Although the war had already started, the commander-in-chief of Steinbeck Fief’s army had just gotten up. Now, the highest commanding officer of Steinbeck Fief’s army was Princess Natalie with Clyde as the behind-the-scenes commander. There were no problems in not appearing on ordinary occasions.
When Ancient Demon King Andrisno came to report the situation, Clyde had just gotten up. Because Andrisno was one of his people, he didn’t care about her seeing various taboo scenes and directly made her enter. After opening the door, Andrisno saw all kinds of wicked scenes, but her expression remained unchanged. She wasn’t embarrassed at all. She was already accustomed to these scenes after experiencing them many times.
In the room, Clyde casually sat at the edge of his big bed. He hadn’t changed into his armor, so his well-built chest was visible. In front of Clyde, Anna and Kylie knelt to his left and right, licking his crime tool. Betty was in the middle, swallowing his crime source. These three ladies were bright red and didn’t dare to look behind themselves. The sound of the door opening made them know that someone was entering, but Clyde didn’t let them rest. They could only provide special services to their master in front of others. Fortunately, Andrisno’s female voice relieved their shame.
“Lord Clyde, you… you were enjoying this service ritual!”
“How can I not? Every experience must have a chance, Andrisno. How about it? You can also try…”
“Lord Clyde, read the report first! Tinas has discovered something interesting, but she didn’t have time to report it to you.”
“Tinas is…”
“Do you remember the Demon King demonic soul you defeated in Atad? She told me her real name long ago; merely, she was shy and didn’t dare mention it to you.”
Clyde took the written report from Andrisno and carefully read its contents. Miss Anna and the others were very embarrassed, but they didn’t dare to move randomly without Clyde’s orders, so they were forced to continue providing their special service to their master. After the previous night of intimacy, their master completely controlled their bodies. Even if they wanted to resist, their bodies were outside their control and instinctively executed Clyde’s various wicked orders.
According to the secret investigations of Ancient Demon King Tinas, the Dark Shamans intended to kidnap Yani, the younger sister of Viscount Aaron. Now, the Demonic King was following those Dark Shamans. It seemed that Tinas had learned about Clyde’s hobbies, so she specifically made Andrisno tell Clyde that Miss Yani was a beautiful, young girl.
After reading the intelligence report, Clyde’s complexion turned somewhat awkward. No matter how one looked at it, this report resembled a correspondence between pimp dealers. The military situation was barely mentioned. However, he had to admit that he was truly more interested in Miss Yani’s attractiveness index than a military report. According to her investigation, Yani had a very good relationship with Earl Winissa, so she might be very useful in the following battle for Olm Fortress.
“Andrisno, after so long… Yani should already…”
“Not yet! If you want to go in person, I can use soul intersection magic with Tinas to teleport you there.”
“Okay, then I will go and take a look! You are to assist in the attack. I will go to the front and see what all this commotion is about.”
Clyde changed his clothes with the help of Miss Anna and the others’ meticulous service. He then made Ancient Demon King Andrisno use a secret magic to teleport him away. Before leaving, Clyde intentionally warned Miss Anna and the others, ordering these white lambs to obediently stay in the room and wait for his return. They were not allowed to roam freely. The complexions of Anna and the others reddened as they shyly nodded their heads. There were no clothes in the room, so even if they wanted to leave, they couldn’t unless they abandoned all dignity and fled naked. Moreover, there were many monsters outside, and they were marked as a certain person’s possessions. Those monsters would not give them any chance to sneak away.
As the teleportation started, Clyde saw darkness. When he saw the light once more, he was already at the periphery of a bustling town. The one responsible for this side was Ancient Demon King Tinas’s demonic soul. Because she had no physical body, Clyde could only see a vague shadow, but he could judge that she was a woman from her graceful and voluptuous figure.
“Master Clyde, you came! This is Antaur Town. You should be careful; we don’t know when the frontlines will be broken.”
“Antaur Town! That girl, Miss Yani, is really fast enough. She arrived here in less than a day.”
“Miss Yani is a Sky Knight. This speed is completely within normal expectations.”
Antaur Town was located on the banks of Aldington River, right across from Olm Fortress under Earl Winissa. This place was to the rear of Joyce Fortress. The army of Steinbeck Fief was still fighting at the frontlines, but Clyde, the behind-the-scenes commander, had already arrived in advance. This river that stretched across the entire Needham Plains divided it into two parts. The land on the other side was very fertile while this side was relatively barren.
