After her climax, Phoenix Vane's entire body went limp, only her chest heaving violently, causing her full, high breasts to tremble. Her small, red mouth opened and closed repeatedly, her breath sweet and fragrant, her starry eyes hazy, and her cheeks flushed. After a long while, she opened her beautiful eyes, gazing affectionately at Aurelian Dragon, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Aurelian! I'm so happy!"
Aurelian Dragon gazed at the radiant beauty beneath him, lightly kissed her red lips, and said, "To have gained General Fei Feng's favor is truly my honor. I fear I am unworthy of you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Phoenix Vane extended a slender finger to his lips and said tenderly, "You underestimate yourself. Phoenix has seen countless handsome men and dashing nobles, but none of them have ever moved me in the slightest, except for you. To have your beloved is Phoenix's greatest joy!"
Aurelian Dragon was captivated by her exquisite beauty and deep affection, and whispered in her ear, "Are you happy?"
Phoenix Vane hugged him tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with the satisfaction and sweetness after a storm. Her cherry lips parted slightly, and she breathed softly, "Phoenix has never been so happy! Aurelian, why didn't I meet you sooner?"
Such tender and seductive words were more maddening than the most potent aphrodisiac, and Aurelian Dragon was instantly consumed by lust, wishing he could hold her and make love to her again.
Aurelian Dragon laughed smugly, "Then why were you so fierce just now!" In fact, he knew that being so passionate and accommodating on the first time was too much for the delicate honey hole.
Phoenix Vane playfully retorted, "I didn't know!"
Aurelian Dragon chuckled and said, "Silly girl, let's see if you'll still be so reckless in the future?"
Phoenix Vane protested, "You're still teasing me, huh...?"
Aurelian Dragon deliberately throbbed his penis inside her vagina, startling Phoenix Vane into a gasp. Aurelian Dragon, pleased with himself, fondled her firm, smooth breasts and said smugly, "Say something nice, and I'll let you off!"
Phoenix Vane said sweetly, "My dear husband, please forgive your obedient and clever wife!"
Aurelian Dragon then rolled over, satisfied, and lay on his back next to Phoenix Vane, beginning to absorb the primordial yin energy he had just received. As his penis was pulled out, Phoenix Vane's vagina made a soft "pop" sound, and the tender flesh inside clung to his penis reluctantly, as if unwilling to let it leave.
Seeing this, Phoenix Vane knew that Aurelian Dragon possessed extraordinary skills. However, such techniques that absorbed a woman's vital essence were generally considered evil and harmful. Yet, upon examining her own body, she found no discomfort and even felt some benefit. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of extraordinary skill Aurelian Dragon practiced. In any case, she now understood how Aurelian Dragon had acquired her reputation for promiscuity.
Phoenix Vane gazed at the erect penis and felt a sudden emptiness in her lower body. Suddenly, she was surprised to find that Aurelian Dragon's penis was constantly stretching and contracting, trembling frequently. She couldn't help but reach out her delicate hand to gently caress this thing that brought her so much pleasure. She saw that the egg-sized glans was red, shiny, and quite adorable, and she couldn't resist stroking it with her slender fingers.
After circulating his energy for three weeks, Aurelian Dragon felt refreshed and light all over, feeling exceptionally comfortable. He then realized that his abilities had greatly improved.
Just then, a tickling sensation came from the head of his penis. He looked down and saw Phoenix Vane gently licking the tip of his penis with her fragrant tongue. Seeing Aurelian Dragon looking at her, Phoenix Vane gave him a seductive smile and continued to lick the sensitive head of his penis with the tip of her pink tongue. Seeing the seductive expression on Phoenix Vane's pure and sweet face, and seeing her making such lewd movements, Aurelian Dragon's penis throbbed with excitement.
Phoenix Vane licked for a while, and seeing that his penis was getting bigger and bigger, he couldn't help but say worriedly, "Aurelian, are you feeling uncomfortable?" After saying that, he looked at his swollen vulva and said, "How about I have the maid help you cool down?"
