Chapter 455: Orphan and Widow (Part 1)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jola did not seize the opportunity from behind then. He was not injured all this while. When the enemy retreated, he suddenly sped up and chased after them on his feet. The sword aura swept over and a three foot long sword ray appeared, he killed over twenty people in one shot.

Jola then reached his greatest extent. To rip through magic armor with a sword aura by force was a big expense and he increased his speed forcefully to chase after the fleeing horses.

“I wasted my two-hundred people.” A mysterious voice rang out and Saleen immediately locked down the location of the voice.

Right at the back of the campsite, there was a strong scent.

Lex looked calm, as though she already knew of the enemy’s existence long ago.

“Your men are almost all dead. You only appeared now, is there any special trick that you are pulling?” Lex sounded calm, one could not hear any fluctuation of emotion in her voice.

“Of course, my double faced strong calvary had two lives each. The battle is just getting started,” the treacherous voice reverberated in the air. Nailisi creased her eyebrows and wanted to dash out.

Saleen held her back and said, “It’s okay. Lex can take care of them.”

Lex nodded and replied, “Go ahead then.”

Just when Lex spoke, the calvary that was chopped before the campsite started twisting their bodies to stand up. The two Black Metal Swordsmasters pretended they did not see it, but drew their long swords and leapt towards the back of the campsite.

The magic chariot before the campsite was suddenly giving out a mumbling noises. It was the four mages chanting at the same time.

When they practiced to the level of grand mages, many spells did not require magic incantations, let alone to sing with special syllables. Such complicated release of magic could only mean one thing. That was a magic that the four grand mages did not master entirely. It belonged to an intermediate magic that was extremely complicated.

The magic chariot played a role in growing and stabilizing and the four grand mages still had to use an incantation to release such magic. Saleen could not help but push open the window to look outside.

He saw it was suddenly dark before the campsite as though something was blocking off the star lit sky. Then a cloud of soft and gentle white rays burst into full bloom and soared up to cloud level in the night sky.

The magic cavalry that intended to stand up were shined upon by the white rays of lights. They were like snowmen that were under the hot sun, they gradually grew weak and fell down. The magic armor on their bodies was melted like candy, it slowly deformed and melted down.

Then, Saleen heard sad and shrill cries from the enemy soldiers. Underneath the masks of the magic cavalry, there seemed to be hidden magic beasts. The noises that they made did not sound like humans at all.

The voice behind the campsite became terrified, but angry, “The polar night aurora?! You! You…”

The voice turned shrill and sonorous at the end. It was obviously a woman’s voice.

“Of course I know who you are; you are the evil mage that leads the pink army. If you were to be able to live this long, you spent thirty years to put together such an army of double faced strong calvary, right?” Lex’s voice dispersed in the night sky and spread extremely far.

Saleen was stern, Lex knew who the enemy was all along, but she had not told him.

Lex looked and him and smiled. She said, “Don’t take it to heart. The pink army is specialized in rearing miniature magic beasts and they are good at eavesdropping. If I didn’t hide it from you, they wouldn’t be fooled.”

The polar night aurora was a restorative magic. It required many mages to prepare simultaneously with the assistance of special equipment to be released. Those four mages were not willing to leave the magic chariots as they were waiting for the double face strong cavalry all this time.

The double face strong cavalry was an existence in between spirit of the dead and puppet. Normally they had human scent and wisdom. The spell was much stronger than the darkness warriors. Under the revival state of the second form, intermediate magic was almost nullified and could only fight against it.

Every magic had its weakness, the magic that the double faced strong cavalry was weak to was the polar night aurora. A pure light magic had a definite damage towards double edged strong cavalry, but it would not be like now. It melted all of them into wax figures.

Lex continued to talk to Saleen, “I dragged longer at Bitter Water Prefecture, but did not return to your city immediately. I was preparing special equipment. This time, the journey wouldn’t be peaceful. No matter how well we hide our chariots, people with bad intentions would be able to tell. If we didn’t have these chariots, I would have prepared mechanical puppet to replaced them. Those were things that attract greedy eyes.”

Saleen was at a loss for words. Lex planned very carefully with every conceivable possibility taken into account, she must have organized beforehand about what kind of enemy she might run into and made relevant preparation for battle. Compared to him, who went into Chaotic Swamp thoughtlessly, she was much stronger. He also knew the characteristics of the double faced strong cavalry. If these things were to take their second form, he had no other way to face them and could only flee.

As for magic like polar night aurora, even if he was a sorcerer, he would not be able to release it.

Lex continued talking to Saleen, her tone got gentler as she said, “You are different compared to before. As you have a city now, you can’t do everything on your own. The people under you, depending on what ability they have, appoint them to do related matters. Our focus should still be practicing magic.”

