Lust Knight

Chapter 248 - Almost a Perfect Victory

While Lucien and his girls fought on the front, his other troops finished defeating the Light Empire’s flanker group.

Lucien’s male troops only acted as support, so they didn’t take losses. But out of the four thousand adventurers and mercenaries, almost two hundred died while half of them are injured, which prevents them from continuing to fight.

Scarlett and Olivia had to work hard to make up for the weakness of their troops. Still, they quickly joined Lucien’s side to continue fighting alongside him, while half of their group also joined the front to fight.

So, Lucien’s army continued to kill the Light Empire soldiers in groups of ten thousand. Rose, Angela, Marie, and Lena continue to take down their magic walls on the Light Empire army and raising it again, trapping more soldiers.

Although Lucien’s troops are very strong, mainly due to the boost he gave them before the battle, everyone understands that without his constant help, and especially his wives’ strength, there was no way they could survive for long, let alone win the battle.

The Light Empire soldiers cannot do anything. While their enemies are incredibly strong and fast, a mighty strike from Lucien and Cassidy can even break a blessed shield in half.

Also, while the Light Empire soldiers are slaughtered by Lucien’s girls, they still have to watch their enemies having fun.

Lucien continues to move among his troops, now with his focus on continuing to boost them. He realized that killing enemies so much weaker that he is not really helping him, but for his wives and especially his troops, this is like a training session where they can kill the training dummies.

After the adventurer mercenaries joined the front, the Light Empire soldiers even managed to wound some of them.

Still, after a hundred and three thousand losses, in addition to the loss of the troops on the sh.i.p.s and the flanker group, the remaining fifty thousand soldiers realized it is impossible for them to survive if they kept fighting.

Running away like that in the middle of a battle is almost never a wise choice as the enemy army can kill the group fleeing by firing them in the back with spells and arrows.

But the Light Empire soldiers no longer have leaders. Most of the generals died on the front while the rest of them are mages who, like their troops, are barely able to move because they have forced their bodies to the limit trying to destroy the magic wall of Lucien’s army.

Also, because Lucien’s army is quite small compared to the remaining fifty thousand Light Empire soldiers, they are sure that even if many die, most of them can still live if they run away now.

’Haha, they are running away, hubby.’ Lena was the first to see the troops at the back of the Light Empire army fleeing. She quickly warned Lucien mentally.

Lucien, who is flying with Aria and Ella, rises higher in the sky and sees the troops furthest from the battlefield center running away, or in the case of the mages, trying to run as they are too weak.

’It’s, we don’t have to chase them.’ Lucien replies to Lena.

Lena pouts while making her ice bird flies in front of Lucien. "Can I kill some more of them? I still have a lot of mana."

Lucien flaps his wings slowly and lands on Lena’s icebird. Then he gently caresses her face before giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "Be careful."

"Sure!" Lena hugs Lucien’s waist while laughing before flying towards the fleeing Light Empire troops.

With the remaining Light Empire soldiers loses all will to fight and starting to flee, Lucien’s other wives take down their magic wall too, but now they don’t create another one.

While Lucien’s group finishes killing the soldiers who are still fighting, many of his troops and some of his wives chase some fleeing soldiers.

The Light Empire soldiers did a lot of harm to innocent people for anyone to take pity on them. But of course, many of the girls want to receive more rewards from Lucien for killing more enemies.

So, the girls still killed more than half of the remaining group of Light Empire soldiers. Still, some of them managed to escape because the girls did not chase them too far.

While his girls finish the last Light Empire soldiers, Lucien flies towards the ground. Rose approaches him and quickly creates a great stone throne, which Lucien sat on, in the middle of the battlefield.

Rose sits on the arm of the throne and begins to stroke Lucien’s hair while L.u.s.t sits on his lap.

"Really incredible. I expected some deaths on our side, but none of your female troops died or even suffered serious injuries." L.u.s.t comments.

Lucien nods. "As our first battle, it was pretty good. Still, there is a lot to improve, mainly in our teamwork."

Angela descends from the sky on her icebird. "Hubby is right. The girls are still very inexperienced. This overwhelming victory was due to him always helping us."

Rose doesn’t wait for Lucien to ask and creates a stone throne next to his. Angela smiles at her and sits on the throne.

Lucien reaches out his side and caresses Angela’s hand. "Due to not having faced powerful enemies, I was able to stay booting the girls all the time. But when we face enemies that I need to deal with personally, the girls will have to have more autonomy."

"Can you only think about the future? We have to celebrate now. This battle was certainly the most incredible that this world has ever seen." Cassidy approaches them while commenting in an excited tone.

Rose, again, acts very quickly, creating another throne opposite Angela’s, thus forming two thrones around Lucien’s throne.

Cassidy kisses Lucien on the lips before sitting on the new throne. "Not to mention the adventurers and mercenaries, our two thousand troops won an army of one hundred ninety thousand soldiers."

Everyone nods, agreeing that the battle was actually better than expected.