Aurelian Dragon gratefully took her small hand, pulled her into his arms, kissed her soft, flower-like lips deeply, and said, "No need!"
Seeing Phoenix Vane looking at him uneasily, he chuckled softly and whispered in her ear, "Listen carefully!" Then he kissed her lips again.
Phoenix Vane calmed herself down in confusion and listened carefully, then was startled. She realized that besides her two most favored maids, there was another person breathing outside the tent. All three were breathing rapidly, indicating that they were all aroused and unable to control themselves.
After a moment's thought, she understood and snapped, "Qin girl, come in here!"
Lynette Quill, her face flushed, slipped inside, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears. She pounced on Phoenix Vane, her cherry lips pursed, and said, "Aurelian, you're so unfair! You were so rough with me the first time." Then she said to Phoenix Vane, "Sister Feng, wasn't I right? It felt good, didn't it? Isn't Aurelian amazing?"
At that moment, Aurelian Dragon rolled over, pinning the two beauties beneath him amidst their gasps. He said menacingly to Lynette Quill, "I'm going to spank you. Are you going to take your pants off willingly, or do you want someone to pull them down for you?"
Lynette Quill reached out and hugged Aurelian Dragon and Phoenix Vane tightly, replying triumphantly, "I don't want either of them!"
Aurelian Dragon chuckled and lazily barked, "Obsidia Shade, come out and help me catch her!"
Phoenix Vane and Lynette Quill were both startled when a faint figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the tent, slowly becoming clearer.
Upon seeing Obsidia Shade, Lynette Quill exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Obsidia Shade, have you been here all this time?"
Obsidia Shade chuckled softly and said in a sweet voice, "Sister Qin, I've been following behind the young master ever since he came out of that big tent."
It turned out she had been hiding right next to Aurelian Dragon all along. Phoenix Vane was startled and secretly surprised. This meant that everything that had happened between her and Aurelian Dragon had been seen by her, and she, who considered herself a top expert, had not even noticed her presence. Although part of the reason was due to her own excitement, it at least showed that Obsidia Shade's skill level was now almost the same as hers. This made her marvel at the terrifying power of the Dark Clan after their seal was broken.
Obsidia Shade approached Phoenix Vane, bowed, and said, "This humble servant, Obsidia Shade, greets Miss."
Phoenix Vane, having heard Lynette Quill recount Obsidia Shade's story, looked her up and down before softly saying, "No need for formalities!" Realizing she was still naked before him, she blushed and quickly replied, "Just call me Sister Feng."
Obsidia Shade obediently replied, "Sister Feng!"
Phoenix Vane nodded happily. She was extremely satisfied with Obsidia Shade's obedience and skill, and she was also happy for Aurelian Dragon, happy that he had such a woman by his side.
Aurelian Dragon yelped from the side, "Your sister Feng and I are both completely naked, so you should take your clothes off too!"
Obsidia Shade blushed, but obediently undressed, revealing her exquisitely beautiful body to the three men without reservation.
"Very good! Come here and pin this guy down!" Aurelian Dragon commanded Obsidia Shade as he vigorously rubbed his strong body against Lynette Quill's soft body. Obsidia Shade responded with a grin, climbed onto the soft couch, and grabbed one of Lynette Quill's delicate hands.
At this moment, Phoenix Vane playfully broke free from Lynette Quill's embrace and grabbed her other arm.
Aurelian Dragon reached out and stroked her round, full buttocks through her pants, then patted the mound of flesh triumphantly and asked, "General, how many slaps do you deserve for eavesdropping on secrets?"
Phoenix Vane suppressed a laugh and deliberately said in a deep voice, "Eighty strokes of the military rod!" Upon hearing this, all three laughed, except for Obsidia Shade, who remained completely bewildered.
Aurelian Dragon shouted, "Yes, sir!" and swiftly ripped off Lynette Quill's pants, revealing her large, round, white buttocks. Between the two snow-white, full mounds of flesh was a deep cleft. Even Phoenix Vane and Obsidia Shade, both beauties themselves, couldn't help but admire the beautiful buttocks before them. Aurelian Dragon deliberately spread the mounds apart forcefully, revealing the tender, pink anus that twitched shyly, and the tightly closed, beautiful chrysanthemum bud.
