Chapter 284 A Passionate Morning
"Report to the generals! Our spies have detected movements from humanity's troops in the eastern region!"
Heidel, Lilith, Terran, and Garan exchanged shocked looks upon hearing the news.
"Have they finally chosen to take action?" Garan inquired, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Terran gave a small nod, his expression serious. "Yes, it appears they've devised a plan and are bold enough to move. As we predicted, their withdrawal was merely a tactic to buy time and form a new strategy."
Pausing for a moment, he turned to Heidel and respectfully asked, "Archdemon Heidel, what should we do? Should we act now or continue observing?"
While he, Lilith, and Garan seemed to be the leaders of the war, the true authority rested with Heidel, the Archdemon.
Consequently, every decision they made had to be reviewed by him before it could be executed.
Upon hearing the question, Heidel took a deep breath, his calm demeanor gradually shifting to seriousness.
"Since they've already made their move, we don't need to hold back anymore," he replied casually, then added, "However, we must remain cautious. They may have an unforeseen strategy ready, and we must be prepared for it. Do you understand?"
"We understand!" Lilith, Garan, and Terran responded in unison.
Nodding in satisfaction, Heidel folded his hands behind his back and straightened up, his calm smile growing as he glanced at each of them.
"Then, let's not waste any more time. Prepare yourselves."
...
"Are all the preparations in order, Natasya?"
At the encampment of humanity's troops, Jim, dressed in a pure white kimono robe, looked up at the skyline and asked in a casual tone.
Behind him, Natasya, clad in golden armor with her blonde hair tied in a ponytail that accentuated her heroic presence, nodded slightly, her expression indifferent yet serious.
"Everything has gone according to your instructions, Jim," Natasya replied firmly. "Spear Hero Valen and Marquis Guren are currently leading hundreds of thousands of cavalry and infantry troops to the battlefield. Meanwhile, Bow Hero Luna is coordinating with 95,000 archers and will proceed to the battlefield as scheduled.
As for Rain, she has relocated the mage forces southward and is simply awaiting your command to advance."
Listening to Natasya's detailed explanation, Jim felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him, a faint smile blossoming on his lips.
"Good! Everything is progressing smoothly, and I'm confident we'll be able to overcome the demon army today. Victory will undoubtedly belong to us, humanity," Jim declared, his tone playful yet filled with confidence.
As a war strategist for the Imperial Palace, he had never faced defeat against the demon race, instilling him with confidence in his strategies.
As long as no unforeseen variables arose, he was certain the outcome of this war would mirror that of previous wars between humanity and the demon race.
No, even if unforeseen variables arose, he had already accounted for them and devised contingency plans, so he felt no significant worry.
Natasya neither scoffed nor refuted Jim's seemingly arrogant words. As one of the three twilights of the Holy Empire of Elysium, she was the person who interacted with Jim most often, apart from Rain.
Thus, she knew his character well and recognized his undeniably impressive abilities.
Taking a deep breath, Jim turned slightly and regarded Natasya with a calm gaze.
"Now that everything is in place, it's time for us to give those demons a solid thrashing," Jim said, a cold smile curling on his lips.
Nodding, Natasya met Jim's gaze with an indifferent expression and replied firmly, "Yes!"
...
Inside the room, bright sunlight gradually filtered through the window, illuminating Leon's face as he slept soundly, causing him to moan slightly.
"Hmm~" His heavy eyelids slowly lifted, revealing the ceiling above him.
"Is it morning already?" Leon murmured to himself as he rubbed his eyes.
He turned his head toward the window and noticed it was already quite bright outside, prompting him to decide to get up.
However, just as he began to move his right hand, his palm unexpectedly brushed against something soft and substantial, prompting him to subconsciously squeeze it.
"Ahn~" A lovely moan suddenly escaped from a woman beside him, jolting Leon out of his lingering sleepiness.
With surprise etched on his face, he turned to his right and realized that the soft, substantial object he was touching was Liliana's huge breast!
"Ahem! How rude of me," Leon said, pretending to cough as he squeezed once more before finally withdrawing his hand from Liliana's breast.
Suddenly, a firm grip restrained his hand, and a voice that was sweet yet cold rang in his ears.
"I didn't expect you to sneak up on me like this, Leon. Aren't you satisfied after last night's intense encounter?" It was Liliana's voice, and it startled Leon.
He turned his head toward Liliana and found her awake, playfully looking at him, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.
"Ahem! I didn't mean to attack you secretly; it was purely an accident," Leon said calmly, wearing an innocent expression as if he were completely blameless.
Liliana simply smiled at his innocent demeanor and leaned closer to him.
"You don't need to worry or fear that I'm angry; on the contrary, I'm quite happy, you know?" She whispered softly in Leon's ear.
Her warm breath grazed his ear, and the gentle pressure of her left breast against his palm sent a rush of youthful heat coursing through Leon.
His holy sword, once dormant, suddenly stirred to life, rising and standing proudly at attention.
Seeing this, Liliana's smile widened, and she licked her upper lip, saying, "Since you've been honest, I'll give you a reward."
With that, she kissed Leon passionately, pressing her lips down on his.
Caught off guard by Liliana's boldness, Leon, enveloped in her tenderness, didn't resist and allowed her to take control.
After that, they both began their morning activities with enthusiasm.
Two hours later...
"Hah~ Hah~" Both of their bodies glistened with sweat as they embraced, panting slightly.
Neither of them spoke, as if they were submerged in the love they shared.
After a few minutes, their breathing began to calm, and Liliana lifted her head, smiling at Leon.
"How do you feel? Are you comfortable?" Liliana asked softly, burying her face in Leon's neck and inhaling his scent with a dreamy expression.
Chuckling softly, Leon nodded and caressed her silky, fragrant white hair as he replied, "Yes, I feel very comfortable and refreshed. Thank you for all the love you've given me, Liliana."
As a man, it was only natural for him to experience a surge of desire each morning due to hormonal changes.
After releasing this pent-up desire, he felt a deep sense of comfort and rejuvenation coursing through his body.
His reaction brought a joyful smile to Liliana's face as she replied softly, "Good!"
They continued to embrace, savoring their precious moment, knowing that such opportunities might be rare in the future.
After a while, they loosened their hold and gazed at each other affectionately.
Leon softly stroked Liliana's face, and a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind—an unanswered question from last night.
"By the way, Liliana, I have a question I'd like to ask," Leon said abruptly.
Liliana blinked in curiosity, a hint of a smile forming on her lips as a guess took shape in her mind.
"I think I know what you're about to ask."
