Chapter 350 Parasitic Cells
"Is this everyone? We are going to have this city before my army attack," Velian asked looking at all the girls behind Lucy.
Some of them were humans while the rest were succubuses, so Velian had to question human girls whether they were okay with leaving their families, but surprisingly everyone nodded their heads.
"They don't have families, Lord Velian, all of them are orphans, I picked them up, they know my true identity and all of them respect me," Lucy said with a smile showing she can also gain the trust and loyalty of humans if she wished for it.
"Follow me! We will enter our camp and then get ready for the battle, I will make sure the queen of this Union, will come out even if it meant I had to destroy everything around it," He said and looked at Daphnia showing he won't back down this time.
Daphnia didn't like to see Velian killing people, but she knew in this world it is either kill or get killed, so she happily smiled at him giving her approval causing Velian to show her a little grin.
"Veli, how are you going to deal with all the other parasitic cells that shredded around this land? We don't even know where they will emerge from," Daphnia asked but Velian quickly told her and Lucy his plan.
"It is impossible to pinpoint all of them, but there's a way, I read all the books you brought and I found something interesting facts about these cells," Velian told and took the book out of his storage and started going through it until he arrived at the page he was looking for.
"Look!" He showed them the specific page he was searching for and asked them to read it.
"it took them a few minutes to fully read the page, but as soon as they finished it, both Lucy and Daphnia suddenly jumped with happiness as that might be the key to preventing the conflict and chaos.
"So if we can kill the main cell body, which might be in this Union, all the parasitic cells will die? That's lucky, we just have to find this Queen and question her," Lucy said to which Velian nodded his head with a smile.
While talking about their plan, they manage to arrive at the camp which was far away from the Union, but there were at least a few hundred tents erected to give shelter to the soldiers.
There were both beastkin and humans happily talking with each other, which surprised Lucy, but she just wanted to see the people she was going to interact with as soon as possible.
As they made their way through the camp, Velian's presence did not go unnoticed. The soldiers recognized him, their faces lighting up with a mix of respect and joy. They rushed towards him, shouting his name and clapping him on the back. The sound of their cheerful greetings filled the air.
"Your Highness! You're back!" exclaimed one soldier, his voice full of admiration. "We heard about your exploits. You've become a legend in the kingdom! We heard about how you managed to find that the Union is making deals with demons,"
Velian smiled, humbled by the warm reception. "It's good to be back," he replied, his voice tinged with gratitude. "I couldn't have done it without all of your support, after all, now the time has come to put an end to this."
As soon as he said those words, all the warriors felt their motivation increasing rapidly, after all, they are going to be heroes in the future after this battle alongside with their young and handsome king, Velian Keller.
Juno, Velian's beloved tiger kin girl, and Lyra, his sister, caught sight of him and rushed forward, their eyes sparkling with joy. They enveloped him in a tight embrace, their love and longing evident in their actions.
"Velian, you're finally home!" Juno whispered, her voice filled with relief. "I've missed you so much. Other girls missed you too,"
Lyra, tears glistening in her eyes, added, "Brother, we were so worried. But seeing you now, all safe and sound, it feels like a dream come true, but I never doubted your abilities, I was just worried about you."
Velian held them close, cherishing the warmth of their embrace. "I've missed both of you as well," he murmured, his voice choked with emotion. "I couldn't wait to see your faces again."
Their attention then shifted to Daphnia and Lucy, standing by Velian's side. Juno and Lyra's eyes widened in surprise, curiosity shining in their gazes.
"Mother, you're here too? I'm glad to see you again," Juno said, her voice filled with wonder. "And who is this beside you?"
Daphnia smiled warmly and gestured towards Lucy. "This is Lucy, a dear friend of ours," she explained. "She has been by our side throughout this journey."
Juno and Lyra exchanged glances, their expressions full of intrigue. They approached Lucy, their curiosity getting the better of them.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lucy," Juno said, extending her hand. "You must have quite the story to tell, travelling with our brother and mother."
Lucy shook Juno's hand, returning the smile. "Likewise, Juno. And yes, it has been an incredible journey," she replied, her voice laced with excitement. "Lord Velian and Lady Daphnia have shown me a world I never knew existed."
Lyra's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she joined the conversation. "We can't wait to hear all about it," she said eagerly. "But for now, let's celebrate Velian's return. We have so much to catch up on."
As they walked together, the sound of laughter and camaraderie enveloped them, painting a picture of unity and hope amidst the challenges they faced. The camp had become a sanctuary, a place where different races and backgrounds came together in pursuit of a common goal. And within this bustling tapestry, Velian, Juno, Lyra, Daphnia, and Lucy found solace, knowing that they were surrounded by allies who would stand by their side, ready to face the trials ahead.
