Lucien said goodbye to Alden and Ron, then gave his wives their equipment, and sent them to the Purple World while he headed to his female troops' barracks.
Some of the younger girls wanted to travel with Lucien. As they were already at the level of his troops or stronger, they would not slow down the group's speed and just use the opportunity to enjoy the time next to their beloved husband.
Of course, they could always go in and out of the Purple World, because although the portal consumes a small amount of demonic energy. Lucien could easily recover that amount quickly with a few kisses and touches, which the girls love.
Arriving at the training courtyard, Lucien saw his female troops lined up, ready for the trip just as Kylee ordered.
They were not wearing the medium and light armor that Rebecca had made, but ordinary clothes to maximize their speed.Lucien had no way of giving all of them storage treasures with great capacities, but he looted from his enemies many magic backpacks, which has enough space for his troops to store their armor, weapons, and other items like first aid equipment and food.
Since Lucien could hear everything in three mile radius, and Lust could use her senses in a five mile radius. They can travel in normal clothes, and if they find anything dangerous nearby, the troops can quickly equip their equipment to fight.
Lucien stood in front of his troops and spoke to all of them. "If anyone has any doubts or any other issue to resolve, this is the time to speak, as we will be going to battle, where I hope that none of us will die. But in real combat, there is always a possibility of death."
None of the women made a sound or movement. They just looked at Lucien with respectful and expectant looks, thinking that any risk is worthy of their Master's rewards.
"So, if everything is ready, let's start moving." Lucien smiled and headed for the city's south gate with his troops and some of his wives.
He ordered Alden to take Mason with the male troops the next day while Jeanne would follow Lucien to fight alongside him. Jeanne's deceased sister was very fond of Cassidy, so she was also doing this to help the real Queen recover her crown.
Lucien had no worries about the male troops following him the next day since although they don't love him like his female troops, they are very loyal and know that their good new life was given them by Lucien so they will always follow him, as their leader.Also, the Black Mark, despite not harming their bodies without reason, will make them feel sick if they disobey his orders. But it wouldn't reach that point, since everyone agrees with his orders and wants the rewards, in the case of men, It's gold and women, of course.
Although Lucien wanted Rebecca very much as his personal blacksmith, he knew that right now she needs to focus on repairing the armor for his male troops and having her traveling with them would slow their pace.
Of course, after conquering Portgreen, he would either go back to take her or send someone since he would not give up on her.
Lucien couldn't help but draw the attention of Bluewind's population while leaving the city with his troops. The first and second princesses were also at his side.
Angela preferred to stay in the Purple World because she had not announced her departure from the city. It was already getting late, and she knew that if she abruptly said that she wouldn't be staying in Bluewind anymore, it would only cause the people to panic.
She was sure that Ron would take care of everything very well, but she also wants to come back later and announce her departure in a more calm and explained way. Her focus right now is on fighting alongside the man she chose as her husband.
Although Lucien always keeps a low profile, everyone in town knew who he is and thought he was going for another battle simulation.
He greeted the guards at the gate and left the city. Although Bluewind city is small as it is a vassal Kingdom and not as incredible as Portgreen city, Lucien would always have a special affection for it.
As usual, time was not at his side. Lucien and his group wasted no time, and soon after crossing the gates, they started running towards the south.
His female troops were used to intense exercises with their Master, so they could run for several hours at a constant high speed and in an organized manner.
Lucien thought Oya would like to run with them as well as some of his wives, but mama tigress had spent the last few days lying on her big sofa in the main hall of his home.
Although she didn't know how to communicate, Lucien could feel from their connection that she was feeling a little uncomfortable. Lust explained that she was going through the same process as his wives when they were about to enter the Mortal Realm.
Mystic beasts have the same evolution of power as people. Although Oya has been very strong since she met Lucien, they could not have sex, and so it took her a long time to reach that level, just with pats and drinking his essence.
Also, girls like Maggie, Mia, Marie, Lena, and Anne were very close to reaching the Mortal Realm, so Lucien thought it would be worth a great "night training" session before entering Portgreen.
Of course, his intention is to arrive on the outskirts of the city and set up a camp while exploring his options and analyzing the current state of the conflict between the mercenaries and adventurers.
So they went on their journey. The group passed through roads and fields until they entered the great forest to the south. Despite being a huge group, they were very quiet and fast as the wind.
The night came, and ten hours later, the morning followed. Although the troops could run much longer before they needed to rest and Lucien's women could run even longer without rest. But he still thought it would be good to take a break.
It took Lucien six hours to be able to give his essence to all the troops, even though three or four of them could drink a good amount of it with each of his great orgasms.
