Ace and Scarlett were heading to their camp while holding hands.
Scarlett's face was full of smiles as she returned to their camp with her handsome boyfriend hand in hand.
The reason for this was simple.
It was because her heart and soul were happy!
Her heart was delighted because she could spend time alone with her young lover in a good place, and her soul was thrilled because he could satisfy her when they had sex earlier.
She even had a massive orgasm. This was the reason why she was walking with a smile on her face.
"You seem so happy." He spoke abruptly.
"Because I'm feeling happy right now." Scarlett gave an honest answer.
"Then we should go on an adventure again when you have free time." He suddenly remembered the time when they traveled to Herora City together.
"Sure!" she agreed immediately because going on an adventure with him was a hundred times better than staying at home and doing work every day.
Ace raised his right little finger and uttered, "Promise?"
"Promise." After saying that, she intertwined her right little finger with his.
"Hehe." The duo laughed happily.
Shortly after that, they reached their camp.
Because Scarlett wanted to maintain her image, she stopped holding hands with him.
Ace was fine with it because he understood her status as city mistress. Of course, he would love it if they could lovey-dovey in front of her people.
However, he would not force her to lovey-dovey with him in front of her people because he also cared about her reputation.
As Ace and Scarlett were heading to their tent, Lieutenant Valeria walked toward Scarlett.
"City mistress, the scout team has returned." Lieutenant Valeria went straight to the point.
Scarlett immediately looked at Ace. "Ace, let's go to the conference tent."
"I also can participate in the meeting?" he was startled after hearing her words.
"Just stand by my side." Scarlett responded.
Like Ace, Lieutenant Valeria was also shocked, but she did not say anything and only stared at Ace and Scarlett.
"Sure." Ace agreed immediately.
Then the trio headed to the conference tent.
----
Camp, Henry's Tent.
Henry was currently sitting on a wooden chair next to his son. Even though Edward had regained consciousness, Henry still wore a worried face.
He wore a worried face because Edward could not accept the truth and coughed up blood when he said Ace defeated him in one move.
Yes, his loss to Ace was a big blow to his mind.
This was the reason why he could not calm down even after his son had regained consciousness.
"Edward, calm yourself. Even though you lost to him, but you can challenge him again in the future." Henry tried to calm his son. "You are one of the best awakeners in the younger generation, so I'm sure you can defeat Ace in the next fight."
Edward came to his senses after hearing his father's words. "You are right, father. I can't let this defeat affect my mentality and determination to become a powerful awakener. I will use this loss to train harder and get stronger."
Henry let out a sigh of relief. "Every powerful awakener had experienced defeat in their life. They can become powerful awakeners because they don't give up and constantly hone themselves. I believe you can also become a powerful awakener in the future."
"Thank you, father." Edward thanked his father for reminding him that he must not let his defeat affect his determination to become one of the strongest awakeners in the world.
"Good! That's my son!" Henry said as he smiled.
Not long after that, Lieutenant Valeria entered their tent and told them that Scarlett was waiting for them in the conference tent.
Henry and Edward wasted no time and immediately headed to the conference tent because they were about to discuss their plan to attack the Red Ogre village.
'Hmm? Why is he in the conference tent?'
Anger rose in him like a tide after Edward stepped into the conference tent.
The reason was simple.
He saw Ace in the conference tent!
There were currently eight people in the conference tent.
These eight people were Scarlett, Lexie, Aron, Melissa, Alvaro, Ace, Captain Noah, and Captain Lia.
Captain Lia was an easy-going lady in her mid-thirties. She had short red hair and pink eyes.
She was in the conference tent because she was the leader of the scout team.
When Ace noticed that Edward was looking at him angrily, he crossed his arms over his chest and smirked.
He was not surprised when he saw Edward's expression because he had humiliated Edward in front of everyone by beating him with just one move.
Henry, who was standing next to his son, said in a low voice, "Edward, control yourself."