Completely powerless to resist, Lynette Quill let out a shy gasp, struggling desperately. Little did she know that her movements were like an extremely seductive twist of her slender waist, causing her beautiful and alluring lower body to writhe like a serpent, her pink and snowy buttocks undulating like waves. To the lustful man behind her, this was simply the most fatal temptation.
Unfortunately, she soon realized she was playing with fire. Her closest friend, Sister Feng, was taking advantage of her misfortune, using the opportunity to embarrass her. She couldn't help but think to herself: if she got the chance, she would definitely get her revenge. She soon discovered that this wish was very easy to fulfill.
Aurelian Dragon slipped his other hand between Lynette Quill's thighs, his touch finding soft, silky pubic hair, just short enough to cover the obscene cleft. It was already warm and wet. Parting the soft hair, Aurelian Dragon's fingers touched the slippery petals; the plump labia majora were quietly parting, releasing sticky nectar, telling of the thirst of the fleshy orifice.
Aurelian Dragon scooped out the honey and smeared it evenly on Lynette Quill's beautiful buttocks, which gleamed lewdly under the light: "What a naughty woman, you're already wet! Look at your slutty juices!"
Hearing the lewd words deliberately uttered by Aurelian Dragon, the three women were all shaken and unable to control themselves. Obsidia Shade felt her vagina throbbing and a warm substance slowly flowing out. She knew that if she were to hear Aurelian Dragon say such things, she might become even more wanton than Lynette Quill.
Lynette Quill exclaimed in embarrassment, "It's all your fault! You made me look like this and then you make fun of me!"
Aurelian Dragon slapped her pink buttocks a few times, leaving red marks on the snow-white mounds, creating a strangely alluring beauty! Lynette Quill knew he had a great interest in her buttocks, so she deliberately controlled the trembling of her buttocks, making them form even more seductive waves, stimulating Aurelian Dragon to breathe rapidly. From her mouth, buried in the mattress, she let out continuous soft moans: "It hurts! Don't hit me!"
Aurelian Dragon, captivated by the allure before him, could no longer resist. He pushed Lynette Quill's jade-like legs up, kneeling on the bed, raising her pink buttocks high, exposing her anus and beautiful vulva. With a "plop!" his furiously thick penis plunged to the root into her warm, moist honey hole, the large glans hitting Lynette Quill's tender, sensitive clitoris.
"Ugh..." Lynette Quill let out a satisfied groan: "So deep! It's all the way to my heart!"
Aurelian Dragon began to sway his hips, making his penis move like a piston, while pleasurably slapping Lynette Quill's delicate, pink buttocks. At this moment, Phoenix Vane and Obsidia Shade were already burning with desire, no longer able to hold Lynette Quill down. They could only watch the two men engaged in vigorous activity with flushed faces, their soft panting growing more and more rapid.
Lynette Quill braced herself on the bed, raising her head high, biting her bright red lips with her pearly teeth. Her delicate body thrust backward with all her might, her buttocks swaying, allowing the penis to penetrate deeply into her vagina each time. The glans slammed hard against her trembling clitoris, and her breath grew heavier and deeper through her delicate nose.
Phoenix Vane stared in disbelief as Lynette Quill, consumed by the overwhelming pleasure, moaning and groaning with abandon. She had no idea that the woman beneath her, so eager and wanton, was the same vibrant, lively, and charming Lynette Quill she always knew. Incredibly, she now possessed so many techniques, perfectly complementing Aurelian Dragon's movements and bringing immense pleasure to both of them.
Unbeknownst to me, my little sister Qin has grown into such a mature and beautiful woman.
While sighing, Phoenix Vane couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like if he did the same thing as Qin. It seemed extremely embarrassing, but also absolutely pleasurable. Just by looking at Qin's blissful expression, one could tell how joyful it was.
Thinking of this, Phoenix Vane became even more aroused, her face flushed, her beautiful eyes sparkling. Unconsciously, her hand left Lynette Quill's arm and began to caress her own body.
