The Kerklav Swordsman Academy, located within Austin City - a key city in the south, inside the Gabriel Empire’s territory, at the southern region of the Coristel Human Continent. The academy was now completely under Bella’s control as the Principal, most of the teachers, as well as the majority of the male students, had been led to the empire’s capital under false pretenses. The female teachers who had remained behind were defeated by the Dark Church’s goddess.

After Bella had redirected the returning elite male students to guard the perimeter of the academy, she took up the role as “interim Principal” of Kerklav Academy. Now, she could mate with any girl in the academy. This was a more insane treatment than when she was at Olsylvia Academy as she could do whatever she wanted without any other considerations.

The student union president of the academy, Princess Kliveny, and Vice-President Emily, who held the highest level of authority among the students, were already under Bella’s control. This meant that Bella could truly go rogue as Austin City was already under Sarnia Duchy’s control, so there was no one left to stop her. This was one of the benefits of war as it made things convenient for “opportunists” such as Bella to take full advantage of the chaos.

On a balcony hidden within the depths of the academy, Bella’s erotic sunshine treatment was still ongoing. Under her practiced “tongue skills”, the two inexperienced princesses, Karin and Krylo, were no match for Bella the “demoness”. The princesses quickly became delirious from being licked and did not even notice when Bella took the chance to kiss them on the lips, stealing their first kisses. In fact, they had even used their own tongues to receive Bella’s.

“Princess Karin, your mouth smells of flowers - how delectable.”

“Wuu… Grand Duchess Bella, when did you…stop kissing me, don’t…”

“How dishonest. Look at the little princess, she’s much more honest!”

The loli, Princess Krylo, was already intoxicated by the strange sensations. Although she felt shy, she felt a strange sense of comfort as well. When Bella placed her hand by her lips, the little loli obediently parted her lips to take Bella’s fingers into her mouth. She then began to suckle gently, like a pet that was eager to please her mistress.

Karin looked around helplessly at her surroundings. Her three other sisters had already fallen and was currently looking at her with a weird look in their eyes. It was almost as though they were blaming her for not joining them. Bella took advantage of the moment and pinched the sensitive nub on Karin’s chest. She then moved her face as close as she could to Princess Karin’s face, till they were almost cheek to cheek.

“Princess Rin, I’ll give you another chance. Join us voluntarily - otherwise, I will ask your three sisters to punish you, just like how I bullied you when I pinned you down on the bed.”

“Bella, what is the point of this? I cannot do anything to betray the empire… wait, fine, I agree!”

Before Karin could finish her sentence, she saw that Bella was going to press her face against hers and finally admitted defeat. Right now, she did not even have the courage to make eye contact with Bella. The ever determined Princess Karin, who had been a staunch practitioner of swordsmanship, never thought that she would see the day when she would fully submit to someone else. Furthermore, she had never expected that the person whom she submitted to was a woman, just like her.

“That’s a good girl. Alright, you sisters have a little intimate time to yourselves. I shall not intrude any further.”

“What, didn’t you say, Big Sister, please don’t do that. I just…wuuu.”

Bella got up and left, not intending to disturb the four royal sisters who were sharing an intimate moment. At that moment, Kriss appeared in front of her and gently helped her to change, just like a wife. Other than a slight flush across her cheeks, Kriss did not show any other indication of embarrassment. This was most likely because she had spent enough time around Bella and had seen her fair share of such scenes, which meant that she would not react too much.

“Kriss, why didn’t you join us earlier? Your sisters are all here, you’re the only one left.”

“You’re annoying! Bella, you’re so naughty. You actually wanted to… I don’t enjoy being with too many people.”

“Kriss, does this mean that when it’s just the two of us, we can… hey, Kriss, don’t be so eager to leave. You haven’t given me an answer.”

Kriss’ face was now completely red and she picked up her pace. For now, there was no way Bella could find out what the answer to that question was. By the time Bella caught up with Princess Kriss, she had already shifted into her dark original form.

