Ghoul King's Harem

Chapter 258 258: First Wave - Testing The Walls

Although they had finished the informal meeting, before the two could truly take power, there were several official actions to take and various hoops to jump through, however for the higher circle of power of the small kingdom, which will be renamed once the two are wed to the Kingdom of Arcadia.[1] 

"Darling, we finally made it." A slightly drunk Stella giggled as she sat on his lap while Sarah hugged his right arm, muttering about making a litter of babies so her mother would shut up and stop trying to steal him.

What Alexander didn't know is the reason the capital would be called Luxia and the Kingdom Arcadia was because Claudia, Brunhild, Carmine, Francesca and Valuleala gathered together and decided to make it a kingdom of all inhuman and foreign beasts, a bastion of acceptance be them human, demon, orc, goblin or fairy.

Thus, they planned to arrange the different parts for the future rules.

At first, Claudia was against it but then realised the power and force behind Alexander and knew that she should bet everything on the man who could bring together so many races like her grandmother dreamed of a kingdom or empire that had all the races together like a family.

She didn't believe anyone could do it and never tried, but somehow, in her mind, she believed that Alexander could do it.

'It seems my life will become both exciting and difficult in the future...' Alexander thought as there were many women he wanted to marry and spend his life with, but he needed to deal with their emotional and physical desires and troubles and then face the kingdom's troubles.

He didn't want Stella to be burdened with the horrific side of the war and the future. 

"Stella, will you be alright, taking care of our city? You won't be lonely when we're fighting out there?"

 "Mmmm...." The drunk succubus swayed her hand before a huge amount of floating screens created with thin layers of magic crystal that reacted to her bloodline as her squad of over three hundred succubi were all shown— some were fighting nearby undead, others scouting at first. Alexander wondered why she showed this screen...

"Watch....hehe..." 

⟪Empower - Imperial Order⟫

The next moment, beautiful pink streams of mana began to flow from her body as Alexander watched the beautiful particles fluttering around her like millions of fairies as hundreds of pink lines formed under her feet... 

His gaze looked towards the screens to see the succubi fighting suddenly became much faster, their magic at least twice as destructive and helping out with the work and repairs seemed less difficult.

'She is using her dangerous skill as a support skill. While she is safe in the palace? How smart is my wife!?'

The skill was originally amazing, but he had told her it was far too dangerous to limit her combat power to boost the three hundred women by double their normal attributes and power.

So Alexander was trying to think of ways she could fight on the frontline instead... 'It seems my wife came up with this idea and even made her mother adjust the throne so she can watch the entire battle and support from safety.'

"Next, we need barriers and protection for the palace... something that can stop Stage Seven from damaging or attacking her while focused on her troops."

***

The festivities began to fade due to a warning bell and alarm ringing as several succubi hit the huge tower bell to garner attention from the city folk. 

Alexander was lying in bed with Sarah, Amy and Stella before quickly being awoken by the sharp sound of claws being sliced across a chalkboard.

Amy groaned loudly as Stella got up to dress quickly; Sarah nudged Alexander in annoyance, "Come on... I want to sleep more—even if I slept day and night, it wouldn't be enough cuddling and hugging you... Mmmm"

Alexander poked Sarah's perky left breast before climbing from the warmth of the large bed and heading for the armour his good friend MC'Alister made for him during their long process of fighting to the north. He was working on the finishing touches. 

A black fur collar with a fur hood attached to the back, the overcoat was like a trench coat with a wide front opening, and the undershirt was white with fine spider silk woven into the threads to make it more protective and flexible.

The moment he put it all on, the girls stopped for a moment to admire how sleek and handsome he looked, both smart and badass—while carrying his two eclipse katana, he rushed towards the window—two slits were opened in his back, the magic is woven into his armour only separating them once it detected him spreading them.

Stella quickly flew into Alexander's embrace, holding onto his arm as Sarah yawned tiredly while Amy just wrapped herself in a blanket, following Alexander with her gaze like a lost puppy towards him as the city descended into ordered chaos—children were running towards the shelters and older people protecting their children along the way, as dozens of fires and torches were lit on the beautiful white walls, now protected by thousands of succubi and female ghouls.

