BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37: Liliana's Decisive Orders and Decisions
"Spear Hero and Bow Hero, you say?" asked Liliana once again in a cold tone.
"That\'s correct, Your Majesty," Heidel replied respectfully, taking a breath, though he couldn\'t shake off the slight sse of depression caused by the aura of pressure emanating from Liliana.
\'Sure ough... There must be something wrong with this attack,\' Liliana muttered, her vigilance intsifying as she analyzed the motives behind the Holy Empire of Elysium\'s assault this time.
The Spear Hero and the Bow Hero stood as heroes of humankind, alongside the Sword Hero, Leon, who now lives with her.
She had meticulously gathered information about the two heroes since her last confrontation with Leon, recognizing their formidable strgth.
Of course, despite their strgth, the radiance of the Spear Hero and the Bow Hero was consisttly obscured by the brilliance of Leon, the Sword Hero, who always emerged victorious in battles against the Demon Race.
As a result, there were far fewer details about them compared to Leon.
Nevertheless, Liliana did not dare underestimate them; after all, they too were heroes of mankind and formidable adversaries of the Demon Race!
After a brief momt of contemplation, Liliana swiftly regained her composure, causing the powerful aura suring her to dissipate, much to Heidel\'s relief.
Liliana\'s aura exuded intse pressure, causing ev Arch-demon-like him to feel a sse of tsion.
"Heidel, do you have an approximate time for their attack?" Liliana redirected her focus toward Heidel.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, the exact timing of the Holy Empire of Elysium\'s impding attack remains uncertain. However, our spies estimate that it will occur within the next three days." Heidel paused briefly, offering all the information he possessed.
The attack was shrouded in secrecy, and the Demon Race\'s spies in place faced challges in obtaining precise timing information regarding the Holy Empire of Elysium\'s troop movemts.
Liliana tapped her fingers on the table, as if pondering, before finally exhaling softly, as though having reached a decision.
With a determined air, she rose from her chair.
Her red eyes fixed on Heidel with an indiffert gaze, while an aura of the Emperor\'s majesty sured her.
"Heidel, I\'m giving you a direct order to prepare 600,000 Demon troops and assign two Demon gerals for the attack on the Holy Empire of Elysium," Liliana declared firmly, delivering the directive directly to Heidel.
As the Holy Empire of Elysium sought to gage her in a large-scale battle, Liliana, as the majestic Demon Emperor, recognized that there might be hidd meanings behind their actions.
However, she remained resolute; there was no chance she would retreat ev a single step!
The glory and majesty of the Demon Race must remain untainted by anyone!
Upon receiving Liliana\'s command, Heidel bowed respectfully before her.
"As you command, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!" replied Heidel respectfully, rising to his feet to leave.
Yet Liliana swiftly raised her right hand, signaling for him to halt.
"Heidel, in this war, I appoint you as the supreme geral to lead our tire Demon army," Liliana declared, issuing another order directly.
Recognizing that the strgth of two Demon gerals alone was insufficit to directly withstand the onslaught of the Holy Empire of Elysium, Heidel\'s role as commander-in-chief would provide additional assurance for Liliana.
After all, Heidel was the strongest Demon besides Lyra, with only a few levels below her, the Demon Emperor.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Heidel agreed without hesitation to Liliana\'s order.
It had be a while since he last vtured into battle, causing the bones of his middle-aged body to feel somewhat stiff in places.
Without lingering any longer, Heidel swiftly departed from his position, leaving Liliana alone in her workspace.
"Hah~" Liliana sighed softly as she watched Heidel depart, th settled back into her chair.
With news of the Elysium Holy Empire\'s impding large-scale attack, the weight of responsibility on her shoulders grew once more.
Yet, fortunately, Leon was looking after her three daughters, which eased her mind as she worked.
"By the way, are Charlotte and Iris still hesitant to meet Leon?" Liliana immediately thought of her other two daughters.
Moreover, the sight of Iris hiding behind a tree in the gard yesterday affirmed her suspicion that her two daughters were deliberately avoiding Leon.
"Those two stubborn girls..." Liliana could only sigh helplessly at their behavior.
She was intimately familiar with their personalities, particularly Iris, who mirrored her own traits closely.
"I can only hope that Leon can make both of them feel comfortable a him," Liliana mused, a faint smile gracing her lips as she trusted everything to Leon.
Reflecting on it, she realized that this was also Leon\'s responsibility as a father.
Lost in her thoughts, Liliana\'s heart suddly skipped a beat.
*Badumb!*
The sudd heartbeat was accompanied by intse pain, causing Liliana to grimace.
"Has the demon mark begun to reactivate?" Liliana frowned, swiftly oping the top collar of her dress, revealing two huge, breasts.
They were so huge and captivating that any man who caught sight of them couldn\'t help but feel a tightness in his pants.
However, Liliana\'s expression remained twisted in pain as she noticed a black mark forming on her right breast.
"How can the Demon Mark be active now? Wasn\'t it supposed to activate tomorrow?" Liliana bit her lower lip, her voice a murmured reflection of her concern.
The emergce of the Demon Mark was rooted in the incidt with Leon four years ago, which she had successfully suppressed through force.
Unfortunately, the Demon Mark had become active again due to her earlier suppression of the poison in Leon\'s body.
The only way to suppress this Demon Mark again was to replicate what she had done wh she suppressed the poison in Leon\'s body.
Recalling the astounding evts of that momt, Liliana\'s face flushed as red as a ripe apple.
"Leon, you scoundrel, this is all your fault..."
...
"Ah-choo!" Midway through his story, Leon suddly sneezed, his gaze darting a the library, finding only Charlotte seated on his lap.
Somehow, he had the unsettling ssation that someone was speaking ill of him behind his back, ev though he couldn\'t discern who or where it was coming from.
"Daddy, are you okay?" Charlotte asked with concern, noticing Leon\'s unusual behavior.
Upon hearing Charlotte\'s voice, Leon quickly refocused his atttion on her.
"It\'s nothing," Leon replied softly, affectionately rubbing her head.
Feeling his gtle touch, Charlotte\'s eyes crinkled into cresct moons as she savored the momt.
"Alright, let\'s continue the story," Leon said, resuming his narrative story for Charlotte.
