Volume 3, Chapter 66 – The Situation in the Kingdom of Qingyun Is Not Optimistic

“Xi Xuan went to deal with the Vassals of Sky?”

Bai Lianyue’s pupils suddenly contracted, her azure eyes filled with shock.

Without a doubt, the evil god miss had no knowledge of this news. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come looking for Xi Xuan so early in the morning.

At this moment, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Xi Xuan going on a campaign to the Kingdom of Qingyun—such a major event and nobody told me? I’m at least the nominal mistress of this household… Yet Naro and the others actually didn’t tell me anything?

The Lingyuan family members aside, even Dog Brother and Octopus Sister didn’t tell me?

And here I thought I was the boss of the Terrabond Lineage…

Enmm, due to the aftereffects of the previous battle with Ulutiel, I was indeed mentally foggy for quite a long time. Could it be that these guys really started treating me as a mascot because of that?

Wuwuwuwu, how annoying!

Thinking this, the evil god miss pouted her small mouth in displeasure. She was already planning to settle accounts with her cats and dogs later. For a moment, whether it was Octopus Sister who was eating an apple, or Dog Brother who was adjusting Suyu’s sensitivity, both couldn’t help but shudder…

“When did Xi Xuan leave? What’s this about going to the Kingdom of Qingyun to deal with the Vassals of Sky?”

Gazing at Luo Fei’s face, Bai Lianyue asked seriously.

Seeing this, Luo Fei couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

“You really don’t know anything at all? Sigh…”

After letting out a helpless sigh, Luo Fei proceeded to inform Bai Lianyue of all the major events that had occurred between the Kingdom of Qingyun and the Westivian Covenant during these past days.

This included the Kingdom of Qingyun’s punitive expedition, the counterattack and invasion by the Vassals of Sky, as well as the allied support operations…

“In short, that’s how things stand.”

After speaking his final words, Luo Fei took a sip of tea, using the liquid to moisten his dry throat.

On the other side, Bai Lian, sitting on the sofa, silently clenched her fists after hearing Luo Fei’s account.

Although she still felt confused about some specific details, Bai Lianyue could be certain of one thing…

Reaԁ оn КαtRеαⅾіոɡСаfе

The current battle situation was not optimistic.

This time, it was the Vassals of Sky’s first large-scale operation in over three hundred years. Fifteen of the eighteen vassals under Ulutiel had appeared on the front lines.

Combined with the vast hordes of Corrupted Beasts…

This was indeed a tremendous crisis for the Kingdom of Qingyun.

Why did those guys from the Kingdom of Qingyun go and provoke that creature for no reason? If they had done nothing, that lizard shouldn’t have made any major moves in the short term… After all, I severely damaged her soul back then, so she shouldn’t have recovered so quickly.

Also…

“……”

Just thinking about her old friend who had gone to confront the Vassals of Sky head-on, Bai Lian’s azure pupils couldn’t help but overflow with deep unease.

However, after hearing these words, Luo Fei glanced at Lianna with a somewhat serious expression:

“Call him ‘Father.'”

“Hah?”

“Your public identity now is, at the very least, my wife. Follow some basic etiquette, would you? What’s with directly calling an elder by name… Be good and call him ‘Father,’ understand?”

“……”

Bai Lianyue’s brow furrowed.

The evil god miss obviously didn’t want to call her old friend “Father.”

However, the current Bai Lianyue didn’t refute anything. Instead, she silently lowered her head and stared thoughtfully at the ground.

Seeing this, Luo Fei said no more and refocused his attention on the screen in front of him. What was displayed on the screen was the current battle line map of the Kingdom of Qingyun, along with various detailed battle reports.

As this information came into view, a rare look of gravity appeared on Luo Fei’s calm face.

Although the most terrifying Celestial Blight had not directly appeared on the battlefield as usual up to this point, the scale of the Vassals of Sky army was still spine-chilling.

Besides the Infernal Dragon King and two vassals that had appeared in the Covenant’s northern territory these past days… there should still be four Dragon Kings and eight vassals within the Kingdom of Qingyun… and that beast Zhulan might be among them as well.

Considering the Kingdom of Qingyun’s previous large-scale defeats, the Vassals of Sky’s high-end combat power might not have suffered any losses.

Under these circumstances, the overall situation the Covenant faced became increasingly perilous.

As a son, Luo Fei instinctively worried about his father’s condition.

If he didn’t have to stay and guard the northern territory to ensure the Vassals of Sky couldn’t take the opportunity to advance south, Luo Fei would really want to go to the Kingdom of Qingyun together with Xi Xuan.

He had already lost his mother and absolutely could not allow his father to meet with any accident.

Thinking this, Luo Fei couldn’t help but clench his fists.

