Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 206: Chapter 124: Barbarian High Priest, Ruthless Conquest!

"Just pledging loyalty is not enough; I need a marriage alliance with your Barbarian Race."

David’s gaze fell upon the High Priestess Witch.

The Barbarian High Priestess stood in front of the altar, exuding an indescribable aura.

Her figure was tall and resilient, her skin a bronze hue, and her long black hair cascaded like a waterfall.

Her hair was adorned with various feathers and small ornaments made of animal bones, sparkling under the sunlight, giving off a primitive and mysterious feeling.

The High Priestess’ facial features were distinct, weathered yet still strikingly beautiful; her high nose bridge and tightly pursed lips revealed the uniqueness of a woman from afar.

She wore a robe woven from animal skins and grass, embellished with various gems, shells, and metal pieces that rattled, adding a sacred aura.

His gaze unabashedly swept across her, speaking in an indifferent tone words that infuriated all Barbarians, "I need you to begin a marriage alliance!"

"Me?"

The High Priestess suddenly widened her eyes.

She never expected Duke Frost Wolf to make such a request.

But she soon fell silent.

A marriage alliance is indeed a quick way for two forces to accept each other.

However, Duke Frost Wolf desired her, the Barbarian High Priestess, who held special significance for the Barbarian Race.

"If you want a marriage alliance, I can replace the High Priestess."

A Priestess stepped forward, and seeing this, other Priestesses also came forward.

But David was only interested in the Witch, focusing solely on the High Priestess willing to sacrifice for the Barbarian Race.

Just as David anticipated.

These Barbarian leaders and High Priestess were willing to sacrifice for the Barbarian Race.

Now, as long as the High Priestess agreed to become his woman, she could secure the future for the Barbarian Race, and she had no reason to refuse.

"Alright."

The High Priestess spoke in a husky voice.

She realized that her marriage with Duke Frost Wolf could strengthen relations between the Barbarian Race and Frost Wolf Clan.

If she could birth heirs with Barbarian blood for the Frost Wolf Clan, the Barbarian Race’s future would be more secure.

Although the Barbarian leaders knew this was the best choice, they couldn’t help but change their expressions.

"Sound the horn, let everyone return." The High Priestess spoke in an indisputable tone.

Soon, the retreat horn sounded.

Though unsure what happened, the Barbarian soldiers chose to retreat.

On David’s side, the Knight Order finally charged forward.

Their eyes fell on Lord Duke and the Barbarian High Priestess.

They witnessed part of the battle and could roughly judge that Lord Duke and the Barbarians had reached an agreement.

However, what happened next surprised those knights.

They saw Lord Duke take the High Priestess by the hand, leading her to the Ghost Wolf Beast, then lifted her onto it.

What’s going on?

Lord Duke actually took the Barbarian High Priestess away?

And although the Barbarian leaders seemed angry, no one stopped him.

Of course, without the power of the High Priestess, these Barbarian leaders lacked the strength to resist even if they wanted to.

Since six Barbarians failed to ambush David, this battle ended in the Barbarian Race’s defeat.

The High Priestess let Duke Frost Wolf hold her, a complex expression on her face.

If Duke Frost Wolf could truly give the Barbarian Race a place to survive, then their aim would be achieved.

In that case, her sacrifice would be meaningful.

From the moment she risked revealing her identity as a Wizard, she never intended to return alive to the Far North.

And now, although she became a sacrificial pawn in a marriage alliance, compared to being burned at the stake by the Church, it didn’t seem so bad.

...

Northern Fortress.

Watching Duke Frost Wolf lead the Knight Order’s full charge, many generals were worried.

Although Lord Duke was a Tier Six Knight, being trapped in enemy lines was still perilous.

Especially when facing the strange Barbarian High Priestess.

The Barbarians wielded some peculiar powers, somewhat like the Wizard’s magic.

Only upon hearing the Barbarian retreat horn did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It indicated Lord Duke had surely won, otherwise, they would face a more ferocious Barbarian attack.

Yet, it was uncertain whether Lord Duke could single-handedly kill all Barbarian High Priests and leaders, to forever eliminate future threats.

Soon, David returned with the Knight Order.

Seeing Lord Duke holding the Barbarian High Priestess, the generals displayed bewildered expressions.

What’s going on?

How did Lord Duke directly snatch the opponent’s High Priestess?

So, what exactly happened on the front lines?

Even the always composed Marquis of Mu Gui couldn’t suppress his astonishment, his features twisted in bewilderment.

Quickly, David brought the Barbarian High Priestess to the fortress.

Once he set the High Priestess down, the generals immediately surrounded them, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

"The Barbarian Race has surrendered."

"Next, I will integrate these Barbarians."

David directly declared.

He didn’t straightforwardly state his intention to help the Barbarians seize the Eastern Territory.

Going forward, he would first help these Barbarians survive.

When the Silver Moon Kingdom attacked the Frost Wolf Clan, these Barbarians would be a sharp blade toward the Silver Moon Kingdom’s Eastern Territory, helping him contain it.
