The reason for Jax's smile was his increased sense of security while traveling to the capital, now that he was officially a King of a Tier 2 kingdom and possessed Tier 2 warrior strength.During the Royal envoy's journey, Jax had took the opportunity to upgrade his Town Hall/Palace to the next level. It required him to pay ten thousand coins, and after some negotiation, the head builder agreed to undertake the work.Despite feeling wealthier, Alec couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration at the thought of losing a tenth of his overall wealth. He still struggled to adjust to the habit of spending money carelessly, and the shrewd smile of the head builder seemed to mock him as he was always ripped off again.After a span of two days, his Town Hall upgrade was completed. And Without wasting any time, Jax immediately commenced the upgrade of his barracks, eager to unlock the next unit of warriors.This was when he acquired the mini giant unit, which resembled a heavy infantry squ

So he had just agreed without checking it out.Initially, he never took the crown seriously, cause At first glance, it appeared Quite bland and ugly, with just one line and a single red star stone embedded in it.However, as he looked at the same crown now that had just upgraded , he noticed that it had transformed beyond what he recognised.It now had two pointed lines, each adorned with a red star stone, giving the crown a rare and captivating beauty.Jax soon realized that his crown followed the same principles as his cultivation level, upgrading alongside his town hall/Palace.It had become a part of h
Jax was taken aback by the strange rule that applied to the Mini Giants. However, since he was already determined to provide around a hundred spaces for them in the first place, he decided to recruit approximately 25 of them. This would be equivalent to having 100 soldiers since each Mini Giant took the space of at least four soldiers in the system calculations He believed they would be a valuable addition to his forces. Additionally, he recruited three hundred more Barbarian soldiers and a hundred Archers to guard his kingdom while he was away at the capital. Satisfied with his choices, Jax opened his status tab to assess the remaining resources he had: [Status Tab] Name: Jax Freeman King level: Tier 1 King Land level: Town Coins: 77,200 Spirit Coins: 53,600 Coupons: Tier 1 coupons x69 Although his coin reserves had taken a substantial dip, Jax was relieved to have enough funds to continue various projects around the kingdom.

The stream of light entered his chest, but to his surprise, he felt no pain at all. The light beam disappeared upon touching his chest, as if it had been nothing but a deception. In a state of disbelief, he quickly opened his clothes, only to find nothing visible there. However, as he placed his hand on his chest, he could feel the presence of the sword inside him, calling out to him.It felt as if he could summon the sword at will, just like he did with coins and spirit coins from the system. And he willed it to appear, and specks of light gathered around his palm, transforming into the sword.A smile of satisfaction adorned his face, as his little experiment proved to be a success. And when he willed the sword to go back, it turned into streams of light that entered his body once again.[Universe – Armament Type]- +20% Qi output- +20% Qi outburst- +20% weapon damage- +20% elemental resistanceDetails: A named sword still in its infancy, yet to develop consciousness.- Linked
Due to Jerome's kingdom being located along the way to the capital from Jax's side, Jax and his army had to pass through there. However, he wasn't expecting his brother, Jerome, to be waiting for him with his two thousand legion of men.Unbeknownst to Jax, Jerome only wanted to showcase his military superiority to his younger brother. He wanted to relished the opportunity to demonstrate his power, as he felt he surpassed Jax in military might.The moment Jerome caught sight of the small number of warriors accompanying Jax's carriage, he pointed at them, and his soldiers burst into laughter. Even those with low morale, who had been standing on the road waiting, began banging their spears on their shields, laughing until their stomachs hurt. The captains of Jerome joined in, making fun of the soldiers following Jax.Some mocked the fact that they had no rides or mounts, It was common knowledge that riding a mount on a long journey helped preserve a soldier's stamina. And given how J
“ How are you doing, brother?, It’s been so long since I last saw your face” Jax said as he gracefully stepped down from his carriage, the crown on his head adding to his already handsome and confident demeanor. Jerome couldn’t help but look at Jax with a hint of suspicion, trying to determine if it was truly him or someone pretending to be him. “Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten about me,” Jax continued, stretching his hands out as if expecting a warm embrace from Jerome. As reality finally sunk in, Jerome quickly dismounted his horse and returned his younger brother’s hug, a bit overwhelmed by the presence of the formidable soldiers accompanying him. The Barbarian soldiers exuded an aura of strength and dominance, something Jerome hadn’t fully grasped until they were closer, their power was truly intimidating. “ It hasn’t been too long since we last saw each other, you know, Let’s not make it seem like we are supposed to be meeting every day,” Jerome joked, breaking the hu
