Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 342 A Legendary Family Reunion
To welcome Dorothy, Lee En specially arranged a bunch of government affairs for Catherine to handle. Fearing that Catherine would be too overworked, he also assigned his three trusted confidants, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to assist Catherine in completing them. It can be said that he went to great lengths to help her.

Lee and Catherine had a clear division of labor: Lee was responsible for continuing the war, while Catherine, in order to focus on her pregnancy, was responsible for handling post-war domestic affairs.

Although Catherine was tasked with revitalizing her family, she also clearly felt that the southern territory could not be expanded any further, otherwise she would have no time to attend to it.

She hoped to ensure the well-being of all her people, which required making wise choices. Moreover, it would be too greedy of her to claim all the land Li En conquered for herself. Her energy was limited, and she had no intention of becoming queen; managing the entire south was already enough to keep her busy. Therefore, she decided to discuss with Li En that if he conquered Spade Territory, they should leave the lord behind to handle internal affairs.

Just as Catherine was overwhelmed with domestic affairs, the legendary witch Dorothy arrived in the southern Loire region from the Court of the Azure Dragon.

Li En was also there to greet her.

"Lee En."

Dorothy called out Lee's name softly.

She stood at the end of the candlelit corridor, a long violet dress embroidered with silver thread flowing like water beside her.

Her long purple hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, like the most mysterious hue when twilight and morning mist blend together. Tiny rays of dawn swirled in her hair, swaying gently with her light steps, like a flowing galaxy.

Her skin was as smooth and lustrous as the finest pearl, with a faint rosy hue, as if it had never been touched by the vicissitudes of life. Those familiar eyes were still the most captivating feature of her face, like amethyst washed by morning dew, clear and deep, with slightly upturned corners, carrying an innate pride and spirituality.

Her lips were beautifully shaped like meticulously carved rose petals, naturally red without any makeup, and her lips naturally carried a faint smile that seemed both gentle and mocking.

She was still so beautiful, like a fairytale princess who had stepped out of a painting.

Li En stepped forward and hugged her tightly, inhaling her unique fragrance.

Dorothy felt Li En's warm embrace once again, and an indescribable emotion spread through her, causing her eyes to well up with tears.

"dad."

Alexander emerged from the portal, interrupting Li En's impending kiss with Dorothy. She rushed over and hugged Li En's head.

Li En was not angry about this; instead, he affectionately placed her on his neck.

The family of three is reunited, and the scene is filled with joy.

In other words, there were no painters or unknown artists present, otherwise they would have had to paint a scroll that would be passed down through the ages.

After all, this is a family that can be described as legendary. The father is the son of God, the mother is a legendary witch, and the daughter is a true dragon.

"Dorothy, Alexander, are you alright?"

"We are all fine."

Dorothy wiped her slightly reddened eyes.

Alexander beamed. Unlike her mother, she wasn't as sentimental. As she grew older, she became increasingly mischievous, causing quite a bit of chaos in the Azure Dragon Court. It was only because the Azure Dragon Court was large enough for her to wreak havoc that she caused trouble. If it were on the Southern or Northern Continent, it would inevitably lead to a disturbance.

"whee."

Alexander took the fire demon Cruz out of its mouth, and a ball of fire looked at Alexander resentfully.

"Could you please not put me in your mouth next time?"

Cruise grumbled and waved his paw at Lyon Moria. "Oh, Lyon Moria, we meet again. It's a miracle you're still alive."

"Hello, Cruise, I'm glad to see you're still alive."

Li En realized that if Cruise could be considered Alexander's nanny before, it had now completely become Alexander's pet.

This was Dorothy and Alexandre's first visit to the Loire Valley, and as their fiancé and father, Li En felt it was his duty to show them around.

As for the war in Spade Territory, that's not urgent for now.

Since it wasn't a monster invasion, but rather an internal war among humans, everyone upheld the fine tradition of issuing a challenge before starting the war.

The two sides are currently in a military standoff, with the revolutionary army stationed in the Loire region on the border of Spade territory.

The Loire lies at the crossroads of the Spade and Blue Moon territories. The Loire Mountains are considered the dividing line between the central and southern regions and also serve as a natural barrier for the Spade territory.

