I Just want a Peaceful life-Chapter 593 Blitzkrieg
"So, unless you want to be punished for insubordination, you should keep your mouth shut." said Duchess Amberblaze with her piercing glare.
"Y-You won't dare!!" replied Duke Blue back.
"Why I not dare?!! What makes you think I didn't dare to beat you up here when I usually mocked Leon in front of his face?!" said Duchess Amberblaze while pointing her greatsword.
Hearing this, the Duke Blue couldn't help but take a step back with a cold sweat. Before the news about the Duchess and King Leon together was revealed, everyone knew that the only person that dared to fight the cold-blooded King Leon was Duchess Amberblaze.
Every high noble often witnesses their grueling argument that often turns into a battle. Even if the Duchess knows King Leon will never truly hurt her, not everyone can withstand the terrible pressure from King Leon.
As a result, the other nobles rarely want to interact with Duchess Amberblaze. Their usual political games are useless in front of this brazen woman. They will never know when this woman snapped and beat them to the point of death.
"Woahhh… So cool!! Go! Go! Mffphhh…" cheered the naughty Anna before her mouth was closed by Angus.
"Hushh… Anna, stay silent." said Angus.
Angus is really helpless toward Anna. The little girls have become more brazen and naughty lately. Fortunately, Duke Blue ignored Anna and chose to leave them after grumbling a little bit.
After the Duke Blue is gone, "Nice Flashy Red is so cool. It's so exciting." exclaimed Anna happily.
Hearing this, the Duchess couldn't help but sigh and pat Anna's head. Although she still finds Anna's presence disturbing when she transforms or fights, she can't help but have a soft spot for the naughty little girl after what they have been through during their journey.
If Anna is not monster-minded, she probably already claimed her as her adoptive daughter or something similar.
Meanwhile, the whole Archdale Hold, the Nergal Fortress, is in a state of panic and chaos. The news about Heart Kingdom's army moving towards them had already spread to everyone. Every soldier knows this will be a hard defensive battle, even with King Andvari at their side.
They lost too many elite knights and fifth-grade combatants in the previous battle. Besides King Andvari and the duke/duchess, only a few fifth-grade generals are stationed there. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦
It means the lower-grade knights must face Heart Kingdom's fifth-grade combatant when the fight begins.
There is a vast difference between lower-grade people and fifth-grade people. A single fifth-grade person could easily kill dozens of lower-grade people without too much effort. This is basic common knowledge that anyone knows.
Therefore, every soldier in the Archdale Hold becomes more restless toward the incoming army. They still didn't fully recover from Jade's last attack. Now, they hear the Heart Kingdom will launch a full-scale invasion.
If King Andvari didn't give a strict order to execute any deserter, many soldiers would have run away long ago. On the other hand, King Andvari could only wait for the incoming army. He could notice Jade's presence in front of the marching army.
"Damn!! What I fear is finally happening!!" grumbled King Andvari.
'The moment I move, Jade will be ready to intercept and fight me before reaching the Heart army. Although Jade is still a new seventh grade, I couldn't defeat him in a short period.'
'There is a chance he will get help from the other Duke/Duchess in the army. The worst case scenario is that Leon will also arrive and join the battle.' thought King Andvari.
He still remembers how fast Leon arrived at the battlefield during the last battle. It shows the Heart kingdom's efficiency in terms of teleportation and communication.
"Fuck!! Goddammit!! Summon all of the sixth grade we have in the kingdom!! I want all of them here before tomorrow morning!" roared King Andvari towards his subordinate.
"Y-Yes, sir." replied the Adjutant in fear.
"Hmph!! Don't think you have already won, Leon. You will pay a huge price to bring me down." said King Andvari.
King Andvari knows Nergals currently lack middle-level power. He will need to pay a considerable price to procure more people from the outside.
In the meantime, far away from the Humnia Grassland the border of Nergal and Heart Kingdom stood a uniquely shaped stronghold. This stronghold is called Jaagarmouth Stronghold. A massive fortress that is riddled with spikes in the surrounding.