While feeling embarrassed, she stole a glance at Obsidia Shade across from her, only to find that Obsidia Shade was even more unbearable. Her hands had already let go, and she was embracing Aurelian Dragon's body, rubbing her delicate body against him, while moaning softly.
When Aurelian Dragon brought Lynette Quill to the peak of pleasure, he also completed a powerful energy boost, setting aside the satisfied Lynette Quill and turning his attention to Obsidia Shade, whose body was already aroused and burning with desire.
Withdrawing from Lynette Quill's still-dripping, hot, wet vagina, Aurelian Dragon immediately thrust his wet penis into Obsidia Shade's already eager, throbbing orifice. The wet, hot vagina contracted violently, engulfing his entire penis. Aurelian Dragon immediately felt an intense tightness, stimulating him to launch a furious, relentless assault.
The thick, hard penis thrust rapidly in and out of Obsidia Shade's vagina, causing her pink labia and tender flesh to tumble and spill out, splashing her juices. Obsidia Shade could only shake her head frantically, twisting her waist and thrusting her hips, enduring the man's wild assault.
Aurelian Dragon thrust wildly over five hundred times, leaving Obsidia Shade weak in the knees, her mouth agape, panting heavily. Her legs, no longer able to clamp together, clung to Aurelian Dragon's waist, trembling with each thrust. Her secret cave was overflowing with lustful fluids, the penis making a squelching sound as it entered and exited.
Lying to one side, still basking in the afterglow of her orgasm, Lynette Quill breathed softly, needing to quickly regain her strength to prepare for Aurelian Dragon's next attack. She also adored the feeling of being fucked to the point of near death by him; each time her soul soared to the clouds, each tremor in her body thrilled her immensely. Having slept with Aurelian Dragon the most, she knew his strength well, but she hadn't expected his abilities to have improved so much, no longer the same as they had been just a few days ago.
Obsidia Shade let out a sudden, muffled groan, as if in a final burst of energy, and clung tightly to Aurelian Dragon, her buttocks thrusting violently. Unable to resist the piercing tingling sensation, her vulva opened wide, and her vaginal fluids gushed forth. Aurelian Dragon instantly felt an intense, burning sensation on his glans, an unparalleled pleasure. He grasped Obsidia Shade's breasts with his large hands, and with a sudden, forceful thrust, his penis slammed into her honeyed depths, the glans striking her open, sensitive clitoris, sending Obsidia Shade soaring to the heavens.
That night, Aurelian Dragon's lust was at its peak, repeatedly bringing Obsidia Shade and Lynette Quill to the peak of pleasure until the two women could no longer bear it.
Captivated by the breathtaking battle before her and unable to suppress her burning desire, Phoenix Vane disregarded her virginity and endured Aurelian Dragon's most intense passion with her swollen vulva. When Aurelian Dragon's penis erupted inside her tight opening, Phoenix Vane was already utterly ecstatic, lost in ecstasy. While her reckless actions brought her extreme pleasure, they also brought her bitter consequences.
The next day, Phoenix Vane was bedridden due to severe swelling and redness in her genitals. To prevent this embarrassing situation from being revealed, she lied to the guards, saying she had caught a cold the night before. This was Phoenix Vane's first illness, and everyone rushed to visit her, causing the guards at the door to have to repeatedly turn them away, their mouths hoarse from talking so much. Because of this, Phoenix Vane became the butt of jokes for Lynette Quill and Obsidia Shade, a source of amusement for them in their private quarters.
The walls were lined with tall bookshelves overflowing with books. In the center of the not-so-large room stood a large desk, flanked by two soft lamps that provided illumination. A thick, soft carpet covered the floor, making one feel as if walking on clouds. The room was faintly permeated with the intoxicating fragrance of ambergris, a forbidden item reserved only for royalty. All of this testified to the noble status of the room's owner.
"Corbis, what's up?" The handsome man sitting behind the desk looked up, his eyes sparkling.
"Your Highness, the secret message has confirmed that Lete has sent out troops," Corbis replied respectfully.