To attack Spade Country, we need to send troops over the Loire Mountains and station them in the Loire region.

However, the Loire region itself is not large enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops, and the mountainous terrain also makes resupply difficult.

So the witches simply blasted the Loire Mountains flat, making them disappear from the map forever.

The garrison of Spade Territory and the revolutionary army have not yet engaged in their first battle, but Spade Territory has already entered a state of high alert, ready to respond to any attack by the revolutionary army.

The 100-puppet army is Spade Territory's biggest secret weapon.

Li En delayed his attack for two reasons: first, he was waiting for Dorothy, and second, he was waiting for the ordinary population of Spade Territory to retreat.

The puppet army is as powerful as a witch. If they were to fight, they would definitely injure many civilians. The lord of Spade Territory is known as the most benevolent lord and would definitely make them evacuate in advance.

"Dad, this palace is so small. Is this where you live?"

Alexander asked innocently.

"No, this is the residence of the governor of the Loire region. I am only staying here temporarily. We will move out once we have conquered Spade territory."

Li En patiently explained to Alexander.

When the topic of war came up, Alexander's eyes lit up with excitement; she hadn't had a proper workout in a long time.

"Dad, believe me, I can definitely bring you victory. Let me do it."

Alexander is ready to devour everything in Spade Territory with Dragonfire.

“Alexander, your mother and I already have a plan, you don’t need to take action for now.”

Li En said.

Alexander kicked her legs and kept patting Li En's head with her little hands. If Li En hadn't already been a Seven-Star Knight, he probably would have died in the Northwest from such a casual pat.

"No, no, I want to go, I want to go."

Alexander said willfully.

"Don't hit your father."

Dorothy glared at Alexander, who then stopped attacking Li En's head and stuck out his tongue.

"I see."

Li En felt a headache coming on. Alexander was so reckless; it was no wonder his father wasn't around and he lacked discipline.

"Although you don't need to take action, you can fly around the Spade Territory a couple of times. Fly there whenever you have free time to put pressure on them."

Li En said.

Alexander nodded excitedly, "Good, good, good."

She leaped off Li En's shoulder, carrying the fire demon Cruise, and charged out of the castle, transforming into a giant dragon in the sky.

Li En's lips twitched. Alexander was now much bigger than before, no wonder he complained that the castle here was too small.

This castle wasn't enough for Alexander to lie down after his transformation.

The troops stationed in the Loire Valley all saw the giant dragon that blotted out the sun in the sky, and they couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Dragon! It's a dragon!"

"It's a dragon raised by the son of God!"

"That's right, it must be the dragon raised by the Son of God, flying out of the palace." The revolutionaries' confidence soared. They not only had the Son of God and the witch army, but also the help of a giant dragon. What was there to worry about in achieving their great cause? Overthrowing the imperial rule was just around the corner.

Some were happy while others were sad. When the lord of Spade Territory and the imperial army saw the black dragon soaring in the sky, they felt as if the sky was about to collapse.

The morning sun bathed the walls of Spade Territory in a golden hue.

On the city wall, the guards who had been silently carrying arrows and rolling stones all looked up, and the archers who were checking the condition of their longbows also stopped what they were doing and looked at the terrifying monster in the sky.

The guards on the watchtower rang the alarm bell signaling an enemy attack, and the sound quickly spread throughout the entire Spade Territory.

Beneath the city gates, the blacksmith's furnace burned all night. Hammers struck red-hot iron, sparks flying as craftsmen rushed to finish the last batch of arrowheads and spearheads. Apprentices ran, carrying bundles of weapons, sweat etched deep furrows into their soot-covered faces. The air was thick with the pungent, taut smell of burnt iron and leather, mingled with the strong, pungent odor of animal fat used by soldiers to clean their swords.

The citizens on the street looked up in alarm, while the guards escorting them out of the city frowned, struggling to maintain order as chaos was about to break out.

"Mom, it's a dragon! It's a real dragon! Look!"

"It's a dragon! It's a dragon! The dragon is attacking us!"

"Run! Run for your lives!"

"Shut up! Keep your formation, we'll get you to safety! Don't panic!"

The knight leading the group lashed out with his whip. Although he did not intend to treat these people as slaves, only by using force could he prevent the crowd from running amok.

