Chapter 139: Chapter 26: Under Attack!

Lancelot spent a short time in the bath with the women—watching them as they competed for his attention was quite amusing for him, who just enjoyed the back massage of Marimo, who was more mature and womanly now.

Even her breasts seemed softer and more inviting. It felt like she was competing directly with Morgana, who became more mellow, leaning against him and gently hugging him close.

"How is the current situation of the town?" Lancelot asked his Royal guard, who were kneeling politely in the throne room the moment he returned. Even Meru was wearing a neat uniform at the lead, looking at him with a strange look.

It seemed he was busy preparing for something as Lancelot crossed his legs leisurely, wondering what the cute hare wanted to show him.

"Meru reports there is nothing special, but everyone is doing well, Sir Lancelot... We also increased production speed and completed the first stage of the town's infrastructure," Meru announced diligently with a strict pose—even Lancelot struggled not to laugh at the cute hare dressed up like a knight, acting as his secretary or clerk.

The difference between the girl who was complaining and tsundere was great as he noticed her body became more curvy and realised she really was maturing just like Ikumi did.

"I see—make sure they prioritise the defences outside the town, especially the east, as there are many enemies that would love to strike while we are unprepared or get full of ourselves."

Meru nodded seriously, writing everything down diligently—Lancelot rested comfortably as Morgana giggled softly beside him, playing with her fingers within Lancelot's grip tenderly.

"Don't worry about the east; we've been strengthening the eastern walls already, and most of the troops are spread along the forest, working with Guinevere's Tiamat to keep the area guarded all day and night."

Lumiel and Aya knelt beside Meru and gave a nod to this, causing Lancelot to relax, but he still checked the system interface and upgraded most walls to those with defensive structures, spending most of their wood, stone and gold.

"Lord, may we talk to you about something? I think you should know about it." Lumiel asked as Lancelot tilted his head, confused as to what might be wrong—Lumiel was always mature and pristine as an angel—thus, she was direct unless wishing for something special.

"Sure, what is wrong? Please speak openly." Lancelot invited casually, leaning back as Marimo finished massaging his aching body—her soft touch made him feel better as Ikumi played with Meru's ears curiously.

"We angels and the royal guards... We want to fight..." Lumiel declared seriously as Lancelot understood what they meant—Aya and Meru nodded in agreement with Lumiel while Morgana shrugged, leaving the decision up to Lancelot since she didn't mind their involvement as long as they stayed safe.

"Okay, let's go find someone to fight."

Lancelot was still excited from his duel with Nuriel, and thus, while she was silent behind him to the left, the opposite side of Morgana, he turned to her with a smirk, "Will you come too, Nuriel?"

The seraph smiled gently—instantly summoning her weapon eagerly, causing Lumiel and the others to feel pressured as Lancelot rose from the throne, stretching lightly as Ikumi joined him.

"Okay, just in time... It seems some idiots are going to attack our eastern defences because they mistake it as Guinevere's territory."

"Morgana, you stay here and rest, Marimo. Please look after her." Lancelot ordered as Marimo bowed silently while Morgana pouted cutely—it was strange how she went from seductive and lewd to cute and mellow with a bit of cheekiness added. It must be motherhood that made her change drastically. Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Teleporting straight towards Guinevere and Tiamat, Lancelot frowned immediately as the sounds of clanging steel and the roars of monsters filled the forest—from above the clouds.

Looking around, he noticed the flames roaring intensely from below—it seemed Tiamat was using powerful spells to burn anything in her way as Lancelot descended elegantly.

With Ikumi, Meru and the others following closely, the angels summoned their weapons alongside Aya, who drew her twin blades fluidly with Nuriel, creating her silver spear—Ikumi didn't use her spear today and just wore thick gauntlets.

"Guin! Why didn't you message me sooner?"

"Ah... Lancelot...." The silver-haired vampire empress was currently fighting several strange monsters with four arms and sharp claws as they attacked her portion of the forest. Unlike Guinevere, Tiamat was using powerful fire magic and burning the enemies.

"Please handle the north; they are coming for my people—" Guinevere shouted as Lancelot waved his hands calmly, feeling bored as the angels took flight gracefully, charging the horde of strange creatures heading for the elven archers!

