Chapter 418: The Night Before The War

The night was thick with anticipation as Lyan made his way quietly through the camp. The Central Army of Astellia was a hive of activity as the soldiers made their final preparations for the coming conflict. Fires flickered across the encampment, casting dancing shadows over the rows of tents. The clang of armor, hushed conversations, and the occasional whinny of a restless horse filled the air. Despite the bustle, Lyan moved unseen, his steps almost soundless as he slipped between the tents.

He had left the guest estate hours ago, slipping out when he was sure all of his companions had finally fallen asleep. They were exhausted from the long night they had shared, and he had made sure each of them was comfortable before he left. They deserved their rest. As for Lyan, he couldn’t sleep. There was too much on his mind—the plans, the preparations, the unknowns that waited for them on the battlefield. He needed to see it all, to take it in, to be certain that they were truly ready.

He moved closer to the front of the camp, where the elite units were stationed. The sight of the soldiers moving about, organizing supplies and double-checking equipment, gave him a strange sense of calm. They were ready, or at least as ready as they could be. He watched them from the shadows, his eyes sharp, his senses on high alert. He wasn’t supposed to be there—he was meant to be resting like everyone else—but Lyan had always found it difficult to let go of control. He had to see things for himself.

Suddenly, he felt a hand grab his arm, pulling him sharply to the side. Lyan reacted instinctively, his hand reaching for the dagger at his waist, but he stopped himself as he caught sight of who it was. Alina, her eyes glinting in the dim light, her lips curved in a mischievous smile.

"What are you doing here?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Lyan blinked, caught off guard. He hadn’t sensed her approaching, which meant she must have been watching him for some time. Before he could answer, he felt another hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Xena, her face lit with the same playful expression, and behind her was Belle, her arms crossed over her chest, a small smile tugging at her lips.

"You’re not the only one who can’t sleep, you know," Xena said, her voice barely louder than a breath. "We saw you sneaking out and figured we’d join you."

Lyan let out a sigh, shaking his head slightly. He should have known—these three were always the ones who seemed to know what he was up to, no matter how careful he was. He gave them a wry smile. "You should be resting," he said, his voice gentle but firm. "We have a long day ahead of us."

Alina shrugged, her eyes meeting his. "So do you," she said, her tone softening. "But we all know that sleep doesn’t come easily on nights like this."

Belle nodded, her gaze drifting towards the bustling camp. "We’ve all been through this before, Lyan. We know what it’s like—waiting, wondering if everything we’ve done will be enough. It’s hard to just lay down and close your eyes."

Lyan was silent for a moment, his eyes moving over each of them. He could see the exhaustion in their eyes, but also the determination. They were right—sleep was difficult on nights like this. He nodded, letting out a small sigh. "Alright," he said, his voice barely audible. "But let’s not cause any trouble."

Xena grinned, her eyes glinting with mischief. "No promises," she said, her tone light.

Alina rolled her eyes, but there was a smile on her lips. She gestured towards a nearby tent, one that was unoccupied, its flap open and inviting. "Come on," she said. "Let’s sit for a while."

The four of them moved silently to the tent, slipping inside and pulling the flap closed behind them. The interior was dim, the only light coming from the flickering campfires outside, their glow seeping through the thin fabric. Lyan sank down onto one of the bedrolls, letting out a long breath. Alina, Xena, and Belle settled around him, their presence a comforting reminder that he wasn’t alone in this.

For a moment, none of them spoke. The silence stretched between them, filled with unspoken thoughts, unvoiced fears. Lyan looked at each of them in turn, his heart swelling with a mixture of gratitude and affection. These women had chosen to follow him, to stand by his side no matter what. They were more than just his companions—they were his family.

Alina broke the silence, her voice soft. "Do you remember the first time we did this? Back when we were just mercenaries, with no titles, no responsibilities beyond the next job?"

Lyan smiled, a soft chuckle escaping his lips. "I remember," he said. "We had just taken a contract to clear out a bandit camp. We ended up staying up all night, too restless to sleep. That was fun times after the goblin subjugation,"

Xena laughed quietly, her eyes lighting up with the memory. "And we spent the whole night talking about the most ridiculous things. What we would do if we were rich, where we would go if we could go anywhere." She shook her head, her smile softening. "Seems like a lifetime ago."

Belle nodded, her eyes thoughtful. "A lot has changed since then," she said, her voice barely a whisper. "But some things never do."

Lyan looked at her, his gaze softening. He reached out, his hand finding hers, giving it a gentle squeeze. "You’re right," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "No matter what happens, as long as we’re together, we can face anything."

