章節 74: Defence of Tulip Town(Last part)

"Titio, where is my daughter?!" shouted Felio with fire in his eyes.

"Huh? Daughter? How the hell should I know where your daughter is?" asked Titio.

"You are faking ignorance, huh?! Do you believe I won't kill you?!" Felio couldn't wait to charge towards Titio.

"Hey, if your slutty daughter went on her own to do something, I don't have anything to do with that," TItio replied with a smirk on his face.

Alfonso saw the reaction of Titio and he knew that he wasn't lying. Titio didn't know where Susana was!

"I knew it. Someone provoked this war…. Who is it? Who is pulling the strings in the shadows?" thought Alfonso.

"Huh? She isn't here? Well, that's surely is disappointing," thought Lucio who was looking on from a certain distance. He suddenly lost any interested in this war. "I will only interfere if the things go south…. Shit, this is so boring," thought Lucio while lying on the grass and closing his eyes.

Alfonso was looking at all sides as he grabbed the small flower.

"Is everyone in place?" asked Alfonso.

On a distant hill, a little girl with closed eyes was looking at the battlefield. She had a green dress and white skin; her eyes closed while her hands touched the ground.

"In position Little Al~."

Behind the soldiers, ten little girls grabbed their bows.

"Waiting for orders, My Lord!"

"Artemis, remember. At my signal… you attack," said Alfonso while looking behind him at the tallest part of the wall where nobody was.

"As your order, my Lord." A voice came from the flower.

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~.

A message from the system surprised Alfonso.

[Emergency Mission: Defense of Tulip Town!

Description: The troops of Arcadia have come to take over Tulip town! As an important ally, you must prevent this! Repel the army of Arcadia and kill their leader, Titio Gremo. In addition, you must ensure that the actual king of Tulip Town, Felio Grego, doesn't die!

Remark One: Failing this mission will shut down the system for a year in addition to the reduction of one level in all the gods you have.

Remark Two: Find the whereabouts of Princess Susana. You will get a handsome reward.]

"…Now I can't run away even if I want to. You are really ruthless system," though Alfonso while making a bitter smile.

"Titio, if you give me back my daughter then I will put down our swords and talk about this like reasonable people. If you put down your swords…I promise that I will let you have 20% of the resources of Tulip Town plus 10,000 gold coins and…I promise to serve you for the rest of my live," said Felio while regaining his calm.

"MY LORD WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?" shouted Leonardo

"MY LORD?!"

"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!"

All the soldiers were stunned by the words of Felio!

Only Alfonso looked at him with an understanding expression.

"SHUT UP!" shouted Felio.

When everyone was in silence, Felio didn't say anything and waited for Titio's answer.

He knew that the chances of winning weren't in his favor.

In fact, being optimistic, Felio estimated that they had 30% of wining, however, a lot of bloodshed will be necessary. Felio didn't want to sacrifice his men. He knew them. A lot of them were young, had families; had someone who was waiting for them to make it home safe, so Felio was prepared to gift himself to the enemy in order to ensure the future of his men and his daughter. That's why, he made this abnormal proposal. If Titio accepted it so be it.

"I have had a long life anyway," thought Felio.

Titio looked at Felio for some time. "Pff, HAHAHAHAHAHAAHha. You sure a funny one, Felio. You must really think that I am an idiot- why shall compromise with you? I not only have a numeric advantage but I have him on my side!" said Titio while looking at his side.

Beside him, a tall, muscular, and tanned man was sitting on a black horse. He didn't have any kind of weapon on his body, however, anyone who knew him will surely know that this man didn't need a weapon In the first place.

"Alberto Kiltops," murmured Felio while looking at the man.

Alberto only smiled at Titio's fierce glance.

"Felio Grego, I've heard a lot about you. When you were in the battalion of His Majesty William, you were known by everyone. People said that you could even defeat first tear champions despite being just a soldier. Such a fierce strength indeed. Today, I wuld like to see if the rumors of you are true," said Alberto with an evil smile.

"Dad… maybe… shall we consider the proposal of Felio?" A voice came from the left side of Titio and when he looked at the direction of the voice, he saw that the one who spoke was his eldest son, Excelio.

"Why do you say so?" asked Titio.

Although, he didn't agree with the conditions of Felio, he has always admired his son. He was an excellent tactician and he never speaks without a valid and concrete reason- so different from his younger brother.

"Father, this time… I feel like something is odd," said Excelio.

"Odd?"

"Yeah, since we came here I have observed them. After seeing our army, they didn't show the slightest sign of fear. This means they have countermeasure or were too stupid to notice such an obvious fact… and I am a hundred percent sure that Felio isn't an idiot nor will have a group of idiots as his soldiers," said Excelio.

Titio was a little stunned when he heard this from his son. After thinking for some time, he realized this fact and hesitated for a bit. However, he had a trap card called Lucio on his side. Even if the situation was the other way around when he was at the numeric disadvantage, he wouldn't fear because of Lucio.

"We won't compromise. We will kill Felio and conquer Tulip Town," decided Titio with a serious voice.

Excelio didn't say anything else.

"Maybe I am being oversensitive?" thought Excelio.

"I HAVE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS, FELIO. NOT EVEN GOD HIMSELF CAN STOP ME NOW!" shouted Titio.

Felio only looked at Titio and made a small sigh. It wasn't possible to stop today's battle. "Then… so be it!"

He grabbed his sword and pointed it towards Titio.

"LET THIS WAR BEGIN!" shouted Felio.

"ATTACK!" shouted Titio.

The war for the fate of Tulip Town… has begun!
