Even Alicia was taken aback by Jerome's shameless attitude. She couldn't help but question if he even shared the same blood as Jax, as elder brothers were meant to protect their younger siblings. However, instead of being a protector, Jerome acted as a bully towards Jax. His greed and ambition drove him to want everything that Jax had, and he was never satisfied, even after swindling part of Jax's inheritance through deceit.Jerome knew that his father rarely paid attention to this area, resulting in low surveillance on him. This knowledge fueled his actions, as he was confident that the spies in this region wouldn't have the courage to report him to his father, considering Jax's status as a bastard and the Village he was given being in a dilapidated state. Furthermore, Jerome had already bribed most of the spies he knew, ensuring that they wouldn't dare offend someone who held so much potential compared to Jax.While Jax's future appeared bleak, as if he wouldn't even survive the
"Come back,"Jerome ordered the moment he realized that his second captain was about to be defeated, a situation too embarrassing for him to bear.It meant that just one of Jax's captains could handle two of his special captain he took pride in."Ohhh! Stop, Connor," Jax said with feigned surprise."I thought you had confidence in your capable captains, why do they look like they're running away with their tails between their legs?"Jax asked Jerome, a sly smile on his face, relishing the opportunity to disparage his brother."(Snorts) You can keep feeling proud of yourself for now, but know that you are nothing great. So what if you have a slightly stronger captain than me? I have about ten of them," Jerome retorted."So what if your captain defeats two of mine?, I'll just send five over to him next time, And if five isn't enough, I'll send all my ten captains"" And if that's still not enough, I'll send all my soldiers," Jerome snorted in anger."Wow, it seems you don't even value th
"Let us experiment on your soldiers' bloodline with your Hero's Blood and find a serum that would automatically upgrade them to Tier 2 warriors, and those that come after them would be able to breakthrough the Tier 2 rank easily"the scientist proposed, causing Jax to gasp in awe at the idea.He couldn't help but contrast this scientist's willingness to offer advice and a discounted price with the purely greedy dwarf leader he had been working with."I'm interested, Tell me how much for everything?"Jax asked eagerly, fully committed to the idea."Well, I would work on upgrading your barracks, but I think your builder team should focus on constructing the factory for us,That is where our project will begin," the leading scientist explained."And it will take about a day to yield results, so the faster the factory is built, the sooner we will have the serum,"The leader scientist continued, absentmindedly stroking his clean-shaven jaw, like there was some beards there.This news only ma
It had been some time since Jerome had left Jax's small kingdom, and Jax had been diligently working to make up for his past shortcomings. Fortunately, he was beginning to feel more confident in himself.Firstly, after the completion of the factory lab, the scientists wasted no time in upgrading Jax's soldiers to the next level with the new serum they developed using Connor's blood , resulting in a more reliable and formidable group. Jax was no longer as concerned about their numbers, as all of them were now Tier 2 warriors who had become significantly stronger than before.[Barbarian Soldiers]Stars: ☆ ☆ (can be evolved)Key Points:- Very strong- The more soldiers there are, the more damage they can inflict- They possess a rage skill that doubles their power when activated, but also makes them weakerafter the duration ends.

He looked at her and noticed that she was nearly the same height as Connor. However, she was fully clothed in leather armor, unlike Connor. Her hair was intricately braided, adorned with a beautiful flower crown that added to her valiant aura. With one hand placed on her chest, she lightly bowed her head before Jax."I greet my liege," she said."You are welcomed," Jax replied with a smile on his face. Finally, he felt relieved that he had a second captain-level hero. With her presence, he felt confident in his ability to defend against the smaller kings of the Orc empire if they ever attacked his kingdom. This was the security he had been seeking.His next plan was to upgrade all the remain wooden walls around his small town to stone walls, further improving the defense of his city. He also decided to check the status of the A****n Archer Queen, comparing it to Connor's status.[HERO]Name: A****n Archer QueenStars: ☆Key Points:- Commander of all Archers under the King- Exp
Jax and his warriors quickly marched to the designated ambush location,he was surprised by the speed at which they moved. Despite being on foot, as they were nearly as fast as those riding horses. Jax attributed this to the fact that they were spawned by the system, so they didn't experience fatigue like normal soldiers, when marching.After a long march, they stealthily positioned themselves in the bushes, with the A****n Archer Queen staying by Jax's side. Even though Jax insisted that he was capable of fighting alone, Connor refused to leave his side unless Jax allowed the Archer Queen to protect him. This surprised Jax, as it was the first time Connor had defied his orders. Connor explained that in war, he was the commander and only took orders that related to achieving victory. However, in the kingdom, Jax was the king, and if he deemed Connor's attitude unworthy, he had the right to punish him after the war. After hearing this, Jax couldn't bring himself to blame or punish
The battle concluded in less than twenty minutes, with the Orc King and his other two Tier 2 subordinates swiftly captured like helpless chickens. Jax was astonished by the lack of support needed from the archers, who only fired three salvos of arrows, killing a mere hundred and fifty Orc warriors. Before the barbarian soldiers showcased their incredible strength by easily rounding up the remaining Orcs.The Orcs could only scream in fear as the arrows from the archers claimed their lives, unable to avoid being struck in vital areas no matter how they defended themselves. These archers seemed godlike, capable of annihilating any opponent below the Tier 1 warrior realm with each draw of their bows. The battle came to a close without the two Heroes even needing to participate, as Connor skillfully led his warriors.Standing atop the hill, emanating the presence and prestige of an instinct commander, While the Archer Queen remained by Jax's side throughout. Unfortunately, Jax never
Jax and his squad of soldiers rode for about an hour before reaching his Town. The areas surrounding his town were mostly filled with forest and remained unused. Adjusting himself on top of the horse, Jax couldn't help but feel his numb butt after the long ride. Despite his newfound powers as a Tier 1 warrior, he still struggled with the unfamiliar sensations of horseback riding.As they approached, Jax noticed the Tier 2 Orcs being tied and dragged by some of the Barbarian soldiers, who laughed at the sight of the Orcs beards flaring. The outline of his town came into view, and his initial feeling of contentment started to morph into worry. He pondered on how he would explain to his wife that he had been out fighting against Orcs instead of the demonic beasts he claimed to be battling.Upon spotting their arrival, the archers in the tower blew their trumpets and ordered the soldiers to open the gates for the returning king. The citizens near the town gates quickly began celebrat
“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