Cumming so many times in a short period of time was a challenge even for his incredible regenerative capabilities. Still, the demonic energy he generates is the best combination that can exist for his life mana, allowing Lucien not to get tired.
The six hours break was actually an excellent gain of time because, after his boost, the group was able to increase their speed as the troops felt like they had unlimited energy.
So, the group reached the edge of the forest near the western walls of Portgreen city in another ten hours, they traveled that route in the fastest time in Portgreen's history.
26 hours of travel. The difference was so great that it didn't even compare to the A-rank spy specialized in speed, who needed four days to get the report to Lucien, running as fast as he could.
Lucien told the troops to set up camp on the hill that Cassidy and the other girls used to wait for Lucien when they fled the city in the past, while he went to the very edge of the forest.
The forest was just over a mile from the city walls. Lucien couldn't help remembering the chaos that happened there with Rose's earthquake.
The cracks in the ground and the wall had been fixed, and now there was no trace of that incident.
Unlike that area outside the walls, inside the city, the situation was quite different. Lucien could see smoke rising in several places and hear small battles and conflicts on all sides as far as his hearing could reach.
He quickly opened the portal so his wives could leave the Purple World.
Cassidy, Olivia, and Scarlett looked at the city with concerned expressions. The three women like Portgreen very much. Of course, for different reasons. But their reasons for liking Portgreen don't really matter anymore after meeting Lucien.
"Is the situation really bad?" Cassidy asked Lucien.
He shook his head. "I only hear small battles. Unless bigger battles are happening in other areas. I think they still haven't attacked each other with full force yet."
Olivia couldn't help but comment. "Even if the two groups hate each other, they will not want to decimate each other. I bet Ivan is trying to absorb the mercenaries under his leadership, just like he always wanted."
Scarlett nodded. "Yes. The same should be true for Black Hand, but he's a mindless idiot who didn't do that when he had the chance."
"Humm..." Lucien was forcing his senses as far as he could to get more information. Still, Portgreen city is quite big. With approximately two hundred thousand inhabitants in total, the city is fifteen miles square of area.
Olivia and Scarlett approached Lucien together. "Hubby..."
Cassidy, who was at his side, took a step back and let them hold his arms.
Lucien knew that his plan to use their influence was what motivated him to get close to them in the first place. But, now that he has developed such affection for them, using them seemed wrong, and Lucien feared that something bad could happen to them.
Still, they would not be entering enemy territory but reuniting with their teammates, who didn't know that they were no longer on their sides. Also, Rose, Astrid, Ghilanna, and Angela will be going with them, and he could communicate with them mentally at all times.
Although mental communication takes time to be mastered and also has to do with the development of the girl's relationship with Lucien, the main limitation is the girl's power level.
Lucien's wives below the Mortal Realm can communicate with him at a maximum distance of approximately twenty-five miles while the women at Mortal Realm can do it at fifty miles, both more than enough distance to maintain communication with Lucien from one side of the city to the other.
He hugged Olivia in one arm and Scarlett in the other while kissing their foreheads. "Don't take unnecessary risks and report any problems to me."
The girls giggled, and Scarlett commented. "Such an overprotective husband."
He laughed. "Is that bad?"
Olivia hugged him tighter as she responded as all his wives would do. "We love it."
"Ok, ok. I also want to say goodbye to hubby." Rose approached while speaking in a fake upset tone.
As soon as Olivia and Scarlett left Lucien's embrace, Rose jumped on him with her lips already cut to start the bloody kiss, which she loves so much.
Lucien held her in his arms and also cut his lips, so they kissed passionately.
Astrid, who also wanted to give Lucien a goodbye hug, can't help but comment. "The spoiled little vampire attacks again."
Everyone laughed while Lucien and Rose kissed for just a minute, a very short time compared to their usual bloody kisses. Of course, it was enough for the little vampire to be happy.
Then Astrid came over and also kissed Lucien while they hugged. He put his hand inside her panties and squeezed her ass directly, making her softly moan.
He hugged Angela and Ghilanna the same way. Olivia and Scarlett also wanted another hug and with a squeeze on their asses.
So they went to the city with their faces blushed and the warmth of his hand on their asses.
"Take care." Lucien could not help but speak while waving at them.
It was already dusk. Still, the girls wore hoods to avoid being recognized and they used different paths to enter the city.
Olivia is still one of the leaders of the Guild, while Astrid is an adventurer known as Ravenous and Ghilanna... Well, The cute elf could easily claim to be related to Glen, the S-Rank elf archer.
So they would have no problem moving around the city in the guild area without being in danger, while Scarlett, the famous Red Lady, would also have no problem moving around the mercenary area with Rose and Angela.
In fact, they would be very welcome in such chaotic times…
