In the western region outside the capital city of the Manasvir Empire, Macnadix City, where Prince Bilberg’s million-troop army is stationed. More than a million troops had finished assembling and they were split into 100,000 unit legions which had begun their march one by one towards the imperial city. When Bella and Kriss arrived nearby the barracks, the first and second legions had already been sent out, and the third legion was preparing to depart.

Unless facing widespread holy light dispersal, the undead and the like don’t have as many weaknesses. In comparison, the army of the human race has too many weaknesses. If their provisions are destroyed, or if their supplies can’t keep up with them, or if their commander was heavily injured, all of those could affect the morale of the entire army. Prince Bilberg was so overconfident in his own strength that he didn’t even dispatch any sentries.

Bella and Kriss did not see a single patrolling sentry when they descended on the opposite hill that was overlooking the camp. Bella had no intention of completely burying the million plus human troops right now. She wanted to force Prince Bilberg back. It wouldn’t actually be that hard if she really wanted to wipe out his troops. All she had to do was gather a group of Abyssal Marching Ants and Abyssal Blood-Sucking Mosquitoes and let them charge.

After observing Prince Bilberg’s base camp for a while, Bella really had to admire the courage of this prince. To dare rebel without even a single mage. He truly is quite the gutsy guy. Not only that, he didn’t even have a regular cavalry regiment. They’re all infantry troops. If it weren’t for the urgent military situation in the north, causing the northern warlord Prince Ernest to have to call back his troops, then Prince Bilberg’s army wouldn’t even have a 30% chance of winning against Prince Ernest’s cavalry. He really got lucky.

“Bella, should we take out their commander? Even though that Prince Bilberg is a rebel by birth and has some fight in him, there’s no pressure for us to deal with him.”

“I’m more interested in him retreating, Kriss. You see, you can tell at a glance that camp at the rear is where they keep their provisions. We just have to burn that and let him know that the road ahead has already been sealed by Abyss Demonic Beings. If he still doesn’t retreat, then he’s been living for nothing.”

“Alright, I’ll follow you, Bella, so tell me your plan!”

The supply center of the western army was located at the army’s rear. The sign of the granary was very obvious and there was also a large flag with a grain symbol hanging above, as if they were worried other people wouldn’t know where their supplies were located. With how death-seeking they were being, it was a miracle they weren’t hit by a surprise raid till today.

There were originally quite a lot of soldiers stationed at their food stores. Half of the soldiers guarding the place had been transferred out during their mass mobilization, creating a void in their defense. Bella and Kriss rode their magic carpet, quietly advancing towards their food stores. The sky was exceptionally gloomy tonight. Even though it was day, the sky was still covered in dark clouds. Unlike the dark clouds during a rain, these dark clouds were due to the dark weather that appears when Abyss Demonic Beings appear in large droves and when an Abyss Creator descends.

Prince Bilberg’s army did not contain even a single priest and they had no one to warn them of the ominous weather. Bella and Kriss easily ascended to a watchtower under the cover of the dark clouds. Before the guard on the watchtower could react, he was instantly split into two by the vertical flash of a blade.

“Kriss, you...You’re even more skilled at killing than I am. Could you leave some work for me too?”

“Sorry Bella, it’s been a long time since...That’s why I got a little excited.”

After landing in the watchtower, Bella poked her head out to observe the entrance to the granary not far below and found many guards guarding the entrance of that super-granary. They’ll need some strong magic if they want to destroy that. Neither she and Kriss were proficient at this sort of magic. If Mage Ariel, their mage profession friend, was around, then this might be easier.

Bella’s airship fleet was far away from the duchy of Sarnia and Angelos, and the repairs of the magic teleportation array weren’t over yet. Otherwise, Bella could have just set up the cannons and blown up the granary from the hill at the front. There was no need for them to sneak around with so much trouble.

There’s only one better way now, and that is to sneak into the granary and burn it. Prince Bilberg’s camp doesn’t have any mages in it so if they really were to be faced with a massive fire, they’re definitely done for without any water mages. Bella kept some specially refined corpse oil in the storage ring that she obtained from the beautiful Necromancer Kleina. Its combustive properties were as effective as petroleum from Earth. If they could get inside the granary and set it on fire, then Prince Bilberg’s army would be forced to retreat for their food problem.

“It’d be nice if someone could bring us in there. Noreya isn’t here, but if she were, then having an assassin like her destroy the locks and sneak in would be no problem. But now...Huh? That’s...”

“Bella, that’s...You’re really quite lucky to be able to meet pretty girls everywhere you go. That’s Young Mistress Martha from Prince Bilberg’s family! She counts as a princess, right?”

Outside the granary, Bella’s eyes that seemed to come with their own pretty girl radar soon caught sight of a beautiful young lady. It was Prince Bilberg’s daughter, Young Mistress Martha. Martha was the only knight in this barracks, and as the only one with a mount, she stood out in the barracks full of infantry. Martha studied in the northern Octavia Empire. Since Bella studied at Olsylvia Academy, she naturally had never seen her.