This is the penultimate batch of citizens. Soon the people of Spade Territory will be able to completely withdraw, leaving only the fighting army and puppets.

The knight didn't want anything to go wrong at this time, even though he was terrified by the terrifying dragon that had appeared in the sky, he had to hide his fear.

Inside the lord's castle, the banners of the Barbor family fluttered in the wind. Joel Barbor and his ministers sat around a sand table, their fingers tracing possible enemy attack routes, their voices hushed, as if afraid to disturb the impending fate. The fire in the fireplace cast their shadows on the stone wall, twisted like menacing ghosts.

Hearing the commotion outside, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked out the window.

Their gazes froze at that moment.

"That's a dragon."

Count Joel Barbour said in a low voice, as if asking himself.

"Your Excellency, you should leave now."

The ministers offered their suggestions.

Joel Barbor shook his head. "This is fate's test for the Barbor family. Loyalty above life is Barbor's creed. We cannot betray the Empire, we cannot back down. Even if they come riding dragons, we cannot give up an inch. Behind us lies the heartland of the Empire; we must not allow the rebels to occupy it. All troops, assemble!"

"Yes, Lord Earl!"

Soon, the army of Spade Territory was neatly assembled in the square, and the archers had completed their preparations and were ready to attack the enemy at any time.

One hundred puppet girls stood at the front of the line, expressionless and orderly, reminding Joel Babor of the witches of the past.

The guardian witches once served in the Spade Territory; they were so loyal before, but now they have become enemies.

Joel Barbor didn't understand what had happened, only that it was Lyon Moria who had instigated it.

He led his cadres to the city wall, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

To the army's surprise, after waiting for a long time, no one came to attack the city.

The dragon in the story seems to be merely declaring its airspace rights; it's just a warning and a deterrent.

After flying two laps, Alexander obediently returned to the Loire Valley.

But Alexander did not find his parents; instead, he was surrounded by a group of witches.

The witches, led by Miriam, surrounded Alexander, who had been transformed into a little girl.

"Are you the dragon of the Son of God?"

"Milian asked."

"What, the Son of God?"

Alexander tilted his head. "My father is Lyon Moriah, my mother is Dorothy Hall, I am Alexander Moriah, and who is the Son of God?"

"The Son of God is your father, Lyon Moriah."

"They are the people we are following now," Miriam said.

"Alexander."

Cameron and Ellie, who are good friends with Alexander, stepped out from the crowd and affectionately patted Alexander on the head.

This showed the witches the correct way to communicate with dragons, and they all started to try it.

"Wow, so the real dragon's face is so soft."

"Alexander is so cute, let your big sister hug him."

"Alexander, let me hug you too."

Alexander felt popular, but she didn't like the way she was popular because she felt she was no longer a baby dragon, but a majestic dragon.

So she looked at her pet demon, Cruise.

Cruise understood, and instantly transformed from a docile fireball into a giant fire demon.

The witches stared in astonishment at the fire demon.

"Is this a magic trick?"

"Heh heh, this demon is going to devour you all!"

Cruise acted like a fierce demon.

This stirred up some unpleasant memories for Cameron.

"So it was you! The fire demon who appeared in the tranquil forest that day was you!"

Cameron pointed at Cruise, who paused for a moment, realizing he had been exposed.

"No, it's not me. I'm the Flame Demon Cruz, a friend of Alexander. You dare to bully my friend? I'll eat you all up!"

"That's you!"

Cameron pursued and attacked the fire demon Cruise. She was much stronger than before and believed she could avenge herself.

The fire demon Cruz not only failed to help Alexander, but was also "hunted down" by the witch.

While the witch and Alexander were bickering and playing around, Li En was also catching up with Dorothy.

The two hadn't been intimate for a long time, and their long absence made them even more inseparable, as they expressed their longing for each other.

The two didn't emerge from their room until the next morning, instructing the maid to tidy up the messy room.

The maids entered the room and found the overturned bed, the overturned desk, and the broken walls, suspecting that the two must have had a high-level sparring match in the room.

"Let's go, we should head to the front lines."

Lee En took Dorothy's hand, her eyes filled with love.

Dorothy nodded slightly. "I'm happy to do it for you, my dear."
