“How long will it take?”
He looked out from the window of the tower before turning his eyes back at the desk. Too many orders within several days. They were waiting for a piece of news from Wind Pass city.
Already some influential merchants were causing trouble because they refused to let them pass through.
He listened to the howling wind. It was the signature sound of the wind pass as waves of wind passed through the narrow pass. Today, he felt there was an ominous tone in the wind. It was as if there was mourning for death.
A few minutes earlier, they all saw the massive explosion that happened in the city. However, they had to wait for a piece of news from the city to send the word to the army.
“Your Highness, what are we going to do?”“I… I don’t know.”Jane felt lost.She was happy because Elena was better, at least she had no more physical injuries. She looked as if she was sound asleep.Jane eyed the people gathering around them. Some looked at Elena with respectful eyes. Many people already knew Elena saved them from death. If she didn’t protect them, many of them would have died. There were a few wounded people, and some people were attending to them.Others, however, had different reactions.Some people knelt on the ground, looking at them. The others looked at the changed land with great respect.&
“Adam!” “Hm…?” He heard a faint calling sound. ‘Princess Jane.’ He knew who was talking, yet he didn’t have a mind to take his eyes off the Empress. Her hand still felt warm, yet she was not talking. Her face looked peaceful as ever, yet she didn’t look at him. He wanted to hear her talk, see her smile, and be with her, but she wasn’t awake. Adam felt guilty, and he felt afraid. He was alone, and he almost lost her. If he was there, this wouldn’t have happened. He knew she was fine, but she was asleep. Even if her body recovered, her mind needed time to regain its
“Your Majesty! The Rondon family and the Colbar family have been attacked. All the elders and family heads are dead.”“What? Who is causing trouble within the kingdom?”The royal palace of the Blood Baron kingdom was already in disarray when this news came, and things suddenly became even more chaotic.“It… It is Lady Helen The prophet of the Black Dragon Empire,”Even the messenger feared to show any disrespect to that powerful woman.“She… Where is she?”The man on the throne looked powerless when he heard the identity of the attacker. This was a person they had no way of defending against.
“Commander, here is the final list.”“Thank you. Take the rest of the day off.”Frank took the list in his hand.“Commander?”“You will be in charge of the training until I come back.”“Yes, but….”“There is nothing much to do, anyway. Have a day off.”“Yes, sir.”“Go now.”He dismissed the soldier, looking at the numbers written on the parchment. The last batch of the dwarven weapons was delivered to the army before the war. These crafts
Sakura looked at all the different indicators in front of her.After using them and practising with them many times, she finally had the confidence to use them properly.She looked out of the crystal windows. Unlike the old ships, her new ship didn’t have a helm outside. It was a well-covered room with a secure door and crystal glasses all around. With the enchantment and the dwarven technology, this room at the top of the ship was more secure than any other place.She felt like standing on the ground. Master George applied new technology to these ships, creating weird hollow parts under the hull. Because of this, the ship didn't rock at all. If not for a heavy storm, the ship wouldn’t move much with its massive weight.Everything was new an
“Is there any news?”The Dragon’s keep was under heavy pressure because of the current events.The experts they hired were dead. The news came that one head is displayed in the Wind Pass city, and the other didn’t even have a head left.There was no reason for them to care about this, but what they wanted to know was the condition of their target.The only reliable news was that Elena Lionheart was hurt, but that was it. There was nothing beyond that. The Crimson Empire was yet to claim anything. However, there were no movements from the nobles of the Crimson Empire as well.If the Crimson Empress was dead, there would be a certain uprising. However, there was nothing until now.
