Chapter 367 Princess Alice's Troubles
"Flying Dragon Slash!"
In the dungeon, Broly and his group had already started fighting monsters, but things weren't quite what they expected. Princess Alice, with just her sword and her own strength, easily dispatched any dungeon monsters that dared to block her way.
"Wow, Alice, she's actually that strong?"
Huihui's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous. But it wasn't surprising; Alice had always given her the impression of a weak, delicate princess.
"Didn't Claire tell you that Alice has single-handedly defeated dragons?"
Darkness was somewhat puzzled as to what she was surprised about.
"I thought she was just bragging to her little princess and trying to make her look good."
Huihui's lips twitched as she spoke.
"Boasting and embellishing your image won't be enough to withstand the Demon King's army's frontal assault in the past. Alright, let's not let Alice steal the spotlight. Let's go!"
As Darkness spoke, she excitedly met the swarm of earth dragon lizards that had rushed towards her after hearing the commotion. She fearlessly used her taunt and, as always, risked her life to gang up on them, finding pleasure in the pain caused by the earth dragon lizards' frenzied attacks.
"Ah, please give me more, even more force, to this violent impact on my body!"
The dialogue was somewhat terrible, and the Crimson Demon Clan's genius girl stared with a dark expression at the bizarre scene of someone unleashing unparalleled sword energy while simultaneously suffering the most severe torture.
"Can I use Explosion to blast her away?"
Huihui unconsciously took out her magic wand. Princess Alice was alright, but Darkness was simply embarrassing for their wives.
"Wiz said this dungeon is an important place for her to obtain materials, so you'd better not do it, Megumin."
Broly reached out to stop her.
"What do we do now? I only know explosion magic, not any other magic, so I can't steal monster kill experience from these two guys at all."
Huihui started complaining.
"Don't worry, you still have me."
Broly patted his chest and disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, some of the earth dragons suddenly collapsed and began to convulse.
Broly grabbed them by their tails and dragged them back from the gap between the two battle groups.
"Alright, you can deal with these monsters now."
After placing the powerless Earth Dragon Lizard in front of Megumin, Broly handed her a monster material gathering dagger that Wiz had given him and said...
"These lizards still seem conscious, not like you knocked them unconscious. How did you do that?"
Huihui began to tend to the fallen earth dragon lizard. Observing the earth dragon lizard's condition, she couldn't help but ask.
"The 'Paradise' finger technique is the one you experienced last night, right? It's a variation of that finger technique."
Every living being has a flow of energy within its body when it moves.
I simply channeled my own energy into these earth dragon lizards, cutting off the flow of energy within them as they moved.
"As long as their energy cannot break through the solidified energy I injected into their bodies, they will remain like this, unable to move even if they want to."
Broly explained.
In Merard's hands, the Bliss Finger technique originated from the assassination fist technique "Finger Acupoint Fist," but in Broly's hands, the Bliss Finger has a sense of returning to its original simplicity.
Of course, Broly also incorporated his own understanding of ki, turning it into an acupressure technique that temporarily interrupts the body's central nervous system, thus disrupting the body's control.
Although Broly didn't know the acupoints of the earth dragon lizard, he could simply try and feel the flow of energy within these monsters, then use his finger techniques to press on certain points and inject his own energy to cut off the flow of energy within the creatures.
This wasn't too difficult for Broly.
"That sounds so cool, what's this move called again?"
Huihui killed a ground dragon lizard with a dagger, and raised her blood-stained face to ask.
"Sunflower Acupuncture Technique?"
Broly subconsciously uttered the noun that came to mind.
"Huh, what's that?"
Huihui didn't understand the joke.
"Uh, actually, this is just a name that suddenly came to my mind, and before this, I didn't know what this move should be called."
Broly answered truthfully.
This move, after all, is merely a byproduct of the Blissful Finger technique.
A creature that can be touched by a finger and thus become unable to move.
Bro can usually do this using his small fists.
There's little difference between knocking someone unconscious with a fist and numbing them with skillful finger techniques.
If Broly had to pinpoint a difference, the only one he could think of was freshness.
Those dangerous species that are knocked unconscious by punches may have bruises where they were hit, which can affect their texture and taste.
The animals that are brought back for slaughter by being touched and numb can fully ensure the integrity of the ingredients.
However, its current use in power leveling has had a different effect.
In this world, when professional players are leveling up by fighting monsters, they need to consider both damage output and crowd control when forming a team.
But the main thing to look at is the damage output against monsters.
Broly isn't harming the Earth Dragon Lizard right now; he's just using finger techniques to control it.
This can significantly increase the kill experience that Huihui can gain after killing the Earth Dragon Lizard.
