Chapter 149: What A Stupid Plan!
Andromeda was right. Among all the maids in the castle, Andromeda was the only one that has not been with the demon lord more than five times before. The demon lord has called on all of us many times but he hasn't interacted with Andromeda that many times. Pyra wondered what could be the cause of this problem. Was it because Andromeda was a lamia? No. The demon lord never cared about things like that. Then what is it?
Pyra thought about it for a while and Andromeda just stayed silent and allowed Pyra to think.
Pyra gained a cute pout on her face as she thought deeply. After some time, Pyra finally concluded and she nodded as she gave Andromeda a serious look.
"How good are you at sex?"
Andromeda blushed crimson and she looked away in exasperation! She thought that Pyra was going to ask a good question or give her some great advice, but what kind of question is that!? Pyra knows that all the maids in the castle are good at sex since they all trained with Rosavellt to please the demon lord! When Andromeda said this to Pyra, Pyra's eyes widened as if she just remembered that they did that and she scratched her head sheepishly before she spoke again. They had their training a very long time ago and Pyra just forgot about it. How can Andromeda even remember it at all!? That was almost five hundred years ago!
"I suppose you're right, but it isn't enough. Our demon lord is a confident man and a confident man will also love a confident woman. I don't want to insult you, but your way of speaking and walking doesn't inspire confidence,"
Andromeda felt a bullet pierce into her with Pyra's words! What Pyra just said caused some critical damage because Andromeda could tell that Pyra was right! Was that really the reason why? The demon lord doesn't see me as a confident person!? Andromeda started to worry about what she should do. Pyra noticed the distress on Andromeda's face and Pura decided that it would be best to talk about this later. Andromeda needs to be at her best for this mission and it wouldn't be good if Andromeda was worried about her confidence while fighting.
"You can just get rid of your stuttering and I'm sure you'll see some improvement. Prove that you're willing to grow and change and that might be enough to impress the demon lord,"
Pyra finally said this and Andromeda looked at her in mild surprise. So Pyra was trying to tell me that I should stop stuttering! Andromeda sighed! When did I even start stuttering? Was it when my family was killed? Andromeda tried to remember when she started to stutter and she couldn't pinpoint the exact date at all. She only knows that she has been stuttering for as long as she could remember! She made a decision right there that she would try her best to stop stuttering! It doesn't matter how much work it took, she will stop it!
Pyra saw the fire burning in Andromeda and she pat Andromeda on the back. That's good. At least Andromeda wouldn't be worrying about pointless things while they are in the middle of their mission.
"But in the meantime, since you cannot stop your stuttering immediately. How good are your techniques in bed?"
Once the two of them heard the options they both immediately knew which town the humans attacked! It would be much more sensible to attack the mining town! Any demon that knew the value of the mana stones would rather attack the mining town and ruin the business that the demons had there! But these weren't demons! These were humans! Foolish humans that allowed themselves to be blinded by sympathy and kindness. If it is a human, then the only place they will go to is the farming town. Those fools would rather give up on the mining town and save the slaves!
That means that the hero wasn't attacking this town to eradicate the demons! She was using this as a distraction! She was trying to make sure these demons couldn't stop them from saving the humans and she was just trying to ensure their mission was successful!
Pyra and Andromeda both came to this same conclusion at the same time and they immediately started making their way out of the town again. The town head bowed as she saw them leaving and she wished them luck with their hunt!
Novel will be updated first .
Pyra didn't have a link to the town they were going to so she couldn't open a portal directly to that town. But Andromeda had a link to the town because she was the one in charge of running all the farming operations in the kingdom. Every farming town in the kingdom had a direct link to Andromeda and it was easy for her to open a portal to any of them. This makes it easier for Andromeda to oversee all their operations without much stress.
So Andromeda opened a direct portal to the farming town and they walked through.
.....
Quinn sighed for the third time as she rode her horse through the forest. Beside her, Dray rolled his eyes as he heard her sigh. Dray could tell that Quinn was not happy even though this mission was going very well for the humans. Quinn recently made a plan that impressed Dray. She offered to attack a demon town that was sitting directly on a Mana stone mine so that they can take the mine for themselves and destroy the demon's business. It wouldn't be easy because there were three other demon towns around that mining town and the mining town would be able to call for reinforcements from those towns. But Quinn proposed to send small platoons of soldiers to the surrounding towns to distract them and prevent them from coming to help the mining town.
It was a plan that left some of the generals in shock because Quinn was planning on sacrificing soldiers like they were cattle. Everyone knew that all the soldiers that would serve as the distraction will not be coming back alive and Quinn was still trying to send them there! It was a good plan and Dray also supported it because he didn't see anything wrong with killing a few people to secure the mining town.
But just before they could finalize the plan, there was a suggestion from one of the old generals. He told them to change their target from the mining town to the farming town east of it. This farming town had a lot of slaves in it and these slaves were humans that were captured during the demon invasion. It would be great if they can save these slaves and bring them back to the kingdom and show people that they were doing a good job! It would boost morale and make the citizens trust them more!
Both Dray and Quinn sighed!
What a stupid plan!
