Chapter 231 Delia Brand Thousand Layer Cake
Chapter 231 Delia Brand Thousand Layer Cake
"Master!"
Houtu flew over, "You ordered us to guard this place, but someone forcefully broke in."
"And then you killed them?" Chen Yu lightly tapped Houtu's head with her fingertip, "Well done!"
"It wasn't us."
Houtu pointed to Delia's female attendants, indicating that they were the ones who took action.
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said, "When you act alone in the future, be more proactive when you see enemies. Don't trouble others, understand?"
Houtu supported the sword hanging from her waist with one hand and clenched her fist against her chest with the other, solemnly answering, "I will obey the master's command!"
"Uh, just remember, there's no need to be so serious."
Actually, Chen Yu really wanted to ask Houtu where she learned this strange gesture of salutation.
But thinking about it, it wasn't necessary.
Since she liked it, let her be.
"Tap, tap, tap—"
A series of orderly footsteps approached, accompanied by the crisp sound of armor colliding.
"Are they your people?" Chen Yu asked Delia.
"They are enemies!" Delia replied.
"Hmm!" Chen Yu nodded and released a few gluttonous spirits.
Dark green stems emerged and gently pulled open the gate.
Then, giant man-eating flowers bloomed and rushed out of the room violently, surging up the steps outside the door.
After a few exclamations, the world returned to calm.
[Killed Level 190 Elite Warrior of Heradic, experience points +3800+380]
[Killed Level 200 Elite Martial Warrior of Snowy Giant City, experience points +4000+400]
...
Delia curiously observed the gluttonous spirits, studying their fighting style.
"By the way, little Delia, how many enemies did you bring back this time?" Chen Yu asked eagerly.
With Delia's doubts resolved, the only thing left was the rewards from the instance.
"Master, there are nearly 1000 elite warriors who followed me back to the city, divided between Snowy Giant City and Heradic."
"The rest will return in about 5 days," Delia replied.
"Only 1000?" Chen Yu was a little disappointed.
The army attacking Demon Dragon City should be under the control of the Queen, Delia's opposition, which means they are the monsters he can farm.
Based on the previous instances, there should be at least ten to twenty thousand.
Unexpectedly, Delia's performance was not satisfactory, only bringing back a thousand.
He only had a total of 5 days to stay in this instance.
He completed the instance task in just one day, while Delia took two days, leaving only three days.
By the time the army returned to the city, he would have already been kicked out of the instance.
"If you want those rebels to return to the city earlier, I have a way," Delia said very eagerly.
"Furthermore, I can provide you with more, higher-quality enemy pawns."
"Oh? Tell me more!" Chen Yu's eyes lit up.
"To make the Queen feel uneasy," Princess Delia smiled faintly with her eyes narrowed.
Her fiery red lips pursed, outlining a graceful curve.
Although Chen Yu didn't particularly like exotic styles, he found Delia exceptionally cute at this moment.
In fact, he even lowered his head and kissed her tender lips.
Delia also raised her head with great joy, tiptoed, and kissed Chen Yu's cheek.
A few seconds later, Chen Yu reacted, "What... is going on?"
Coming to this world, besides his family when he was young, this was the first time he had kissed a human.
A human with mature values, a clear understanding of the world, and a clear sense of self-will.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Delia asked in confusion.
Her facial expressions and actions showed no abnormalities.
"Oh, it's nothing." Chen Yu shook his head.
Suddenly, he noticed the little Elves floating in the air beside him.
The noble Primordial Elves have always looked down upon lower beings.
What's strange is that they didn't show any dissatisfaction when they saw this scene.
Even the most aggressive Xiao Miao and the great Yin-Yang Master Xiao Guang showed no signs of wanting to criticize.
"Sir, should I continue?" Delia asked in confusion.
"Well, go ahead." Chen Yu said.
"Yes, sir," Delia said, "Actually, I could have directly killed the queen and taken control of the entire kingdom, but I didn't do that."
"I deliberately had my subordinates act at this time to create an information gap and make the queen feel uneasy."
"She doesn't know how many pawns I have and their quality."
"In the situation where she loses a large number of pawns, she can only mobilize additional pawns to test my strength."
"During my time in Demon Dragon City, I didn't show too much power, which would give her and the Snowfield City behind her the wrong information."
Namely: they underestimated my power, but not excessively."
"I had my subordinates act with my father's token, also creating an illusion that made them think my father was on my side and we were working together."
"The actions in the royal city are my and my father's attempt to regain control of the kingdom, a last-ditch resistance."
"So they will dispatch some experts from Snowfield City to investigate the situation."
"I will devour them with the force of thunder, they will hesitate, and then send more forces, but not to the point of emptying the nest."
"After several repetitions, they still cannot obtain accurate information, and will believe that the forces behind me are powerful beyond imagination."
"Plus the battle with the Dark Demon Cult, where we lost many elites, they will lose the courage to empty the nest and instead switch to passive defense, while using various channels to investigate my information."
"In this way, while weakening the enemy, I also gained time to integrate the power of the kingdom."
"I and the Stuart Empire will inevitably start a war."
"If the other side takes a defensive attitude, I can set the battlefield outside the national border to minimize the loss of our pawns."
"This was my original plan."
"If you need to capture pawns in a short period of time, I can slightly change the plan and increase the threat to the queen's own life, controlling the extent of displaying our strength."
"This will directly attract a large number of experts from Snowfield City."
"At the same time, let the queen order the army to march faster and return to the royal city as soon as possible to protect her safety."
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Chen Yu applauded repeatedly, "Wonderful!"
The original Delia, colluding with the Dark Demon Cult was simply collusion, opposing the queen, and showcasing her political existence.
The whole process was as clean and clear as a blank sheet of paper.
But the transformed Delia, colluding with the Dark Demon Cult was only superficial, like a layer of skin on a multi-layered cake.
Beneath it lies endless means, like a large net, starting from the queen and enveloping the entire Snowfield City, even the entire Stuart Empire!
Several Primordial Elves were impressed without understanding, and they also applauded along with Chen Yu.
Only Xiao Guang and Xiao Kong seemed to be lost in thought.
Xiao Guang, in particular, looked at Delia with the eyes of discovering a new continent.
