Chapter 174: Battle In The Empire Part Two
[AN: Bonus Chapter 1/7]
"Your Majesty, we can not sit around any longer. If we do not send out our troops, the capital will fall without resistance!" A tall man in his fifties walked into the throne room. His golden expensive looking armor showed that he was not a man of low standing.
"General, what do you mean? Did I not tell you to pull your men back and let them through?" Emperor Botus yelled.
"Your Majesty, it is not our soldiers but the citizens. They all look down on beastkin. Right now, half of the southern part of the city is already turned to ash. Our own people are working against us, and that is not the worst of it. The Rural Kingdom has also invaded our lands and has already annexed five cities. If this goes on, the empire will fall!" The General explained his expression grave.
Hearing everything that has been happening, Emperor Botus"s chest had become tight again. After a moment of calming his nerves, Emperor Botus let out a long sigh as the pain in his chest eased. "Call all soldiers back to the capital. I would rather lose a few cities than let the capital fall. If the capital falls, then the entire empire will be lost. Take your men and control the citizens. If these powerful beastkins still keep going on a rampage, then we will have no choice but to fight."
"As you wish, your Majesty." The general bowed his head before turning on his heel and leaving the throne room.
Ten minutes earlier, Botus capital city gates…
Kana and the rest walked through the gate and were greeted by a crowd of humans. These humans were not soldiers but citizens of the empire. Some who had witnessed the scene quickly ran off, not even warning the others, while the rest who had come too late glared at Kana and her group with pure hate in their eyes. One man who was not half bad looking with expensive looking clothing on pointed his fingers at Kana and her group as he yelled out: "You filthy beasts actually dare to enter our capital!? Boys quickly go and capture them so we can sell them off and make some quick coin."
"Yes, young master!" The group of men yelled in unison as they ran forward to capture Kana and her group.
"Why does this seem like a repeated event?" Kana asked as she watched the men coming towards her. Letting out a sigh, she opened her mouth and only said two words "[Dragon Breath]!"
Flames spewed from her mouth and expanded, covering the whole area. Even those who were not involved were instantly turned to ash, never mind the men coming towards her or the man dressed in expensive looking clothing. Her flames lit the nearby structures on fire, and then it began spreading rapidly. Soon half a city block was engulfed in flames. Then two city blocks which quickly turned into the half south side of the capital being burned to ash. Because the flames that were spreading were dragon flames, they were not going out easily, especially since kana"s [Magic Power] being so high. There were no humans around with magic power high enough to actually do anything about the flames. All they could do was become tinder as the fire spread further.
Kana looked at the apocalyptic scene in front of her. And laughed dryly… "I ummm… Opps…."
"Kana… I am starting to wonder who is more devastating, Aoi or you… Once melts people while the other burns people alive…. Both of you are truly scary. I can see the realm of G.o.ds being turned upside down as you begin your conquest to take over the entire realm." Yuthia teased.
"Shut up, you perverted G.o.ddess!" Kana tossed out a punch towards Yuthia, who quickly dodged.
"How Am I perverted!? I haven"t done anything perverted this entire time!" Yuthia yelled out.
"You keep staring at my handsome husband"s b.u.t.t. You have tried to touch his chest five times now, and you have tried to grab his…. Anyway, if you do not call this perverted, what would you call it!? If it wasn"t for the fact that I am always on guard against your little schemes, my handsome HUSBAND would have been taken advantage of five times over!" Kana yelled.
"No, I would have crippled her hands and legs if she actually touched. My body can only be touched by my wife." Creige cut in.
Sei, who was watching the couple and her girlfriend bicker, couldn"t help but chuckle. It was the first time she saw Yuthia so lively like this. She knew Yuthia was more of a shut in and did not get along with others well. So to see her bickering back and forth with Kana like they were sisters was very amusing. She also knew Yuthia"s antics were nothing more than her being her. She meant nothing special by her actions, so she wasn"t jealous of this. Sei walked over and grabbed Yuthia"s hand and interlocked her fingers with Yuthia"s, causing Yuthia to turn and smile. "Only Sei loves me most!"
"Still doesn"t mean you"re not a pervert." Kana snorted.
"You! d.a.m.n you, Kana, today we will fight it out!" Yuthia roared as she let go of Sei"s hand and charged at Kana.
"Bring it on, you d.a.m.n pervert." And at this moment, both Kana and Yuthia completely forgot what their main goal was as they began fighting with each other, not caring for the destruction that was happening around them.
Creige watched Kana, who was happily throwing punches at Yuthia with a warm gaze. Next to him stood Sei, who had the same expression as she watched Yuthia. "These two were meant to be good friends. It seems. I guess Yuthia"s interest in Kana had gone from interest into a friends.h.i.+p that will last an eternity."
"My wife is very kind hearted. I think Yuthia sees that, as I can tell she is the same. Although she is very perverted..." Creige replied.
"Yeah… If she wasn"t such a pervert, she would be the perfect girlfriend. Well… I still love her either way. Good thing Yuthia put up the barriers, otherwise, these two would not be able to bond like this."
