Although the whip tore some of her clothes, it did not lead to any exposure of her private parts. Instead, most of the exposure was on Norn’s waist, back, slender arms, and long legs.

Chapter 291 The Return of the Flame Dragon Mother

Under Lorraine’s torture, Norn’s original screams of pain had turned into weak gasps. Even though the thin whip created ripples on her body and left red marks, Norn did not move at all, like a lifeless piece of dead pork.

Looking at the horrific flogging scene before their eyes, and thinking of the even more terrible fates that might await them, many of the survivors had already developed a faint desire to die.

Now, the only thing that can support them to continue to survive and hold on to hope is probably the Sword Saint who may return at any time.

At this moment, the person who could empathize most with the experience of the second princess Norn was probably Grey Joy, who had had an ear torn off by Norn.

Originally, he thought that Lorraine’s appearance this time was due to his greed and possessiveness for Nollen’s beauty.

But now it seems that even Norn, who already has amazing beauty and a beautiful figure as a natural weapon, can be cruelly whipped as a punishment. This shows the indifference and hard-heartedness of this heroic goblin.

And looking at the state of Nollen, he is almost out of breath, and it is obvious that his delicate skin and flesh can’t withstand much longer of the torture.

Grey Joy was clearly aware that as the mastermind who instigated others to assassinate Lorraine, he would inevitably suffer severe punishment.

Lorraine was so cruel to the second princess, Norren, so what kind of torture would be waiting for him? Grey Joy couldn’t even imagine it.

Although the injury on his torn ear was temporarily healed after a simple bandage by the Knight of the Guard, the constant stabbing pain was like sharp needles piercing his heart.

The pain was unbearable for him, as if every breath brought new pain.

Grey Joy knew very well that he had always been a spoiled nobleman and had never experienced real hardship and torture.

Compared with those battle-hardened and indomitable warriors, he seemed extremely fragile.

When faced with the impending torture, he even doubted whether he could endure it, let alone be as strong and unyielding as the Sword Saint.

Thinking of this, fear surged into his heart like a tide, making him tremble.

At this moment, Grey Joy began to regret his impulsive behavior.

He regretted why he had not thought it through and why he had not considered the consequences.

Now, everything is too late. He can only pray silently, hoping that the Sword Saint can return as soon as possible and save them from the dire straits.

However, as time passed, the Sword Saint still did not appear, and he became more and more anxious.

Grey Joy was certain that when it was his turn, Lorraine might not simply whip Princess Norn a few times like he was doing now.

The hateful goblin who ate his ear had been staring at him from the beginning. It looked as if he wanted to grab him and bite him hard a few more times!

Thinking of the possibility that he would be eaten alive by these dirty and ugly goblins, and even suffer great torture before dying, Grey Joy could not help but shudder in his heart.

Recalling his identity as Prince Grey, fear finally overcame reason, and Grey Joy couldn’t help but plead with Lorraine who was still beating Norn:

“Your Highness, the clever Goblin, perhaps you don’t quite understand the identities of me and the princess.”

“Her father is the King of the Kingdom of Giorar, who commands hundreds of towns of all sizes, such as Maple Leaf Town. Our Gray Family is next door to the Kingdom of Giorar, and my father also commands hundreds of thousands of human troops.”

“Your Excellency the Goblin, I believe that with your intelligence and wisdom, you must be able to think that if the second princess who is most favored by the King of the Kingdom of Giorar and I, the little prince of the Kingdom of Grey, were to die here, then the two kings would definitely send the most powerful army to the Shadow Forest to encircle and suppress you and your tribe!”

“So, can you let us go for the sake of the Giorar family and the Gray family?”

Hearing Grey Joy’s earnest request, Lorraine simply glanced at him indifferently, seeming somewhat unmoved.

Lorraine had naturally thought of the terrible consequences that would come to the two major human kingdoms if he touched the second princess Norn, who was being whipped and trained by him, and Prince Grey, who was now wagging his tail and begging for mercy like a humble dog.

Grey Joy didn’t even think about why Lorraine had been dragging his feet until now and not killing this guy and the group of survivors?

Aren’t we just like them, waiting to see who will win between the Sword Saint and the Flame Dragon Mother?

The reason why Lorraine has not killed Prince Grey, who is chattering like a toad and dares to instigate others to kill him, is simply because this guy and the second princess Norn, who is being humiliated in public by him, are the best hostages when facing the Sword Saint.

What did they think he was waiting for?

Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn’t help but look up and glance at the cloudless sky.

Soon, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Lorraine put away the whip in his hand and walked calmly to the second princess who had completely lost consciousness.

