Kapitel 3: The Crazy Prick of Ironfort

As the spit dripped down his face, Prince Neebo's eyes burned with rage. His body trembled in fury and humiliation. His mind was once again in chaos, bombarded with a storm of confusion.

Furious, Prince Neebo focused on who this people are.

They were adorned with armors of authority. Their faces seem unfamiliar. And his gaze zoomed into a symbol within the lavish young man's yellow robes. In the Great Kingdom of Ethos, there were several subsidiary kingdoms under it. And the distinct characteristics of these subsidiary kingdoms were the colors the use on their royal robes.

This young man man seem to be part of a royal family of another subsidiary kingdom. As far as he could remember, the kingdom of Hazel Grove wear the colors of yellow. But it is a kingdom that settle's west of Ethos, and separates from Ironfort for about 200 kilometers away.

"Ho.. how can I... have a... cowardly master... that hides behind.. someone... else's?" Prince Neebo strugglingly uttered. "How... shameful! A power.. full expert... obeying.. a weak and cowardly... master!"

Provoked, the sage looking elder made a grabbing motion and lifted his right arm. This movement resulted a great reaction coming from Prince Neebo. As he was lifted a meter high through the air and making it look so, like his entire body was being clasped by an invisible giant hands.

"What kind of power is this?!" confusion and amazement rushed into Prince Neebo. He was certain that this elder is not just an ordinary cultivator. From what he know, Qi Condensation cultivators doesn't have the power to manipulate and control anything around them. But this person can, He must be someone at the Foundation Establishment stage!

"HAHA! remarkable elder Bai! leave him like that for a moment and let me handle the disciplinary actions!" the lavish young man exclaimed joyfully.

"As you wish Prince Archilles." the sage looking elder, Elder Bai acknowledged the request.

His furious glare couldn't be taken away from his pained circumstance. Prince Neebo struggled desperately. He now knew who his captors were. It is indeed Hazel Grove's famed young Prince, Prince Archilles. He had heard of Hazel Grove's Prince's name. Prince Archilles have risen to fame after his conquest to a few weak kingdoms, subsidiary to the Great Kingdom of Ethos.

But Ironfort is not just a normal subsidiary kingdom as well. It has connections to royal clans within the Great Kingdom. Striking Ironfort would mean that Hazel Grove is ready for a higher level warfare. And just this Elder Bai alone, a Foundation Establishment stage expert that could rival thousands of mortal being, for sure Hazel Grove has truly prepared for an all out war. The Great Kingdom of Ethos is not that remarkable to accommodate many Foundation Establishment stage experts to begin with. Qi Condensation stage experts are already too few in the first place. What more, stage two cultivators.

Prince Neebo now had a sense of understanding of what was going on, bounded by the internal conflict Ironfort was into. It had become very vulnerable to external threat and had been a very easy target for those aggressive kingdoms. It is a strategic time to conquer Ironfort during this time. And the defeat and destruction Ironfort is in, proved that to be right.

As Prince Archilles drew closer to Prince Neebo, he mockingly smiled at Prince Neebo, his arms crossed in front of his own.

"You truly deserve your title Prince Neebo, haha seeing that you have survived the chaos. You have lived up to your name as the Brilliant Prince of Ironfort hahahaha" his mocking laughter resounded all around.

Calming down, Prince Archilles commented "Unfortunate for you, your name would be known from this day on as a lowly slave of the mighty Prince Archilles!" his laughter resumed. An eerie and tragic scene unfolded. A man laughing in joy, behind him was the massive massacre they have orchestrated.

Prince Neebo continued to rage and struggle, "You.. may have won... against Ironfort.. but I... will not.. be a subject... to a coward like you!"

Listening to Prince Neebo, Prince Archilles laughed maniacally in satisfaction, "Bwahahahahahaha that's the spirit hahahaha..."

Seeing how Prince Archilles is enjoying his predicament, Prince Neebo's gaze fell on the detestable and shameful prick in front of him, 'Ironfort only knew of one prick, a great and crazy prick actually, how dare you stand before that prick and be a prick yourself!' Prince Neebo thought unwillingly.

As his gaze fell on to Prince Archilles mouth, who was infuriatingly spreading wide in laughter, and remembering how he was humiliated, Prince Neebo spit back straight and into Prince Archilles mouth. "That's what you get for standing close you perverted asshole! Hahahaha"

Caught off guard, Prince Neebo's spit almost choke Prince Archilles to his death. His Royal Guards was also caught off guard by the sudden attack. Frightened they helped him up and made sure he was fine. Elder Bai, an esteemed expert was also taken aback by Prince Neebo's spit, avoided eye contact.

