Combat Maid Harem

“I will follow behind,” Lawrend said.

He floated down to the ground and watched as the mage army sped past over his head to the tall walls in front of them. Ember followed behind him obediently without saying anything.

“Master, what will you do after this?” Ember somberly asked.

She realized that with how things were progressing, he would be able to complete his goal of taking over the Blumin Empire soon. Of course, it would still require him to defeat the Blumin Emperor.

But because she didn’t doubt him, she believed it was all inevitable.

“I will return to my kingdom and spend a few months with my maids and family. I might even stay for a couple of years and wait for my children to mature. And after that, I will go with you to the Ignis Clan,” Lawrend answered.

“Are you going to marry all of them too?” Ember asked, a little bit nervous about his answer.

“Yes. My heart has them in it. I will marry all of them.” Lawrend stopped walking and looked northeast. He reminisced about the appearance of his maids.

Far away from them in that direction was the Undrasil Kingdom’s capital. His maids were currently living a peaceful life there. Not in this gruesome war he was presently waging.

“I want you all for myself, Master,” Ember said solemnly.

She stared into his eyes without fear. She stood straight and conveyed her emotions through them.

“I will never turn my back against them,” Lawrend replied in the same serious wavelength.

“…Hmph. I’m disappointed because I know you are serious, Master,” Ember replied and looked away from him.

She tried her best, but when she saw the seriousness in his eyes, she knew it was futile to attempt further. It would only hurt their relationship. He might even hate her if she somehow succeeded.

She might have his heart all for himself, but it would be a torn and tattered heart. She doesn’t want that. She wanted the him right now.

“It’s good that you know your limits. I would’ve punished you severely if you continued,” Lawrend said and winked at her. He then continued walking and pretended nothing had happened.

“Ngh…” Ember’s face turned red as she remembered his punishment to her a few days ago.

She wanted to become angry at him for teasing her, but she couldn’t find the courage to.

Lawrend ignored the aroused Ember and focused on Werschile City. The mages swarmed the city with their mana oozing out of their bodies, intimidating the residents inside.

It didn’t even take a few seconds before a white flag was raised above the city’s highest point. They were already prepared to surrender the moment they arrived.

“Kill those who attempt to attack,” Julianne ordered as she watched over from above.

“Surrender!!!” the army shouted.

Without any suspense, the whole city surrendered. Some loyalists were waiting in ambush with their suicide spells, but it was futile. The army only suffered a single casualty in total.

After taking over the city, a temporary headquarter was set up. Lawrend, Ember, and the three envoys were inside the room together.

“What is your plan for this city, Your Imperial Majesty?” Julianne asked.

Lawrend sat on his throne with his head down as he thought for a while. A few minutes later, he raised his head and said, “Copy all of their bureaucracy and merge them with the bureaucracy of the Undrasil Kingdom. After that, send the new bureaucracy to the other City Lords in the kingdom.”

“What about the Mage Guild? They aren’t interfering in the war, but they are a huge influence in this city,” Julianne asked.

The Mage Guild wasn’t just for show. They could mobilize the mages in their city if they paid a high enough price. It was a possible risk for them to raise a coup as soon as they left.

“Mage Guild? Don’t worry. They probably already knew my identity. They are smart enough to know not to stab my back,” Lawrend replied.

He was quite confident the Mage Guild would stay neutral because the Mage Guild was still nothing before the three great clans. Lawrend wasn’t knowledgeable about it, but he could guess that the three great clans had some control over the guild.

Only Heaven Mages could control these Earth Mages, after all.

“What about the Sword Guild? They have been pretty quiet lately. Although they don’t have a lot of members in this region, they are still quite big.”

“Do they even have a Heaven Sword?” Lawrend asked.

Heaven Swords were comparable to Heaven Mages. The difference was the absolute speed and agility they had with their attacks. A Heaven Mage would have to keep a certain distance between them, or they would be sliced before they could react.

“Heaven Swords are very rare, Your Imperial Majesty. I have never heard a piece of single news about one,” Julianne said and shook her head.

Unlike the mage system, the sword system was tough to follow. Many give up and follow the much easier mage system.

“There are two Heaven Swords,” Ember interjected.

“Oh? Are you sure?” Lawrend raised an eyebrow after hearing her words.

He was interested. It also surprised him at the little amount of them.

Ember nodded her head and continued, “Legend has it that the two of them were lifelong rivals. The two of them had many disciples, and they sought to compete with each other. Only when the three great clans birthed many Heaven Mages did they finally reconcile and join together.

“This was also the reason why two swords are clashing together in the emblem of the Sword Guild. It represented the two forefathers of Swordsmen.”

The three envoys looked at each other with awe. They were high-ranking members of their empire, but they had never heard about this legend before.

Lawrend was also amazed at the story behind the two. He couldn’t help but want to meet them. He also itched to fight against Heaven Swords once he became a Heaven Mage.
