Chapter 1102 "Declaration of War (2)"

Pained at her boy's tearful face, Bai Yan almost crumbled if not for her motherly instinct to protect the baby. Leaning down, she gives him a gentle kiss on the forehead: "Xiachen, I'm only going there to access the situation, I will come back for you once I'm done with that, okay?"

The battle hasn't begun yet nor does she know the strength of the enemies, therefore taking her son along would be too risky to take.

“Really?” staring up with sparkling eyes of hope, “Mother is not lying?"

“Of course….” Pressing down the cringing discomfort in her heart, she wraps her boy into a warm hug: "Believe in me, I will come back."

“Okay.” Lowering his little head in thought, it took a moment for him to respond: "I will believe you Mother, I will wait here for you to come pick me up…."

As reluctant as she was, Bai Yan finally releases herself from the kid and turns to her husband: "Let's go Di Cang."

The demon king naturally knew how much his wife disliked the separation, but this must be done. Using his own hug to warm her, he hopes the act would give the woman a peace of mind as they left with the rest of the group.

In the background, Bai Xiachen never moved from the spot as he watched everyone leave. In fact, the light he's been showing in the eye until now has gradually disappeared and has been replaced with a darkness that's only been found several times before!

“Highness…” Dragony nervously gives the boy a tug on the sleeve.

Though the young missy doesn't know what's happening but she's getting rather scared right now. Di Xiao Wan and the other elders had already left to conduct their own business so its just the two kids left in this garden.

Returning to normal after that brief lapse: “Dragony, did you not say you want to follow Mother too? Since Mother won't take us then we can just tail them from the back in secret."

s.h.i.+ning with light in the eye over the suggestion: “Can we really?"

“Of course, I can't be at ease if I'm not by Mother's side. We will sneak quietly past everyone so the elders won't notice. If they find out then they will not let us leave."

If they won't let me go then I can just sneak around from the back. What they don't know won't hurt.

……

Border city.

He Ling (a slave) and others like him have long gotten wind of Bai Yan's coming so their group were already waiting since early morning. And sure enough, their efforts were soon rewarded with the familiar figures appearing in their line of sight.

“Mistress, King, you’re finally here.” the slave says with excitement in the voice.

At the same time, the demons and demonic beasts gathered here are also waiting by the city outskirt.

“Greeting to the king and queen!" Their voices powerful and resonating with power.

Supporting his wife as they land, Di Cang first scanned the surroundings before speaking: “How are the preparations?”

“Sire, we have finished most of the preparations and only need your order to begin the attack."

“Good, we will begin to move once nightfall comes!"

“Yes Sire!” The demons kneeled again and respectfully complied.

“Furthermore, go prepare a separate yard for my wife, no one is allowed to disturb her while there's nothing of importance."

“Yes, Sire.” They answered again but with less vigor than before.

Everything done, Di Cang immediately turned back to his wife, those supporting hands careful and nervous.
