There were a lot of other people dependent on him after all. How could he place importance on this redhead above them all?
But he did not bother breaking Mia’s bubble.
If she wants to remain loyal and faithful to him and if this makes everything between them smoother, then there was nothing wrong with letting her think what she wants.
He did not plan on correcting her. It was mutually beneficial for them this way and the best possible scenario.
“Alright then, I have a few things to take care of. I will meet everyone back at the royal city?”
Liam coughed awkwardly and stroked her head.
However, there wasn’t much time and he was pulled back into the portal, along with the fox.
Mia watched the man disappear speechlessly. “Did he just run away from me?”
She covered her face with her palm and looked around. Luckily there was no one else to see this embarrassment.
She had actually made someone run away… this…
She shook her head, not wanting to think about this anymore, and ran back to Alex.
She cast a few more healing spells on her, helping her regain consciousness. She then helped her quickly log out.
The battle was still not over. So they couldn’t afford to be sitting around and talking now.
After packing up Alex, everyone else returned and started helping the NPCs clear out the other kingdom’s NPCs.
Meanwhile, the other demons on the battlefield were also summoned back, everyone returning back to the nether realm.
The rest of the fight only lasted for a few more minutes and all the NPCs shouted loudly after obtaining victory.
Some of them even lifted up Derek, cheering the person’s strong leadership and command.
Derek, however, was more concerned about other things and did not enjoy the attention.
He quickly bowed and thanked everyone, after that urging them to return back to the royal city as that was Liam’s next command.
They had done the job, and now it was time to collect the rewards!
Back at the nether realm…
Everyone was in even higher spirits compared to the human NPCs. This was because, in this battle, the humans only gained a lot of experience points.
But the demon participants had gained a lot more.
Everyone got a lot of experience points and along with it, they also got a lot of high-quality loot.
The dark elves were unlike orcs or goblins. They were a rich race with sufficient resources and means.
So their drops were very lucrative.
All the demons had gained a lot and thanks to Liam’s strategic placements, there were very few casualties.
The whole city was in a celebratory mood. Liam was also looking forward to the haul.
He too relaxed a little, letting the celebratory mood wash over. Moreover, his two fans currently seemed to be missing in action.
When he returned to the garrison, one of the demons informed him that they exhausted themselves in the process of getting almost the entire garrison summoned to the same spot.
“Should I wake them up, leader?” The demon asked.
And Liam hurriedly raised his hands to stop the guy. “No. No. Not needed at all.”
He wiped the sweat off of his forehead and gave out a few instructions, mainly in terms of collecting and sorting the loot.
After that, he was also about to return to the royal city to go back and talk to the King when suddenly another demon rushed over to him from a distance.
“Leader, leader. Big news!”
“Hmmm?” Liam stopped abruptly. He turned to see a big demon coming at him with panic and anxiety written all over his face.
“Leader!” The demon huffed and panted.
“What is it? Say patiently.” Liam narrowed his eyes and looked at the guy.
