The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa nodded, then pointed to the lace blouse beneath the silver armor:

"Didn't you realize that this shirt is part of the school uniform summer outfit?"

"Uh...sorry, I graduated more than ten years ago and I really haven't paid attention to this."

The middle-aged mage soldier gave a wry smile, and his tone softened.

Valencia saved him, and since she genuinely didn't know the order, there was no need for him to hold onto it so tightly.

But soon, the middle-aged mage vanguard's expression turned serious again. He reiterated the order to Valensa and warned her never to try to capture any more elite beast warriors who had broken into Fran territory alive.

"Well, I see."

Valensa didn't refuse; after nodding, she asked curiously:

"Why would command issue this order? Does it mean that all the elite warriors of the wild beasts that break into the country will self-destruct like that?"

"……Yes."

The middle-aged mage soldier took a deep breath, his eyes filled with sorrow:

"These bastards have swallowed a lot of high-quality fire-attribute magic crystals in advance, and even injected detonation spells into their bodies... If there is any possibility of them becoming prisoners, they will not hesitate to self-destruct!"

Before that order was issued from command, two of my comrades were killed in suicide attacks while attempting to capture the enemy alive and extract intelligence… One of them remains unconscious to this day, while the other has returned forever to the divine realm of the Sun Goddess.”

"...Tsk, these trashy creatures, they're truly despicable!"

Valensa muttered a curse under her breath, then a thought struck her:

"Could it be... that this is the purpose of the Beast Clan's large-scale breakthrough with elite squads this year? They want to use self-destruction to replace our elites in Fran?"

"Uh... I don't think so."

The middle-aged mage vanguard shook his head:

"At first, we were indeed tricked by the self-destruction and suffered a lot of casualties. But after the command issued the official order that no survivors should be left, the beasts never succeeded in their self-destruction again."

Moreover, the pre-installed mechanisms within these wild beasts aren't limited to self-destruction... Look over there."

As the middle-aged mage vanguard spoke, he pointed to the two beast corpses that Valensa had killed instantly at the beginning.

Valensa followed the middle-aged mage's finger and saw that the two beast corpses, which had been relatively intact, had changed drastically. Their bodies seemed to have been burned from the inside and carbonized, and their heads had turned directly into ashes.

"This is……?"

Valensa asked, frowning.

"The fire-attribute magic crystals inside them can only be detonated through a detonation spell, which in turn must be activated by their own will. So if we can kill them with lightning speed before they self-destruct, like you have done, we can prevent them from self-destructing."

The middle-aged mage explained:

"After discovering this situation, we tried to quickly kill the beasts while preserving their relatively intact corpses, and then use necromancy to directly extract information from their brains. Although the information obtained in this way was mostly fragmented, it was better than nothing."

However, after actually implementing it, we found that this method also didn't work—these elite warriors of the wild beasts that broke into our territory had other magical techniques within them, which would automatically destroy their bodies upon death, leaving us no clues to follow.

"...These wild beasts are indeed fearless. They must have forced their way into our country with the awareness that they would die."

Valensa sighed, then twirled a lock of brown hair behind her ear:

"However, the more they keep their intelligence secret, the more it proves that they have a big conspiracy—it's definitely not just about stealing some food; they're just trying to mislead us!"

Chapter 55 As long as you don't get caught, it's not considered a violation of discipline.

The middle-aged mage vanguard agreed with Valensa's speculation, also believing that the Beastmen's tactic of using elite warriors to forcefully break in and seize food this year was absurd and that there was most likely another conspiracy.

The command center shares the same view, but unfortunately, intelligence remains insufficient... They only know that the beasts likely have other schemes, but what exactly those schemes are? They don't know.

As they discussed their various speculations, the two escorted the remaining half of the transport team to Bizk Town, where the team would reload food and replenish manpower to continue their food delivery mission.

Ordinary soldiers didn't have Valensa's physical strength, so the column moved very slowly, taking more than half an hour to cover the 8-kilometer distance.

When they were about 2 kilometers away from the camp in Bizk, Valensa and her group encountered Bob, a big red-bearded man carrying a battle axe and hurrying along.

Bob visibly relaxed when he saw Valensa and the others, but quickly straightened up and snorted in a smug voice:

"Why are you back so late? Your clothes are all tattered. You must have been careless and suffered a loss because of your lack of experience. I knew it. A pampered noble lady like you is unreliable... Next time something like this happens, let me handle it."

