Chapter 191: Olm Fortress’s Division and Gradual Fall (Part 2)

After Steinbeck Fief crossed the river, Olm Fortress’s forces fragmented. Clyde’s side that had captured Sieg Pier forcibly occupied the eastern part of Olm Fortress.

After their chief commander Earl Winissa went missing, Olm Fortress’s defending troops became a host of dragons without a head and split into three groups, each occupying the other three directions of the Olm Fortress. Over 10,000 soldiers still loyal to Earl Winissa controlled Olm Fortress’s western side. Under the command of Winissa’s housekeeper Norma, they defended Ord Castle, which was also the final blockade to advance to the center of the Needham Plains. There would be no natural defenses past it as the terrain was a flat plain.

In the southern area of Olm Fortress, Viscount Carlisle commanded over 10,000 soldiers with Osi Castle as their stronghold. This fellow had been arranged by Marquis Charles to specially monitor Earl Winissa’s every action. Facing Clyde’s offense, that fellow had no intention to fight nor did he dispatch any troops to assist Norma. He only wanted to preserve his strength while looking for an opportunity to run away and hand these over 10,000 soldiers to Marquis Charles.

The northern area of Olm Fortress had over 10,000 soldiers under the command of Baron Burke who controlled Otto Fortress. This person was even more amazing. He planned to cooperate with Clyde and had secretly sent an envoy to discuss it. To obtain Clyde’s assistance in seizing Earl Winissa’s fief and peerage, Baron Burke promised to cede cities and towns to Steinbeck Fief, exchanging land and wealth for assistance. Since both sides belonged to Adrian Empire, although this kind of political cooperation looked morally dirty, it didn’t violate the empire’s laws. It wouldn’t be regarded as an act of treason. Many local aristocrats had done this before either overtly or secretly. This kind of deal was already an open secret among the local aristocrats.

Clyde took no action and temporarily didn’t agree to Baron Burke’s alliance proposal since he didn’t believe that that baron would sincerely cooperate. Now, Steinbeck Fief had already passed its financial crisis, so he wasn’t very interested in the Baron’s gifts.

Clyde planned to incorporate those over 30,000 troops of Earl Winissa’s. It would be best to deal with Norma’s 10,000 troops first. As long as Earl Winissa was still in his hands, she wouldn’t easily abandon her lord and flee. In any case, Norma was a close girlfriend of Earl Winissa who had followed her many years. She would definitely plan to save the Earl.

However, it was hard to predict Viscount Carlisle and Baron Burke. These two regarded their personal interests first, so Clyde didn’t immediately dispatch troops to attack them in fear that these fellows would immediately run away with their troops. At that time, it would be quite troublesome. If he chose to pursue them, Marquis Charles would have enough time to set up even more defense fortifications, but if he didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to rest at ease. When fighting a decisive battle against Marquis Charles, a wandering hostile army to the rear would be a hidden trouble. If Viscount Carlisle or Baron Burke were “stung by conscience” and launched an attack from the rear to assist Marquis Charles, Steinbeck Fief’s troops would fall into a passive state.

At this moment, Clyde was in his temporary residence at Sieg Pier’s secret bedroom, briefly enjoying himself before the war. He examined the blushing, silver-haired beauty in his bosom. Earl Winissa’s usual unflappable pride had been wiped out. She had a shy expression, and her fair skin had a red luster. Clyde could hear that this silver-haired beauty was breathing rather heavily. After all, they were in a primitive and open state, and she had never experienced this kind of thing, so she was easily overwhelmed.

“Miss Winissa, your face is so red! It seems you are feeling hot, so don’t wear anything the next few days! Just remain in this state.”

“You... you are a devil! How can you treat a lady like... like this... Wu... Wu!”

Winissa attempted to argue, but her lips were sealed by the other party’s. Just when she was about to suffocate, Clyde reluctantly released those alluring lips. After the forceful kiss, Winissa’s face reddened even further. Since her first kiss had been robbed like this, although the other party was a handsome young man, she truly felt she had lost out! However, Clyde had never been a reasonable person.

“Winissa, how about it? As long as you say the word, Norma’s soldiers will surrender. As for Carlisle and Burke, I will find a way to eliminate them.”

“Norma, Norma is my friend! I can’t make her surrender Ord Castle! Like that, Marquis Charles... wu, why again! No...”

Under Clyde’s forceful kisses, Winissa’s face became redder and hotter. Finally, she relented. What made her uneasy was that for an unknown reason, she began to enjoy being forcefully kissed. She stopped resisting as fiercely as she the first time; her resistance grew half-hearted.