The army that controlled Antaur Town was under the command of Baron Thomas, one of the Earl Royle’s subordinates. His army had roughly a thousand people. This fellow was a profligate son like Baron Haydn who Clyde had defeated before. He didn’t have any ability to command and lived a muddled life. He regarded Antaur Town as his own territory. Ignoring the situation on the frontlines, he worked as a “local tyrant” at ease.
Clyde looked at the wide Aldington River. With no bridge spanning it, this bridge was also rather unsuitable for boats to cross due to its rapid flow. Over 200 years ago when the Human Race controlled this place, several bridges had existed across this river. Now, those bridges had all been destroyed for various reasons. If anyone wanted to cross Aldington River, they could only rely on ships.
“What about that girl, Yani? I don’t see her. Where is she?”
“No problem, Lord Clyde. If you follow me, I’ll take you there. I have been following those Dark Shamans and haven’t lost them.”
“That’s good. I want to thank those Dark Shamans for delivering us the equipment and also a beautiful girl.”
“Lord Clyde, how do you plan to thank them?”
“Of course, by sending them on their way! This is my utmost thanks.”
Clyde walked along the path to Antaur Town under the guidance of Ancient Demon King Tinas. The residents here didn’t know that Joyce Fortress was about to fall. Generally, the public wouldn’t particularly care about wars between suzerains. In their views, no matter who won, it would only be a change in who they paid taxes to, nothing more.
Miss Yani was staying at the highest class hotel in Antaur City, Cook Hotel. When Clyde arrived, he immediately saw Miss Yani sitting in the hall of the first floor. She was a light-blonde beauty with azure eyes. She wore light, silver, knight armor with a hawk feather ornament, which proved that she was a Sky Knight. On the basis of that logo, Clyde assumed that she was Miss Yani.
At this moment, Miss Yani looked somewhat impatient. Beside her, a brown-haired, handsome man did his best to please her. Wearing the formal attire of one of Adrian Empire’s barons, he must have been the temporary lord of Antaur Town, Baron Thomas. Although Baron Thomas washandsome, his expression was too frivolous. At a glance, anyone could see that he was not a gentleman. While chatting with Miss Yani, his gaze often wandered about her body and remained on her towering positions for too long with “lecher” written all over his face. Even as an outsider, Clyde couldn’t stand this fellow. He truly had no hint of a gentlemanly bearing.
Miss Yani’s armor clearly covered her body, but the other party was unwilling to restrain his gaze. There were also many guards beside the table, and at first glance, anyone could tell that they followed Baron Thomas. Miss Yani was quite upset at the moment. If it were not for her mouth having problems and being prevented from flying, she wouldn’t have chosen to land in Antaur Town. Instead, she would have directly crossed the river and delivered the letter to Earl Winissa.
At a corner of the hall were several people hidden in the shadows. Other people might not have seen them, but Clyde quickly noticed these Dark Shamans with Tinas’s reminder. These Dark Shamans had tailed Miss Yani and had most likely used some kind of dark magic to cause a problem with Miss Yani’s flying mount. Miss Yani wasn’t a magician, so she was naturally unable to notice the secret moves of the Dark Shamans towards her mount. She thought that it had all been an accident.
“Your Excellency Thomas, when does the ship leave? I want to quickly cross the river to deliver a letter to Big Sister Winissa!”
“Don’t be impatient! Miss Yani, the ship will soon be available. The scenery here is pretty good though, so why don’t you stay here for a while. His Excellency Viscount Aaron is bored there, maybe you’ll be able to tell him stories from here to relieve his boredom.”
“Big Brother Aaron is waiting for my return. Your Excellency Thomas, can you make the arrangements as quickly as possible!”
Yani could do nothing against the cheekily grinning Baron Thomas. She was alone here, and the other side was looking for reasons to detain her. Since the other side delayed arranging a ship for her, she could only anxiously wait. As Clyde was thinking about how to intervene, the ground suddenly shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred. This shaking came from the direction of Joyce Fortress, and smoke clouds rose in that direction. It seemed Princess Natalie and the others’ explosive plan had been successful.
