The three Baby Slimes were unaware of what was happening above ground, as they took turns digging a path under the ground.

Lux, who was inside Eiko's body, was able to communicate with her and guide her as they escaped the capital city of the Haca Dynasty, undetected by anyone.

As Lux could share senses with Asmodeus, the Half-Elf witnessed the Archlich's move in his final moments. He couldn't help but be amazed at the boldness of his subordinate.

Part of the teenager wanted to know how the Royal Family would react after this attack in their Capital City, which many believed was safe from any kind of retaliation from their enemies.

However, since the Haca Dynasty had a Saint, he didn't dare take the risk of traveling above ground in case that powerful being was keeping an eye out for any suspicious activities in his domain.

After two days of traveling underground, Eiko and her clones unknowingly went past the returning Human Army, who was still not aware of what transpired in their Capital City.

Although traveling underground was hard, it was far safer than being discovered above ground.

Finally, on the third day, Lux deemed it safe and ordered Eiko to return to the surface so that the Baby Slime could rest.

"You did well, Eiko," Lux said as he patted the exhausted Baby Slime, whose eyes were drooping due to drowsiness. "Sleep well. I'll take over from here."

"Pa…" Eiko replied before yawning and closing her eyes to sleep.

Lux summoned Jed. The Thunder Warg King ran across the skies as fast as he could. After a day, they finally arrived at the border of the Wanid Kingdom, where the Orcs patiently waited for the Half-Elf's arrival.

A few hours later, Lux arrived at the Capital City of the Orcs, which was currently under reconstruction.

The first thing he did was to see his Master, Randolph, Grandma Annie, Laura, Livia, Gerhart, and Cethus.

His companions were busy helping with the reconstruction, which made the Orcs have a very good impression of them.

"You're finally back, Lux," Randolph said as soon as the Thunder Warg King landed on the ground. "Was your sightseeing trip in the Haca Dynasty fun?"

"Yes, Master," Lux replied. "I would have stayed longer if I didn't fear losing my life."

Randolph chuckled as he patted his disciple's waist. He was very proud of his disciple and even thought that the Half-Elf was just as handsome as he was when he was in his teenage years.

"I'm sure that the Orcs have already informed Lady Avyanna and Barca about your arrival," Randolph stated. "It is best to not keep them waiting."

Lux nodded and bid his companions farewell for the time being. There were more pressing matters waiting to be taken care of, so he immediately headed to the Orc Chieftain's Residence where the Orcs and Great General Garret were waiting for him.

"Welcome back, Lux," Lady Avyanna greeted. "Barca has told me some of the things that happened in the Capital City of the Haca Dynasty, and I have to say, I wish you had summoned all of us. That way, we could have done more amazing things."

The Orc Chieftain wasn't able to hide the murderous glint in her eyes, which made Lux shudder.

'Fortunately, I only summoned Barca and the Orc Warlords to help me fend off the High-Rankers,' Lux thought. 'If I had summoned the entire Blackrock Clan, a bloodbath would have definitely happened.'

In order to change the topic, the Half-Elf decided to ask how the Great General was doing, which made Lady Avyanna snort.

"He is doing fairly well," Lady Avyanna replied. "Still, I didn't expect that you would negotiate with the Dryad Queen for a vial of the Spring of Life in order to help him recover a bit of his vitality. You're making a very big gamble, Half-Elf. Do you really think he will uphold his end of the bargain with you?"

Lux didn't answer right away because he really didn't know if what he did was right. The only reason he decided to help the former Great General of the Haca Dynasty was because he wanted Garret to become part of his strength.

"I'm indeed unsure of whether he will honor his word," Lux admitted. "But, at the very least, my conscience is clear."

The Orc Chieftain shook her head helplessly before heaving a sigh.

"You are not part of the Blackrock Clan, so I cannot tell you what to do with your life," Lady Avyanna stated. "But, know this. If Garret wishes to threaten my Clan again, I will not hesitate to have him executed. I won't care if you stand in my way. We will not spare his life a second time."

Lux nodded his head in understanding.

"Worry not, Lady Avyanna," Lux replied. "When that day comes, I will not stand in your way. I will even help you kill him. He will make a fine addition to my Covenant."

Lady Avyanna nodded. "Good. I'd hate it if you became my enemy, Lux. "

In one of the rooms inside the Orc Chieftain's Residence…

A man with short, white hair sat cross-legged on the floor in meditation. In the past, he looked as if he was only in his early thirties, but now, he looked as if he was in his early sixties.

His current state was a far cry from his former self, but he was still in better condition compared to the wrinkled old man with clouded eyes that his wife, Sarah, had seen a few days ago.

Lux had negotiated with the Dryad Queen for a few precious drops that came from the Spring of Life, allowing the Great General to regain some of his lost vitality.

Although the Great General's rank had regressed from a High Ranker to that of a C-Ranker, Garret was very thankful that the one who managed to push him into a corner had shown him a great deal of mercy.

Not only did Lux spare his subordinates, but the Half-Elf also helped his family escape from the Capital City of the Haca Dynasty and reunite with him in the Wanid Kingdom.

When he had met up with Lux to negotiate how the war would end, the Half-Elf asked him to prove how sincere he was.

Knowing that he might be imprisoned for life, or worse, executed for his failure when he returned to the Haca Dynasty, Garret promised to become Lux's subordinate if he spared the survivors of the war, as well as save his family from the possible retaliation of his enemies.

Lux had agreed to help him, but the Orcs wanted some assurance. After all, they had lost many of their brethren in the war.

In order to settle this dispute, Garret agreed to surrender all of his Legendary Equipment, including the National Treasure of the Haca Dynasty to the Orcs as compensation for their losses during the war.

But that was not enough.

At the end of the day, Garret was still a High-Ranker, and he posed a significant threat to the people of the Wanid Kingdom.

Even the Dryad Queen, Cornelia, was hesitant to compromise. However, Lux convinced all of them to let the war end with a compromise.

"The Haca Dynasty lost over six million soldiers in the war," Lux stated. "They won't risk starting another campaign anytime soon."

Because of this, the Orcs and the Dryads reluctantly agreed to Lux's conditions.

Garret losing his Rank was part of the compromise, but since Lux had no need for a wrinkled old man who needed to be cared for, he asked the Dryad Queen to give the former Great General a few drops from the Spring of Life in order to regain some of his strength.

Lux almost regretted his decision because the Dryad Queen was a very tough cookie to negotiate with.

She demanded outrageous conditions such as—Lux should give her sisters a child each, making the Half-Elf start to sweat buckets.

If he really were to do that, if Iris didn't kill him, her Father, Alexander, certainly would, and this was a bad ending he didn't want to become a reality.

After many negotiations, the Dryad Queen finally relented and gave Lux what he needed in return for two favors that she would ask of him in the future.

The Half-Elf, of course, negotiated that making babies could not be part of either favor. The last thing he wanted to do was to become an irresponsible father who sowed his seeds on seedbeds that only wished to have strong members of their race.
