The moment he finished speaking, Dexa instantly vanished, putting two meters of distance between them, her expression icy.
The earlier foolishness was gone from her eyes, her tail stood erect behind her, and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"I advise you not to think of taking me hostage to rescue those captives," Karl shrugged.
"You know, I am a Dragon, and you are not my opponent."
The killing intent in Dexa's eyes solidified into a tangible form.
Karl's eyes, however, seemed to pierce her soul: "You also don't need to consider dying together with me, because I plan to let you leave, along with the remaining twelve captives."
He said, crossing his legs, his expression casual: "You know, I never lie."
Dexa's face changed several times before she finally spoke her first words: "Why?"
"Please, I am a Great Dragon; don't try to understand me with your narrow-minded thinking," Karl said, looking relaxed.
"I wanted to do it, so I did it."
He said, propping his chin with his hand: "I want to see more fun, and besides, they are true Knights.
It would be a pity if they died so ambiguously, wouldn't it?"
"I don't believe you," Dexa said coldly.
"No, you believe me," Karl said with confidence.
"I no longer see killing intent in your eyes."
Dexa's fists clenched.
What she found most unacceptable was that deep down, she truly believed Karl.
"In any case, I've already given the orders."
Karl casually took a set of clothes from a nearby wooden box and handed them to her: "These are the clothes you wore the day you were captured.
I've already cleaned them; put them on, and you can leave whenever you want to find Furan.
She will take you to where those Knights are being held."
He said, seeing that Dexa made no move: "One last time, in your preferred position, it seems you're already ready."
Dexa was stunned, then looked down to see a glistening wetness.
Her face darkened.
After days of intense molestation, her body had become accustomed to being penetrated after being bitten, automatically secreting fluids beyond her control, just as she craved at this moment.
Dexa's face was ashen; she snatched the clothes from Karl's hand and put them on.
Just as he said, the clothes had been cleaned, and even the torn parts had been mended.
When the fabric touched her skin, a momentary discomfort arose in her heart.
These seven days, she had felt the restraint slowly breaking under her deliberate manipulation of magic.
To avoid arousing Karl's suspicion, she had endured humiliation, wholeheartedly acting like a dog.
Suddenly wearing clothes, she even felt unaccustomed.
Normally, when outside, she only wore tattered rags that barely covered her body, and she had to be very careful not to expose herself.
This made her face incredibly mortified.
Dexa put on her clothes, turned, and pushed the door open to leave, not looking at Karl the entire time.
"Tsk, heartless after climax," Karl shrugged, then a smile curled on his lips; the last piece of the victory puzzle was already in his hand.
Dexa walked out of the wooden house, her neck free of the collar, and for a moment, she hesitated.
These days, with Karl leading her, she hadn't needed to think.
Now, suddenly gaining freedom, she actually felt a momentary disorientation.
Just then, several patrolling Lizardmen walked past her.
Dexa's eyes were cold; she pressed her fingers together, ready to act.
The Lizardmen patrol soldiers glanced at her and walked away as if nothing had happened.
"?"
Dexa was stunned, her emotions complex for a moment.
She had been led around by Karl these days, often being walked like a pet, and they had actually taken her for an allied unit.
Her mood was very subtle at that moment.
Dexa walked towards the main camp according to her memory.
Along the way, she encountered patrolling Monster Beast Legion soldiers; far from being arrested, some even nodded to her in greeting.
She entered the main camp and looked at the main tent.
Furan usually spent most of her time there discussing matters with Black Dragon King Kasha.
Since Karl started playing with feces, Black Dragon King Kasha had never left the main tent.
Dexa, however, hesitated.
It would be very strange if she just swaggered into the enemy's main tent like this.
Just then, a cold voice sounded from the side: "Are you looking for Lord Furan?"
"She is not in the main tent."
Dexa recognized the Dark Elf guard by her voice; she often helped Karl relay messages to Furan.
"Yes," Dexa felt very strange, but still nodded.
"Please wait," the Dark Elf said, then vanished from the spot.
Dexa stood still, watching the important enemy generals come and go around her, completely ignoring her.
She realized that she had become an allied unit within the Monster Beast Legion.
Not long after, Furan walked over, swinging her fox tail, and said casually: "Is something the matter?"
Dexa hesitated, then said: "Lord Karl sent me to retrieve the remaining captives."
As she spoke, she felt it was absurd.
However, Furan merely nodded: "Follow me."
Dexa followed Furan to the room where the remaining twelve captives were held.
These Knights, who had been prepared to die rather than surrender, had bewildered expressions as Dexa led them, swaggering out of the Monster Beast Legion camp.
As they walked out of the forest, they even saw Dark Elf scouts greeting their Vice Commander.
Regaining freedom should have been a cause for celebration.
But the entire group was silent.
Their gazes at their Vice Commander were very subtle.
Chapter 215: God of War Karl
"Why let them go back?" Furan's face was displeased.
After sending Dexa away as Karl requested, she hurried back to the wooden house.
Her beautiful brows were furrowed together.
