Immediately, he began to lay out the plan ordered by Ares.

“Loki Familia, 【Nine Hells】, Lv.6.”

These words were prominently displayed on the report.

“Freya Familia, 【White Magic Staff】, Lv.6, 【Black Magic Sword】, Lv.6.”

Following that were two powerful members of the Freya Familia.

And then, the genius of the Hephaestus Familia.

When King Marten saw this list, a strange smile appeared on his face. He slapped the table, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he saw a great opportunity:

His voice was filled with fervent admiration, his mind filled with the glorious future depicted by the god Ares. The imagined victory was close at hand; as long as they could capture the members of these three familias, they could force the entire city to bow their heads in submission.

These few intelligent people had sided with Marius, forming a solid political faction. Now, most of them had gone to the battlefield with Marius, far away from the capital.

Correspondingly, those who resolutely supported the foolish king were naturally on the opposite side of the crown prince's faction.

However, they generally lacked the ability to think and judge. The reason why King Marten relied on these people was because they always executed orders without hesitation, never questioning the instructions of the king and the god Ares.

One outlandish plan after another kept popping out of their mouths.

“Declare war on the Loki Familia!”

“Declare war on the Hephaestus Familia!”

King Marten scanned his subordinates, his gaze landing on a slightly shrewd middle-aged man: "Minister of Finance, you are the smartest among us. Think of a way to capture Riveria and the others!"

Good heavens, the reason he followed the king was purely because there were too many capable people in Crown Prince Marius's faction, leaving him no room to display his talents.

But now, he regretted it, deeply regretted it. He finally realized that the faction he was in was simply a madhouse.

The content on the paper was extremely absurd, making one wonder if these people had eaten herbs or mushrooms with hallucinogenic effects.

“So, we're still acting in self-defense?”

Hedin and the others stood aside, their expressions varied. Faced with this pile of irrational plans, they didn't know how to react for a moment.

He was clearly still recovering from this sudden blow, unable to accept that the power he prided himself on had disintegrated in an instant.

The palace was silent, with only the sound of pages turning echoing in the air. Everyone was scrutinizing these crazy plans, seemingly trying to find a trace of logic and reason in them, but ultimately they could only shake their heads in vain.

Because the Razia Kingdom tried to harm them first, all the responsibility could not fall on Riveria and the others—no matter who judged, they could only come to one conclusion: the adventurers' actions were justified and necessary.

In short, King Marten's behavior made Wei Gong and the others' previous hesitation seem very presumptuous.

The opponents were Lv.1 guards and a few Lv.2 squad leaders, while their side had Lv.6 Hedin, Hegni, Lv.5 Ryu, and Wei Gong—even the well-informed 【Black and White Knights】 had never fought such an easy battle.

Chapter 163: The Lottery Moment.

Even now, he still felt that as the ruler of the kingdom, he should not be treated like this, let alone be humiliated like a prisoner by these people.

He gritted his teeth and shouted: “It's just relying on brute force to be rude! Especially that elf Riveria, what a proud bitch! Just because she has some strength, she thinks she can do whatever she wants—”

“Bang!”

King Marten was kicked backward, letting out a painful muffled groan. He tried to struggle, but his bound hands made him unable to move.

“Next, it's time to get down to business.”

Seeing that the king, curled up in a ball, could no longer make any sound, Hedin methodically arranged things. This raid, with a difficulty roughly equivalent to the first twelve floors of the dungeon, was still under his command.

The Crozzo Magic Sword was a special kind of magic sword. In the past, the Razia Kingdom once relied on them to become an invincible overlord.

As long as one awakened the "Blood of Crozzo", even a Lv.1 blacksmith could easily create works with power far exceeding ordinary magic swords.

Even Tsubaki, the magic swords she made, apart from 【Magic Sword Spiral Sword】, could not compare with the power of the Crozzo Magic Sword.

The legendary blood of the fairy spirit gradually dimmed, the Crozzo family's forging talent gradually disappeared, and the skill of making magic swords also declined.

What Hedin asked Hegni to pay attention to were the Crozzo Magic Swords made by the previous generations of blacksmiths that the Razia Kingdom might have preserved.

Hedin continued to arrange things.

The Razia Kingdom packaged the cruel system of "slavery" as "contract labor", trying to cover up its barbaric nature and avoid condemnation and attacks from other major powers.

Even until ten days ago, Wei Gong did not know of the existence of this country.

So-called "great powers" like the Razia Kingdom have actually declined and become insignificant existences.

“I will personally guard the palace here to ensure that no accidents happen. Also, I will also take care of the kingdom's military camp.”

Hedin said, gently pushing his glasses.