No, don’t think such thoughts. Nothing will happen…

Father is a First Celestial Augur Knight, and the Second Seat, second only to the Alabaster Sovereign. Now that the Abyssal Lord’s curse has been lifted, his strength has returned to its peak.

As long as Ulutiel doesn’t rashly venture deep into human territory like before…

Father will definitely be able to repel those monsters…

“……”

Luo Fei murmured quietly.

After taking in the changes in Luo Fei’s expression, Miss Bai Lianyue narrowed her eyes slightly, then silently left the office.

At the same time, in the western part of the Kingdom of Qingyun, at the border of Hualuo Plain, the fortress city of Chengluo.

At this moment, behind the massive energy barrier that enveloped the entire city, a group of Qingyun Kingdom soldiers were frantically setting up defensive fortifications, mounting heavy cannons, charging mechas, and setting up explosive devices.

Without a doubt, the Qingyun Kingdom army was preparing for the imminent arrival of the Vassals of Sky.

However, unlike when they had set out on their punitive expedition before, the faces of the Qingyun Kingdom soldiers no longer bore their initial confidence and excitement, but had become extremely grim, all shrouded in emotions of loss and panic.

Not only that, but after experiencing several waves of defeats, the soldiers were more or less wounded, and their overall morale was far worse than before.

“Damn…”

Atop the high tower, looking down at the demoralized army below, Mu Yelan, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Qingyun, couldn’t help but sigh heavily with a gloomy mood.

“The morale problem must be resolved… Otherwise, there’s no way we can stop them.”

After muttering to himself, Mu Yelan turned his sharp gaze toward the red-haired middle-aged man behind him.

“How is the army concentration going? How is the recovery of the five legion commanders?”

Faced with the sovereign’s inquiry, the middle-aged man immediately bowed his head respectfully in trepidation.

“The third batch of volunteer troops has been assembled. They can enter Chengluo immediately. By then, we’ll have five hundred thousand defenders. As for the five legion commanders, except for Yelu Qing who was severely injured by the Water Prison Dragon King earlier, the other four have recovered almost completely and can participate in battle at any time.”

“That’s good.”

Mu Yelan nodded lightly:

“No matter what, we must stop those monsters here. Otherwise, if Chengluo falls… the population centers and industrial zones in the rear will be completely finished.”

Speaking thus, Mu Yelan couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly.

Even now… he couldn’t believe that the Qingyun Kingdom army, which had originally held an absolute advantage, had been beaten to this extent.

Emotions of unwillingness and regret continuously surged into Mu Yelan’s heart.

However, the next moment, after taking a deep breath, Mu Yelan managed to suppress his emotions. After all, now was not the time for regret; the urgent matter was to organize the defense and stop the Vassals of Sky.

Thinking this, Mu Yelan slowly picked up his telescope and gazed toward the distant mountain peaks.

No, to be precise, he was looking at the terrifying long dragon with an elongated body and emanating black aura that was coiled atop the mountain peak.

“Has that monster made any movements?”

Hearing this, Luo Qian, who was one of the commanders, also cast an uneasy gaze toward the distance. After taking in the ferocious posture of the black dragon, Luo Qian seemed to recall the black dragon’s violent behavior on the previous main battlefield, and his entire body couldn’t help but tremble.

“As for the Black Meteor Dragon King, there’s still no movement. It’s just been coiled there, seemingly observing our movements.”

“Still just observing?”

Mu Yelan frowned, asking with some suspicion.

“Yes, it’s been observing continuously. There are no signs of Vassals of Sky Corrupted Beasts gathering in the surroundings. Those monsters might still be in the previously captured Landi River area, feeding…”

“……”

Landi River, the place where wounded soldiers had been stationed previously…

Just thinking about those soldiers they had abandoned, left behind as bait to cover the main force’s retreat, Mu Yelan uncontrollably bit his lips hard. Blood began to flow uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.

Murderous intent and hatred continuously overflowed from Mu Yelan’s eyes.

“This emperor will definitely… definitely avenge you all…”

“By the way, Your Majesty. New intelligence just came from the west.”

Looking at the communication device in his hand, Luo Qian suddenly spoke:

“What intelligence?”

“The Westivian Covenant’s reinforcements are almost here.”

“What?! Reinforcements!”

In an instant, joy immediately surged into Mu Yelan’s lifeless pupils.

Without a doubt, this news could be considered the only good news he had heard in these past days.

“Where have the reinforcements reached?!”

“They’ve reached near Yanzan Pass in Shazhou City. And they seem to have already engaged the Vassals of Sky… The Water Prison Dragon King and Azure Thunder Dragon King have both appeared on that battlefield.”

“D…..”
