Lust Knight

Chapter 226 The Competition is Coming

As the servants wiped Radyn’s blood off the floor, Lucien sat in his throne, and Lust sat in his lap again, and so they really started the conference.

Lucien and Cassidy explained their economic and military plans to the leaders of the vassal kingdoms and villages, and they really liked that.

It was actually quite simple. Lucien wanted everyone to follow Cassidy’s father’s wishes faithfully so that Portgreen will be a place that accepts all kinds of people and treats everyone equally.

Cassidy was unable to manage Portgreen well in this way because the royal power was severely weakened after her father’s death and the loss of his large army.

She had been trying to increase the royal power for several years, but most of the powerful people in Portgreen only worked for their group and did not support egalitarian policies.

Well, gains based on people’s power and hard work are very attractive to strong people. That is why groups of mercenaries and adventurers are created so easily.

But everything is different now. Lucien has the most powerful army ever seen. An army that was Six hundred women, is now more than two thousand. The fact that they can defeat an army that has several times more members than them, is something really fantastic.

Now, not only did everyone want to join the royal army because of Lucien but also because Scarlett and Olivia are his wives.

Everyone can see that Lucien and his amazing wives are creating something extraordinary, and everyone wants to participate in it, especially the strongest and most influential people in Portgreen and other parts of the west continent.

And of course, with Scarlett, Olivia, Ivan, and other people’s treasures, the royal coffers are full of gold and other valuable resources that Lucien and Cassidy use for the benefit of everyone, making sure that nobody has anything to complain about.

Lucien promised to send more mercenary troops, who are now actually royal troops, to the vassal kingdoms and villages.

But he also created a recruiting policy for the young people that want to join the royal army, so they can come from vassal kingdoms villages to train in Portgreen city with the best combat and magic instructors from the Guild and mercenary groups.

Thus, Portgreen’s total military power began to grow rapidly. Everyone understood that the good of everyone could benefit people individually as well.

In order to finalize the most impactful reforms, Lucien wants to create defensive golems on all of Portgreen’s borders, like those that his wives created on the western border of Bluewind.

Lucien knows that Portgreen will always be a place Cassidy loves because it’s the kingdom her father created, so he wants to make it very safe before they leave Argerim.

Creating so many golems will certainly be a very difficult task, but now his army of women has over four hundred mages in addition to the fact that any mage with basic knowledge can use the golem scrolls.

Of course, it takes a lot of mages from Zero Realm to make a golem, while Lucien’s troops can do it alone, and his wives can make them even faster. Especially those at his side, because he can help them quickly recover their mana.

But that, as well as other matters of the kingdom, will be solved after the competition between him and Amelia. It’s only two weeks before the end of the time he asked Amelia, but Lucien already imagined that she has started moving her army.

Lucien explained to the vassal kingdom’s leaders that they will be having a battle against the Light Empire army soon. People were afraid, but he said that everything is under control, and his army of incredible women will be enough for them to have a victory.

He made it clear that the battle is a personal matter and would take place south of Portgreen, thus leaving people a little more relaxed, but yet concerned.

In addition to giving Pyke the leadership of the northern kingdom, Lucien offered Ron a position in Portgreen city as the King’s adviser.

Lucien would not really need Ron’s councils as he and Cassidy can handle political issues well. In fact, Lucien supporters Cassidy who plans most things.

Still, Lucien wants Ron to get more and more public recognition so he can rule the whole Portrgreen when he and his wives leave this world.

Ron immediately agreed to stay in Portgreen city because he is very fond of the company of Kara, Angela, Marie, Lena, and Lucien’s other wives, as well as really enjoying Lucien’s company.

He’s also the type of person who understands that some people have to be responsible for others, so instead of letting Portgreen be ruled by someone less capable, he agreed to take care of everything.

Then the conference was over. The leaders of the vassal kingdoms and villages returned to their homes, and Ron returned to Bluewind to choose a ruler in his place as he will be living in Portgreen city from now on.

So, Lucien and his wives focused entirely on their training for the battle that is soon to be. None of them or Lucien’s troops are afraid to face the terrible Light Empire army; on the contrary, they were excited to fight them.

Since there is no reason to hide it, Lucien told his troops about Amelia being his sister. The L girls who joined his troops were not only very loyal to him but also asked for a black mark after finding out that his original six hundred troops have it and are proud to have their master’s mark.

Of course, the goal of every woman in Lucien’s troops is to gain his tattoo someday, and for that, they work really hard to get stronger and fight by his side.

Although Lucien planned to win the battle strategically and not by killing everyone, now somethings is starting to change his mind.