There was no need for Wei Gong, Ryu, or Princess Riveria to personally get involved in these things that required getting their hands dirty and would affect their reputation. It was enough for him, the 【White Magic Staff】 (Sadistic Glasses), to take care of such trivial matters.

Ryu opened her mouth and suggested softly.

After spending the past few days with Riveria, Hedin, and the others, this "useless elf" gradually understood their position and began to think about these issues.

As the adjutant to the commander-in-chief, Marius had always shouldered the responsibility of actual command, after all, the commander-in-chief in name was the completely unreliable god Ares.

In the chaos, the generals tried to maintain order, but as more and more officers came into contact with the battle reports, the news could no longer be suppressed, and emotions of shock, anger, and unease spread throughout the army.

As a result, they were easily defeated by the 【Sword King】 and the 【Black and White Knights】, and the adventurers quickly stormed into the palace, directly capturing the foolish king, and the entire palace instantly fell.

Soon, the flames of rebellion spread throughout the capital. The freed slaves—the most numerous humans, the strong dwarves, the nimble elves, the berserk amazons and beastmen—all rose up in revolt, and even the usually inconspicuous Lilliputs were mobilized.

In the end, the capital's garrison was almost completely annihilated. The residential areas were not attacked much, but the palace and administrative districts, as well as the military camps near the capital, were flattened.

This sudden chaos caused the Razia Kingdom's army near Orario to completely lose its composure. The originally orderly retreat quickly turned into a rout in panic and fear. The soldiers were terrified and fled in all directions, no longer caring about formation and discipline, and the entire army fell into chaos.

Xia Ke decisively seized this opportunity and led the adventurers to launch a fierce attack. The adventurers were in high spirits, like an unstoppable torrent, completely crushing the already collapsed Razia Kingdom army.

“Also, tell those adventurers who set out from 【War City】 and are rushing towards us, let them name their conditions, how much they want, we will give them.”

Chapter 164: Prestige Among the Elves.

At this time, the outline of the tallest building in the labyrinth city—the Tower of Babel—was standing on the horizon, appearing in everyone's field of vision, and gradually becoming clearer.

During this period, the adventurers did not attack the kingdom's cities again. On the contrary, every time they arrived at a place, those cities would actively open their doors to welcome them, showing unusual obedience.

The prime minister was fished out of the palace dungeon by Hedin. After learning what the king had done, he just sighed and then expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with Riveria and the others' actions.

Riveria and the others didn't deliberately conceal their movements, and coupled with the attention the Elf Princess naturally garnered, their every action was closely monitored by the Razia Kingdom's intelligence agencies. The kingdom's intelligence department quickly gathered and summarized this information, delivering it to the hands of the Foolish King.

“Hephaestus Familia, 【Sword King】, Lv.2.”

“Astraea Familia, 【Gale】, Lv.5.”

“As expected of the God Ares! If we can wipe out the people from these three Familia in one fell swoop, the city will have no choice but to compromise and hand over 'Crozzo'.”

At this time, the “disaster” caused by Marius gradually became apparent—because he was far too superior to the king, this crown prince had already won the support and allegiance of almost everyone with a modicum of intelligence among the kingdom's upper echelons.

As for the few who remained in the capital, they were thrown into chaos because the prime minister—their key figure—had been brutally overthrown by the king. They temporarily lost control of the royal palace, and intelligence was cut off as a result.

Most of these people were martial faction members with considerable strength, including many Lv.2 powerhouses. Their combat power was remarkable to a certain extent.

“Capture the Elf Princess alive and invade Alfheim!”

They shouted.

“Occupy Orario! God Ares will be the Great Emperor, and His Majesty the King will be the Second Emperor!”

“Let the damned elves know our might!”

“Declare war on the Freya Familia!”

The Astraea Familia, now reduced to a few stragglers, was ignored by them.

He directly appointed him, his tone unquestionable.

Minister of Finance: “Ah? Me?”

This Minister of Finance, notorious for his selfishness, meanness, greed, and shrewdness, had been breaking out in a cold sweat and trembling like a leaf from the moment he heard the Foolish King's plan.

On the Foolish King's side, however, his intelligence was outstanding, like a crane among chickens, and he was highly valued as a result, easily obtaining the high position of Minister of Finance.

Three days later.

Womiya and the others stood inside the Razia Kingdom's royal palace, with documents spread out before them. These documents included secret letters from God Ares to the Foolish King, as well as various outrageous plans that the Foolish King and his subordinates had racked their brains to write.

Womiya said, his tone tinged with helplessness.

The king and his loyal subordinates were now tied up and thrown on the palace floor. The Foolish King's face was deep red from the rush of blood, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

The king's subordinates were in a sorry state, their former arrogance and arrogance completely gone, their eyes revealing a hint of panic and regret.

