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

"Lord Phantom!"

The blonde, mature vampire pounced excitedly, but unfortunately, because Gray had shielded Beta in front of her beforehand, she couldn't get a second chance.

Aliceville followed the two obsequiously, and now she came into contact with the second of the Ten Shadow Attendants of the Shadow Court.

After learning that Beta and Delta were both eighth-tier professionals, Aliceville no longer had any doubts about attacking the garrison of Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North.

Aliceville wasn't sure of Gray's exact magic rank, but judging from how the two eighth-rank professionals relied on him, she figured Gray was at least at the eighth rank.

As for three level-eight combatants, they are more than capable of defeating one level-eight Northern Ironwall King, Roderick Stiller.

The tens of thousands of soldiers under his command are no different from ants in front of high-level professionals, and may even be worse than ants.

Even an ant is so small that it's not easy to crush one.

For high-level professionals, slaughtering ordinary soldiers is basically a matter of a swift stroke of the blade.

"Is this... Princess Aliceville Celestio, the second princess of the Kingdom of Westphalia?" Delta glanced at the girl following behind the two.

Alice Villa looked speechless.

Why do they always question my identity every time they mention me? I am the genuine Second Princess of the Kingdom of Westphalia!

"That's for Ipsiron to decide." Beta, Delta, and Greco were all very unfamiliar with the royal family of the Kingdom of Westphalia.

Upon hearing this, Gray remembered that one of the Ten Shadow Attendants in the Kingdom of Westphalia was still missing, and asked, "Where is the Ipsilonian?"

Beta replied, "When the tasks were divided, I was responsible for providing relief to the refugees and winning over the people, Delta was responsible for gathering intelligence on Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North, and Ipsyron went to the capital alone."

"I wonder when you'll be back?" Gray asked, receiving a slight nod from Beta.

Although Ipsilon went to the royal city alone, there is no need to worry about Ipsilon's safety. Ipsilon, who knows spatial magic, has an escape ability that no one among the Ten Shadow Attendants can match.

Gray and Beta met up with Delta to obtain information about Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North, so they could act together.

Shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first.

If we could capture Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North, as soon as possible, it wouldn't be difficult to force the army, which had lost its leader, to surrender.

Unfortunately, based on the information Delta had gathered, a simple plan to take down this army was not feasible.

After all, even Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North, had disappeared without a trace.

After listening to Delta's summary and speculation about the infiltration operation over the past few days, Gray murmured, "Does that mean the local garrison thought that Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North, was still in the camp, but in fact he has long since disappeared without a trace, and may be plotting something big?"

"I believe that Lord Shadow's summary is correct..." Delta gently stroked her golden hair.

Gray frowned slightly.

The simplest plan to force surrender won't work, but since we've come all this way, even if it's a bit troublesome, we can't leave empty-handed.

With tens of thousands of soldiers, and with myself, Beta, Delta, and the other vampire servants around, we should be able to handle it in one night.

In the end, they returned to their old ways of operating at night.

—————————————————————

The objective of this nighttime operation has changed; it is no longer to gather intelligence, but to take over the entire military camp.

A hundred horsemen raided the Wei camp, a feat that shook the world! (Although there weren't even a hundred horsemen.)

"Everyone."

Before the operation began, Gray changed into his black robe and arrived at the place under the name "Shadow".

The vampire servants were all new recruits rescued from the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild's dungeon. They hadn't carried out many missions yet, and unlike the other servants, they didn't have the supreme heroic image of "Lord Shadow" etched in their hearts.

This is also an opportunity to demonstrate my authority to them.

"The objective of tonight's operation is to render all the soldiers in the entire camp powerless."

A deep voice rang out from the figure in black robes.

After all, they were not facing unforgivable cult members, but ordinary soldiers, who were just civilians trying to survive and earn their paychecks. Their primary goal was to capture them alive, not to kill them.

The captured soldiers were handed over to Aliceville for management.

The number of Shadow Court servants was too large to manage, and they certainly didn't bother managing such a large number of ordinary soldiers, so they simply handed them over to Aliceville to train her team.

"Oh." Thinking of Alice Vil, Gray realized he had forgotten to tell her what to do. After all, she had come along, so why not give her something to do?

"Aliceville, you should follow the waiters."

Gray dismissed the task assigned to Aliceville in a very simple way.

Aside from her status as the second princess of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Alice Vil is just a fourth-tier magic-based professional. She doesn't receive any special treatment from Gray and is treated the same as ordinary servants.

That's the only arrangement we can make.

The fourth-tier Aliceville can't keep up with Beta, Delta, and Gray's movements. If we don't arrange it this way, the only option left is to let Aliceville hide in the back and slack off (crossed out) and remain inactive.

"The operation begins, gentlemen, may the campaign proceed smoothly!"

After uttering those words, Gray's figure vanished instantly.

Taking this as a signal, Beta and Delta immediately took action, with the waiters following closely behind. Still somewhat bewildered, Aliceville obediently followed behind the waiters.

The operation was chosen to take place at night, partly because this was the only time the vampire servants could move, and partly because most soldiers were asleep at night.

Therefore, as long as the soldiers on night watch are taken down silently, the remaining soldiers who are fast asleep in their tents will be at the mercy of the enemy.

Gray first followed Delta to the chief of staff's tent.

Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North, is not here. Of the remaining people, this chief of staff is the most mysterious and unpredictable, and is probably a highly skilled professional.

High-level combat power must be taken down by high-level professionals.

The soldiers standing guard outside the chief of staff's tent were probably the worst off in this operation.

Faced with the combination of the Shadow Demon and the blonde mature vampire, they hadn't even seen what the shadow was before they lay down on the spot and fell asleep.

Upon opening the chief of staff's tent flap, Delta immediately realized something was wrong.

However, this unease did not stem from a sense of crisis.

A second victory felt just like when I stormed into the camp of Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North.

There was no sign of life in the tent.

this means……

It wasn't just Roderick Stiller, the Iron Wall King of the North.

Even the chief of staff has vanished without a trace.
