Chapter 240 Take a Breath

Upon hearing the order, the subordinates looked embarrassed, "Sir, all the men have been sent out, and there are many nobles who rely on the royal family. We don't have any extra manpower."

Hearing this, Yuli became even angrier and yelled, "Useless! All of you are just a bunch of useless!"

Yuli knew that the royal family had a strong foundation, otherwise she would not have planned for so many years and would not have dared to take action until Lemansa died.

All her males were sent to the battlefield. If she had had someone like Charles by her side, or a few more level nine orcs, the battle would have been over in one day.

However, there are many males around her. Except for Kang Heer, there are only two people with level nine strength, and among them, Awen was sent as an undercover agent.

On the other hand, the number of level nine orcs around Lemantha is several times more than hers.

Yuli thought bitterly that the shameless Lemantha relied on her power as queen to gather all the outstanding males around her. How despicable and shameless!

When he was about to contact Kang Heer, a subordinate reported that Kang Heer had arrived.

As soon as she saw the people, Yuli couldn't help asking: "Where have you been just now? If you were here, our people wouldn't have been beaten back!"

Facing the accusation, Kang Heer was not angry or annoyed, and said kindly: "Don't be angry, dear. No matter how strong I am, I can't defeat thousands of troops. We need to make a new plan."

"Tell your men to withdraw. We have been fighting for more than ten hours. It's time to let the soldiers rest."

Yuli said angrily: "Rest? How can we rest now? If we don't press on and pursue them, do we have to wait until the royal family recovers and then catch us all in one fell swoop?!"

Kang Heer shook his head. "Of course not, dear, don't be angry. Listen to me. I have accumulated some connections in Mirage City over the years, so it should be no problem to gather some people. I have already transferred some people here, and they are on the way. As soon as tomorrow comes, we will attack with all our strength and try to capture the palace in one day."

Yuli asked doubtfully, "How many men can you muster? Do you know how many soldiers the royal family has?"

Kang Heer smiled confidently and said, "It's probably one-third of your number. But these are all elite orcs. Even if we give the royal family one night, they won't be able to gather so many. I have 90% confidence that I can defeat them tomorrow!"

“So many?!” Yuli was surprised.

The look in Kang Heer's eyes changed.

Kang Heer chuckled and said, "My dear, I knew that this day would come. I have used all the money you gave me every year to recruit orcs."

"It finally came in handy today."

"So you already had a plan... Why didn't you tell me in advance? I would have given you more funds. You must have contributed a lot over the years." Yuli couldn't help but be moved. She secretly made a decision in her heart that after she became queen, she would make Kangheer her beastly husband, with the same status as Charles.

Kang Heer said with deep affection: "In my heart, you are the most important. As long as it is what you want, I will definitely help you get it."

"...Kangheer, I love you." The male's sweet words made Yuli unable to help but throw herself into his arms and kiss him passionately.

Under the gazes of many people, the two of them kissed passionately.

After the kiss, Yuli ordered a retreat, and those who needed to heal their wounds should recuperate and conserve their energy for tomorrow's event, which was the main event.

Once Yuli's men retreated, the royal family could finally breathe a sigh of relief. When Lemande was about to call a meeting of the core members of the royal family, Qiu came back.

And brought back unacceptable news.

"What! Ran Ran was taken away by Kang Heer?!"

"What are we waiting for? Let's go rescue them right away!" Lemand's face was gloomy. He immediately gathered people and prepared to rush into Yuli's territory.

Mond hurriedly stopped them, "Uncle, don't be impulsive. If you go to rescue people at this time, you may fall into Yuli's trap. Yuli's place must be heavily guarded. Our people have been fighting for such a long time and their bodies are already exhausted. We must calm down and think of a solution carefully!"

"Ran Ran is my partner, and she is pregnant. If she falls into Yu Li's hands, I can't imagine what Yu Li will do to her!"

The more Lemand thought about it, the more he couldn't calm down. He had already lost his sister and couldn't lose his partner again.

"No, I have to go save people!"

As he was about to summon the army, Mond couldn't help but emphasize his tone: "Lemande, you can't go now. My mother is dead. Do you know how serious the consequences of your impulsiveness will be?"

"Kang Heer is stronger than you. Maybe you can't save Mu Ran, and it's very likely that you can't even come back. My father's whereabouts are still unknown. If something happens to you, then the royal family might as well surrender!"

The sudden change and more than ten hours of fighting had already made Mond physically and mentally exhausted. He finally had a chance to catch his breath and wanted to go see his mother's body, but unexpectedly this kind of thing happened again. He also wanted to save people. Mu Ran was too important!
But now is not the time to act on impulse, we must consider the overall situation.

Lemande's face was so gloomy that it was unbearable to look at. "Mu Ran is my partner. If something happens to her, I..."

Mond interrupted him, "No, Kang Heer is Mu Ran's biological father. He will definitely not embarrass Mu Ran for the time being."

"Qiu, what did Kang Heer say when he intercepted you? What was his purpose in taking Mu Ran away?"

Qiu said in a deep voice: "He expressed his intention yesterday. I guess this is the reason why Ranran can grow purification fruits."

Mond nodded and analyzed: "If this is the purpose, then we have time to think of a countermeasure. Mu Ran is the only one in the entire empire who can grow purification fruits. Regardless of the considerations, Kang Heer and Yuli will not touch her."

"The most urgent thing now is that we should quickly make the news of our mother's murder public. Yuli will not give up. We don't know how long this battle will last. We must recruit more soldiers."

Lemand frowned, "It's too late to recruit soldiers now. If it's just Yuli, I don't think the threat is big, but Kang Heer is a little unsure."

"His strength is beyond my expectation. He is not weaker than your father. The problem is that he also has a group of orcs under his command. All of them are elites. We don't know how many such elites he has. It's not a big deal if there are fewer, but I'm afraid..."

"Mond, you guys are living too comfortable. Kangheer is just a duke in name only, but you made him grow up." Lemand was very disappointed with them.

Mond also smiled bitterly, "Who knew he would collude with Yuli? The location of Mirage City is so remote and there are no resources. Isn't this negligence?"

"But it's too late to say anything now, let's solve the current problem first."
