During Lawrend’s lecture, more mages from the army arrived. They instantly sat down on the ground and intently listened to each of his words. They tried to memorize them all to the best of their abilities.

Lawrend stopped after an hour of lecture.

“I hope everyone here learned a thing or two,” Lawrend said and lightly smiled.

Ember stared at him with her mouth gaping wide. She was in awe of his excellent lecture. Many of his ideas were fresh and new to her. Even she, who was at the Earth Mage level, got a lot of benefits.

“Splendid, Your Majesty!” Otor exclaimed and clapped his hands.

The mages stood up in unison and clapped towards him too. All of them had looks of admiration without any exception.

“I’m afraid we can’t afford to be your enemy in the future, Your Majesty,” Julianne said wryly.

She was confident that Lawrend would be more powerful in the future. He would be able to sweep through the world with this army. Today was the start, and tomorrow would not be the end.

It would be hard for the Undrasil Kingdom not to rise up with a leader this capable.

“I’m not unreasonable. I just want to leave something behind for my descendants. It will be up to them what to do in the future,” Lawrend humbly replied.

If it weren’t for Humility and Aleshia, he wouldn’t have even thought about taking over the kingdom. He would have straight-up gone to the Blumin Empire and challenged the mages there.

He would soon settle this matter and travel around the world. He would leave his descendants here and be untethered once again.

“Master, I’m curious. Can you tell us what level you are now?” Ember asked.

She was the most curious among them. She had fought against him before, and she knew firsthand his abilities. She realized that that might not have been all of them.

“Since we will all fight together, I suppose it’s not a problem. I’m currently a Grand Mage.”

Lawrend’s revelation widened the eyes of everyone in the crowd. A pair of brothers stared at each other and smacked the other in the face.

“We’re not dreaming!”

“This is reality!”

The other mages did something similar. All in all, they all confirmed that they didn’t mishear him.

“A monster!” Gregory muttered.

He was usually silent, but he was scared out of his mind. If this was Lawrend’s strength at the Grand Mage level, he couldn’t imagine how monstrous he would be at the Earth Mage level.

If he became an Earth Mage, wouldn’t that mean that he could fight against Heaven Mages?

“Master is not a monster! He’s the most brilliant mage in all of the history of the world!” Ember shouted angrily.

She felt admiration for Lawrend, and she became his fan after he totally dominated her. She wouldn’t let anyone call him a monster.

“Forgive me! I was just too surprised,” Gregory quickly responded.

He was terrified of Ember. Even more so than Lawrend. He grew up with the fear of the Ignis Clan. Lawrend was just new, so his mind still didn’t register him to be that frightening.

“Hmph! Speak rashly again, and I will punish you in my Master’s stead,” Ember snorted.

“So fierce…”

“Definitely His Majesty’s maid.”

“Maybe only he would be able to subdue such a tyrant princess…”

The mages watching from the sides murmured to each other. They didn’t know Ember’s real identity. They only remembered her fighting against Lawrend.

Some of them were still surprised to learn that she became his maid.

From enemy to maid. Just how amazing would a man have to be to do that? She was a peerless beauty too. It definitely required the luck of several lifetimes.

As for Gregory, he stood behind Julianne. Only behind her did he feel safe. Although he felt safe, he also knew that Julianne wouldn’t dare defend him if he genuinely angered the princess of the Ignis Clan.

Before absolute destruction, it would be hard to keep friends and family on the same side. Not to mention Julianne, who only considered him as someone to order around.

“Since everyone is here, I will lay out our plan. First, the Arch Mages from the other elements, stand forward,” Lawrend ordered.

More than 50 Arch Mages stood forward. They were all Arch Mages of other elements. A lot of them were young and vigorous.

The old Arch Mages didn’t dare to fight in this war because of their old age. Only the young ones dared to do so. Besides, only the young could benefit from Lawrend’s lectures.

“Hmmm…”

Lawrend stared at the Arch Mages in absolute silence. He was happy that there were many of them, but there were simply too many. Clova could at most carry twenty of them.

“Line up.”

The Arch Mages obediently lined up in front of him without any word of complaint.

Lawrend started from the far left.

“Who are you?”

“Pejo Kirya!”

“Fire element, what is your best ability?”

“Setting things on fire!”

“Too simple. Next.”

Lawrend continued on and asked the next Arch Mage until he finally asked each of them.

“You, you, you, you…”

Lawrend kept pointing until he got twenty Arch Mages.

“The others, stand back,” Lawrend ordered.

The Arch Mages that weren’t selected disappointedly walked back. This next task would surely reward high merit: more lectures from Lawrend.

His first lecture already made them salivate. His next ones would surely be better. The more they could attend, the better they could improve.

“The twenty of you will be the scouting party. There are three Darkness Mages in the twenty of you. They should be enough to hide all of your auras. There are also four Light Mages to heal everyone just in case of an emergency.

“Wind Mages to aid in stealth, Earth Mages to defend, and some offensive mages too. Go stand on the side,” Lawrend said.

The twenty scouts stood to the side. The mages left in the army stared at them with envy. It was an honor to be personally selected by the Combat Maid Harem King.
