War Between Kingdoms (2)

"They are?" Lori noticed the three people in the distance running away from his direction. From the clothes that they wear, he was sure that they weren't a soldier of the Redstone Kingdom. And the aura that they were releasing was too weak to be called as an expert.

"Adventurers, they should be a group of adventurers that came here for some missions. Redstone Valley is a famous site for adventurers and you will see them here from time to time. Although they are from the Redstone Kingdom, adventurers didn't have any affiliation to any kingdom. Adventurers were run by the Adventurers Guild which is one of the largest organizations in the whole continent"

"They are a group of people that will move for the rewards. They have a guild in each kingdom and their influence is much more vast even when compared to an empire" Natasha explained to Lori. When she came to the capital of the Brightmoon Kingdom in the past. She had seen and talked to many adventurers. Some of them were weak, while some were stronger than her a rank A warrior.

Even the king of the Brightmoon Kingdom must respect them especially the guild master in the capital. The guild master is a rank S powerhouse that is said to be even stronger than the generals of the kingdom.

Listening to Natasha's explanation Lori suddenly thought of something. In the capital of his kingdom, there is no adventurers guild. The only organization in his kingdom is the Mercenary Union that is located in the Mountain Cloud City.

The army ignored the three and slowly march forward.

As time goes by in the Redstone Valley. They've encountered many attacks from magical beasts. Fortunately, they were just a low-rank magical beast and can be easily killed.

"We will rest here for today and will continue to advance tomorrow" with the sky already turned dark, Lori decided to rest in the valley with the army.

The valley was wide and it stretches for hundreds of kilometers. If there is an attack, they will immediately spot it.

Soldiers constructed tents, while some knight patrols around the area.

Inside his tent, Lori has his eyes closed as he remained completely still in his position. He is training to be one with nature and balance the natural energy with their own physical and spiritual energy. Two knights were standing guard outside the tent preventing anyone from entering and disturbing Lori.

On the other tent, Natasha was polishing her sword carefully. She would glance at the direction of Lori's tent several times. She still couldn't forget the ability that he showed in the battle outside the Iron Fortress. She even started to think of asking his help to take revenge against their enemy.

But she quickly discarded this idea as she knew that it was not appropriate for them to ask him this request. He had already saved them, and they already owe him a debt of life.

The night quickly passed by and it is already time to move. The soldiers were already finished cleaning up the things as they started to go into formation.

"Let's go!" Lori said and the whole army followed behind him.

When the afternoon came, Lori and the army arrived several kilometers away from Redstone City. Redstone City was built at the end of a volcano. Its tall red walls stand several meters high. Multiple towers were erected with multiple soldiers in them. Even just by watching the city from afar, Lori could tell that this Redstone City is much more extraordinary than the capital city of his kingdom.

Outside the city, an army was waiting for them to arrive. Their numbers are at least 10,000 soldiers wearing crimson red armors. They were the remaining forces that the Redstone Kingdom manages to set up these days. At the back of the army, a throne was being carried and a man was sitting there.

King Sanborn, the king of the Redstone Kingdom came to watch the war between the two kingdoms. Beside his throne, a young man was standing with an indifferent look on his face. He stares at the army of the Silverwing Kingdom with disdain in his eyes. As if the enemy was only a small ant and ready to be trampled.

"Young prince, that is the army of the Silverwing Kingdom. They dared to act against us this time, clearly not putting the Blacksummit Kingdom in his eyes. I humbly ask the young prince to let them experience your strength and let their whole army be buried ten feet underground" King Sanborn said with his face full of smiles. At this moment, he doesn't look like a king. Rather, he looks like a dog fawning over his master.

The young man was the Fifth Prince of the Blacksummit Kingdom. He came here to help the Redstone Kingdom defeat the Silverwing Kingdom. For him, this was just an easy task. With the strength of his kingdom, he was confident that a low-level kingdom like the Silverwing Kingdom will fold their wing and obediently surrender. If not, their kingdom will face the might of a medium level kingdom.

The Fifth Prince waves his hand and an old man appeared beside him, "Tell the enemy to surrender and kneel in front of this prince and swear allegiance to the Blacksummit Kingdom. If not, the consequences are something they couldn't bare"

With the arrogant words of the Fifth Prince, King Sanborn smiled wickedly. 'With the help of the Blacksummit Kingdom. My Redstone Kingdom will eventually rise in power. We might even be able to upgrade in the future and become a medium level kingdom'

The old man nodded and his figure immediately flashes forward towards the Silverwing Army.

Lori noticed that someone was coming and his eyes squinted.

An old man arrived just several meters away in front of Lori. He was glaring at Lori with his deep eyes and said, "My master the Fifth Prince of the Blacksummit Kingdom ordered you and your troops to surrender and swore allegiance to him. Because you destroyed the army of the Redstone Kingdom. Your Silverwing Kingdom will give two cities to the Redstone Kingdom as compensation. Aside from that, the men you brought will be given to the Redstone Kingdom to replace the dead soldiers that you've killed"

Arrogant!

If Lori would describe them, then the word arrogant best describes this old man and his master the Fifth Prince.

A smug smile appeared in Lori's face and he responds, "What if I don't?"

The expression of the old man didn't change and said calmly like he can control everything. "I just want to remind you, this is not a request from the prince. This is an order. And if you don't want to follow the order. Then there is no need for a person like you to live"

"Hahahaha! Good, good, good. Tell your prince that this king wants to see what he can do to me. A white face like him should stay away from other's business" with his voice filled with disdain, Lori said with an icy look on his face. Since they wanted to join this war, then let them be.

The outcome of the battle is already decided even before it starts. Adding one or two person, won't change anything. It will just add another blood to spill in this land.
