“ 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
“And I would also like to be on little brother Jax’s team,” a feminine voice sounded in the room, causing everyone to turn to its direction. Lo and behold, they saw the 12th child of King Jayden, Jessica, She stared back at them, radiating confidence in her decision. Even Jax himself was surprised by this turn of events, He could still understand why Jerome would want to be under him, but what were Jessica’s reasons?, He doubted he would find out anytime soon. King Jayden had three daughters, The first, Jessie, was the firstborn and said to be the most talented child. The second daughter, Julia, who was the sixth child, had always been with the boys when they were young and had no qualms about bullying Jax. She was also on the list of people Jax was interested in getting back at, and finally, there was Jessica, the last female child and the apple of their father’s eye. She was publicly acknowledged as King Jayden’s last child because Jax was considered illegitimate, Jessica was a
“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