Alina smiled, her eyes glistening with emotion. "That’s right," she said, her voice steady. "No matter what comes, we’ll face it together."

The tent fell silent again, the weight of their words settling between them. Lyan closed his eyes for a moment, letting the warmth of their presence wash over him. He knew that the days ahead would be filled with challenges, that the battle they were about to face would test them in ways they couldn’t yet imagine. But he also knew that they were ready—that they had each other, and that was enough.

Xena let out a soft sigh, her head resting against Lyan’s shoulder. "Maybe we should try to get some sleep after all," she said, her voice tinged with exhaustion.

Lyan chuckled, his arm wrapping around her, pulling her close. "Maybe," he agreed, his voice gentle. "Just for a little while."

Alina and Belle moved closer, the four of them leaning against each other, their bodies relaxing as the exhaustion of the day finally caught up with them. The tent was quiet, the soft sounds of their breathing the only noise. Outside, the camp was still alive with activity, the preparations for war continuing. But inside the tent, there was a sense of peace—a moment of calm before the storm.

Until a hand reach to his crotch.

He caught it. And he tickled it skillfully.

"Hahaha! Stop!"

It’s Xena.

He tickled her armpit, making her squirm and laugh uncontrollably.

"Aaaahhh! Hahaha! Stop!"

"No. Not until you stop teasing me."

"Fine, fine, stop, please, hahaha!"

Lyan stopped, but he is grinning. "I know you guys are tired, but you’re still full of energy."

The three girls pouted. Belle said, "Well, we can’t help it, we want to have some fun before the battle."

"Isn’t it too risky? What if someone found out?" asked Lyan.

The three girls giggled. Alina said, "We don’t mind, we’re already unofficially married to you."

"And we want to be close to you," added Xena.

"Come on, Lyan, let’s enjoy ourselves," said Belle.

Lyan sighed. "Alright, but we have to be quiet and careful."

The three girls nodded eagerly. Lyan started to undress, and the girls followed suit. They were soon naked and aroused.

"Okay, one by one," Lyan said as first, he held Belle.

Belle immediately jumped on him and kissed him deeply, her tongue exploring his mouth. Lyan kissed her back, his hands roaming over her body. He cupped her breasts and squeezed them gently, making her moan. He then slid his hand down to her pussy and began to finger her.

"Aaaahh! Lyan!" she moaned loudly, her hips bucking.

"Shh, quiet," Lyan reminded her with a smirk.

"Sorry," Belle whispered, her face flushed with arousal. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer to her.

Meanwhile, Alina and Xena watched with lustful eyes. They were touching themselves as they watched their lovers have sex. They couldn’t wait for their turn.

After fingering her, Lyan entered her. Belle gasped and moaned as she felt his big cock penetrate her. He started to thrust in and out of her, his cock stretching her pussy. She clung to him tightly, her nails digging into his back. She was so turned on that she could hardly contain herself.

"Fuck me, Lyan! Fuck me!" she urged him, her voice hoarse.

Lyan obliged, fucking her harder and faster. He felt her pussy tighten around his cock as she came. Her body trembled with pleasure, her moans filling the tent. Lyan continued to fuck her through her orgasm, making her scream with ecstasy.

Finally, he reached his climax and shot his cum into her. Belle gasped as she felt his hot cum fill her up. They both lay there, panting and sweaty, their bodies entwined.

"Wow," Belle breathed, her eyes wide. "That was incredible."

Lyan smiled. "I’m glad you enjoyed it."

Alina and Xena were next. They took turns kissing Lyan and touching him. Then, they took turns sucking his meat rod. Alina went first, taking him deep into her throat. She bobbed her head up and down, her tongue swirling around his shaft.

"Ahhh, Alina, that feels so good," Lyan groaned, his hand on her head.

Alina looked up at him with a seductive gaze. She continued to suck him, her lips tight around his cock. She loved the taste of him, the feel of his hardness in her mouth. She was so aroused that she could hardly wait for him to enter her.

Xena then took her turn. She took his cock in her mouth and sucked him hard. Her tongue flicked over the head of his cock, making him moan. She loved the way he tasted, the way his cock felt in her mouth. She couldn’t get enough of him.

Finally, Lyan couldn’t take it anymore. He pulled out of Xena’s mouth and pushed her down on the bedroll. He entered her roughly, making her cry out with pleasure. He fucked her hard and fast, his cock pounding into her. Xena screamed with ecstasy, her body writhing beneath him.

"Yes! Yes! Give it to me!"