“Krysan, what are you doing out here? Where’s my Kriss?”

“Bella, your Kriss is so embarrassed that she’s hiding inside her inner world. Also, what do you mean by yours? Am I not yours too?”

“Y…yes, you definitely are. Let us walk and talk!”

Bella followed dark Kriss and returned to Kerklav Academy’s student union office, which was now Bella’s temporary command center. Two of her most trusted female subordinates, the Succubus Queen Aisha and the Demon Empress Samith, had been waiting there for quite some time. The lolis - the Demon God Angel and Evil God Mia, were still having fun roaming the streets of Austin City and have not arrived at Kerklav Academy yet.

Other than Bella and the few dark bosses, the beautiful female teachers of Kerklav Academy were inside the conference room as well. After they were released, Bella had handed them over to the Succubus Queen Aisha for some “special care”. Using her exceptional skills, she managed to train these proud swordswomen teachers into subservient slaves in the short amount of time before Bella’s arrival.

These beautiful swordswomen were fully naked as they acted as waitresses and carried plates around the conference room. The moment Bella and the others took their seats, two beautiful girls immediately dropped to their knees and began to help Bella massage her feet while another girl rubbed her shoulders. Bella looked extremely pleased with herself as she took in the “voluptuous” view in front of her. She could not find a single mark on the beautiful swordswomen’s creamy white skin as she wondered what methods Aisha had used to train those girls into submission within such a short period of time.

Krysan and the Demon Empress Samith did not say anything as they enjoyed the slaves’ services in silence. As these two did not bully girls often, it was not obvious that they were actually secret S. Judging by the naturally relaxed expression on their faces, it was clear that this was not the first time that they were experiencing something like this.

There were no signs of resentment or resistance in the beautiful swordwomens’ eyes as they did everything with a natural ease. It was as though they had been born to be slaves. They wore special silver necklaces around their necks with a unique tag attached to it that was a constant reminder to outsiders that they were the female teachers of Kerklav Academy’s Swordsman faculty. Taking in the sight in front of her, Bella was beginning to suspect that the Succubus Queen Aisha knew some form of psychological magic that could brainwash and hypnotize others.

“Aisha, how did you do it? These were the elite female teachers of the academy! Could it be that they were brainwashed and hypnotized?”

“Mistress Bella, this is a business secret. However, if you were to give me an order, I would have no choice but to answer your question. After all, no pretty girl would be able to resist such joy - regardless of race.”

The Succubus Queen Aisha quickly disproved Bella’s guess. She actually knew how to cast hypnosis magic. However, she did not use it casually. Furthermore, she did not need to use such means on her prey so far. When Bella noticed that Aisha was unwilling to reveal her secret, she did not pry any further.

At this moment, the Gabriel Empire was in a rather chaotic situation. In fact, they were worse off than the Manasvir Empire was. The main reason was that geographically speaking, most of the Manasvir Empire was extremely urbanized and was made up of flatland cities. This meant that it was difficult to set up an ambush.

On the other hand, the Gabriel Empire had many forested areas with many demonic beasts, which made it extremely easy to set up an ambush. Once the empire descended into chaos, various powers had begun to plant their troops in ambush along the way. By now, the roads leading to the empire’s capital were now an extremely dangerous “highway to hell”. Among the various entities that were attempting to steal Emperor Alfred the Third’s throne, there were many of them that wanted to prevent the princesses from returning to the imperial city as well.

Those powers had already set up their ambush along the various paths that led to the empire. Unlike the Aldridge Empire in the eastern part of the Human continent, the cities and towns of the Gabriel Empire did not have any of the expensive magical teleportation arrays for intercity travel. Instead, visitors could only enter the city through official channels on foot or by carriage.

