Chapter 373: Embraced by Death

Alice leaned across a bench . She looked calm and relaxed, like she did not put too much effort into skimming the report in her hands . She read quickly, skimming all the reports and making decisions on priority issues . In fact, she had less work than before . Anfey had restored order in Moramatch . They did not have to spend a lot of time and effort on malicious competition at least . Everything seemed to be in order .



"Master . " Kumaraghosha’s voice rose from outside .

"What is it?" Alice asked . Anfey had taken Alice’s advice to take Shinbella with him, and had left Kumaraghosha in Moramatch to protect her . Alice was concerned about having contact with Kumaraghosha . Kumaraghosha seemed to feel it as well . He showed more respect to Alice . Sometimes, respect meant keeping a distance . She did not know if Kumaraghosha did that on purpose, but she was not interested in figuring it out .

"General Hilgy has something urgent to tell you," Kumaraghosha said .

"General Hilgy?" Alice was shocked for a second and stood up immediately . "Please ask him in . Hurry up!"

General Hilgy walked into the yard, and Alice went out to welcome him . Hilgy commanded over 30,000 border guards in Blackania City . Alice dared not show any disrespect . She was surprised to see Hilgy with many armed guards and two wagons quickly fill the yard .

"General Hilgy, what are you…?" Alice asked .

"Master," Hilgy looked up with a bitter smile and tapped on the wagon .

The curtain of the wagon was lifted as a girl as beautiful as Alice, but displaying a different persona, stuck her head out of the wagon . Alice could not help gasping . "Miss Niya . What are you doing here?"

"Alice!" Niya smiled and jumped off the wagon . She looked around and asked quietly, "Where is Suzanna?"

More than a dozen people jumped from the wagon before Alice realized what had happened . Riska, Zubin, Sante, Hagan and other members from Alibaba mercenary group all had come to Moramatch . Alice was stunned and did not know what to say . She knew Moramatch was a dangerous place, so Anfey would never had agreed for them to come here .

"Alice, why are you not talking? Where is Suzanna?" Niya asked again .

"Don’t you know Ms . Suzanna went to Sacred City?" Alice said .

"Didn’t she come back yet?" Niya’s face suddenly changed .

"She would not be back so soon . " Alice had a warm smile on her face . She had to keep them here and contact Anfey as fast as possible . She had no right to manage them, but she had to take care of them, because she would have to take responsibility if anything happened to them . "You guys must be tired . Come on in . Rest a little . "

Niya did not have time to respond to Alice’s hospitality . Instead, she grabbed Alice’s arm . "Alice, what is happening? Are you sure Suzanna is not back yet?"

"I just told you Suzanna went to Sacred City . She would not come back so soon . " Alice noticed something unusual .



"How could it be? She should be here already . She left a half day earlier than us . " Niya looked worried .

"Did you see Ms . Suzanna?" Alice asked in surprise .

"Yes, Suzanna came back to Violet City the day before yesterday, but left that night," Riska said . "Alice, you cannot joke about it . Is Suzanna really not back yet?"


"How could I joke about this?" Alice shook her head with a bitter smile . "I thought Ms . Suzanna has been in Sacred City . "

"Damn, Damn!" Niya was so worried that she stomped on the ground . Suzanna was the most disciplined in Alibaba mercenary group . Of course, this had to do with her training . Unlike others, Suzanna would not change her itinerary unless something unexpected had happened .

Like Niya, Riska and others did not look well . Suzanna was lost, so was the little unicorn . One was Anfey’s wife while the other one was Anfey’s baby . If anything happened to them, they could only imagine how upset and sad Anfey would feel .

"Don’t worry, don’t worry . " Alice tried to comfort them . "Suzanna is a senior swordswoman . Even if something happened, she has the ability to protect herself . Try to think, did Ms . Suzanna say anything to you guys?" Capable people usually take on more responsibility . This made sense . Alice did not only have to control her emotions but also comfort everyone else . However, no one was taking care of Alice .

"Suzanna did not say anything . She said she would come back to Moramatch as fast as possible and then she left," Niya said .



