Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 239 Final Kingdom Battle: Uxtan Officials Vs Twilight Officials (1)



Homura slammed her foot beside my face, causing me to jump slightly before Homura leaned in with an angry expression that sent a shiver down my spine.

"What the hell are you doing moping around when we've been working our ass off to maintain this kingdom!? Can't you at least lead the soldiers into battle!" Homura says.

Ah… that's right… The king and Lan are attacking this afternoon.

"YOUR HIGHNESS! Two powerful figures have appeared in the [Blood Swamp]! The commanders are requesting help immediately!" One of my maids says, charging into my room.

"You here that, now get your ass up and go," Homura says once more before storming out the room.

"*sigh*... I'm tired," I mutter before getting up and activating [Araes Dress].

As I walked down the hallway, I ran into Alexa, who seemed to be enjoying her job as my maid, but as I probably needed more human resources, I walked up to her and ordered her to come with me.

"A-as you wish," Alexa responds before dashing down the hallway to change into her proper clothes while also getting her prized bow.

As soon as I saw Alexa disappear, I used [Grand Mind Magic] to come in contact with my other two pets, who were hard at work with training their corps and my Water Corps.

'Bring your corps and follow me. Also, my Water Corps, you will be coming with us as you still need experience on land, but remember, you are not on the battlefield to fight, but to provide back up to anybody who seems to be struggling,' I say to all of the corps before summoning [Anapofeyktos Thanatos].

My red halo was still floating above my head, so I immediately deactivated it as I didn't want to waste any extra mana right now.

"Mother, may I come?" Zehar comes up to me and asks as soon as I pass his room.

"No, stay here. It's too dangerous as I'm not even sure that I'll survive," I respond before ruffling his hair a bit and making my way to the throne room where I saw my wives.

They all seemed calm and were already in their battle clothes which were pretty similar to what they normally wore.

"M-mommy, I'm sorry," Luna says, appearing from behind Kumo while tightly gripping onto her loose clothes.

"What are you apologizing for?" I respond while walking up to her, causing her to take a few steps back.

What am I doing… Scaring my children… How pitiful…

"I-I'm just sorry," Luna responds without even looking at me in the eyes.

"*sigh*... No, it's my fault for scaring you. How about we eat double the amount of Water Boa tonight," I say, walking up to Luna and kissing her lightly on the forehead.

"Yay!" Luna shouts, with Freya joining in as she appeared from the hallway behind us.

I smiled slightly before walking out of the castle with my wives and corps, who followed behind us.

The shadow corps followed in the shadows, the Air corps followed high up above us, and the water corps just followed behind us as there was no water around us.

"Yin, make sure the humans are actually preparing to help us and bring back my maids that are inside the Uxtan Kingdom. They should recognize you immediately so I don't have to explain as it will take too long," I say before picking up the pace and flapping my wings.

"As you wish," Yin responds.

FWOOSH

"Treyni, I was planning to propose earlier, but I honestly forgot, so please forgive me for now," I say to Treyni, who rode a wave of entangled grass, vines, and leaves that came from around us.

"It's fine… but you'll have to make it up to me, okay?" Treyni responds with a warm smile, sending a shiver down my spine.

Shit…

"Fine, but please go easy on me," I respond before stopping in place and slowly descending to the edge of the [Forest of Poison].

We had arrived at our first campsite, which was right on the edge of war. Only Owen and Olivia were here while the other commanders and armies were resting back in my kingdom.

A heavy scent of blood lingered in the air, and it wasn't from the [Blood Swamp] a couple of yards away but from the dying soldiers that are currently in tents trying to survive their heavy wounds.

"[Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei]," I mutter, causing thousands of white flames to coat the base camp and help all of the wounded soldiers heal.

"Where are they?" I ask Owen, who was trying to strategize with a panicked Olivia.

"We only have about 20 of our original 800 soldiers left due to this guy in mage robes. He is using every known type of magic and this unknown magic that we can't identify. It allows him to absorb the power of each mage on our side and grow his magic power," Owen says.

"I see… well, are there any other soldiers besides that guy?"

"Yes, there are 6 more, with 5 of them being horribly weak and another one being so strong that it's hard to even approach him. Just staying within a 20-meter radius of him made a cold sweat coat our back," Olivia says with tears of fear flowing down her face.

"Oi, stop crying," I say, but Olivia didn't stop and proceeded to have a panic attack right in front of us.

"Owen, take her away as you'll only get in the way," Aika says before cracking her neck and knuckles.

"As you wish," He replies before chopping the back of Olivia's neck and then throwing her over his shoulder.

"Shall we go?" Kumo says while warming up a bit.

"Hold on, there are still soldiers here," I say and use [Grand Mind Magic] to call all of them out of the tents.

"WE GREET THE QUEEN! ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!" The soldiers say as soon as I felt 2 powerful presences charge down the barren and dry battlefield.

That crazy bastard evaporated all the water… how amusing.

"Soldiers! I give you the reins of your future! WILL YOU FOLLOW ME ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD, OR WILL YOU GO BACK TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES! THERE IS NO SHAME IN RUNNING AWAY AS YOU CAN ALWAYS REGAIN YOUR LOST PRIDE ANOTHER DAY! SO TAKE YOUR PICK!" I shout at the top of my lungs.

The soldiers already knew that they were going to die if they went back onto the battlefield... But still, expressions filled with determination appeared on their faces, causing a sadistic smile to appear on not only me but Kumo, Homura, and Aika as well.

Treyni, on the other hand, just nodded her with a warm smile that contrasted the demonic appearance of myself and my 3 other wives.

"WE WILL FOLLOW THE QUEEN! WE WILL GIVE UP OUR LIVES FOR THE KINGDOM! ALL THE HAIL THE QUEENS!" My soldiers scream at the top of their lungs with tears of adrenaline running down their faces.

"GOOD! NOW FOLLOW US AS WE WILL LEAD THE CHARGE! AND DON'T FORGET THAT YOU WILL GO DOWN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR KINGDOMS AS HEROES, SO DON'T GIVE UP UNTIL THE VERY END!" I shout before flapping up with my wings.

SHING

I swung down with the influence of [Apocalyptic Weapon Swing], creating a slight line across the battlefield that the king, Lan, and the commanders were about to cross.

"I knew it," Lan says with a grin.

"Yo, what happened to just creating an opening?" I ask while staring at Lan, who had already chosen me as his next target.

"Ah, there are such juicy mages here that I couldn't help but indulge," Lan says with a genuine but slight sadistic smile.

"How amusing, you've already jumped to 350," I mutter.

"Oh, you have [Inspect]? That's quite a skill that I would like to obtain, and sadly I can only take magic points with [Abyss Magic] though," Lan says.

I glanced down and saw that my wives had already engaged with the king while my other soldiers began to fight the commanders, who were honestly not as good as my current soldiers.

It made me chuckle to myself slightly, but I was rudely interrupted by a large fireball that was as big as my castle, directed at my face.

SHING

I cut it in half with my scythe, causing black flames to devour the reddish-orange fire that threatened me.

It seems Lan was surprised for a split second before his expression returned to a sadistic smile that obviously showed greed.

"Ah, now that is something that I want," Lan says before summoning thousands of magic spells made of all the elements.
