Chapter 111: What Came Out of Those Scrolls...
"Sorry, Master." Aurora murmured, lowering her gaze.
Luke finally relaxed and looked behind. There, Aurielle was still glaring at him. On this, he gave her an awkward smile to calm down the situation.
Soon, other people from the territory also appeared with excited smiles on their faces.
"My Lord!!!" After everyone arrived, they kneeled with respect to their lord, who had just returned from his journey.
Seeing the loyalty of everyone, a genuine smile appeared on Aurielle’s face, and her previous emotions also calmed down. Because she was genuinely happy for her husband.
"Rise!" After a while, Luke said to everyone, upon which all of them stood up. Following that, he ordered everyone to come inside the Time Chamber, and there he was also going to check the status of the territory during his absence.
---
Inside the Time Chamber, everything was the same as before. The forest, mountains, and rivers. Nothing changed at all during his absence, which was really a miracle.
’Seems like growth inside the Time Chamber is fixed for this terrain.’ Luke observed and asked Osric about the status of what had happened until now.
Osric came toward Luke and explained that everything started this morning. "My Lord, all of a sudden, we saw smoke rising from almost all the villages and towns present below the mountains."
"After observing this from above, we even saw the flag of the Ashenford family placed there."
"Which confirmed that they had attacked our territory."
"As this news appeared among the masses, panic spread among everyone, and all the merchants and adventurers chose to flee the territory, while the citizens locked themselves behind their gates."
Luke listened seriously to everything, and after Osric had finished narrating, he asked one important question.
"Is their Golden Knight here?" At this question, everyone’s faces changed, as all of them had heard of the terror of a Golden Knight. that what’s Luke thought.
Osric again told what had actually happened. "My Lord, one Early Golden Knight, who was the Ashenford Vice Commander, indeed come, but—"
He paused at this and gave a fearful look toward Aurora, who kept trying to get near Luke. But Aurielle was holding her loose robe to stop her.
The same was true for the other people as well. At this, Luke already felt what had happened before, but he still asked for confirmation.
Osric came out of his earlier thoughts after hearing Luke’s question again. So he told him the scene, which was too absurd.
"My Lord, the Ashenfor Vice Commander did bring all his elites, which included hundreds of Silver Knights and thousands of Bronze Knights."
"B-But... Lady Aurora, alone, with her Early Golden Knight Stage strength, beat all of them so badly that they had to run back down."
"Even their Golden Knight got seriously injured."
"o-o"
Everyone lowered their heads after hearing this. Because they also wanted to show their strength, but she alone overwhelmed the enemy.
Luke also got surprised and turned to look toward Aurora, who had somehow managed to reach him, even with her loose robe getting pulled back.
And because of this, the clear outline of her breast shape could be seen through the robe.
’She shouldn’t wear a loose robe again.’ With this thought, he smiled and praised Aurora while patting her head.
"Aurora is a good girl."
"Master~" Aurora muttered with a lost voice after hearing her master’s praise and his gentle touch, which brought a big smile to her face.
’Is this the same monster who beat every enemy with her hands?’ A big question mark appeared on everyone’s faces after seeing Lady Aurora’s expression.
Because after she badly injured the Golden Knight, she used her hands to keep beating him, even when he was running back.
At that time, the Blackstone Legion even felt that they were the bullies and felt sympathy toward the Golden Knight, who was giving Aurora a look. ’You guys are monsters.’
Meanwhile, Aurielle facepalmed at this scene with a resigned expression. But after a few moments, she let it be.
Because she also knew that even though Aurora’s body was definitely top-tier and mature, her mind was like that of a teenage girl. So she just wanted her master’s attention.
And after hearing that Aurora single-handedly defended their territory.
All the remaining little bit of jealousy she felt toward Aurora also got removed.
But then she heard Vaelira’s voice from the side. "She is again clinging to Master."
At this, Aurielle turned toward them and also saw that somehow, while Luke was patting her head, she got close and was now again pressing her breasts against him while sticking to him like a koala.
’This...’ Aurielle shook her head, then moved toward Aurora and separated her from the happy Luke. ’Yeah, he is surely happy by being pressed by those big melons.’
Aurielle’s brow twitched, and she gave Luke a shameless glare, upon which he flinched and removed his smile.
Then she brought Aurora toward their earlier location.
"Cough! Cough!" Luke coughed to hide his embarrassment and became serious.
