Chapter 593
Expand the army now, and then wait to see the internal strife within Altaïr.
For the next period of time, Niu Zida stopped allowing Joel, Misato Shizuku, Asuna, Kuroyukihime, Yangyang, and Rosalia to join the ranks of those who would reproduce, in order to ensure their attack frequency. He wanted to further fuel the internal retreat problem of Altaïr...
Chapter 411 Altaïr's Withdrawal
Chapter 411.
Under the frequent harassment of the maids sent by Niu Zida, the logistics of Altaic's army began to be strained again. This time, unlike before, the nobles in Altaic's army began to blame each other, either blaming their colleagues for not cooperating well, or saying that the other side deserted in the face of battle. Some people deliberately shirked responsibility. In short, under such harassment tactics, the Altaic army, which was already unwilling to fight, became even more demoralized.
Under these circumstances, it was already early March, and spring planting was about to begin. The Altaïr House of Nobility finally succumbed to the pressure from some of the powerful nobles within the House and passed the order to withdraw the troops through a collective vote. This finally gave Tandret political security, allowing him to decide to lead his troops to retreat and end this fruitless campaign.
Even so, Tandret wanted to gain some political advantage before leaving so he could have an explanation when he returned home. So he sent an envoy to Niu Zida's camp, hoping that Heatherlink would publicly apologize and pay reparations. He thought that once he got the agreement, he would have an explanation when he returned home. The amount of reparations was not large, only about 1 gold coins, which Heatherlink could easily afford. Charlotte thought it would be fine to just agree to it, but Niu Zida firmly disagreed, saying that he had no money and that war was the only option.
Upon hearing the news, Tandret was furious and cursed Niu Zida as a miser who wouldn't even back down. He decided to teach Niu Zida a lesson before leaving and organized a final surprise attack to inflict a painful blow and at least obtain a symbolic compensation to report back. However, everyone in Altaïr already knew about the ceasefire and no one wanted to contribute. After all, everyone could see that this was a war fought for Tandret's personal political future, and the compensation wouldn't even cover the losses. Who would want to work on something so thankless?
As a result, many nobles made excuses, claiming that their troops had suffered heavy losses and were unable to come out and cooperate. In the end, apart from a few nobles who were relatively close to Tandret, most of the nobles in the Altaic army adopted a wait-and-see attitude, which greatly annoyed Tandret. This reminded him of the difficult predicament that Niu Zida had faced when he watched the human nobles play a game.
Even so, relying solely on his own men, Tandret was still able to organize a considerable offensive. Moreover, he still held control of Altaïr's standing army, which was the main force of the assault. Therefore, Tandret disregarded the statements of other nobles and simply led his conscripts and standing army, using the last remaining logistical supplies, to organize an offensive of about seven or eight thousand men.
Niu Zida hadn't expected that Tandret would launch an attack so stubbornly. At the very beginning of the battle, many of the goblins that came into contact with the front line were instantly killed in a surprise attack, creating a gap. Niu Zida quickly ordered powerful maids such as Asuna, Kuroyukihime, Yangyang, Misato Shizuku, and Suriya to personally fill the gap. Although he knew it was dangerous, it was a critical situation after all.
Charlotte also rallied her knights to help. If it were a few months before the war, these knights might not have been willing to face the powerful Altaïr army. However, after two or three months of stalemate, they saw that the Altaïr army was not as terrifying as they had imagined. In particular, the massacre of the village and the burning of the camp a few days ago gave them the desire and courage to fight the Altaïr army. Under Charlotte's orders, they rushed to help and even organized a counterattack, cutting off the Altaïr army's retreat route that had broken into the breach.
This counterattack resulted in the dozens of Altaïr regular troops who had entered the breach becoming surrounded. Goblins from all sides rushed in and quickly wiped them out. When Tandret organized another attack, Niu Zida simply ordered the goblin thunder elemental shaman to repel them with magic. Even this powerful move, which could only be used once a week, was used because Niu Zida realized that the enemy's attack was definitely a battle to negotiate a ceasefire. Therefore, the more political the battle, the more important it was not to lose, and not to give Altaïr any opportunity to blackmail them.
After a day of fruitless fighting, Altaïr's army retreated, leaving behind hundreds of corpses. This was the largest direct conflict between the two sides in the past month. Although Niu Zida's goblins suffered four or five hundred casualties, after treatment, the number of direct deaths was less than two hundred. This casualty ratio was the best in all the battles so far. It seems that after a long battle and Niu Zida's initial military reforms, the combat strength of his goblin army has improved considerably.
