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
Before Jax even entered the main hall, he could already hear various shouts coming from behind the door. And the moment he finally passed through, the sight that met his eyes infuriated him. He witnessed the Envoy officials, who his father had sent to coronate him, slapping one of his subjects. His fists clenched in anger, but he quickly released them, sighing as he tried to suppress the anger brewing inside him. Seeing this, Alicia knew Jax was already seething with rage. In the few days she had spent with this new version of her husband, she had come to realize that his anger no longer manifested in loud outbursts. He was now more like a silent bomb, ready to explode when least expected. And these officials had unknowingly triggered him; it was only a matter of time before the explosion occurred. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?!” Jax demanded, his voice filled with controlled fury as he enunciated each word with deliberate pauses. Though he wasn’t shouting, his Q
The officials sent by the Tier 4 King to coronate his son in his Kingdom were initially taken aback by Jax’s barbaric behaviour. They had likely expected to encounter a weakling due to all they have been hearing, but Jax shattered any preconceived notions they may have had along the way. He made it clear that he was not a sheep but a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and a dangerous wolf at that. “I ask once again, does anyone still have something to say?” Jax repeated, his voice filled with authority. This time, the officials snapped out of their dazed state. The one who appeared to be leading the envoy stepped forward, pointing a trembling finger at Jax. “How dare you kill the officials sent by the Royal Court of King Jayden B...,” The leading official began, but hesitated at the end, He was clearly cautious about using any derogatory terms like “bastard,” as he had witnessed the consequences of such an insult earlier. While he may have wanted to make a strong impression in front of
Jax sat on his regal throne, anticipation building as he opened his status tab to assess his newfound wealth. [Status Tab] Name: Jax Freeman King level: Tier 1 King Land level: Town Coins: 113,200 Spirit Coins: 58,600 Coupon: Tier 1 fragments x1000 (ten pieces could be combined to form a complete coupon, which could then be utilized to enhance a hero’s level) A triumphant smile spread across Jax’s face as he beheld the substantial wealth he had acquired in such a short span of time due to the war with the Orcs. With this considerable sum, he felt confident in his ability to defend his town should another war ever rear its ugly head. “Okay, this seems like some sort of experience card, Convert the entire one thousand fragment coupon into complete coupons,” Jax voiced his decision aloud. In an instant, a luminous glow emanated from his hand, resulting in a hundred coupons adorned appearing with depictions of powerful warriors that could be recruited from the barracks. Though
The moment the upgrade finished, a powerful wave of force emanated from Connor, affecting the environment around him. The barbarians were distinct from the warriors of this world; they did not cultivate Qi like others, instead choosing to fight and temper their bodies in the cruellest manner possible. This unconventional method was what granted them their inhuman physique. The Archer Queen, who stood beside Connor, couldn’t help but twitch her lips. She clearly understood what this aura signified, as Her hopes of putting up a struggle against Connor were instantly shattered, As he had ascended to another realm effortlessly and would have no difficulty defeating her now, armed with his newfound strength. While the Archer Queen worried about the discrepancy in power between herself and Connor, Jax had his own concerns. He noticed that the cost of Connor’s revival had increased alongside his newfound powers. Furthermore, Connor had acquired a new skill called barbarian charge. Th
After three days of travel, the Royal envoys finally arrived at the capital of King Jayden. Without even taking a moment to rest after their long journey, they immediately requested an audience with King Jayden, brimming with anticipation to see him for the first time.At first, the Royal guards of King Jayden were surprised by their anxious expressions. However, upon realizing that there were only four envoys instead of the expected five, they knew that something had gone awry during their journey. The missing envoy, and one more envoy who seems to have lost his hand, only confirmed their suspicions that an incident had occurred.The guards promptly notified the King that the envoy he had sent to his child village-kingdom had returned and desired to report to him immediately. Although this situation unsettled King Jayden, as the ruler of a Tier 4 kingdom that had endured numerous battles, he understood that the envoys wouldn't be this eager to see him if it wasn't of great importa
The Royal envoys wasted no time in exposing the truth, revealing all that had transpired in Jax’s throne room. Witnessing the king cold-bloodedly kill one of their own forced them to speak up, fearing they may be next in line. In that moment, they couldn’t help but recall the saying that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. In their eyes, Jax was a younger version of his father, not only in appearance but also in his barbaric behaviour. However, his father possessed even greater power, instilling a deep fear within them. King Jayden seemed to be like a demonic beast, ready to tear them apart for any mistakes they might make. This earned him the title of the Demon King in their minds. After hearing all the details, it became clear to the king that the envoys he had sent had purposely made things difficult for Jax, even though he had just achieved a great victory by defeating a thousand Orcs and capturing three of them for interrogation that the envoy had even brought back.
The reason for Jax's smile was his increased sense of security while traveling to the capital, now that he was officially a King of a Tier 2 kingdom and possessed Tier 2 warrior strength.During the Royal envoy's journey, Jax had took the opportunity to upgrade his Town Hall/Palace to the next level. It required him to pay ten thousand coins, and after some negotiation, the head builder agreed to undertake the work.Despite feeling wealthier, Alec couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration at the thought of losing a tenth of his overall wealth. He still struggled to adjust to the habit of spending money carelessly, and the shrewd smile of the head builder seemed to mock him as he was always ripped off again.After a span of two days, his Town Hall upgrade was completed. And Without wasting any time, Jax immediately commenced the upgrade of his barracks, eager to unlock the next unit of warriors.This was when he acquired the mini giant unit, which resembled a heavy infantry squ
