news from spreading.

Please don't worry! I will take care of this matter. Demiurge's glasses flashed with light.

Obviously, this extremely evil demon is planning to make some small moves in private again.

But he didn't know that the plan in his mind was just dancing on the tip of a knife, and could accidentally push the entire Nazarick into the abyss.
