The Lord's army began banging their weapons on the ground,A form of intimidation tactics to make the enemy understand the threat they pose and the invigority running through their veins. Sure enough the defense guards were all shrieking in fear,With low wages and worn out weapons,Honestly they have no reason to stand on the front lines to defend the city but they still upheld their title as warriors sworn to lay their lives for the people, That alone is commendable of them. One of the Lord's army came out and stood at the front of the army with a warhorn,He blew into the warhorn once and the archers came out in a vertical line of three,They strung their bows with fire lit in the arrow heads and shot it at the guards standing at the fortress walls. Edevin defense corps casted shield magic and transparent shield appeared to defend the fortress troops,The shield could not fully cover all the guards and some were hit by the arrows,Echoes of cries were heard within the fortress w

[Twenty years ago] [your father Zarek who had just assumed his father's position reached out to me in an attempt to strike a proposal with me] [one that would actually benefit both the Elf Kingdom and his fief or so he said] As you might have known we elves are not well taken amongst the humans and so to solve this problem[he proposed to turn his city into a place where humans and elves can coexist and cohabitate togethe][If it all goes well then the humans might get to see the elves in a better view] [but that was all a lie, a trick, that deceitful cunning bastard][he lured my subjects out of the elf kingdom and turned them into his slaves] [auctioned them off like they were rags, my subjects became an object of ridicule and the most painful of it all is not being able to do anything about it] [I watch as my subjects get hunted like animals with collars on their necks for the humans entertainment] [being killed off like bugs and now you his illegitimate son dares to invite m

The builders in charge of reconstructing the fallen walls of Edevin are currently being busy at work, there are those that are moving the building materials to their needed station and those carefully laying the bricks that forms the wall onto each other.

Their appreciation for the soldiers that died protecting them and for the appearance of a noble that shows his caring side for his people, opening up his food storage to feed the hungry and lessening tax and even increasing wages all just to ensure a better form of living for the working class. This are all benefits they would never dream of enjoying under the leadership of Zarek especially after the feudal dispute that just happened not too long ago, he would raise the tax even more with the excuse of using it to rebuild the town when he actually plans on embezzling it all. With the arrival of the illegitimate son the people's li

He knew one thing for sure and that is the monster before him is strong If he can leisurely stop an attack from an SSS Class monster with just one hand despite the difference in weight. Ricus felt fear and intimidation at the monster standing before him. Even though he had just been saved by the monster does not guarantee that the monster is on Ricus's side, it could b