After this great battle, Tandret completely lost his spirit and no longer cared about continuing to threaten. Seeing that the battle had been fruitless, the other nobles demanded an immediate withdrawal. This time, Tandret dared not insist and could only agree sheepishly, leading his troops to withdraw within three days. He also stopped negotiating with Heatherlink about reparations and apologies.
Niu Zida continued to use the spring snow to intensify reconnaissance during this time, while also sending his maids on night raids to capture prisoners from the enemy and interrogate them to obtain intelligence. After learning that Altaïr's army was about to withdraw, Niu Zida did not make a big fuss, but quietly prepared several enhanced goblin priests and a batch of goblins.
Chapter 594
At the same time, Charlotte's relatives and knights were also put under his command. After a series of recent victories, these knights were happy to obey Niu Zida's orders and no longer hesitated as they had at the beginning of the war. After all, the best leadership is to win battles continuously, and a team that suffers repeated defeats will always have various problems.
Three days later, as expected, Altaic's army began to retreat. Of course, the retreat was not a mass exodus, especially since Altaic's army was the strongest army on the Western Continent. When retreating, the conscripts left first, followed by the well-trained regular army and Tandret's own conscripts who stayed behind to cover the rear. Moreover, the army retreated in stages, and the enemy even strengthened the defenses of the camps facing each other at the front, so that the enemy would not easily find an opportunity.
Niu Zida wasn't in a hurry. He waited another day. On the second day, Tandret's troops also began to withdraw. Seeing that the enemy had been reduced significantly, Niu Zida began to use the Goblin Priest Enhancement to grow a group of goblins as the vanguard and launched a full-scale attack on Altaïr's position.
Although Altaïr's army was on alert, they did not believe that the Heatherlink army, especially the goblins, which they had been suppressing, would launch an attack. After all, the enemy had not launched a single frontal attack on their camp throughout the entire winter campaign.
However, the Altaïr army left behind consisted of well-trained standing troops. Although their numbers were small, only two or three hundred men, Altaïr did not panic in the face of the giant goblin charge. He used all available firepower to concentrate on dealing with the tall giant goblins, preventing them from dismantling the barricades, antlers, fences, and other obstacles in front of the camp. As for the smaller goblins, it didn't matter if they came in. Their individual combat strength was far inferior to that of humans. Even if a dozen or so came in, two or three human warriors could easily deal with them.
As expected, under Altaic's steady and methodical tactics, the goblin army's charge did not achieve much success. Although it seemed that many fortifications had been dismantled, the casualties were still too great. The front of Altaic's army was filled with the corpses of goblins, numbering about three or four hundred. As the sun gradually set, the Altaic army left behind, seeing the enemy's heavy casualties and the decline in their offensive, slowly relaxed and quickly packed up their things to prepare for a retreat to catch up with the main force.
Just as these soldiers were about to leave, the human forces of the Heatherlink army, who had been observing the battle, suddenly launched a full-scale surprise attack. It turned out that Niu Zida had already informed the nobles of the Heatherlink army of the retreat, and told them that he would weaken the Altaïr army for the entire day, while giving all the spoils of the final battle to the various nobles of Heatherlink. Seeing the opportunity to reap the benefits, these nobles who had been watching changed their previous passive participation in the war and began to eagerly await their chance.
After months of attrition, the nobles of Heatherlink had long since overcome their fear of Altaïr's military strength after witnessing the Altaïr army's disarray against Niu Zida. Now, seeing that the Altaïr army had been worn down during the day and was preparing to withdraw, they naturally launched a full-scale attack. More importantly, this was the best opportunity to seize the spoils of war. After months of fighting, if they didn't take something back, how would they make up for the food they had consumed, and how would they explain it to the people in their territory?
The Altaïr army never expected that the human knights of Hetherink, who had been observing for almost the entire time, would launch an attack on them on the last day of their retreat. The offensive of more than 2000 men instantly put the Altaïr army, which was preparing to retreat, on the defensive. When Tandret found out, he quickly led his personal guards and conscripts back to rescue them. After all, the last 200 men covering the retreat were elite standing troops, and they could not be lost. Otherwise, how could he explain it to the House of Nobles and the royal family?
Tempted by the spoils of war, the Heatherlink army launched an exceptionally fierce offensive. Fortunately, Tandret's forces were still strong, and after several counterattacks, they managed to slowly rescue the rearguard. Of course, they also suffered considerable casualties, but they managed to avoid the complete annihilation of the rearguard. Even so, Heatherlink's knights continued to pursue them.
