Chapter 157 Reunion

"What army are you mad about? We scouted the whole area before attacking here and nobody was there," Ordering two of his men to hold down Julius, he looked at Ferosa with an angry look.

"I don't know my lord, they have a flag I've never seen before, " Ferosa was sceptical about this situation as it was a huge blunder on his side.

"What do you mean you don't know? Damn it," Pete felt his head burning as he wanted to cut down Fersoa without even questioning anything but he prevented from doing it as he didn't want to create any more problems.

"Looks like you have another few minutes to be alive, be grateful for whoever is outside that wall, Julius," Looking at his opponent with mocking eyes, Pete said.

"Let's take him to the wall, if they are from the kingdom we can use him as a hostage to force them to surrender,"

Two soldiers dragged Julius by his hands while following Pete. Ferosa also didn't forget to follow them to see what was going to happen.

Pete quickly got onto the wall without even hesitating a bit only to see, a huge group of people outside the gate. They had spectacular and beautiful weapons as well as armour.

His eyes didn't stop there as he noticed the diversity among this group.

"Beast people!" Pete's mouth mumbled those words unconsciously as he was confused. He didn't know what this group of people is as there were both humans and beastkin.

"Ferosa, what's this?"

"I'm confused too, your highness,"

The empire army got ready for another fight as soon as they heard the news about this strange group. Almost all of them were injured or tired from their previous fight but their commanders forced them to stand up as they couldn't afford to stay down seeing this huge group.

"This land belongs to the Scaredmore empire, I warm you if you step even a single foot on this land, we will attack you," Pete and Ferosa wished this group was mistaken but they knew with armour and weapons in their hands, their aim was this fortress.

Pete observed this group furthermore until he noticed something he didn't want to see. He felt his whole face getting pale and his eyes bulging out of his eyelids.

"Daphnia,"

"Sister, calm down," Velian's voice calmed down Delci who was leaking killing intent like she saw her mortal enemy.

The mana around her was so disturbed that she actually could have easily gone into a state of mana overdrive if Velian didn't calm her mind.

"Veli, you might not remember this, but that man, he's the one who's responsible for everything happening to us and the same reason why I hate my hair colour so much," Daphnia also looked at her children with a conflicted gaze.

Seeing her past and the people who tried to kill her and her children, she felt strange. But unlike Delvi, she wasn't angry. Her mind was calm and she thought about every single move she can make to protect her children with her newfound power.

Daphnia looked at Velian and Delvi, she couldn't help but admire how talented they were right now. She still remembered the day, Velian got injured when he was a baby.

"Pete, I won't forgive you, Andriya or that useless man," She mumbled with a calm voice.

Suddenly both Velian and Daphnia noticed Pete's freaked put gaze. They knew he identified them. They had no reason to hide anymore.

Velian and his girls weren't the same people they used to be. With groundbreaking power inside their bodies, they could even threaten the whole of humanity so one of them was afraid of one puny human.

"Oh looks like our prey noticed us," Daphnia also slightly laughed at Velian's words.

"Darling, he shouldn't die a simple death, he's one who was responsible for your sister's hate toward her hair as well as your injury on your chest," Daphnia wasn't the type to seek revenge but right now she wanted to see that arrogant man kneeling before her one and only son.

"He won't, believe me," With Velian's words, he signalled everyone to advance as they didn't have reason to wait.

There were no archers on the wall as most of the empire archers were injured. Magicians had run out of mana. It was a pity trick to attack in a moment like that but Velian didn't care about what was right and wrong.

They were easily able to penetrate the puny defence of the empire through the hole which was made by Pete's army.

Every single odd of this war was against Pete as his defence started to crumble one by one.

"What the hell is this?" He looked at how his men got massacred. Their walking and cries angered Pete even more not because he loved his people but because he wanted people to witness his victory today to spread the news about it.

He wanted to show Andriya that he wasn't someone that totally depend on her.

While all of this was happening, Pete didn't even realise he was the main aim of Velian and the other girls. They didn't even take their eyes off him as they wanted to see every bit of suffering on his face.

"Haha, so that old hag failed to kill them, look like I overestimated her," In his mind, he never would have thought that Daphnia would be able to surpass him as someone who enjoyed the resources of the empire to rise in rank.

"Did they get support from some other kingdom? How did they get so many men and even beast people?" Pete couldn't even think about them can't as he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Arrogant and Ugly as always, nothing like my beloved brother,"

"Haha~ I didn't expect you to be this beautiful either, my lovely stepsister,"

"Shut up worm, I'm not your sister, I only have one brother," Delvi felt her whole body crawling in disgust as soon as she heard the word sister from Pete's mouth.

'I have to clean my ear with Velian's sweet voice after this'

Delvi thought as she slowly went for her longsword which was gifted by Velian.

Both Delvi and Pete took their weapons as they knew this is not a wholesome meeting between families.

"Well, let's talk like a family then,"
