Combat Maid Harem

“Let’s go sleep. It’s already deep into the night,” Lawrend said to Ember.

She nodded her head and followed him out of the makeshift headquarters. They then entered their own room in the inn.

It would still take a while before the scouting party could respond with new information. Lawrend wanted to practice magic during this free time.

If they were attacked at such a time, the mages left to watch outside would be able to warn them. Besides, Lawrend had absolute confidence in his new magic formation.

Lawrend and Ember meditated on the bed as soon as they were inside. No need for a bath as the battle was imminent. Not to mention, it was hard for them to smell bad even if they wanted to due to the powerful mana coursing through their bodies.

The only reason Lawrend took a bath every day was for enjoyment.

Lawrend consolidated what he learned from setting up the magic formation. Creating one and setting up one were two entirely different things. Sometimes what he created on paper needed to be modified for it to be properly set up.

And so, Lawrend immersed himself in the world of magic formations.

Meanwhile, Ember felt pressured. She could feel the gap increasing between the two of them. She initially told him that she would defeat him one day. At this rate, she would never be able to do it.

Powerful fire mana rotated around Ember’s body. She turned into a mini storm as she crazily absorbed and purified mana. She used everything she had learned from him and everything she ever knew to accelerate her improvement.

She wasn’t satisfied with becoming a powerful Earth Mage. Instead, she wanted to become a powerful Heaven Mage. It was the only way for her to defeat him.

Lawrend could naturally feel the changes in the fire mana around him. He was satisfied with her reaction. She was really perfect.

Several hours passed silently.

And then, morning came. Lawrend opened his eyes when he felt the warm sunlight touch his skin.

He instantly thought about his Supernova spell.

“O’ Ra, bring us light, disperse the darkness, warm our cold hearts…”

Lawrend smiled. He didn’t expect to get a new line for his spell at this moment.

He opened his eyes and stared out the window. The city was very silent. Only the infrequent sound of horse hooves could be heard.

“Ember?” Lawrend called out.

Ember’s eyelids trembled. She opened her eyes, and the mini storm of fire mana around her disappeared.

“Master?”

Ember stared at him in confusion.

“Let’s go.”

Lawrend didn’t wait for her and exited the room. Ember hastily followed after him. The two of them returned to the makeshift headquarters.

“Your Imperial Majesty,” Otor called out.

He was the only one in the room.

“Where are the others?” Lawrend asked.

“They are taking a rest.”

“Any news from the scouting party?”

“Yes. They found no signs of anyone from the Blumin Empire. I think they are afraid of directly confronting us,” Otor reported.

“Hmmm… Alright. Leave a battalion here. We’re going to the next city,” Lawrend said.

He wasn’t that surprised. After no signs of the Blumin Empire last night, he already predicted they were retreating. The mana shockwave caused by his Supernova spell definitely alarmed them.

“Are we leaving now, Your Imperial Majesty?”

“Yes. We already gave them a lot of time by staying here for a night.”

“I will inform the mage army,” Otor replied and respectfully bowed before he left.

Lawrend left the temporary headquarters. He headed directly to the 2nd Battalion of the mage army.

He stopped in a hallway and suddenly thought about what he should name the mage army.

“Ember, what do you think of the name ‘Elemental Storm Imperial Army’?” Lawrend asked.

“It sounds powerful, Master,” Ember replied.

“Do you have any suggestions for their name?”

“Uhh…” Ember’s eyes darted around as she tried to come up with a suitable name. “How about ‘Lawrend Imperial Army’?”

“Elemental Storm Imperial Army it is,” Lawrend said.

“E-eh?”

Ember blinked her eyes at him in confusion. Was her answer not cool? It was named after him! She became downcast because of it.

The duo rode a carriage and finally arrived at the 2nd Battalion’s encampment.

This place was located on one of the streets in the city. Several temporary tents were set up along the road. Many of the mages were awake, and huge pots were set up in the center.

“Your Imperial Majesty!”

A soldier noticed them walking down from the carriage and cried out. He saluted him by placing his right hand on his left chest. The nearby soldiers hurriedly did the same.

It created a domino effect as the mages farther away followed suit. A figure ran towards them at his top speed from the encampment.

“What brings you here, Your Imperial Majesty?” Niko asked.

He was rather calm and not panting. If he was a mortal, he would’ve panted from the high speed he ran.

“From this moment onwards, your battalion is assigned to protect this city. You will use the formation I set up to hold onto this city. Kill anyone who attempts to siege or rebel!” Lawrend ordered solemnly.

His serious eyes made Niko shudder. He was proud of himself, but he felt nothing in front of Lawrend. Just like a cat meeting a lion.

“I will follow your command till death!” Niko vowed.

It was the response he thought fitted this mission.

“Okay. Gather everyone. I will conduct another lesson,” Lawrend said.

“Long live Your Imperial Majesty!” x1000

The whole 2nd Battalion responded. Their voices reverberated down several streets.

And so, Lawrend spent two hours giving the 2nd Battalion a lesson. During that short lesson, he also taught them how to properly use the magic formation. After finishing, he left the city with the nine other battalions.

Of course, using it also required a key, and he gave it to Niko. It wasn’t useful for him since he could control the formation however he wanted because he created it.
