Somewhere outside of the kingdom in a forest.
"Does the dog of the devil did what he was told?" A bald old man wearing a black robe was standing on a branch of a tree, Staring at the walls of the kingdom with a wicked smile like he sees everything inside the wall and asked out of the blue.
"Yes, Elder Ma. I followed him inside the castle without him detecting my innate skill 'Invisible. All he did was go to the brothel half his day and stalks the princess of Acheron in these two days. But he did his job and while he's at it, He poisoned the three elder mages of Acheron. He's a sly one Elder Ma, Should we dispose of him?" A half-human chameleon with pointy ears, Abruptly emerges from the bushes, Explaining to the bald old man respectfully.
"As far he's useful, Why not let him do the dirty job until he dies! Then that's killing two birds with one stone without us interfering" The old man looked at the half-chameleon with a smile while saying those words.
The half-chameleon started feeling chill all over his body just after he saw the harmless smile of the old man but behind it, evil lingers.

(Kingdom Of Acheron)
Inside the castle.
"GUARDS FIND THAT MESSENGER!!! AND CALL THE ELDERMAGE'S OF THE PALACE AND THE ACADEMY OF MAGIC RIGHT NOW!!.. Dear, Ill go arrange our elite soldiers and accompany them in the battle to boost their morale, So stay here and don't go out of the palace!... GUARDS PREPARE MY HORSE!!" The king head outside leaving a concerned princess behind.
"No, I know i can't do anything in my strength for now, But! I can't just stay still during a crisis of the kingdom, I need to do something!" Princess Leila also walked out with a stern look on her face.
#####
(Ruins Of The Elves)
The destroyed giant statues of the elves were scattered all over the plain enveloped upon moss with several trees surrounding it. On the sky ten or so persons with black robes floating down to the ruins.
"Are you sure that the Acheron's army will be here?" Asked one of the black robe's men.
"What? You don't trust the words of a demon?" Sarcastically said by the other black robe man.
"Don't worry, Even though the kingdom of Acheron's lasted for hundreds of years, They are still a 3rd rate kingdom with few elder mages. Oh, speaking of the devil here's another devil!" The other black robe man said upon noticing that a bald old man among their group shows up.
"Okay, Enough chit chat we have killing's to do! Elite Soldiers!! Attack the Kingdom of Acheron!" Elder Ma grinned and commenced the thousand's of an army that pops out of nowhere in the sky mounting the griffins.
#####
(Kingdom Of Acheron)
On the top of the front gate wall, King Acheron was wearing gold armor with a golden spear on his back trembled lightly upon noticing from afar that a silhouette of flying griffins was drawing near the kingdom.
"Damm*t! I should have expected that a conspiracy was going on in the neighboring kingdoms!...(Deep breath) But as a King, we should never run away from our responsibilities! Then if its blood for blood you desire, We'll grant it!" King Acheron endured his anger from swallowing him up and showed a sinister smile that a benevolent King wouldn't have.
"Your Majesty!! The entire civilians have been evacuated! The Shield Array Of The Trigram is ready and the elite force's our Kingdom is set and waiting at your disposal!" A soldier who was equipped with silver armor came by the side of the king and bow while reporting his duties.
"Niel, Your father was the brightest and most dashing general on the battlefield that i ever saw and did you know, What he was always telling me before we go to battle?...(laughs) He said ' King when i died, I want to be in the most heroic way! And when that happens only if it happens, Take care of the little rascal for me!' And did you know what? He died in the most heroic way that a soldier could have" Telling Neil who was yet to stand from kneeling, King Acheron reminisces the old days during his youth when he was still reckless.
"Your Majesty! I state on my life that i will protect you, Your Majesty!" Emotions were building upon Neil as he kneeled and declare.
"No, Just promise me one thing, Protect my daughter and son!" King Acheron holds his shoulders with a stern look in his eyes while saying those words.
"Neil, I urge you. You're dismissed from your duties as of now...Now go!! There is no time!!" Warmingly said by King Acheron. Although Neil was about to say something but King Acheron interrupt him.
Clenching his fist, Neil accepts his new duties, Bowing the last time to the man that his father served and now his King then dashing off to find the princess and the prince.
"Aaaah What a play! That's something i like from a person who was about to fall!" Then suddenly a floating old man appeared in front of the gate while smiling at King Acheron.
"Hoho! If it isn't the coward king of the trash empire! How good to see you, Loitering around!" King Acheron returned the courtesy to the bald old man.
"Hahaha! Curses won't save you, King Acheron! So how about you obediently surrender, So we won't shed blood today!" Laughing sinisterly, The old man gave off an option with a sarcastic tone.
"Funny saying! Originating from a coward! Why don't we end this once and for all!" King Acheron dash toward elder ma and was about to cut when promptly a knee hit the left of the upper body damaging his rib, Sending him crashing inside the Kingdom.
"All these years you're still at the bottleneck of the ruby realm! Hahaha! You made me scheme, wait, collide, and you even dared to challenge me!" Flying inside the castle, Elder ma mockingly said. And immediately when he's inside a strange golden array starts covering the kingdom.
"D*nm it! I was too greedy! And even forgot this so-called array...However, do you think you can stop me?! Although half of my qi energy is rapidly draining, It's more than enough to destroy you!!" Said Elder Ma who took out a red cane that was dripping with the blood of who knows who, Not considering the array enveloping the kingdom.
"Let's see about that!" The King got up from the crash covered only with bruises and a big hole on the left side of the armor while still smiling.
"That smiling face! Is what i loathe the most!! Let's fix it for you!!!" Elder Ma raised the blood cane.
Meanwhile, in the sky, There's a black figure that was rapidly descending. And on the closer look, a giant crow was twirling whilst back the crow, there's a man with a face of 😱.
