Chapter 219 219: Vesta Training Competition
Alexander was sitting at the northern outpost; because Emerald and Topaz enjoyed crafting and engravement, those two were tasked with asking McAlister to teach them and 100 Vesta how to create the items needed.
Although they had basic weapons, that was not enough for all Vesta, and the carriages might take time to build.
Therefore, Alexander needed more powerful items. After all, he didn't want anyone to die, especially after hearing about the new waves.
Emerald and Topaz were enthusiastic about using their unique engravement, tailoring skills, and creating cool items. Thus, McAlister accepted without a problem.
McAlister wanted to learn more about Vesta's culture and the tailoring technique used by Topaz, hoping to understand Vesta better. Although he was slightly uncomfortable teaching monsters, McAlister understood Alexander was different from other monsters, hence decided to give it a go.
The dwarf wasn't scared of the Vesta either, only wary due to their strange appearance.
"Sarah, how many waves spawned today?"
"Five"
"Annoying..."
He was a little annoyed that most of the strongest members were still downed due to Eris and Asmodeus, especially Brunhild, who was still partly mind broken, but his daily visits were helping.
The problem with the second wave is that a new set of zombies would spawn randomly around the city each day, and it wasn't just one or two but between one hundred and one thousand per wave.
Due to this, Alexander needed more Vesta to protect the city when hunting these zombies, which left him with fewer options to hunt.
Of course, Sarah told him not to worry as the strong waves were higher, and they would slowly become stronger. But even so, Alexander was slightly anxious.
Well, the more accurate term would be boring.
He wanted to fight, kill and grow stronger than before, but if he left, others would insist on going with him...
'How can I get around this...'
"Four directions... a total of one thousand two hundred troops. Can we divide them by four and have a little competition?"
Sarah's eyes opened wide, listening to his suggestion before thinking to herself with a nod after a few minutes.
"That isn't a bad idea. It could increase their teamwork, coordination, strength and confidence." Sarah said, agreeing with Alexander's idea.
Thus, he sent three groups, South, East and West.
Each group consisted of four hundred Vesta, two of his close women, and a few Elites.
When Sarah noticed three groups in each direction, she looked at him sceptically, "Darling, there are four directions..."
"I'll be taking north alone, or maybe let's have Laura, Maria, and Mildred come with me."
Sarah immediately understood, shaking her head with a slight smile.
"It's dangerous heading north alone. Let's send another group."
Alexander nodded with a grin, "No, I need that danger to grow. I am grateful for your tender love and support, Sarah..." His hand stroked her cheek as she blushed, allowing him to hug her gently, kissing her forehead with a chuckle.
"But I need danger to grow faster. We won't know what is north until we go. Well, let's see what we find."
Sarah understood Alexander was restless and wanted to fight strong enemies, thus nodded her head with a sigh, hugging him tighter. "Please don't get hurt or become sad..." Sarah mumbled, Alexander staring deeply at her neon blue Fox-like eyes before replying.
"Don't worry, Sarah; I always prioritise self-preservation. If anything gets complicated, I'll retreat instantly, alright."
His hug became tighter, holding her butt softly as his lips bit her red ears playfully. Sarah shivered slightly, groaning and clinging onto Alexander, watching him move closer to kiss her cheeks and the warm sensation as he caressed her ass.
"Sarah, Brunhild should recover soon, so put all resources into training everyone else. Forge the items we asked McAlestster, focus on getting Brunhild and your mother's better first..." He whispered in Sarah's ears softly.
After stroking her plump, meaty butt fondly a few times, Alexander moved his gaze towards the north with a light smile as Sarah stared from the back, noticing his eyes flickered with a sense of worry before transforming into confidence a moment later.
Moving away, he checked how Mildred and Maria played fighting in the small makeshift arena made from rock blocks. Their movement speed, aura fluctuation, flexibility and accuracy as their punches cracked like gunfire made Alexander proud. Their growth was faster than before.
Besides training stamina and muscle improvement each morning, the Vesta women trained complex martial art moves and tactics using the things taught in Kaliara and Velu's home worlds. They did not differ much from Kung Fu.
Still, they created intricate poses to condense their aura into an offensive power attack, Aura Strikes or Blades, followed by flexible body movements designed for sped and defensive capabilities.
Alexander knew that thanks to Velu's and Kaliara's previous teachings, understanding how Vesta gathered, compressed and expanded mana within their bodies helped make the Vesta realise they could train external skills easier than humans.
"Good work Maria, Mildred! Of course you too, Laura."
