Chapter 75 The Invasion Of Valskar! [BONUS ]
“Ehu, Alvine… can you tell me why Lady Sabrina reacts like that?” Asked Cheera with a bad presentiment.𝗈𝒱𝐋xt.𝗰𝑜𝐦
“Um? Hehe, you brought us interesting information, I would even say very interesting. But unfortunately, they are not good news for us!” Said Alvine, getting up from the sofa and going to the window while observing the forest that was as far as the eye can see. “This world gave me a new chance, a new family, and all the things I wanted and had never had…” he said, thinking how much his life had changed when he reincarnated in this body. Or maybe it was his soul that had migrated.
“I don’t understand what you mean.” Commented Cheera by joining him in front of the window but unlike Alvine who looked at the horizons, her eyes were only focused on him.
When he heard her words, Alvine glanced at her before turning his attention to the forest and said to her, “Don’t pay attention to my words, I was talking to myself.” He said briefly.
“Oh, I see.” Cheera replied by lowering her head with one of the redness on her cheeks. ‘For some reason, the more I look at him, the more my thoughts get confused in my head. Had I been so easily influenced?” He said to herself, shaking her head.
“Mr. Dragnar, you must surely know why I went all this way to get here. So what is your answer?” She said in a trembling voice. She knew that the only way for her to defend her empire and have a chance to triumph against her people, she had to ally herself with Alvine no matter how much it costs her!
“I know, but even you allying with me, I can’t guarantee that we will win this affront. If it were only the Valskar, there won’t be too many problems. But now we have more than three enemies to fight. So you will understand why we are in a delicate situation and that I can’t promise anything?” Alvine confessed to her by opening the windows and enjoying the cool breeze that caressed his face and styled his hair.
“Sigh, I understand. But despite everything, I still want you to be our ally rather than our enemy. Unlike us, your gaze is not the glance of a prey. You surely have ways to resist them! All I ask is to join forces to defend ourselves against this continental calamity!” She announced by caressing her locks out of habit.
“Hm? An alliance? Sigh, I had already told you no? I don’t trust any of you. If you want to be with me, this is the only condition available to you. And in exchange, I would be with you and treat you like my own people! But without it, it will be impossible for me to give you any help even if it is in the form of a seed.” He said in a decisive voice!
As if Cheera expected this answer, she only looked at him strangely as if she wanted to see his intentions hidden. Then she shook her head. “What you ask me to do is no different from putting my destiny and that of my people in your hands. This is not a decision that can be made on a whim. You keep saying that you don’t trust us… even if you’re right on this point, how can I trust you on my side? What will guarantee me that you will not betray me just like Alice and her daughter? Not to mention the others? Asked Cheera while the sudden strong breeze floated her beautiful golden hair.
“I don’t have a summoning answer to give you. All I can do is give my word to help you. And believe me or not… I never go back on my promises!” He disclosed with a frown.
“Tsk, you are really an annoying man! Do you want me to put my life in your hands just with his dubious words from a person I have met only twice?! Seriously, what is your real goal?” She says in a frustrating voice. Even if her intuition told her to believe in her words, the responsibility she carries on her shoulders prevents her from believing in him. But just after her words, she dropped her fist in her palm as if she had just achieved something. She put her hand in her space bag and took out two purple potions and stretched one towards Alvine while drinking the other potion at the same time.
As for Alvine, at the place to drink the potion directly, he checked his status through his system.
|Potion of truth: heavenly rank. |
“Haha, I didn’t expect you to ask me to drink a truth potion of heavenly rank. But it’s a good solution to end this loop story.” Commented Alvine in a fun tone before seeing the potion without the slightest hesitation. “Well, I’m listening to you now, what are your questions?” He asked after emptying the small transparent bottle.
As for Cheera, despite her astonishment, she immediately recovered and went straight to the point. “What are your real intentions in wanting to sign this kind of contract with me? Are the conditions you have listed true? And how long will this contract last?” These were the three issues that concerned her the most. But now that Alvine had the goal of this potion, even if its effects were far from equal to the effects of a divine potion, he could slowly gnaw the vital force of a farmer without problems. With this assurance, she was certain that Alvine would not dare to lie to her for anything in the world.
