Corruption in the Dungeon 141

Chapter 141 – Episode 141 the Princess Trapped in Fate, the Iliad Princess (5)

“Uh, how long do I have to stay like this?”

Asked Europa, sitting on all fours next to me on a leash.

“Isn’t it a look that suits the devil’s pet lizard?”
“Yeah, but…….”
“Hand.”

I reached out.

“You you……. I’m like a puppy…….”

Contrary to the gnashing voice, however, he placed his hand on top of mine.

“Cha, don’t get me wrong. Because this is unavoidable.”
“Good job.”
“Oops!”

He stroked Europa’s hair and left a word of praise.
Appropriate praise can make even a dragon move.

“Uh, don’t say that…….”

Europa, who was twitching her body, averted my eyes as she shuddered.

‘Enough.’

If you’ve been trained to this extent, I wouldn’t think of acting arrogantly in the future.

It was then.

“Demon King, I got a call from the Expeditionary Force.”

Rebecca entered her office.
When she saw Europa sitting on all fours next to me, she stepped back in surprise.

“You don’t have to be afraid. A dragon that has already been tamed.”
“As expected, you are the Demon King.”
“Tame! Who is tamed by whom!”
“Are you denying it? I can show you if you want.”

As he flicked his middle and ring fingers, Europa lowered his head in amazement.
He smelled the scent of a female dragon.
I got excited just by flicking my fingers.

Like a lizard in heat.

“What contact?”
“This is news that we have occupied all the main bases of the empire that the Demon King has marked.”
“Good.”

Certainly, the information sent by Princess Iliad was very helpful.
By occupying key strongholds that the enemy was not prepared for, it was possible to occupy a more advantageous position.
The future battle should be able to continue with the strength of the girls who have gone out now.
That is until the moment when the Holy Church is drawing attention.

What am I going to do
It was simple.

– Please kill the emperor.

The request that Princess Iliad gave me while handing over this information.
It was my turn to fulfill my promise to kill the Emperor.
When the enemy’s core force is dealing with the Holy Church and the Demon King’s army, it is to surprise the capital of the empire riding the dragon Europa.

‘It won’t be easy.’

It was clear that he was firmly armed with all sorts of alchemy and magic.
Even the emperor wouldn’t be unaware of the strategy to attack the imperial palace.

‘Since the Demon King hasn’t appeared on the battlefield so far, I have no choice but to be suspicious.’

“Looks like the war situation isn’t as bad as I thought.”
“It seems Seiji is attacking better than I thought.”

Former warrior Sage.
Amy, who was a former candidate for a saint, but is now a saint of the Demon Lord’s Church.
High Elf Lucy.
Rayleigh, a wizard who became a lich.
Vampire Lord Frey.
Dragon Demon Frederique.

Looking at the members alone, this was rather a party of warriors who raised an army to punish the demon king.

‘A party of warriors who have been corrupted by the demon king is fun.’

I rubbed Europa’s chin with my hand and laughed.
Even though she was acting like a puppy, she now gave off a female scent and did not reject my touch.
Rather, he actively rubbed his face against my hand.
Then, naturally, he thrust the horn into my hand. It was spectacle that his expression loosened up every time he tapped him with the back of his hand.

“Heh heh.”

Is this a dragon?
This thought came to me.

“Europe.”
“Hey. Why?”

Europa, who was enjoying my hand here and there, looked up at me with relaxed eyes.

“I will ask you one thing. Is it possible to fly to the imperial capital?”
“Of course. What do you see me as? Hmmm.”

If I said that it was a horned lizard panting for pleasure, I’d probably go mad, so I said it appropriately.

“If possible, how soon can I arrive?”
“If we leave here now, we can arrive in less than eight hours.”
“It’s fast.”
“Because it’s a dragon.”

I just wanted to hear that I could go anytime.
That it is

‘Because it means that I can create a situation where the enemy can get caught off guard at any time.’

Then there is no need to wait in the capital.

“Europe.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t you want to leave the castle?”
“Of course. But you won’t let me go Because I have this.”

Europa, who had changed into female mode, pointed to the leash around her neck and said.

“Okay. You will never be alone. But wouldn’t it be okay if there was a master?”
“…… Uh?”
“I should go for a walk to the empire together.”
“You want to go to the empire?”
“Okay.”

Need to mess with their eyes and ears.

***

Capital of the Empire, Empire.

“The princess?”

The Iliad turned her head to the voice of her only ally, the alchemist Lord Lopez.

“What are you doing?”
“Recently, the number of times I look out the window has increased dramatically. Are you worried about the war?”
“… It’s similar.”

A war waged by the Empire on both sides.
The Holy Church Nation and the Demon King’s Army.

It was a well-known fact in the Empire that the Emperor of the Empire was indignant at the invasion of the Holy Church.