He was truly impressed by her changes; no longer a false show of respect and affection towards him; each movement and action was one hundred per cent genuine Laura, and her affection towards him no longer felt so bad...
Alexander planned to strengthen his bond with these four as they fought today's waves, "Let's go after you have a good meal and drink; we'll be fighting with just us four in the north. The group that does best gets a reward." Alexander smirked, showing his sharp ghoulish fangs as Laura's blue hair fluttered, nodding, the excitement obvious in her beautiful golden and cat-like pupils, dilating like sapphires sparkling beneath the sunlight.
Although Mildred rolled her eyes, her fists trembled as her aura excitedly lit. Maria blushed faintly before nodding with a cheerful voice. "Sure!" She screamed while practising Aura strikes and blades intensely alongside Mildred.
Even Alexander couldn't stop admiring Maria's dedication; her loyalty grew deeper than he anticipated, at first she was mute and could only offer him food, but over time, she no longer forced food onto everyone, instead would only give it to those she truly adored and was more like the previous Maria now.
'Though she always asks to dink Claire's milk on her cereal... haha.'
Laura sat down nearby, drinking water calmly as Sarah organised orders to prepare for the waves in his absence.
***
Alexander sat beside Laura, the wind blowing with a gentle whistle as they watched the huge outpost rapidly empty, leaving only a few tier 4 Vesta as the huge number of women spread to the East, South and West.
"Laura..." Alexander spoke with a soft and deep tone. His hand moved gently up Laura's slender back and touched her sexy neck before leaning closer to bite her large Elven ears, grinning ear to ear.
Her body shivered slightly, goosebumps forming and Alexander's thick aura flowing into her as her smooth white skin tingled with excitement and sexual desire. "I am sorry about neglecting you since you gave me this wonderful gift and letter."
He opened his suit pocket to show the love letter she sent him was still close to his chest, even after so long.
"Ah... Master... please do not mention it; it was inappropriate behaviour, apologises!" Laura spoke quickly, her hands waving as Alexander wrapped his arm around her waist, her body trembling from his touch.
Alexander could feel her feelings, uncertainty, fear, embarrassment, worry... "I cannot convince you with words, but I want you to remain beside me. Closer than before, if you desire anything, I will give it." Alexander whispered, his fingers lifting Laura's pink lips before he stared into her confused gold cat-like pupils.
"I will not abandon or dislike you, Laura. You deserve endless affection and gratitude, Sarah, Amy, Maria, Brunhild, Topaz, Megan, Himari, Patricia, Ayami, Mildred... even Althea..." Alexander chuckled slightly after mentioning her name.
Memories of the days with Samantha made Laura giggle, noticing his sincere words and tone. Not once could she notice fake feelings; even Alexander's thoughts remained truthful. Laura's tense shoulders eased, leaning forward against Alexander before laughing lightly.
"...Thank you, master..." Tears dripped from her bright, almond-shaped cat eyes, gazing directly into Alexander's emerald irises filled with compassion and pure passion for her.
"Call me Alexander; I do not want you to serve me like that. Be yourself, Anmer princess Lorelias."
"!!!!"
"How!?"
"Haha... I made the princess of a certain Denmer tribe my woman, and she told me about this princess who was abandoned due to her thin blood and... the rest of your past. So I pieced it together."
Laura's thick body was voluptuous with massive breasts, heavy and soft, juicy meaty thighs, large round ass... Her flawless snow-white skin, like unblemished glass, highlighted her beautiful gold cat-like pupils and lush sky-blue long hairs.
Alexander hugged Laura gently, not allowing her to escape as she began to breathe rapidly, her face blushing, "C-call me, Laura... please? I don't want to go back to that name..."
Alexander smirked, wrapping Laura tightly into a gentle embrace, playing with her smooth azure hair with a smile, "Alright then, my future elf wife~."
Sarah glanced with a teasing laugh, sending troops to their assigned locations as the Vesta distributed throughout the south, east and west rushed off to battle waves and then left herself, "So he's finally going to tie up loose ends... thank god, those girls were a little sad, even for me to see."
Laura didn't respond other than a light kiss to his cheek before her lewd body darted away in the black dress of the Vesta; her tattoo was engraved already as she wore long black tights.
'You were already prepared; that engravement is so lewd...'
Alexander licked his lips slightly, viewing Laura running away, her tattoos, breast and fat ass all enhancing her sex appeal as they bounced enticingly.
"Alright, let's go hunting." He smirked, chasing the group with his agile strides.