The Gabriel Empire had always looked down on knights. As this was an empire where it was the norm to become a swordsman, steeds were an extremely scarce resource. Even warhorses were extremely rare, let alone flying type demonic beasts. In order not to attract any unnecessary attention, after discussing with her trusted demonic subordinates, Bella decided to head towards the empire’s capital in disguise. She had also abandoned the plan to summon the Dragon princesses to carry Kriss and the other princesses into the empire’s capital in an ostentatious manner.

This was a secret mission and Bella did not bring too many people along with her. This time, she was accompanied by four terrifying lolis who were extremely powerful World Destructors and Chaos Bringers - the Demon God Angel, the Evil God Mia, the Dimensional Demon Noesha, and the Poison Origin Betty. Kriss and the other “Five Royal Swordmaidens”. They were all she needed. It did not matter if she brought the remaining subordinates along as she could simply summon more if she wanted to.

The Succubus Queen Aisha and the Demon Empress Samith remained behind to guard Austin City. Samith was responsible for secretly controlling the troops from the Sarnia Duchy while Aisha would “manage” the girls from Kerklav Academy. Bella had no idea if Aisha would turn this place into a “lily academy”. The next day, Bella and the others got up at dawn, changed into grey cloaks, and began to make their way towards the empire’s capital.

There were many different routes that led towards the capital. As using the official route was way too obvious, Bella and the others decided to take the mountainous route. They would have to cut through the forests and make several detours within the jungle before they would arrive at the capital. The team was not only made up of Bella, Angel, and the other few out-of-the-ordinary entities, the five princesses of the Gabriel Empire’s royal family - the “Five Royal Swordmaidens”, were there as well.

Other than Kriss, Bella had already pushed the other princesses. This meant that no one raised any objections when Bella declared herself as the team leader. This odd team, consisting of ten girls, quickly commenced their journey through the jungle at the central region of the Gabriel Empire.

Bella did not really expect princesses of such noble status to walk that far. After all, they were of the Swordsmen profession. Even Knights would not be able to walk that far without steeds, let alone these Swordsmen! Bella immediately summoned more than a dozen demonic beings - the Chocobo. These bird type demonic beasts with green feathers, looked similar to the ostrich. Although they were practically useless in combat, they had incredible stamina and could carry passengers freely around the jungle.

Each of them had their own Chocobo as they moved within the depths of the jungle. According to the map, they had planned to first arrive at the transfer city - Brusk City. There, they would act as mercenaries to search for a mission that would take them into the capital. Afterwards, they would use their disguise to infiltrate the place within the capital. As the situation was far too chaotic, Bella could not guarantee that other than the palace, the other places were still under the Emperor’s control.

Brusk City was named in memoriam of the great adventurer, Brusk. He was a legendary demonic beast hunter, who was said to have hunted many infamous demonic beasts - including Dragons. Unfortunately, the later generations of demonic beast hunters did not live up to the glory of their ancestors. The depths of this jungle was an utopia of demonic beasts. Back then, they were the ones who had been chased back into the jungle by the hunters. Now, they were back in full force.

Even though they were on the outskirts of the jungle, Bella and her team were attacked by large demonic beasts. As the number of demonic beast hunters had significantly decreased over the years, the demonic beasts had become so bold as to attack passers-by within the Human Continent. This meant that many routes had become extremely unsafe. These demonic beings were very sly, and specifically targeted smaller groups of Humans. When faced with large mercenary groups and other organizations, they would hide.

Bella’s team only consisted of ten people, and they were all female. At first glance, one would assume they were all weaklings. The moment they stepped into the jungle, they found that their path was blocked by two demonic beasts. One of them, the “Black Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger”, was black from head to toe, while the other was a two meter tall “Horror Bird”, which looked like a giant parrot. Both A+ Grade demonic beasts were physical types and were well-known for their vicious nature.

“Pfft, I thought that there was something better standing in our way. It’s just a stupid bird and a black cat. Sadly, none of you taste good. How disappointing.”

