The spies who had stealthily followed the Barbarian army unit watched from the shadows, convinced that their presence still remained undetected. Their eyes widened in disbelief as Thorin, one of the new warriors on their radar, boldly stepped forward to confront the formidable Ogre leader. With a commanding presence and a towering stature, Thorin, along with the four remaining new captains, had already gained a reputation as forces to be reckoned with from the spies, as they saw them second only to the three leaders of Jax’s army – Connor, Bulwark, and the A****n Queen. Equipped with his massive war hammer, Thorin stood before the Ogre, with his long, blond braided beard and battle-scarred face that is a testament to his prowess in combat. As he defiantly discarded his weapon and assumed a battle stance, doubts and murmurs arose among the onlookers shrouded in darkness. Yet, Thorin’s unwavering confidence and determination radiated through to even them in the shadows. Some spies

After successfully resolving the Ogre issue, the Barbarians continued their conquest to eliminate the kingdom’s threats marked by King Jayden one by one, appearing as an unstoppable force. News of their successful endeavours quickly spread throughout the kingdom, thanks to the spies tracking their every move and delivering the message. Their achievements soon reached the J-Clan capital, where Jordan had recently arrived to deliver his warriors for a training program. Learnt of Jax’s army actively addressing the whole j kingdom’s problems, Jordan reflected on his reliance on his father to enhance the quality of his soldiers, while Jax was already made even without their father’s help. And he realized that he should perhaps not provoke Jax, as he had done in the past, Jordan thought about the potential consequences. As he considered that even if Jax sought revenge in the future, the punishment might be lenient due to Jax’s loyalty and service to the kingdom, despite his status as th

On the long-awaited day, Jax had finally agreed to meet with the envoys of all the kingdoms that sought an audience with him. He found himself in a grand dressing chamber adorned with rich tapestries and gilded mirrors, an environment that matched his regal attire and reflected his figure of power and authority as he stood before the grand mirror staring at himself.Lost in thought, Jax gazed at his reflection in the quiet room, his expression turning pensive as memories of recent events flooded his mind. Scenes from those past few days flashed before his eyes, bringing a smile to his face as he realized he was no longer the same small king he was as before.Witnessing the growth of his new army captains and Heroes made him proud, Jax even considered calling his captains, as commanders but halted when he realized that only a Tier 4 king had the right to bestow such a title. And he didn’t want an intermediate-ranking king to misuse that as an excuse to challenge his authority, after

“Sire, my name is...” Before the person could speak any further, Jax raised his hand, silencing him with a gaze filled with anger.“Tell me, does your kingdom want me to marry into your bloodline and sever my ties with the J Clan, or are you offering one of your daughters to take over my place as the main ruler, while I be grateful cause her father is about to elevate his kingdom to Tier 5?” Jax’s smile disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.“Yes, we do want you...” the envoy attempted to speak again, but Jax abruptly cut him off.“Enough! If the rest of you have come with intentions to coerce me into either of those scenarios, as I have just mentioned, leave my throne room, depart from my kingdom, and never return,” Jax’s anger was palpable.“How dare you speak to us, envoys of a Tier 4 Kingdom, in that manner?, Even your father wouldn’t dare treat us so disrespectfully, we deserve courtesy, you are nothing but a king of a small Tier 2 kingdom we deemed worthy of grooming, an

# Almeria kingdomThe king of Almeria had turned his back to his entire court, his gaze fixed upon his majestic throne, as his body trembled with anger as thoughts of anger consumed him.“So, he is truly dead, then?” the king inquired, his voice filled with fury.“Yes, King Pepe, I have sent message to dispatched one of our kingdom’s finest assassins still inside J-Clan kingdom to investigate, and he had confirmed that it was indeed the envoy we had sent,” Lucas replied.“So, the envoy of I, King Pepe of Almeria, was killed as a warning, while the other envoys of smaller kingdoms than mine were allowed to leave unharmed.” “ I’m being mocked by a low-ranking kingdom, and all of you stand here telling me there is nothing i can do?” King Pepe’s voice grew louder, his anger becoming more evident.“That is not entirely accurate,” Lucas interjected. “We cannot openly attack him, as doing so would only confirm that you have indeed sent the envoy to a subordinate kingdom without proper auth