Lucien smiles at Cassidy. "The troops fought very well, but the most significant credit has to go to you, my dears wives. How many soldiers did you kill? Two thousand? Three thousand? I just saw their bodies flying lifelessly away with each swing of your sword, my warrior queen."

Cassidy knows that she actually killed thousands of soldiers. She feels like her power is infinite. Still, she blushes because of Lucien’s excessive praise.

"I don’t think I did that all. Angela and the other mage girls were the real leaders of that battle." She comments.

Angela laugh. "Don’t be modest, Cassidy. We were all important to this result. Without each one of our sisters leading the troops, they would not have fought so well."

Rose comments. "Exactly, the fact that hubby can communicate with us mentally makes our cooperation perfect."

Lucien can’t help but smile while listening to his wives being friendly to each other. He cannot force them to love each other as he does, but if they don’t get along well, it would be sad for him.

The battle is already over. While his other wives and troops continue to finish the last Light Empire soldiers, Lucien flies to the hill where he left Amelia and Dawn.

Lucien quickly arrives at the hill. He sees Amelia and Dawn having a very "exciting" conversation while sitting on a rock.

He can’t help wanting to hear what they’re talking about, but he doesn’t want to disrespect his sister’s privacy even though it might not seem that bad.

Amelia and Dawn keep talking and ignore Lucien’s arrival. Well, it is clear to him that they are trying to make it clear that they are ignoring him.

Lucien looks at Envy, who is standing next to the girls, gazing at him with a thoughtful expression.

"The competition may not be important anymore, but I still need your copy ability," Lucien speaks in a cold tone to Envy.

Envy smirks. "Oh, come on. You can be honest. Just say how much you want to have me."

Lucien makes a confused expression as he points to his own face. "Me? I don’t think you should have seen how many beautiful wives I already have. Also, I have..."

He moves his arm to the side, and L.u.s.t materializes her body already in his embrace while Lucien continues to speak to Envy. "My stunning L.u.s.t."

Although Amelia is ignoring Lucien as Dawn suggested to increase his interest in her, they are listening to his conversation with Envy, and Amelia can’t help but make an upset expression as she hears him praising L.u.s.t and his other wives.

"..." Envy loses her smile while remaining silent.

Lucien laughs as he strokes L.u.s.t’s face. "Oh, Envy... as a v.i.r.g.i.n of thousands of years, you shouldn’t try to talk about something you don’t understand."

"..." Envy is furious, but she remains silent as showing her emotions would only make Lucien feel more confident.

Lucien ignores Envy and looks at Amelia and Dawn. He doesn’t understand why they are ignoring him that way, so he asks L.u.s.t mentally. ’What are they doing? Is that a kind of game?’

L.u.s.t quickly replies. ’Ah, this is an old trick that many women use to get the interest of men. They will ignore you and show no interest in you because, as many people say, men want most what they can’t have.’

Lucien smiles as he jokingly says. ’Cute. But is there any woman I can’t have?’

’Hehehe... The arrogant Lucien. I love this side of you.’ L.u.s.t starts to kiss Lucien’s chest.

Lucien feels that L.u.s.t is getting very horny, more than usual, that she always is, so he focuses on the current situation and stops joking.

"If you want to talk alone more, I can come back later. We still have to clean up the mess of the battle, so we won’t be back too soon."

Amelia looks at Lucien with a thoughtful expression while Dawn quickly gets up bows to him. "There is no necessity. Amelia already explained everything to me. Though I still don’t understand much of this all."

Lucien friendly smiles at Dawn. "It’s alright. Our situation is really a mess, and even I still have a lot to understand."

Dawn blushes a little as she feels good about the gentle way Lucien smiles at her. He is sure that he has multiple personalities because nobody mentally healthy should be able to kill and brutalize many people and be so kind to others.

Lucien looks at the battlefield as he continues to speak to her, "How do you feel about that? I mean, do you hate me for killing your soldiers?"

Dawn makes a confused expression, "I... Finding out that my whole life was a lie and that they made a fool of me is really horrible. I’m still mad at them for everything that happened."

"Still, I was their leader. I trained many of those soldiers in person. And now seeing almost all of them killed... I don’t know how I feel. I’m confused, sad, and upset."

Lucien feels sorry for Dawn, so he approaches her and pats her head. "If you want to blame and hate me for killing them, that’s okay. That can help you deal with your sadness."

Dawn feels good with Lucien’s pats. She looks into his beautiful blue eyes as she is even more confused, without knowing what to think of this strange devil.

"I... I don’t think I want to hate you. You are not to blame for anything that happened. In fact, you opened my eyes. Also, you are Amelia’s brother, so I think we should be friends."

L.u.s.t can’t help commenting. "His other wives will be happy to know that friendship is all you want. Or is this something that Amelia made you agree with?"

While Dawn makes a confused expression, Amelia can’t help but gaze at L.u.s.t as she thinks to herself.

[You can make jokes as you want now, but soon your reign will end, and you will have to pay respect to the true queen.]
