From the Minotaur patrols surrounding the area, it’s clear that this sub-tribe is on alert against outsiders.
But Shami didn’t care about that, and once again dispatched the Slime Squad to attack this sub-tribe.
Soon, chaos ensued all around the sub-tribe.
That’s exactly what he wanted—chaos.
Looking at the Minotaur beside him, who had transformed from a Dragon Race Maiden, Shami patted her arm.
"Aren’t you wearing too much, Elze?"
Compared to other Minotaurs, Elze was wearing not only shorts but also a top, trying her best to cover her skin.
After transforming into a Minotaur, the skin others touch is not her own but a layer of skin transformed from the dragon scales covering her original skin.
However, even so, the Dragon Race Maiden still disliked being touched by strangers.
"Then later you take advantage of the chaos to blend in. Just communicate in the way we agreed upon."
Elze nodded, ready to run over.
"Stay safe, Elze. If there’s any danger to your life, run at any time, got it?"
Elze paused, touched, and looked at Shami.
"Aren’t you afraid I won’t come back if I run away?"
Shami shook his head confidently.
"Elze, I assure you, if you run away, you’ll never find another job with such great benefits."
As if he had spoken her mind, the purple-haired girl blinked shyly.
"You’ve transformed into an ordinary Minotaur, so your status in the tribe might be average. But you need to find a way to climb up, get close to the upper echelons of the Minotaur Tribe, infiltrate their ranks, and gather more useful intelligence."
Shami advised the purple-haired girl.
"Understood. I’ll be off then."
Shami called out to Elze again.
The Minotaur and human stared at each other for a moment.
Although Shami really wanted to give the purple-haired girl a hug and show her through actions that the Demon Lord was supporting her from behind,
but looking at the rugged face of the Minotaur, even knowing her true identity as a beautiful Dragon Race Maiden, Shami hesitated.
"Never mind... Remember, from now on, you are a needle inserted into the Minotaur Tribe by the demon clan, a needle that will play a decisive role at the most critical moment."
Elze was a bit disappointed, expecting a hug from Shami, but instead received verbal advice again.
However, this did not affect the Dragon Race Maiden’s state.
Taking advantage of the chaos on the plains, she successfully blended into the battlefield.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Before long, a thick cloud of dust rose not far away, and Minotaur Chief Tory arrived with the Minotaur Warriors to support.
Facing the numerous Minotaur Warriors, Shami frowned.
The one with the massive body should be the Minotaur Chief.
However, now was not the time to engage them.
Elze had already infiltrated, and he wanted to achieve the highest return with the least cost.
Shami issued a command, and under Slime’s lead, the Slime Squad quickly withdrew.
The clumsy Minotaurs were far less agile than the Slimes, and could only watch as the Slimes escaped.
Minotaur Chief Tory puffed angrily.
However, not without gain.
He saw clearly this time, although some details were indistinguishable against the backlight, but that was definitely a human silhouette.
The only human who could stand peacefully beside the Slime Leader was the new Demon Lord.
"What are you up to, new Demon Lord...?"
Tory was utterly perplexed.
On the battlefield, Elze discreetly punched herself a few times, not forcefully, but merely pretending, adding some noticeable injuries to appear more realistic.
She returned to the tribe along with a group of Minotaurs, with her identity still concealed.
Suddenly, a voice called her.
Elze nervously stopped and discovered a male Minotaur laughing and bumping her shoulder.
"Lita, good buddy! Why didn’t I see you yesterday? Charging alone up front, thought you were dead."
From Shami’s inquiry of the awakened Minotaur, it could be inferred that Lita was the name of the Minotaur Elze had transformed into.
Elze looked at the Minotaur beside her.
The familiar greeting suggested that this Minotaur was likely Lita’s friend.
"Ah, well, because..."
Elze began to think of an excuse.
"No need to explain. Surely you’re secretly doing that thing!"
The Minotaur smirked wickedly.
"Taking advantage of the chaos from the tribe being invaded, sneaking away.—Did you run to the southern sub-tribe and sneak into the grove with Kerry?"
Elze was silent for a while.
What, your home got invaded and you’re still thinking about doing that with another Minotaur?
"Be careful! Te’an is in our sub-tribe. If he finds out you were sneaking around with his wife, he’ll definitely challenge you to a duel!"
Elze was taken aback.
Wait, so it wasn’t pure love but cross-location Minotaur drama!
"But Te’an deserves it; dare to mess with my wife, you’re avenging me after all. Thanks, Lita, we’re definitely best buddies."
Eh, eh, eh?! This counts as revenge? Your wife cheated, shouldn’t you be sad?!