Tandret knew that the Heatherlink army wanted their spoils after seeing his retreat. If he didn't want to be captured by the enemy, he would have to give up some valuables himself. To avoid trouble, after withdrawing his men, he ordered his army to leave behind some armor, warhorses, and a small amount of gold coins along the way for the Heatherlink nobles to collect. Sure enough, no one pursued them after that, and Tandret finally managed to catch up with the main force safely.

Chapter 412.
This resounding victory in the pursuit greatly enhanced Niu Zida's prestige among the nobles of Heatherlink. None of them had expected that Niu Zida, a goblin, could actually withstand the attack of Altaïr's army of 2, and even with a slight advantage, he managed to force the enemy to retreat without achieving anything. During the pursuit, he even gave them the opportunity to collect the spoils of war.
Moreover, Niu Zida didn't even rely on the walls of Dathos; he held off the Altaic army outside the city walls, minimizing the damage to the Dathos city area. This earned Niu Zida a lot of goodwill among the people of Dathos, and a popular ballad, "The great commander led his troops, and the Altaic people fled in disarray before they could even see the walls," was widely sung. It was not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
After the enemy withdrew, Niu Zida ordered the battlefield to be cleared. A total of 200 sets of armor, warhorses, and provisions that hadn't been carried away in time were captured. These provisions were lost due to the unexpected goblin counterattack on the last day.
Chapter 595
The grain that was to be burned also became spoils of war. To be honest, there weren't many spoils, but they were enough as a tool for propaganda. After all, this was a victory against the Altaic army, where they not only did not lose but also captured spoils. All the territories of the entire Western Sea Continent would now have to take their strength seriously.
After the battle, Niu Zida did not rashly disband his army. He sent Chunxue, Rosalia, and others to scout out the enemy's movements under the cover of night. Only after confirming that Tandret had led his army to retreat in disgrace did he feel at ease and disband his army. However, he only dismissed the soldiers from other territories. Niu Zida's troops remained outside the castle town. After this battle, he simply expanded the camp outside the castle town into a city wall to protect the castle town of Dasos Pass. The local merchants' association naturally supported this and even took the initiative to provide manpower to help Niu Zida build the city wall.
While the city walls were being built, Niu Zida and his maid were finally able to return to Dasos Pass to live. However, the pass was a small town, so after staying there for a day or two, Niu Zida led his men to Andaman Village, where the grain and fodder were stored. It was not far from Dasos Pass, so they could provide support at any time in case of an alarm. Moreover, it would be much more convenient for him and his maid to do whatever they wanted to be away from these people.
When Asuna heard that Niu Zida was going to take her to Andaman Village, she was naturally the happiest. Kirito was in charge of guarding the food supplies in Andaman Village. This time, her master was taking her there, which meant that she would finally meet Kirito after more than a year apart.
Seeing Asuna's smiling face all the way, occasionally humming a song, and not being so unhappy when they were together, even secretly laughing out loud in bed, Niu Zida knew that this was because Asuna was eager to see Kirito. Although he was jealous, he wouldn't be so cruel as to actually refuse to let the two of them meet. After all, his training principle was always to give hope so that the other person could accept their fate. Constant high pressure and despair would only make them give up and choose to give up, which was not conducive to carrying out orders. People are most motivated when they have hope.
However, even though that's what he said, Niu Zida was still a little unhappy seeing Asuna so excited. This slut, does she like Kirito that much? She always comes to orgasm with him in bed, and she gets more and more slutty after each orgasm. How can her body be so submissive? Does Asuna still think Kirito is better?
"Asuna, what's wrong? You seem to be in a good mood lately."
On the carriage to Andaman village, Niu Zida specially asked Asuna to serve him alone. After Asuna, wearing white stockings, was brought to orgasm by Niu Zida while lying face down, the two of them lay down on the tatami mat in the carriage to rest. Looking at Asuna's smiling face, Niu Zida asked with a smile while squeezing Asuna's big breasts.
"Hey? Is there any?"
"Of course! You haven't stopped smiling lately. It seems you really enjoy seeing Kirito, don't you?"
"Ah...this..."
Asuna was surprised that Niu Zida had hit the nail on the head. She didn't know how to answer. After all, she was afraid that if she answered poorly and angered Niu Zida, he would not let her see Kirito again. She was going crazy thinking about Kirito. If she really couldn't see Kirito again, she would really go crazy.