“Your Highness!”Alex gave a slight bow to the Princess.He didn’t expect to see her here. She seemed to be waiting for something at the palace hall, but she was looking at the ground.“Huh? You are here? Oh… You all are here! That is a relief.”Alex saw Her Highness’s gloomy face light up when she saw him and the others.He was here for business, yet the others; Carl, Jackson, David and Lohar insisted on following him today. Apparently, their arrival was a good thing.None of them saw brother Adam since the day he disappeared from the valley, making a commotion. They had to repair his office building since dragon Mirak opened
“Sound the horns!”“Yes, My Lord!”“Sound the Horns!”“Hoot!”The horns sounded one after the other, filling the atmosphere with blood-boiling music.The troops started the march from the camp, moving toward the exit of the valley. The new recruits followed the marching soldiers. Some looked envious, and some looked to be in thought.A war might sound scary, but there were certain things these recruits had something to look up to. If the soldiers followed the orders and made a good contribution, they could receive promotions. Not only that, there were higher wages and many other opportunities waiting for them.
“Amazing.”Despite her words, the older girl saw several teardrops in the eyes of her little sister, and she didn’t say anything about that. The story was sweet and sour. She picked her up and held her against her chest. Their mother and father were talking with some other families in the distance. Many pilgrims and worshipers walked around them, and some were telling the same story as her. It was the story of a legend. “That is the story of the Great Blood Wolf.” The older girl ended the story, holding her younger sister’s hand in front of the massive statue of their Grand Empress and Her Consort. The Blood Wolf. “Oh….” Her little sister looked elated, looking at the massive statue of the couple. The greatest rulers of the world. She knew her sister would ask about this story again and again, but she was happy to see her little tail swinging in excitement. “Are you happy?” “Yes. I am very happy. I want to be as strong as the Grand Empress in the future.” “Of Course, you
“Grandfather?” The old man shook when he heard this call. He wanted to strangle this thing to death, but first, he needed an answer. “Why did you do that? Why did you kill my Grandson?” His face looked tired and battered. Time was not a concept for him, and he hoped to see his Grandchild someday. He came here because he almost felt the presence of his little boy. However, it wasn’t him. He looked at Chaos. He remembered the day when he first saw the two-headed infant drifting across the universe. Their first meeting wasn’t a good one. The first time he met him, this kid attacked him and even injured him. However, he treated Chaos as a child and even adopted him into the family. He grew up together with his only Grandson. They were great friends and family. His Grandson never treated Chaos badly. That was the reason he permitted Chaos to go with his Grandson when he left to become the first Guardian of the universe. He was the one who even granted this power to his Grandson on
Adam crashed onto the ground with full force. He didn’t want to slow down when he saw the hideous figure standing on the beach. He knew what it was. He gritted his teeth to ignore the head-splitting pain that came with the memories. He was finally looking at the nemesis of this world; Chaos. Adam wished he could end this thing with one blow. Because it was something that shouldn’t exist. He was betting the lives of too many people, and the life of the Empress. If he failed right now, he would fail the entire world forever. His punch landed inches away from his target, but that thing moved several metres away with ease. The ground shattered under his blow, and the foul stench of the chaos entered his nose. He finally understood why the world and Mahisha failed to access this ground. Because it was contaminated by Chaos. He already created armour around his body and coated his sword with the aura of the Abyss. He didn’t have a reason to drag this. ‘This is not going to be
“Still nothing, commander.” “What exactly is going on?” Morga Steelbeard was lost. Not in the sea, but in his own thoughts. After two long months in the sea, they finally found their destination. As the second fleet commander of the Crimson Empire, he had an army of his own. Although it was still not at the level of Sakura’s fleet with twelve warships and two supply ships; his seven-shipped fleet was the second powerhouse of the sea. The land was just ahead of them, but they failed to find anything even after searching for two days. The western continent looked desolate and abandoned. There were not even large animals. This was too alarming for him. They saw birds and small rodents, but nothing bigger than that. The forest looked untainted for generations. He didn’t even think about sending a landing party. The risk was too much. ‘What exactly is happening?’ They passed through the so-called barrier about a week back, and there was nothing in between the northern continent an