Upon hearing her questions, a beautiful smile reflected on Alvine’s face. He approached his mouth to her ear and murmured to her: “My conditions are impeccable. Everything I told you was the pure truth without further thought. As for the duration of our contract, I would like you to stay by my side forever, but if you want to break the contract after the end of the war, I would not force you. As for knowing my real intentions… it’s because I want you by my side in the present, just like in the future.” His voice was like an evil murmur in Cheera’s ear, at the same time, her face blushed to her ears.
“What are you playing? Do you doubt my potion of truth? Don’t accuse me of not warning you not to lie when you swallow this potion!” She says while avoiding her look!
“Heh, it’s not my fault if I can no longer turn around the pot. Did you want the truth? And now you have it. There’s no need to avoid me, I’m not going to eat you, hehe.” He said in a teasing tone.
But just at that moment, the entire castle was covered by a gigantic shadow! With this sudden anomaly, Alvine’s smile and sympathetic face turned into a frown! Looking at the sky through the window, Alvine could see gigantic arch hundreds of meters long and wide covered with the bones of unknown creatures with a bloody red flag above it.
Seeing this flying ship, Alvine did not need to ask Cheera for confirmation! Because the gigantic creatures that straddled the magic beasts around the ship… corresponded perfectly to Alice’s description. A red skin, a single horn above their heads, and the two fangs coming out of their mouths! This species was none other than the Valskar!
“What are they doing here?! They even brought so many soldiers with them! It’s more the triples what they had brought with them to attack one of my kingdoms!” Exclaim Cheera with disbelief!
“That’s for example. It seems that I will have to postpone my workout with Sabrina for later! He he he!” He turned to Cheera who had an illegible facial expression. Alvine could even know if this girl was angry or if she was afraid. Because her face showed no expression. She was… placid! She had recovered almost at the same time when she was surprised. Even Alvine was impressed to see her cold blood, it was almost frightening to see such a scene.
“So? The Queen of the Elves, what do you plan to do? You can stay safe in the castle while waiting for its embarrassed to be exterminated or you can join us to take care of it! Know that whatever your decision, I would respect it.” He said with a monotonous voice.
“Stay back?! Is that how you see me? I am the queen of the Elves! I’ve never been a coward and it’s not today that I would become one!” Retorted Cheera with a frightening smile that surprised Alvine even more.
“Haha… definitely, I had judged you badly. Well, I love your audacity, queen of the Elves. So then welcome our guests as it should be!” He said by going out through the window followed by Cheera!
At the same time, inside the gigantic arch that floated majestically in the sky, there were about a thousand Valskar armed and well equipped with their exquisite armor the more they all had a dark blue horn. In other words, they were all spiritual ranks! And on the second floor of the flying ship, there were two hundred Valskar Purple Horn! And on the top floor was plunged into absolute darkness! Apart from the dozens of crimson horns of the green pupils, nothing else was visible in this darkness!
“So it’s this little castle that Lord mobilized us all to storm them? Ku Ku Ku, Lord is still as ruthless as always!” A thunderous and unpleasant voice reasoned in absolute darkness.
“Jejeje, what are you afraid, Rezdog? These are only little ants that our Lord had overestimated! Let me personally take care of his insignificant little ants! Look at how scared they are?!” Announced another metallic voice with euphoria!
“Grimor! I love your arrogance and determination! But never underestimate our Lord’s judgments! Otherwise, I’ll eliminate you right away!” Retorted a soft feminine voice with an angry tone.
“Jejeje, always faithful to yourself Fraya! After this little insignificant battle, I would personally take care of you in my bed. Jejeje, such a magnificent and ruthless goddess warrior deserves only myself as a partner. Trust me, I would satisfy you as you have never been before!” Grimor replied without taking into account Fraya’s threat!
“It is enough! As under our Lord’s orders, send our weakest troops to weaken them, when they are all dead, we will send the second troops to strike the final blows! And if they ever succeed in exterminating them… we will send the leftovers to hell! No mercy, I don’t want survivors!” Ordered an imposing voice that seemed to be the leader of all the others!