After merging their armies, Jax and Jerome made their way together towards the capital. Initially, those on horseback felt that riding while the barbarian soldiers of Jax army marched was torturous. They believed it would drain the Barbarians stamina and energy even before a fight broke out. However, they quickly realized how wrong they were when the barbarian soldiers and archers showed no signs of fatigue after an hour of travel. It almost seemed as if they hadn’t been on the road for very long, this revelation made Jerome’s army realize that the barbarian soldiers were naturally adept at marching, so they decided to increase their pace in order reach the capital faster. Since Alec’s soldiers were fast on foot, it wouldn’t be a major problem for them to wait and rest when needed. However, another unexpected thing disrupted their understanding of marching. Their mounts even grew tired before Jax’s soldiers, forcing them to stop and let their horses drink water and rest for a wh
King Jayden was meticulously examining his collection of fashion rings, pondering which one would perfectly adorn his attire for the upcoming event. Just as he delved into his decision-making process, in order to host his children and loyal generals, someone made a grand entrance into the room, capturing his attention momentarily. With a cold expression on his face, King Jayden directed his gaze towards the figure seated in the corner a familiar face known as Harpy, donned in his sleek black armor. “Hey, Harpy,” King Jayden cordially called out, wearing a smile after realising who it was. “I’m having difficulty selecting the ideal ring to complement my attire, Care to offer your expert opinion?” Harpy didn’t even spare a glance in his direction, Letting out a sigh of resignation, he replied sarcastically, “Just pick your favourite one, Even if it doesn’t match, it won’t bother you much anyway.” “No!” King Jayden retorted, displeased with the response. “That’s not the answer I
“Your Majesty, if we do not receive reinforcements within the next three days, we may lose this battle,” one of Jerome’s Tier 1 captains spoke urgently, addressing the brooding Jerome as he sat upon his throne.The entire J-Clan Kingdom had been thrust into a state of war ever since the capital had been attacked. At present, they remained in the dark about the identity of the assailants or the kingdom from which the attackers have originated, as no kingdom insignia or flags were present on the black armoured warriors. It was a surprise assault that even King Jayden could have never foreseen, as the attackers had managed to strike without revealing their allegiance.Undoubtedly, they possessed some affiliation, yet one thing was certain: the invading army did not belong to any of the forces within the Wastelands. As none of the Wasteland kingdoms possessed nor the army or the capacity to mount such a grand-scale assault, targeting not only the main kingdom but also attempting to di
“Arrrgh! Why? How could you all allow this to happen?” The Orc chieftain’s voice reverberated through the throne room as he paced angrily, his bare chest heaving. Outside the massive window adjacent to the throne room, three immense images of grieving Orcs that had two stars revolving around them were displayed.The more he gazed at the images, the stronger his urge grew to clench his hands in his hair and pull them out in frustration.Although three Tier 2 kingdoms under their rule had been swiftly destroyed without resistance, it felt as if the battle had been between a child and an adult, the chieftain demanded an explanation for their rapid defeat.While all three kingdoms had suffered destruction, it was evident that the first to fall was indicated by the Orc image on the verge of disappearing above that particular kingdom.The loss of the Goblin kingdom, that was previously responsible for handling distasteful tasks they wished to avoid, had already stung when Jax decimated it.
As Lyra slowly advanced, the other Orc that had survived with the Orc captain was already sweating. However, when he glanced sideways, he noticed his leader making hand signals indicating that he had to make a run for it, but the orc hesitated; as he didn’t want to make himself Lyra’s next target, but the stern stare from his leader made it clear that rejecting a direct order meant certain death. Caught between the archer and his captain, he knew he had no choice.Their line of work was inherently risky, as they ventured into enemy territory without support, however, this mission had proven to be a complete failure. And it no seemed there was no hope left for their squad, with only two members remaining. With a nod, the orc signalled that he understood the plan and was prepared to proceed, this elicited a smile from the orc captain, who then gave another hand signal, counting down from three.As soon as he reached zero, the other orc swiftly got up and attempted to flee, Lyra’s
Silently, a group of ten Orcs emerged, encircling the remnants of the destroyed Goblin kingdom, and concealing their presence, their objective was to gather intelligence about the kingdom, or race that had dared to attack the Goblins kingdom, and was also capable of annihilating them before aid could arrive. These ten Orcs were elite spies dispatched by the Orc empire.While they possessed a smaller stature than the main Orc warriors, this reduction in size did not diminish their strength, in fact, they remained just as formidable as their larger counterparts, relying on their swiftness to compensate, while equipped with lighter and more nimble weaponry, they eschewed the heavy arms typically favoured by other large Orcs.“Move out!” commanded their leader, urging them to close the distance to the walls of the Goblin kingdom as the pass through boulders, their current position hindered their ability to gather information, obstructed by the towering walls constructed by the Goblins.
