Ken touched his daughter’s forehead, feeling the burning heat.His wife had tears in her eyes, and he felt helpless. They moved in with their son a couple of weeks ago. After that, His son moved to another place called Valley of Wonders to receive his training. He didn’t know where it was, but he knew it was beyond the High Pass Mountain. As for the way his son went there, he had a pretty good idea. Because it was the same way they came to Lishan city. They had to stand on a magical circle from the temporary army camp. After that, one soldier did something to make them covered in white light. When he opened his eyes again, he was looking at the tall walls of the city of Lishan city. The first day they came in, people asked for their details. After writing down their names and other things, he and his wife got a piece of wood with something written on them. He didn’t know any letters and he failed to know what it was, but he knew it was necessary. Because his son knew it was importa

“Hoot!”“What is that horn?”Leon stood up from his seat. It was a loud horn that almost sounded like a warhorn from the barbarian kingdom to the far East. One of the farthest kingdoms from Markarth, and it was much more primitive compared to the others. A kingdom that bordered the uninhabited dangerous islands. The islands scattered across this area were too much for the collective populations of all the kingdoms. Most of the far east and southern islands were left to the animals and the wild. He always wanted to explore those lands, but he never had the luxury. Their kingdom was too poor, and he had to be there as the first prince. Despite that, Leon always had hope, but everything shattered about four months ago. He had to marry the princess of the Olmar kingdom as a political bargain. Of course, he knew this would have happened eventually, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon. He barely knew this princess from the several social gatherings they had previously, but that was it

“This… This is the place.”Leon stuttered, looking at the old building in front of them.He had no idea how old it was, but almost no one came here anymore. As far as he remembered, this building was here for a very long time. “Let’s go.”He was about to take a step when the woman walked past him. The other followed her, ignoring his presence. For a moment, Leon didn’t know what he should do. He wanted to rush back, but he also wanted to see what these people were up to. They easily brought him out of the palace without any effort. He thought he would be held as a hostage, but they seemed to be uninterested in him.‘If they are truly that powerful, why do they even have to care?’He knew the threat was still there. If these people were actually 10th-tier magicians, the entire continent had no way to defend against them.‘Maybe… Central kingdoms might have a way. But….’He didn’t know what would happen when the news about these visitors circulated to the other kingdoms. He was sure t

“Any news from the Black Dragon Empire?”“Nothing except for what we all know. They are gathering the villagers and clearing out the bandits and scattered soldiers. The cities trapped between the East coast and Dragon’s Keep are trying to negotiate, but the process seems to be slow. I heard some people are directly leaving the city, looking for a refuge.”“It is happening. There was a team of Empire Knights and a couple of Guardian Knights in the trading area of the Dwarven Kingdom.”It was the secret place where seven rulers of the northern kingdoms gathered. However, today it had a grim atmosphere. “So… The flags and those words aren’t a lie. They are collaborating with the Crimson Empire.”“We should teach them a lesson.”“Teach how? Attack? Do it yourself, I lost enough men already.”It was the king of the Blood Baron Kingdom. He suffered the most because of the recent events. Losing noble families could be advantageous, but he didn’t lose entire families. What he lost was mostly

“Commander. Welcome!”Leon didn’t pay attention to his father and the commander Sakura. Rather, he kept his eyes on the changing face of the Bishop of the Church of Light. There were clear signs of worry on that face. He also felt surprised by the sudden response from the people of the Crimson Empire. They immediately arrived at the palace right at that moment. Usually, those people didn't leave their fleet unless they were visiting the Church of Darkness. ‘How do they even live inside like that?.’It had been more than two months since these people came to their empire. Since they had to conduct a long-term negotiation, the fleet never left. These people never came out to seek food or any other thing. He thought those massive ships should be comfortable enough, but they didn’t have a chance to visit and witness what was inside those shells. Everything for the past two months made him too busy for anything, and their small kingdom didn’t have many reliable representatives. First,
