I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 743 The City of Shadows and the Siege
"Master~ Why do we still need to carry this thing around?"

In the sky, a dozen figures left inky black afterimages as they flew through the swirling sand and dust.

Hot winds, carrying crystallized sand, constantly crash against the barrier of spirituality or magic, producing a crisp, tinkling sound.

Terry lifted the shadowy hood from her head.

She revealed a cute face with a slightly chubby chin, pouting in dissatisfaction:
"With such a pretty little face like Terry's blocked, even her owner doesn't look at her anymore~~"

As she spoke, she insisted on flying over and grabbing Rod's arm.

The loosened [Dark Veil Robe] had slipped down to his ribs, and he moved it around with the bulging fabric.

Rubbing against each other.

Instead, she blushed deeply, her beautiful eyes shimmering with moisture, exuding a seductive charm.

This attracted frequent glances from the other girls.

The girls who came this time are Terry, Vivian, Calliste, halfling Lily, ghoul Penny, orc Amy, zombie Selena, banshee Chris, spider elf Yuna, tieflint Cecilia, and rat girl number thirteen.

The earlier mention of a full mobilization was not an exaggeration.

The remaining girls have other missions and are not here; they will be picked up one by one later.

Of the eleven girls who followed Rhodes, none could rival Terry in winning his favor.

She then pressed herself against Rod, flirting with him, and they each had their own reactions.

Some were caught off guard, such as Vivian, Mouse Girl Thirteen, and Orc Amy.

Some are familiar sights, such as the zombie Selena, the banshee Chris, and the spider spirit Yuna.

Some hesitated to step forward but dared not, such as Tieflint Cyrus and the ghoul Penny.

Some bite their lips and let out a weak hum, like the halfling Lily.

Of course, there was also Callisto, who always kept a cold face and stared straight ahead.

The important business still needs to be done, but the cold war with a certain forest ranger is not over yet, otherwise the elf lady would probably have started to scold her immediately.

Many of the girls here were on their first business trip, so they weren't as relaxed as they were in the forest and didn't talk much.

Rod pushed Terry away.

"We're using the identity of the Knights of Light. Although I made up this organization on the spot, it's been embellished too much now, so we're just trying to avoid trouble."

The slogan of the Knights of Light is somewhat treasonous.

The idea of ​​"exposing lies and challenging hypocrisy" is too childish and righteous.

If it actually scares away some guilty guys and affects the business at the Coral Bay pier, then there's no need for it.

Businessmen can't be completely clean; they can't make money without getting involved in some shady dealings.

more than this.

If someone really thinks that Rhodes has some more ambitious ideas, there's no need for a "you've really ruined my life" kind of storyline.

City life is too crowded; the forest is much better.

Suddenly, Cecilia sped up and moved closer, grabbing Rhodes' other arm with a soft "heave-ho".

"Um, Rod, I'm flying too slowly, can I hold you and borrow your strength?"

"Hug me."

Rhodes nodded and put his arms around her waist.

The girl from the Tiflins isn't at a very high rank, only mid-seventh tier, and she's a spiritual warrior, so she might indeed be unable to keep up.

The girl's waist was slender, with a slightly fleshy yet firm figure that seemed contradictory.

The small, yet incredibly elastic flesh of youth pressed against my arm, giving it an unmistakably raw, budding feel.

There might be a lot of room for growth.

The pomegranate-red skin was burning hot, and it got even hotter when touched.

Sai Xier mustered her courage and came up, but she was still not used to being affectionate in front of everyone. Her face turned red, and her hands flared up and then instinctively grabbed someone's belt.

He then took the opportunity to extend his finger and trace patterns on someone's lower abdomen.

"Hey hey hey-"

Seeing Cecilia suddenly step forward, Penny immediately showed a pained expression and shouted:

"Master~~ I fly slowly too!"

Just as she was about to step forward and hug Rhodes' waist, a burst of magical light suddenly flashed around her. Her flying speed immediately increased significantly.

Penny knew what it was.

【Cloud Wings】, a spell that increases the speed of flight.
Pooh!
"Don't I know how? I'm going to take this opportunity to lick my master's abs! Who's the idiot who messed things up?!"
She turned around angrily.

Then she saw Calliste looking at her coldly: "Still slow?"

Penny shrank back and turned her face away sullenly.

The elf had a bad temper and was a highly valued talent in the forest, so he was not someone to be trifled with.

Moreover, according to Senior Terry, the elf and her master were actually having a secret affair.
That face, those long legs, that waist, that fair skin, that perky butt—aside from her chest being slightly larger, it seemed like I couldn't beat her in any way.
Then they're even more untouchable.

Let's keep moving forward quietly.

After the interlude.

The flight took about two and a half hours.

At the edge of the desert, the gray sky blends with the scorched yellow horizon.

The outline of the City of Shadows gradually came into Rhodes's view.

This city, which is rumored to be inhabited only by the dead, is built with building materials similar to those of ordinary cities.

The spires, domes, walls, and so on are all made of brick and stone.

But on this inorganic surface, a large number of unnatural shadows and piled-up ancient resentments have solidified, and the faintly visible, translucent ghost faces seem to writhe with emotion.

It had a sickly pale look in the sunlight, like a huge skeleton going from life to death.

The Shadow Sea surged not far from the city.

The pitch-black water had no reflections, only thick fog swirling on its surface.

This cursed inland sea is surrounded by the jagged, scimitar-shaped mountain range, whose prominent, rugged black peaks resemble the spine of a giant beast, exuding a pungent smell of decay and negative energy.

“Ahhhh——!!!”

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the sky.

The sandstorm suddenly surged, and a powerful shockwave expanded outward, blasting open a large blank space.

Rhodes also noticed that the gates of Shadow City had been breached by armored Atheron soldiers.

The stench of dissipating negative energy, the roaring friction of magic, and the stench of splattering blood.

They were immediately captured by the group, who were in a state of "group hunting" and possessed "keen sense of smell".

The source of the scream was none other than a ninth-tier undead being attacked by three others of the same rank.

The ninth-tier undead was tall and wore a magnificent black robe, clearly a figure like a city lord.

At that moment, a holy spear gleaming with golden light pierced through his crumbling chest, emitting a foul-smelling black flame, leaving him in a state of utter disarray.

Rhodes' eyes turned cold.

"Three people per group, each taking care of their own tasks, and I will handle the ninth level."

He drew the whip of [Painful Lash] and lightly struck everyone (except Calliste, who was unwilling), and suddenly his inspiration surged.

"Okay~~"

"clear."

"Food? Where's the food? Hey? Master, where's the food?"

"Oh! I will do my best!"

"Understood, Master, keep a close eye on my army!"

"Rhodes, you'd better save one Rank 9 for me this time."

"Can I not get the injection? My stomach seems to hurt a little."

"Is there a quantity requirement, my master?"

"Desert, trees, nothing, annoying."

"Humph"
