Chapter 243 - Fireworks
Chapter 243 - Fireworks
Lucien's peculiar motivational speech left his female troops incredibly motivated as well as horny.
Then he kisses Mia and Ella on the lips before flying to Marie's floating platform. Lucien hugs the cute Marie while talking to all of his wives.
"We will keep the melee troops in a long line, and behind them, groups of archers and mages."
Then Lucien caresses Marie's face before sucking on her sweet lips. She stands on her tiptoes while blushing.
"You, my dear, together with Lena, and Rose, will be the pillars of the line. Each of you will maintain a significant space from each other, thus creating five sections."
"You can defend our troops with magical barriers or attack the enemy troops according to the situation."
While explaining, Lucien also kisses the other girls next to Marie. He doesn't want any of his girls to feel neglected.
"Marie and Lena will maintain the two westernmost section of the line. The middle section will be defended by our troops' group of defensive mages."
After kissing all the girls on Marie's floating platform, Lucien jumps to Lena's platform.
She hugs on his arms quickly and starts the kiss, which ends up lasting a little longer than expected, leaving Marie jealous.
Lucien slaps Lena's ass before kisses the other girls, finishing the kiss section with Lorelai. He caresses her face as he continues talking to everyone.
"We are always mentally connected, so let me know of any problems and don't take unnecessary risks. I can fly to your sides quickly if you need any help or just recover demonic energy."
Lorelai, unlike the girls with the tattoo, cannot communicate with Lucien mentally, and because of that, she is a little sad.
He realizes that and kisses her again. "If you or any other troop is in trouble, just try to talk to one of the girls who will be close to you, and then, they will let me know about it."
Lorelai smiles as she feels Lucien's affection, which motivates her to keep trying her best to get the tattoo soon.
Lucien pats her head before flying to Rose's floating platform and starts to kiss the girls there as well. "Rose will lead the section on the east side of the central section."
In the current structure, Marie's group also consists of Anne, Kylee, Rebecca, and Ghilanna. While Anne, Kylee, and Rebecca will fight together with the troops on the ground, Ghilanna will stand next to Marie on the platform, firing arrows.
Lena's group also consists of Jeanne and Lorelai. While Jeanne and Lorelai will lead the troops on the ground, Lena will keep on her floating platform, using her spells and helping some archer troops to take advantage of the highground.
Although Maggie is now on Lena's floating platform, Lucien has trained her to lead the mage troops, which will now be in the central section of their lines. He needs one of his wives leading his troops to maintain mental communication with them.
Rose's group includes Noela, Madelyn, and Oya. Only mama tigress will fight on the ground while Neola will continue on the floating platform, firing her arrows, and Madelyn will use her wind magic.
Although Madelyn is not as powerful as Lucien's other wives, she can help Neola a lot, using the wind to guide her arrows faster to her targets.
Lucien continues to stroke Oya and Madelyn as he finishes explaining how they will fight. "Finally, Cassidy, Mia, Astrid, Aria, and Ella will fight in the section closer to the beach while Angela and I deal with the sh.i.p.s."
He smiles at Angela. "Angela and I will deal with the sh.i.p.s quickly, and then we will start to help Cassidy's group, thus destroying our enemy's army from left to right."
All of Lucien's wives nod as they agree with his plans. However, Lucien feels that Rose is not really satisfied, so he approaches her.
He hugs her while asking affectionately. "What's the problem, my sweet Rose?"
Rose hugs Lucien's waist tightly as she whispers. "I can also help you destroy the sh.i.p.s. I am as powerful as Angela."
Everyone can see that Rose is jealous of Angela. That started when Angela reached the second layer of the Mortal Realm.
Rose's recent concerns about her life with Lucien away from her mother and the possibility that she could want to leave her husband to be with Lucien has been a concern for Lucien as well.
But that is not something that Lucien can solve now. All he can do is keep trying his best to make Rose happy and satisfied. And her jealousy for Angela is something that is becoming harmful to everyone.
Lucien pats Rose's head. "My dear, you are a smart girl. You know I'm just using the advantage of Angela's ice and water affinity to deal with this situation faster. I never doubted, and I will never doubt your potential. You are my incredibly talented little vampire."
"Really?" Rose asks, clearly acting spoiled as she rubs her face on Lucien's chest.
He smiles as he strokes her hair. "Of course, my dear. You don't have to be in doubt. We have the soul connection, in addition to the vampire blood connection, so you know my feelings for you."
Rose smiles while feeling bad about being jealous and acting spoiled. "I know, hubby. It's just that Angela is so amazing, and you seem to have that connection better than ours... I can't help but..."
Lucien rests his forehead on Rose's. As the base of his horns grows from the top of her forehead, it does not hinder him from doing many things. And of course, the girls feel no discomfort when touching or being touched by his horns.
"Shh... Rose, my love, insecurity is not one of your characteristics. Whenever you doubt how powerful our connection is, remember that drinking blood is bizarre for any race other than vampires, but I do it with you, only with you, my incredible, beautiful, and perfect vampire. "
Rose can't help feeling silly for letting her jealousy and insecurity blind her from how Lucien loves her.
Not only her, but all of his other wives know how special and unique they are to him and how much he really loves them.