The news of Jax’s successful obliteration of the Goblin kingdom had rapidly spread throughout the J-Clan kingdom. King Jayden wasted no time in dispatching numerous message birds to the subordinate kings under him, officially announcing Jax’s victory over the Tier 2 Goblin kingdom at the border.While others might have been oblivious to Jax’s recent exploits, King Jayden himself couldn’t deny that he wasn’t well-informed about Jax’s movements. Though the Orc empire may still be unaware, but King Jayden knew that it wouldn’t be long before they gathered the intelligence that Jax and his army were responsible for the destruction of the Goblin kingdom. And when the news would inevitably make its way back to the Orc empire, they would then disseminate it further, therefore, Jayden wanted to ensure that he spread the news from his own kingdom before the Orc empire had the chance, starting with his children and the other general kings under his rule.–When Jessie received the messag
The Orc kingdoms near the area were not the only ones to catch wind of the situation of the wailing Goblin and realised that the Tier 2 Goblin Kingdom had been destroyed; some of the human kingdoms situated close to the borders of the Wastelands also became aware of what was happening.Meanwhile, in the capital palace of the J Clan, King Jayden gazed out of his window watching the image of the wailing goblin in distance, though his spies had yet to deliver any messages, but he felt no need to wait for their reports to understand who had initiated the attack on the Goblin kingdom, leading to its demise.After all, only Jax had sent him a letter declaring war, and he was the sole human king who had made recent movements with his army. King Jayden had initially anticipated that it would take Jax days to conquer any kingdom of his choosing, however, he had never expected Jax to completely destroy another Tier 2 kingdom. Jax had accomplished something that most of the other Tier 2 human
“If it wouldn’t be an inconvenience, have you considered taking them into your kingdom as your subjects?” Red suggested, bowing respectfully to Jax as he made his proposal.Jax seemed taken aback by Red’s words, but then he began contemplating the idea, No one had explicitly stated that as a human king, he couldn’t have other races as his subjects. He already had Barbarians, Amazons, and even Mini Giants coexisting in his kingdom, not to mention that Red had practically become an integral part of his kingdom also.“I don’t mean to impose, but the goblins could be valuable for manual labour, they can contribute to mining and perform strenuous tasks for the kingdom, all I ask is that you give them a chance to live, just as you have given me,” Red pleaded, his voice carrying the weight of his emotions.Jax understood that Red held genuine sympathy towards the goblin, though he was now deeply attached to Jax’s kingdom, but it didn’t mean he had forsaken all his feelings and transformed
Jax watched in awe as the Mini Giants maneuvered through the battlefield, their shields arranged in a strategic formation that deflected arrows and prevented them from finding their mark. The goblins stationed atop the city wall tirelessly shot arrows, but their efforts failed to hinder the relentless progress of the Mini Giants, who pressed forward towards the city gate.Bulwark, their leader, crushed the ball in his hand, which instantly turned into specks of light that transformed into a custom-made battering ram perfectly fitted for the Mini Giants. Without hesitation, Bulwark issued orders, causing the group of Mini Giants to split into two: twenty of them proceeded to push the battering ram, while the rest formed a defensive circle around it, shields locked together to shield the ram from any goblin attacks or projectiles.With their defensive formation established, the Mini Giants began their steady advance towards the target gate or wall, maintain
With Astrid and Red securing positions on the left side of the wall and eliminating the goblins assigned to guard the left flank, the Tier 2 Goblin who took command was forced to dispatch another wave of goblins toward the left side, in order to regain their lost foothold.“Leave them to me!” Red called out to Astrid, who was poised to engage. The strategy was clear: Connor had sent Astrid, because of his swift and decisive attacks, to take control of the left side in a jiffy. While Red had been sent out by Connor to be more of a test run, to see how he performs, but Red was eager to support Astrid and itching for a piece of the action after watching Astrid effortlessly dispatch several goblins.So while Astrid stayed behind to guard the fifty Barbarian soldiers preparing to ascend the wall with grappling guns against any surprise attacks or goblin archers , Red on the other hand also planned to widen the breach that he and Astrid had secured. This would facilitate the smooth entry