Capturing over a hundred elites of the Snow Wolf Legion was enough to be a sensational event in the Northern Territory.
Yet Karl had easily released them.
But since Lord Kasha agreed, Furan had no choice but to seek answers from Karl.
"Want to know?" Karl's gaze swept over Furan's graceful body.
The fox's beauty was the highest among the Beastmen, especially the unique "ooh ooh" sounds she made during penetration.
It was the best sound for arousal.
"Come here, and I'll tell you."
Furan's face turned cold, her fox tail behind her curled up, subconsciously covering her abdomen: "I'm not interested in knowing, but I need to tell you, there are only three days left until the ten-day deadline you mentioned."
"Here, a reply from San Marino City."
She finished speaking and turned, fleeing as if escaping.
Furan used to not dislike doing it with Karl, but he had just sent Dexa away and immediately wanted her, which made her very disgusted.
She left the room and spat: "Shameless."
Karl opened the reply, his eyes quickly scanning the letter.
Aisha, upon receiving his command, immediately gathered soldiers to attack the nearest city.
Thanks to the powerful mobilization system he left behind, the soldiers of San Marino City had far higher execution capabilities than those of other lords.
Coupled with Sophie's summons, the Northern Territory nobles would all send elites to support the front lines.
Aisha had raised a regular army of sixty thousand, and under her command, they easily captured the nearest city.
Now Karl was a City Lord with three cities under his command.
Although they were all small border towns in the Northern Territory, other City Lords were now on guard, and continuing to conquer cities would result in heavy casualties.
Aisha asked him whether to first consolidate the gains of the war or continue attacking.
Karl continued reading, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Aisha's account mentioned that Hill had suddenly led her Dark Elf assassination squad in an attempted coup.
But Aisha had seen through it.
She had sealed Hill's and her trusted subordinates' magic, temporarily detaining them, awaiting his judgment.
"Hill's coup?" Karl murmured.
It was not surprising for Dark Elves, given their reputation on the continent, to commit acts of betrayal.
But the timing of Hill's coup was very suspicious.
Karl didn't fully trust Aisha, the former princess of the royal family; a woman who could kill her own brother for an ideal was certainly not benevolent.
But he couldn't leave right now.
Karl quickly wrote a reply, instructing Aisha to focus on consolidating the existing territory, while also leading troops to posture for attack on surrounding cities.
Attacks should only be carried out when there was a change in the battle situation.
Hill and her trusted subordinates were to be handed over to Bishop Victoria and Saintess Chris of the Church for detention.
At the same time, the Dark Elf sisters Lynn and Yi were to report to him at the front lines.
Karl finished writing the reply and summoned a Dark Elf guard, telling her to deliver the letter.
"Understood! Lord Karl!" The Dark Elf guard was very respectful to him.
In the eyes of the Monster Beast Legion, Karl's strength was not in his individual power, but in his ability to lead them to defeat invincible enemies as a God of War.
The Dark Elf bowed respectfully and left, then handed the letter to Furan for inspection.
Worshiping Karl and being wary of him were not contradictory.
Furan took the letter, her eyes quickly scanning it, and a hint of schadenfreude appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Hooking up with women indiscriminately, and now there's trouble."
After reading it, she folded the letter and handed it back.
As the Dark Elf messenger took it and turned to leave, Furan suddenly spoke: "Have Maru go with you to deliver the letter."
The Dark Elf messenger was startled, then nodded.
Maru was a Sixth-tier expert among their Dark Elf kin; having her go along to deliver the letter clearly indicated an intention to provide support and help Karl: "Understood."
Furan watched the Dark Elf messenger leave, then looked back at the wooden house and snorted coldly.
"Scum Dragon."
Meanwhile, Dexa led more than ten elite warriors of the Snow Wolf Legion, who would rather die than surrender, to Snow Peak Fortress.
From afar, she saw the shocking filth on the city walls.
Some had already dried to a dark color, while others were still wet, evidently having been splattered recently.
From a distance, one could smell the nauseating stench emanating from them.
Dexa suppressed her discomfort and shouted loudly below the city, but there was no response for a long time.
After a long ten minutes or more, a figure slowly appeared on the wall.
The person's eyes were lifeless, as if all vitality had been drained from him.
He merely glanced at Dexa, then turned and left.
Another long wait ensued; after a full half hour, the city gate was finally opened to a narrow slit.
Dexa suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart.
She knew best that Karl had not ordered an attack these seven days, yet Snow Peak Fortress had become unrecognizable to her.
"Vice Commander!" The mixed-blood fox-kin who spoke quickly came up to salute.
She was Xiao Yi, one of the first batch of captives to be released.
At this moment, her face was pale, her eyes revealed exhaustion, her eye sockets were slightly sunken, and her mental state was extremely poor.
Upon seeing Dexa, she quickly said: "Commander... wants to see you."
"What exactly is going on?" Dexa followed closely behind Xiao Yi, quickly scanning her surroundings.
This heavily guarded military fortress now resembled an abandoned ruin, pervaded by an indescribable stench that was almost suffocating.