"Oh, has Aso's Lion King finally lost his temper?" the man addressed as His Highness murmured to himself.
Kirbis looked at him with admiration. This man possessed a terrifying mind, which was not a good thing for his enemies. He had seen too many people fall into utter ruin because of this man. This man always used extremely precise calculations and the most perfect steps to achieve his goals.
"Your Highness, just as you said, the Phoenix Legion will face its greatest challenge since its founding. As the most powerful force on the continent, the Orcs of Aso will surely make that woman suffer, and…" Kobis paused, looking at his lord's handsome face, "According to the spy's report, Let has actually invited the Ghost Master of the Celestial Clan to make weapons for him, but those weapons are top secret, and we have no way of obtaining detailed information."
His Highness picked up a jade figurine from the table. This twelve-foot-tall jade figurine was flawless, smooth, and exquisitely beautiful—a true rare treasure. Its face was incomparably beautiful, almost lifelike. Only Kobis knew that this jade figurine was made entirely in the likeness and figure of Phoenix Vane, and that His Highness had commissioned the master craftsman "Master Craftsman" to meticulously carve it over three months at great expense.
Ever since the jade beauty was carved, it has been placed in this confidential study, facing His Highness every day. Whenever His Highness has free time, he will carefully caress it. It is because of this that Kobis knows that His Highness, who fascinates countless beautiful women in the capital, is also a man who is extremely affectionate. Unfortunately, fate is not on his side. He, who is enough to make all women's hearts flutter, cannot even get a trace of Phoenix Vane's feelings.
But now that he finally has this opportunity, he must strive to seize it. This is the man's greatest strength.
"Phoenix Vane's envoy must already be on his way. Should we order the Aeron Legion to send troops?"
The handsome man chuckled silently, his hand gently stroking the beautiful woman's cheek.
"That charming smile is sure to make all the ladies of the capital city of Esnia swoon," Kobis couldn't help but daydream.
"No need, my dear Corbis. I've already sent the Aeron Legion on their way." The handsome man's words interrupted Corbis's thoughts. He gazed confidently toward the Skywind Plains and said, "Beautiful War Goddess, your undefeated reputation should end here. I really want to see you fail; perhaps only then will you consider needing a strong support! I long to hold you in my arms!" His last words were barely audible, as if he were speaking to the beautiful woman before him.
Knowing that there was nothing more for him to do, Kobis bowed respectfully and left the extremely comfortable yet oppressively quiet study as he had come, knowing that His Highness would not care about his departure.
His Highness spoke to the jade beauty in his hand with great affection, "What should I say to you first? Should I scold you, show you pity, or...?" He suddenly laughed, shook his head, and put the jade beauty back in its place.
Kobis had never seen his master's face turn as terrible as it did upon hearing the news; his handsome face contorted into a purplish-black hue, and he smashed three jade cups. Later, according to the servants, His Highness tormented his two beloved women for most of the night before finally falling into a deep drunken stupor.
It was at this moment that the name Aurelian Dragon reached their ears. Corbis began to investigate this man who had suddenly appeared before them in detail. Before dealing with someone, it was essential to understand their background thoroughly. This was the foundation of their invincible success.
※ ※ ※
Puvassa, the capital of the Wuan Kingdom, had a population of nearly one million and was one of the seven famous cities on the continent.
The southern part of Puvassa is home to the royal palace, a place where commoners are forbidden to enter. A river flowing through the south separates the southern part of the city from the rest. Besides the royal palace, there are a few mansions of the powerful and wealthy in the south, which are reserved for the most powerful ministers in the kingdom.
Zhu Dejun, who had fled in disarray from the Tianfeng Plain, was staying in a mansion south of the city. Just as the fire broke out, Zhu Dejun received a report that the old general, Gupa, had been assassinated in his tent, his head severed. He was filled with mixed emotions; he was pleased that the army was now under his control, eliminating his most powerful opponent and allowing him to proceed with his original plans; but he was also worried that the enemy had managed to infiltrate the camp and assassinate the commander-in-chief. This showed how formidable his enemy was, and he would have to be even more cautious in the future.
