Chapter 211: Various Dark Secrets Before the War of Kurrus Fortress (Part 1)
Translator: The Light
Editor: Entelechy
Kurrus Fortress was controlled by the main force of Marquis Charles. Steinbeck Fief’s army had occupied the nearby Summy Plains, confronting Marquis Charles from Saka Fortress, formerly built by Mercenary King Gruz.
Not counting his behind-the-scenes dark forces, Clyde’s side had more than 20,000 troops while Marquis Charles had more than twice as many at 40,000 troops. At present, his ally, Earl Royle was withholding his troops, taking a wait and see stance. Originally, they thought that Steinbeck Fief’s army would quickly collapse, but in the war of Aldington River, Steinbeck Fief’s army had forced Earl Winissa and her over 30,000 troops to surrender without suffering great casualties, making Earl Royle choose to become a bystander. Only after seeing who would win would he throw his support behind a side.
If Marquis Charles won, Earl Royle would dispatch his troops to chase Clyde’s party. If Marquis Charles suffered defeat, Earl Royle would definitely betray his teammate without any hesitation and flee with his over 30,000 troops. Regardless of what happened, he would retain the troops in his hand. Who won and lost was not important.
Clyde himself was already lurking in Kurrus Fortress. Marquis Charles was entirely unaware that his daughter Sivia was providing the enemy commander a special service while he held a meeting. As Clyde was about to reach peak pleasure, some uninvited guests came. These monsters intruded into Sivia’s room.
Sivia was focused on giving her devil master service, so she didn’t notice their arrival. The monsters, ogres, broke down her door. Maintaining his posture, Clyde ordered his shadows to take care of them. Several black energy tentacles appeared and immediately pierced through their feet and emerged from their throats.
“Mas... Master, this is...”
“Sivia, it seems that you are not safe here!”
“These ogres were summoned by someone. Other than me, the only dark magicians nearby are those Dark Shamans.”
Sivia finally noticed the intruders: small-sized ogres. Their height was about that of a normal human soldier’s, and their combat power was not too great. However, they were strong enough to ambush and defeat an unguarded magician. From those ogres’ tall and thin statures, they were of the explosive speed type who would make a sudden vicious attack to quickly finish off an opponent. Unfortunately, they were not faster than the black energy tentacles, and Clyde had gained the initiative by striking the first blow.
After Clyde dealt with the ogre issue, he directly took Sivia away without letting her protest. Now, not even a thread adorned her body, but she could only let Clyde carry her away. When Marquis Charles rushed over with his guards upon hearing the clamor, Miss Sivia had already disappeared. Clyde had even erased the ogres’ corpses, leaving only a taunting note: “Your daughter is truly wonderful.” Marquis Charles nearly burst with rage at the other party’s savagery.
“That bastard! Seal Kurrus Fortress: I don’t believe that he can escape from here!”
“Lord Marquis, Miss Sivia has many defensive magic items, so it’s impossible for there to not have been at least a small disturbance! Even if an assassin carried out a sneak attack, she would have had a chance to counterattack.”
“What!? Are you saying that Sivia ran away by herself?”
“This subordinate doesn’t dare to make irresponsible remarks. I’ll immediately go seal the fortress.”
Marquis Charles’s guard was an experienced soldier. Although he was suspicious, he didn’t dare to guess in light of Marquis Charles’s face. If Miss Sivia had run away with the other person by herself, the entire matter would change from kidnapping to eloping, making Marquis Charles lose even more face.
As Kurrus Fortress sealed itself off, the atmosphere of Saka Fortress remained light. Mercenary King Gruz had been defeated so quickly that most of the fortifications of Saka Fortress had been left intact, so Steinbeck Fief’s troops could directly use these fortifications even if Marquis Charles immediately attacked. Since both sides’ defensive fortifications were intact, whoever attacked first would suffer. Therefore, there was a temporary, uneasy stalemate. It all depended on whether Earl Royle would bring his over 30,000 troops to support Marquis Charles and break this deadlock.
Clyde returned with a beauty. Upon returning to Saka Fortress, Sivia finally met Anna. While looking at Anna’s hot figure, he seemingly recalled a former wicked plan. Anna wore just a white bathrobe, her hair still wet. Due to its thinness, it was practically transparent, revealing all her secrets. She didn’t even wear any panties below, so her white legs and open lapel tempted people to commit a crime.
