Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: What it means to be a King

Upon waking up, Loraine did not hesitate to tell everything what she knows regarding the Land of Damnation and the other nations. Including individuals who have enough talent to get her attention.

With the confirmation that the first king of the Land of Damnation in Aelius and the second king Murphy in another country, and that only the third king is left the Land of Damnation that used to be the kingdom of Asterius is now defenseless, no one is strong enough to overturn the tides of the upcoming war.

"Elmenz"

The king of slimes raised his head.

"Yes, your grace?"

"Go use the southern route that leads to the Land of Damnation. Bring all the royal guards with you. For I order you to win against the third king of that wretched land who dared to cause mayhem in our land"

"I shall do as you wish, your grace"

"Darius"

The dragon raised his head.

"Yes, your grace?"

"You will be under Elmenz's command and stay as a support. You are not allowed to fight for you are only to heal and protect them"

"I will do as you command!"

A day later, the king of Lagnos departed with the 700 royal soldiers and Darius, the new saint of Lagnos, to wage war on the Land of Damnation and win in less than a month.

"Why did you told the dragon to stay as a support, your grace?"

Payne asked as he poured tea for Mel.

"Loraine, you answer this fool's question"

"U-understood, your holiness"

Loraine then explained what kind of skill she saw from Elmenz.

"So you are saying that he will win a war against tens of thousands with only 700 soldiers because of his skill, ?"

"Yes. As you know, master Payne, skills, magic, swordsmanship, and the natural abilities of a species differ. The one with the highest variable are skills as they, sometimes, give us an ability that could bend and twist the world law itself without the use of energy like how spells are casted by using mana"

"So, just how good of a skill is his ?"

"It gives additional 70% mental attack resistance, 20% physical and mana enhancement, and plus 50% magic resistance to all soldiers under his command"

Crack!

The tea cup that Payne was holding fell from his hands and shattered onto the ground. Loraine's words left Payne's mouth wide open.

"That's cheating!"

He stood up as he yelled.

"Something like that is unfair! If he was given a hundred thousand soldier, he could even bring down Aelius depending on how good of a leader he is!"

He yelled once more.

"That's right. That is exactly why I love him. Isn't he so manly~?"

Mel's words stop the enrage vampire from cursing Elmenz.

"But still, your holiness, he is-"

"It will not happen"

Mel looked straight to Loraine's eyes.

"I am fully aware of the third king's skill, . A skill that allows him to see all movements in the battlefield in real time. That is why ambush and traps would be rendered useless"

"Then, how will he win with less than a thousand soldiers, your grace?"

"Simple, that brat's skill allows him to see anything within 500 kilometer radius. But do you know about the fact that... Each individual gets registered in his skill"

Loraine's body jump backwards upon figuring out what Mel said.

"So it is like that! True... if that is the case, Sir Elmenz's victory will be certain"

"Hey!" Payne waved his hands with a bitter expression, "How come I'm not the only one who don't get what's happening here!"

"For someone as strong as you to be this stupid... sigh... it baffles me that you were in charge of the envoy that Everblack sent"

Loraine raised her hand to get Payne's attention.

"Master, since her holiness said that Emmeth's skill allows it to automatically register those who enter its range, means that he will know that the dragon, Sir Darius, who burned multiple important facilities will also get notice"

"Oh! Now I get it!" Payne's face was quickly filled with joy, "That means that even though they have so little number, the third king Emmeth can't act recklessly since Darius' presence alone will be detrimental to them."

"Yes. And with his Sir Elmenz will quickly be able to react and put a strategy into action before Sir Emmeth's force get near them"

A hit and run tactic that is similar with what Darius did.

After telling Elmenz what happened and the information that Amon and Loraine have, he decided to go with a hit and run tactic.

While destroying cities and villages, he will be able to slowly take territory and build his own castle in case of a siege.

And due to Darius' presence and being ten times more powerful than Emmeth, they won't be able to do much but watch as their land slowly gets taken away from them.

As long as they get back here in less than a month before the penalty of switching deities fall on to Darius, they should be able to win and take at least half of the Land of Damnation.

Not only that, since Darius is supporting them, this will spread his name and influence and gain the people's support as the new saint of Lagnos.

Elmenz's tactical and advertisement skills never cease to amaze me.

-He is indeed a frightening man, master.

'Of course he is. There is no way my first love wouldn't be competent'

-He is your first love?

'Yes, do you got a problem with that?'

-Not at all. I am just surprise that for someone as skillful as you in bed to only fall for someone just recently, I am simply in awe for your talent in intercourse.

The fuck? I can't tell whether this guy is being genuine or being sarcastic.

Well, a genius like him will shine brightly no matter where he is anyway.

TING!

[Your grace, we will now be fighting with the criminals]
