The Knight(1)
THUD
As the scene of the explosion trinkets dropping on the remaining group of the Withering Leaf Sect appeared on the display trinket in the throne room of the Black Raven Kingdom, both the Black Raven King and the old man stood up in a rush that displayed the shock they felt.
Practically all the forces in Angaria knew about the skirmish between the Withering Leaf Sect and the Lanthanor Kingdom.
In fact, this wasn't very rare. Throughout the history of the continent, there had been numerous instances where a Kingdom which had just undergone a change in leadership with tumultuous events had ended up conflicting with a different force soon after.
This was a pattern that occurred too much to be called a coincidence. Each time, the mettle of the ruler who had newly ascended to their position would be tested.
Although the conflicts seldom resulted in forces being completely destroyed, it was always the case that a force would drop in power while another would rise.
