<h4>Volume 4 Chapter 163: The Deception n Of Pretending To Be ck Robed Witches</h4>


    Trantor: The Light


    Edits by Kenny


    The southern border region of Gabriel Empire, Nn City, the former capital of Nonder Duchy, the ve market in the central area of the city.


    Under the orders of White Wolf Princess Tania, the ve traders temporarily left the market with regret. For the time being, this was now the territory of the Wolfmen, and these Beastmen had the final say.


    However, Be and herpanions didn’t leave. They were currently pretending to be ck Robed Witches, who were the members of the Dark Human Race. She wanted to see what this wolf girl was going to do. Emily’s eyes were fixed on Be; she was herst hope.


    “What are you... Didn’t Master Keh tell you to go...”


    Princess Tania looked at Be in bewilderment. They were dressed like ck Robed Witches and should be Keh’s subordinates. Although she was dissatisfied with all the evil experiments carried out by the Dark Humans, Tania didn’t dare to shed all pretence of cordiality.


    Fortunately, Dark Humans also spoke the humannguage. Tania talked to Be and herpanions in the humannguage. Had she spoken in Beastmennguage, she believed that none of them could understand it.


    “Master Keh has arranged another task for us. You don’t need to know. We’re here on a mission. You don’t have to worry about us.”


    A trace of dissatisfaction appeared across Tania’s face. Their arrogance angered her. The Wolfmen were a proud race. Since when did these Dark Humans have the right to talk to her in such an arrogant tone?


    In the recent siege, the Wolfmen had lost around ten thousand soldiers at the edge of Sarni City walls but made no progress. Sarni City was still as stable as a mountain, and Princess Tania had grown a little impatient. All the dead soldiers were her own people, while few of the Dark Humans had lost their lives as well.


    “In that case, I won’t disturb you frompleting your task. Men, take the prisoners...”


    “Wait, what are you doing?”


    At Tania’smand, the Wolf Cavalry, who had followed her, carriedrge wooden boxes over. Each of these boxes was just enough to fit a person and iron locks had been installed inside them to fasten the goods in ce.


    At a nce, Be saw that these boxes were for carrying ves. The Beastmen Army intended to transport the girls elsewhere. Once they were packed and transported separately, Be wouldn’t be able to save them. Therefore, she stepped in to stop Princess Tania.


    “Didn’t your Master Keh request to send these girls to the altar as living sacrifices to the demons? Why, are you... “


    “About this... Master Keh told us to take over. Just leave the boxes here. We’ll do the loading.”


    Keh was the suprememander sent by the Dark Humans to the Beastmen and was the actual person in control behind the entire Beastmen invasion force. Even Harrington, the Wolfmanmander, obeyed him.


    Tania didn’t know how she could express her dissatisfaction, but she left the wooden boxes behind and led her team away. She felt that Keh regarded her as a fool and tricked her. Since he had other ns, why make here all this way here?


    Noreya was afraid that White Wolf Princess Tania would turn around. As soon as she stepped out of the gates of the trade area, Noreya followed up and lurked around near the entrance of the market to help Be and ine keep watch.


    Keh changed his mind at thest moment but didn’te. Neither did Harrington, themanding general of the Beastmen Army. This time, Be hadn’t reached her goal of infiltration yet. However, her harvest made her somewhat satisfied.


    “Be, what are you going to do with these girls...”


    “ine, we can’t hurt them too. I’ll help you solve the matter of wanting to create living puppets when we get back. My duchess residencecks a bunch of human maids. These... “


    ine secretly discussed with Be for a long time before finally reaching a consensus. Then, ine started her puppet summoning magic. Soon, arge group of puppets came out of the summoning array.


    Under ine’smand, the puppets scattered throughout the trading market, loading young girls, who were still struggling in despair, into boxes. The white, translucent gauze garments that were worn by these beautiful captives were torn up by the puppets.


    Before they could resist, the puppets stripped thempletely and pinned them onto the ground. Then, the puppets drew out a strange potion that they had gotten from who knows where and spread it evenly on the trembling bodies of these beauties.


    These special potions allowed the living to pretend that they were dead and could hide their smell. Besides being able to fool zombies, it informed Be’s army of demons that the Demon King had reserved these young girls. At the same time, it also removed any chance of these beauties from escaping.


    The beautiful girls’ faces were filled with horror. They were even more frightened than when they had been stared at by the ve traders before. They were pinned to the ground; their bodies wiped with strange liquids by these expressionless wooden puppets. What’s worse, after the liquid had been poured all over them, they felt weak and had no strength at all.


    After that, the puppets worked in groups of two and loaded, one by one, dozens of beautiful girls from the market into these boxes. These beautiful girls had all been selected from various aristocratic families within the defeated duchy. Be made a huge bargain this time. She had even saved the money required to hire maids.


    Be and Noreya nned to take these young girls out of Nn City disguised as corpses, taking advantage of the fact that the ck Robed Wizards were trying to suppress the zombie riots in the burialnd and the ck wizards to transport them away. Without the ck Robed Wizards at the checkpoints, the Beastmen guards were toozy to look through the carriage that was carrying corpses.