Martha had long wavy hair with a pair of red eyes. She had a tall figure and as a knight, her chest size was a pass. You could tell at a glance that you couldn’t fully grasp them with one hand. Martha belonged to the icy beauty type and had a heroic quality no other beautiful maiden had. The expression on her beautiful face was serious.

Bella had encountered Princess Pamela before who also led troops. Compared to Martha, Pamela was clearly more playful in nature. What’s more, Martha was a newly promoted dragon knight. She was just a step away from heading to Dragon Valley to find her own mount. Her strength was at the top of the rankings in the entire western army’s base camp.

Right now, Martha was wearing dark golden knight’s armor and was riding on a snow-white warhorse. She seemed to be looking around her somewhat nervously. As a dragon knight, she was not like that old man at home who could only see the immediate benefits in front of him and not the full picture. She had always firmly opposed Prince Bilberg’s plan to coup, which directly led to the splitting of their father-daughter relationship.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was a dragon knight and had the Octavia Empire at her back, then Prince Bilberg’s ambitiousness may have caused him to disregard their relationship and deal with Martha. To know that someone opposes your plan and to still keep them around will eventually lead to problems. Prince Bilberg simply gave her a position as the granary’s deputy management officer and let her stay in the rear in an idle position.

Dragon knights are sensitive to dark energy, so Martha had already sensed the ominous message from the dark clouds. In the eyes of the others, these may just be regular old dark clouds, but to Martha, she could see all the mutilated souls and the badly distorted weeping faces. It was made up of the souls of those who died after being tortured and killed by terrifying demons like the Abyss Demonic Beings. The hundreds and thousands of mercenaries that went before them have probably already turned into spirits and ascended to heaven.

The powerful aura of resentment caused a cold sweat to break out of Martha. The entire area around the Manasvir Empire’s capital, Macnadix City, had long since been taken over by mutated demons despite the darkness of the city being perfectly concealed. Martha had long sensed the leftover darkness that it could not conceal.

That was also the reason why she so vehemently opposed marching into the imperial capital. The ominous aura was truly too strong. However, Martha was only a newly promoted dragon knight and not a priest of the Radiant Church. Whether anyone would believe that there was a large aura of death within the capital city was unknown, but Prince Bilberg would definitely have her locked up in order to not disturb the morale of the army. For the sake of remaining free, Martha chose to keep quiet for now.

Things felt bad today. Martha could already sense a pair of eyes that were peeping at her without any fear. This voyeur did not conceal their overbearing aggression in the slightest, and their sight was roaming all over Martha’s body as if it could see through her. It made Martha very uncomfortable.

As a dragon knight and the daughter of Commander-in-Chief Prince Bilberg, no ordinary soldier would dare look at her that way. With eyes laced with anger and intimidation, Martha looked towards the source of that piercing gaze and found it to come from the watchtower. Could it be one of the guards?

“Young Mistress Martha, what’s wrong? Someone’s manning that watchtower today. I think it’s a new guy. He’s called...”

“No need to tell me. I’ll go up there and take a look. You just wait here.”

“Understood.”

Probably out of absolute confidence in her strength as a dragon knight, Martha jumped off her warhorse and climbed up the watchtower alone. She never would have expected that a Demon King level existence such as Bella would be doing these reconnaissance missions that were usually done by cannon fodder. If she did, then she would not have climbed that watchtower alone.

The blood on the floor of the watchtower had already dried. As soon as she climbed up, Martha saw the corpse of the guard that had already been split in half on the wooden floorboards. The attackers were surprisingly a black-haired young woman and a silver-haired one. Both their faces were covered by their own demonic enchantments, which caused their entire faces to be covered in black mist. It was impossible to tell who they were at all. Nobody else seemed to be here, so they could only be the ones who took out the guard.

“Who are you people? You’re not even wearing assassin’s...”

Before Martha could finish her sentence, the silver-haired girl suddenly rushed over and attacked. A dragon knight had a quick reaction time, but the other party’s strength was clearly better. Martha’s hand, that was just about to unsheath her sword, froze, and that sword along with the armor and the clothes underneath it on her right hand were directly shattered into dust. The fair skin of her right hand was instantly laid bare in the air.

Kriss’s strength was even more perverse than Bella had expected. That attack was so quick that even she herself may not have been able to dodge it, let alone Martha, who only had the capabilities of a junior dragon knight. She had no idea if Kriss’s fallen original body, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan, had gone bad after learning from Bella or if it was just part of the falling, but she definitely did that on purpose. She only shredded Martha’s armor and clothes without attacking further. Based on that insane attack speed, it wouldn’t have been a problem for her to shred Martha’s person entirely.

“Little Sister Martha, don’t ask so many questions! Your armor is an eyesore so let big sister cool you off!”

“What...You...Don’t you even dream of having your way! I’ll have you know I am a dragon...”

Kriss attacked Martha once more. She was like one of those sword saints in those martial arts novels. She wasn’t holding a sword in her hand, but there were sword auras floating all around her. Martha had already activated her dragon knight’s exclusive protective barrier, but it was still useless. Not even her reliable knight protective barrier could resist the random attacks of Myriad Sword Demon Krysan.

