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
"Who does this legion of soldiers belong to?" one citizen asked another, as they observed the merged army of Jax and Jerome that was just passing by the capital streets of Jerome's Kingdom.The sheer aura emanating from the soldiers caught everyone's attention and made them take a second look. The sight of new military units, like the Barbarian soldiers and A****n Archers, left the citizens amazed and curious about their battle power. However, since it was their first time seeing these soldiers, they were clueless as to which king they served under."It seems like something interesting is about to happen, the air around the capital feels really competitive," one passerby remarked to their companion."I heard from a friend in the King Jayden Royal Guards that some small-time Orc kings have been attacking the borders of our kingdom where the subsidiary Kings of King Jayden reside," the other person shared. " There have been victories and losses in these skirmishes, but this recent bat
“Take that statement back!” Jax’s voice dropped to a low, menacing tone as rage coursed through his trembling body. The overwhelming anger fueled his desire to deliver a devastating blow to his adversary’s face. “Oh, you want me to take it back, you’re not worth it,” the guy retorted dismissively. “I said take it back!” Jax growled, his voice bordering on a primal growl. His vision tinted red, the urge to unleash his wrath upon the man standing in front of him intensified. With a sly smile, the guy taunted Jax, reveling in the attention and admiration he gained by standing up to someone of Jax’s power. He believed he could elevate his image and prestige among those in the room by challenging someone they wouldn’t dare confront without their army to protect them. Being on the same power level as Jax, his confidence soared. Confident in his power as a Tier 2 warrior, and the fact that he had attained the realm ahead of Jax, the man believed he could easily handle the situation.
They all took their seats around the round table, with King Jayden and his royal guards clad in full armor entering the room. They brought with them a mini throne, which they placed near the table, for King Jayden, as he sat amongst his kids and trusted generals, his eyes scanning each person around the table with a slight smile on his face.As his gaze passed over Jordan, he nodded in approval, clearly impressed by his cultivation level reaching the Tier 2 warrior rank. But when his eyes fell upon Jax, they bulged with surprise and amazement for a moment, before quickly composing himself, he laughed heartily, patting the table."I can't believe it," King Jayden said, his laughter still evident in his voice. "Another one of my children turning out to be a martial genius, a Tier 2 warrior , What a joyous moment."The others at the table, realizing he was referring to Jax, were taken aback. After all, Jax had already reached the Tier 2 mage level at just 19 years old, Even Jessie, wh
King Jayden was in shock and it took him longer than usual for his expression to change after hearing Jerome's revelation about Jax. The possibility of Jax becoming a Tier 2 warrior could be attributed to his talent in cultivation or finding a valuable herb by chance that had boosted his cultivation level. King Jayden strongly suspected that Jax had indeed accomplished the Tier 2 warrior realm like this, which is why he never took him seriously before. However, it hit him hard when he learned that Jax had also become a king of a Tier 2 kingdom. He still remembered sending envoys to coronate Jax, as it was customary for every king under him to be coronated and given all the necessary equipment they need to rule.Now, King Jayden suspected that Jax had concealed his true powers when the envoys had arrived, as the number of troops they reported Jax had could not possibly be what to a Tier 2 kingdom only had. As only this realization can make him explain why Jax had easily defeated th
