Chapter 649 Short

Chapter 649 Short　　A couple of days quickly went by.

And then it was time to go into battle once again.

The army of thousands, which this time led by Klauz, was now lined up in front of the great abyss that was currently surrounded by tall ice crystals.

The ice dragons were scattered all about in the formation that Vera and Evie had determined to be best for this attack. Each ice dragon now has a rider who were dark faes. All were ridden by Klauz’s elite soldiers for the exception of Sweetie, who had Azrael as her rider. The soldiers had somehow managed to pacify the dragons because of Klauz’s secret knowledge about the magic of communicating with the dragons. However, the dragons still required their real master’s approval before allowing other riders to mount them. Those warriors were only able to ride them during the war.

Vera was positioned right at the front with her own dragon, Azure, while Azrael and Sweetie were right behind her. He had made sure that his positioning was not too close that he would be a nuisance if she needed to maneuver. But neither was he too far that he could not zip over immediately to her rescue if something untoward does happen.

On Evie’s side, the vampires were also right alongside her with the exception of Leon. She had ordered Leon to aid Zanya and watch over Zanya’s back while her attention was focused on controlling Silver. One other reason was also because just last night, Evie had found out that Zanya was pregnant.

Leon did not know of the pregnancy nor the child as of yet. Zanya had only told Evie that she had been planning to tell Leon about it once the war was over.

Evie did not insist on asking Zanya to consider letting Leon know earlier and just made some slight adjustments to the placing of her people and had the couple just move together in this war. Zanya had a big role to play this war as she was the one controlling the second largest and most powerful fire dragon. She could not afford to have another dragon getting injured. Therefore, Leon being there to aid Zanya was also a good call on that front on top of the hidden agenda of him protecting his lover and their child.

”Look at our Leon right there, looking all smug just because he’s going to a war with his beloved.” Levy tsked and shook his head, mocking Leon from his position, his voice sounding playfully sour. “Just let me aim at him! I’ll stone him to the ground.”

”Stop being such a petty brat and green eyed monster, Levy.” Luc commented. “Didn’t you spent all your time fooling around with dark fae beauties the whole time when we were in the palace?”

Levy sighed exaggeratedly. “Fooling around is totally different, Luc. Just look at him! Look!! And don’t dare you tell me that you’re not even one whit jealous. Fighting alongside your beloved… damn, is there anything more romantic than that?” he then pursed his lips and pouted childishly. Luc only rolled his eyes at the drama queen getting his kicks in throwing his daily tantrums.

”Going to a war with your lover is romantic, you say?” Luc’s face looked as though he had just heard the craziest thing. “Something’s seriously wrong with your brain, you dumbass.”

”You’re the dumbest one! You don’t even have a single romantic fiber in your bones, you poor little Luc. Ah… I sometimes feel so sorry for you, you know? Don’t you know that romance is the bestest thing in life?” Levy sighed out dramatically as he wiped the back of his hand over his forehead, brushing off imaginary sweat.

”Where did you even hear such lame nonsense, you fool?!” Luc was flabbergasted.

Levy pointed at himself as he grinned smugly. Wordlessly claiming that he was the guru that would occasionally enlighten the people around him with his words of wisdom in love.

Luc could only shake his head and stepped away from Levy. “I’m out of here! I can’t tolerate your craziness anymore.”

”Hey! Luc, my love. Don’t ditch me like that.” Levy called out fondly as he rushed over to grab Luc.

Luc was shocked at Levy’s loud voice and shameless behaviour. He looked around and the light fae ladies and even the men started murmuring as their pointed looks were directed at the two of them.

Pissed, Luc turned back and approached Levy before elbowing him nicely in the abdomen.

”You, dumbass! Now that Leon isn’t here, you’re messing at me next? Now stay away lest your disease get spread on to me!” as he said that, he made shooing gestures to Levy, pretending to chase him off.

Levy grinned. “Haha. Ditto. Ugh!”

”Luc!” Samuel’s commanding voice rang. “Come over.”

Luc immediately release Levy and stopped fooling around before walking over to Samuel, leaving Levy fixing his collar that had been gripped by his friend.

He was chuckling as he ran his fingers through his hair, thus accidentally bumping over someone as he was stepping back.

His brows immediately creased because he literally did not sense anyone behind him when he was stepping backwards.

When he turned around, he saw a dark fae soldier standing there. Wow! He was fascinated that this dark fae did not seem to have any presence at all! Even when he was literally looking right at her! How interesting.

Like all of Klauz’s soldiers, this one too was wearing a black mask. A mask that had covered her entire face and only left two holes over their eyes to see out of.

”Apologies. You’re… you’re so short I didn’t notice you at all.” He teased. It was true that this soldier was pretty short compared to everyone else present here. This soldier was even a bit shorter than Vera.

Swift as a cat, the soldier’s hand was already gripping Levy’s neck.

Another surprise. Wow! This shorty has got insane moves!!!

”Insult my height again and I’ll take your head –”

The soldier broke off when Levy put his hands on the soldier’s chest.

”Hey…” Levy started but broke off the next second.

Both of them froze until Levy’s hands moved. He thought he had felt something soft, and he was trying to reconfirm that texture when…

A hard punch came flying and landed right in his face.