After the shadow of a sword aura cut past, Martha’s armor along with the clothes inside was shredded into dust together with the barrier. Kriss’s full-body clothes explosion was an elegant and beautiful sight, much more so than Bella’s brutal ways. However, this was still unable to hide the “shaking S” tendencies of Kriss’s fallen form. It was fact that she and Bella were both dirty girls, and from her skilled technique, Bella seriously doubted that this was Kriss’s first rodeo. She definitely tried it before this.

Being suddenly stripped naked, Dragon Knight Martha finally realized the danger of her opponents. She wanted to turn tail and flee but it was too late. Bella had already moved behind her without anyone noticing and caught her from behind while she was distracted. Her two hands engaged in a very skilled “breast assault”, manipulating the two sensitive points in front of Martha’s chest, pinching those alluring little “grapes” with her dainty fingers.

“Don’t move, Miss Martha, or I’ll really give it a good squeeze. Don’t blame me when the soldiers below see you like this.”

“You...What are you trying to do? Don’t mess around, I...”

“Miss Martha, I’m going to borrow your identity and head into the barracks so tell us everything. We’re all girls here. We won’t make things hard on you.”

“I...I refuse! That place is...is...Fine. I understand.”

Martha was unable to see Bella, who was holding her from behind, from this angle and couldn’t see what she looked like. Bella was holding Martha from behind while her hands kneaded naughtily at her plump breasts, her small mouth gently licking her delicate ears. As was proven, even the most iciest of beauties are unable to break free under Bella’s teasing. They will eventually allow her to break their wills.

Bella did not realize that as she was currently in her main form as a Demon God, whispering so close to a beautiful maiden’s ear was akin to using a Demon God’s special hypnosis magic, “Demon God’s Whispers”, which was even more effective than the hypnosis magic of Great Magister Orlando. If not controlled properly, or if the user’s intentions were obviously malicious, then it would turn the opponent into an unconscious doll immediately. If the Demon God wishes it, then the enchanted person would forever become this World Destructor’s puppet.

Compared to normal hypnosis magic, Bella’s “Demon God’s Whispers” is one that can easily control even your average goddess. Martha is only a dragon knight and her mental strength was far below that of a goddess. After a flash of clarity in her eyes, she quickly acquiesced. Fortunately, Bella wasn’t so good at using this ability. Since her intentions weren’t malicious, Martha was only temporarily “hypnotized”. It wasn’t permanent yet.

Bella obtained the key from Martha to the outer door of the granary as well as Prince Bilberg’s family crest, which was Martha’s proof of identity as a princess. According to the information they obtained from Martha, the key to the inner door of the granary is in the hands of her silk-pants good-for-nothing older brother, Bildak. As long as they can get the keys from him, they’ll be able to get into the granary.

Bella put away the keys and Martha’s proof of identity and then passed Martha over to Kriss to be watched over. This is her “special” war trophy after all, she can’t just toss it aside. After dealing with that, Bella took out the dragon knight armor that her Little Sister Lisha had entrusted into her possession, changed into Princess Felia’s body, and put on Lisha’s dragon knight armor.

Dragon knight armor sets are all made by the Octavia Empire, and unlike the men’s dragon knight armor that came in several different styles, the ones for women came in only one style. Martha’s dragon knight armor was the same style as those of the rest of the beautiful maiden dragon knights. And, with all of them being blonde beauties, Bella just had to put on the armor and a mask. If they didn’t pay close attention to her eyes, nobody would be able to tell that she was an imposter.

“Kriss, please take care of Young Mistress Martha, okay? This is a trophy of our first hunt together. It has some sentimental value.”

“Not everyone is as terrible as you are, Bella! My ways are much more elegant than yours.”

Kriss declined to comment and gave Bella a special “gentleman-to-gentleman” look that didn’t require extra words, and Bella stepped off of the watchtower with an easy heart. After watching Bella leave, a naughty grin arose on Kriss’s flawless face, just like the one often seen on Bella’s face. She took out a thin purple rose from her storage ring and looked at Dragon Knight Martha, who was a little confused after opening her dazed eyes.

“Come here, little Martha. Big sister is going to teach you a fun little game and dress you up a little.”

“You...No...don’t...Help...Mmh...”

Before Martha could cry for help, her little mouth was temporarily turned mute by Kriss’s secret skill and she could only watch as Kriss posed her into strange and humiliating positions before tying her up with the thin purple rope, putting her up into even more shameful and alluring positions. Bella had left in such a hurry that she didn’t even have the time to look back. Unfortunately, she missed the opportunity to have an advanced “academic exchange” with a peer.

“Is anything strange going on up there, Young Mistress Martha?”

“Ahem, nothing... I gave that new recruit a warning. Right, back to the granary. I’ve got some matters to deal with.”

“Didn’t you just patrol the granary, Young Mistress Martha? Why are you...”

“I just forgot something. Do I have to report back to you about that as well?”

“This subordinate dares not ask that! Please quell your anger, young mistress.”
