Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2273

"When are you going back to the battlefield, little brother?" Rena asked after Hushing the children.

Between the scare, the food, and the warm fur of their pets, they had started snoring right after eating their dessert.

"Good question. When am I going back to the battlefield, Orion?" Lith passed the question on to the General of the army.

"Were it up to me, I'd send you out again tomorrow at the first lights and wouldn't make you stop until sundown." Orion turned to Elina and Raaz, giving them a small bow. "I'm sorry for putting your son in danger."

"Don't worry. We know how you feel." They replied, yet their grimaces begged to differ.

"Alas, it would ease my fatherly heart and be a disaster for the Kingdom." Orion sighed. "Before resuming our advance, we must establish a solid foothold in Thrud's territories. A fortress with mud foundations would collapse at the first attack.

"We might require your presence, but only as a deterrent to keep the enemies at bay and the citizens from rioting. I'm not going to lie, no one expected such clean and quick victories.

"You took both your allies and enemies by surprise. That's why we also need to see how Thrud answers to our offensive before we commit more troops to the invasion."

"It makes sense." Lith nodded.

"Can he take a couple of days off? Can I as well?" Kamila asked.

"Unless we get attacked, yes. What about you, dear?" Orion had no authority over constables. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

"Three cities mean hundreds of traitors to investigate and put to trial, but yes. Take as long as you need." Jirni nodded. "Until I get my baby girl back, I'm not going to rest. If necessary, I'll do your work as well if it means increasing Lith's odds of success."

"Thanks, Jirni. I hope-" A powerful roar followed by a slight tremor in the ground cut Kamila short. "Great Mother almighty! Will this day ever end?"

"I'm right here." Tyris waved her hand, sick of people looking at the sky while talking to her. "Also, there's nothing to worry about. Just a guest."

Unfortunately for the Queen's Corps, they had no way to hear Tyris and be reassured by her words. When they saw the colossal figure of the Shadow Dragon close in and then land right in front of the doorstep, they went this close to burst into tears.

"What's wrong with this place? Is it cursed?" The new captain of the Corps called for reinforcements again, praying that they would not need them.

He renewed his request for transfer and so did many other members of the units.

The moment Lith opened the door, the tension inside the house disappeared.

Zoreth was one of the Master's most loyal followers. An ancient Eldritch who through the millennia had murdered millions to achieve her goals. Yet to them, she was a dear friend who had helped Lith several times.

"Hi, big sister. Do you want to come in?" Lith was surprised to see her keeping her Dragon form.

"Yes, but first I need the permission of both of you since I'm not alone." Despite Zoreth's size, her voice was barely a whisper to not scare the children or the animals.

The figure of a black Raiju galloped down her spine. White bolts of lightning crackled around Bytra's horns as she reached the ground.

"I'm here as well and I don't want to burden Solus with my presence unless she allows me to. We are not friends and I've still a lot to make up to her for." She said.

"You!" The Mother's eyes blazed with bright white mana when she recognized the Fourth Ruler of the Flames and Menadion's killer. "You have changed."