Previously, Womiya and the others had wanted to minimize the negative impact that a raid on the Razia Kingdom's capital might cause. However, the foolishness of God Ares and this king had rendered all their efforts futile.

Now, even if Riveria personally used 【High Elf's Victory Sword】 to erase the Razia Kingdom's royal palace from the map, no one could say she was wrong.

As for the difficulty of the adventurers raiding the capital, this was never a concern. The simplicity of this battle even surpassed Womiya's initial adventure into the dungeon under the guidance of 【Extraordinary Husband】.

Even now, the vast majority of the Razia Kingdom's citizens in 【City of War】 were still asleep, unaware that the king had been taken down by the attackers.

King Marting was tied up and thrown on the ground, still trying to maintain his majesty in the face of adversity. He glared at the adventurers before him, his eyes full of anger and resentment.

“You outsiders! Invaders!”

Before he could finish speaking, Heding's eyes flashed with cold light.

The king was about to shout something else, but Heding had already arrived in front of him, raising his foot and kicking him directly. Without the slightest hesitation, and without giving him time to react, the sole of Heding's shoe landed heavily on his face, cutting off his words.

Heding clearly didn't intend to stop there. He raised his staff and swung the blunt side of it several times in a row, each blow causing the other party to let out a mournful cry, without any mercy.

“Hegni, go to the kingdom's armory. Don't worry about anything else. The only goal is all the 'Crozzo Magic Swords'. Take what you can, destroy what you can't.”

The crafting technique for these magic swords was only mastered by the smiths of the Crozzo family—the true power of the Crozzo magic swords came from the fairy blood passed down through generations of the Crozzo family, which endowed them with special forging abilities.

However, as the Razia Kingdom used the magic swords extensively in war, the Crozzo family's blessing seemed to be rapidly declining in this endless slaughter and destruction.

Today, the entire Razia Kingdom can't even find an heir to the Crozzo bloodline.

“【Gale】, you and Womiya, take Lady Riveria's warrant and go to the slave market to rescue our compatriots and slaves of other races.”

However, this was just a futile whitewash. No matter how the name was changed, the brutal nature of slavery remained unchanged.

Womiya and the others only learned about this today—not because they were ignorant, but because the Razia Kingdom was simply not worth paying attention to for the adventurers of Orario.

In the eyes of adventurers, such a country was just a name on the map, and they usually wouldn't pay attention to it, let alone bother to study what was happening there.

Given the nature of the elves, they wouldn't attack the ordinary civilians of the kingdom, but a blood debt of a race must be paid for.

Anyway, his reputation wasn't very good to begin with, so one more stain wouldn't matter.

“For the military camp, let Womiya hand over the magic swords to our compatriots in the slave market, and then let them go over there, how about it?”

The teachings of 【Thousand Year Holy Staff】 were beginning to show results.

Heding looked over silently. After a moment, he said softly, “Okay.”

When Prince Marius of the Razia Kingdom received the battle report from the rear, his vision went black, and he actually fainted.

At that moment, the crown prince's coma plunged the Razia Kingdom's army into chaos, like a ship without guidance, swaying in the storm.

King Marting, who was stationed in the capital, had tried to capture the adventurers passing through the kingdom, including 【Nine Magic Princess】 Riveria and others, as a bargaining chip to force Orario to compromise.

And this was just the beginning. The extremely angry elven adventurers then destroyed the capital's “Contract Adjudication Office”—the actual slave market—and released all the slaves within.

The slaves picked up extremely high-quality standard swords and sabers that they didn't know where they came from. They stormed the capital's armory and seized a large number of magic swords.

Then, they turned their attention to the kingdom's military camp, launching a massive attack.

Now, these slave soldiers were advancing all the way under the leadership of the adventurers, heading towards Orario, which was the rear of the kingdom's main force.

The commander of the Orario Familia Allied Forces was the captain of the Ganesha Familia, 【Elephant God's Staff】 Shakti. Although she didn't know what was happening inside the enemy's army, she knew that this was a rare opportunity.

From the time Marius first received the battle report to the time the entire kingdom's army was on the verge of collapse, it all happened in less than a day.

When Marius finally woke up from his coma, he immediately realized that the situation was irreversible and decisively issued the order: “Immediately negotiate with the Orario Adventurers Guild to make peace, no, to surrender.”

164

Riveria looked into the distance and said, “We're almost to Orario.”

They had traveled all the way from the Razia Kingdom's capital 【City of War】, crossing the vast western plains, and finally returned to familiar Orario.

Achieving this effect was not only due to the adventurers' strength, but also because there were two key figures in their team—the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance of the Razia Kingdom.

As for the Minister of Finance, he defected even earlier. After attending the Foolish King's mobilization meeting that day, this petty man, who was accustomed to assessing the situation, immediately realized that things were not good.
