Chapter 872: Kaguraita Yuuki is somewhat confused; Damrada's betrayal
The strength of these three people is such that each of them can be ranked among the top in the 'Demon Federation', and they are top-notch even on the mainland.
Rimuru felt at ease with the three of them.
Just like that, the infiltrator was decided upon.
But at this moment, a green figure quietly appeared in the conference room.
Everyone subconsciously became alert, but after seeing the true face of the person who came, they retracted their half-drawn swords.
The person who came was none other than Xiao, one of the Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortals, who was also known as the 'Great Sage Conquering Demons' by the world.
"I have come by order of the Emperor to assist Lord Rimuru in his mission of infiltrating the Empire."
Xiao's cold voice echoed throughout the conference room.
After hearing Xiao's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all showed an expression of understanding.
It seems that this battle is really stable, as stable as it can be!
Although no one knows the strength of Xiao, it is undeniable that Xiao is very strong, truly powerful.
The title of "The Strongest Demon King in History" can perfectly reflect Xiao's own strength.
Not to mention, 'Xiao' has awakened now.
Although we don't know how powerful Xiao will be after his awakening, if we analyze it based on other people who have completed their awakening, Xiao's current strength has definitely been transformed.
Even the current 'Xiao' might be only slightly stronger than a few adults.
Anyway, with Xiao by his side, Lord Rimuru will be safer.
Rimuru was also a little surprised after hearing Xiao's words, but he quickly grasped the situation.
A trace of warmth welled up in my heart.
Sure enough, her 'Ali' has her in his heart!
Although 'Rimuru' and 'Mo Li' are both leaders of the 'Demon Federation', 'Xiao' is an existence that 'Rimuru' cannot command.
Hmm. I can't give orders!
It's not just Rimuru, the same goes for the others.
Although under normal circumstances, they can't see 'Xiao'.
Only ordinary people would regard 'Xiao' as a subordinate, a guardian yaksha and a guard under 'Mo Li'.
But everyone who knows the truth understands how exaggerated the favor that the Emperor has shown to Xiao!
The words 'successor' are not said in vain!
Apart from 'Rimuru-sama', 'Guizhong-sama'... and other individual existences, 'Xiao' holds a higher status in the heart of the Emperor!
However, Rimuru was troubled at this moment.
After all, their operation this time was a 'stealth operation', so naturally the fewer people they brought, the better.
That's why she brought Benimaru, Diablo, and Testarossa with her.
However, now that Xiao is joining in, plus myself, there will be five people in total. Isn’t the target a bit too big?
After thinking for a moment, Rimuru made a decision.
Five people are just five people!
There is only one less person than four people. One more or one less doesn’t make much either!
Not to mention, Xiao was sent by Ali himself. Even if she disagreed, Xiao would most likely follow her secretly! So...
Brought it!!!
"Alright! Then, Xiao, you'll be included in this mission! However... this time, you must follow my instructions for the 'infiltration plan'!"
Rimuru said to Xiao as if to remind him.
“Yes. Rimuru-sama.”
After Xiao finished speaking, he quietly walked to an inconspicuous corner of the conference room and stopped speaking.
Xiao had no interest in so-called power and status. He came here only because the Emperor ordered him to protect Lord Rimuru's safety.
So he came!
Since it is the order of Lord Emperor, Xiao will definitely give his all to accomplish it!
For this... even if it means sacrificing Xiao's own life, it is worth it!
At this moment, 'Xiao' simply forgot the last half of 'Mo Li's' sentence, and didn't remember at all what 'Emperor' told him to "do what he can".
As long as it is a task assigned to him by the 'Emperor', he must do his utmost to complete it.
In fact, there was really no danger in this battle. After all, someone who was worried about us sent his avatar to follow us secretly.
The reason why Mo Li sent Xiao was, on the one hand, to let him guard Rimuru, and on the other hand, Xiao had just awakened to the realm of "True Demon King" and needed to familiarize himself with his own strength.
After Xiao awakened, Li Qiye tried to test Xiao's strength, but this was not a real battle after all, so thinking that Rimuru also had to go to the Empire, he let Xiao go with him.
At this moment, the 'King of Wisdom' in Rimuru's mind looked at this team and fell silent.
Benimaru, Diablo, Testarossa, Xiao... are you sure you're going to infiltrate, and not just to break through the Eastern Empire?!
'Benimaru' is indeed very strong, but compared to the other three, he is still a little bit behind.
The two 'original demons' are at the level of 'Demon King'. Apart from that other abnormal existence, they are the most top-notch combat force.
Not to mention, Diablo and Testarossa are the two strongest "Originals" among the "Seven Original Demons", except for Guy, the "Original Red".
And Xiao…,…, the “King of Wisdom” bluntly said, “Is this really the strength that a newly awakened Demon King can possess?!”
He has the power of a newly awakened demon king!?
The 'King of Wisdom' seriously doubts that this world is playing her!?
It was fine if Morax exceeded the standard, she could tolerate it even if Rādhāraṇa exceeded the standard, but why did even a Yakṣa under Morax exceed the standard so much!?
In terms of hard power, the current 'Xiao' can beat more than three 'Rimuru's' who have just awakened!
Moreover, if she was not mistaken, Xiao... had at least multiple ultimate skills!
What a joke! ?
The reason why Rimuru had two Ultimate Skills was because she, Morax, couldn’t see through it, and Velzard and Dino were one of the Dragon and one of the Seven Angels of Origin, respectively. These could be explained.