"I love you so so so so much, hubby!!!" Rose jumps into Lucien's arms as she looks him in the eye and cuts her own lips with her cute little fangs.
"I love you so much too." Lucien holds Rose by the thighs as she wraps her legs around his waist. Then he smiles at her and kisses her bloody lips intensely.
Rose makes a small cut on Lucien's lips as they do their unique and special bloody kiss, which boosts them for demonic energy and also because of the blood exchange between a vampire and her partner for life.
The kiss doesn't last long as Lucien stops it while looking at Rose with a sorry expression. "We will do more later. Now we have a battle to win."
"Mm." Rose stops hugging Lucien while she licks his blood and saliva still on her lips. She knows it was not cool to act spoiled, but she is thrilled that he calmed her heart even in a moment like that.
Lucien strokes Rose's face again as he talks to ally his wives. "The mages of the enemy troops are preparing their attacks."
"They will likely try to bombard us with spells until their mages run out of mana and need a rest, so the melee troops will take action by attacking our lines."
At that point, all Lucien's wives can see the Light Empire troops within two hundred meters of them. In half-moon formation, they surrounded the entire front of Lucien's troop line while the flanking group approaches the back of the adventurer and mercenary groups.
The formation of the Light Empire army is based on a large line of melee troops with big blessed shields, a troop of mages behind them, and an archer troop further behind, ready to fire a cloud of arrows at Lucien's group as soon as the mages' attack is over.
But unlike Lucien's troops, behind the Light Empire's archer troops, there's another line of melee troops and so on many lines of various differents troops, completing the one hundred and eighty-nine thousand soldiers while ten thousand are flanking by the land and a thousand are in the sh.i.p.s.
While the Light Empire's mages prepare their attack, Lucien's troops fear nothing. Although their front troops do not have shields, the girls trust completely on Rose, Marie, Lena, and their troop of mages to defend them.
Rose prepares to defend her section while Angela will defend the easternmost section from attacks from land and from the sh.i.p.s, which are likely to be full of mages, focused entirely on ranged attacks.
Lucien flies to Maggie's side. She hugs his waist, and they fly towards the troop of mages.
Maggie is not only perfect for leading the group of mages because she is a powerful mage, but also because her vision abilities allow her to have many advantages that only increase by her being at the center of the battlefield.
He kisses Maggie's lips before flying to the front of the troops.
Lucien stabilizes his flight a hundred meters from the ground while looking at the great Light Empire army in front of him.
They look like an infinite sea of
soldiers, but their numbers only make Lucien more excited for a good fight.
Then he sees the lights of the mages' spells behind the front line of the Light Empire soldiers.
Lucien will be using mental communication most of the time to give orders to his troops, but sometimes he wants to use his energy to boost his voice, speaking to all of his troops as well, and thus increasing their morale.
Now, to start the battle well, he uses his boosted voice. "Barriers up!"
Immediately after Lucien's words, two ice barriers over a hundred meters in a concave form grow from the ground in front of the troops' on the right side of their line.
A large bright white barrier grows in front of the troops on the central area of
the lines. Because it is formed by various elements and many SS-rank mages, the barrier of the mage group is almost as strong as that of the Mortal Realm girls.
Rose's big stone barrier is also ready and, along with Angela's ice barrier, creates a giant magic shield in front of Lucien's troops.
Because Lucien is flying in front of the group of mage troops, he is behind the mixed white barrier, which is transparent, allowing him to see the battlefield in front of him. The ice barriers are translucent, while Rose's stone barrier is opaque.
Without Dawn and Light Envoy, one of the strongest generals of Light Empire leads the central troops of their army while his mates, the other generals, lead their troops, following his call.
That general looks at the big magic shield of the Lucien girls with a mocking expression on his face. "Tsk, so mediocre..."
Then he raises his sword and begins to lower it, aiming at Lucien's troops slowly. "MAGES..."
The mages, who have been preparing their spells for more than a minute, look on the big shield of Lucien's girls and wait for the order of the generals, who are attentively awaiting the main general's order.
When the main general's sword is aligned in the direction of the big magic shield, he gives the order. "FIRE, NOW!!!"
"FIRE!!!"
"FIRE!!!"
"FIRE!!!"
"FIRE!!!"
"FIRE!!!"
"FIRE!!!"
Following the order of the main general, the other generals and captains yell as well, ordering all the front lines mages to fire their spells over the melee troops towards the great magic shield of Lucien's army.
*WHSOOOOOOOOSHHHHH*
Rocks, ice spikes, fireballs, among other different spells from the mages of the Light Empire, create a big shadow on the battlefield while also creating a beautiful spectacle in the sky.
The generals, as well as all the troops of the Light Empire, smile while they are sure that their great attack will easily destroy the magic shield of Lucien's army, causing significant damage to them.
But while all those spells fly towards Lucien's troops, they fear nothing as they continue to smile, excited by the shock that the enemy army will feel when they see the result of their attack.
Lucien smiles as he slowly flaps his wings in the air and watches the spectacles of fireworks, as that is all that attack means to them, a visual spectacle.
L.u.s.t materializes her body in Lucien's arms, which are always ready to hug her.
She kisses his lips. "Of all the thousands of battles I have participated in until now, the most pleasant ones are with you, my love."
