章 49: Assault on Iron Fortress

Galva City, Brightmoon Kingdom

As one of the cities in the frontline of war between the Brightmoon and the Blacksummit Kingdom, Galva City was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the kingdom. But right now, thick black smoke was rising above the city.

Houses were burning and buildings were destroyed. In the streets, soldiers carrying weapons were killing everyone they see. Old and young, no one was spared in their hands. The blade of their swords was covered with the thick red blood of the people they've slaughtered.

"A...animals! You people of the Blacksummit Kingdom are really animals. You killed everyone in the city, the king will definitely take revenge for us" a soldier of the Brightmoon Kingdom was lying on the ground bathing on his own blood. His slowly dimming eyes stared at a man wearing a black armor leading the soldiers.

"The Vasselon Family has already fallen alongside the Galva City. Even if your king sends a reinforcement, it is already too late" the man wearing black armor said. He was one of the Rank S experts of the Blacksummit Kingdom, 'The Thousand Killer' Telfort.

"General Telfort, the other members of the Vasselon Family manages to escape from the attack. Do we send someone to chase them" a soldier reported with his body slightly shivering. He knew the personality of the general if he became irritated, he will kill even his own men.

Telfort looks at the soldier with his dark eyes that seem to be the abyss. The soldier felt that his whole body turned cold and cold sweat pours out from every pore of his body.

"It's already several days since they've escaped. Chasing after them would be impossible as we didn't know where they went. However, as they are members of the Vasselon Family of the Brightmoon Kingdom, killing them is necessary. Send a group of knights to search them, and if they managed to find them. Kill them all!" murderous voice of General Telfort sounded.

His hatred of the Vasselon Family is very huge. Because of the many losses he took against the leader of the family, Telfort wanted to exterminate them. "Bring me the body of the patriarch of the Vasselon Family. I will cut his head off and hang it on the city gate. Let the people of the Brightmoon Kingdom know what would happen to anyone who blocks my Blacksummit Kingdom"

Hours later, the head of the Vasselon Family patriarch was hanged on the city wall of Galva City.

Capital City, Brightmoon Kingdom

Bam!

A man slammed his palm on a table and furiously said, "The bastards of the Blacksummit Kingdom is really too much. They even shame my friend and hang his head in the city wall! I will f*cking kill them!"

The people with him were silent, but each of them was wearing a very dark expression. The news of the destruction of the Galva City arrived at them too late. They didn't expect that one of their major cities would be destroyed by their enemies.

"General Halvar I can understand you are angry about what happened to the Vasselon Family. But please act properly in front of his majesty" an old man with a head full of white hairs said solemnly. "Your majesty, according to the report the Galvan City was infiltrated by numerous assassins at night and attacked the Vasselon Family. The head of the Vasselon Family sacrificed his life just to let his wife and daughter escape. After that, he was besieged by countless assassins and even though he managed to kill some of them. He was also killed by them"

"After that the main troops of the Blacksummit Kingdom with Telfort 'The Thousand Killer' leading them laid siege on the city. Without any experts to lead and defend, the Galvan City was immediately defeated by the overwhelming strength of the enemies" the old man said. He was the patriarch of the Whitepelt Family and the father of Roulant and grandfather of Lilia Whitepelt.

At the end of the table, a handsome man was sitting releasing a majestic air around him. The imposing air around him is not something you can find in Lori who just becomes a king. This imposing air is gathered in countless years of being a king leading over millions of people.

The golden crown at the top of his head symbolizes his maximum authority in the kingdom. His every word is the law. "What happened in Galva City surely will be repaid with blood. Is there anyone here who wanted to take the task of avenging our people?"

The king said and his eyes sweep at everyone carrying heavy pressure.

"I do!" the one who answered was General Halvar. "Your majesty let me take the task of killing those animals and avenge the death of my brother and our people!"

General Halvar was one of the Rank S experts of the Brightmoon Kingdom like the Whitepelt Patriarch. He was a strong warrior that was respected by the people of the kingdom. His bravery and courage is something that everyone recognized.

"Then I will entrust this task to you. Bring the Crimson Sun Legion with you and defeat the enemy" the king said without any emotion.

When they heard that the king let General Halvar take the Crimson Sun Legion with him. Everyone was stunned by his decision. Crimson Sun Legion is one of the top legions of the Brightmoon Kingdom. Every member of this legion was strong and battle-hardened soldiers. Whenever they enter the battlefield, the land will be filled by the crimson blood of the enemies.

A determined expression appeared in General Halvar's fave and saluted, "I will bring the head of that animal Telfort as a gift for his majesty!"

"Good, good, then I will wait for your good news" the king replied.

Iron Fortress, Silverwing Kingdom

On the northern side of the kingdom, the Iron Fortress was in a dire situation. The Redstone Kingdom who was remaining silent in the past months suddenly launched an all-out offensive attack to the Iron Fortress.

The soldiers of the fortress were fighting bravely against the enemy. But they were caught unprepared by the sudden attack and gain many casualties.

"Quickly! Send someone to the capital and ask the king for reinforcements. We will try to hold on for a couple more days against the enemies!" the commander of the fortress shouted as he quickly sends a message to the capital.

He narrowed his eyes and stares at the army away from the city. 'The attack this time is too sudden, unlike any other attack from before. There is also something weird about the enemy like they were crazy'

"Watch their movements carefully! If there is a sudden movement from them, quickly report it to me!" the commander shouted.

On the other side of the city at the campsite of the Redstone Army, a group of people was quickly moving. They were wearing a red cloak and a thick smell of blood was coming out of their bodies. Then they entered a red tent.

"Jie, Jie Jie, how's the situation outside?" an eerie voice came from the figure sitting behind the desk.

"Just like what the elder expected. The loss of the Iron Fortress this time is quite big. Aside from that, our people inside the fortress are making preparations for the next attack"

"Is that so? Then it is good" the figure said.

"There is another report elder. The commander of the fortress sends someone to the capital to ask for reinforcements. What should we do? If the reinforcements from the capital arrived, we will have a difficult time is attacking the fortress"

"Let them come, the Silverwing Kingdom is now weakened with the loss of Han Goldling. Even reinforcements arrive, we can still defeat them. Especially that 'they' are here" the figure behind the desk said with a cold tone.

When the group heard that 'they' were here. An unknown light appeared from their eyes and each of them let out weird laughter.
