Chapter 869: The Arrival of Lee and Alison 1
Upon hearing Minos’ words, Talia felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water on her burning body, feeling disappointed.
Unlike Ruth, this woman from the Miles family of the Gray Clouds Sect had already had many sexual experiences in her life.
Therefore, she had no problem getting into bed with a man she thought was compatible right after meeting him.
But although she was capable of doing that, she was not like Mirya, Viola, and Elena, women with whom Minos had relationships and who had the habit of sleeping with men constantly.
They did not do that when they were with him, but since they were just friends with no romantic feelings for each other, there was no kind of commitment from him to them or vice versa.
But in Talia’s case, she would not stop herself from getting into bed with a man right after meeting him, but she would not do such a thing constantly. She would even avoid doing so while she was getting to know her partner of the moment.
And since she was single at the moment and had liked the way Minos had treated her, she had become interested in getting to know this boyfriend of her sister’s.
She felt that this was a problem, as Ruth would probably not be happy about it. But perhaps that was what had made her so interested in Minos, to the point that her flower was practically dripping in anticipation for young Stuart’s pollen.
And hearing his refusal, she was feeling very disappointed, as if she had heard no in the worst way there was.
“We really can’t?”
Gulp!
‘This woman…’ Minos was impressed to realize this, shocked by how decisive she was about it. ‘Ah, it’s a pity I have something to do now…’
“Cough!”
“Uh, not impossible, but not here, not now, not with this array that is confusing my senses.”
“Sigh…”
“Then…”
“If you want, go to Dry City in two days, and we will get to know each other better,” Minos said as he saw the reaction of that beauty in his arms.
She then looked at him meaningfully as she felt the heat diminish somewhat. But then, she hugged him and moved towards his lips, intent on feeling a little more of Minos before he left.
“Mmmmmm~”
Sensing young Stuart’s clever tongue, Talia shivered from head to toe, feeling Minos’ grip, who did not feel the least bit bad about playing with her lower cheeks.
Then, after they parted their lips, Minos looked at her in interest and said. “Well, since that’s the case, I hope to hear more from you in two days.”
“All right…” She commented just before she saw him leaving with that serpent from earlier.
“Sigh…”
“What do I do now?” Talia wondered aloud, feeling quite confused at the moment. ‘If I have to wait two days, I don’t know if I’ll have the courage to go to Dry City…’
‘And now, what do I do in this state?’ She ran one of her hands over her little sister, frustrated that she had not had fun with that young man.
Her cheeks then reddened as her hand moved on its own, something she had not done in years.
…
Hours later…
After his unexpected encounter with Ruth’s older sister, Minos had made his way to the coast of the Black Plain without further trouble.
But upon arriving at the naval base of the Black Plain Army, this young man and that Feathered Serpent had encountered the darkness of night being lightened by the flames on the outskirts of that area.
Sound of cannons reverberated throughout the area, capable of frightening anyone who passed by without understanding what it was all about.
But for both sides on the Black Plain, this was normal for this region, where practically every week, there was at least one confrontation on the high seas.
The Counter-Revolutionary Army had set up a naval blockade in this area, but this was often ‘broken’ by the Black Plain Army fleet. On the other hand, from time to time, Minos’ enemies tried to destroy this place, something that could solve the problem once and for all.
But the Minos side was not weak, and the battles at this place had been going on for months!
So, the two sides at war in this region were already very used to the nights illuminated by burning ships, cannon explosions, and other attacks.
Not only the brightness caused by the battles had become the new normal for these people. The sounds of screams for help and desperate cries had become standard on this part of the Black Plain coast.
Because of this, when Minos had arrived at this place, he had not been surprised by any of this. On the contrary, he had only stopped to observe the chaos and understand a little better the current situation.
‘It looks like Lee and Alison’s group have already started crossing the naval blockade…’ So, he thought as he watched in the sea direction, where dozens of ships were firing cannonballs, and his army was escorting a large cargo.
On the other hand, the sizeable defensive barrier of that naval base was fully active, while, now and then, cannonballs crashed into it, creating strong winds in its surroundings.
Seeing all this, Minos felt that things were going as expected. And before deciding to do something, he observed a particular lightly lit area a few kilometers from that base. ‘It seems that the foundations of the future city we will have here are developing well…’
“Not bad.” He muttered, striving a little to see the details of it amidst the darkness and distance from where he was to that place.
“Well, time to act!”
“Yes, young Minos!” The serpent said promptly, just before flapping its wings and heading in the direction where the many warships were battling.
…
As Minos and that serpent moved through that area, the cargo ship of Lee’s group was being attacked from different angles, constantly swaying as if amid a sea storm.
And while the beasts in transport were making a lot of noise because of their fear of what was happening, many people there were using everything they had to protect the ship.
Some were using their defense techniques to form shields or barriers beside the main areas of the ship.
At the same time, others were trying with everything they had to remove the water that was entering through the many holes already in the hull of this ship.
But many were not original crew members of this ship, but people dressed in the uniform of the Black Plain Army.
These were the people that had joined Lee’s group to secure the passage of this cargo!
“Defend the sides!”
“Don’t weaken! We can’t let those beasts die!”
“Ahhhhhh!”
“Faster! Get that fucking water out faster, or we are screwed!”
Several shouts sounded in that area, where drops of water coming out of the sea due to the clashes of cannonballs with the water made it seem as if it was raining over there.
And while the smell of burning was diffusing through the air, the crew of that ship was trembling with fear in the cockpit, feeling that this mission of theirs had been the worst decision of their lives.
“Young master Lee, why is all this happening? Why are we passing through this place? Shouldn’t our destination be the Cromwell Kingdom?” The captain of that ship shouted in terror at that young soldier, still in shock over the sudden change that had happened a few minutes ago.
Lee then looked at him with an apologetic expression and smiled. “I’m sorry, Captain, but we are actually from the Black Plain…”
“This has always been our destiny!”
“What? No, it can’t be!”
“AHH!”
“That’s the end!”
“We’re all dead!”
“Noooo!”
Several crew members began to expose their despair, feeling that there was no future for those who sided with a regional enemy.
“Sorry, guys…”
“But look on the good side,” Lee said calmly.
“What good is in that??”
“You guys will survive and still have a chance to go to Dry City!” He said, confident that the army would not allow such a valuable cargo to be lost.
They would most likely survive and still have a chance in Dry City if it happened!
After hearing that, the people in that place continued to be afraid, until suddenly, they heard the snake-like hissing resounding in that area, taking their attention away from the sad moment they were in.