Edward took a deep breath before letting it out slowly.
Even though there was still anger within him, it had lessened a lot after taking a deep breath.
Ace, who was standing next to Scarlett, was surprised.
'Oh! Surprisingly he can control himself well this time.'
Previously, he thought Edward would yell at him, but he was wrong.
Of course, he was happy with this because he did not want to cause trouble in the conference tent.
"Because everyone is here, let's begin discussing our plan." Scarlett spoke abruptly.
Captain Lia immediately put a map on the wooden table. "This is the map I drew earlier."
She informed everyone that the Red Ogre village was protected by a high wooden fence. Not only that, but there were also four towers in that village.
There were two goblins in each tower, and two ogres were guarding the entrance of the village.
"There are two hundred of them in total." Captain Lia spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "Eight of them are at 3-star and the rest are at 1-star and 2-star."
She also told them that among these 3-star ogres, one of them was a mage, and the rest were knights.
"Our enemies are only two hundred, while we have 400 hundred people. We can win this war easily!" Henry stated.
"Don't underestimate them, Henry!" even though their number was twice the number of their enemies, Aron did not want Henry to underestimate them.
In war, anything could happen, including losing against enemies with fewer numbers.
"Mister Aron is right, mister Henry." Lexie spoke abruptly. "Even though we have the advantage in numbers, but we must not underestimate them or else we will regret it later."
"I'm not underestimating them. I only said we can win this war easily." Henry felt like Aron and Lexie were attacking him with their words.
"It's the same, mister Henry." Lexie responded.
"Alright, stop it!" Scarlett uttered, "Don't fight here."
Ace shifted his gaze from Aron to Scarlett after hearing her words.
'She is really different when she is in front of her people.'
She looked like a different person now.
Her lewd face had turned into a serious expression, and the flames of lust could no longer be seen in her eyes now.
Not only that, but firm words also came out of her mouth, a mouth that said vulgar words and sucked his penis hungrily a few minutes ago.
If one saw her current and previous behavior, that person would open his mouth in shock because she looked like a completely different person.
'I didn't expect my lover to have a unique personality like this.'
Of course, he was happy because she only acted lewd when she was with him.
When Scarlett noticed that Ace was staring at her, she showed her soft smile. She did not know he had dirty thoughts when he stared at her.
Ace suddenly felt bad for having dirty thoughts after seeing her soft smile.
'Sigh. It seems like I've become a pervert now.'
He nodded his head before looking at the map in front of him.
Henry was unhappy when Scarlett smiled softly at Ace.
However, he did not show it on his face because he knew it would make her angry at him.
"We will use archers to kill the goblins in the tower and guard the entrance. After that, we will use mages to launch a ranged attack on the village." Scarlett said, "When they panic because of a sudden attack, we will attack them openly."
"I agreed." Aron uttered.
"We also agreed." Melissa and her husband said in unison.
One by one, they said they agreed with Scarlett's idea.
To their surprise, Ace suddenly said, "I think we should discuss who will fight the 3-star ogress because that is the key to winning the war."
Everyone instantly looked at Ace.
"Who do you think you are?" Edward spoke abruptly. "You have no right to say anything in this place, so shut your mouth."
"Ace, you can be here because of Scarlett, so don't say anything." Henry added.
"No! What Ace said is right." Aron agreed with Ace's words. "Killing the 3-star ogres is the key to winning the war, so we need to form several teams to face them."
"I agreed with Ace's idea." Lieutenant Valeria also agreed with Ace's idea.
"I agreed too." Captain Noah added.
Ace looked at Edward and Henry.
'Stupid!'
He told them that they were stupid through his lips.
Even though no sound came out of Ace's mouth, Henry and Edward understood what he was saying because they could read the movement of his lips.
'Damn it!'
Of course, they were enraged when he said they were stupid, but they tried their best to suppress their anger.
Scarlett looked at everyone and uttered, "Alright. Let's form a few teams now."