"Then, how about we call it 'The Immovable Finger, the Demon Created for Megumin'?"
Huihui, with her own agenda, offered Broly her own excellent advice.
Broly: "..."
He had already figured out this move in the previous world, so how could it be related to Huihui?
"Huihui, be an honest and good child!"
Broly began to persuade him.
"Ah, I don't care, anyway, this finger technique was created just for me!"
If this weren't in an underground city, and if Megumin didn't have the blood of the earth dragon lizard on her, this might just be a girl trying to win a boy's affection.
"Broly, help me! I can't take it anymore, these earth dragons are hitting me too hard!"
Just then, Darkness sent out a distress call for help. Her clothes were already tattered from the onslaught and biting of the earth dragon lizards. Although her face was still flushed and excited, she knew her limits.
No matter what, the earth dragon lizard is a high-level monster, and Darkness had been taught a lesson before, so she wouldn't put herself in too much danger and make those around her worry.
"I am coming."
The finger-writing naming process was temporarily interrupted, and Broly ran over to help.
After a set of finger techniques, one after another, the earth dragon lizards fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
The monster material gathering dagger is extremely sharp, reaping the lives of immobilized earth dragon lizards.
By the time the seventh earth dragon lizard was harvested, Princess Alice's battle had ended.
Her white dress was stained with blood and dust. The young princess walked over and looked at Huihui, who was squatting in front of the earth dragon lizard, with some curiosity.
"Sister Huihui, are you trying to snag a bargain?"
"It's not like I got a bargain!"
Huihui immediately retorted.
"Uh, if this isn't a bargain, then what is it?"
Princess Alice kept an eye on things here even during the battle.
She had clearly seen what had just happened.
These monsters were clearly controlled by Darkness and defeated by Broly.
Thinking this way, Princess Alice just said it casually.
Then, she saw the blushing, genius Crimson Demon girl begin to offer some rebuttals.
What do you mean by husband and wife being one? The monsters Broly defeats are also monsters she defeats.
Such words.
"When I encounter difficulties or troubles, it's only natural that I rely on Broly. As his wife, I shouldn't be ashamed of it, but rather proud of his abilities!"
Huihui became more and more confident as she spoke.
"Being a kept man isn't the same as being a kept man. It's my way of expressing trust and dependence on him. It's our way of flirting. You wouldn't understand."
Besides, if I really took action, I could wipe out this group of earth dragon lizards in an instant, without having to go through the trouble of fighting with a sword like you did..."
Princess Alice was completely fooled by the Red Demon girl's smooth talk, which was like a sow pulling one tantrum after another.
"Sister Huihui, I also have some worries. Can I rely on you guys for a while?"
A flawless version after careful inspection!
Princess Alice blushed slightly, but she still managed to ask the question.
"Since you're calling me Sister Huihui, feel free to tell me what's bothering you."
Huihui waved her hand, already somewhat lost in the admiring and trusting gaze of the little princess.
"Here's what happened..."
Princess Alice began to tell her troubles.
When the Demon King's army was still around, the Kingdom of Belzegu was trusted by the other two kingdoms and received continuous support because of its strong military and willingness to take on responsibilities.
However, after the Demon King's army was defeated, the situation changed. The Belzeg Kingdom, which was originally trusted because of its strength, was now feared by the Kingdom of Elord and the Kingdom of Bradru.
Especially now that most of the original Demon King's territory has been divided up by the three kingdoms, friction between the three kingdoms is intensifying.
"My father and brother are troubled by the strained diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Elorod, and as a princess, I want to help but don't know how..."
The affairs of national diplomacy have nothing to do with Princess Alice. She is only troubled by the problems of her father and brother. She is a very considerate girl.
"Well……"
Huihui was a little confused after hearing this. How could such a diplomatic matter at the national level have anything to do with an ordinary civilian like her?
Or is it something she can help solve? No, no, she can't solve it, but there's Broly. But how will Broly solve it?
Megumin looked at the Saiyan boy, while Broly didn't react much.
"Broly, what's your opinion?"
Huihui asked.
"Uh, what's my opinion?"
Broly countered with a question.
How much political insight could a Saiyan from Planet Vampa possibly have?
"The Kingdom of Elord is somewhat wary of our nation's excessively strong military. Hasn't your father, His Majesty King Belzegu, considered reducing the size of the army?"
Darkness thought for a moment and then asked.
"I have thought about it, but it's not something that can be done easily."
Soldiers who can join the front lines of a military nation like the Kingdom of Belzegu, which once faced the Demon King's army head-on, are mostly professionals of level 30 or above.
