177 Return (1/2)

Lucien said goodbye to Alden and Ron, then ​gave​ his wives ​their​ equipment, and sent them to the Purple World while he headed to his female troops' barracks.

Some of the younger girls wanted to travel with Lucien. As they were already at the level of his troops or stronger, they would not slow down the group's speed and just use the opportunity to enjoy the time next to their beloved husband.

Of course, they could always ​go​ in and out of the Purple World, because although the portal consumes a ​small​ amount of demonic energy. Lucien could easily recover that amount quickly with a few kisses and touches, which the girls love.

Arriving at the training ​courtyard​, Lucien saw his female troops lined up, ready for the trip just as Kylee ordered.

They were not wearing the medium and light armor that Rebecca had made, but ordinary clothes to maximize their speed.

Lucien had no way of giving all of them storage treasures with great capacities, but he looted from his enemies many magic backpacks, which has enough space for his troops to ​store​ their armor, weapons, and other items like first aid equipment and food.

Since Lucien could hear ​everything in ​three mile ​radius​, and Lust could use her senses ​in a​ five ​mile radius​. They ​can​ travel in normal clothes, and if they find ​anything​ ​dangerous​ nearby, the troops can​ quickly equip their equipment to fight.

Lucien stood in front of his troops and spoke to all of them. ”If anyone has any doubts or any other issue to resolve, this is the time to speak, as we will be going to battle, where I hope that none of us will die. But in real combat, there is always ​a​ possibility ​of death​.”

None of the women made a sound or movement. They just looked at Lucien with respectful and expectant looks, thinking that any risk is worthy of their Master's rewards.

”So, if everything is ready, let's start moving.” Lucien smiled and headed for the city's south gate with his troops and some of his wives.

He ordered Alden to take Mason with the male troops the next day while Jeanne would follow Lucien to fight alongside him. Jeanne's deceased sister was very fond of Cassidy, so she was also doing ​this​ to help the real Queen recover her crown.

Lucien had no worries about the male troops following him the next day since although they don't love him like his female troops, they are very loyal and know that their good new life was given them by Lucien so they will always follow him, as their leader.

Also, the Black Mark, despite not harming their bodies without reason, will make them feel sick if they disobey his orders. But ​it​ wouldn't reach that point, since everyone agrees with his orders and wants the rewards, in the case of men, ​It's ​gold and women, of course.

Of course, after ​conquering​ Portgreen, he would either go back to take her or send someone since he would not give up on her.

Lucien couldn't help but draw the attention of Bluewind's population while leaving the city with his troops. The first and second princesses were also at his side.

Angela preferred to stay ​in the​ Purple World because she had not announced her departure from the city. It was already getting ​late​, and she knew that ​if she ​abruptly ​said that​ she wouldn't ​be staying​ in Bluewind anymore, ​it​ would only cause the people to panic.

She was sure that Ron would take care of everything very well, but she also wants to come back later and announce her departure in a more calm and explained way. Her focus right ​ ​now is on fighting alongside the man she chose as her husband.

Although Lucien always keeps a low profile, everyone in town knew who he is and thought he was going for another battle simulation.

He greeted the guards at the gate and left the city. Although Bluewind city is small as it is a vassal Kingdom and not as incredible as Portgreen city, Lucien would always have a special affection for it.

As usual, time was not at his side. Lucien and his group wasted no time, and soon after crossing the gates, they started running towards the south.

His female troops were used to intense exercises with their Master, so they could run for several hours at a constant high speed and in an organized manner.

Lucien thought Oya would like to run with them as well as some of his wives, but mama tigress had spent the last few days lying on her big sofa in the main hall of his home.

Although she didn't know how to communicate, Lucien could feel from their connection that she was feeling a little uncomfortable. Lust explained that she was going through the same process as his wives when they were about to enter the Mortal Realm.

Mystic beasts have the same evolution of power as people. Although Oya ​has been​ very strong since she met Lucien, they could not have sex, and so it took her a long time to reach that level, just with pats and drinking his essence.

Also, girls like Maggie, Mia, Marie, Lena, and Anne were very close to reaching the Mortal Realm, so Lucien thought it would be worth a great ”night training” session before entering Portgreen.

Of course, his intention is to arrive on the outskirts of the city and set up a camp while exploring his options and analyzing the current state of the conflict between the mercenaries and adventurers.

So they went on their journey. The group passed through roads and fields until they entered the great forest to the south. Despite being a huge group, they were very quiet and fast as the wind.

The night came, and ten hours later, the morning followed. Although the troops could run much longer before they ​needed​ to rest and Lucien's women ​could run even longer without rest​. ​But he still​ thought it would be good to take a break.

It took Lucien six hours to be able to give his essence to all the troops, even though three or four of them could drink a good amount of it with each of his great orgasms.

Cumming so many times in a short ​period of​ time was a challenge even for his incredible regenerative ​capabilities​. Still, the demonic energy he generates is the best combination that can exist for his life mana, allowing Lucien not to get tired.

The six hours break was actually an excellent gain of time because, after his boost, the group was able to increase their speed as the troops felt ​like they had​ unlimited energy.

So, the group reached the edge of the forest near the western walls of Portgreen city in another ten hours, ​they ​traveled that route in the fastest ​time​ in Portgreen's history.

26 hours of travel. The difference was so great that it didn't even compare to the A-rank spy specialized in speed, who needed four days to get the report to Lucien, running as fast as he could.

Lucien told the troops to set up camp on the hill that Cassidy and the other girls ​used to wait​ for Lucien when they fled the city in the past, while he went to the very edge of the forest.

The forest was just over a mile from the city walls. Lucien ​couldn't​ help​ remembering the chaos​ that happened there with Rose's earthquake.