“You are right.” Saleen knew that Lex was giving him good advice, he could not invest all his mental power in inexhaustible tasks.

“Lex, you are really amazing. This time, I lost. Do you really think that you could go back to Bitter Water Prefecture alive? There are more people waiting for you ahead.”

“Hahahaha….” The hidden woman laughed maliciously and her voice suddenly stopped.

After a while, Saleen smelled a whiff of blood. He then felt a kind of mental power, the assassin by Lex’s side took action.

Saleen could not help but asked, “Did he kill her?”

Lex shook her head and said, “She escaped. The leader of the pink army is not so easily killed.”

“What it this pink army?” Saleen gained more and more magic knowledge, but he could hardly be concerned about different kinds of mysterious power on the mainland.

“The story is long.” Lex relaxed her body and laid against the soft cushions. The swordsmen outside were cleaning up the battlefield. As there was nothing around, she was in the mood to explain the story to Saleen in detail.

“It was about thirty years ago, there was a genius in the Tanggulasi Empire. He was unmatched by anyone. Both his magic and fighting skills were at a terrifying level.

“That is impossible!” Saleen shouted. That fact toppled his understanding towards the world.

Once a person formed magic chords, they could not practice for the sword aura. Magic warriors were actually only magic apprentices that changed their profession. They could only cast simple grade-0 magic and activate the low level magic on equipment, but it was definitely impossible for them to use intermediate magic.

Similarly, if a person practiced the sword aura and could embody it on a weapon, they would not be able to practice for magic chords. Saleen read rather ancient magic books, the most recent he read was at least three-hundred years old. He had no idea about what happened in the Tanggulasi Empire.

“It was real. My uncle saw it with his own eyes.”

Lex’s uncle was of course Prince Safilos. Saleen had a strong impression of the person. After he became a grand mage, he was the only one that made him feel fearful.

Although the Great Chanake was much stronger, he was more like a senior. Safilos was a cold Golden Grand Swordmaster. If Saleen were to block before him, Safilos only needed one sword to solve a grand mage like him without the power of a counter attack.

If a person like Safilos saw it with his own eyes, it would not be fake.

“The Tanggulasi King thought highly of the genius and gave him a title of nobility to command a large number of troops at a young age. He was given the title of Marquis. Although the titles of nobility in Tanggulasi are exaggerated. A first Marquis, with another promotion,entered him to the empire’s inner circle and he became one that could affect the nation’s fate. Who would have expected that the bastard triggered the Tanggulasi King somehow.”

“Triggered?”

“Mm. No one knew what happened. Some say that he abducted the king’s consort, some said that he took the soldiers pay and provision, and some even said he was secretly conspiring with the Qin Empire. Anyway, the Tanggulasi King gave an order to take his life.”

“Is he dead?”

“Back then the pope wanted to rescue him from the Tanggulasi King, but the old King did not listen to the pope’s advice and tens of thousand soldiers closed in on him. Of course, he escaped.

That ending did not surprised Saleen. If this person did not escape, there would not be the pink army then.

“It’s not weird that he fled. What shocked people was that he brought along his family. He brought all his wives with him, without leaving any one of his loved ones behind in the Marquis residence.

“All his wives?”

“Yeah, that man was very lustful. If he were to like a woman, he would find a way to get them to his side. Before he ran away, he had married seven wives and one of them was royalty in the Tanggulasi Empire.”

Saleen thought, this man was like Jola. Though Jola was not as strong as him, he could not abduct the Cloudflow King’s daughter even.

“The Tanggulasi King went on a rampage because the man didn’t run to Cloudflow, but he entered the God Grace Duchy. God Grace Duchy was a dependant state of Tanggulasi Empire. In the end, the man was living pretty well in God Grace Duchy. The Tanggulasi King gave an order to have God Grace Duchy send him back to Tanggulasi. God Grace Duchy refused in the name of the pope.”

“Later on, the man built the pink army?”

“No, the man… he was struck by lightning and died. The Grand Duke of the God Grace Duchy wanted his wives as the man left his orphans and widows in God Grace City.

“What happened in the end?” Sika could not help but ask. Any tough woman would be curious. She was naturally curious towards this kind of thing.

“The Grand Duke of God Grace Duchy was killed by the widows. The widows fled from God Grace Duchy and built the pink army.”

“Killed by lightning…” Saleen mumbled to himself. He thought about the power of thunder that he saw in the hell of god’s punishment. He had already got in touch with this secret, why should he go back and forth over other matters? As long as he mastered the power of thunder and lightning, even if it was Safilos, he didn’t have to worry.

“That’s pitiful!” Nailisi said unctuously with tears in her eyes.
