Sordil's Punishment

"Your Majesty, what exactly should we do?"

Belmod did not immediately answer the Prime Minister's question, but instead paced back and forth. After pondering for a while, His Majesty the King spoke, "Judging from the current situation, all we need to do is help those guys from the Western Continent defend against Sordil's surprise attack and prevent them from being driven out of Ishgar!"

"But Your Majesty, the Evil Dragon of the Western Continent are now starving and devoid of fighting spirit due to Sordil's scorched-earth tactics. How can they possibly withstand Sordil's sneak attack?"

"Hmm! That's a problem! Wait! Given how dire the situation is, the Evil Dragon of the Western Continent should have immediately evacuated Ishgar or sought help from their main base. Why haven't they made a move yet?"

"Your Majesty, you are unaware of the fact that the Evil Dragon of the Western Continent have already requested reinforcements from the main camp, but their relief team was completely annihilated by the assault squad led by Sordil. Even the food brought back by the relief team was transported back by Sordil and his men!"

Upon hearing the Prime Minister mention the plundering of military provisions, Belmod suddenly remembered that the Black Robe had brought it up not long ago when delivering intelligence, but at the time, her attention had been focused on Sordil, and she hadn't paid it any mind. Thinking of this, Belmod suddenly had a way to help the Evil Dragon of the Western Continent, so she whispered in the Prime Minister's ear, "Prime Minister, later you do this, and then this and that..."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will make the arrangements immediately!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

Fostadu, Conference Hall

After placing the quill pen on the map, Sordil turned to Mevajena and Murellia, who were sitting to his right, and asked, "Well? Did you find out anything useful?"

Mevajena and the other woman shook their heads at Sordil, and then Murellia said, "Young Master Sordil, it is my incompetence that I could not eliminate him before the Black Robe could send the message into the palace!"

Sordil reached out and helped Murellia up, gently patting her back as he comforted her, "How can this be your fault? It was my negligence that led to this situation, and now you two have had to work so hard for it. I'm so sorry!"

"Don't worry, Sordil, for the sake of my future happiness, I will definitely protect you, my great employer!"

Looking at the serious-looking Mevajena, Sordil teased, "Are we just employer and employee? Nothing more?"

Mevajena glanced at Sordil, then put her arm around his shoulder and said in a seductive voice, "I'd be willing to have another relationship with you, but I don't know if you dare?"

Feeling two fingers sliding against his chest, the big jerk Sordil instantly cowered!

"Hero! Sister! I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Giggle"

Seeing Sordil tearfully confessing his sins, Mevajena burst into laughter, her right hand on Sordil's shoulder repeatedly patting Sordil back with crisp, rhythmic slaps. Murellia, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, also laughed at this farce of a lecherous wolf turning into a docile lamb. The self-reproach and regret that had been weighing on her instantly vanished.

Just then, a blonde girl came from outside the hall after hearing the commotion. Seeing the scene inside, she felt she had missed an important event, and she was filled with regret for being late. However, this regret vanished in an instant, for her purpose in coming was not to watch a play, but to fulfill another important mission.

"Teacher, Uncle Seraf is still waiting for you to deal with him outside the hall, while you are here having a good time. Is this appropriate?"

"Anna, open those double-lidded phoenix eyes of yours wide open and take a good look. Am I, your teacher, having a good time right now? I'm clearly being harassed by Female Rogue!"

Sordil, his face full of exasperation, mentally criticized Anna's unreliable observation skills. However, in order to escape from the clutches of this Female Rogue, Mevajena, he still went along with Anna's words and said, "Well! I myself feel a little ashamed of what I'm doing, so I've decided to leave this paradise and go deal with the Seraf problem!"

Hearing Sordil's emphasized second half of his sentence, Murellia, who had observed the entire scene, laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up, standing hunched over like a bean sprout. As a dragon with a strong sense of justice, Mevajena naturally wouldn't dwell on someone else's mistakes, so as soon as Sordil finished speaking, she released her hand from Sordil body.

Feeling the restraints on him disappear, Sordil didn't dare linger for a moment and immediately ran out of the hall. Of course, as he left, Sordil wouldn't forget the hero who had rescued him from the cage, his devoted little darling, the unreliable, gluttonous, and curious Anna.

"Oh! Teacher, please don't pull my little trick!"

"Teacher, please go easy, it hurts!"

Watching the master and disciple disappear through the gate, the two people in the hall burst into Golden Bell laughter. Wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, Murellia turned to Mevajena and asked, "Sister Mevajena, what would you have done if the young master hadn't backed down just now, but instead said he dared to have other relationships with you?"

Upon hearing Murellia's question, Mevajena's face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence. Then, seemingly both shy and defiant, she said, "If he really dares to say that, then I dare to have another relationship with him!"

Upon receiving Mevajena's reply, Murellia felt a mixture of admiration for her courage, envy for her opportunity, and anger towards her own slow-witted, blockhead-like young master. While the two were lost in their own troubles, Sordil had already dragged Anna outside and placed her before Seraf.

Seeing Seraf kneeling before the gate, Sordil hurriedly went to help him up. However, to everyone's surprise, when Seraf saw Sordil reach out to help him, he desperately tried to back away, repeatedly kowtowing to Sordil while shouting, "Seraf has betrayed my master's trust, leaked his top-secret information, and let the traitor escape! Please punish me, master!"

"Seraf, as I said before, the main responsibility for this matter lies with me. I failed to handle the problem of the traitor properly and was eager to return to the Kingdom of Donagunov to enjoy myself, which led to this consequence!"

After Sordil finished speaking, Seraf stopped kowtowing. He lowered his head and cried out in a sobbing voice, "It was all my fault for being drunk and revealing your secret, Master, which allowed the traitor to escape from Fostadu. All of this has nothing to do with you, Master. Please punish me, Master, or I will have no choice but to atone with my death!"

The moment the word 'sin' left his lips, Seraf drew a short sword from behind him and stabbed it into his abdomen.

"Space Magic: Prison, Imprisonment"

After blocking Seraf's movements, Sordil slapped the short sword out of his hand and then kicked him in the chest.

"Puff"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Seraf's throat, and his body slid along the ground for four or five meters before stopping.

"Cure!"

After Seraf's body came to a stop, Sordil, who had switched to Sky Dragon Mode, flew above him and began to cast Healing Magic to repair his broken sternum and hand bones.

Just as Anna was feeling dizzy from her teacher's antics, Sordil spoke up, "Seraf, didn't you want me to punish you? Fine! Then I'll punish you. You're not allowed to hold a grudge against me for hurting you just now, and you must be loyal to me forever!"

Upon hearing Sordil's punishment, Seraf rose from the ground, tears streaming down his face, and shouted, "Your subordinate thanks you for the punishment, Master!"
