"We will be attacking the soldiers in Nux's stead," Amaya spoke and the other women nodded. "No way." Nux was the first to deny the proposal. "Why?" Amaya narrowed her eyes. "It's too dangerous. I don't want to put you all in danger." Nux shook his head continuously. Amaya and the others walked toward Nux and formed a circle around him, "Do you think we will lose?" Amaya questioned. -n0ve1、com Nux, however, closed his eyes and shook his head again, "Attacking more than Ten thousand soldiers is a no no. It's too risky. If you want to go, then take around ten thousand soldiers with you. Then I would have no problem." His women narrowed their eyes. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 They knew it would be a little difficult to convince Nux, however, he would flat-out deny it, they didn't expect that. The woman then turned towards Astaria, the most powerful person here, Astaria however, shook her head. "Sorry girls, I would have taken your side if it was anything else, however, in this, I would have to take his side. A few individuals fighting against an entire army is a ridiculous concept, I know all of you are capable, but fighting wars is not a simple process. Ember, you were a general before, you should know how dangerous it is." "I know how dangerous it is, that is the reason I want to go. I have led countless troops before, I know how things were, and dare I say, I know it more than any one of you present here. And from all my past experience, I can confidently say that we all can take care of it. In fact, I would even go as far as saying that this is the battle I am most confident about." Ember replied with a confident look on her face. Astaria glanced at Ember for a while, she then turned towards Nux and replied, "I am still on Nux's side here." "You allowed Nux when he said he wanted to go. Why aren't you allowing us?" Thyra pointed. Astaria glanced at Thyra and narrowed her eyes, "Are you seriously asking that? This monster defeated the Shadow Unit alone. He is different, you, of all people, should know it first hand." "Then how about this, Let us fight the Shadow Unit, if we can defeat them, then allow us to go and since we have a number's advantage, you can add Consort Iria and General Phorus into the group as well." Amaya proposed. Hearing that, a smile appeared on Astaria's face, and just as she was about to accept Amaya's deal, Nux interrupted. "Don't. Don't allow it." "Huh?" Astaria frowned. "Tsk." Amaya snorted. She was this close. "You think they can defeat the Shadow Unit?" Astaria questioned. Nux glanced at his women. Defeat the Shadow Unit? They can destroy them. "…" He didn't know how to reply. Seeing his expression, Astaria narrowed her eyes in doubt and confusion, "You aren't thinking they could defeat Shadow Unit, right?" "…" "They can huh…" Astaria understood. She didn't know whether she should smile or cry. She was thankful that none of the members of the Shadow Unit were here. "Nux, let us go. You know we are capable." Ember glanced at Nux and spoke with a serious look on her face. "The moment any of us gets injured, we would turn around and run away, I promise. Also, it's not like you can't come there to help us, right? We will call you the moment something goes wrong." "…" Nux turned silent. "Every one of us will allow you to do anything you want with us if you let us go." Nux opened his eyes and glanced at his women, "Anything?" "Anything." "And you will call me the moment you feel something is wrong?" pand(a-n0vel.c)om "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Tsk, just say yes already. Don't annoy me." Felberta snorted. Nux looked at his women helplessly and, "Whatever, just go." His women smiled, "I knew you the best!" Skyla didn't miss the chance and jumped at Nux. "Uggh! Take it easy, I am hurt~" Nux groaned in pain. "O-Oh, I apologize." Skyla panicked. She then quickly took out a healing potion and drank it. Then, she kissed Nux. What? Nux could have drunk it himself? Huh? Of course he cannot. He was injured. Mouth-to-mouth was required. Astaria, on the other hand, didn't know how to react. Just what kind of monstrous group has she met? They can defeat 2 Shadow Units on their own. She wondered if even she was capable of doing that. But after thinking about it, she realized. She can. Very easily at that. Shadow Unit was nothing in her eyes… … Just like that, time passed. All this while, Nux only did 3 things, Train with Astaria, cultivate alone, and spend time with his wives. He also met Teacher Arvina a lot of times, however, he just greeted her normally and then ended the conversation. 'Master Nux.' 4 days later, Nux was contacted by a certain General. 'Armando, it's been a while.' Nux, who was sitting beside Astaria smiled. 'Master Nux, I just received the news, all the 7 Generals would now be on stand back, ready to battle any time.' 'Hmm? Why is that? Only 4 of you were attacking perfectly normally, weren't you?' Nux questioned. 'Lord Herms received the news, the Skyfall Kingdom will be helping the Woods Dynasty in this War.' Armando reported. Hearing those words, a small smile appeared on Nux's face. 'Alright, be sure to inform me if more King Stage Cultivators come.' 'As you command, Master Nux.' Nux terminated the connection and smiled, Seeing him smile like that, Astaria spoke, "Why not spar again if you have the time to smile like you are crazy?" "Please let me live…" Nux requested. Astaria laughed, "Don't worry, I am joking. So? What happened? Why are you smiling?" "Our suspicion was correct, Herms and Amletus were indeed working together," Nux replied. "Huh? How do you know?" "Well… Amaya set a trap and they fell for it." "Huh? What do you mean?" "Amaya's mother, Riona Skadi reported to Amletus that the Skyfall Kingdom will be aiding the Woods Dynasty in this War against the Solid Earth Kingdom." Astaria narrowed her eyes. "Amaya wanted to test the connection between Herms and Amletus, there was no other way the news could have been leaked, the only ones who knew about this were you, me, my wives, the Ellinger, Alcimus, Riona, and… Amletus. Riona can be trusted completely, Ellinger and Alcimus would obviously not leak this news, the only one left would be Amletus. The timing coincides as well." "So you all deliberately delivered the news to Amletus, an Emperor Stage Cultivator, and pushed him into a trap?" "Well, if he was innocent, he wouldn't have fallen for it." Nux shrugged. "…" Astaria didn't know what to say. Nux understood what she was thinking and sympathized with her. "The mother-daughter pair can be dangerous, especially now that their relationship has improved."
