Chapter 202: Be My Princess, No Refusals Allowed
Margarita had a premonition.
The power bestowed upon her by the king could make her as powerful as the Ghost Beastmen. She needed this power to protect her tribe.
"How's it going on your end?"
"My King, the Demon army has already set out and is heading toward the Ogre Mountain Range."
"Have you made contact with the various tribes in the Southern Wasteland?"
"Not yet. We'll make contact after entering the Ogre Mountain Range."
"Why? I don't understand."
"My King, we can't give them too much time to think. Only when the arrow is already on the string can we force them to make a decision immediately. If we approach them too early, they'll overthink, and overthinking often leads to fear. The Ghost Beastmen are powerful and feared by the tribes. Only by limiting their space for thought can their hatred outweigh their fear."
"Though I don't fully understand, what you said seems reasonable. You handle it."
"My King, the Demon army may send Ghost Beastmen to monitor the movements of the Goblin army. The Ghost Beastmen are formidable, and Emma and the others may not be able to detect them. You must be cautious. If the Demons discover the Goblin army's movements, they might deduce your intentions."
"I got it. I'll be careful on my end."
In the vast wilderness, the enormous army gradually moved into the distance.
As the Demon army advanced toward the Ogre Mountain Range, on the other side, the Goblin army was also moving toward the same destination.
The dim forest was filled with commotion.
Within a radius of over ten kilometers, the forest was teeming with marching Goblins.
In the noisy crowd, Li Meng strolled leisurely through the forest.
"Emma, you're beautiful. Be my Princess," Li Meng said with a grin as he looked at Emma beside him.
Emma was indeed beautiful—more youthful than Margarita.
Her alluring human figure had voluptuous, captivating curves.
The tight leather armor on her body evoked an impulse to strip it off.
Her ample breasts rivaled even that of Vanessa.
Even her horse body was impressive, with a full and round rear.
Such a woman was perfect for giving birth to little Goblins.
Moreover, as a centaur with a sturdy build, she could probably give birth to dozens in one go.
Faced with the king's sudden proposal, Emma's face turned slightly red.
"My King, I… I already have a partner," Emma said, lowering her head slightly to reject the king.
"Emma, didn't all the men in your centaur tribe die?"
"No, My King. Not all of them died. There are still a few left, and my partner is among them."
"I don't care. Even your queen has agreed to be my bride. I won't allow you to refuse!"
The queen agreed to be the king's bride?
Hearing this, Emma was slightly surprised.
"You only need to accompany me for one month a year, just like your queen!"
The king's voice rang out again.
Only one month a year?
Emma suddenly understood why the queen agreed.
If it was just one month, it seemed manageable.
Emma raised her head to look at the king's massive figure beside her.
Although she knew the king could shrink himself, he was still a Goblin, which made her uneasy.
To engage in such an act with a Goblin… Emma felt uncomfortable.
"Emma, do you dislike me?"
Hearing this, Emma quickly shook her head.
"My King, I… I don't dislike you."
"Very well, then you are my Princess!"
Emma's expression shifted slightly as if she wanted to speak but held back.
In the end, Emma accepted her fate as a Princess.
"It is my honor to become the king's Princess," Emma said softly, lowering her head.
Looking at Emma, who stood beside him, Li Meng grinned widely.
Li Meng didn't care whether Emma was willing or not.
As long as he liked a female, he would take her.
Once they were on his bed, everything would fall into place.
Even the most resistant females would submit to his iron rod.
"Wangwang, go see if there are any Ghost Beastmen nearby!"
Half a month ago, Wangwang had already awakened, and its stats had increased significantly.
[Flame Skurg (Elite)]
Level: 21
Strength: 517
Defense: 479
Agility: 617
Magic: 787
Flame Breath: LV4
Shapeshifting: LV7
White Contract: LV1
"Wangwang!"
Wangwang barked ferociously, its small body twisting and swelling.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a massive Skurg, four meters in diameter.
"Wangwang!"
Wangwang dashed into the forest, leaving chaos in its wake. Goblins stumbled and fell everywhere as it passed.
"My King, what is Wangwang doing?" Emma asked with a puzzled expression, watching the creature run off.
The king seemed to have said something to Wangwang before it grew and ran away.
"There may be Ghost Beastmen watching us. I sent Wangwang to check."
Hearing this, Emma frowned slightly.
"My King, we centaurs are the best scouts. If there are Ghost Beastmen nearby, we'll definitely find them."
"Emma, how about we make a bet?"
"A bet?" Emma looked at the king, confused.
"My King, what do you want to bet on?"
"We'll bet on whether there are Ghost Beastmen nearby. If Wangwang finds them, I win. If there are none, or if Wangwang can't find any, you win."
"If I win, Emma, after the war, you'll serve me for six months. If you win, you can make one request of me, as long as I can fulfill it."
Emma's eyes sparkled as she thought it over.
This bet seemed to be in her favor.
After all, the existence of Ghost Beastmen was still uncertain.
"My King, I accept. If you win, I will serve you wholeheartedly for six months!"
Li Meng extended his hand, forming a fist and pointing it toward Emma.
"Deal!"
Emma smiled, gently bumping her fist against the king's massive one.
"Deal!"
At that moment, smiles appeared on both their faces.
If Emma won, she and her queen could gain their freedom.
If Li Meng won, Emma would serve him for six months.
However, Emma didn't realize that her agreement had already sealed her fate.
Seeing Emma secretly rejoicing, Li Meng chuckled.
The chance of Ghost Beastmen existing was close to 80%.
The Demons wouldn't be foolish enough not to send scouts to monitor the Goblins' movements.
His next step was to find those Demon scouts.
Just as Li Meng expected, the "eyes" of the Demons were indeed present.
In the northern part of the Ogre Mountain Range, on a mountain along the border of the Goblin Forest, a figure was gazing at the distant forest.
The figure was a Ghost Beastman with twin horns on its head.
"Strange, shouldn't the Goblin army be moving downstream toward the southern border of the Irisis Principality?"
The direction of the Goblin army puzzled the Ghost Beastman.