"Meru, Aya—keep the area protected—Lumiel, Nuriel—kill those bastards instantly, Ikumi..." Lancelot commanded seriously—the Royal Guard members nodded in understanding, using their swiftest and strongest abilities to kill the four-armed monsters—the angels created holy barriers and engaged the enemies in the sky while Ikumi charged straight into the crowd!

With her gauntlets, she struck hard and fast, punching them directly in the groins before slamming her fists into their faces, shattering their bones and jaws! Within moments, Ikumi killed over twenty enemies, surprising Lancelot immensely!

"Wow, Ikumi—you got so much stronger than before...." Lancelot complimented as he fluttered his wings and landed in the middle of the battle just outside the forest; looking around, he felt this was not a random attack, as the monsters were clearly trying to stretch Guin thin.

"Die!!"

A group of four armed monsters attacked Lancelot with their sharp claws, aiming for his chest—gazing at them, Lancelot formed dozens of imaginary daggers and tossed them forth carelessly as they pierced the bodies instantly.

While the monsters screamed painfully, Ikumi slammed her fist into them, finishing them instantly with ease as Lancelot sighed softly, "This is boring... Ikumi, you stay with Meru—Lumiel and Nuriel; focus on protecting the elves—Aya, please protect Guinevere—these guys aren't worth my attention."

Ikumi obediently stayed behind Lancelot, guarding him with Meru, who wielded dual blades elegantly, killing any strays heading for Guinevere—Lumiel and Nuriel flew high, using their powerful holy spells, creating an immense barrier to stop several aerial monsters from entering Guinevere's forest while Aya sliced apart the enemies nearby.

It seemed Lancelot overpowered them easily as he yawned lightly, conjuring several invisible blades and piercing the heads of the strange beasts effortlessly, killing them instantly—after realising they were losing, most monsters retreated as Lancelot cleaned his robes, shaking off the green blood dripping down the cloth.

"Meru, Ikumi, collect the corpses..."

He felt a little bored, but maybe Tyr would have something more fun for him to do.

"Did they send such weak monsters because they underestimated Guin? Maybe I should mess with these idiots..." Lancelot muttered quietly—Meru collected the corpses professionally while Ikumi nodded softly—they both disliked the idea of fighting weaklings!

***

After collecting the corpses, Lancelot returned to Guinevere—the vampires cheered loudly as Tiamat exhaled deeply, resting with the elves peacefully while Guinevere welcomed him politely with a serious expression.

"Thanks, darling~ come here."

Guinevere's atmosphere changed instantly as she hugged Lancelot's body tightly, kissing his cheek and nuzzling him. After the bath, she moved to her village and found it was under attack—then, in a panic, she started fighting instead of telling Lancelot.

"Guinevere... You need to inform me when this stuff happens." Lancelot advised—she smiled bitterly but was not remorseful for trying to fight on her own.

He sighed gently, knowing that Guinevere was confident in her skills, yet her followers were limited in number—without the troops lent by her beloved, there would be nobody guarding the north right now.

"Don't worry, I was just worried about you..." He smiled, kissing Guinevere softly on the forehead as Ikumi stuck close to Lancelot, pouting angrily, "Master~ I am here, too!"

Meru shook her head helplessly as Aya kept watch overhead—the angels controlled the skies flawlessly and destroyed any intruders trying to escape while Lumiel helped Meru stack the corpses—while Lancelot flirted, Ikumi glanced at Guinevere hatefully, wishing for the vampire empress to leave and stop sticking so close to her Master!

"Are you okay, darling?" Guinevere asked as Lancelot smirked lightly—nodding his head gently as he checked over Guinevere and looked to the dragon that kept giving him strange glances before turning away from him.

Why is she always so strange to me now? Did the blood thing really piss her off that much... Lancelot wondered as Guinevere and Ikumi stuck incredibly close to him—Tiamat snorted coldly before leaving silently, transforming into her human form, ignoring Lancelot entirely.

"Darling, thanks for helping my people~ shall we go celebrate our victory?" Guinevere smiled brightly—Ikumi rolled her eyes secretly, crossing her arms over her plentiful bosom, refusing to leave Lancelot as Lumiel and Nuriel landed with their faces beaming.

"My lord, it seems the enemy is preparing to attack again, but the number will be much greater," Lumiel reported as Lancelot nodded—Guinevere frowned as he began deploying orders to his large army currently waiting to help.
