The news of the king's death spread quickly, but it still took over half a day to reach the ears of the Imperial Prince.
Those involved in the incident celebrated and pushed more fiercely from all sides, expanding their territories before others could.
On the other side, the allies of the Blue Lion Kingdom quickly retrieved their forces from all the battlefields, not wanting to suffer any more losses.
The Imperial Prince had yet to reach the capital of the Steel Mountain Kingdom and thus chose to retreat to the Blue Lion Kingdom. Much to his dismay, the path to his retreat was cut short by multiple powerhouses trying to corner him.
This resulted in the Prince abandoning any ideas to secure his own kingdom. In the end, he barely managed to escape to gods-know-where with a few of his most loyal subordinates.
