The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Chapter 51
Alex stood in front of The Castle Walls while Riya folded his collars.
“Please, Take care,My Lord and try to return as soon as possible.”
“I will finish the things quickly,” Alex spoke and holding Riya’s head, he pulled her closer and gave a gentle kiss on her forehead.
“Riya, you too take care of yourself. You are always busy serving me. Rest a little and do what you like. I don’t want you to follow me from behind, rather I want to walk beside you with each of us taking steps together.”Alex spoke as he looked at Riya’s lovely sparkling eyes and tried to capture her beauty in his heart because he knew that on this journey he was going to miss her a lot.
“And you lazy Leo, take care of my wife, if I see a single wrinkle of worry on her face, I will beat the shit out of you.”
Leo’s lips twitched several times and wanted to protest but seeing Alex’s sharp gaze, he jumped and cuddled in Riya’s arms.
Riya chuckled and said, “My Lord, Please don’t bully him.”
Alex frowned and thought, ‘This bastard is eyeing my position. I will teach him a lesson after returning.’
Alex could see Riya’s worried and anxious look as she tried to hold the dam of tears from bursting out.
Leaving Riya and going to the western region was also tough for Alex as, without her lovely presence, he was sure that he would feel lonely.
But still, he had to go after all it was his duty to oversee the Kingdom’s safety. Moreover, he wasn’t the only one leaving behind his dear ones.
All his soldiers were in the same position, some were leaving their wives and kids while some were leaving behind their old parents for the safety of the kingdom and for the safety of families.
Alex walked under the heavily armoured lineup. All of them were covered with battle armour gears and all of them had weapons made of the and the quality of those weapons was incomparable to those that they had previously.
All the soldiers raised their swords forming a cone under which Alex walked and rode the horse.
All the citizens have gathered to see their King’s march.
Many even threw flowers and wished him luck on his journey.
The soldier’s armour and swords glowed and reflected the sparkling light of the sun.
Alex smiled and waved his hands, he even winked at several ladies whose weak hearts weren’t able to survive Alex’s charms.
Little did he know, this sweet gesture of his didn’t remain hidden from Riya’s sharp eyes and an unforgettable calamity was going to befall on Alex.
……
The sky was black like an abyss without the twinkling of stars still it looked like a piece of art.
Underneath the starless sky, the soldiers marched in tune while their faces were as white as the moon.
Alex rode the horse and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around him and captured it in his heart.
He made sure to enjoy to his heart’s content while activating his breathing technique and was in a meditative state.
The soldiers guarding beside him surrounded him so that there was no disturbance or attack from any monsters.
They were amazed at Alex who was able to achieve peace of mind even when he was riding the horse.
They have many carriages following them. One was for Alex and the other carried their weapons and equipment but Alex refused to sit inside the carriage and rode the horse with them.
Every time the cold, pleasant wind blew, leaves scattered under the blanket of autumn.
Alex’s long blonde hair fluttered as the soft wind brushed past him accompanied by blossoms of pinkish leaves falling on him as if congratulating him for heeding nature’s call and arriving here.
Mana in the air condensed around him and started to swirl around him and was sucked in rapidly like a black hole by his lungs which passed through his body.
Alex didn’t know whether the season had changed due to time or because they came to the Western region which was in stark contrast to the hot and humid weather of the east but Alex was mesmerised by this place.
But deep inside his heart, he knew that it was all a facade.
The enchanting beauty of the forest is just a veil underneath which countless dangerous beasts and monsters rest.
Waiting for people to be charmed by the scenic beauty under the starless night, they will come out with all their might and crush them down without any pity.
That’s why Alex ordered his soldiers to resume their march instead of camping.
Each of them had their guard up and as they ventured too deep into the forest they could hear the rustling of leaves which heightened the eerie feeling crawling under their skin. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m
Alex suddenly halted as he felt many beats surrounding them.
He raised his head and halted the march.
“Soldiers take the positions,” Alex shouted.
On Alex’s call, an outer perimeter of people with shields was formed consisting of tankers while archers drew their bows.
Alex raised his bow and closing one of his eyes fired an arrow.
With a swish whistling sound, the arrow flew tearing the wind.
After an instant the arrow was fired, a loud shrieking sound was heard that shook the entire area.
The soldiers were stunned by Alex’s shoot. They have only fire torches with them which could light around 10 metres around them and beyond that, they couldn’t see anything but their king shot down the beast from such a distance without seeing the target.
“They are coming,” Alex shouted.
Following his call, many loud growls were heard which blew away the silence prevailing in the forest.
TACK!TACK!TACK!
The soldier heard the cracking sound of twigs and saw a large pack of wolves dashing madly at them
Running towards them, they pounced on the people who were at the front wielding the shield.
As they pounced on the prey, they slash their paw at the shield and as their sharp claws collided with the shield sparks flew.
The men at the front were pushed a few steps back but they didn’t let the defence line fall.
As the wild wolf raised their paw and was about to slash again, an arrow flew and penetrated its eye.
Just like that wolf, many wolves were shot down by the rain of arrows. Seeing the wolf being caught unguarded by the archers.
The defenders pulled the shield and raised it over the wolves, smashed their heads with the shield and hit the nasty wolves’ heads until their heads were smashed into pulp.
