On a mountaintop north of the Undead Mountain Range, a hundred tents as black as ink were stationed here, surrounded by spiked fences to form a small camp.
Black-armored soldiers, brimming with killing intent, patrolled back and forth around the area.
If there was someone who recognized these soldiers, they would be greatly surprised. These soldiers were not ordinary soldiers, but the infamous Black Armored Army of the Golden Leaf Empire.
Of course, although the Black Armored Army nominally belonged to the Golden Leaf Empire, everyone knew that they were actually the direct-line army of the Nord family.
The Black Armored Army was a force forged in blood and fire, and their powerful combat strength made all enemy nations tremble.
The number of soldiers in the Black Armored Army was not large. Compared to a standard hundred thousand-man army, the twelve thousand Black Armored soldiers could be considered to be severely understaffed.
There were one hundred tents here, with four soldiers living in each tent, meaning that there were four hundred Black Armored soldiers stationed in this area, which was equivalent to a battalion of soldiers.
A battalion of Black Armored soldiers was already a formidable force.
Even if a regular army with ten times their number fought against them, they would be still defeated by the battalion of Black Armored soldiers.
The military spirit of the Black Armored Army was created by the Nord family and it was also the Nord family's greatest reliance. The reason why the emperors of the Golden Leaf Empire did not dare to attack the Nord family was largely due to the existence of the Black Armored Army.
At this moment, in the main tent of the army camp, a burly young man with a bare chest was focused on studying the map of the Undead Mountains Range spread out on the table, which was covered with many lines crisscrossing the map.
This young man's facial features were sharp and chiseled, with bulging muscles all over his body. A roaring tiger was tattooed on his chest, with its head right between his two iron-like pectoral muscles.
As his chest muscles moved, the tiger became even more lifelike, as if it had come alive.
He was Huai'an Nord, the elder brother of Qi Bei, born from the same mother. He was also one of the three commanders of the Black Armored Army.
The Black Armored Army had thirty battalions, with every ten battalions led by one commander. Huai'an Nord had only just turned twenty, yet he already held a high position of power.
"Younger brother, where are you? Big brother doesn't believe that you're dead." Huai'an Nord hammered the table with his fist heavily. He could not forget how their mother, before passing away due to complications from giving birth to Qi Bei, had held onto his hand and begged him to take care of his younger brother. At that time, he was only five years old.
At this moment, the tent was lifted, and two exquisite-looking figures walked in carrying cakes and tea.
"Commander, please have some food. I made them myself," said the girl with a small mole on her delicate eyebrow, speaking with a sweet and pleasant voice that was clearly that of a young girl.
Huai'an Nord looked up and felt a headache coming on as he gazed at the beautiful and delicate princess of the Golden Leaf Empire standing before him.
Ten days ago, the princess had snuck out of the palace with a maid and came to the dangerous Undead Mountains Range to find him. She was known for her beauty and gentle personality, and it was no secret that she had feelings for him.
Huai'an Nord was a passionate man, and on that day, he had just found a jade pendant lost by his younger brother, thinking that something had happened to him and was overcome with grief. With the princess by his side gently comforting him, their passion ignited.
After a night of passion, the virgin princess endured his craziness again and again, despite her discomfort. However, Huai'an Nord knew that things had gotten out of hand. The conflict between the royal family and his clan, the Nord family, was irreconcilable. Furthermore, he had already been betrothed to Feng Ruoyun, the eldest daughter of the Feng family, since childhood.
If the princess followed him, his marriage with Feng Ruoyun would be ruined, and the alliance between the Nord and Feng families would be jeopardized. Moreover, if he became the son-in-law of the royal family, how could the Nord family trust him to command their troops?
However, Huai'an was also a daring man, and since the matter had come to this point, he would not evade it. He had already truthfully reported the matter to his father, and he believed that his father would come up with a proper solution.
The infatuated princess gazed at Huai'an's strong body, gently walking behind him and beginning to massage his shoulders with her delicate hands.
As she massaged him, the princess suddenly began to breathe heavily, her hands going from massaging to caressing. It was her first experience in this realm of lust and desire.
Huai'an grabbed the princess's small hand and lifted her up onto the huge table, tearing off her clothes and pressing down on her with his strong physique.
Moaning and panting sounds immediately filled the tent, and the delicate maid standing by the side watched this scene of sexual indulgence.
In the upper echelons of the Golden Leaf Empire's society, it was normal for maids to witness their masters' sexual activities. Most aristocratic families would not avoid having their personal maids by their side.
The maid's face blushed, her eyes lowered, and her hands crossed in front of her as if she were shy. However, no one noticed the faint black aura emanating from her hands.
….
….
Qi Bei hugged Yao Rao, her seductive body as cold as a block of ice, and his own body was frozen numb by the cold emanating from her.
If it weren't for the crazy circulation of internal energy in his body, he feared that the cold would have invaded his heart and veins and killed him long ago.
Holding such a peerless beauty should have been an extremely enjoyable experience for any man, but it turned out to be the most painful time for Qi Bei. Even his little brother was almost numb from the cold.
Fortunately, this was already the ninth day, and tomorrow, the strange cold poison in her body should stop erupting.
And every morning, his little brother still proudly leaned on Yao Rao, which made Qi Bei feel relief. At least his little brother was still performing well and hadn't wilted prematurely.
Yao Rao seemed to tacitly approve of him groping her every morning, perhaps as a way of thanking and compensating him. As for whether there was any emotional involvement in this, whenever Qi Bei asked about it, she always responded with sarcasm.
In these nine days, Qi Bei almost always fell asleep exhausted due to excessive consumption of internal energy. But this gave him an unexpected surprise, as his internal energy would increase a little bit every time after being replenished.
Qi Bei woke up drowsily and suddenly felt a slippery and warm lump in his palm. Subconsciously, he pinched it, feeling the sensation…
He suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes abruptly, only to see Yao Rao staring at him fiercely, and his hand had slipped into her clothes, holding onto one of her breasts.
"Do you like touching them?" Yao Rao said in a seductive voice, but her sweet voice was mixed with coldness.
Qi Bei quickly withdrew his hand and shook his head like a drum.
"Don't you like touching them?" Yao Rao's tone became even colder.
'Of course, I like it!' Qi Bei quickly nodded.
"Do you want to touch them again?" Yao Rao's head approached Qi Bei's face, her fragrance like orchids blowing onto his lips.
Qi Bei rolled his eyes, 'whatever, I'll just say what you want to hear'. "The sensation was amazing, it would be even more enjoyable to touch them every day."
"Then touch them again." Yao Rao's lips curled up.
Qi Bei really reached out his hand. Damn it, do you think I don't dare to touch them?