He raised his hand and easily picked up the second princess, whose eyes were dazed and body was limp, from the ground as if he was dragging a dead dog.

This scene caused the surrounding goblins to cheer.

They seemed excited and satisfied with the scene.

Amid cheers, Lorraine took the second princess into the hotel where he and Frost Dance had stayed before.

At this point, the outcome of the battle has been settled.

Lorraine felt like she could finally enjoy a proper meal.

However, for Grey Joy, his mood became heavier.

Although his face did not reveal much expression, his heart was filled with malicious thoughts.

However, no matter what, Greyjoy could not stop Lorraine’s actions.

He could only watch Lorraine take the second princess away, enter the hotel, and begin to enjoy the fruits of his victory.

At this moment, Grey Joy’s heart was filled with helplessness and resentment.

After Lorraine walked into the hotel, she closed the door and shut out the noise from the outside world.

He put the second princess on the bed, then sat quietly beside the bed, waiting for her to wake up.

The whole room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere, as if foreshadowing that what was about to happen would change everything.

Grey Joy looked at Lorraine’s back and cursed in his heart: “This damn guy! How could he be so cold-blooded and heartless!” He originally thought that his plea could move Lorraine and change the situation.

But reality slapped him hard in the face, making him realize that all his efforts were in vain.

It’s probably just that even if he died, Lorraine, the heroic goblin, and his tribe would not be much better off.

After all, what he said before was not false. If a princess of a country and a prince of a foreign country died at the same time in the tiny Maple Leaf Town, even if it was only for the so-called dignity of the royal family, the final reckoning would be inevitable.

Even Grey Joy at that time was still thinking that if he could escape by chance, even if the Grey Kingdom did not intend to investigate further, he would bring his army to settle accounts thoroughly.

But how could this heroic goblin, who seemed sinister and cunning, and even smarter than humans, dare to face the impending encirclement and suppression from the two kingdoms so calmly?

Even after taking a look at the sky, this damn abominable guy actually still had the mind to grab the second princess Norn, who was like a dead dog, and take her to the hotel to insult her in the most extreme way?

What is he looking at?

Thinking of this, Grey Joy couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

Soon, he became hopeless and fell into the deepest despair.

Because, in the distant sky, a huge figure was spreading its wings. Although its body was covered with blood and sword marks of varying depths, it was only the Fiery Dragon Mother who finally returned to Maple Leaf Town!

………………

Chapter 292: The Dragon Leaves, the Sword Saint Disappears

Originally, under Lorraine’s whipping and torture, the second princess Norn, in addition to countless humiliations and despair, also had a raging rage deep in her heart, as well as a hint of comfort and pleasure that she herself did not even notice.

Just like Grey Joy, who had one ear torn off by Lorraine, and almost all the other adventurers in Maple Leaf Town, the reason why they had no intention of fighting to the death even when they were captured by the army of monsters led by this mysterious heroic goblin was because deep down in their hearts they always felt that they still had a way out, a possibility.

As long as the Sword Saint who can easily kill giant dragons and even the Flame Dragon Mother is no match for her successfully returns, then no matter how smart or eloquent this heroic goblin who looks almost exactly like a human is, he will probably be defeated by just one sword in front of the Sword Saint.

Even the goblin army that seemed to have mastered extremely advanced tactics was the same.

No matter how smart Lorraine is, no matter how powerful the tactics of this goblin army are, can they prove that they can defeat a group of ferocious dragons?

The Sword Saint will do.

This is what the saying goes: force can defeat skill.

However, what these survivors who were driven here did not know was that not only were they waiting, but Lorraine was also waiting for the return of the Sword Saint.

Otherwise, apart from the second princess Norn who was still of some use to him, why would Lorraine go to so much trouble to have the goblin army drive these people to this small square?

It was simply that Lorraine felt that if the worst happened, he would still have enough hostages in his hands to negotiate with the Sword Saint.

Of course, the final facts proved that the development of things still did not escape Lorraine’s control.

The Flame Dragon Mother returns seriously injured, and the Sword Saint is nowhere to be found.

Lorraine was not worried at all about whether the Sword Saint would die at the hands of the seriously injured Flame Dragon Mother who had returned.

Apart from anything else, the divine blessing of the Sword Saint alone would not allow her to be killed so easily by the Flame Dragon Mother.

According to the battle simulations that Lorraine had silently deduced many times in his mind, the result would probably be that the Flame Dragon Mother would be able to win by chance thanks to the excellent physique and strong recovery ability of the dragon clan. The Sword Saint might be seriously injured, but there was still a high probability that she could escape temporarily.

Although the Flame Dragon Mother apparently won the game despite being seriously injured, she must have clearly understood that if the fight continued like this and both sides started to fight for their lives, the outcome would be clear.

