Hearing the intelligence revealed by the captive, Niu Zida became even more confident about taking Duōléi City. It seemed that this small city was not heavily manned, and as long as he could use appropriate strategies, he could definitely take it.
"It seems taking it will be no problem at all. By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Comte."
"Very good. I will release you immediately. You just need to stabilize Lord Spring and tell him that Karel will bring his men to surrender to him in a month."
After Niu Zida finished speaking, he had Aponia continue to impose a Precept on the man named Comte, making him firmly believe in his inner dissatisfaction and hatred towards Spring. This way, even if Comte had lied about wanting to go back to see his family before, he could still use him.
"Rest today, and you can go back tomorrow."
"I need to see my family quickly, please let me go back sooner."
"But are your wounds okay?"
"It should be fine."
"I think there's a big problem. Let the village arrange an ox cart to send you off. Luckily, when you attacked the village before, there was still one ox left in the village. Otherwise, no one would be able to pull the cart, and you would have to walk back."
Under Niu Zida's arrangement, the village prepared an ox cart with their last ox. Afterward, Niu Zida, Misato Shizuku, and an old man drove the cart, taking Comte away from the village. Niu Zida personally escorted the cart this time, partly because he was afraid of damaging the ox cart, as it was the only ox left in the entire village, and losing it would be a problem for Spring plowing. Secondly, he also wanted to scout the road and see exactly where Duōléi City was.
According to Comte's description, Duōléi City was about fifty kilometers east of the village. Although it didn't sound very far, the road was rugged. It took a full day and night of traveling east before they saw any signs of human habitation. The journey was quite desolate; the border region already had a sparse population, and a year of war seemed to have pulled many people to the battlefield, making this area even more desolate.
They seemed to be very close to Duōléi City. After seeing people on the roadside, Niu Zida hid almost entirely in Misato Shizuku's arms, unwilling to show himself, in order to remain concealed. After another ten kilometers, Comte said they were only a few kilometers from Duōléi City and that he could walk the rest of the way himself. Only then did Niu Zida let him get off the cart, giving him a few instructions and telling him to meet Niu Zida there in a month after returning, when they would then arrange a way to enter Duōléi City.
"Master, do you really trust that Comte?"
"At least it's an opportunity. Besides, isn't there Aponia's Precepts? Even if he wanted to deceive me, he should now be filled with hatred for Spring."
On the way back, Misato Shizuku held Niu Zida, and the beautiful girl finally couldn't help but voice her doubts. Hearing her master's explanation, Misato Shizuku frowned, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, still seeming unconvinced by that person:
"What if he goes back and exposes our information? Will that lord bring people to attack us?"
"A village so far from them isn't worth their effort. I estimate that if Spring knew a story about a several-hundred-strong bandit group being defeated by a Goblin, his first reaction would be to kill Comte, thinking Comte was mocking him. I don't think Comte, even if he deceived me, would be so foolish as to tell Spring such a fantastical story. Besides, with such a small village and dozens of Goblins, and the war in Atair being so intense right now, even if Spring believed it, he wouldn't have the time to deal with me."
Niu Zida was still confident about this. The dilapidated scene he had witnessed in the territory along the way at least wouldn't lie. He was very confident in taking over Spring's territory.
It had been two or three days by the time they returned. Fortunately, nothing major had happened in the village during his absence, except that Aponia's belly had visibly grown larger, and tomorrow was her due date.
Niu Zida was still eagerly anticipating whether Aponia would give birth to elite Goblins this time, especially since Aponia's physique was quite special. If there were Goblin Shamans, they could also manage the Goblins on his behalf.
On the night of their return, after confirming Aponia's due date for the next day, Niu Zida had Misato Shizuku serve him that night. This was Misato Shizuku's first time attending to him in bed. Misato Shizuku seemed a bit nervous, and only then did Niu Zida realize that although she usually put on a cold and frosty demeanor, Misato Shizuku was actually a very innocent girl, inexperienced in such matters.
"Don't worry, I'll be very careful."
"Hmph... you only say such things..."
"Listen to me, spread your legs. Don't be afraid, it only hurts a little at first. Just breathe deeply."
Under Niu Zida's command, Misato Shizuku, attending to him that night, slowly opened her black stockings and took a deep breath, anxiously waiting for Niu Zida to lie on her delicate body for the final entry. However, since this was her first time, no matter how much Misato Shizuku told herself not to be afraid, her chest still heaved violently, her heartbeat gradually quickened, and she even broke out in a cold sweat.
If Niu Zida usually saw Misato Shizuku uncharacteristically showing such a nervous expression, he might have teased her a few times. But at this moment, he decided against it. After all, Misato Shizuku was willing to let go of her previous prejudices against him, acknowledge his master status, and bear his child. He shouldn't make things more complicated or tease her too much, which might make this proud beautiful girl lose face and ruin his good fortune.
Niu Zida saw that Misato Shizuku's breathing was still a bit rapid, and her fair, charming face was already flushed with a blush before they even started, still looking nervous. So, he didn't rush to enter. Instead, he climbed on top and actively leaned in, deep kissing Misato Shizuku.
"Wuwu... Mm... Hmph... Idiot, are you trying to kiss me to death...?"
Their lips and tongues intertwined, exchanging saliva, until Misato Shizuku couldn't hold her breath any longer and felt like she was suffocating. She gently pushed Niu Zida away, even playfully hitting him with her soft hand and pouting. Only then did Niu Zida chuckle and say:
"That's because I saw you, my wife Misato Shizuku, were too nervous, so I thought maybe a kiss would make you feel better."
"To come up with such a trick, you almost kissed me to death."
Although she said that, after that little commotion, Misato Shizuku did feel her heart relax, her breathing became steady, and her chest wasn't so tight anymore. She rolled her eyes at Niu Zida, who was kissing her ample chest in his arms. Misato Shizuku had to admit inwardly that Niu Zida always seemed to have a way to solve all sorts of problems around her.
"Alright, then, I'm going to start now..."
"Please... be gentle with me."
"Don't worry."
After saying that, Niu Zida lay on Misato Shizuku's delicate body, thrusting forward fiercely, entering the beautiful girl's flower bud...