Bella, who was at the front of the group, jumped off her Chocobo. When Princess Kliveny and the other princess wanted to follow her lead, she raised her hand to stop them. She was enough. The “Black Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger” was the first to charge towards her when it saw Bella dismount. It used its ability to move extremely quickly so that it could be the first to sink its teeth into Bella and kill her.

Bella took a step back and the Black Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger missed its mark. Taking advantage of the momentary lapse in attacks, Bella smashed her arm into its head and it instantly exploded. Its bones shattered and its massive body fell to the ground with a resounding thud, sending clouds of dust into the air.

“Thinking of leaving? Too late!”

Bella ripped off the Black Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger’s tooth and threw it like a javelin. As she was extremely strong, the tooth was basically a bullet. The Horror Bird saw that the situation was not going well, it immediately tried to escape. Instead, the Black Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger’s tooth shot through its skull and the Horror Bird fell dead on the ground. Within a minute, Bella had managed to kill two A+ Grade demonic beasts.

This battle deterred the other demonic beasts that had been secretly observing from within the jungle. They were so terrified that they immediately scattered. Any Human who could instantly take out A+ Grade demonic beasts was definitely powerful enough to go one on one with an S-Grade demonic beast. As the small fry of the demonic beasts, they definitely could not afford to offend anyone like that. After collecting the demonic cores and other ingredients from the demonic beasts’ corpses, Bella replaced the original cores with black demonic cores. She then chanted a string of strange Demon King incantations which resurrected a mutated version of those demonic beasts.

The Black Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger transformed into an S+ Grade demonic being - the Dark Saber-Toothed Tiger, which emanated black colored dark flames from its body. The Horror Bird transformed into the Hell Iron-Beaked Bird. It’s originally green feathers were now crimson red. After the battle, Bella did not feel like taking action herself and she simply summoned these two demonized demonic beasts to do the dirty work for her.

“Get rid of anything and everything that’s in our way. The demonic cores are yours. Now go!”

Excitedly, the two demonized demonic beasts dived into the jungle to pave the way for Bella and the others. For the next two days of the journey, Bella and the others barely got off the Chocobo as they rushed night and day to get to Brusk City. The demonic beasts along the way all died horribly at the hands of those two demonized demonic beasts. With their combined attacks, even S Grade demonic beasts did not stand a chance against them. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

Along the official routes, Bella and the others saw many imperial soldiers who were patrolling the area. These were all soldiers who had ripped off their armbands to prevent others from knowing which side they were on. As Bella could not tell if they were friend or foe, she had no choice but to continue to move through the jungle and ignore those imperial troops. As the Chocobo moved swifty, they arrived at their destination in less than three days. If Bella and the others had been on warhorses, they would have at least taken a week.

The security around Brusk City was extremely lax. This city was one of the famous three no-man’s land - also known as “free cities”. They did not even have a city lord or a group of city guards. The order within the city was dependent on the mercenary group stationed there and the Mercenary Union was responsible for overseeing the area. As this city was a melting pot of all sorts of characters, Bella and the others did not have any difficulty entering the unguarded city at all.

“Stop right there, the few of you… mmm, you may pass!”

“How generous, you should visit more often!”

The temporary guards stationed the city gates were representatives from the various mercenary groups that were on rotation. This meant that discipline was basically non-existent. Technically, each person entering the city needed to go through a simple search to prevent bandits and other dangerous criminals from entering the city. However, as long as you had the money to bribe the guards on duty, you could pass easily - which was the case for Bella’s group as she slipped each guard a gold coin.

“Mister Mercenary, do you know where the Mercenary Union in this city is? We want to go to the capital and we hope to employ a suitable mercenary group.”

“Little Miss, I’m busy doing checks, I don’t know… eh, I suddenly remembered something.”

Bella pressed another gold coin into the guard’s hand and he quickly made another “exception” and secretly told Bella where the union was located. However, he looked a little stiff when he mentioned the Mercenary Union.
