Everyone who heard the news stunned and shocked for a few good seconds, it was widely known that Tri-Nations Valley was infested with strong bandits group, Even when the famous Principality of Light inquisitor Army were unable to fully vanquish the region. Now there's a news saying the region finally secured, of course Hallerus and Alemia Royalty and Nobles feels alerted. They never once heard anything about Independent State of Aeternum, and the Duke Of Northern Hallerus cooperate with them which means the newly revealed states were some what close to the 3 nations. The most concern about this fact were Hallerus Royals, because The King of Hallerus, Roberth Hallerus the 3rd knew that Duke Merrica has been trying for years to secure his border, and he as king never once give him any support to do so. Because among the 2 Duke of Hallerus, he sees Duke Merrica as a threat to his throne, now that the Duke has cleared the Valley with an outside help.
King Roberth Hallerus the 3rd is famous to the whole continent as The Snakes, He claimed his throne by killing his own father in his bed, he even killed his mother and his father 20 concubines and their child, to make his claim unchallenged. His thirst for power however never accompanied with strength, he uses and manipulate anyone to realize his aim, he married his 4 daughter to the dukes and other nations nobles, killed a whole tribe of Beastmen to appease the Church of Light just to save the financial crisis that he created. Despite he tried to covered everything, everyone knew he was corrupted, self centered and Cruel king, the 2 duke was the only people that he can't controlled. Duke Nevda Kast on the South East territory was the Adviser of the late king, knew about the whole royals drama but decided to only focus in his territory, Duke Merrica Murr on the Northern territory, the nations beloved noble. Now that one of the Duke has finally freed from his worries, Roberth was restless because, the person behind Duke Merrica wife 'sickness' was actually him.
<CRASH!!>
A golden goblet flew across the room, and hit one of the naked maid at the end of the table.
"Advisor Leonardo…confirm the news…send people to the north at once!..". (Roberth Hallerus the 3rd)
Sitting in the Royal dining Hall, Roberth Hallerus the 3rd were furious as always he turned to his trusted Advisor Leonardo, who sitting beside him.
"As you will my king..". (Advisor Leonardo)
Royal Advisor Leonardo, or his full name Father Leonardo Delarno were actually a representative that were send by Church of Light to 'Help' the Royal family.
Whether King Roberth want or not, he had to confirm that his plan not yet spoiled, because if it did, then King Roberth not only have to face Duke Merrica Wrath but also The Church wrath, Because he promised the Church that the Northern land will become theirs when the Duke dies from being killed by his wife, in the bandit's uprising. Now that the bandit was gone, his only hope was his hypnotize sister.
At the high noon, clouds of dust trails on the road heading to Merrina Town, 10 Black Truck and 2 Black Humvee roaring fast towards the city gate. The towns guard who saw the scene opened the gates quickly, as they already being told by the Duke Knights to do so.