"Come on, Stella, you go to the throne room. It might be a small enemy, but you are needed, okay?" Alex stroked her hair, looking at Amy and Sarah with a wink. The lazy vampire was now dressed and coming towards him along with the eager lycan carrying her katana.

"Mmmm... then I go... a kiss?"

Alexander nodded at Stella's request, kissing her deeply for ten seconds before nodding towards the exhausted and saddened succubus. 

Sarah jumped high to kiss his lips similarly, whereas Amy was too short to push past them; he lifted her like a princess, staring into her crimson red eyes as their lips met—she leaned closer to whisper into Alexander's ear, "Get ready to love me when we return—it's unfair I can only kiss your lips while the rest can kiss and play with your huge rod all the time!"

His huge wings spread, a pair of black and red raven wings fluttering before he took the two of them and shot out the window while Stella flew towards the throne, meeting her mother. Claudia and Stella flew rapidly above the head of Carmine, who appeared to run alongside Brunhilde, while Francesca came flying with Valuleala by her side, all six entering the palace courtyard waiting by the throne.

Alexander watched Stella land on her golden throne covered in enchantments, glowing pink magic circles forming under Stella, connecting her to every succubus under her command before he spread his wings, diving towards the walls lined with men who served the kingdom and his ghouls of different sizes—Alexander landed neatly.

Then, feeling Sarah's fluffy tail rubbing against him in excitement, alongside Amy's warm and soft figure pressed upon him while licking her dry lips—she muttered, "I feel like the taste of those jerks has tainted my mouth... kiss me again later to wipe their tastes..."

Alexander nodded with a chuckle at Amy's honest tone, glancing at Sarah, whose amber eyes glowed crimson red and tail stiffened.

Her long katana dragged along the cobblestone as Sarah growled quietly, jumping onto the parapet wall—Alexander used the small roof upon the crenellations to walk lightly on top and stand beside Laura and Mildred, who were looking at the horde of more than ten thousand zombies above stage four.

There was a sense of excitement building as the army on this side was only close to eight thousand, and some were stage two helpers, yet Alexander felt his heart pumping, surging with glee.

lightsΝοvel A thrill of battle was starting to overtake him. Because of this battle, he didn't need to care for every unit. No, that was the job of the Military command.

Claire took over as the Vesta troops' grand commander, while Mildred was the archer commander dealing with ranged combat. Even the normal troops would follow her words.

Laura was in control of the more stealthy troops; forming an Assasin's Order seemed to be the plan, while currently, she had one hundred of them from the vesta. These would hunt the high-stage targets and be independent of the main forces.

Stella was the grand tactician— her ability allowed her to communicate with anyone close to two hundred metres to one of her succubus. Each troop had twenty of her units, so communication was instant. 

"Can you hear me, Alexander?" A voice sounded from beside him and inside his mind at once.

"Yes... can you hear my voice?" 

"Affirmative. Our mothers are using this battle to test us; let's show them the future king and queen's army's ability to crush this minor horde!"

"Okay—Claire, Mildred, Laura. Forward squads are ready, huh!?" Alexander spoke with confidence as he drew both swords—his movements quick and fluid as Sarah licked her sword while Amy placed a vial upon her dagger; it seemed she wasn't using her pistols today, twisting it tightly to melt and soak the blade.

Alexander stood on the walls, his face smiling as some hulking giants were letting the zombies climb up their bodies, grabbing several zombies and seeming to be aiming to throw them.

He pushed his swords forward, and two. Blood red magic circles formed at their tips, as over a dozen blood spears appeared in the air, his head motioning forwards as over five zombie heads were pierced from the sky while the archers laughed with joy.

Alexander waved his hands once, "Purge—First Wave! Throw 'em down!" His commanding tone entered everyone's hearts as they understood.

It was time to fight.
