Kain was agitated, he wasn't particularly familiar with Eden, he wasn't familiar with anyone except a few youngies that would hang around him and beg him to train them, but he knew how much Eden cared for the well being of everyone in the guild, to see him lying unconscious with his clothes drenched in blood, he was agitated.
He turned to Keijisama, "did you kill him?"
Keiji-sama smiled, "apparently he was strong but Eden san didn't go easy either, he was left with no arm"
"I'll kill him if we meet"
"i doubt that" Keijisama placed his hands on Kain's shoulder, "you won't be able to"
Kain looked at him, "you doubt that?"
"shut up you are not invincible, even though you have a legend-rating class you're still pretty weak... So work on getting stronger"
Kain clenched his fist 'he's right'
Keiji-sama turned to the healer, "well then miss, we'll leave Eden-san in your hands" he slapped Kain's back "come on let's go"
They walked out of the medical tent together.
Every soldier and mercenaries grabbed their weapon and began to march to the frontline it was finally time for it to start. This battle would decide whatever will happen, it also boosted the soldier's morale to know that they would be expecting reinforcements so even if they lost, the reinforcements that will arrive will still push further so either ways it was the Azure empire's win, the only thing was that the Duke kept saying time wasn't on their side so it baffled many soldiers what the Duke was racing against.
*stomp*
*stomp*
*stomp*
...
The stomping continued as the soldiers continued to march, they were half the number of Forgan empire but considering the power of the mercenary, winning should be possible, just as the commander had explained to the duke the problem was the silver soldiers their armor shined brighter than the rest so it wasn't difficult to find them but the problem was dealing with them they were very well coordinated and knew how to make clear judgements but the duke wanted the guild masters to take care of the enemy's generals first so as to bring down the soldier's morale and the strong guild members should take care of silver soldiers. He was persistent on time and warned them all not to be reckless, they shouldn't try facing a general one on one but go in twos. Throughout the entire meeting the duke kept looking at Keiji-sama, it seems he wasn't hard for him to recognize the strongest it wasn't an understatement to say the duke himself was no match for him, apart from manipulating his class and profession well, he had experience from the former world so in many areas he was flawless. Much more they had the mage who's identity was revealed in the meeting as one of the four archduke of azure empire.
In azure empire archdukes were different from dukes, archdukes were descendant of the four legends that fought to create the empire their legacies was passed down which made their descent exceptionally strong many times they choose not to be involved too much in the affairs of the empire but if the history and dignity of the empire was at stake they would come out but the mage was different he was interested in the world and sought unlimited knowledge, he had his reasons for joining the war and wanting to go to the Forgan empire most importantly the palace, but no one knew this. Everyone gestures to him changed immediately he's identified was revealed.
The two empires clashed and began an all out war that would determine the fate of one of the Forgan empire big cities. As the duke had instructed, the guild masters focused on the generals but it wasn't an easy go either, two could barely take down a general. The Forgan empire had four generals on the battlefield and one commander, each of the generals were stronger than the guild masters and also very skilled in their specializations. General lambert Roxley was known as the wielder of Kjorr twin blades, it was a well distinguished blade that had control over the ice element, it was a beautiful sight any time he clashed his swords as ice would sprout out from nowhere to destruct the person's sight which gave anyone that faced him a handful at least until he's sword clashed with that of Keiji-sama.
Keiji-sama showed his might at the battlefield even though he was fighting with basic skills he had very powerful strikes and other guild master feared his strength.
The war was slowly coming to an end as the reinforcements of the Azure empire arrived seeing that the empire did not respond to their call, the commander concluded that they also have been abandoned, they dropped their weapons and were taken war prisoners, out of four generals one was killed, one was near death and two were taken prisoners, the commander gritted his teeth but he had no power over the situation anymore, he couldn't afford to waste the lives of the remaining soldiers.
Jorek had smoothly taken care of the mages, he and Kain alone took on almost a hundred thousand mages, Kain's class wasn't a mage type but he found it easy to deal with mages due to the kind of class he had.
With that the war came to a quick end with the Forgan empire loosing, and the rest were taken as prisoners of war. Kaha province was seized and the Azure empire flag rose there, they made a base there and rested before they would march onward towards Dexinci city, seizing Dexinci city would be a sure assurance that they had cut one of Forgan's strong military power but little information was known about the city, scouts sent there never came back and none of the war prisoners would open their mouth due to this the Azure empire ended up staying longer than they planned.
It's been a week and they still had nothing on Dexinci city, Forgan empire had seven great cities and many other villages but the main focus of the Azure empire was seizing four out of the seven cities, cornering the kingdoms in the Forgan alliance and heading towards the emperor with the final army of course they knew it wouldn't be easy but this was the basic layout of their plan.
But the Forgan empire was too silent, followed by seizing Kaha province, Rehfriet city was also taken by the fire duke of the Azure empire but the Forgan empire was still silent. Duke Bryand was forced to make a decision as he couldn't risk waiting any longer, it was a reckless act that he regretted later, marching into the enemy territory without having any information about them, he solely relied on the strength of the army he had meanwhile a nemesis waited for him at Dexinci city. It was the first appearance of an important person
Deep in the Knight's castle of Dexinci city, Nilus sat alone while touching head of his new friend who made a growling sound from the darkness behind him seeming to be enjoying Nilus gentle touch. He smiled and closed his eyes "its been ages since I came out, the world has changed... Don't you think so"
