Chapter 172 The Fleet Departs
Kana still looked confused, as she didn't understand how could she hear Rya as if she was standing near them, but she stopped paying attention to that, after she heard "I'm always with Aster".
"So, you are like big brother's guardian angel sister Rya?".
Aster patted Kana's head while laughing.
"That's a good way to see it Kana, your sister Rya is like an "angel" in some aspects hahaha".
Rya sighed.
"What are you saying to this little girl, you pervert of a master", she thought.
Leaving aside that little interaction between Rya and the new members of the family, the rest of the travel went on without any surprises, by the time they arrived at the capital city all the others that will be going to war were already waiting for them.
The incredible scene of at least 40 big spaceships and hundreds of personal sized ones floating above the clouds at the capital city was quite something, their spaceship stopped advancing once they reached the position that was reserved for the guardian of the borders at the right side of the royal spaceship.
Sarina's communication talisman illuminated and Sylas's voice made its way to everyone's ears a moment later.
"Lass, we are ready to go, I will stay with Orson, you and my son in law can command the Luonto's sword this time hahaha".
Sarina shook her head, "I'm never listening the end of this", she thought.
Aster laughed.
"Don't worry old man, they will be safe with me, speaking of that… tell all the middle and peak star tribulation cultivators to leave their spaceships only after I give the signal, okay?".
Sylas nodded.
"Got it, but what would be the signal?".
Aster smiled.
"You will know when you see it, also leave a space at the right side of your spaceship for the one that is arriving by east, there are two mortal transcending realm cultivators inside after all".
Apparently, Eric and the people from the barbarian heart sect took more time than it was expected to go pick up Brig, because they were only arriving now, Aster took out his communication talisman and as expected Eric was calling him.
"Sorry brother we are late, did we miss something?".
"Nah, we were just preparing to depart, ahh right, tell everyone above the middle stage star tribulation realm to not leave the spaceship until I say so".
Eric was about to answer when a thunderous voice took over the conversation.
"Who are you talking with Eric brat, is it the king of this planet or whatever?".
Eric sighed; he presented the new voice to Aster.
"Brother that is my martial uncle Adrian Baunt, a peak mortal transcending cultivator".
Aster nodded.
"I'm Eric's friend, Aster Drage".
Adrian laughed.
"Nothing like a good fight to get to meet someone, it's a pleasure kid hahaha".
Kana was amused by the conversation, "Brother was right… it is truly a whole sect full to the brim with people like his friend".
The spaceship of the captain of the royal guard moved aside to give its spot to Eric, at the petition of the king of course, Ritz took the offer and now the there were four flagships, two of Luonto, the one in which Aster and the girls were travelling and the one from the Barbarian Heart sect.
Sylas gave the order and the fleet started advancing towards west, for the first time in thousands of years an all-out war was about to explode in Prasil, a war which will be carved on the story of this galaxy because only one of the two continents will survive.
The fleet was advancing at high speed, the Royal capital was sealed and the spaceships were floating far from the view of the citizens, so no information could escape from there for the time being, but the sooner they arrived at Riga the better.
Aster gave Sylas and Eric one last message.
"There will be at least one genesis manifestation and a sea of knowledge cultivators at Riga, and that's without taking into the account the ones from the sand mountain sect, I'm not a strategist so old man you are in charge of the army, Eric you and the elders from your sect will face the sand mountain sect people, and I will take care of the corrupted… we don't know how much those guys have prepared for this day so keep your eyes open and don't die okay".
"The same goes for you kid, you still have to marry my daughter so don't you dare bite the dust before that hahaha".
"Thanks for the information brother, my master couldn't come here, but he sent a little "welcome gift", for the sand mountain sect so leave them to us".
Soon the spaceships left behind the continental mass and started flying above the ocean, while Kana was marveled at the scene of the sea outside of the windows of the spaceship, Aster stood in front of the girls to give some instructions, because he suddenly realized this was going to be the first time his family will fight in a large-scale battle.
In past years he fought in "little quarrels", similar to the fight against Robert in the capital, with Alice and Aria, Lilia was there to supervise them, but she never participated in a fight with hem… until now.
"Ladies, this will be our first battle all together, unfortunately the twins won't be participating this time, but it's not going to last that much anyway".
Aster pointed at Alice and Aria before he continued with his plan.
"Sis you and Aria will fight as a team, with Aria using her ice for defense and Rigel's flame for offense, the same goes for you sis, you have the paragon body now and you can also fly since you broke through so just go wild with destruction like always".
Alice stuck her tongue at her brother.
"What wild, I'm a refined noble young lady, don't forget you are technically the prince of a heavenly quadrant but that also means I'm a princess humph".
Alice chuckled.
"Thanks to heavens Aster doesn't have any interest in administrating a heavenly quadrant, what would happen to those poor people if someone like you who doesn't even put her used clothes on the laundry basket where to be in charge of them".
After living in the same room for more than three years, the girls already knew the bad habits of each other, the only problem was that the only one with such things… was Alice, Lilia and Aria were quite organized, most of the time they were naked in the bedroom or meditating.
Alice on the other hand had to do exercise since she was cultivating in the body path, it had its advantages since she was Aster's sparring partner, but after such intense sessions of training they ended up all sweated, Aster left the dirty clothes in the basket but Alice had the habit to just threw them in the floor of the bedroom.
Aster laughed, despite the fact that those two were always discussing, they were as close as real sisters now.
"Sarina you and me will fight against the members of the Riga's royal family, mom I leave the king to you… but don't fight here, I want Prasil to stay in one piece after all".
Lilia smiled, she knew why her son was saying this, the reason as to why she never interfered in the fights back at the Azure sky planet was because just a normal attack from her made the whole planet shake, the scene of the sky trembling made all the natives think the world was going to end.
"I'm going to need a reward later hehehe, you know that controlling my strength is quite hard darling ♥".
Aster sighed, "That's why genesis manifestation cultivators and above aren't allowed to visit low ranked star clusters… they are walking disasters", he thought.
Aster felt a little tug on his left sleeve, he turned to see what was happening and he saw Kana's hopeful expression.
"Big brother I also want to participate in the fight… I'm also a part of the family after all right?".
Aster smiled.
"Of course, you might not be able to fly yet, but you actually have quite an important role, you see those your sisters Alice and Aria tend to argue over anything whenever they are alone, so you will be in the same team as them and make sure they pay attention to their surrounds, okay?".
Kana nodded.
"Yes, I will watch sister Alice and sister Aria's back ♥".
Aster patted her head.
"Good girl, we haven't had the chance since things keep happening, but once we deal with all this, we will arrange a little training so I can teach you how to do cool things with a sword just like me".
While Kana enjoyed Aster's pats, the door of the room where Mylene was recovering opened and she left followed by Eris.
Unlike before, those changed their outfits, Eris was wearing a red and black dress which was decorated with roses at the area of the chest and the skirt, her head was still adorned by her characteristic crown, Mylene on the other hand was now using a pink and white long dress and apparently wearing a crown was a thing back at their native places because she was also using one.
Eris saw Aster's smiling expression and she felt a bit shy, but she feigned ignorance and just sat with the other girls, Mylene on the other hand stood behind them and waited for their roles in the upcoming battle to be assigned.
"Good timing you two, Eris you will help me and Sarina to eliminate the members of the Riga's royal family, Mylene my previous order stands, your job is to keep safe all of them… if you have a good performance, I will give you another bottle of elixir later".
Eris and Mylene nodded, now everyone had their roles and it was perfect because traces of continental mass started appearing in front of the fleet which meant they were about to arrive at Riga.
