Chapter 269 - Home (5) (1/2)

Velvet 'stared' at Mars for a moment before she gave a nod

”I vote for conquouring, because f.u.c.k the NNE”

”Yeah... I figured you would say that”

Mars remembered how Velvet's people had been hunted down by the NNE and captured to be sold as slaves, even her mother had been killed in the invasion

'that reminds me there was that request to destroy the NNE...'

”...Are your hatred for the NNE still there?”

”Of course it is, but following you is more important than that”

”I see...”

Mars thought for a moment before he asked

”Would it appease your anger if I found the ones that are responsible for the invasion and offered their heads?”

”Hmm... A bit I think? Why do you ask?”

”Well I am going to the NNE anyways might as well do something while I am there”

”In that case I wish you luck Mars”

The two of them chatted a bit more before Mars eventually left and flew back home, where the twins had already showed up with their luggage and was chatting with the girls, Mars joined them and chatted for a while before he retired and went to bed...

The next morning the day had come, Mars woke up and stretched for the last time in this bedroom before he put on the clothes he had laid out the night before, then he walked quietly into the living room so he didn't wake up the still sleeping girls and then he sat down on one of the couches and began to meditate, as time passed Mars picked up more and more movement around him as he contemplated the nature of energy until he suddenly opened his eyes and saw that both the girls but also the twins were gathered with their luggage

”Well then... Let's get going”

Mars grabbed his backpack that he had finished packing the day before (it was a size larger than the one he had returned with), besides the backpack there was also two broadswords on his back and he held two bags in his hands, the group made their way up towards the roof where they found five sky carriages was landed along with VIctoria that sat and watched them with cat like curiosity

”Morning Victoria, are you ready to leave?”

”Yeah... Let's go”

Mars and the others loaded their luggage into two of the sky carriages before they squeezed into a single carriage, leaving two carriages unused and then a few moments after they all had found their places the carriage they were sitting in lifted off the ground, Mars looked out of the window and watched as the city of Green river grew more and more distant until they passed the barrier and the city transformed into forest

'And bye bye Green river... oh well, nothing lasts forever'

Mars gave a sigh before he leaned back in his seat and felt a hand grasp his and looked to Chloe that sat at his side before he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and spoke

”It will be fine, worst case I'll just conquer the NNE, like a proper one man army”

Chloe gave a smile and spoke

”I know... I am just anxious to leave my home”

Mars gave her hand another squeeze before he felt his other hand being grabbed and looked to his left where 78 sat with a smile on her face

”ehehe”

Mars gave a smile and leaned back before he closed his eyes and began to meditate, while he had reached a threshold in the making of his mandate he was nowhere near done with forming it, right now he could only display a fraction of its power (that said the power he now wielded was near the power of the whole NNE)

After 3 days of flying (with small breaks in between) the three sky carriages reached the former king's city, the center of this province of the NNE, Mars and the others stretched after they got out of the carriage. The three sky carriages attached attention from the citizens of the former King's city, especially since there were so many different races among the passengers of the sky carriages that carried the crests of Green river, soon a group of guards arrived

”Wait right there!”

Mars gave a sigh as he watched the guards close in on them but the next thing the guards said surprised him greatly

”We have come to receive you Mars”

Mars looked around to make sure that there was no other Mars that they could have called out to before he pointed to himself and tilted his head slightly before he asked

”Me?”

”Yes Mars, we are here to receive you”

”I see... Well in that case help the ladies with their luggage”

”Yes, at once!”

The guards eagerly walked over and helped the girls with their luggage and soon the the sky carriages were unloaded and took off again, meanwhile Mars asked one of the guards

”So where to?”