    As for their final destination, naturally, they would be Be’s maids for life. The Duchess’ residence in Sarni City had always been short of human maids. She had been using ghost maids this whole time. Be wanted to hire maids. However, after they knew Be was the Grand Duchess, the pretty girls wouldn’t sign up.


    Those beautiful civilian girls all expected to have sex with their masters, that is, to have rtions with their lords and be their wives. Worsees to worst; they could still obtain a lot of rewards from their lords. Be was a Grand Duchess. If they weren’t boys, how were they to have a rtionship with their superior?


    Emily didn’t know what Be and ine had discussed before. She was too far away, and they were whispering so it was normal that she couldn’t hear them.


    After seeing ine’s army of strange puppets, Emily had a bad feeling. Although puppet arts wasn’t evil magic, it was unusual to be able to summon so many puppets at once.


    Be walked to Emily’s front and removed her underwear made out of precious gems, exposing all her secrets. Amy’s hand had been tied behind her back so that she couldn’t stop her. Be could only enjoy her real side to the fullest.


    “Emily, you choose. Either sell yourself to me or stay behind as a living sacrifice? If you don’t speak, that means you agree with my decision.”


    Be princess-carried Emily and asked her for opinion again. Be’s method had an excellent effect on girls who were bound, and Emily was no exception. On top of the fact that she couldn’t speak, the three days of mental torture and the numbness she felt in her whole body, there was no way she could resist Be. Aside from allowing Be to decide, what else could she do?


    Seeing Emily give in, the daughters of other Lords also gave in. Even Emily, their spiritual pir, had given in. Did they still have to insist? Moreover, Be’s voice had significantly reduced their vignce. Many of them remembered that this was the voice of Duchess Bellina.


    Be personally removed whatever little clothing they had on their bodies. After that, Be personally smeared the mysterious potion all over Emily and the others. Emily only felt as if her body were floating on clouds from Be’s massage. The pleasure almost made her moan out loud. After the massage, Emilyy there weak, allowing Be to do as she pleased.


    “You’ll personally belong to me in the future? Emily, even your father doesn’t want you, so I’ll reluctantly ept you.”


    Before Emily could express her dissatisfaction, Be ced her into the special wooden box and closed it with the lid. There were vents in the box, so she didn’t have to worry that Emily would suffocate to death. Looking at the closed wooden box, Emily felt very anxious. She was the secretary of the Student Union of Kerv Academy but was taken by someone just like that. What the hell was this?!


    Amy struggled in vain, but the box had already been sprayed with the sedative. After a whiff of extraordinary fragrance, Emily felt extremely sleepy. She didn’t persist for long before her tired eyes could no longer stay open. Finally, Emily fell asleep.


    Be looked at Emily with satisfaction through the observation hole in the wooden box. The girl was too tired. It was better if she had a good sleep. When she wakes up, she would belong to Be.


    Right then, the honourabledies discovered the other side to Duchess Bellina, but it was toote. Just like Emily, they were all ced into a box by Be.


    Duke Brandon had run Nn City for decades. There should still be a secret escape route somewhere. Emily had been captured, which most likely meant that she didn’t know the secret passage. Brandon must not have told her the location of the entrance to the secret passage.


    Duke Brandon’s son, Emily’s older brother, had managed to escape. It was expected, the life of the heir was much more valuable than the daughter who wasn’t the heir. Undoubtedly, Emily had been deliberately abandoned by Duke Brandon.


    Therefore, Be didn’t intend to ask Emily about the secret passage. If she had known, she would have escaped sessfully and wouldn’t have fallen into Be’s hands and left at Be’s mercy.


    Before long, a carriage disguised as one to transport corpses set out from the back of the traders market. The carriage was packed with strangerge wooden cases. The ve owners and traders who stayed outside the market were very busy looking for new goods and paid little attention to the carriage carrying corpses.


    None of the ve traders questioned the strange way of transporting the corpses in the boxes. The ve traders who were enthusiastic about their trades didn’t even react to the fact that their best goods had been seized and taken away. Tania had already left with the Wolf Cavalry. If she were still there, Be’s “smuggling operation” would havee to an end.


    Their infiltration mission wasn’t aplete failure. ording to thetest information they obtained, themander-in-chief of the troop of Beastmen Army was set himself in the former Grand Duke Residence of Duke Brandon.


    The trouble was that Great Master Keh, the dark wizard was also there. This guy was themander of the Dark Human reinforcements. He was much smarter than those Beastmen who only knew how to charge forward. Assassinating him was probably the most challenging aspect of this infiltration.


    The southern border region of Gabriel Empire, Sarni City, the capital of Sarnia Duchy, the outer wall defence area.


    Over the past few days, the entire Sarni City was in a state of a fierce battle. The Beastmen’s offensive never stopped, and the Sarnia garrison took shifts in guarding the city walls.


    From the third day onwards, the Beastmen troops received massive reinforcements. By the looks of it, the other three Beastmen troops came to support them.