After a few seconds, Prince Archilles finally settled down, but his relief was immediately replaced by extreme fury. "Graaaaaaaah!! Fuck You Neebo!!" enraged by what happened.

Prince Archilles slammed a fist into Prince Neebo's face, yet he was still not satisfied and let his punches go wild. Prince Neebo was powerless against these punches, despite his cultivation, his body has yet to become invulnerable against mortal punches.

Thus, after some time, Prince Neebo's face became swollen and his body is filled with bruises. It was not until a loyal servant of his came over and spoken to Prince Archilles that Prince Archilles finally stopped.

He took a deep mocking look towards Prince Neebo and gave out a creepy smile, "I have just the right finishing gift for you, Brilliant Prince of Ironfort hehe"

"Come, let's show this kid why he needs to fear Hazel Grove's might!" with a serious face, Prince Archilles then ordered his subordinates and marched on towards Ironfort palace.

Releasing his power holding Prince Neebo, Elder Bai crossed his arms and followed behind Prince Archilles.

After being released by the immense grappling power that was holding him, Prince Neebo fell weakly unto the ground. Unable to move by himself due to the beating that he received from Prince Archilles, he was bounded in chains by Havens Grove's men and he was dragged by them as they moved towards Ironfort's palace.

It took a while for Havens Grove's men to finally pull the unconscious Prince Neebo into Ironfort's palace grounds. Prince Archilles with his men was waiting patiently as they marvel at the spectacular Ironfort ruins in front of them.

Kneeling before Prince Archilles was four wounded people whom Prince Neebo knew: Queen Naja; First Prince Astraeus; 2nd Prince Notos; and 1st Princess Astrid.

The first and second Prince looked wounded and badly beaten, and was floating a meter in the air. Elder Bai was looking quite drained, it seems like he had expended quite a lot of energy already. The first Princess was chained in the ground fearful, bleeding from a fresh huge scar on her face. Queen Naja wept from what she was experiencing, she too was chained, beside her was a body lying dead on the ground. It was King Greyson, and it looked like the King died fighting.

Noticing the unconscious Prince Neebo's arrival at the palace grounds, Prince Archilles smirked and ordered his men to wake him up. As he gained his consciousness, His heart raced in panic to what was before him. His family was being tortured, and his father's dead body lying besides her weeping mother.

Seeing his family suffering, Prince Neebo exploded with all his power and broke off the chains that was dragging him. the entirety of his 1st stage Qi Condensation power circulated through his body and he lunged towards Prince Archilles, without holding any of his energy back.

Caught off guard by the sudden explosion of energy by Prince Neebo, Prince Archilles clutch his sword out in defense and took a defensive stance against the incoming Prince Neebo. His own personal royal guards stepped forward, covering Prince Archilles from the incoming attack.

As Prince of the kingdom, Prince Neebo has been trained in martial ways. And as he grew up as a teen, he trained in the ways of the sword and the glaive. It was his own interpretation of royal weapons of war.

Closing in to Prince Archilles personal guards, Prince Neebo swiftly evaded their assault and with his close combat knowledge, and with his 1st stage Qi Condensation power, Prince Neebo was far more stronger than these men. Knowing that there is a mighty figure among them, Prince Neebo didn't care about engaging these men and took this opportunity while Elder Bai is occupied at the moment. And as he stole a sword that was yet to be unsheathe, Prince Neebo took away the distance against him and Prince Archilles as fast as he can.

Three meters away from each other, Prince Neebo thrusted his sword towards Prince Archilles. Against the movement of a Qi Condensation cultivator, Prince Archilles is greatly lacking. But still, Prince Archilles is well trained and had plenty of experience in the way of the sword. He prepared to parry this sword attack by Prince Neebo.

But as the sword was about to touch each other, Prince Neebo's sword thrust blurred, and disappeared from sight. Frightened, Prince Archilles leap backwards to evade the slash that came after the faint. But even after evading the slash, Prince Neebo didn't stop his fury of attack. He hacked his sword towards the retreating Prince Archilles. It was a battle against footing, and the first one to make one mistake, would be the one to lay to rest.

Even when the momentum was on the side of Prince Neebo, he felt frustrated at how Prince Archilles could react against his movements. He was suppose to be the one that had the upper hand, yet Prince Archilles shown how he could manage to keep up against Prince Neebo. Clearly, Prince Archilles sword mastery is way deeper than his.

Desperate to end this as fast as he can, Prince Neebo grabbed the dirt beneath him and threw it towards Prince Archilles. Prince Archilles never suspected Prince Neebo would make such underhanded attack, he took cover and blocked off his face from the dirt. It was at that point that Prince Neebo closed in and swiftly, slashed his sword with everything he have got.