"Yeah, I see."

Valensa could tell that Bob was indeed a pretty good person, just as Cole had said, and that his current behavior was merely a facade. So she smiled and nodded obediently.

"Next time something like this happens, please ask Mr. Bob for help."

"...Tsk, at least you know what's good for you."

Bob then smiled slightly and greeted the middle-aged mage soldier again:

"Hey, Carol, are you alright?"

"Hi Bob, I'm fine, thanks to this amazing paladin lady..."

The middle-aged mage soldier seemed to know Bob quite well, and the two quickly started chatting.

Valensa didn't interrupt and walked ahead of the group alone, but soon heard Bob's incredulous exclamation behind her:

"What? You're saying that young, innocent-looking girl killed two enemies in seconds and almost captured a third alive? The damage to her clothes wasn't from a fierce battle, but from being directly hit by a self-destruction... She only lost her clothes after being directly hit by the self-destruction??"

Are you kidding me, old buddy? Or are you lying to me to lure in reinforcements, and the three enemies who attacked your team weren't actually the Lighthouse, but just a more formidable Pearl?

"You can't just say things like that, old friend!"

The middle-aged mage soldier retorted somewhat angrily:

"It's fine if you question that paladin's strength, but how can you question my character? Do I look like the kind of person who would lie about military intelligence? I have pride too... If I weren't truly outmatched in a three-on-one fight, why would I have asked for help?"

"This……"

Bob stammered, unable to speak. He trusted his old friend and had to believe that Valensa might really be amazing.

The group quickly arrived in Bizk town.

Besides the soldiers in the military camp, there are still a small number of civilians living in the town of Bizk.

These civilians are mostly relatives and friends of the soldiers in the military camp. They run entertainment businesses to provide the soldiers with opportunities to relax during holidays.

However, most of the town's civilians would evacuate every autumn, leaving only a small number to help with some transportation work, while the rest of the civilians would return after the war ended.

The transport convoy that Valensa rescued stopped in the town of Bizk and did not enter the military camp.

They will rest here briefly until the loading and unloading workers have prepared the new grain trucks, and then they will set off again to continue their grain transportation mission.

Kairo then followed Valensa and Bob into the barracks to report to Drake.

He neither concealed Valencia's achievements nor exaggerated them, but simply described the attack he had suffered and how Valencia had killed three enemies.

Almost all the officers in the audience were surprised by Valenza's achievements, but Tia remained very calm, clearly not surprised at all by Valenza's abilities.

I just felt a bit sentimental.

Last year, at the end of the third stage of the War Academy's entrance exam, a Lighthouse-level elite beast warrior nearly brought the two to their deaths. This year, Valensa can easily take on three opponents at once.

It wasn't until she heard that Valensa had taken the brunt of the Beast Clan's elite warrior's self-destruction that a hint of panic appeared on Tia's usually calm face, and she hurriedly asked Valensa if she was injured.

"The person isn't injured, but the clothes..."

Valensa's heart skipped a beat. Seizing the opportunity, she pointed to her torn shirt and stockings, feigning pitifulness:

"Ugh, I feel so dirty and uncomfortable. I really want to take a good, long shower... the kind where I wash my body thoroughly with warm water, instead of using these weird cleaning scrolls."

This request is perfectly reasonable, and even if spies from other families in the military camp try to use it to criticize her, Valensa can rightfully refute them.

Tia naturally understood Valensa's meaning and chuckled softly:

"Let's go to my room, there's a bathroom there."

"it is good!"

Valensa had no interest in the meeting, so she immediately took the opportunity to leave and went to Tia's room for a nice, relaxing shower. After showering, she rolled around on Tia's bed in her nightgown.

Valensa hadn't been intimate with Tia for several days, and she really wanted to take this opportunity to be intimate with her again.

Unfortunately, Tia was too dedicated; she spent the entire afternoon in meetings.

First, he held a small meeting with the officers in the camp, and then, with the help of a magical projection, he participated in a large remote meeting hosted by the Supreme Command with Drake. He had no time to go back to his room to be with Valensa.

After Tia finally finished her work, it was already evening, and it was Valensa's turn to go on patrol.

Valensa had no choice but to give up and wait for another opportunity.

