“Exactly what were you expecting me to do in the first place?, I’m Jayden Freeman, the king of the strongest Tier 4 kingdom in the wastelands,” King Jayden declared.“That’s not true, the Almeria Kingdom is the strongest Tier 4 kingdom in the wastelands,” the spy retorted almost instantly.“Don’t interrupt me, boy, your kingdom doesn’t belong to the wastelands, so I don’t know where you got the idea that you’re entitled to claim it, moreover, you should be classifying yourselves as a Quasi Tier 5 kingdom because you’re in no position to claim to be a Tier 4,” King Jayden rebuked.“Your king was nothing but a fool who led his kingdom to ruin, so, as it stands, I remain the king of the most formidable Tier 4 kingdom in the wastelands, I’m aware that many want me dead, which is why I’ve always kept my cards close to my chest, patiently waiting like a tiger stalking its prey,” King Jayden clarified. While the spy, bound in chains, convulsed with rage upon hearing his king insulted.“Tch!
Jax sat upon his extravagant throne within the confines of his opulent chamber when the regal figure of the Amazon Archer Queen graced his presence. Resting gracefully upon her right hand was an exquisite messenger bird, known only to be bred within the illustrious capital of the J Clan Kingdom.At the mere sight of the bird, Jax’s instincts alerted him that his request had been answered.With his heart racing with anticipation, he crossed the room in swift strides to reach the Amazon Archer Queen as he retrieve the carefully held message nestled in the bird’s leg.Uncertain as to why his father had gone to such lengths, sending a messenger Bird of such bloodline to deliver a seemingly straightforward answer to his question, Jax couldn’t help but wonder at the underlying motives. However, as he clasped the small piece of paper, containing the answer he sought, a surge of nerves washed over him. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, attempting to steady himself, before finally muste
Jax was acutely aware that before long, Connor, the Barbarian captains and the rest of the Barbarian unit would return from their expedition, and when that happened, he planned to initiate a war. However, Jax was still grappled with a lingering sense of conscience, so despite his involvement in past war and bloodshed, he did not see things on the same grounds as the natives of this world. As much as he was tempted to view everything as a game and engage in wanton slaughter of the other kingdom for the benefit of his kingdom, he had begun to regard the residents of his kingdom as people he should protect. This realization alone was sufficient reason for him to see the enemies as living beings rather than mere NPCs, he was determined to have a justifiable reason for any attack, as he did not want to be perceived as a tyrant like his father. So the knowledge of him leaving was something only a few trusted individuals knew, such as his wife and his hero Bulwark, as he set out from hi
Two days after Alec’s return to his kingdom, the news that the most wanted king on the Almeria watch list had ventured out with only five warriors as his escort had not yet spread as no one knew he had been away.Another two days passed, and the Barbarian unit triumphantly returned to Jax’s territory, having completed the cleansing of all the marked spaces King Jayden had designated to Jax. It was a moment of jubilation for the entire city, as the residents of his kingdom poured out to welcome back their brave warriors who had gone forth to uphold the dignity of their realm.This event also presented another chance for those staying in the inn district to catch a glimpse of the beautiful city of Jax. For many, their first sight of the city had been during the Red Hobgoblin bandits’ attack when they were brought in to be conscripted into the emergency district, that experience left many in awe and wonder, having only heard tales of the city’s splendour from the few who had been for
Jax had ordered for the Red Hobgoblin to be brought before him, he had kept the formidable Tier 3 warrior locked in a cell for some time, but now he was about to go to war he realized that it would be a waste to have such warrior who had knowledge of the Goblin kingdom go to waste behind bars without gaining some sort of Intel from him.As the Red Hobgoblin was escorted into the room by two Barbarian captains, his fear-filled eyes scanned beside Jax , shifting towards Connor and Bulwark standing behind him. The Red Hobgoblin knew without a doubt that he wouldn’t stand a chance against either of these two warriors, the dangerous aura emanating from them alone was enough to keep him frozen in place, unable to make a move.And the fact that Jax, as the youngest Star King of the wastelands, had risen to power over with such formidable fighters by his side while ruling over just a Tier 2 kingdom was still a surprising notion to him.“I heard from your confession earlier, you had mentione
Following the system notification, Jax's vision pierced through the radiant light enveloping the figure known as the Red Hobgoblin, but It was evident that referring to him as a Red Hobgoblin now no longer held true, as his skin now possessed a deep blue hue. Not only that, but Jax also observed the presence of intricately armor that have been engraved with ancient runes and a floating great sword beside the transformed Hobgoblin.Gradually, the reborn Hobgoblin descended back to the ground, emanating an aura that seems to closely reach the level of Connor and Bulwark, even though he had not broken through pass the Tier 3 warrior Realm. The assimilation process seemed to have purged Red of impurities within his body, unlocking potentials he never before realized existed, in this transformative process, he had also undergone an evolution.Upon finally regaining consciousness, Red swiftly dropped to his knees, bowing his head in deep deference. His words, spoken with conviction, reso
[ Status]Name: RedRace: Goblin (Hobgoblin)Tier: 3 (Mid) (56%)Army Rank: Captain (Barbarian unit)Affinity: Flame (Unawaken)Upon examining Red’s status, Jax came to understand a few key points, he realized that Red’s status as a integrated unit was clearly distinct from that of his spawn warrior unit. It also became apparent why Red’s aura fell below that of Connor and Bulwark, cause unlike them, Red’s chosen path had only propelled him to the captain level. And Jax understood that Red would need to break through slowly and gradually, unlike the rest of his army, which he could advance to the next realm using Coupon cards or experimental resources from the lab in an instant, these restrictions were only placed on the integrated unit.However, Jax still found Red to be slightly more powerful than most regular warriors he had encountered in the wastelands, so he wasn’t overly concerned.And due to the information he was armed with, he prepared to move out his army under the
The movement of Astrid and Red captured the attention of most of the goblins stationed atop the city gates, they focused their efforts on the left side, desperately attempting to eliminate the relentless onslaught of the charging soldiers.The Amazon Archer Queen remained vigilant, her gaze fixed on the goblin guards positioned on the gate, once she observed their shift of attack towards the left, she summoned one of her captains.“Nala, gather a hundred archers and move them a hundred meters toward the center, then launch an archer assault on the goblins atop the gates to support the barbarian soldiers attacking from the left,” she commanded.With a sense of purpose, Archer captain Nala swiftly carried out her leader’s orders. As she and her archers assumed their positions, Nala raised her star fire bow high while her golden eyes squinted in determination, she issued clear commands as the archers took aim, ensuring they had a clear line of sight to the goblin on the city gates .Co
“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