It’s just that the Sword Saint was more seriously injured, and she was very likely to die at the hands of the Libra sword with a somewhat strange shape.

Besides, the ultimate goal of the Flame Dragon Mother leading a group of dragons to Maple Leaf Town this time was just to steal food from humans.

Her death was a small matter. If all the dragons she brought out were killed in this small Maple Leaf Town, even if the dragon clan launched a crazy revenge against humans afterwards, it would not be able to make up for the loss of these dozens of dragons.

With the dragon clan’s pitifully weak breeding ability, this is enough to cause serious damage to the dragon clan.

It was precisely based on these considerations that the Flame Dragon Mother did not give her all in the battle with the Sword Saint, but simply relied on her strong body and powerful recovery ability to fight a war of attrition, and finally she was able to return to Maple Leaf Town seriously injured.

After returning to Maple Leaf Town, the current situation in Maple Leaf Town made the Angry Flame Dragon Mother feel a little more at ease.

An army of inferior goblins appeared out of nowhere, and not only drove all the remaining humans to gather in the small square in the center of Maple Leaf Town, but also completely took over the brutal battle between humans and dragons, thus preventing the dragons, which had been more than half slaughtered by the Sword Saint, from suffering any further losses.

The leader of this monster army was obviously very smart. He not only helped clean up the battlefield and bury the bodies of the dead dragons, but also worked hard to help snatch all human food such as cattle and sheep.

Seeing this scene, the rage of the Flame Dragon Mother gradually subsided, and she even had some good feelings towards the leader of the goblin army who was very good at reading people’s cues.

However, when she saw the remaining injured dragons gathered together and guarding the looted human food, the Flame Dragon Mother couldn’t help but feel flames of anger rising in her heart.

This time, in this small Maple Leaf Town, more than half of the dozens of dragons that came for the autumn hunt were killed or injured. After returning to Dragon Island, even if they brought back a lot of food, it would probably cause quite a stir.

And now, they had to quickly take the food and leave before the seriously injured Sword Saint who escaped reappeared.

Otherwise, I’m afraid many waves will arise out of nowhere.

As for the bodies of those dragons that had lost most of their bodies, it was obvious that the group of dragons, which had lost more than half of their members, was no longer able to bring the bodies of their companions back to Dragon Island.

After much thought, the Flame Dragon Mother could only temporarily allow the discerning goblin army to help bury the bodies of the dead dragons.

Spreading her wings and flying over Maple Leaf Town, the Flame Dragon Mother let out a loud dragon roar.

Accompanied by two dragon roars at very short intervals, the remaining giant dragons, covered in blood, roared in unison!

Their voices were deafening, echoing throughout Maple Leaf Town. The blood energy of these dragons became stronger and stronger, like a burning flame.

They spread their huge wings, tightly grasped the huge package that the tiny monsters had carefully packed, and then flew away.

The giant dragons followed closely behind the Flame Dragon Mother, forming a spectacular sight.

The people in Maple Leaf Town Square heard the dragon’s roar and looked up, staring at the group of giant dragons in the sky.

They had been looking forward to the Sword Saint’s return as a king, but the scene before them made them realize that their expectations might have been dashed.

The dragons took away all the human food in Maple Leaf Town. Even though more than half of them were killed or injured, they still returned with a full load.

The survivors were filled with disappointment and helplessness; their expectations for the Sword Saint had ultimately come to nothing.

However, faced with reality, they can only accept this cruel fact silently.

After Prince Grey, because of the special posture and perspective in which Lorraine held her, the second princess Norn was the second to see the Flame Dragon Mother returning seriously injured. At this time, the flames of rage and revenge in her heart had completely extinguished, and instead, she was filled with pain all over her body, as well as panic and worry about an uncertain future.

She could no longer imagine what kind of humiliation was waiting for her next.

And the idea that anyone could save them from these hateful goblins seemed to have become a luxury.

………………

Chapter 293 Punishment in the Hotel

Although Lorraine did not focus all his attention on the change in the mentality of the second princess Norn, he could easily guess what was going on by deliberately letting Norn see the return of the Flame Dragon Mother.

Of course, this was also one of the steps he took to train and tame the extremely proud Second Princess.

Although the second princess Norn is actually his sister-in-law, she is also the biological sister of his first woman, Freya, the first princess of the Kingdom of Giorlar.

But an enemy is an enemy and it is impossible for him to suddenly become a friend.

Even if the second princess Norn knew at this moment that her elder sister, the former first princess, had become his woman, I’m afraid her heart would be full of ridicule and sarcasm, and she would not reconcile with Lorraine just like that.
