BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64 Cantrell Family I
There were about hundreds of humans and beastkin marching toward the viscounty on the orders of Velian. It has been a few weeks since Davin sent the marriage proposal to the Cantrell family. There were enthusiastic to show the results of their gruesome training with three training demonesses to their leader.
"Do you think this is for the best? Will, we be able to defeat a whole discount by ourselves?" A few of them had doubts about this battle because the viscount should have at least a few thousand soldiers.
"I don't have any doubts, I'm pretty sure, our leaders won't send us recklessly to a losing battle, our little leader must have something planned to deal with those overpowering numbers," It was a beastmen who answered the question.
The ranks in the army were divided into four parts. One was the mage division which excels in attack magic or support magic which cannot be sent to hand-to-hand fights which are led by Daphnia with the support of Lyra.
Daphnia hasn't developed that much becuase she didn't focus on increasing her power that much but Lyra had a major glow-up in her powers. Even though she wasn't an attack mage, she had strong earth spells which can create confusion among enemy ranks.
The second rank was all the martial art warriors or magic swordsmen but there was no magic swordsman except Delviny and Remi among them. Delviny had the most power and the support so she automatically became the commander in that rank. She wanted to stay by Velian side but he refused to let her do that abandoning her position.
The third rank was led by Juni and Old man Gin. They consisted of beastmen who they trained for the battles. All of them were warrior-type because mages are rare among them. Juno wanted the old man to lead the group but he refused to say it was her responsibility as the intermediate between the two groups.
All three of them had 50 each totalling 150. They were various talented in many areas like support or head-on fights.
The last and biggest rank was controlled by Velian himself with the support of Asumi. There were 100 in this rank varying in different talents. There were few beastmen among this rank.
The total of their army counted up to 250 personnel. It's number which will pose no problem to a discount but all of them were trained crazily by battle freaks themselves.
"Sir, we are getting close to the Cantrell viscounty, what should we do?"
"It's not the right time, we will wait for a few hours, tell all soldiers to get ready to attack when I give my signal," Velian advised him before sending him back.
"Veli, are you sure about this? Won't we get into a bigger problem if we attack a discount from the kingdom?" Asumi was a little anxious about this whole thing because she knew how dangerous their act is.
"What? You still don't believe me, aunt, don't worry this will be only our first step, the kingdom is not an opponent I have to fear, at least right now, They are at their weakest now with the attack from the empire if we didn't act right now it will be impossible to counter their attacks when the time comes," Velian fully explained his plan to her which she gave a nod after thinking it thoroughly.
"Aunt, even if the people in this territory don't complain about their lifestyle right now, if they get a chance they will definitely take it, Jerald is a greedy man who imposes taxes left and right and his slave trading is mostly illegal, It will be a walk in the park to take this territory but the real problem is protecting it from the kingdom,"
"I have some plans to implement right after taking this territory so I hope you will help me like earlier," Velian said while taking his seat.
"Of course, you know I consider you as my own son so if you do the right thing I will always help you," Asumiko said without any hesitation.
"Don't worry Aunt after this battle everything will change,"
Davin POV
I was visiting the viscount to discuss about the marriage proposal I sent them. The carriage was shaking so much which caused Naomi to hug me.
"I'm sorry, master," She quickly apologised.
"Haha~ so you're sorry to hug me, I feel hurt Naomi," I was trying to make her flustered which worked perfectly.
"No! master, actually I did it purposely, that's why I said sorry," She came up with an excuse.
I hugged her back quickly which caused her face to blush.
"How do you feel, Naomi, I'm going to get married to a noble daughter, "
"I feel sad master, I don't understand why you asked me to wait but I don't care as long as I can be by your side," I knew she was serious.
Naomi was strict and proper among her colleagues but in front of me, she act like a little sister with a brother complex. It was cute that she showed her this personality only to me but at the same time, I wanted to tell her about the real me.
"Idiot, you know it's for our mission I was joking," I gave a knock which she took smiling.
We were acting like a couple without our knowledge until I got the news of our arrival at our destination which was the Cantrell mansion.
Naomi went back to her former self and observed the surroundings thoroughly,
"Naomi, until I give my signal don't do anything, do you understand?" She knew I was strict with my orders so she nodded her head showing me her approval.
We were welcomed by a huge gate which looked absolutely gorgeous and the mansion of the viscount was even more amazing than anything I have seen.
There were a lot of butlers and maids waiting to welcome us near the entrance of the courtyard.
"Jerald Cantrell, I will make sure you won't die a pleasant death,"
I muttered to myself while giving a pleasant smile to the woman who was waiting near the entrance of the mansion to welcome us.
