“My Lord!”“Come in.”Adam didn’t want to lift his head, he knew who was talking. He knew Helen was snooping around to talk to him since morning. He just didn’t know the exact reason. Usually, this woman would find a way to avoid him as much as possible.It was another busy day for him. He was here in the Valley after a long time, and there were a thousand reports he needed to look at. The majority of decisions didn’t require his attention, but the Army, scouts, and the Churches needed his attention. Some of these parchments were just reports, but he knew none of these should be ignored. Some of them had new and intriguing ideas from various people. He never ignored positive changes and these things were important things to him.“Sit.”He felt the powerful woman was already near him, but he continued reading the document. It would be very difficult once he was back in the palace. The Empress had a thousand reasons to distract him, and Amy also needed his time. Basically, he had to c
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
“Commander.”“I… I can see.”Sakura was also stunned like the others. They finally saw the signs of another ship. Actually, it was a boat. The star charts were accurate enough. Because they were closer to the end of the marked route. Sakura thought it was much better. Since it was a boat, there was no way it was from the place they came from.The other party was yet to notice them, but they saw them on the horizon. Still, he knew the other party was just being careless. There was no way they should have missed their fleet.‘If they saw us, they should have reacted.’She didn’t believe whoever on the boat was not shaken by their fleet if they saw it. They had the Empire’s flag andHowever, to them, the horizon was just a few minutes away. It was better to learn about the other party before acting out. Since the advantage was theirs she decided to exploit it to the full.“Arm the cannons. Prepare the soldiers. Full speed ahead. Let’s catch up to that boat.”She could send the Wyverns
“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
"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Sakura Steelbeard, commander of Her Majesty Elena Lionheart's fleet."Leon watched as the woman gave a slight bow to his father.He tried to see through this woman and the three men stood behind her, but he failed to detect anything. She was at the 7th tier while the people who carried the exquisite looking wooden boxes were around the 7th and the 8th tier.'They are not worried at all.'This woman led the group into their kingdom without any worry. Their little army seemed like nothing to them.‘They do have a big fleet, but aren't they afraid of their own lives? Or are these three males more than powerful enough to deal with us? But why can’t I feel their strength? How many soldiers are in those ships?’He had many unanswered questions, but he couldn’t ask them. Because this was a discussion between the king and the representative.“Welcome to the kingdom of Markarth, My Lady. I am King Dimano. I wonder what brought your majestic fleet to our humble ki
“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
“The Church of the Dawn? I never heard of it.” He doesn't remember hearing about a Church with such a name. Even during his time in the central academy, he never learned of such a name. “We thought so too, Your Highness. The Church of the Dawn had no known records about the Eastern islands. So it was kind of obvious.” Leon realised the man was still smiling. He seemed to be unbothered by the fact that his religion wasn’t in this place. “You are not unhappy about it? You can’t bring your Church’s authority here.” He couldn’t believe what he just witnessed. Even when he thought about it, Leon felt he could still hear the howling of the wolves. “Not really. Even if there was a church, we don’t know what exactly happened. No one knows where the lady of the Dawn is. It is not like the Church of Darkness.” “Ah, I understand.” He didn’t really understand what this elf was talking about. He had no idea if they could know if a god was alive or not. “Wait. What is the Church of Darkn
“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
“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
