Chapter 39 Declaration Of War!!!
Arius held Jasmin in his left arm and Eva in his right, and he held Yua in the middle, pushing her against his chest.
All of a sudden, in an instant, they all appeared in the Holy Kingdom's throne room where they saw Alfred drinking wine.
Alfred, sitting on his throne while drinking a glass of wine, spit the red liquid out, seeing them appear out of nowhere.
"Cough, cough, how did you guys get here?" Alfred coughed a little while asking the group how they could just appear out of nowhere.
Arius smiled as he saw his father-in-law and began to explain. "When Jasmin told me about a possible war, I teleported with the girls, so we wouldn't take a while to arrive."
Alfred started to laugh loudly, which caused Arius to tilt his head in confusion.
"Sorry, it's only you who surprises me every time, and how are you able to teleport only 10th-class-star mages can?"
"I'm a 12th-class-star mage." Arius interrupted Alfred's words by dropping a bomb of shock that silenced the whole throne room.
Alfred's body began to shake on his throne. He had his mouth open in an O shape, while sweat began to drip off his face.
"Impossible it's impossible! When did you become the max star rank?!" Alfred shot up from his throne and walked over to Arius, placing both of his hands on each side of his shoulder.
"Probably about a year ago," Arius responded, showing an innocent smile.
Max star ranks or 12th-class-star mages hold the power of demigods who can conquer kingdoms with ease and are capable of fighting tens of thousands of soldiers with the flip of a hand.
Only two people in this world hold that power: the queen of elves and an old man who lives in the mountains.
These two people have a powerful influence on the power balance of the world and both decided not to interfere, knowing it would be too much of a risk to damage the entire world due to their powers.
Arius, on the other hand, couldn't give two shits!
"So, can I, like, rule the whole world?" Arius got into a thinking posture with the idea of ruling the world.
Ba-dump.
Ba-dump.
Ba-dump.
Eva and Jasmin felt their heartbeat quicken as they witnessed Arius's domineering side.
Alfred took a handkerchief out of his pocket and started to wipe his sweat off his forehead while thanking the gods for blessing their family with Arius as a son-in-law.
"Enough about me, what about this possible war?" Arius asked with a serious expression while he looked into Alfred's eyes.
"The Han dynasty at any point could declare war on our kingdom. They have over 650,000 soldiers and 350,000 mages plus with their allies who have around that number as well." Alfred gave all the information he knew to Arius, not hiding anything.
Listening silently to his words, Arius nodded his head while thinking of a way to make sure the commoners don't get caught in the crossfire of this possible war.
An idea popped into Arius's head, and it caused him to smile as if he had just lost his virginity.
"I can deal with all of them," Arius said, speaking his idea out loud.
Jasmin, Eva, Yua, and Alfred couldn't help but feel like they had almost lost their souls due to the shock they had just gone through.
Just imagining Arius vs. 800,000 soldiers questioned if he was a human or a god.
Seeing the shocked looks of everyone, Arius shrugged his shoulders, expecting this outcome.
To be fair, he was quite confident he could win due to fighting over a thousand demon wolves.
Even one demon wolf could easily kill 500 human soldiers.
"Are you sure?" Alfred was the first one to snap out of shock and ask Arius with a worried expression.
"Yep, I'm 1000 percent sure." Arius spread out his arms, showing him how much he wanted to do this by himself.
After a couple of minutes, Alfred nodded his head in agreement. "I will start deploying more soldiers to the wall just in case the worst happens." With these words, he left the room to start preparing for the worst outcome.
Eva, who was the second one that came out of shock, hugged Arius tightly from behind, wrapping her arms around his back. "Stupid Darling." She spoke into his shirt while pouting like a spoiled child.
Jasmin, who was the third out of shock, walked in front of Arius with a glare, putting her hands out from side to side. "You'll have to step on my dead body! I won't let you go, no matter what. Even if you have to kill me, I won't let you go no matter what!"
Arius leaned into her ear. "I'll let you wash my back if you let me go." He whispered with a grin.
p
"You take me as your concubine!" Yua, who was frozen with shock a couple of seconds ago, snapped out of it and pointed her pointer finger at Arius.
"Huh..."
. .
Han Dynasty.
In a giant open field that was 220,500 acres, the king of the Han dynasty, Alastair, sat on his black horse named Shield.
Shield was an elegant, powerfully muscled warhorse who had silver and a little gold armor attached to his body.
Alastair moved his gaze from side to side, observing his 250,000 troops arranged in neat rows from the highest to the lowest rank.
All of these men had knight armor that was enchanted by 4th-grade magic.
Standing next to the troops were 25,000 mages in black and red robes that had the Han dynasty symbol, which was a dark sword going through a skull sowed onto the sides of the fabric.
Alastair looked down to his left to see his son in full black armor, which was enchanted with high-graded magic.
A giant smile formed on his face. "About time, my son seeks his own revenge and enters the battlefield. Good boy, I'm proud." Alastair patted his son on the shoulder.
"Yes, father, I must slay that slut with my own hands!" Von roared in anger.
Just remembering what she did to him makes him enraged.
Nod.
With a nod, Alastair looked over to his troops. "SILENCE!!!" He roared at the top of his lungs, causing the troops to shut up.
Grabbing their full attention, he began to speak at the top of his lungs. "We fight for revenge to honor my son, who was wrongly injured! I the king of the Han dynasty, Alastair Von, announce war on the Holy Kingdom! " He raised his sword in the air, declaring war.
Tens of thousands of troops and mages started chanting the word "kill" upon hearing that they were going to war. "Kill kill kill."
Alastair loved war, for this reason, seeing these soldiers chanting "kill" made him excited about the bloodshed that would commence in a couple of weeks.
News of the declaration of war shocked many kingdoms, empires, and dynasties around the continent.
At this point, every ruler of their respected nations knew that the Holy Kingdom would be destroyed, and this went for the nobles and commoners as well.
One question flew into everyone's mouths.
How long will the Holy Kingdom hold?
A day?
A week?
A month?
A year?
People from all over asked this question and it soon became a hot topic and amusement for these people.
