“Lord David.”
“Hm?”
“There are no movements.”
“Sigh. We don’t expect them to make a move, don’t we?”
Carl and Jackson already moved to the front, but he decided to wait a bit more.
The reason was the silence within the city.
“What is going on in there?”
He touched the communication stone, connecting to one of the scouts.
There was only one 10th tier warrior within Roland city. This was supposed to be much easier than Carl’s siege. The only difference was the archers. The best archer unit of the B
“What kind of armour is that?”“Huff… Huff….”David didn’t have the strength to answer.His enemy was too nimble. Always running away from his range and shooting arrows at him. Most of all, he had to be careful. These onlookers still watched their battle hiding from the shadows.No arrow was sharp enough to go through his armour, but his body felt the impact on it. It wasn’t made of steel, and the hit on the impenetrable leather brought him enough pain. This was something the dwarven researchers reminded them of again and again. Even if the armour was made of Leviathan leather, they were not Leviathans.Every broken bone in his body reminded him of these word
“Who is that?”“It is an envoy, Lord Jackson.”“Hm? An Envoy? After all this?”He frowned when he looked at the horseman with one of his hands high up in the air. He clearly saw the scroll of parchment in that hand.Jackson grunted under his breath.He was the only one left.Even David, who started the assault after both he and Carl, had already taken the Glory city.“Hm? What are they planning?”The battle started half an hour ago, but he couldn’t let go of the feeling that all this was a probe. The reckless charge fro
“General!!!”“Sigh. What is it?”The man placed his palm on his forehead. Just by the tone of the soldier, he could tell it was another problem.There was no doubt it should be some issue. He was sure even if a soldier called him in an unhurried tone. East Coast city was a mess. He didn’t know how he should manage this any longer.Almost two-thirds of the commoners of the city were sent to the East Coast, and the city was less crowded for a while. However, things got out of hand about a week ago. After the death of the Dragon Emperor, the number of people coming to the city doubled. Many merchants and nobles were trying to find a ship to escape the Black Dragon Empire.‘Out of all the
“Sister. Aren’t you….” “No!” “Sigh. Alright.” Jane didn’t argue with Elena anymore. After all, this wasn’t a place for arguments. It was Elena’s birthday banquet. Also, the most colourful one in recent years; except for the girl with her birthday. Elena was gloomy while everything inside the palace looked colourful. ‘And too many people.’ She looked at Diana, who seemed to be having a headache with the number of people within the palace hall. Many nobles were in the palace because it was a day they could freely enter here. ‘But how many of you are here to wish well for Elena?’ Jane was sure many were here looking for information. There were nobles from the Holy Light Empire, several northern Kingdoms, and surprisingly, a few princes from the most wealthy families of the Southern Trade Unions. A group that never appeared here before. She admitted they had enough reasons to be here. The most appealing one would be the Valley of Wonders. Everyone who saw the place wanted t
“Sister.” “What?” “Are you alright?” “Of course. What do you think is wrong with me? I am fine. Why?” “Nothing.” Jane hid her smile, looking at Elena’s brightened face. Her sister again looked like the carefree girl who had nothing to worry about in this world. ‘Your face is like a blossoming flower right now.’ She could see the eyes on Elena. Even if Elena maintained her cold expression, it was difficult to hide her sparkling eyes. ‘You have what you want.’ Jane knew what Elena wanted the most. It was not the crown, nor was it the land conquered by Adam. She just wanted him to return on his own, and it finally happened. When he had the power to do anything he wanted, and when the entire world would kneel before him, he returned to Elena. The look Elena had when she saw him told everything they needed to know. She didn’t look like the Empress for a second. It was more like a love-struck teenage girl. ‘And look at these clowns.’ Suddenly, the atmosphere changed in the
“Brother Adam, do you think there are more sets of clothes like that?” Alex followed brother Adam, trying to figure out if it was these clothes. “I don’t know. But why am I in trouble?” “Trouble?” Alex looked around to find what could trouble a person like brother Adam. He suddenly felt cold, and he felt the sharp eyes on them. ‘Her Majesty? Why is she angry?’ He wanted to turn back and run to a safe place, looking at the cold eyes on them. ‘I am not the one in trouble, right? Wait… She didn’t summon me.’ He suddenly thought of sneaking away to somewhere safe. Her Majesty had a cold glimmer in her eyes. “Where do you think you are going?” “Huh? Ah… Nowhere, brother Adam.” Alex felt dejected by his good brother. He was too sharp. ‘Can't you just ignore me? Why drag me into trouble as well?’ He dragged his feet behind brother Adam, trying to find a way to escape. ‘Can’t you people look away? There is nothing to see.’ Everyone was looking at them. Only a few who were fami
‘Did I do the right thing?’Elena eyed Adam again.He still looked a bit confused. She knew she was hasty, but she just acted out of instinct. Elena didn’t like all those women coming closer to Adam, and she was just looking for a reason to get him away from them. When he showed her the necklace, for once in her life she wanted it. There were countless who wished to have her hand, but there was only one whom she wanted to give it to. The moment he showed it, she didn’t hesitate to take it. ‘Is he upset? Or angry? Doesn’t look like that… But….’Elena tried to read Adam’s mood. Amy wasn’t leaving them, and her servants and sister were there. The guards and the others were closer to them, too. She wanted to talk to him, but it wasn’t the time‘If I knew it… I might still do the same.’She felt a bit guilty about her own thoughts. Elena had no idea Adam still didn’t know what he was doing. However, she realised she would do the same if she knew that. Because this was what she wanted
“Are they not leaving?”“They are not leaving, father. Most of them are asking for an audience with you.”“With me? I am not the emperor anymore.”“I think they are not sure who they should speak with anymore.”“Greedy bastards. Did Adam leave?”“Yes, father.”Jane also stared at the nobles that were still hesitant to leave the palace grounds. “He should move in here, right? I forgot to ask him that.”“He said he has to bring what he wants.”Jane answered without looking.‘I am not sure he has many things though.’She saw the dress he left after changing. It was something Elena brought for him earlier, and it looked overused. Adam was a man who didn’t look into many material things, he still didn’t have a proper house. “How is Elena?”“She is in her chamber.”“Oh….”‘She looks like a love-struck teenager.’Jane added that bit from her heart.She saw how nervous Elena looked after she accepted the necklace from Adam. ‘I was worried too.’Alex told her about joking about this matter
“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
