Chapter 96: Dispersing The Team
"Rehabab, I want you to take your summons, scour the area and kill every being that draws breath, there should be a lot of deserters from this battle…"
"My men do not desert" Hannah cut in, throwing Blake a glare which he entertained while continuing to give his order.
"There should be a lot of deserters from the battle but since commander Hannah insists that her men do not desert, if you find anyone make sure to give them a gruesome death, whilst reminding them that their suffering was because they dared to desert the army.
When you're done with the deserters, go north, you'll go past a village and after a while arrive before a group of people. Kill all of them.
If you find any female rankers, capture them if you can, and then when you're done, don't stay in this region, cover your tracks and go into hiding, I'll reach out to you.
Rehabab nodded his head at Blake and then he looked towards the two women, the infernal demon clearly aware of how dangerous they were.
"My lord please be cautious of them," the demon said his words ringing directly in Blake's mind and then he turned and left, his steaming dog-like summons going with him.
"You care for the deserters but not the villagers whom you forced out of their homes and seized their property" Blake asked a curious look on his face but Hannah ignored his question.
"You've gotten your screaming whore, can I leave now."
"Not yet, I still got some questions for you."
"What questions, ask them quickly, your sight is getting more and more revolting to look at each second," Hannah said with disgust.
"Well, you should just let her go, she looks like she really needs the space," Lena said from the side, her hair which had been scattered moments ago now smoothened out and sent to fall behind her.
Initially, Blake had wanted Hannah to stay so he could question her about this ridiculous war that had occurred, knowing that there was more involved in this skewed battle that saw an army with a third-order commander facing an army commanded by a fourth-order being.
Looking back at his reason for wanting this knowledge, curiosity and his desire to complete his ongoing mission from Lilith being at the top, Blake decides to take a step back after all as Lena said, Hannah could do with some space and Blake had long-term plans for her.
Lena had already miraculously shaved off a portion of her will with her actions and Blake had no desire to worsen her mental state, and besides if his thoughts were correct, then he was more than sure that no matter what, Hannah would always return to him.
"You can leave," Blake said his words surprising both women who looked at him in surprise and a second later, Hannah stood to her feet and bolted away.
"I didn't know my charms were that effective" Lena said her hands on her waist as she stared at Blake with a smile.
"Did you really kill Kate?"
"Yes, I wiped away and shredded her soul. Just who did she think she was having you give her all the attention and praises. I mean it's not like I mind that since I know how relentless you can be in bed, but still, for you to….."
"Shut up" was all Blake had to say for Lena's mouth to close itself despite the woman's struggles.
Moving towards Lena, Blake put her on his shoulders and then he bolted away.
As Blake moved, he thought of Kate and could only sigh at the matter, though at the time she had been killed, he didn't have the luxury of getting emotional, not that there were any emotions in him at the moment, but considering the huge service the woman had rendered to him, he could not help but believe she desired better.
In no time Blake began thinking about the fragility of life when three gentle taps to his back brought him out his contemplations and Lena spoke to him, the strength of his earlier command having weakened over time and been broken by the woman.
"Where are we headed."
"A nearby town or preferably city"
"Oh, so that's why you were all too happy to let Hannah and Rehabab go, you trust me to be the only one who can seamlessly blend into human society with you, and well there is also the fact that you know letting me out of your sight is a very bad idea."
"I wouldn't have minded Hannah."
"Hmm, well knowing you, you probably have no idea where we are at the moment and are just running blind, but don't worry, I know a place."
Though Blake would have loved to quickly return to Caramel Town and go meet Thalia considering Kate was now dead and the dungeon without master, he was also wary of being tracked after all what had just happened was a war with seemingly no survivors, who knew the capabilities the kingdom and churches possessed to figure out what had happened and track them.
........
"A demonic ritual, someone turned the battlefield into a ritual ground. How is that possible, you are aware that there was a fourth-order demon present right?"
"Sir I'm not sure, the battlefield is an entire mess, our historians and wardens are trying to make sense of what transpired last night but at the moment they are just tripping on themselves.
"What is suspected to have been an unearthed grave was found on a hill not too far off, and when we crossed energies from the grave with the most prominent and powerful aura from the battlefield, a match was made."
"Prominent and powerful aura, are you talking about the 4th-order demon you mentioned."
"No, Your Grace, I am talking about a completely different presence, though the impact of this presence is absent on the battlefield, it is dominatingly present in the atmosphere.
"Explain"
"Some of the first and second order soldiers collapsed to their knees and began venerating when they entered some areas of the battlefield."
"Any survivors"
"No, your grace,"
"Commander Hannah and the demon."
"Though we are yet to get any evidence that could point to her death, she has completely disappeared.
The good news though is that with the Demon's wanton display of his abilities, though we couldn't get a whiff of his track, the historian got a very clear image of him, and it's like we suspected, it was an infernal demon."
"That's enough Captain Sigil, you can leave"
"Your grace" the captain bowed and left. Leaving a rather slim dark-haired man to lean into the chair of his office with a groan while watching a man silently emerge from the shadow of his office.
"Now why the long face, your wife apparently defeated a sovereign demon and perhaps even an infernal.
There is a chance that she is alive, I don't know about you, but I really want to tap that ass one more time"