After learning of Valensa's easy victory against three opponents, the command did not assign her to escort the transport team. Instead, they ordered her to hold the town of Bizk and not leave the camp unless there were special circumstances... She was not even allowed to hunt monsters for food in the wilderness near the camp.

Bob and Cole, on the other hand, once again became regulars on transport escort missions, spending most of their time on the road.

Even Gina carried out several escort missions. During that time, Valensa was the only elite combat force openly displayed in the entire town of Bizk, and the command seemed to have great confidence in her.

Not being able to leave the camp to hunt for food was indeed a regret for Valensa, but she quickly found something even happier.

Violations of rules are often relative... as long as you don't get caught, it doesn't count as a violation of rules.

Previously, when patrolling, Valensa had other scouts to assist her, so she could only behave herself. Now, however, she was often the only scout in the camp, and her mind started to wander.

Chapter 56 Spa

That night, Gina was out on an escort mission and hadn't returned yet, leaving Valensa as the only patrolling soldier in the camp.

She timed it perfectly, skillfully avoiding other sentries and patrolling soldiers, and quietly sneaked into Tia's cabin.

The clothes that Tia had just taken off were draped over the back of the chair in the room, but Tia was nowhere to be seen; only the sound of water coming from the direction of the bathroom could be heard.

"Hehe... This is what they call being lucky enough to arrive rather than arriving early."

Valensa laughed excitedly twice, then quickly took off her top and skirt, turning her divine particle armor into a necklace and completely concealing her artifact cloak. Wearing only black stockings, she quietly slipped into the bathroom.

"Hmm, judging by the time, you should be here soon."

Tia showed no surprise at Valensa's arrival. She turned her back to Valensa, sat down on the small wooden stool, and tucked all her silver hair behind her ears.

"Come on, wash my hair first, then apply shower gel."

"okay."

Valensa, of course, wouldn't refuse. Standing behind Tia, she cupped the incredibly smooth, beautiful silver hair in her hands, kissed it a few times with great relish, and then began to wash it skillfully.

Tia then increased the output power of the water-attribute magic crystal in the bathroom, allowing Valensa to wash her own body while washing her hair.

When washing Tia's hair, Valensa was quite well-behaved and basically washed her hair seriously.

But when she was applying shower gel, she started getting creative.

Valensa sprayed the shower gel, which was supposed to be rubbed in her palms and then applied to Tia, on herself instead, especially on her front body and her legs covered in black stockings.

"What...what are you trying to do?"

Tia seemed to have guessed Valensa's plan and pretended to be angry as she rebuked her:

"This is a military camp... You're not allowed to do anything reckless! Sneaking in to take a bath is one thing, but doing anything shameless is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Don't worry, don't worry... I, Valensa, am so disciplined in the military, how could I do anything shameless? What I'm about to do are all serious matters~~"

Valensa giggled and hugged Tia from behind, their bodies pressed together, her legs, covered in shower gel and black stockings, slung forward and hooked together.

"Officer, you must be exhausted after a long day. Why don't you take a good rest? I'll give you a very relaxing shower gel treatment... In Wei's world, this is a very popular service called a spa."

"...Spa?"

Tia didn't refuse, squinting her eyes as she leaned comfortably against Valensa, but her tone suddenly became somewhat amused, and she placed one hand on Valensa's leg, gathering her strength through the black stockings, ready to pinch her hard at any moment:

"So every time you went there to do business with Wei, did you enjoy this spa? The girls who provided you with services must have amazing figures and skin, right? And they were always wearing your favorite black stockings?"

"how can that be possible?"

Valensa quickly blew gently into Tia's ear again:

"The aesthetics of that world are weird, and many people are covered in metal prosthetics. Their figures and skin can't compare to yours, Tia! I got a spa treatment there, partly because I couldn't refuse Vi's kind offer, and partly because I wanted to learn how to do it so you could feel good too... How was it? Was it comfortable?"

"Hmph... You're all talk and no action."

Tia gave a coquettish hum and then fell silent, focusing on enjoying Valensa's service.

When the two finally finished showering and left the bathroom, Tia was too lazy to move a single finger and was carried to the bed by Valensa.

"Then you get some rest, darling. I'm going to continue my patrol."

Valensa tucked Tia in, kissed her on the cheek, and then left through the window.
