The King's Battle (3)

Peng!

A muffled sound rang out as Lori's fist covered with haki smashed heavily against the back of the elder. The elder's expression immediately went downhill while the sweet taste of blood rushes out from his mouth.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed out from his mouth and his whole body landed heavily on the ground.

Bam!

Lori stomps on the back of the elder and looks down with his freezing glare. When he saw the clothes that this man was wearing, he knew he belongs to a force. "Tell me, where did you come from and why are you with the Redstone Kingdom army?"

Feeling the heavy foot pressing his whole body down, the elder couldn't stand even if he wanted. With blood still coming out from his mouth, he replied, "I came from the Vile Blood Church. If you kill me, my organization won't let you and your Silverwing Kingdom go!"

"Let you go? Alright I will let you go"

When the elder heard that the young man will let him go, a puzzled expression appeared on his face. He didn't expect that the young man will really let him go. He must have been scared by our organization. "Then remov-"

He didn't have any time to finish his words as a thin sharp string flashed across him. "Let you go to hell and report your sins. Do you really think I care about your threat?!"

After killing the elder, Lori took the elder's space ring and put it in his pocket. 'I'll see what you have later'

His figure then disappeared and chase the retreating army.

'F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!" General Vrelk cursed madly inside his mind. 'That young man is wearing the armor of the kings. He should be the new young king that waa circulating around. Why is that monster so strong, he's still so young and his strength already reached this level!'

Aarrggh!

Behind him, miserable cries sounded and his heart immediately beat wildly. Sounds of flesh being slashed and cut ring inside his mind. He turns his head trying to see the situation, however, he immediately regretted that.

He felt his balls turned cold and suddenly shrinks as he saw a severed head of a soldier flying towards him.

"Don't worry I won't kill you for now. You still have some use to me" suddenly a voice sounded making his whole being tremble. Him a brave and powerful general of the Redstone Kingdom has his face covered in fear.

A thick root suddenly moves and coiled around the body of General Vrelk like a giant python.

General Vrelk knew that the young man was intending to leave him alive has a bad feeling in his heart. He gritted his teeth and tries to use his strong physical strength to break free. However, it ended in nothing as the roots coiling around him just becomes tighter.

Fearing that he would be squashed to death. He stops moving and just surrendered to his fate. There is nothing he could do. Move around and die, or just remain there not moving and there is a possibility to live.

The fleeing soldiers have long felt regret flooded in their hearts. They have already lost the will to resist as they just run. Weapons were discarded and armors were taken off. Everyone knew that even the smallest thing that can weigh and slow them down needed to be thrown away.

In just over an hour, thousands of soldiers from the Redstone Kingdom was killed inside the forest. Leaves were dyed by their blood and the thick stench permeated into the air. Lori didn't feel anything when he thought that he had killed thousands of lives.

Because he knew that what he did was the same as what his enemies were trying to do.

Lori returned to his captured general as if nothing happened.

"Is it over?" a low voice escapes from the general's mouth with his head lowered.

"No, it is far from over. The war that your kingdom started. It is my Silverwing Kingdom who will end it" Lori said with his words containing authority.

General Vrelk raises his head and looks at the young king. He guesses that this young king's age is about the same as his son in the capital. But even with their ages quite similar, they are far from each other.

"What will happen to me?"

Lori just stares at the general and didn't answer. Going here he wanted to gain real experience at the same time test his strength. And now he realized, he had been fighting against people like Danzo, Katakuri, and Unohana in this past months. Their strength is far above from weak people like the general and the elder from Vile Blood Church. If he wanted to fight a true master, maybe he can find them in a medium or high-level kingdom.

There is also the powerhouses from different sects, academy, and organization. Maybe he should visit them when he has the time.

Days later, Lori and the army he brought were staying inside the Iron Fortress. The situation outside is already good and most of the bodies were disposed of. The only thing remaining is a lush green forest spanning about 3 kilometers.

As for General Vrelk who was captured, he was rather unfortunate. Lori sends him to the capital and lets Danzo with his men gather information from him.

"King, this is sent by an eagle from the capital" a soft voice sounded and Natasha arrived holding a letter.

In his stay in this fortress, Natasha acts like she was his right-hand man. She was really helpful to him this time and Lori appreciates it.

Opening the letter, Lori reads it and an amused expression appeared on his face.

The letter contains current information about the Redstone Kingdom. From what it says, the Redstone Kingdom like the Molon Kingdom in the west also surrendered to the Blacksummit Kingdom.

With the push and help from a medium level kingdom, they were planning to swallow the Silverwing Kingdom that remains neutral in this war.

"Prepare the army, we will advance forward to the land of Redstone Kingdom. It's time to expand our land and advance past the border" Lori declared.

Natasha was startled by Lori's sudden declaration. However, she noticed the serious expression on his face and she immediately went out to inform the soldiers.

Redstone City, Redstone Kingdom

In the capital city of the Redstone Kingdom, the whole atmosphere was gloomy. Dark cloud hovered at the top of the city like something ominous will happen. Cold wind was blowing giving making everyone feel cold.

"Tens of thousands of our army! It is tens of thousands of our army that died in that attack! Didn't every one of you told me that our army can easily break that Iron Fortress?! How about now? They didn't even manage to take a single step inside the fortress and they were all killed!" king Sanborn yelled madly at his people. His entire army that attacked the fortress of the Silverwing Kingdom was destroyed. Even General Vrelk a rank A warrior was defeated, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

The ministers of the kingdom didn't dare to look up at the king and just maintained his current position with his head lowered.

Even the generals lowered their heads in shame because of this loss. They couldn't understand it, how can a low-level kingdom destroyed a whole army easily.

"How about the help from the Vile Blood Church?" someone asked.

"Killed, they are all killed. Those people acted like they are so powerful. In the end, all of them were just a bunch of trash" one general said with his words filled with disdain to the people from the Vile Blood Church.

"Your majesty, how about we asked help from the Blacksummit Kingdom. With our current loss, it would be near impossible to send out another army. I'm sure that they will help us as the one who will benefit greatly was them" one minister suggested. He found that what he said was very reasonable. And if they send help, dealing with the Silverwing Kingdom will be very easy.
