Red Storm-Chapter 162

Book 5-1.3

“I am the one who is anxious. Honestly speaking, I never expected to get pregnant this quickly, but I presumed I would go with you since the timing will be right.”

“Do not do that and just stay here. Grace has done well so far, but I think her work is starting to pile up with the addition of the extra oases. Stay here and help her.”

Violet stood up from her seat after hearing what Yulian had to say, before putting her arms on the side of her hips.

“Honey, I didn’t know you had such thoughts. Even the women of the desert live with fulfilling the responsibilities of their words. Unless Grace-nim asks me for help personally, I will not butt in. That would be like bringing shame to Grace-nim.”

“Why would it be shameful for family members to help each other?”

“Even if it is a family member, would you feel good if someone else took your work? Warriors are not the only ones with responsibilities.”

It must be because Violet used to be the head of a tribe, but her words definitely carried a lot of logic. Yulian could not figure out what to say for a while before finally opening his mouth.

“Either way, you cannot come with us. Why don’t you learn about Tuma Takaka-nim’s work since he is starting to age?”

“I have already memorized all of his work. In addition, I specialize in incantations to harm others.”

“No matter what you say, the answer is no.”

As Yulian continued to share his opposition, Violet put on an angry expression as she started to speak.

“You are not acting like a Glow.”

“What?”

“You are worried about your wife that you are letting go of a method that will easily bring victory to Pareia. You are not acting like a Glow.”

“Ha~!”

Yulian scoffed at this unbelievable response. His abilities as a Glow was being questioned by none other than his own wife.

“It is only right for me to take me with you. You must then use my strength to bring victory to Pareia. I am a woman who came to Pareia for that reason.”

Violet did not give Yulian any time to respond as she continued to stare at him with a firm gaze. Yulian could only internally shake his head.

Grace was a stubborn one, but Violet was almost just as stubborn. Especially in a situation like this where her words were full of logic, there was no way to convince her other than by blocking his ears and not saying anything.

“Glow!”

The moment Yulian was about to say something once more, he heard someone shouting for him from outside.

“Who is it?”

“A messenger warrior has arrived from Greatest Warrior Thriger.”

“From Thriger?”

Yulian quickly headed out and looked toward the messenger warrior who was waiting for him.

“What is the message?”

“Greatest Warrior Thriger has indicated that he urgently needs Shopping.”

“Shopping?”

As the messenger warrior said something unexpected, Yulian responded with a bit of surprise.

“Yes, he clearly said Shopping.”

“Only Grace and I are capable of handling him and Grace will need to give birth in the next few days.”

Yulian mumbled to himself before finally giving a response.

“I understand. Let him know that Shopping will arrive in a few days.”

“Yes, Glow.”

As the messenger warrior rushed away to deliver the response, Yulian thought things through before deciding to have an urgent meeting of Greatest Warriors.

Most of the Greatest Warriors were already at the Large Oasis because they were preparing to head out to war. Thanks to that, they all quickly gathered as soon as they heard Yulian was calling for them.

“The reason I have called this meeting today is because I will be leaving for a bit.”

Everyone started to whisper at Yulian’s statement. A lot of things could go wrong for the commanding officer to leave right before a war.

“Did something happen?”

Yulian nodded his head as Runa asked.

“Greatest Warrior Thriger has asked for Shopping, and currently, I am the only one who can control him.”

“Even so, a lot of things will have to be slowed down if the Glow is not here right now.”

Yulian responded to Runa’s concern.

“I hope that you are able to finish the preparations without delay even while I am not here. I leave it up to you. If Greatest Warrior Thriger is asking for Shopping, he would definitely be aware that I would be coming with him. I think we can take it that he has a method to instantly defeat the enemy to call me over right now.”

Yulian took another look at the Greatest Warriors.

“I will leave Greatest Warrior Egane as the temporary commanding officer while I am away. Runa will discuss with Greatest Warrior Egane to proceed with the preparations. Greatest Warrior Vibli will head out tomorrow as planned. I will not say anything else as nobody here needs me to guide them.”

Yulian’s majestic nature continued to rise each and every day. Although he personally respected Egane and Vibli, he was able to show the demeanor fitting a Glow in a public setting like this.

The three warriors who received orders all bowed their heads and responded.

“We will do as you wish, Glow.”

Grrowwwwl!

Shopping started to growl as if he was annoyed.

The small monsters in the vicinity that heard Shopping’s growl could only shake in fear.

There may only be a few of them, but the Giant Sand Dragon was the monster that was on top of the food pyramid.

Hearing the voice of that monster made these monsters instinctively shake in fear.

Shopping quickly crawled through the Monster Desert and the quicksand river. It was annoying to do what his owner asked him to do, but he would get eat up significantly if he did not do it properly.

His owner had not given him many orders in the last few years, but more importantly, he had not been hit even once in the last few years. Grace and Yulian were the only people who could hit Shopping, but that actually made him fear his owner more.

But most importantly, the reason he was able to evolve into a Giant Sand Dragon was because of the strength of his owners. Since Shopping definitely knew this was the case, he had no thoughts about seeking his freedom.

In fact, it was easier to stay by his owner’s side. If he was hungry, he just needed to go find wild animals or monsters to eat. There was no point to eat humans since they were extremely tiny. Eating large animals or monsters was much better.

Was that it?

He didn’t need to fight for territory with other tribes, and his owner was very happy and played with him when he brought a shiny stone every so often.

Sand Dragons are monsters that tend to live alone. That was their nature so it was hard for them to get along with other monsters, but after becoming domesticated, Shopping was feeling a connection with his female owner.

A shabby looking female Sand Dragon was working hard to chase after him, but Shopping himself was not very interested.

To clarify things once more, the reason he was able to evolve into a Giant was because of the magical powers of his female owner.

She had a vibrantly shining necklace around her neck, and everytime she caressed him, he could feel his Monster’s Soul growing little by little.

Grrooooooowl~

Shopping felt good thinking about his female owner that he was starting to feel less annoyed.

He needed to move quickly. The male owner did not give him much time.

Shopping was focused on properly doing his job.

Thriger’s ships started to move in five squads of two, with Thriger’s Ship 0 leaving last on its own as they divided into a total of six teams.

In addition to the Red Desert flag on Ship 0, there was another flag on there right now. It was the Golden Flag that symbolized the Glow of Pareia. This flag meant that the Glow was on this ship right now.

The ships started to thoroughly search through the quicksand river once more.
