Chapter 335: My Liege! - Part 1 (1/2)

”My Lord, we now complete control over the Hemforth City. All the important and strategic places have been secured. Now only the villages and towns located on the plain are remaining to be captured.” Pero arrived atop the City wall, where Alex was standing to inform him about completing their task.

”Before going to the villages and the towns, first secure that mountain range. Capture the heights there and station our men on it to keep an eye on the Armen Kingdom territory to the west and the Barbarians to the South.” The mountain range that Alex was talking about was situated on the southern direction of the Hemforth City. To the west of the City was the vast territory of the Armen Kingdom.

With the Mountain Range, the river the Hemforth City in his control, the Armen Kingdom will never be able to invade into his territory from there side. His territory, which is south of the river, will never have to worry about enemies coming from the west.

The only enemies would be the Barbarians and the Demon Beast living in the vast and dense forest of Caragan, which covers most of the Belmont Subcontinent's central region.

It houses the deadly, cruel Barbarians, Demon Beast, and the tallest mountain Peak on the Whole Subcontinent. It is also the starting point of many rivers flowing on the Belmont Subcontinent. The river next to Hemforth City is also one of them.

Not to mention there is a rumor that the Three Fanged Shadow Hall has its headquarters established inside the Caragan Forest.

”It will be done, My Lord.” Pero saluted to Alex before taking his leave.

”Sparrow, what's happening on your side?” After Pero left, Alex contacted Sparrow to ask him for the update.

”My Lord, as we had thought, Commander Iran is going to mount another attack, but this time he will also take part in it. They are going to cross the forest with their full force, so capturing Mr. Oliver, Miss Melinda, and Elaina would be a little difficult.”

”... Then, I will come to raise the morale of our soldiers and handle Commander Iran once and for all. The earlier this war ends, the earlier I can go to join the Braveheart Sect and have time to cultivate in peace.” Alex said to his subordinate.

”We will be waiting for you then, My Lord,” Sparrow responded.

Alex turned and looked at the Hemforth City basking in the first rays of the sun.

'It's a beautiful city.' Alex thought to himself. Anahita and Plum were called back into his body before he vanished into thin air. The guards patrolling on the City wall were not surprised to see this since they were Alex's subordinates.

...

General Parson only slept for three hours the night before; he got out of his tent early in the morning to make a round around the camp so to check the readiness of his soldiers. It's one of his duties as the commander of the army.

But to his relief, he saw that the soldiers had already woke before him and were now standing in a square formation, according to their ranks and properly listening to the Captains of their battalions. The only once that isn't present here are the soldiers that were injured in the night battle or were doing night duty.

”General Parson, the subordinates of King Danny, is quite capable. Under their direction and quick training, our soldiers are functioning better to commands. That person over there, Mr. Sparrow, much better at leading than me.” the second in command who worked under General Parson and helped him in managing their troops felt a little down seeing the gap between him and Sparrow.

But he still couldn't help and praise the other guy when he reported to General Parson about the camp's situation first thing in the morning.

General Parson nodded his head; he also appreciated Sparrow for his ability to command his troops. And it was not only him, the fearful assassin Nora and others sent King Danny was quite talented and well-trained elites. Under their leadership, the soldiers of his behaved much properly and followed most of the commands without any mistakes.

Suddenly a big shadow appeared from behind General Parson. He looked back and saw the face of a big lizard who was also checking him out.

The personal guards of General Parson and the Vice commander took a step back, seeing the monster suddenly coming so close to them. The pressure of a Peak Stage Rank 2 Demon Beast was quite terrifying and powerful after all.

”Good morning, General Parson.” While sitting on the back of the sea, Iguana, Nancy, greeted the older man who was at the same age as his father.

”Good Morning Nancy. Did you have anything to eat yet? If not, why don't you come and join me at the table? Um, where is Lady Nora? I would like to invite her too.” General Parson greeted back, smiling. The little girl he met in the past has grown up to become quite a capable woman. Using such a powerful Demont Beast as a mount whose strength is almost similar to him, Parson couldn't help but smile wryly.

'It seems the relationship between Nancy and King Danny is really good. For him to let her ride his Demon Beast tells much about the strong ties between them... Nevertheless, it's a good thing.' Parson thought in his mind.

”Nora has already gone back into the forest. She has an important mission to complete today.”
