Chapter 11

War is no longer inevitable. There were sixty thousand troops on the enemy side, while on Arthur's side there were only fifteen thousand troops. The numbers are quite different. However, the differences did not discourage the people of Aqua.

 Arthur believed that he and the army of only a few ten thousand, would win the war, even though they only had one percent hope.

Arthur did not want to swallow the disappointment after being left by Agatha. He didn't want to be disappointed a second time.

Arthur will try as hard as he can to protect, the palace and the other Aqua people, even if his life is at stake.

Arthur's horse steps are so fast, so are Steven and Zeus who are chasing behind him. They were followed by fifteen thousand valiant troops.

They consisted of cavalry and several thousand troops mounted on giant eagles. They are soldiers with high skills, consisting of an army of archers, swords and bare hands.

Some of them also came from the common people. However, their abilities should not be doubted either. Their prowess in playing weapons is not much different, with the soldiers who have been trained.

Although the military system was not mandatory in the Aqua kingdom, they were young men and adults, training hard independently. Even if they don't follow the training system in the palace, they are still proficient in weapons and martial arts.

If the military system is not required in Aqua, then it is different in Shiners. All men, whether young or mature, must attend the training that applies there. They were trained like palace soldiers, indiscriminately.

This is done, in order to train them physically to be ready to fight in every situation that exists. Like this time. Sixty thousand troops, not a small number, just to conquer a small Kingdom like the Aqua kingdom.

The Aqua nation is fine, they have power below the Shiners, but they have the power of Immortality.

A Nation or Kingdom, which has descendants from Immortality, will become a Nation that is feared on Planet Airraksa.

Immortality is the greatest form of power of the God Jupiter. The strongest god believed by the entire Nation of Planet Airraksa. The power of Immortality only exists once every thousand years, and whoever possesses that power, is a descendant of God Jupiter himself.

That is why, the child in Agatha's womb is highly sought after by Orion. A king who is known for his greed and pride. All nations on the planet Airraksa, know that Orion is the most cruel King.

So far, Orion has never left his territory, but after hearing the news that Immortality has arrived in the Aqua nation, this is the reason why Orion muster all troops to conquer the Aqua Nation.

Arthur looked at the sea of ​​people which was now filled with blood. His eyes widened, when he saw that many of his troops were killed by the attack from Orion.

It was a sight that made Arthur grit his teeth. His grip on the ropes attached to his horse, represented his anger, at Orion's cruelty.

 "How ruthless! He is indeed a savage King! This can't be left alone. Your Majesty allow me to fight now. It feels like my sword is about to cut off the savage King's head!" growled Zeus, holding his sword ready to be drawn.

Arthur, who was on his horse, chuckled at Zeus' enthusiasm, "Calm your anger, Zeus. Don't be provoked by Orion's tactics. I know Orion's cunning nature."

Arthur didn't want to give Zeus permission to go to war, but he just wanted Zeus not to be rash in making decisions.

Right now, a single action could change the course of the war. That's why Arthur restrained Zeus first. However, the young man did not accept Arthur's orders. He waved one hand, in annoyance.

Arthur and Steven both chuckled in amusement, seeing Zeus' expression holding back anger, making the young man's face amused both of them.

While slaughtering Aqua soldiers one by one, Orion suddenly stopped moving his sword. Now his eyes were on Arthur and Steven, and the young man he thought had great courage.

The three were still on the horses, while Orion had already dismounted. He hurriedly went to his horse, and got on the horse's back. With a single snap, the horse sped towards Arthur and the others, who were several hundred meters away.

During his journey, Orion continued to draw his sword at the Aqua warriors. Some of them died from the swing of Orion's sword, which cut their necks and chests.

The sight that made Arthur's heart slashed with a sword. Hearing the screams of his soldiers make, Arthur increasingly angry. The bottom line of his eyes was red, and blue light flashed from his eyes.

Steven, who was not far from Arthur, could feel the aura of a strong fighter, Arthur was trying to cover up. Even though it has been muted, in fact it can still be felt.

Orion was already standing a few meters away, "You've finally come, Arthur!" cried Orion, raising his bloodied sword.

It was the blood of the Aqua warrior who had been knocked out. Of course seeing the blood flowing on the sword, made Arthur even more angry. Arthur wanted to draw his sword, but he refused to do so.

"You saw my sword, Arthur. You must have known, whose blood is on this sword." Orion shrugged his shoulders and laughed loudly, feeling satisfaction in his heart.

Countless how many lives his sword has taken. Orion felt that above the clouds, victory would soon be in his hands, and Immortality was already before his eyes.

What Orion didn't know was, Immortality actually didn't exist in the Aqua Kingdom, which made Arthur smile.

He could already guess what Orion was thinking. In fact, what Orion is after is Immortality, it can be believed that before Immortality is not in his hands, then Orion will not stop the war.

Seeing the smile on Arthur's face, raised a big question for Orion. He couldn't read Arthur's current direction. However, he did not lower his guard.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to fight that savage King!" snorted Zeus, who gave Orion a sharp glance, without lowering his guard.

The young man had been holding the sword at his waist ever since. He longed to draw his sword, and draw it at Orion.

Arthur raised one hand, again and again he restrained Zeus from taking action. Orion who was on his horse immediately chuckled. The spirit that the young man showed seemed to make Orion want to recruit him to be the commander in chief in his army.