    Other than the Beastmen troops, there were many Dark Human reinforcements. The ck Robed Wizardsmanded a massive zombie army and stormed the walls of Sarni City.


    Not to be outdone, the human soldiers fought back with arquebus and copper guns. Arge number of zombies were smashed into pieces that scattered the ground by firearms, and the moats were dyed red by their blood.


    Although ine followed Be out of the city on a covert mission, her puppet mages were still on the city walls supporting the magic barrier that guarded the city. Thebined forces of the Beastmen and the Dark Humans came up to about a million soldiers, yet they couldn’t break into the Sarni City, which was defended by only sixty thousand soldiers.


    The sky above Sarni City was still clear. The Dark Humans had tried many times to summon demons to attack the city but were attacked by flying demons of unknown origin and had to give up.


    The demons that were attacking them were reinforcements from the Darkness Sacred Region. The entire aerial space of Sarnia Duchy was firmly under the control of the Darkness Sacred Region, so the Darkness Sacred Region knew every move of the Beastmen Army.


    At the rear of the Sarni City, nearly ten million demon soldiers had assembled. They were ready to receive the Demon King Be’s orders.


    “The Beastmen today are still full of vitality. I wonder how it’s going on older sister’s end.”


    “What’s the matter, Lisha? Are you worried about Be? I don’t think you need to worry. Be hasn’t lost yet!”


    Kriss and Lisha stood on the high inner wall, watching the war as they chatted. At the strong request of Blood Demon King Eleanor, anyone who was involved with Be stood on the rtively safe inner wall. The defence of the middle and outer walls was left to the human soldiers.


    When she heard that Be hadn’t lost before, Lisha turned around and smiled happily. Be’s only defeat so far was to her. This shared secret wasn’t mentioned to anyone by both Be and Lisha. Kriss and the others didn’t know that Be had tasted defeat before.


    After being baptized by several days of the war, the defenders of Sarnia Duchy were able to control firearms in battle skillfully. In their spare time, they would also try to load their gunpowder. After the wave of zombies was repelled, the defenders were leaning against the wall, enjoying their rest time which was hard toe by.


    Just then, the Beastmen Armyunched another attack. This time, there were many mobile cannons in the Beastmen Army. These cannons were the weapons of the Dark Human Continent. The Dark Humans didn’t want to use this weapon until the critical moment.


    The Beastmen cannons were different from the ones used by the human soldiers guarding Sarni City. Theirs were small magic cannons, a simplified version of the magic-guided cannon. Its consumption was lower than a magic-guided cannon, butpared to a standard cannon, it wasn’t a cost-efficient weapon.


    The defenders didn’t bother to rest, starting a new round of counterattacks with their arquebus and copper guns. The “bang-bang” sounds of the weapons came from the top of the wall. Blood Demon King Eleanor who was currently inmand of guarding the city walls was somewhat surprised to see that the Beastmen had simr artillery equipment, but she didn’t panic. She took out a particr copper handgun and shot a crimson pear flower resembling a signal re high into the sky.


    Among the Darkness Sacred Region in the rear of Sarni City, long-range attack positions of more than ten meters had been set up. The giant catapults installed in these positions were more than ten meters tall. After receiving the attack order from Blood Demon King Eleanor, the catapults started up.


    More than ten catapults of long-range attacks were operated almost simultaneously, propelling hundreds of huge rocks. The whole sky was lit up by the mes on these zing rocks. Even the soldiers of Gabriel Empire, who were far away in the southern defence line, could see it clearly.


    “My God, is it a meteorite storm? What’s the situation over there in Sarnia Duchy?”


    At the defence line at the border, Marshal Krisman solemnly looked in the direction of the distant Sarnia Duchy. The victory or defeat of Sarnia Duchy was rted to the dignity of the royal family of Gabriel Empire. Gabriel Empire secretly blocked news of the defeat at the frontlines.


    ording to Hykel who was praised by the Emperor of Gabriel Empire, the human allied forces had already obtained victory in the battle on Vaughan ins, and the defeat of the invading Beastmen would be any day now. In reality, Gabriel Empire had suffered a disastrous loss this time. On top of the fact that tens of thousands of soldiers of the imperial army had died, it took only a few days for all the duchies, except Sarnia, that were meant to shield the border, to be breached by the Beastmen Army.


    If the Sarnia Duchy failed, the Beastmen Army would soon reach the southern defence line of Gabriel Empire, and then the lies would be revealed. Although the Emperor was least optimistic about Grand Duchess Bellina before, arge number of imperial decrees honouring her as a pir of the empire had already filled Marshal Krisman’s office desk.


    The Emperor’s intention was obvious. He wanted to stabilize the Grand Duchess Bellina’s position. The Emperor’s special envoy had repeatedly reminded Marshal Krisman to send the imperial edict to Sarni City. Krisman was currently having a bit of a headache. Millions of Beastmen soldiers surrounded Sarni City. Griffin Knights had no way of flying in. Wasn’t this messing with him?!