This stronghold is the border between the Heart Kingdom and the Udrary Kingdom. Unlike Nergal and Heart kingdom, which are separated by vast Humnia grassland, Urdrary and Heart Kingdom are separated only by dozens of kilometers away empty wasteland.
In the middle of the night, a group of people occupied the teleportation room of Jaagarmouth Stronghold. Suddenly, the teleportation platform shone before six people suddenly appeared.
Besides the blonde-haired person in the middle, the other five people look pale from the teleportation disorientation. Without wasting any moment, the blonde-haired man steps out from the platform towards the other blonde-haired person in the room.
"Jacob, is everything ready?" asked King Leon.
"Yes, My Lord. We are ready to deploy anytime." replied Jacob respectfully.
"Good. Dot it!!" said King Leon while walking out of the teleportation room.
A moment later, the whole stronghold turns hectic as the main gate opens and releases a large number of knights riding various kinds of the beast mount. At the same time, hundreds of griffin riders take off from the stronghold to march toward the Urdrary Kingdom.
King Leon ignored the marching troops and took out a pendant on his neck. Opening the pendant, he could see a picture of three women.
The first one is his lover Extalia Amberblaze, and the other two are blonde women with similar faces to him and Jayna. It is a picture of the deceased princess, Ellyn Heart and Elia Heart. King Leon touches Ellyn's picture with a deep sigh.
"Ellyn, don't worry. I will burn them all." said King Leon with anger while gripping his fist tightly.
In a moment, the marching army feels tremendous pressure from their king before suddenly disappearing. This gives all the marching soldiers more assurance and raises their morale, especially the Sur Knights.
The Urdrary kingdom's stronghold, Galbury Fortress and their generals also detected this large movement in the middle of the night. They were already prepared for retaliation from the Heart Kingdom since they dared to attack Jaagarmouth Stronghold before.
Although they already gave some compensation to the Heart Kingdom, it still didn't leave a chance for the Heart to attack them. Moreover, their relationship is never good since the death of Ellyn Princess.
However, they didn't expect the Heart Kingdom to launch a surprise attack at this moment since they also heard the significant movement in Windshire Fort.
*Bub* *Bub* *Bub* *Bub* Just as the generals try to order and calm their soldier, he hears various muffled explosions from far away. Soon, everyone notices something thrown toward them at a fast speed.
"Incoming!! Raise the barrier!!" yelled the general.
The barriers are raised in time and intercept whatever is thrown at them. *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* As soon as the things touched hit the barrier, they exploded and illuminated the surrounding like a day for a moment.
*Arrgghh* *Arrgghh* *Arrgghh* After the thunderous sound is heard by everyone, the general hears a cry all over the fortress.
Most soldiers in the walls and open spaces are riddled with small holes. The general notices a few small balls scattered everywhere after the initial explosion.
"What is this?!!" muttered the general in fear.
*Bub* *Bub* *Bub* *Bub* Once again, everyone in the fortress hears a similar muffled explosion as the last one.
Noticing the barrier was already broken from the previous attack, "Fuck!! Take Cover!!" roared the general while hiding inside.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* Explosions were heard all over the place and shook the whole fortress.
"Informed the capital city!! We are under attack!!" ordered the general to the nearby surviving soldiers.
At the same time, the general decides to lead the rest of the soldiers who are still inside toward their stables. The Urdrary kingdom is famous for its beast rider. They are the kingdoms that produce the best beast tamer in this region.
Therefore, they rarely rely on their fortress wall and prefer to fight directly. Despite this reckless and simple tactic, they manage to fend off the attack from the Heart Kingdom many times.
"Calm down, everyone!! We only need to buy some time while running on the field until reinforcements come." said the general while rallying the beast rider.
The general rides his beast mount, Silverblood Wolf. Then, he moves out from the stables along with the remaining soldiers. Seeing the ruined fortress filled with corpses and strange rounded iron balls gives everyone a dreadful feeling. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
Before the general could order to open the gate, all the small iron balls that littered all over the fortress dimly lit.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* The whole fortress was blown up for a few minutes, leaving no walls intact and only a few survivors. In less than fifteen minutes, the entire fortress was destroyed.
"Damn… Valter and his team are creating something outrageous." exclaimed Anne, leader of the explosion squad.