"It's alright, I can tell, and I won't stop you from meeting. I already said before that I would let you and Kirito meet after the war, how can I, as your master, go back on my word?"
As Niu Zida finished speaking, he pinched Asuna's large breast, then lowered his head to suckle the tender red tip, gently biting it. This caused Asuna to let out a soft moan, clutching her white silk stockings and sighing softly:
"Master, please don't bite my nipple so hard..."
"What's wrong? Your big breasts are my private property. Asuna, you little brat, you've forgotten your owner, haven't you?"
"Of course not..."
A blush of embarrassment rose on the snow-white face of the flaxen-haired beauty. She squinted her beautiful eyes and softly agreed, afraid that she might say something wrong and offend Niu Zida. She even reached out her slender arms and took the initiative to hug Niu Zida's head and press it against her snow-white breasts, trying to distract him with this stunt.
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly, his face was buried in Asuna's large breasts. Niu Zida was a little flustered. In order to lift his head up quickly, he could only pinch Asuna's large breasts and then bite the little cherry on them hard. Asuna couldn't bear the pain and released Niu Zida's head.
"Cough cough cough, you're trying to suffocate me with a giant clams..."
"I...I thought Master would be happy..."
Seeing Niu Zida's angry questioning, Asuna quickly apologized. Seeing the originally elegant and beautiful girl's submissive appearance, Niu Zida felt satisfied with his sense of conquest. Moreover, after the commotion, his face was still covered with Asuna's milky scent, and the feeling of his face rubbing against the beautiful girl's tight and soft breasts was not bad.
"Alright, alright, I won't pursue this matter any further. By the way, I need to be there to monitor your meeting with Kirito."
"Huh? But..."
"But what? I only agreed to let you meet, I didn't say you could be alone together. Who knows if you'll get excited and hug or kiss Kirito? Your body is mine, I want to protect my property, okay? If not..."
Chapter 596
"Then I won't let you meet."
When Asuna heard that Niu Zida was going to be a third wheel, her smile immediately faded by half. However, when Niu Zida said that this was the only way for her to meet Kirito, she could only reluctantly agree.
"Okay, I see."
Hearing that Asuna agreed, Niu Zida leered and rolled over, continuing to straddle Asuna's delicate body. He parted her white silk stockings and thrust himself into her, eagerly pressing down on her and crawling around. To please Niu Zida and facilitate her meeting with Kirito, Asuna tried her best to wrap her white silk stockings around Niu Zida's back, swaying her slender waist to meet his rhythm. Soon, the carriage was filled with rhythmic sounds of intercourse, panting, and the man's wanton laughter...
The next day, they arrived at Andaman Village. During breakfast, Ningguang gave Niu Zida something. Niu Zida asked and learned that it was a magic core vibrator, a sex toy she had made using imaginary energy ore and floating true cores. She gave it to Niu Zida after making it. Niu Zida was worried about how to play with Asuna, and receiving this toy gave him an idea. He had Asuna part her white stockings and casually inserted it into her.
"This thing can be controlled by thought, but its energy may be limited, and it can only last for two or three hours at most. It is still in the trial stage, so the control may not be very precise."
"It's alright, it's just the same thing as letting Asuna give it a try this time."
"But Master, I'm about to go see Kirito."
"It was because you went to see Kirito that he made you wear this for the experiment. There are many orders that are inconvenient to give in front of Kirito, so isn't it better to use this to convey them? Of course, if you don't want to directly reveal our relationship to Kirito, that's fine too."
"No... then I'll just wear it. But how does this thing transmit commands? Can it directly convey the master's thoughts to me?"
"I'm afraid that feature isn't available yet."
Upon hearing Ningguang's explanation, Niu Zida smiled and said:
"It's okay, I can control this vibrator directly, right? So I can design a few simple commands in advance, and then I can just fire them. For example, right now, I can make the vibrator jump once inside your clam, which means you can use your white silk stockings to serve me, and two jumps means you can bite me."
Ningguang looked at Niu Zida with a smile, surprised that he had come up with such a despicable method so quickly. She thought to herself that her master was a born pervert.
Asuna blushed as she listened to Niu Zida's explanation. Although she didn't want to agree, her strong desire to see Kirito made her disregard everything else. Besides, given her position, she had no choice but to agree to even the most humiliating conditions.
"Alright, I see you're in such a hurry to see Kirito, so let's have Kirito come at noon. Joel, hold me, Ningguang, you come with me too, we'll go see Kirito together. You send someone to inform Kirito first."