Shally worriedly looked at them and then started crying . Even though she was an experienced swordsgirl, she was also Suzanna’s sister and a spoiled princess . People with different backgrounds and experiences acted differently .

"You guys do not have to worry about it . " Besides Alice, General Hilgy was the most calm one . He said in a low voice, "I am going back to the station right now to prepare a search party . " He was calm, but did not look too good . He knew the price some spy organizations had to pay to protect Suzanna’s mother . Could they let Suzanna walk away without paying anything? Personally, he liked Suzanna . He thought she was a quiet and polite girl . He could not have anything happen to her .

"Thank you, general," Alice said .

"Master, you do not have to thank me . This is my job . " Hilgy waved his hand and walked out with his guards . He had no time to pay attention to courtesies .

"Kumaraghosha!" Alice called .

"Yes . " Kumaraghosha straighten up .

"Tell Stein to take his fourth unit and leave right away . Can you go with them? No matter what it takes, we have to find Ms . Suzanna," Alice said .

"Yes, Master," Kumaraghosha said .

As Alice was giving orders, Suzanna was leaning against a tree, trying to take a breath to recover from losing so much energy . Her hair was messy and dirty, even mixed with some grass and leaves . Suzanna liked to be clean and tidy . She never forgot to clean herself even when she was on the run, which was the reason she had a life-threatening fight with Anfey . However, she really had no time to pay attention to her looks . She could not even sleep .

There were more than a dozen cracks in her upper armor, but the cracks were not long . The armor on her left leg was torn in half, showing her white skin and a red wound . The color contrast made it look scary . The little unicorn quietly lay next to her and licked Suzanna’s wounds .

Magic beasts would fight to protect their own territory . It was inevitable for magic beasts to get hurt . The wounded magic beasts usually would lick their wounds . This was their instinct . From the scientific point of view, there were enzymes in the saliva . These enzymes had a lot of benefits, such as to disinfect and speed up healing . Suzanna did not know any of this, but she found her wound had healed very fast and left no scar . The former effect allowed her to rejoin the battle while the latter allow her to continue to be beautiful . When it was only Suzanna and Anfey together, Anfey usually touched her skin and often complimented her on her skin . She did not want to change the way she looked .

When Suzanna had just entered Transverse Mountain, a few druids stopped her . They were nice at the beginning, trying to invite Suzanna to their house . She knew Bruzuryano, so she did not want to be mean to them . In addition, Suzanna had a good impression of the druids . However, she was worried about Anfey and did not want to go anywhere else . She firmly turned down their invitation . The druids had shown their true colors at the end .

Four of the druids turned into wild wolves, while the other two turned into Wind Wolves to assist the other four druids . A few senior elf shooters hid themselves . This combination left no chance for Suzanna to win this battle . If she fought, she would not be able to counter the attack from every angle . She thought about fleeing, but the arrows the senior elves shot out shattered her escape plan .

Suzanna did not understand why druids would attack her . Weren’t they allies? As a senior swordswoman, she was not afraid of danger, or even death . What bothered her was that she could not pass this warning to Anfey and lost the opportunity to spend the rest of her life with Anfey .

As Suzanna thought there was no chance for her to survive, the angry little unicorn rushed into the battle . A young magic beast did not know how to protect himself or judge how strong the enemies were . However, the little unicorn dare to fight them . He threw himself at the Wild Wolves, protecting Suzanna from their Wind Blades, sharp claws, flying arrows, or anything that could hurt her . He used his weak body to keep death away from Suzanna .

The little unicorn was not strong, but unicorns were the legendary rides of God of Nature and enjoyed high status among the followers of God of nature . Anyone who hurt holy beasts would get cursed by the God of Nature . It was taboo for the followers to hurt unicorns .

Suzanna was experienced in fights, so she grabbed the opportunity to escape . She grabbed the little unicorn and ran out, but prospects were not bright . Druids had strong tracking ability in the forests . They closely chased after her and even cut down the route to Moramatch . She was forced to run north . As a result, she was getting further away from Moramatch .