In the military, there is military discipline to restrain them, but if the army is disarmed and there is no proper way to resettle them, the disbanded armed forces may cause turmoil in the Kingdom of Belzegu.
"I learned about these things from my brother, and he and my father are trying to persuade the Kingdom of Elord and the Kingdom of Bradrue on this front, but things don't seem to be going very well."
Princess Alice said.
"Why bother with those two countries? Just maintain your strong military power. Do you think they, being weaker than the Kingdom of Belzegu, would dare to attack the Kingdom of Belzegu?"
Huihui spoke up, her idea was simple: I can become strong on my own.
"Huihui, have you considered that maintaining a strong military requires money?"
Darkness was speechless for a moment, then asked the question.
"Yes, and most of this military expenditure was originally provided by the Kingdom of Elorod."
The Kingdom of Elord is not militarily strong, but it is located in the rear of the two kingdoms. During the time when the Demon King's army existed, it was a safe zone. Many wealthy people from human society settled there, and it was also a major gambling country, with the greatest wealth among the three kingdoms.
Previously, it was the Kingdom of Elord that used its vast financial resources to fund the military operations of the Kingdom of Belzegu in its direct confrontation with the Demon King's army.
Once things fall apart, the Belzegu Kingdom's own financial strength will not be enough to support the country's enormous military expenditures.
Of course, if things escalate to that point, the Kingdom of Belzegu will only have two options: either risk national turmoil by disbanding a large number of troops, or march south and use foreign wars to solve the problem of insufficient military funds.
Because the latter situation is possible, the Kingdom of Elord has only reduced its annual funding and does not dare to completely cut off the supply of money, for fear of pushing the Kingdom of Belzegu to the brink.
At the same time, the Kingdom of Elord also won over the Kingdom of Bradru. The Kingdom of Bradru, a country that produces many dragon riders and also learned from the Belzegu royal family to integrate the bloodline of heroes into its own royal bloodline, is the second strongest military power in the world.
Perhaps their military strength is still somewhat inferior to that of the Belze Kingdom, but the gap is nowhere near as large as it was when the Demon King's army still existed, when the gap between the Demon King's army and humanity was so significant.
Right now, the three kingdoms are testing each other, using political means to push each other to their limits.
However, the King and Crown Prince of Belzegu, the father and brother of Princess Alice, were more like warriors than politicians, and were completely at a disadvantage in areas where they were not good at it.
"So, how can I help?"
Broly was getting a headache from listening to this, so he decided to pass the buck on the problem of solving Princess Alice's troubles back to Megumin or Darkness.
"We can't exactly send Broly to beat up the kings of the other two kingdoms and then verbally threaten them, can we?"
As Darkness joked, she noticed that Princess Alice and Megumin beside her were both deep in thought.
"Hey, hey, hey, this will cause huge political problems, and Broly can't stay in this world forever!"
Darkness quickly said that it was this sentence that made the other two abandon this seemingly simple and effective solution.
If Broly could truly remain in this world and provide absolute military threat support, then that would indeed be an effective method.
Unfortunately, it's not possible.
As for directly eliminating the people of the other two kingdoms, Broly could do it and didn't really mind doing so.
But none of those present, whether it was Darkness, Megumin, or Princess Alice, were so heartless as to make the decision to take away so many lives; in fact, they had never even considered it.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought my troubles to you. Don't think about it anymore. I believe my father and brother will handle everything. Let's continue our battle against the monsters!"
Princess Alice said this and took the lead on her way to the next area of the dungeon.
"Hey, wait a minute, I'm the one getting leveled up today, don't steal all the monsters from me!"
Huihui quickly shouted, ending the life of the last earth dragon lizard.
"Let's follow."
Broly gathered up the enchanted materials from the group of earth dragon lizards, called to Darkness, and followed.
At noon, the group returned home laden with their loot.
Huihui leveled up five times, Princess Alice vented her frustration, Darkness got a good beating, and all the girls were satisfied.
"This is truly a bumper harvest!"
Even the lich lady who came to pick them up was all smiles when she saw the abundance of monster materials, feeling that she wouldn't need to come to this dungeon to collect monster materials for the next six months.
Of course, even if you manage to get here, it might not be there anymore, except for that special moss that has an excellent blood-activating effect.
Nearly 80 percent of the entire dungeon has been cleared out. Although the monsters were not completely wiped out, it will probably take a long time for the dungeon to recover its original ecosystem.
"Lunch is ready, but Aqua hasn't returned yet."
Youyou prepared lunch, and Aqua didn't return until the afternoon.
"This is my home in this lower realm. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?!"
She abducted six goddesses and nine angel ladies from heaven.
