Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 246: Leaving the Fort

After breakfast, the trio headed to the training ground to meet Commander Raiden and General Lara.

Commander Raiden immediately ordered his subordinates to retrieve the corpses of Layla and Commander Charles because he believed they possessed the most critical information.

"Let me see your memories." Ren placed his right index finger on the cold forehead of Commander Charles’ corpse.

The moment his finger touched his skin, the world around him suddenly dimmed, and images like shards of shattered glass rushed into him like a stream.

Ren could see what kind of life Commander Charles had lived since he was little.

However, he was not interested in Commander Charles’ past.

He only focused on the memories related to Commander Charles’ conversations with King Aldric because everything else was meaningless to him.

After gathering enough information, Ren moved on to read Layla’s memories.

His expression darkened as he delved deeper because, within her thoughts, he discovered that King Aldric was planning to use dirty tactics to seize control of the remaining forts.

"How is it?" Althea asked,

"King Aldric plans to attack Sunspire Fort next." Ren told them everything he had seen in their memories, including King Aldric’s schemes.

Althea’s face grew grim as she listened.

The more she heard King Aldric’s evil plans, the angrier she became.

She even had the urge to beat King Aldric to death because he had always relied on deception and underhanded methods until now.

"What a cowardly king!" General Lara stated.

"Should we inform Commander Rowen immediately?" Commander Raiden inquired.

Rowen was the commander of Sunspire Fort, which was located at the southeastern edge of the border.

"General Lara, go to the communication room and inform Commander Rowen about that cowardly king’s plans." Althea didn’t want Sunspire Fort to fall into the same trap because she didn’t want to lose more subordinates.

"Understood." General Lara immediately made her way to the communication room.

"Commander Raiden, I will change your appearance, as well as your subordinates’ with magic. Your mission is to pretend to be the Tuiziya Kingdom soldiers and occupy their fort." Althea instructed him to contact her immediately whenever he received new information.

She also told him to reach her out if he faced trouble or if King Aldric became suspicious of him, because a single mistake could ruin everything.

Once everything was ready, Commander Raiden contacted King Aldric.

King Aldric was not suspicious of him and only wore a displeased expression because Commander Raiden hadn’t reported the outcome of their attack immediately.

Once their conversation ended, Commander Raiden met Althea and the others. "That is what we discussed earlier."

"General Lara, Ren, Zaria, let’s head to the Sunspire Fort." Even though Commander Rowen had already been informed about King Aldric’s schemes, Althea still wanted them to go there because she planned to seize the Tuiziya Kingdom’s fort.

"Un." Zaria and the others nodded.

Once they stored their belongings in their spatial rings, they leaped onto a massive bird and prepared to head for Sunspire Fort.

"You guys return to Nightshire City and help Scarlett protect the citizens." Ren forbade his subordinates from following him since there were only thirty of them now.

"Understood, leader." Kairos and the others responded in unison.

Shortly after that, the bird soared into the sky, carrying Ren and the others toward Sunspire Fort.

----

"Queen Althea, why don’t I use my skill to take us directly to Sunspire Fort? We would save a lot of time this way." Ren spoke abruptly.

"Why do you want to reach Sunspire Fort immediately? I’d prefer to take our time and enjoy the journey." there were three reasons why Althea refused his idea right away.

First, they had informed Commander Rowen about King Aldric’s evil plan, so everything should be fine.

Second, traveling to Sunspire Fort would help calm her mind, refresh her spirit, and lift her mood.

As a queen, she bore the weight of endless responsibilities, so the journey could be a rare relief for her.

And lastly, she was looking for opportunities to gain new experiences and pleasure, so they must not reach their destination too quickly because she believed there would be all kinds of exciting things on the way.

"Don’t you think so, General Lara, Zaria?" Althea asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." General Lara replied.

"I think so too." Zaria added.

"Well, I will follow your words then." He didn’t talk about it again because General Lara and Zaria also wanted to enjoy the journey.

Several hours later, they saw a city.

"Why don’t we take a break in the city and grab some lunch?" they had been riding the bird for hours, so Althea wanted a moment to rest and enjoy the atmosphere of a city.

"Great idea, Your Majesty." General Lara agreed instantly.

"I agree." Zaria added.

"Yes. Let’s relax in that city." He had been standing for hours, so he also wanted to rest and relax.

"Then it’s decided." Althea gave the bird the order to descend.

Once they passed the security check, they went straight to the restaurant and picked a private room.

The private room was on the second floor, so they could relax and enjoy the city view while they dined.

After eating, they didn’t leave the city immediately.

Instead, they went to a tourist attraction because they wanted to make a few memories before continuing the journey.

"Hmm?" Althea stopped her footsteps when she spotted a clothing shop. "How about we buy new clothes? They can be a reminder of our time in this city."

"Alright." Ren, General Lara, and Zaria said in unison.

Then, they headed to the clothing shop together.

The name of the clothing shop was Twilight.

Twilight was the biggest and most famous clothing shop in the city.

It had two floors, with men’s clothes on the first and women’s on the second.

Once they entered the shop, a female shop assistant greeted them with a warm smile. "Welcome to Twilight Clothing Shop. How can I assist you with your clothing needs?"

"We would like to explore the shop a bit before deciding, if that is okay." Even though the city belonged to her kingdom, Althea kept her identity hidden and shopped like an ordinary customer because it would be a new experience for her.

"That is perfectly fine." The female clerk responded warmly, "Feel free to look around, and I will be here if you have any questions."

Althea, Zaria, and General Lara went up to the second floor, while Ren stayed on the first floor.

Once the trio reached the second floor, they were greeted by a wide variety of clothes, from outfits suitable for public places to those meant to be worn only in front of their boyfriends or husbands.

When Althea saw sexy clothes, she approached her daughter and asked, "Zaria, how about you use this opportunity to win Ren’s heart?"

"What do you mean by that, mother?" Zaria still didn’t understand her words.

"Pick out something sexy and show him. Once he sees how stunning your figure is, he will fall for you instantly." Althea voiced out her crazy idea.

Zaria’s face turned red instantly.

Since she didn’t answer her question, Althea asked again, "So, how is it? if you agree with my idea, I will bring him here right now."