“Sivia, you came! Your mouth... were you secretly nourished?”
“Anna, enough! Why are you speaking to me like this?”
Sivia blushed but her tone was fierce. In Clyde’s view, there was no great difference between the two. One was almost bare, while the other was completely bare. Anna took Sivia to the bathroom to clean up those white marks on her body. Without Sivia there, Clyde had no misgivings about attacking Kurrus Fortress since he didn’t care for anyone on the other side; he only needed to avoid killing Marquis Charles.
Clyde unconsciously followed Anna and Sivia into the bathroom guarded by beautiful knights of Paladin Princess Alicia’s beautiful knight regiment. When they saw a man approaching the ladies’ bathroom, they prepared to attack, but their faces reddened after noticing Clyde. Letting go of the pommels of their swords, they turned their heads, pretending to see nothing. If the master wanted to do something bad, they wouldn’t dare to interfere.
In the misty bathroom were many indistinct white figures, increasing the sense of mystery. There were two ladies’ bathrooms in Saka Fortress: one for the Human Race and another for the other races; there was no male bathroom. Anna had taken Sivia to the one for humans. Clyde’s status was special, and he could enter either bathroom.
“Anna, how could you bring a man... Mas... Master, you came!”
“Kylie, am I not welcome?”
“No... no, Master! Ya!”
She was one of the ladies from the three Earls, Anna’s close girlfriend Miss Kyile. This flax-haired beauty’s figure was the same type as Anna’s: well-developed and hot. As Clyde had entered the bathroom, Kylie had just finished bathing and been about to leave, but the devil master intercepted this white lamb and made her continue bathing.
Clyde sat on a small stool, enjoying a special service. Anna and Kylie, one in front and the other at the back, provided their devil master a special service. (Editor note: lmao rimjob) Their red faces belied their lack of hesitation. Kylie leaned forward and copied Sivia’s former posture to serve the devil, using her plump bosom to squeeze his source of evil. Because of her hot figure and bigger size, Clyde felt far greater pleasure that that time with Sivia. Meanwhile, Anna used her smooth and soft bosom to wash the devil’s back. Her bosom that was comparable to Kylie’s in size and plumpness doubled Clyde’s pleasure.
Sivia temporarily rested, sitting in the common bathing pool with the similarly black-haired swordswoman Betty. Miss Betty was one of the three Earl’s daughters and also Anna’s close girlfriend. She pressed Sivia’s fragrant shoulders, helping the other party to wash her body. The other human beauties shyly watched from their original spots, not daring to move in fear of becoming Clyde’s next target. Other than Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Princess Verly and a select few, most of them didn’t have the special physique necessary to bear this devil master’s attack like the next door other races’ beauties.
In the midst of this ambiguous atmosphere, Princess Saras walked to Clyde’s side since she had to personally report some matters. Moreover, it was only a matter of time until she completely delivered herself to the other party. She didn’t mind it being a bit early. Now, Clyde’s attention focused on Kylie and Anna, so he didn’t wish to put his hands on her.
“Master, the three tycoon clans have sent envoys; it seems they want to probe our attitude. Since you were not here, I didn’t reply to them then. I wanted to know your intentions first.”
“They are merchants bent solely on profit. We won’t meddle in this drama. They can go look for someone else. I... By the way, Saras, what benefits did they promise?”
While passionately giving a righteous speech, he suddenly switched topics. Princess Saras almost couldn’t keep herself from laughing out loud. This devil master was too unethical. One second, he insisted on not playing according to the three tycoon clans’ will, and in the next, he wanted the other parties’ benefits.
The three tycoon clans controlled Adrian Empire in secret. After the battle of Olm Fortress, they had discovered that Steinbeck Fief was no weak chicken but rather a true rival of Marquis Charles. Therefore, out of their individual economic interests, these tycoon clans had sent envoys in hopes of resolving jurisdiction over the Needham Plains.
The most unethical one was the Douglas Clan. As the behind-the-scenes financial backer of Marquis Charles, they proposed that as long as Steinbeck Fief followed their directions, they would abandon Marquis Charles. These tycoon clans only looked after their own interests: alliances between aristocrats were superficial, nothing more.
