Chapter 540
“Every one of you set out to Passage City! We will gather in Turtlelake Forest,” Lawrend ordered to the rest of the army.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The ten lightning Arch Mages saluted him and left swiftly with their battalions. Soon, the only ones left were Lawrend, Ember, the three envoys, and the scouting party.
Lawrend pulled out a flute and played it.
*Fwoosh* *Fwoosh*
Powerful wing flaps sounded from the north. Clova came flying swiftly.
She landed in front of Lawrend with a powerful thud. The scouting party stared at her with awe. They had heard about this giant white bird before.
Legend stated that she was protecting the Undrasil Monster Forest. If someone tried to massacre all of the monsters inside, she would step up and kill all of the transgressors.
“Master, what are your orders?” Clova asked calmly.
Her eyes briefly glanced at the scouting party, causing their bodies to tremble. She was a powerful bird equivalent to a Grand Mage. Her cold gaze was soul-shaking to the weaker mages.
“These twenty will ride your back. Escort them to Sunset City, the city west of Passage City,” Lawrend replied.
“I understand.”
Clova nodded her head and turned to the scouting party. She analyzed them and understood what kind of mages they were with her sharp eyes.
“This is Clova. She’s my mount and also the Guardian of the Undrasil Monster Forest. With her speed, the twenty of you shouldn’t face any difficulty reaching Sunset City in two days,” Lawrend introduced to the scouting party.
“Your Majesty, we will do our best to complete our mission,” a fire mage said. He stood up and bowed to Lawrend respectfully.
The other Arch Mages followed suit and showed him their respect and loyalty.
“Good. Send me messages through the artifact.”
With that, Lawrend bid farewell to them. They rode on Clova’s back and soon disappeared out to the horizon.
“Let’s go,” Lawrend said and flew up.
Ember and the three envoys followed after him. Their speed was very fast. It would be hard for the people on the ground to see what passed over their heads.
It was silent throughout their trip. Lawrend enjoyed the nighttime scenery as he flew.
“Master.”
Ember flew to his side.
“What is it?”
“Can I… hold your hand?” Ember asked bashfully.
The three envoys behind them looked away and pretended not to see anything.
“Sure. Why ask?” Lawrend replied with a smile.
He took Ember’s hand, and they held hands throughout the night. They flew for several hours.
Ember usually never asked for something like this. She was ecstatic, feeling his warmth in the coldness. After his domination, she couldn’t stop thinking about him in her idle times.
They arrived at Brightwood City. It was located in the middle of the Undrasil Capital City and Star Tail City. The crowd in the city was bustling with life as the sun rose from the east.
“Let’s stay here for now,” Lawrend said.
…
They left after taking a short break in Brightwood City. They couldn’t stay for longer because the attack on the Blumin Empire should be done quickly to prevent them from amassing their power in the two targeted cities.
The journey this time was quite short. They entered Star Tail City and left soon after. Lawrend and his group entered one city after another. Sometimes they would stop to look at some beautiful sceneries.
The calmness of the trip was disconnected from the purpose of the trip. It was as if they were taking a stroll.
“We’re finally here,” Lawrend said.
They arrived in Passage City. Birds fluttered across the sky as they landed outside of it.
“Let’s find an inn and wait for the others.”
The five of them booked an inn and waited. For the next several days, members of the army would arrive in large groups. Because there were too many of them, they created a small encampment in the Turtlelake Forest south of the city.
“Master…”
Ember’s lewd voice resounded in the room. She was sitting on Lawrend’s lap as he nibbled on her ear.
“See, it’s not bad?” Lawrend teased.
“M-Master, why are you teaching me this stuff?”
“Of course. You need to learn how to service me in the future,” Lawrend replied.
He was very patient with her as he taught her various lewd things. She was too innocent and pure to know them by herself. His maids also weren’t here to teach her, so it was up to him.
“Ahh~”
Ember leaned on Lawrend’s chest powerlessly. She was entirely dominated by his aura and skills.
Lawrend stopped after a dozen minutes.
“Okay. Let’s go check on the encampment,” Lawrend said.
Ember got up from his lap and fell to the bed face first. She couldn’t help but rub her legs together. The whole thing made her quite wet.
Based on Lawrend’s expression, it didn’t seem like he just corrupted an innocent princess like Ember. He stood up and tidied his clothes. He needed to look his best in front of the army.
“Follow me.”
Lawrend left the room without waiting for Ember’s reply. She quickly stood up and ran after him. She was dripping wet, but she was able to control her desires through her sheer will.
A rumor had appeared in the city lately. The sudden appearance of the encampment scared the citizens inside because of what could happen next. People said that the empire was about to conquer them.
The mages of the army didn’t dare to respond to this rumor. It could reveal their preemptive attack on the empire.
The three envoys were already on the scene when Lawrend and Ember arrived. They slightly bowed to him respectfully.
“Where’s my seat?” Lawrend asked.
Otor glanced at the other two, and a luxurious chair appeared in his hands. He placed it down in front of the army.
Ember did her job and helped him sit down by placing a soft pillow on the seat. Lawrend sat on it as if it was the normal thing to do.
