The Pleasure Lord

Chapter 335 - My Liege! - Part 1

"My Lord, we now have 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 in the southern direction of 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 their 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 has 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 assassin Nora and others sent by King Danny were 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."

"Important mission?"

"Uncle Parson, it’s a personal matter of King Danny. Even I don’t have full knowledge of it," Nancy did not reveal anything to the General. Unless Alex gives his permission, Nancy will not share such matters to outsiders.

General Parson nodded understandably. He has not even met King Danny face to face; it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for him not to be informed first.

Suddenly the Sea Iguana that was standing still turned his head to behind him.

The humongous beast having the size of an elephant turned her body one-eighty degree, causing a tent to the side of the pathway to crumble as her tail accidentally hit the pole.

"Aagh!" It looked like some soldiers were sleeping inside the tent. But fortunately, they weren’t hurt.

Without giving a fuck about them, Godzilla started heading towards the back of the camp, which faced the Nehmor City in the east.

Nancy tried to stop the Demon Beast, but her words did not affect the Sea Iguana. General Parson immediately followed behind them.

When they arrived at the back of the camp, General Parson Nancy found many guards already gathered there in two rows near the gates as if they were eager to see someone enter through it.

"Kreee!" the Sea Iguana suddenly made a loud noise and rushed towards the gate excitedly.

"Fuck me! Oye, move quickly." shouted a soldier who had a close call as he just saved himself from getting crushed under the Demon Beast. He immediately alerted the soldiers in its way, so they don’t get hurt.

At first, Nancy was confused since she didn’t know why Godzilla would behave like this and not listen to her. But since she sat on top of the Sea Iguana, Nancy saw the reason for the Demon Beast behavior.

’Ale... Danny!’ Nancy spotted Danny riding on a horse with ten guards behind him as he entered through the gates.

"Easy girl! I’m coming to you." Danny shouted hurriedly. He did not want to see anyone getting their bones crushed under the eager Demon Beast Companion of his.

"Kree!" Godzilla slowed down and walked up to Danny slowly. She was best at

"Neigh!"

Danny rubbed the mane of his horse to calm it down. He got down from the horse and handed it over to his subordinate behind him before going near Godzilla to give the deserving rub on her head.

"Kree!" Godzilla immediately became delighted.

Nancy got down from the back of the Demon Beast and walked to the front to greet Danny. Because there was an audience looking at them, Nancy did not jump into the arms of Danny. She must behave like a mature lady of a big clan outside.

"King Danny." Nancy came forward bowed with the etiquette of an aristocrat greeting his or her superior.

"Lady Nancy," Danny nodded back.

General Parson hurriedly walked over as he heard from the murmurs of the soldiers around them, repeatedly bringing one name up, King Danny.