“We should leave!” “Yes, Your Majesty.” Adam smiled, looking at the Empress. He wondered how many changes she made within the day to the castle. “I changed the 12th floor entirely. You should go and see.” “I will, Your Majesty.” He was sure it would be a combination of blue, shades of blue, and some gold, white and silver, and more shades of blue. There was nothing more to think, but he knew way better than to voice it out. ‘It is a good thing I have Mahisha to help her.’ He wouldn’t get any time to train his powers if he had to change the Abyss castle by himself. He sometimes felt the Empress was playing with the castle because it could be changed based on her simple thoughts. He didn’t care much at all. As long as she was happy with it. When she came here for the first time, she had a lot of complaints about the dull colours and the bad choice of material. In the end, he had no choice but to let her handle the decorations and colours as she pleased. “Not now. We have
Adam moved fast and landed in the area he saw the camps. He simply nodded at the people who started greeting him,He already found Alex, and he didn’t seem to be alright. “My Lord!!”Adam nodded at David before entering the tent. Already, there were several healers around the bed, including Mila. ‘Not good.’He felt Alex’s breathing wasn’t stable. “What happened?”The people made way for him with ease.“My Lord. There seemed to be a weird poison.”“Poison?”He didn’t smell any poison, but he realised Alex was unstable. Someone had removed the clothes from his upper body. His veins could be seen on his chest and there was a back lump on his chest. The wound was gone, but he wasn't getting any better. “Hm… Divine power.”He didn’t expect the enemy to use such a weapon. If it was before, he would have had a hard time dealing with this, but not anymore. The divine power was just another source of power restricted to this world. Although it was the most powerful, it wasn’t powerful en
“Are you alright?”“Yes, Your Majesty.”Adam sat with the Empress, looking at the two girls playing on the beach.To him, knowing the truth didn’t hurt much. Rather, he felt relieved to know the truth. ‘Am I angry?’He couldn’t say no. He was angry. If he didn’t lose his father, things would have been much different for them. Maybe… Just Maybe… His mother could have survived. Of course, it would have changed many aspects of his life, including moving to the West Coast, but he wished his mother to be alive. However, knowing the Church of Light might be behind his father’s death didn’t sting as he thought it would. As for how he knew his father was dead; that was because of what he saw in the underground of the church. There were hundreds of dead bodies being held there, draining the liquids from the,He didn’t know what was the exact process, but he saw the so-called Life potion coming out of that facility. Besides, Helen confirmed this matter. ‘If not for Amy and Zafira, I would ha
“We have to run!” Oliver heard someone yelling, but he didn’t know what to do. “He followed the orders of the king, coming here to destroy the Summer Palace city. The reason was to simply buy them more time. According to the information they received, the army was led by the infamous three Generals of the Crimson Empire. Since the main army was already divided into three, there shouldn’t be enough power to fight against twenty 10th-tier powerhouses at the same time. Besides, the Crimson Empire army should have more than enough Dwarven machines to face them. However, there shouldn't be enough time to move them for a defensive battle or to mount them on a wall. In a sense, there was no way this city could stand against them. What really worried him was the results. They were doing all these things based on the assumption that the owner of the taboo name wasn’t as powerful as they said. However, he didn’t understand why they were underestimating the revenge of the Crimson Empi
Alex floated toward the north using his magic. He wasn’t as weak as he once was when he passed through the Summer Palace city long ago. However, it was a lie to say that he wasn’t afraid. Their original battle plan was to separate their enemies by attacking the different parts of the Blood Baron Kingdom at the same time. Also, by using a portion of their units and the help of the Kingdom of Boria, they should have been able to delay the reinforcements from the other five kingdoms. Lady Helen was to show herself at the Dwarven mountain to create a distraction and intimidation. That wasn’t all. He was the one that took out the enemy scouts near the borders of the Crimson Empire with ease. Then he asked for the help of Lady Helen to take on the Wind Hold city to prevent any news from leaking to the rest of the city. He knew their enemies would realise the threat once the army was divided and Lady Helen fortified the Dwarven mountain. It all went as they planned, but he realised h
