Ynder's time limit and attack on Berus duchy
In the count mansion, in a brightly lit room that oozes richness, sits a man with a striking facial feature and his unique set of deep purple eyes on the long sofa, which one can clearly tell is made of high-quality material.
Behind that man stands a woman, wearing a Victorian maid dress matching the same level of attractiveness as that man.
As the man was enjoying the tea, the woman suddenly spoke.
"Master, can I ask you a question?"
Sun, who was enjoying his tea, turns around and observes the woman's face for a moment before nodding his head in approval.
"Master, why did you kill that agent?"
The man put the cup down and spoke.
"Why riona? Are you mad that I killed one of your species people on my wimps?" he said with a grin.
Riona, hearing this, immediately nodded her head in denial.
"Not at all, master. You are a supreme being; you can do anything you want, but from what I know, you don't do anything without any reason."
Sun who heard that, smiled gently and replied with a satisfied tone of voice.
"You had known me well during the past month. And the answer to that previous question is; among the people present there, only that person was not a human; I think he was vampire. Maybe a spy from the vampiric nation." Sun picked up a biscuit from the tray.
"Check up more about this." Said Sun, before checking the biscuits in his hand.
But then the door opens, and a brown-haired man enters, looking disoriented.
The brown-haired man is none other than Ynder.
Ynder walked towards Sun who was sitting on the sofa with hurried steps and stopped just in front of him.
He immediately drops to his knees and greets the man before him with a loud roar that shakes the whole mansion.
"I, Ynder, your faithful servant, am present to serve my sky and my ruler."
Sun who got such extraordinary greetings broke into a huge grin, stood up from his couch, and placed his hand on the shoulder of the Ynder.
"Good to see you again. You have almost stabilized your powers. So how do you feel?" asked sun, maintaining his dignity and not becoming too friendly.
"I feel great, ruler. It was my blessing to join Dragevils." Answer Ynder.
" Good." But suddenly, the atmosphere got chilly.
"But I don't feel great about thinking that some insignificant people dare to fange towards us." Said Sun in displeased tone, which signaled Ynder's need to explain his preparation for the upcoming war with Duke of Beus.
"We are extremely sorry, ruler, but a plan is in motion." ynder replied nervously.
But then Ynder heard a chilling laugh. Hearing that, Ynder was so afraid that he did not even lift his head to see why Sun is laughing.
He know that even his slightest misbehavior can trigger his doom.
After few minutes of laughter, Sun spoke.
"You don't understand; if you have power, you don't make plans; you simply crush those insects. Plans are to compensate for a lack of strength.
10 day!! You have 10 days to finish this war and establish your family as an elite family .
Understand?."
Ynder was flabbergasted and equally terrified by the words of the sun, as he knew very well what the consequences would be if he failed.
But Ynder calms himself down by giving himself a reminder that he is a SSS class cultivator while his opponent is SS rank; moreover, due to the extra perk of being Dragevil species, he can now even fight a mid-rank SSS class cultivator on an equal footing, so he has no reason to fear that he will not be able to complete the task assigned by Sun.
After gathering all the thoughts in Ynder's mind, he replied with confidence.
"Yes, ruler."
Sun, who listens to it, smiles internally and says it in a formal tone.
"I will stay here during those 10 days."
Ynder, who listens to it, became both extremely happy and also fearful because a single mistake could cost his and his family's lives also if this person is pleased, only sky is limit.
"Yes, ruler, as you may wish." Said Ynder with a bow.

After 3 days
In a faraway land in the Leia Kingdom, Meo, the capital of the Berus duchy, stands a castle in the heart of the city.
In one of the castle's rooms, a middle-aged man, with a serious expression reads a report presented by his subordinate.
After reading it, he set the bundle of papers on the table in front of him and summoned someone.
"Is anyone out there?"
His call was answered immediately by a man coming into the room, dressed in a butler's suit.
"Duke Berus, you called," asked the butler, giving the man a small blow in the process.
Heret nodded his head instantly and responded,
"Assemble generals in the war room."
After hearing that, the butler immediately said, "Yes," and hurried out of the room to finish the job.
After a few moments, Heret also left towards the war room.
Heret Upon arriving in the war room, one is greeted by four people, of whom one can tell that they are not ordinary people but that they have the aura of battle-hardened war veterans.
All the generals immediately greated the heret in unison with a kneel and one hand on their chest.
"Lord of the West, our roof and protector, your highness Duke Berus, we are here to respond to your call."
Heret just nodded his head and immediately indicated to the generals to take their respective seats, in the process taking his own seat.
After that, they started to speak about general topics and war preparation.
During the meeting, Heret asked a questioned.
"The bandit king—what about him? He has not updated us yet?"
Immediately, one of the generals replied to Heret's question.
"Their response has not been received, Lord. But in our agent's recent report, it was said that in the vicinity of their base, there were signs of fighting; however, before our team could report further, they were either killed or taken as prisoner.
Even traders were forbidden from entering that part of forest area, and anyone who dared was executed by ballad's County soldiers, regardless of who approached. As a result, no spy who had entered the forest returned."
Hearing the answer, Heret began to wonder what would happen to Bandit King and his followers, but he was unsure of the precise circumstances.
Following that, Heret and his generals talk about various strategies for the upcoming war.
Before starting the second part of the meeting, Heret gave his general some time alone, and he also left to relax in his parlor room during break time.

After Heret left the room, one of the generals spoke.
"For such a weak county, they sure are giving us a hard time."
Another general gave a nod of agreement and said.
"Yes, but I couldn't understand why the Lord has not marched our army to Ballad County. And what the fuck is that person from the intelligence department doing?"
However, out of nowhere, a voice cut them off.
"Generals, refreshment is here. May I come in?"
A gorgeous, sensual-looking woman with a priceless wine bottle in her hand entered the room when one of the generals said "yes."
Only after that woman called, did the generals, who had been fascinated by her appearance, snap to reality.
"General, Lord Berus has sent these particular jade white wines. May I have the honor to serve our mighty generals?"
The four generals kept their composure and nodded in agreement, but their only internal thought was how to make love to this woman.
A while later, the same woman was observed leaving the general's room and vanishing from view, as if she had never been there.
In the parlor room
After the lengthy discussion with the generals, he was unwinding and about to sip his favorite wine when someone dressed all in black materialized in front of him in his room.
"Master, please stop!!" Almost ready to take a sip of wine, Heret stops and gives the masked man a menacing look.
"How arrogant of you! You seem to have forgotten who you work for."
The man instantly assumed the dogeza pose and uttered it in a trembling voice.
"Master, you can take my life for this behavior, but please don't drink that; it may be poisoned as our four generals have been found dead in their rooms."
As soon as Heret heard that, he put down the wine and asked in a serious tone.
"Who dares?"
His mana erupted as he asked, filling the room with a crimson mana haze that emanated from his body.
Even as an S-rank entity, the cloaked guy was powerless against the heret's pressure.