After bathing her, Clyde princess-carried her to his bed. She was still bound with now wet rope, so she had no way to resist. She could only let him do whatever he wanted. In the secret bedroom, another silvered-beauty was imprisoned. She was Winissa’s mount, the human form unicorn Zhenni.

Both Zhenni and Winissa were silver-haired beauties. The most obvious difference between them was that the master had pink pupils while the mount had silvery pupils. Their figures were also very similar. When a unicorn transformed into its human form, most would use their master as a reference, and Zhenni had obviously used Winissa’s appearance for this. Not looking at their pupils and only on the basis of a rear view, many people would mistake them for biological sisters.

The unicorn was a symbol of pureness, and Zhenni similarly had pure temperament. Her holy attribute far exceeded that of the Light Church saintesses Clyde had met. The holy attribute of a human saintess had limits and couldn’t compare to many other races. When Clyde entered this room, Zhenni maintained a rather ambiguous and wicked posture, like an artwork fixed to the floor.

Zhenni’s complexion was red, and her mouth sealed. Upon seeing Clyde carrying her master, she glared at Clyde in shame and anger. Even if she wanted to resist, her limbs were bound. Although unicorns’ combat power was high, they were not the opponent of a high-level dark existence. Moreover, her combat power was limited to her beast state. In her human form, she was no different from an ordinary human woman. Therefore, other than when alone with the person they trusted the most, unicorns wouldn’t easily transform into their weak human forms.

“You... What did you do to Zhenni? Didn’t you say you would let her go...”

“Winissa, you are misunderstanding. This is her treatment. Those are healing potions. Your mount was too stubborn. Not seeing her master, she desperately resisted. I could only ask them to treat her in a suitable way. By the way, I heard that after a unicorn transforms into a human, she won’t be much different from a human. Is that right?”

“You... you... if you need it, you can come to me. Don’t hurt Zhenni! My mount is innocent!”

According to Clyde’s explanation, during the battle between Earl Winissa and Dragon Knight Princess Verly, following their colliding “knight charge,” her mount unicorn Zhenni had borne most of the damage and required treatment with healing potions. This reasoning was fine, but the method was too wicked. Just feeding her would have been fine, but that unicorn hadn’t cooperated in the beginning, so they had used this shameful posture to force her.

Originally, Winissa had wanted to thank Clyde, but after hearing Clyde’s words and seeing how his wicked gaze wantonly explored her mount’s body, she was so scared that she directly begged for mercy. Once its pure and holy attributes were lost, a unicorn would lose its power.

“Then, what do you think about persuading Norma to surrender? I don’t need you to answer me right now, Winissa. After all, I’m not a devil. I will give you some time to consider!”

“I...”

Winissa was caught in a dilemma. Clyde was not in a hurry to make her declare her position. He placed the Earl on a sofa not far away, so that she was facing him. She would be able to see him interact with her mount. Winissa, who was bound with a red rope, could only look at this wicked situation while quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

Clyde wasn’t actually giving Winissa much time to think; he wanted a quick decision. If the other party pondered for a long time, her decision might be different. The best choice was to make a surprise attack when Winissa had not yet calmed down. As long as she let down her guard a first time, there would be the second time, third time, and eventually, an innumerable number of times. She wouldn’t hesitate any longer.

“Winissa, don’t listen to this bad... Wu...”

“Truly a disobedient mount! It seems that your previous treatment was not enough, and this is needed.”

“That... that is...”

Clyde smirked and opened a nearby table’s drawer that contained several syringe-like tools. Although Zhenni had never seen such tools, she could guess their usage. She could also feel the other party’s wicked gaze that hovered around her few sensitive places. Clyde filled the injection potion and gently caressed her elastic butt. Zhenni was so scared that she trembled, but she couldn’t struggle free from her restraints. She was so anxious that she nearly begged for mercy.

“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine. What’s wrong? Are you afraid? It’s not painful.”

“I’m not... not afraid! I... I’m confident that you are weird. Your mind is very; stop! Don’t... don’t hit there!”

“This is a human treatment method! You can choose where to get your injection!”

Facing that shiny needle, the unicorn Zhenni was greatly frightened. She barely maintained a brave face while Clyde prepared to inject the unicorn.

“No... don’t! Forgive me! Didn’t you say that I could choose?”

“Too late! The time for choosing has already passed, so I helped you choose.”

“How can this? Wait! No... no...”

“Please stop; I... I agree to your request! Don’t... don’t make things difficult for her!”
