The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1047: Getting Famous

A week later,

There was a development that became the hot topic among the citizens of the Gardum Kingdom. For the past few days, news of victory after victory in battle kept reaching their ears, giving them hope and happiness.

After the past few years of war, during which they seemed to keep losing, they finally received good news, something that gave them optimism. The devils in the Gardum Kingdom kept losing their foothold in the kingdom, leaving only a few bases on the western side of the kingdom.

However, there was another story that accompanied the news of victory. There was a figure present in many of the battles, a new figure they had never heard of before.

The name Aldrian started to spread because of his strength and capabilities. The story about the falling meteorite had already spread across the kingdom, and that was the first time the name Aldrian spread widely.

Some troops on the northeastern side, who became witnesses at that time, were undoubtedly the ones who spread it to their acquaintances. From there, the story started to develop and grow much bigger.

Aldrian was also someone who could detect any devil spies, who had already become a problem for the kingdom’s troops for quite a while.

Another remarkable thing was that if he was involved in a battle, the casualties would be greatly reduced. This had already been proven in several battles, with or without him present.

The story about Aldrian became more exaggerated among the citizens, such as the claim that he might be a reclusive immortal who stayed in the mortal world. He came out of his seclusion after a long time because the situation forced him to do so.

Although most people had never seen Aldrian, the description of him had already spread. Many said he had a youthful appearance and a handsome face that would attract all beings.

Some people from various organizations, curious to see him, even traveled to the nearby frontlines in the hope that they could at least catch a glimpse of him.

The situation in the Gardum Kingdom also started to attract attention from various nearby nations. They also began to learn about Aldrian’s existence.

They could also feel the earthquake when the meteorite fell after all. At that time, many were confused about the source of the earthquake, but after some time, they finally learned how the devils in the northeast of the Gardum Kingdom were wiped out.

With Aldrian’s name continuing to spread, there was no way that what he did in this war could remain hidden from them. The powers of this world were connected to each other, as it was important to know each nation’s development in the war.

This was important for their coordination and survival, as all of them were on the same side. With the Gardum Kingdom pushing back the devils, the nearby nations were also affected by it. They saw hope for the future.

And as for the devils? They were already anxious as they started to lose ground.

In an unknown place far from the frontline, inside a vast hall, a woman lay casually on a chaise lounge. The only thing she used to cover her voluptuous body was a piece of red cloth that covered her breasts and her crotch area.

Her long red hair reached her waist. She had sharp eyes that could captivate anyone, a beautiful pointed nose, and all of that created a mature and beautiful face. Anyone who saw her would find it impossible not to be attracted to her unless they were abnormal.

However, she was like a poisonous flower that could kill anyone who thought she was an easy target. Her peak pseudo immortal stage cultivation was not for show, and it only proved her great talent as a cultivator.

The devil aura exuding from her also made those who desired her think twice about whether they truly wanted to approach her.

Normally, she showed an indifferent expression all day, as if she were bored of being here. However, for the past few days, she had frowned much more because of the events happening in the Gardum Kingdom.

Like at this moment, when a woman wearing scanty attire that only covered the intimate parts of her body knelt not far from her and gave a report.

"At this moment, the Gardum Kingdom could be said to be entirely lost, my lady. There is nothing we can do to flip the situation in the Gardum Kingdom, as we lack the troops to support our position there."

"Our spies also cannot do much, as they are always caught by that person named Aldrian. As for the puppets, we also cannot act recklessly, as that would raise the suspicion of the royal family, who already seem to be realizing the existence of traitors among the nobles."

"That is the latest development in the Gardum Kingdom."

The kneeling woman then stopped.

The red-haired woman frowned deeply as she thought about how she would deal with this problem. The direction of the war over the past few days had started to shift against them, which was bad.

With the Gardum Kingdom successfully wiping out their troops there, it raised the enemy’s morale, making the war even more difficult. Worse, some nations seemed to realize that they were lacking troops, as reinforcements from the central region of Heaven and other regions had stopped entirely.

If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they lost and were forced to leave this world.

’Aldrian, Aldrian... he is the one who has dealt us the most devastating damage. Where the hell did he come from? He appeared out of nowhere and ruined our plan,’ the red-haired woman thought.

’The fact that he could catch our spies without fail is already incredible, making him our priority target. Luckily, he does not seem to know about the puppets. Still, for him to have that kind of capability and power... is he someone at the level of His Majesty?’

The moment she reached this conclusion, she shook her head.

’No, there is no way he could be at the level of His Majesty. His Majesty is already on a different level compared to anyone in the First Heaven. But this guy is the real deal and much stronger than a normal peak pseudo-immortal stage cultivator.’

She bit her lips.

’Why is there still no news from His Majesty? He should have already arrived at the central star cluster and taken care of the problem there. We should have also received an estimation of how long we will have to wait for the reinforcements.’

The woman then changed her position and sat elegantly.

’Forget it. If there is still no news from His Majesty, then so be it. There is nothing that could stop him anyway.’

Her mind then returned to Aldrian once again.

’It looks like we have to focus on that man first if we want to get rid of the threat in this world and flip the situation... even if we have to use crude plan.’

After thinking for a few moments, she finally opened her lips.

"Send a group of Dark Lily to Aldrian. Send the best of them. Whatever happens, we must kill that man. Let’s see if he can withstand the desire inside him. As a man, his weakness should not be different from others."

"Yes, my lady," the kneeling woman replied before she left the hall.

The red-haired woman then lay down again and closed her eyes.

’I hope he has the same weakness as those other men. If not...’

If Aldrian heard what this woman was thinking, he would likely strangle her to death and even torture her.

’Well, maybe I should finally step in myself. I feel bored since I have not found anyone worthy of me here. I could finally entertain myself. It has been so long since I enjoyed such pleasure. I wonder if that Aldrian could satisfy me like His Majesty?’

’Ah... I can’t wait.’

--------------------------------

In the Gardum Kingdom, on the western frontline, a battle broke out at this moment. The kingdom’s troops were attacking the last devil camp occupying the western front. This was also the last devil base inside the Gardum Kingdom.

The moment this base was destroyed, it would signal that the Gardum Kingdom had retaken its entire territory from the devils.

The battle itself was more like a one-sided slaughter, with the kingdom’s troops, supported by Aldrian, killing the devils with ease.

Aldrian floated in the sky, killing the devils with his sword strikes as if he were cutting weeds. Each of his normal swings took the lives of several devils.

"This is not over, bastard! You will regret going against us! You will regret it!" one of the devils shouted in desperation before being stabbed by one of the kingdom’s troops.

"Our god will come for you! His Majesty will torture you to death!" shouted another devil before his body was cut apart by Aldrian’s strike.

The devils could do nothing against enemies who were far greater in number and stronger in quality. Moreover, Aldrian was there. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The devils were slaughtered to the last one. They could not even commit suicide, as Aldrian cut down every one of them who tried to do so.

Blood flowed across the battlefield, and bodies were scattered everywhere. The moment the last devil fell, the troops instantly stopped their movements.

Prince Martis, who was leading this attack, could not hide his smile when he saw the last devil fall. After making sure all the fighting had ended, he raised his sword.

"We win!"

"UWOOOO!" Thousands of troops also raised their weapons and roared in triumph.

After years of war, they had finally liberated their kingdom from the devils’ occupation!