"Seems like they want to cut off our supply or external help, while waiting for further reinforcements from their territory." Luke said to everyone, upon which Osric and Aurielle nodded.
As they also felt this was likely the case.
But on this, Luke laughed slightly. "Sadly for them, the more time we got, the stronger we become."
Hearing their lord’s words, everyone got confused. So Luke told them that, with the help of the Time Chamber, all of them could train fast in a few days.
But this created another problem, which was what they would train?, because breaking through a realm took time.
Luke also offered the solution for this.
"I have done some shopping in the Count’s territory, and with that, everyone can become stronger."
When Luke finished this, everyone’s expressions brightened, and they became excited about the things their lord had purchased.
Luke didn’t let them wait for too long and instantly opened his treasury, then brought out all the summoning scrolls.
Because all the present people were his trustworthy army and had already been bound with Aurora Chains, so he could completely do this small summoning thing.
’This!’
Everyone became surprised after seeing so many magic scrolls. But the Blackstone Legion didn’t get surprised by seeing summoning scrolls.
Though it was not the same for Osric, Edmund, and some others. Even Aurielle got surprised by the sheer amount, which made her confused, because she didn’t believe that Luke could bought so large quantity of these summoning magic scrolls, atleast in Count territory.
’From where did these come?? Again, Goddess of Luck?’ So she thought this, on which she again gave Luke a look, but no one knew the meaning behind that.
"COME FORTH!" While they were thinking all kinds of things, Luke shouted and ordered the System to use all the scrolls.
[Now, even this little work. I have to do that. 😒] The System, with a grumbling voice, followed the command.
Luke’s face twitched at the System’s grumbling, but soon returned to normal while replying in his mind. ’You are my System, and you should at least do that much.’
The System ignored Luke’s bickering. Instead, the next moment,
- Peak Wild Beast Realm Warhorses (Iron Knight equivalent) x 1,000 (Male)
- Peak Iron Knight Archers x 1,000 (Male)
- Peak Marinthian Coral Guards x 100 (Male)
Magic scrolls from the System Space disappeared one by one, and thousands of magic circles appeared all over the area. Forests, mountains, and even the river bank got fully covered by them.
"WHAT!!!" Even though everyone had already guessed what was going to happen, still seeing so many magic circles appearing at the same time made them very excited, and some even exclaimed loudly at this.
WHOSSSSH!
With a gust of wind, one thousand fully armoured male knights, along with weapons, and the same for the warhorses as well, which were heavily armoured, appeared on the field.
So even if some arrows or weapons collided with them, they could easily block them.
But when one hundred Marinthian Coral Guards of the Tide Keeper Realm appeared on the river bank, the whole surrounding suddenly became wet, and water molecules from the river started floating toward the surrounding vicinity.
At first, many people got confused by the sudden wetness, but when they focused on the unit near the river bank and felt their aura, which was clearly similar to Silver Rank, So after focusing they confirmed it was really Silver Rank equivalent and exclaimed, "Silver Rank??? 100!!!"
They became completely shocked. Because you couldn’t even see a single Silver Knight in many Baron Territories, but now their lord had summoned hundreds of them!! ’Crazy!’
If someone saw this scene, then they would definitely say, ’This is Viscount-level upper force.’
"MASTER!!!"
"NEEEIGHHH!!!"
Then everyone present heard their loud voices as they knelt toward Luke, while the warhorses neighed and they also got down on their legs toward Luke.
’Awesome!’ This thought came into everyone’s minds because their lord had just gained the loyalty of thousands of beasts and hundreds of Silver Rank experts.
Which was absurd. Because from what they had heard, even if someone used magic scrolls for summoning, then they had to subdue the summons first to gain their recognition.
While everyone praised Luke heavily in their minds, Luke was just smiling toward everyone.
Because the System products came with absolute loyalty, so he didn’t have to face the situation that normal summoners faced.
"RISE!" Luke’s order echoed through the surroundings, and every new summon immediately stood up.
After that, he observed them.
First, he checked the Wild Beast Realm Warhorses. They had broad shoulders with a height reaching 7 feet, and their heads were almost at 9 feet.
Their eyes were amber in color, while their manes were black. Also, their hooves were covered with mana-infused materials, which were capable of even cracking stone just by stepping.
Their whole bodies were covered with fully armoured reinforced plate barding, and military saddles were present on their backs.
"These things are definitely built for devastating cavalry charges." Luke muttered with satisfaction.
Osric and Aurielle also shared the same thoughts.
