Chapter 143 – You Cannot Leave!
In reality, Lei Yu’s injury was quite serious but it was not a life threatening one. The biggest problem was that he barely had any internal energy left. It would take him a long time before he can recover fully.
Lei Yu was now inside a different luxurious bedchamber. This was the chambers of Queen Telephassa which was emitting a strong fragrance that could make someone go crazy for. Lei Yu was enjoying himself lying atop of the soft bed while looking all over the room.
There were only several people in the chambers; the beautiful queen, Minotaur Linos and a medical official. The medical official’s forehead was full of sweat as he examined Lei Yu’s wounds. He could only heal the external wounds but when it came to the internal ones, those were beyond the scope of his capabilities.
After applying medicine, they wrapped Lei Yu’s chest with white bandages. Two maids then helped Lei Yu by wiping away the stains on his body. Even though Lei Yu’s body was emitting a bad odor, no one said a thing since he suffered these wounds for the kingdom. They couldn’t even repay his kindness so who would dare despise his odor?
After experiencing these events, Lei Yu could not help thinking about the time when he got injured in the hospital and how Fang Yi Ke (little Ke) took care of him. He felt the warmth in his heart, but these maids weren’t her, little Ke’s death was a fact which could never be changed.
Lei Yu woke up from his comfortable sleep. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was one beautiful face and one funny looking face. Telephassa was sitting besides his pillow as she gently stroked his hair. Even though Lei Yu enjoyed this feeling, this seductress wasn’t the Ai Er whom he wanted. Feeling slightly awkward, he shifted away a bit.
“You’re awake? Did you sleep okay?” Telephassa tenderly asked, looking like she didn’t mind Lei Yu’s previous actions.
“Pretty good, I want to go out for a walk.” Lei Yu sat up with support of his hands. He could feel waves of pain on his chest but it wasn’t considered much for Lei Yu since he could easily tolerate it by clenching his teeth.
The queen’s previous majestic appearance had disappeared without a trace; Telephassa was now the representation of a warm and kind-hearted girl. Her hands were gently supporting her beloved husband since she was afraid of him suffering any further discomfort. Seeing this, the bull-head’s eyes could not help but swarm with dizziness.
“Hey bull-head, you looked way cooler back then when you were in the bull form.” Lei Yu jokingly grinned as he showed his signature smile.
Minotaur Linos’s bull lips opened up with a laughter. “Of course! Since that’s my real form!”
“Reporting!”
A voice was heard in the distance as a warrior hurriedly rushed over. Looking at his face, you could see that the warrior was extremely anxious.
During the time when Lei Yu was recovering, Telephassa gave an order that no one was allowed to disturb them. Putting the imminent war temporarily aside and placing personal relationship affairs first was a big taboo for an emperor. No matter what, the country’s problems and its citizens should be the most important things. But Lei Yu was not just anyone; relying on his own strength, he was about to rescue the mighty fiendgod Minotaur Linos. Now that a fiendgod was present, how could they be afraid on an enemy invasion?
When Minotaur Linos’s messenger – Silo was present, no enemy states dared to invade them. Now that the true embodiment of power had returned, would Telephassa still be afraid of an invasion? The worst case scenario was that their enemies could arrive at the city gates. Perhaps with a mere stomp of Minotaur Linos, the invading enemy would be scared out of their wits.
“What’s the current location of the invading army?” Telephassa asked calmly.
“Reporting to your majesty, the invading army is right outside our walls, preparing for a large-scale attack on the city! What should we do?” Cold sweat was dripping off this warrior’s forehead. After many years without a war, the sudden appearance of an enemy invasion had made him somewhat fearful.
“There’s no need to panic.” Telephassa glanced over at Minotaur Linos, “Lord Fiendgod, how do you think we should deal with this?”
“Don’t ask me.” His huge bull head shook, “I haven’t fought in over a thousand years, so I too don’t know how to respond to this.” In reality, since he was trapped and tortured in the labyrinth for so long, he had forgotten that he alone could fight ten thousand soldiers.
“Bull-head, why don’t you go out and deal with them? You are still the legendary fiendgod so let them experience your might. You cannot forget that just a messenger of yours alone can deter them, not to mention you who is the master!”
At this time, another warrior rushed over. “Reporting to your majesty, Prophet Kalchas has been captured by the enemy army and they’re currently showing off outside the main gates!”
“That so called William is such a sinister bastard!” One of the things Lei Yu hated the most was when someone threatened him with the use of a hostage. He then angrily said: “Bull-head, if you’re not going then I’ll go!”
“I’ll go! I’ll go!” The huge head of Minotaur Linos was startled before he started running outside. Lei Yu gently patted Telephassa’s hand, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Since that bull-head has been rumored to be super strong, he must have something backing it up.”
Telephassa gently nodded, her eyes seem to only have thoughts about Lei Yu.
“Moo~!” This distinct cry made Lei Yu look towards the direction of the battlefield that he couldn’t see.
Below the city walls, about one hundred thousand troops were neatly lined up which created a spectacular scene. While twenty thousand cavalry and eighty thousand infantry soldiers were shouting, the city gates suddenly opened. A bull…, no! A human body with a bull’s head came out from the city.
“What sort of monster are you? You look way too funny!” Sitting atop a huge horse, General William looked up and his face was filled with disdain as he insulted the unknown creature.
“Impudent thing!” Minotaur Linos wasn’t someone that you could insult whenever you want. At least for him, apart from Lei Yu, whoever disrespected him shall die! “Open up your dog eyes and memorize my appearance! Then look at the portrait of the flag that is flying atop of the city walls behind me!”
Minotaur Linos’s voice shook the heavens and the earth. Without an exception, all one hundred thousand troops heard his words. They all looked up at the flag with an unimpressed manner, but then suddenly a majority of them became restless as they started to create a clamor.
