"We will accept the request of the Forgan Empire and become allies but on certain condition."
Emperor Anshelm looked at the prince to see if he had any reaction,
'he's not even moving, he's very composed even when I'm giving conditions'
He sighed, "We are just taking precautions so please understand.... We would like to have three double digits dark knight and one single digits silver knight."
"hmmm..." The Crown prince took a short breathe and answered, "it's considerable, I'll send them immediately I reach the empire, however I can't guarantee a silver knight because we are in war as you know so please understand if I send two single digits dark knights instead."
The Emperor looked at the officials and nodded, "I understand your highness."
"Then forgive me your majesty for I must hurry back home, we shall celebrate our alliance when we prevail." The crown prince bowed slightly,
"Oh my... It's sad we won't be having you around, that reminds me your highness, I heard you were unusually late yesterday"
"your majesty has been monitoring me I see, I believe it's for my safety but I was late yesterday because I met a weird phenomenon."
"which is....?"
"A skunk..." The crown prince smiled,
"A naughty skunk I couldn't tame and had to make a deal with in order to have it."
The Emperor sounded relieved as he laughed out, " *hahhahahahahahah*.... Skunks are quite the naughty animal, I'd never imagine you were a lover of animals."
"no not really your majesty, just skunks." The crown prince solemnly looked at the Emperor,
"skunks I see..."
"I'll take your message to the empire in a lettered form, await the empire's order, we are truly grateful." The prince bowed slightly again,
''....await the empire's orders..'' 'He said friends but we are probably going to be treated as lackeys'
The Emperor waved his hand forward, a royal servant walked forward with a large scroll in his hand and bowed to his knees in front of the crown prince, the crown prince collected the scroll and slowly bowed as he walked out of the hall.
'it's very easy to see through them' The crown prince sighed as he walked out.
°°°°¬¬
Gillievia was holding the Azure Empire well, the battle has been five days and they have still not submitted even when they knew who they were up against, but they also had confidence alongside with the knowledge that the Forgan empire can move anytime, they had three silver knight which was like a miracle to them.
Blue knights, Red knights, Dark knights, Silver knights and Imperial knights were the Forgan Empire stronghold, they were not usually seen in action but they massacred everywhere they touched. A single digit silver knight was enough to cut Etrovia kingdom's military strength in half. A single digit imperial knight could bring it to its knee, but even imperial knights are not seen, they were rumored not to exist because they don't leave the palace, but those that are close to the imperial family have seen them walking around once or twice. Blue and Red knights weren't bad either, they were specially made to deal with mages, dark knights are dangerous one could call them assassins, they left blood any where they went, they are mainly people who have accepted darkness and ruined they're soul, the dark aura they emit is enough to kill a rabbit.
A familiar silver knight walked into the Gillievia military camp were they had settled in order to stop the Azure Empire from advancing towards they're Kingdom, and they've been holding them well for five days. He went in the biggest tent.
"Sir Oramos Oliver, Silver knight rank 31 is at your service sire"
"oh sir Oliver it's nice to have you but I thought you were at Pallind, I wandered why it was taken when even you was there.."
"the Empire demanded that I come here"
"in order means they gave pallind away"
The silver knight, sir Oliver nodded.
"do they plan to take it back"
"yes"
"alright let's focus at the matter at hand." The General Commander stood up, he's body was big but when compared to sir Oliver it would seem small.
They moved out of the tent together and talked as they walked towards another tent, they were repeatedly greeted by working soldiers.
"so far so good we have really tried and our hands are tied. We have also been in alliance with the Empire long enough to know how they work, and I also know that they are not saying anything because they probably have some plan either ways I'm not worried, because I'm sure the Azure cannot be stupid enough to pour all their strength into this particular place... "
"you're right sire, I guess you have decided to use the silver knights."
"yes sir Oliver, this battle is coming to an end and we are going to win it."
They entered the tent.
Everyone stood up and greeted them,
Sir Oliver nodded at the other two silver knights.
The general commander headed to his place at the head sit and looked left and right then nodded his head, the seven commanders of different garrisons sat. On the large table was placed a wooden made battle simulations.
"I have decided to start to use our trump card, the mercenary guilds we were able to acquire will be arriving soon, alongside them we would send a thousand soldiers led by two silver knights we have reduce the Azure camp to nothing."
"But Sire, if we send a thousand our hands will be full, if they attack us while we are focused on their military camp,.... The kingdom"
"we are not weak sir Bertram, I understand your concern but we still have the royal army and the mages"
"sighs" Sir Bertram sighed,
He was the rebellious type and wouldn't agree to many of the General commander's opinions, he was from a very influential family of dukes and he himself held a large amount of military strength enough to be the General commander but when comparing skills, comparing him to Sir Torbissen the General commander was an insult.
"if we have no other complaints, then we'll discuss the..."
A soldier badged in.
"how dare...."
"The kingdom is under attack!!!!"
Everyone in the room exclaimed,
"how did they get past us"
Right from the on set it was obvious the focus of the Azure Empire was the King, it was the only fastest way to bring the strong Gillievia to its kneel, however that's why they blocked the fastest route and sealed other paths, they Azure bothering to go through other paths would take days and therefore be vulnerable to the Forgan empire.
"it was a teleportation magic sire..... by the looks of it they have over three thousand soldiers."
"damn... they had someone marked our kingdom from within.... But to think they'd have a mage powerful enough to transport three thousand.... Sir Oliver..."
The General looked at sir Oliver who immediately nodded,
Sir Oliver and the other two knights headed outside.
After they reached the front of the gate, the slim tall dark haired silver knight Sir Throph talked,
"I always love this moment"
"don't you know our Sir Oliver has years of experience he's literally the oldest silver knight even though he's rank 31"
The blonde haired silver knight Sir Odomus smiled as he praised sir Oliver, knight Throph replied him.
"40 years is not a joke, even Sir Nilus respects him."
"don't say that name here Throph, it gives me goosebump. That guy is a monster in sheep's clothing."
"both of you focus, we are not here to joke, Throph you are rank 19, this whole battle rest on your shoulders."
"yes sir"
"you too Odomus, don't slack"
"yes sir"
They were outside the Camp, soldiers gathered at the gate to watch them, of all the Forgan empire's knight no doubt the silver knight was popular for their beauty, the dark knights were scary and the blue and red knights were mages nemesis.
~smaaaasshhhh~
Knight Oliver smashed his leg on the ground, the ground beneath his leg disintegrated and the debris scattered, he lowered his hips, the ground furtherly continued to scatter as he applied force on his lower body, the moment released the force he had been gathering, he flew away like spring, both knight cover their noses as the dust of the debris scattered across.
"that man... when will he retire"
Knight Throph repeated the same thing and flew away.
"Don't fall behind yellowhead"
He shouted as he flew away,
Knight Odomus murmured,
"hmph show off, he could have just decided to use flash step skill... now I have to do the same"
The soldiers were in awe as the last of the silver knight took off, they continued to stare at the crumbled floor and small debris scattered around with their mouth opened.
