The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"Aha……"

Beta rubbed his sleepy eyes and carried the two still-resting baby unicorns into the conference room.

"Too slow, isn't it? Ipsyron went to bed later than you and he's already in the conference room."

Upon entering, Beta was immediately attacked by Delta.

“It’s not even dawn yet…” Beta muttered, but didn’t offer any further rebuttal to Delta.

It is true that Ipsilon goes to bed late and gets up early. After all, if a disaster like the "War of the Eight Princes" had occurred in Saint-Tian, ​​where she was born, she wouldn't be able to sleep well at her age either.

However, you still need to sleep, otherwise it will damage your skin, causing dryness and even wrinkles.

Even if you care about national affairs, you can't ruin your health. I'll remind Ipsyron to take care of himself later.

“Alright,” Ipsilon said, acting as peacemaker, “let’s talk about our future operations in the Kingdom of Westphalia.”

Beta arrived before dawn for the purpose of the upcoming Three Shadows meeting.

Unfortunately, our schedules are too different, so the best time to meet and discuss things is definitely after dark and before dawn.

After nightfall, Delta infiltrated the military camp to gather intelligence, which is why the three-shadow meeting was scheduled for just before dawn.

With the Three Shadows meeting over, Delta should probably go to bed soon.

"How is it?" Beta asked Hakidelta, yawning.

Delta knew, of course, that Beta was asking what she had found out, and she shrugged slightly, saying, "I can't say I found out any classified information; I can only say I got nothing."

“Indeed.” Beta was not surprised at all: “Having just arrived in the Kingdom of Westphalia, if he could find out about the cultists on his first infiltration of the military camp, Ipsilon wouldn’t be having such a headache about the situation in the Kingdom of Westphalia.”

“Yes.” Ipsyron’s eyes welled up with tears.

Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it.

"Let's decide on the division of labor. Let Ipsilon, who is most familiar with the Kingdom of Westphalia, take charge," Delta said. "The three of us can't always stay together, and there are no enemies that require our combined efforts at the moment."

“You’re right. (But…)” Beta continued, “The Kingdom of Westphalia is so big after all, it would be more efficient for the three of us to split up and go to different places.”

Not only that, Beta also doesn't want to get up so early every day for the "Three Shadows Meeting" anymore; your skin will scream in pain!

“Alright.” Ipsilon nodded. In the familiar Kingdom of Westphalia, the operation would naturally be led by her, so she had already thought about the division of labor for the next operation: “Then I will speak.”

Delta, you stay here and continue to gather information. If you feel you can't get anything out of the troops stationed in Moonshadow Territory, then go and gather information from the troops stationed in nearby territories.

This area is all under the control of Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North. We don't know his exact location yet. Delta, keep an eye out when you're investigating; cultists are most likely to be near him…”

"Ha, the 'Iron Wall King of the North,' huh?" The blonde, mature vampire Delta scoffed. "What kind of 'iron wall' is so leaky that vampires and elves from the neighboring kingdom can freely enter the Kingdom of Westphalia?"

Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North, was originally responsible for guarding the northern border with the Olmec Kingdom and for handling diplomacy with the Olmec Kingdom.

Since the outbreak of the War of the Eight Princes, all the princes have abandoned their duties... no, they have all rebelled. Who cares about the duties entrusted to them by the royal family?

It could be said that "If there is no rebellion, I will listen to you."

Even if you rebel, I will still listen to you.

"Then I rebelled for nothing?"

The fact that the eight kings have all abandoned their duties is a major reason for the current chaotic state of the Kingdom of Westphalia.

Ipsilon remained noncommittal regarding Delta's sarcastic remarks.

The sarcasm hit the nail on the head, but Ipsyron couldn't bring himself to laugh.

After a moment of silence, Ipsilon continued with his arrangements for Beta: "Beta, you will take over my previous work and arrange for the servants to provide aid to refugees throughout the Kingdom of Westphalia."

Winning over the hearts and minds of the people will greatly help our subsequent actions.

“Okay.” Beta nodded; this task suited her perfectly.

With two little unicorns, Fei'er and Cui'er, by her side, Beta couldn't afford to be too far away from them for too long. She also didn't want to take Fei'er and Cui'er into the heart of the war in the Kingdom of Westphalia. It seemed that the task of helping refugees was more suitable for her.

Beta smiled at Ipsyron's concern.

"So, what are your plans?" Delta glanced at Ipsilon and asked her about her own plans.

“I think I should go to the capital to take a look…” Ipsyron replied.

Upon hearing this, the elf and the vampire stood up.

"The capital..."

Beta was not yet clear about the specific situation in the Kingdom of Westphalia, but he knew that the capital city, the center of the chaos in the Kingdom of Westphalia, was the most dangerous place.

"Going alone?" Delta asked.

“Yes, bringing other servants would only make things worse if we ran into trouble, as it would be a burden.” Ipsilon quickly understood the two women’s concerns: “It’s alright, I’m just going to take a look around the capital. Even if the King and General of Westphalia besiege me, they won’t be able to stop me.”

This is not arrogance.

Ipsilon is, after all, an eighth-tier mage who has mastered all the basic elemental magic and is most skilled in spatial magic, known for its "you give me oil" technique. Even if he can't defeat the King and General of the Kingdom of Westphalia, escaping won't be a problem.

“That’s true.” Beta smiled.

Ipsilon's combat strength is also among the top of the Ten Shadows. It would be difficult for Beta to escape unscathed in a one-on-two fight. If Delta hadn't been using a silver weapon that is effective against vampires, he probably could have chased after both of them.

“I’m here to gather intelligence on the Eighth Prince, and you’re here to gather intelligence on the capital.” Delta tossed her long, straight blonde hair. “If all else fails, the three of us can storm the capital, capture the King of Westphalia, and then… well… use the emperor to command the disobedient? Use the emperor to command the princes? Oh… that won’t work. They’ll just rebel. Even if we capture the king, they won’t care, and you’ll still be applauding…”

Indeed, with the combat strength of three eighth-tier professionals—Beta, Delta, and Ipsilon, two of whom are at the upper-middle level of eighth-tier professionals—and considering the combat strength of the two eighth-tier professionals in the royal city, they could really storm into the royal capital...

However, it's still too risky. After all, he is the King of Westphalia, and who knows what tricks he might have up his sleeve in the capital.

Let the other eight princes step on the trap.
