Early summer. The preparations for the war against the kingdom of Durcia have been completed. We have got their path of travel. So, I decided today is our departure.
I kissed Ayre, Xenora, and Phisovia's lips in turn.
"Take care of this place while I'm not around," I said to them with a smile.
Ayre returned a smile. "We will do this task as best we can."
"I want to stay by your side, my lord." Phisovia looked at me with teary eyes. "However, I realized that this task is essential to us."
Xenora just caressed my face gently.
I widened my smile, nodded to Luke and the judges, then walked over to my other subordinates.
"I can't wait to use this, my lord!" Emily sat on the shoulders of a 200 foot tall humanoid figure. That thing was made from thousands of lizardmen bones fused together and wrapped in armor. "It's amazing they can make something like this in such a short amount of time!"
I replied to her. "I'm also looking forward to what this thing can do."
"Shall we depart now, my lord?" Velvet asked.
"It seems that everything is ready, Your Highness," Lexi added.
I walked over to Nate, who was doing one last check on my flying bike. He just gave a thumbs-up and nodded.
I then climbed onto a large rock, facing my troops which consisted of various races. Even humans were included. They, primarily former Durcia soldiers who joined my empire, had voluntarily joined after hearing that we were going to war.
They are my loyal worshippers.
"To all of you! This is a historic day for us! We will create greater glory! Spread our ideals even more!" I started my fiery speech. "They should know how great we are and that our path is right! No more inequality in society! No more injustice by the government!"
I paused in my speech, looking at my cheering subordinates.
"From this second, we will make history! And remember my comrades! This is the beginning of everything! The beginning of a better world! So let's go!!!"
Their cheers grew louder. I got off the boulder, got on the flying bike, then made it fly. Velvet followed behind me with her wyvern, accompanied by the succubi and other wyverns riders.
Rumble could also be heard from the footsteps of the armored figure controlled by Emily.
This is the first anniversary of my coming to this world. So, I feel this moment is so special.
Who would have thought that a young man like me could lead an army of this size?
I will crush that army from Durcia and make Fergus pay for all our humiliation.
Just as my troops had cleared a few yards, I received a call from an intruding shapeshifter on duty at the palace.
"Is there any new information?" I asked her.
She answered quickly. "I have received word that Fergus will use the fetus in Kayla's body for his new body."
I frowned, quite surprised by the news. "Did he grow that fetus in the palace?"
"Initially, my lord." She continued. "But now Kayla has been moved somewhere, and sorry, I don't know where."
"Tell me again if you know where Kayla was taken." I shrugged.
"Sure, my lord. I will report to you immediately if I get any news."
Yes, this is shocking news, but I don't want to get too deep into it. The potential of a body with the fairy gene is extraordinary. But now I have to focus on this war.
I'll think about that later when the time is right.

Meanwhile, in the royal capital of Durcia, Fergus watched over thousands of soldiers with muscular builds who had already started marching with red banners emblazoned with golden dragon heads.
"Don't you forget to save my son after this war." Standing on one of the palace balconies with Fergus, the king hissed. He seemed to be holding back anger. "You should know how important a crown prince is for this country, right? I'm already old. If I die and there's no crown prince, people will fight for power…."
"Alright, alright, king." Fergus interrupted King Julius, feeling annoyed. Then the dark magus jumped onto his bat monster and chuckled. "Bye, king. Pray for me to be able to win against Vorn."
King Julius didn't answer, and Fergus started flying, trailing the giant tree monster walking with a heavy thud with every step.
Yes, the dark magus hated Vorn in every inch of his veins. However, more than that, he was actually excited about this.
He will defeat the dark emperor and will take the title from Vorn.
It was a big mistake for him to want to become the demon lord's partner in the past. He should be able to do this on his own, becoming the greatest ruler in this world.
"Just watch, Vorn." He whispered to himself. "I will beat you. This is what you will get for failing me and humiliating me."
The dark magus lowered his monster, surveying his super soldiers. Unlike before, they didn't seem to mind being here. They actually look hungry to fight. Their faces are adorned with creepy smiles that would set off any normal person's chills.
He held all the cards. Fergus was sure he would win.

[Vorn's POV]
I could use the fast-forward feature to get to the battlefield location. However, this time I want to savor all the moments that happened. So, I continue to follow my troops in real-time.
I sat on the shoulder of Emily's mecha, looking at my underlings who were sleeping or on guard.
"What's wrong, my lord?" Emily came out of the cockpit at the head of the mecha, then sat down beside me.
"What do you mean?"
she shrugged. "You look like you're deep in thought."
To be honest, I'm still trying to comprehend that I have an army this big and am on a mission to rule the world.
"What if I'm an ordinary person from another world who uses Vorn's form?" I muttered.
"What?" she frowned. "I don't even understand what you're saying."
"That doesn't matter, my lord." Velvet came to me while riding her wyvern. "I will keep loving you."
"I'm flattered." I chuckled, finding that Emily and Velvet glanced at each other. "Well, I'm just excited about what's coming next. Like I said, it's still early days. We all have a long way to go."
"And as I said, I will accompany you to the end," Emily added, pressing her body against mine.
Velvet jumped up and sat on my other side, sticking her body to mine too. I laughed and wrapped my arms around them.
"Yeah, I can't imagine this long journey with all of you. You all make me not get bored easily."
Feeling a vibration in my pocket, I took out a notebook, opened and closed it, then pressed it to my ear. I could hear Lexi's voice right away.
"Errr…." The doctor's voice was somewhat muffled by static. "Can I join?"
"It's time for us to sleep, Doc," I smirked, finding she standing at the mecha's feet.
"I'm not sleepy…. What are you doing!?"
I jumped off the mecha, then landed in front of the doctor, triggering her to flinch. Without saying anything else, I carried the dark green-haired woman's body like a prince carrying a princess.
Lexi widened her eyes at me with flushed cheeks.
Velvet hurriedly used her wyvern to rush at me while Emily jumped down, clinging from one gap of the mecha's armor to the other.
Meanwhile, I continued to walk casually. It's fun teasing them like this.
"Where are you going, my lord?" Velvet got off the wyvern and caught up with me, but I just shrugged.
There was a thud from near the mecha's feet. We looked back and found Emily lying there, clutching her left leg.
"Are you okay?" Velvet grimaced, running to Emily. However, the supreme undead turned her leg around, causing a cracking sound, and she could walk again in no time.
The former prophet was speechless because of that.
I'm laughing. "I haven't seen that from you in a long time, Emily!"
"Well, looks like you don't need any help." Velvet raised an eyebrow as the undead supreme passed by.
And I continued on my way, this time whistling. Emily and Velvet caught up with me and linked their arms to mine.
They want my dick so bad, huh?
"Aah, I want to have fun, but I want something different," I muttered, leading them into the lonely trees.
"I can show you something very different," Lexi responded.
Velvet added. "Mine can shoot out the fire!"
"Eh…. Uh…" Emily stuttered. "I can use another style…. You can move my feet to my hands, or take my head off….. And I'm talking weird stuff. Forget it."
The women exchanged glances, then laughed along with me.
"Well, don't worry. You'll all get it." I give a knowing smile. "But I also expect more from you."
We continued walking, then entered the tree line, away from the army.