Little did he know that before he could gather his generals and announce the change of commander, chaos suddenly erupted in the camp as countless enemies surged in from all directions. These terrifying enemies were all incredibly fierce, tall and long-legged, agile and swift, and their attacks were fast and ruthless; often, several Wu'an soldiers could not defeat a single one.
Finally, they could see from the patterns on their faces and their banners that their opponents were actually the orc leopard soldiers of Yasu. The Wu'an army, which was already in a state of panic, discovered that their commander had been beheaded. Their fear of the orcs exploded, and some of them ignored their commander's orders and began to flee the battlefield.
The orcs didn't pursue the deserters; instead, they set fire to the camp while attacking the remaining Wu'an soldiers who stubbornly resisted. As a result, more and more Wu'an soldiers lost their will to fight. Morale was like a thousand-mile-long dike; even a small breach would cause the entire army to collapse. The Wu'an army was now in such a predicament, with demoralized soldiers scattering and fleeing.
Zhu Dejun was about to put up a fight when he encountered a powerful enemy, a female general from the Leopard Clan. He later learned that this woman was Shara Felis, known as the "Three Wonders Female General".
To be honest, Zhu Dejun's strength was indeed extraordinary. Even the powerful leopard soldiers were no match for him in just a few moves, which is why he attracted Shara Felis's attention, who rode forward to fight him.
The two went back and forth for six or seven rounds without a clear winner, but Shara Felis didn't want to drag it out. She seized the opportunity and suddenly turned her horse around, pretending to retreat.
When Zhu Dejun fell for the trap and rode forward to give chase, Shara Felis suddenly turned around, flicked her wrist, and a flash of silver light appeared. Zhu Dejun felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder. When he turned his head to look closely, he saw that there was a short arrow stuck in his shoulder. The short arrow, which had no fin, was still trembling slightly.
This arrow shattered his ambition, and with no will to fight, he could only join the defeated ranks.
After fleeing back to Poisar in disgrace, Zhu Dejun was not severely punished because he was not the commander-in-chief of the army and the responsibility for the defeat could not be attributed to him. However, feeling ashamed to face anyone, he could only hide in his own residence, using the excuse of recuperating from his injuries, and refused all visitors.
However, after only a few days of rest, he was summoned before the Seventh Princess.
When Zhu Dejun received the summons, he was quite uneasy, wondering how this woman who held real power in Wu'an would deal with him.
In the court of Wu'an, everyone knew that the Seventh Princess, greatly favored by His Majesty the King, now controlled the government. This woman, barely twenty-four years old, had indeed demonstrated exceptional political talent; her shrewdness and ruthlessness compensated for the King's indecisiveness, which stemmed from his mere benevolence. However, discerning individuals also saw that this woman's excessive zeal for power might not be a good thing for Wu'an. But powerless to intervene, they could only watch, unable to interfere, because this woman was a master of political maneuvering.
To Zhu Dejun's surprise, the Seventh Princess received him in the inner hall and did not criticize his failure too much. Instead, she offered a few words of comfort.
This surprised him and moved him deeply, filling him with gratitude that he would give his life to repay the Lord's grace.
Changing the subject abruptly, the Seventh Princess asked, "Are you aware of our peace negotiations with Fast?"
Zhu Dejun gazed at the princess's delicate and gentle face, momentarily at a loss for words. After a long pause, he finally said, "This humble one has never heard of it!"
"Is that so?" The Seventh Princess nodded and said calmly, "Now the two countries are preparing for a marriage alliance. One of our princesses is to marry the second prince of Fast!"
"What?" Zhu Dejun was stunned. He couldn't understand how things could have changed so quickly in just a few days.
The Seventh Princess ignored his reaction and continued, "It has now been decided to send Princess Xiu there. If your injury is not serious, I would like you to lead the troops to escort her."
"I will certainly do my best!" Zhu Dejun replied with a bow.
He paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "What does Your Highness want...?"
The Seventh Princess smiled slightly and said, "You are indeed a wise person. That is one of the reasons why I chose you." Then she said softly, "I will also go to Fast."