It felt strange to have so many people accompanying her, but Asuna couldn't care less. She was about to see her lover, and all that filled her heart was joy and excitement.
The meeting place was arranged at a small tavern in Andaman Village. When Niu Zida and Asuna arrived, they found that Kirito was already waiting there...
Chapter 413 White Silk Cake Under Asuna's Table
Chapter 413.
Kirito was incredibly excited to see Asuna, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and Asuna was just as excited. However, with Yoru holding Niu Zida and Ningguang accompanying them, the two couldn't show it too much. They could only wait until they sat down and sat side by side. Kirito asked softly:
"Asuna, how have you been lately? It's been a long time."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Kirito, how are you?"
"Well... it's alright..."
"Are you eating properly again? The work here must be very demanding, right?"
"Why don't you fight on the front lines? I heard you've been very active in the battles there. Isn't it dangerous?"
"No, it's alright."
The two exchanged polite greetings like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, unlike lovers. Niu Zida observed Asuna and Kirito with interest, and seeing that they were talking about the previous battle, he took the initiative to speak:
"Asuna was very active in the recent war with Altaïr and made great contributions to us, as you can all see."
Joel and Ningguang both agreed, after all, Asuna's performance in battle was indeed excellent. Of course, Niu Zida's words also had another meaning, since Asuna not only performed well in battle, but also tirelessly became pregnant during the battle to replenish her troops, which was also a great contribution.
"As expected, Asuna is growing up in places I can't see."
"Kirito, you're the same way. You've been working very hard in the rear, haven't you? I heard it from Ningguang."
"Yes, that's true. Mr. Kirito has been guarding Andaman Village and stabilizing the rear for a while now, and he has provided a lot of assistance to the front line. He has also captured several spies sent by the enemy to cause sabotage."
"Is that so? It's true that it's still not working without Kirito behind us."
Niu Zida and Ningguang started praising Kirito in a back-and-forth manner, which made Kirito a little embarrassed. Asuna, on the other hand, was filled with pride and joy. Seeing Kirito's shy smile after being praised, Asuna felt that the separation during this period was all worthwhile. Kirito was no longer in a state of doubt and self-abandonment like when he first came to this world, so everything she had done was worthwhile.
Seeing Asuna's slight
Chapter 597
Seeing Kirito's expression with a smile, Niu Zida felt a pang of jealousy. He deliberately activated the vibrating egg with his mind, and it began to vibrate slightly inside Asuna's beautiful vulva. Asuna's beautiful eyes widened, and she pursed her lips in surprise. She looked at Niu Zida, who was grinning mischievously, and thought to herself, "This is not what we agreed on. We were told that one vibration was to help with my beautiful feet, and two vibrations were to bite. But what does this constant vibration mean?"
"Asuna, what's wrong?"
Noticing that Asuna had been silent for a while, Kirito found it strange and turned to look at her to ask what was wrong. Asuna, with a shy blush on her fair face, quickly shook her head and said:
"N-nothing... um..."
"Asuna, does your stomach hurt?"
"No...it's okay..."
"Yes, Asuna, if you're tired, you should get some rest. After all, the fighting on the front lines lately has been exhausting."
At this moment, Niu Zida deliberately picked up where Kirito left off, pretending to care about Asuna. Asuna couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, thinking to herself, "Who did this to me? How could they say such things to my face? They're so shameless!"
Although she thought that way, the vibrating egg inside her clam became increasingly excessive, constantly rolling around inside, making her vaginal muscles feel itchy and tingly. Soon, the inside became muddy, and a lot of nectar flowed out of the clam's mouth, making the base of her slender white silk thighs wet and stained with water.
Under such stimulation, Asuna could only furrow her delicate eyebrows, clutch her lower abdomen, and let out ambiguous gasps. Under the constant impact, she tried to bite her tender red lips, afraid that she would make any strange noises that would attract Kirito's attention. But the more she did this, the more concerned Kirito became, thinking that she had a stomachache.
"I think Asuna has a common problem with girls, Kirito, you'd better not ask too many questions."
"Huh? A common problem?"
"Yeah, it's that kind of illness where when someone gets their period, you straight men just tell them to drink more hot water."
Hearing Ningguang's explanation, Kirito suddenly realized that Asuna was having her period, which was why she was feeling unwell. He had been asking her so many questions, no wonder Asuna seemed hesitant to speak. He was so stupid; he hadn't considered Asuna's thoughts at all.
Seeing Asuna's white stockings hanging loosely, Kirito felt guilty, realizing he hadn't been considerate of her.
