Chapter 579

Lawrend felt that it was appropriate to pat her head at this moment.

Ember was shocked at him, but she quickly accepted it. She had already announced to the world that she was his maid. There was no point in getting mad at him for patting his maid’s head.

“Y-your Imperial Majesty…” Julianne said in a flustered voice.

Lawrend turned to her and realized that she was still in his arms. Lawrend let go of her and shook his head.

Julianne avoided his eyes. Her face blushed as her breathing hastened.

After looking at Julianne, Lawrend turned his head to the rainbow moon not far away from them. He slightly grinned at them.

Of course, that grin of his looked like a sinister smile from the point of view of the six Earth Mages. The morale that was reignited by Yin quickly died out as they realized they had lost from the very beginning.

Their victory was only an illusory imagination inside their heads. With the Ignis Clan backing Lawrend, they wouldn’t dare to kill him even if they could. The Ignis Clan simply needed to send a Heaven Mage to flatten their whole empire.

“Your Majesty, we surrender! The Crescent Empire will not support this war with the Blumin Empire any longer!” an Earth Mage floated forward and shouted.

“Don’t worry. The Ignis Clan isn’t backing me. It’s only my maid here and me,” Lawrend replied.

Lawrend’s words failed to convince them. The six glanced at each other and slowly floated backward.

“Your Majesty, we will show you our goodwill with my guarantee, Renest Lork!” a staunch-looking middle-aged man said.

He stepped forward and stared at Lawrend with solemn eyes.

“You will still die,” Lawrend said matter-of-factly.

After all, he was still angry about the Blumin Empire’s attempt to kidnap and threaten him with his maids. He doesn’t care if they show their goodwill or not. He was already determined to kill them the moment he came here.

Since the Crescent Empire joined their side, he would destroy them together. He was Lawrend! He wasn’t someone they could fight and escape from.

“Brothers and Sisters, kill the Blumin Empire’s Earth Mages! This is a direct order! Violators will be killed and their descendants exiled from the empire!” Renest shouted.

He used his fire magic to send his voice everywhere by using the rapid expansion of air with heat. It was complex magic, and Lawrend was impressed when he saw it.

“Magic is really… amazing.”

Lawrend saw this used with wind magic and lightning magic. They all made the same results using different processes. It was interesting and amazing.

The Earth Mages from the Crescent Empire were shocked by the sudden announcement. They threw their enemies off and looked at Renest. Their eyes were filled with confusion.

“Just do it! The survival of our empire hangs on this thread!” Renest shouted once more.

The Earth Mages from the Crescent Empire took a deep breath before communicating with their enemies from the Trunden Empire. Some of them instantly formed truces and turned to attack the nearest Blumin Earth Mage.

As for the others, they backed away from each other. It was hard for them to trust their enemies all of a sudden, so they exercised caution instead.

And at that moment, chaos ensued on the battlefield. The tides turned towards the Trunden and Undrasil’s side. It was so sudden that the Blumin Earth Mages were frantic as they tried to dodge and defend themselves from the onslaught of powerful spells.

“Is that enough, YOUR MAJESTY!?” Renest shouted at Lawrend.

He was very anxious. He knew that Ember was the real deal because of her phoenix wings. Not to mention, her physical features screamed of an Ignis Clan descendant.

As for Lawrend, he doesn’t understand how he ended up in the Undrasil Kingdom, but he also believes he was a part of the Ignis Clan because of his physical features and ability to turn the princess of the Ignis Clan into his maid.

Renest ranked high in the Crescent Empire. He couldn’t let his empire be destroyed in his lifetime.

“Good. So decisive. If you can tell me why you are helping the Blumin Empire, I can consider letting your empire go,” Lawrend replied.

Lawrend initially thought that they would only stop their attack. This outcome was much better than he predicted. He decided to give him a chance because of it.

Renest gritted his teeth. He was low on mana, his fellow Earth Mages had already betrayed the Blumins, and Lawrend’s backing was a steel wall. It only took him a short moment to weigh what was more important.

“One of the Optim Clan’s elders wanted to kill you. I don’t know who, but that’s what I overheard from the Crescent Emperor!” Renest answered desperately.

After he said that, he felt more stressed than before. If Lawrend continued his attack, all of the deaths of this expedition would be his fault. The Crescent Empire would be severely weakened, and many of their enemies might come knocking on their doors.

And even if Lawrend stopped, he would still need to worry about the Optim Clan’s elder. He was a Heaven Mage! Destruction was still possible. He was forced to choose the lesser between two evils. Lawrend, who could kill them now, or the Optim Elder that might kill them later.

“One from the three great clans, huh…”

Lawrend looked up at the sky and thought about the three great clans.

There had always been fierce competition between the three clans since ten thousand years ago. One would always try to one-up the other two. This was precisely the reason why the trio stood at the center of the continent with their great power.

But even with all of that fierce competition, there was an unspoken rule about killing any of the other’s descendants. It could result in an all-out war, so it was speculated that it was the reason for the lack of wars between the three.