Zhu Dejun was startled. He really didn't understand what the princess was up to, and could only stare blankly.
The Seventh Princess looked at her top subordinate, feeling quite pleased with her brilliant plan. She preferred to keep her intentions hidden from others and not let her subordinates fully understand them; this was one of her methods of controlling her subordinates.
She said slowly, "This time I need to rely on your superb swordsmanship, but you must not do it like you did when you fought Tianfeng."
Zhu Dejun was indeed very confident in his swordsmanship. After all, he came from the most famous Tianjian Garden on the mainland, and it would be hard to find a swordsman in Wu'an who was better than him. He quickly agreed.
The Seventh Princess expressed her thoughts with satisfaction: "After you arrive in Fast, you will stay there and serve as Princess Xiu's bodyguard."
Seeing that he still didn't understand, the Seventh Princess said softly, "The Second Prince of Fast is a weak-willed man, and he's also a womanizer and a drunkard..."
Zhu Dejun suddenly realized and said, "Your Highness, you mean..."
"That's right!" the Seventh Princess said. "Since it's difficult to solve from the outside, let's try to find a solution from the inside."
"No wonder Your Highness had to personally take charge!" Zhu Dejun exclaimed in delight.
"So go and make preparations now, recruit more skilled people, so that it will be easier to carry out your business in Fast!" the Seventh Princess said. "Remember, they must be reliable people."
"Your Highness, I will certainly live up to your expectations!" Zhu Dejun replied excitedly.

Phoenix Vane began directing her soldiers to build a castle on the mountain where magical cannons were set up. With her keen military insight, she knew that as long as she controlled these powerful magical cannons, she could firmly grasp this strategic location.
The Great Lakes region is strategically located. Whether it is Yasu or Wuan, they must pass through here to reach Fast. Fast can use this place as a base to attack the two countries or defend itself.
After giving these instructions, aside from teaching Valeria Immortalis military strategy and martial arts, she spent the rest of her time with Aurelian Dragon, enjoying the boundless pleasure her lover brought her. Under Aurelian Dragon's care, Phoenix Vane became increasingly beautiful and ethereal; her breathtaking beauty was so striking that even a blind person could perceive it. Some members of the Phoenix Legion already knew that their war god was basking in love, and they were consumed with envy for that lucky woman.
With her newfound immortality, Valeria Immortalis progressed rapidly under Phoenix Vane's tutelage, her understanding of military strategy astonishing even him. Phoenix Vane believed that given time, Valeria Immortalis's command abilities might surpass his own. This was because Valeria Immortalis possessed an innate sensitivity to battle, easily discerning weaknesses and flaws in formations. Coupled with her strong belief in avenging her sister, she was driven to study and improve even more diligently.
Two weeks later, an envoy returned from the imperial capital, Esnia, carrying an imperial decree from Emperor Andre III of Fast, summoning Aurelian Dragon, who had distinguished himself in the battle, to the capital to receive honors. Everyone understood that Aurelian Dragon would soon be promoted to commander of ten thousand cavalry, and perhaps receive even more rewards. Regardless of their motives, the soldiers congratulated Aurelian Dragon.
To be honest, Aurelian Dragon was truly reluctant to leave Phoenix Vane. Such a peerless beauty was unparalleled; he could hold her every day without getting tired. For the past two weeks, he had grown accustomed to falling asleep with her full, soft body in his arms. Asking him to leave Phoenix Vane's warm embrace felt incredibly uncomfortable! But Phoenix Vane was the commander-in-chief of the Phoenix Legion; she couldn't abandon her army to follow him to the capital. However, Phoenix Vane showed no sadness at the separation. After their usual passionate and lingering night, she gave him a meaningful answer: "We'll meet again soon!" This left him puzzled, but he couldn't disobey the imperial decree. Aurelian Dragon, filled with doubt, embarked on his journey to the capital.
At this time, Aurelian Dragon was unaware that the great victory in the Battle of Skywind had completely changed his fate, and an unimaginable path lay before him. His journey to the imperial capital, Esnia, was to open that unknown door.