And what about Xiao? !
Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more headache I get!
Anyway, this wasn't the first time she'd been surprised.
As the 'infiltration candidates' were finalized, everyone began to discuss the plan after the infiltration. After all, they couldn't just infiltrate the empire without any plan and kill anyone they met!
This is not called infiltration, it's called invasion!
In this case, it would be better to send Ali, Ruota, and Veludora? The combined power of the three natural disasters could destroy the empire. It's not as efficient as infiltration.
Then, when Rimuru and the others were discussing their next plan to go to the Empire.
at the same time.
Somewhere in the capital of the Eastern Empire.
Inside a mysterious yet slightly gorgeous room.
At this time, Yuuki Kaguraita, his companion, Cagalli, his many subordinates, and Misha who escaped from the battlefield gathered together as if they were discussing something.
As the only person present who escaped from the battlefield, Misha reported to Kaguraita Yuuki how the 'Imperial Army' was completely annihilated by the Demon Federation and suffered a complete defeat, as well as everything he saw and heard on the battlefield.
After listening to Misha's report in full, Yuuki Kaguraita, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
That wasn't all. Even the failure of his plan to secretly rescue Laplace and the others was reported.
"Sure enough, there really isn't any good news at all."
Yuuki Kagura scratched his head, his sunny face full of distress.
"The only good news that can be considered is that the 'Mecha Corps' was completely wiped out, significantly weakening the Empire's strength."
Although Yuuki Kagurazaka was troubled, he still analyzed the situation very calmly.
But after finishing the analysis, he collapsed on the sofa with a look of dejection.
"But... this is too unlucky!"
"Is my luck so bad?"
At least we should have rescued Laplace and the others, but still..., we failed!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Cagalli's beautiful eyes dimmed after hearing that the plan to rescue Laplace and others had failed.
"Then Boss, what are we going to do now?! Still launching a coup?"
Looking at Yuuki Kagura who seemed to be giving up, and Cagalli who was almost emo, Misha asked with a somewhat uncertain tone.
"I don't know what to do anymore."
After hearing the word "coup", Yuuki Kagura slowly climbed up from the sofa and said in a somewhat dazed tone.
There was no way. Although the 'Mecha Legion' and the 'Warcraft Legion' had all been dispatched, and he was in control of the 'Mixed Legion', he still had no confidence at all!
You should know that the strongest fighting force of the 'Imperial Capital', that is, the upper knights of the 'Emperor's Guard Knights', are all active in the 'Imperial Capital'.
No! Although one or two were indeed sent out, but... the remaining guys are still very strong!
Without Laplace, Tia and the others, he really had no confidence at all!
Although I'm not sure, it's not very certain.
"Then...or...give up and wait for the next opportunity."
Misha said to 'Kaguraita Yuuki' as if she was making a suggestion.
Although it is a pity, there is no other solution.
Although their own boss controls the 'Mixed Legion', relying on these alone to fight against the single-digit knights of the 'Emperor's Guard Knights' would be tantamount to seeking death.
Before, perhaps Misha still thought that she and others could win by relying on the number of soldiers, but after witnessing the war between the Empire and the 'Demon Federation', she realized the ridiculousness of her idea.
The principle of "a swarm of ants can kill an elephant" does not apply in this world. For a "super strong individual", numbers have no meaning at all.
A single skill wiped out an army of tens of thousands. This scene completely overturned and reshaped Misha's worldview of the past twenty years.
The difference is too big!
"Giving up? It is indeed an option."
When hearing Misha's suggestion, Yuuki Kagurazaka muttered to himself.
It is obvious that the current situation is not favorable to him, and if he launches a coup, the possibility of success is not great.
But should I just give up like this? This is such a rare opportunity.
Now is undoubtedly a good opportunity to launch a coup.
Otherwise, once the 'Empire' withdraws its troops, the 'Warcraft Legion' returns, and the 'Mecha Legion' is rebuilt and enters a state of recuperation, his plan will be completely stillborn.
Once the 'empire' enters a state of recuperation, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would take hundreds of years at the shortest and thousands of years at the longest!
You know, he may not be able to live for so many years!
In other words, it is almost impossible!
Moreover, methods that can prolong life or lead to reincarnation are rare in the world. If you have time to look for them, it would be easier to just launch a coup.
Although, the probability of the coup failing is also very high!
Damn it! There is nothing that can make me feel at ease!!!
At this moment, Misha seemed to have discovered something and said something in confusion.
"By the way. Where's that Damrada guy? Did he go out on a mission?"
After hearing Misha's reminder, everyone present finally realized that Damrada, one of the "Big Three", was not there.
This is a matter of concern.
You have to know that Damrada, one of the three giants under Yuuki, is one of the most important figures in this plan.
But why wasn't he present when the boss held the meeting?!
Everyone subconsciously became suspicious.
"Damrada? If my hunch is correct, Damrada must have betrayed me. Although there is no solid evidence, judging from his behavior these days, there is a high probability that he has betrayed me!"
While everyone was discussing this, Kaguraita Yuuki touched his chin and spoke as if analyzing or confirming something.
However, after hearing the analysis of their big boss Yuuki Kaguraita, everyone's first reaction was horror, and then disbelief.
You have to know that Damrada is one of the 'Big Three' under Yuuki and is deeply trusted by his companions. The probability of his betrayal is infinitely close to zero!
However, since it was said by their boss, Yuuki Kaguraita, they had to take it to heart.
But, Damrada's betrayal!? Is that really possible?
