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
It has been five days since the first meeting between King Jayden, his children, and the general kings under him about how they were going to attack in the war. Today, the combined army of the subsidiary Kings is preparing to march out to the Wasteland borders to defend their kingdom against the Orcs armies since King Jayden’s Kingdom was the closest to the border, and the Orcs were are also planning to meet the human Kings army in war midway. Surprisingly to the resident of the J-clan kingdom, they soon learnt that the one leading this attack is the first child of King Jayden, Jessie, and not the king himself. When he announced that she would be the sole General of this war, his kids didn’t take it seriously, as they were still expecting him to be her superior. However, at this moment the whole kingdom was aware they realize that their father is not even sending any of his royal troops or participating in this expedition, which shocks most of his kids. As this is the first time t
The joint army, responsible for representing King Jayden in this war, quickly rolled out with Jessie’s army leading the way. Each commander integrated the Tier 1 Kingdom soldiers into their ranks as they marched forward. While Jax’s side of the line appeared slightly smaller, those watching them were quickly reminded that his entire army consisted of five hundred Tier 2 warriors. This alone silenced any doubts or criticisms, and they all accepted the situation with a gulp of defeat. It was widely acknowledged now that Jax’s side appeared more secure than the other three general kings’ army. Even though the two general kings were Tier 5 warriors, it didn’t matter much in a large scale war. As they would only be able to fight against hundreds on their own before running out of energy. There was no way they would dare to contend against an army of thousands, well-equipped with war weapons and various cultivation levels. They knew that once their stamina ran out, they would be easi
“ The matter of the king of Almeria could be discussed later, but right now, don’t you think we should focus more on the internal problems within our kingdom?” Harpy asked with shrugged shoulders. “Now that you mention it, I believe it’s crucial that we address it, as I am truly perplexed by one of my children,” King Jayden responded. “Don’t tell me it’s Jax?” Harpy questioned. “Yes, it’s him, He mysteriously became a Tier 2 warrior and a king of a Tier 2 kingdom without my assistance or any help from his siblings, and there was no signs of a kingdom upgrading.” “ It appears that he may seem simple on the surface, but behind those eyes of his, I can sense the potential, patience, and strategic brilliance of a great ruler, It may not be fully active now, but the aura of a conqueror is undeniably within him,” King Jayden commented and glanced at Harpy, expecting his trusted confidant to challenge his observations, only to meet a gaze of tacit acknowledgment. “What?” Harpy queried a
After the tents were constructed, Jax and his two siblings departed from the defensive line upheld by the rest of there human soldier army. As they went to pick a tent among the many, so they could rest their heads during their leisure time on the battlefield. Jax purposely directed his troops to station their tents meters away from the soldiers’ defending point to ensure their resting area remained undisturbed even by the ongoing war. However, before Jax could leave the battlefield to select his tent, he entrusted his command to Connor, the Barbarian Lord. He instructed Connor to handle any situations that arose while he was absent, as he was confident in his reliability and tactical prowess. Jax had chose Connor over the A****n Archer Queen, as her expertise lay in ambushes rather than direct confrontation. Nevertheless, she was someone who would willingly assist Connor in dealing with any additional adversaries using her exceptional archery skills. Connor’s new position as th
After the Orc war envoy left the camp, three soldiers was sent from Jessie’s camp to call the commanders under. Even Jax, who was planning on napping in his tent, was not excused as his attention was also needed and he was called too. The other children of King Jayden could only look on with envy as Jax rode with the other three general King to Jessie’s camp. They all assumed that she called them to discuss the details of the agreement she must have made with the Orcs or the tactics they would be using in the upcoming war. The commanders also spent about two hours in Jessie’s tents before emerging. And by this time, most of the human soldiers were already tired of standing and waiting for orders on what to do next, since they had noticed the Orcs armies had pulled back to their tents. The Orcs they had been watching appeared to have quickly withdrawn under their watch, making their way to the tent located along a tall mountain that resembled a war fortress. The soldiers couldn’t
The Orcs quickly assembled on their side, led by a full Legion of twenty thousand Orcs riding wolf mounts. This Legion, known as the Wolf Rider Battalion, was notorious throughout the Orc empire for their ability to harass and intimidate their opponents. The Orcs held their wolf mounts in high regard, as each rider had been entrusted to them by their kings, who had invested significant resources and funds into raising and training these formidable creatures. And today, a full Legion of twenty thousand Wolf Rider Orcs had been deployed for battle. And to protect the flanks of the Wolf Rider formation, five thousand Orcs were positioned on both the right and left sides. Armed with heavy weapons such as two-handed axes, dual short axes, great swords, maces, shields, and long swords, the Orc soldiers showcased a fearsome array of destructive power that sent shivers down the spines of any human warriors who dared to imagine defending against them. As morale among the human warriors wa
“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