Most of his troops of more than two thousand women are demi-human and have had members of their families and friends killed by the people of the Light Empire like what happened to Madelyn.

Then Lucien started planning to actually kill all or at least part of the racist army. Even though they are Amelia’s pawns, Lucien knows that he can be much more beneficial to his sister than Envy. But they can also work together, so she didn’t have to stay away from him.

In addition to training his troops and the nightly habitual love sessions, Lucien also paid a lot of attention to Rebecca and Madelyn.

As the newest members of the group, they quickly became best friends. Of course, all of Lucien’s wives are very fond of both as well.

Rebecca conducts many experiments in the forge of the purple world house. She is very excited about the new knowledge she is acquiring from the books that Lust is translating for her.

Of course, she is also very excited about her relationship with Lucien, which, despite not having great advances, has already evolved from kissing to touching private parts.

Like Madelyn, Rebecca has already bathed with Lucien and the other girls, but they are still too shy to do anything besides washing his body.

Madelyn has been learning a lot about magic from Rose and Angela. She loves the purple world house more and more because it is really safe and comfortable, in addition to her feeling like she has a real family for the first time.

And so another week went by

-------------------------------

Cladena, the capital of the Light Empire, is in the central area of ​​the Light Empire’s territory. It would normally take a large army that’s marching at a rapid pace approximately one and a half months to travel from Cladena to the Portgreen’s border.

But following the incredible Holy Light Envoy, it took the two hundred thousand Light Empire soldiers just three weeks to march that significant distance.

Most of Portgreen’s and the Light Empire’s territory is bordered by the great forest on the west side and the sea on the east side, but a part of Portgreen at the south borders the Light Empire.

That region on both the Portgreen’s and the Light Empire’s side is a coastal area, and therefore its terrain is very flat with few ​​forest areas.

But despite the terrain being good for moving many troops, the Light Empire army was still pushed to its limit by Amelia, who couldn’t wait to meet with Lucien and prove to him that his wives are not as amazing as she is.

Of course, Amelia could travel the same distance several times without getting tired because her physique of a person at the late layers of the Mortal Realm is many times better than people from Zero Realm.

But for the soldiers of the Light Empire who had been marching for more than a day without rest, the situation was sad.

Many would find the scene of two thousand soldiers walking slowly along the coast funny. They were lucky to have the sea breeze to help with the heat, but even so, they seemed to have already suffered a great defeat because they were barely able to lift their feet off the ground because they are so tired.

While the soldiers "dragged" their bodies, Amelia and Dawn walked fast ahead of the group in a very lively way.

Dawn has always been very strong, probably because she inherited good genes from her father and, of course, because of her hard training.

But now she has been having great improvement in her power. This improvement started as soon as she started serving Amelia. Envy’s powers are mainly based on strengthening her host, but there is also a way to use her influence to strengthen other people, which is by having Amelia help someone achieve their desires.

Dawn wants to keep her people happy and safe, and for that, she believes that the path of light, that is, of the Light God, is the right one. And while helping Amelia, she is sure that she is doing the work of the Light God, thus earning blessings for her people. And because she is fulfilling her wish, she benefits a little from the demonic energy that Amelia generates.

So Dawn is just as eager to find Lucien as Amelia, but not for the same reasons, of course. Dawn wants to do as Amelia said and turn the terrible demon into a loyal servant of Light God.

When the group arrived on a large hill beside the sea, Amelia stopped, making all the troops expectant for a rest.

Envy couldn’t help but question Amelia. ’Oh, didn’t you plan to surround the city?’

Amelia looked all over the place, looking at the large open space. ’I’m not sure... Maybe he has a good plan. Choosing the location of the battle will certainly be an advantage for us.’

Envy laughed in Amelia’s mind. ’Are you afraid of his women?’

Amelia instinctively shook her head. ’Of course not! I just think that fighting here in this open space will prevent him from doing dirty tricks, and it will also be better to show the superiority of our army.’

Envy likes to provoke Amelia, but she also fears that Lucien and Lust can win the battle. ’Yes, I agree. Going after them can be very bold. But will he come here willingly when he can stay defensive?’

’My brother is not a coward.’ Amelia replied in an upset tone.

Envy couldn’t help laughing even more. Amelia clearly loves Lucien a lot, but here she is with an army to intimidate him...

Of course, Envy loves Amelia’s chaotic feelings, especially her jealousy and "envy" she already feels because of Lucien’s wives.

Amelia looked at Dawn. "We are going to set up camp here. Also, can you contact our spies in Portgreen city?"

Dawn quickly nodded. "Yes, my lady, but it will take a few hours to send the message from here."

"Then have them to deliver a message to the King," Amelia replied while her eyes sparkled with expectation.