-The lunatics who believe in the existence of only a façade dare to strike preemptively!

The indignant emperor ordered certain revenge and precise strikes against the Holy Church.
And until the ensuing invasion of the Demon King’s army.

From the point of view of the empire, it was very annoying.

Even so, the atmosphere in the empire was calm.
No one thought that the Empire would lose.
Rather, most of the reviews say that the two foolish countries arrogantly pointed their swords at the hegemonic empire.
No matter how much she passed on information for the demon king, alchemy and the homunculus army that defeated the foundation of the empire were not opponents that could easily collapse.

“I am very worried.”
“Don’t worry. Princess. The sons of the empire will return victorious.”

Lopez patted him on the chest, convinced.
The Iliad saw him.
A man who was suggested by the Demon King. He’s a foolish man who doesn’t even know he’s being used by the demon lord.
And.

‘A stupid man who has useless love for me.’

Princess Iliad knew why he was loyal to her.
Can’t know
How can I not know how to tea like that?
But she wasn’t interested in Lopez.

That he was the most handsome man in the empire.
The fact that the future will be the most brilliant among the Fujikiji.
It didn’t matter to her that both her abilities and her family were strong.

Right now, Princess Iliad’s top priority is to survive her emperor.
Because that was all.

-Your sacrifice will revive the empire.

The voice of her emperor, which she had heard from birth, seemed to ring in her ears.
I was scared before.
She trembled with her anxiety that sooner or later her own body would be taken away.
But it’s fine now.
Because the demon king promised to kill the emperor who was seeking her life.
Even though it was clearly the words of the Demon King, who would destroy the continent.

– I will kill the emperor as you said. The price is the Iliad, the entire empire including you.

It was trustworthy and sturdy.
Mind was set
It was to sacrifice everything in the empire for her own comfort.

‘When will the Demon King come?’

A subtle smile appeared on Iliad’s lips as he looked in the direction of the Demon King’s Army.

***

The 7th Emperor of the Empire, Sieghard von Imperion.
Among all previous emperors, he was more talented in alchemy than anyone else.
By his reign, imperial alchemy had reached its peak.
The alchemists followed the emperor to create artificial humans, and the empire literally had the largest territory ever.

During his 150-year reign, the empire developed endlessly.

However, the emperor, a genius of alchemy, glared at the messenger in front of him in a fit of rage.

“Dorita Fortress has been captured by the demon king’s army.”
“The Rebriter Mana Refinery has been captured by the Demon King’s Army.”

Bad news piled up one after another.
The messengers brought the news of the defeat one after another.

“Are you saying that the main base has been captured again?”
“Yes, yes.”
“What was the commander doing?”
“We are unable to respond to enemy movements. We were moving as if we knew our tactics.”

At the messenger’s words, the emperor gritted his teeth.

It’s a strange thing.

‘He knows us too well.’

They weren’t even guys with a history of fighting the Empire.
Did the Allies of different races enter their sphere of influence?
They also fought with a defensive focus, so there was no way they could know their own defense tactics and rotation tactics.

And there.

‘How are we attacking our main bases with such tight alignment?’

Dorita Fortress was a key fortress in the western province of Dorita that could accurately control the main alleys as well as the mana stone mine, the core of alchemy.
On the surface, however, Mekson Castle, the transportation hub of the Dorita region, used to look much more important.
It was a transportation hub that could lead to wide plains and all directions.
Aiming at Fort Dorita without attacking Mekson Castle.

‘Inside information leaked.’

It was a structure that if you ate Fort Dorita, the road to the capital would open without having to attack Mekson Castle.
And even the Rebritor Mana Refinery was captured.
He knew exactly what an alchemist’s weakness was.
Compared to wizards, it takes an abnormally large amount of mana.

“Is there a spy inside?”

Who dares?
The emperor tapped the handle of his chair.

The most likely candidate, too.

“Princess Iliad.”

It was his artificially created daughter, Princess Iliad.

“Could you be like that?”

Cold anger settled in the emperor’s red eyes.
If she did anything to her, she was unforgivable.
However, the chances of that happening were close to zero.
Of course, since the birth of an android, it has been processed like that.
The premise that they could not betray the empire was laid deep in their consciousness.
Okay.
It had to be.

“Because Jim couldn’t have failed.”

There might be other candidates.

‘But what if the Iliad princess really betrayed me?’

What if she, who has the best brain among artificial humans born with his genes, had no such premise in her consciousness?

‘If that happens, it’s a failure.’

The only failure was disposal.

“I was going to wait for my brain to ripen……. I can’t do that.”

Emperor Sieghart’s eyes shone.

“I need to speed up the body transfer.”

It would be better to reduce the possibility if possible.
