Mount Garo was a mysterious mountain range. Unlike the Kevlar Mountains, this mountain range was neither long nor tall. However, the mountains here were very dense and surrounded by mountains, making it easy to get lost.
Due to the lack of strategic importance, it was often neglected. The dry weather made it a desert, and even bandits were unwilling to come here.
The Demon King led a team that could cross the desert and mountains. Most of them were Rabbitmen and Humans, with some Centaur archers. The heavily-armored soldiers were all left in the city and were guarded by the Queen Mother.
Under Zeba's recommendation, the Demon King agreed to Bru's participation and brought him along. Zeba followed the original plan and continued to march east to attack the next city. On the third day after attacking the city, the Demon King and Zeba's teams left the city. The Queen Mother sat in Richard's seat and revealed a rare melancholy expression.
At this moment, an Orc with a smile appeared. He held a large plate with both hands with a large piece of barbecued meat on it.
"Queen Mother, this is the most delicious food of the Orcs, Axe Barbecued Meat! Try it and see if it's to your liking. If you like it, I'll ask the servants to cook it every day. "
The visitor was Derry, a shapeshifting monster who was once the leader of a small adventurer's guild. He had been lurking for many years for the sake of the Queen Mother's smooth birth.
The Queen Mother had a bored expression. She stretched out her index finger, and a sharp nail suddenly grew from the tip of her finger. She gently cut off a piece of meat. Derry was stunned as he looked at this elegant lady. This was not the Queen Mother that he knew. When did she become as fastidious as a human?
"It's so-so. I added too much oil and salt, and it's very greasy. I didn't control the fire well. I can only give it 4 out of 10," the Queen Mother said calmly.
Derry's face was ashen. He had spent a lot of effort to cook this personally, but the Queen Mother didn't like it. Moreover, the way she ate was completely different from before. What happened to her? Why did she seem like a different person?
It felt an unprecedented level of worry and anxiety.
That despicable Richard! What did he do to the Queen Mother?
Suddenly, Deri transformed into an owl and flew to the Queen Mother's side.
"Mother Empress! Now is the best time to strike back. We can take advantage of the time when Richard goes to Mount Garo to summon our compatriots scattered all over the world. After this period of time, the number of our soldiers has doubled. As long as you gather them, there is no army in the world today that can stop us. Naturally, Richard will not be a problem, "Delhi said excitedly.
The Mother Empress propped up her chin and looked at the meat on the table as if she was thinking about something.
"Mother Empress! What are you still thinking about? This is an opportunity that cannot be missed! Think about why he sent our compatriots to different parts of the world. It is because he is afraid of you. "
"That's enough, Derry. Say no more."
At this moment, the calm Queen Mother suddenly spoke. Deri was stunned as he looked at the Queen Mother.
"What are you talking about? Mother Empress, you were born to lead us! Not obeying others! You were born to be a king! You are our king! "Delhi cried out in grief.
The Queen Mother frowned, revealing a bitter expression.
"I know. I haven't forgotten."
"Then! That! Why not … "
"Now is not the time."
"Now is the time. You've seen how fast he's expanding. Once he's strong enough, we'll never have the chance to make a comeback," Delhi said with a sobbing tone. He had always been fighting for his race.
"No, you have not reached that level, so you do not know how strong he is. Even if I gather more troops, we will not be his match. He is a monster, Deri. Compared to him, I am just an ordinary person."
The Queen Mother said in a very calm tone. She stretched out her right hand with her palm facing up.
White light spots slowly appeared in the air. They gathered in the Queen Mother's palm and formed an energy ball that emitted a terrifying energy wave.
"This! Mother Empress, you have learned magic!? "
Deri could feel the terror of this energy ball. It could probably destroy half a city.
"I learned it from him, and it's just the tip of the iceberg. I found that the closer I get to him, the more mysterious he is. It will not be easy to defeat him," the Queen Mother said with a sigh.
"I … I don't understand, but Mother Empress, you have not forgotten your mission. You have to know that we are all your people. Even if we die, we will not hesitate to follow your orders."
Deri lowered his head.
"I know."
The Queen Mother reached out her hand and patted the owl's head.
"Don't worry, I will not work under him for the rest of my life. I want to learn his skills and use him to help me clear the strong enemies in the world. When I grow to the point where I can take charge, that will be the time for us to be independent. However, to defeat him, we need to find his weakness. "
Hearing this, the owl's eyes lit up and looked up at the Queen Mother.
"Mother Empress! You, you have a plan? "
"Not yet, but he has never mentioned his past. I think this might be helpful to me," the Queen Mother said.
"Past? Oh, I don't know much. He disguised himself as a human and joined the Adventurer's Guild. Right! At that time, he was with a human girl of twelve or thirteen years old! "
Deri suddenly said.
"Little girl?"
The Queen Mother grew suspicious. She had never seen a little girl by Richard's side.
"What happened?"
"Did you forget? When he was born, she was also there. A thin blonde girl, her name seems to be … "
The owl stretched out his wings and placed them under his beak, as if he could not remember.
"What's her name? Tell me! "
The Queen Mother was a little impatient.
"Ah! I remember now. She seems to be called Reina! "Deri said excitedly.
"Reina? I seem to have heard this name before. "
The Queen Mother thought for a moment. In the hazy world, she seemed to have heard a voice.
A blonde little girl.
She seemed to have an impression.
Since she was related to Richard, where was she now? Why had Richard never mentioned her before?
"Perhaps … perhaps it's just his hobby. Many humanoid demons have this sort of hobby. However, most of them will be killed once they reach a certain level of maturity, or tossed away when they get bored."
Deri said.
"Ah? No way. He's that sort of person? "
The Queen Mother was taken aback. However, after she calmed down, she realized that Richard did not seem to be that sort of person. After all, there were quite a few humans in the Wussen Empire.
"No, it's possible that he abandoned her. If that Reina is still alive, perhaps we can obtain some unexpected information." The Queen Mother's lips curved. She leaned back in her chair and said, "Deri, I have an important person for you. Go find that little girl for me."
"Yes! Mother Empress! "
After speaking, the owl flapped its wings and left the palace.
