"Gnome Kingdom?" Haru pondered for a long time. He was no stranger to this kingdom. His first contact with them was when the Gnome Tribe in the underground world was conquered by his Angels. Under the influence of the Angel Of Love, Seraphina, the Gnome Tribe had joined Angel Castle and became his follower. At that time, the Gnome Kingdom appeared in the announcement. Haru and his Angel Castle were blacklisted as soon as they appeared. Their hatred was extremely high.
As Angel Castle continued to develop, its influence and reputation increased, the Gnome Kingdom appeared in almost every incident. Constant messages were reminding him that the Gnome Kingdom's hatred towards his castle's forces was increasing. The Gnome Kingdom and Angel Castle had reached a point where they would not rest until one of them was completely destroyed.
Haru looked up at the Angel and said, "Explain!"
The Death Angel Eveline said respectfully, "Reporting to my Lord, when I was searching the periphery of the Castle for local forces and strong monsters, I accidentally found a Gnome Team…" In her words, Eveline also mentioned the few Rangers. "They were captured by the Gnomes and taken to the Gnome Kingdom."
"The reason I didn't save them was that when they were captured by the Gnomes, to beg for mercy, they exposed the location of the Angel Castle! They were a group of heretics who were not worthy of redemption…"
"You did the right thing!" Haru nodded appreciatively towards Eveline. He did not expect that a group of Rangers would appear so soon in the vicinity of Angel Castle. Rather than saying that it was to join his castle, it was better to say that they wanted to use the resources of Angel Castle to increase their strength.
Of course, the Rangers joining castle forces was a mutually beneficial relationship. However, Haru did not want a Ranger to appear in his castle. Although this was a real-world, many Castle Lords and Rangers regarded themselves as players who were playing some MMORPG video game. 'Players' that possess loyalty? It was a laughable concept. From the fact that as soon as they were captured, they betrayed Haru without any second thought, it was obvious that these 'players' were unreliable.
Perhaps in the future, after Haru would establish a kingdom, he would allow them to live in his kingdom. As for now, Haru ordered Eveline, "Tell Lysandra to send an angel to patrol the castle's borders. No Rangers are allowed to enter my castle's territory. If they don't listen, kill them!"
"Yes, my Lord!" Eveline complied respectfully. In her eyes, which were like black gems, there was a clear aura of death. She did not like the Rangers either. She then pointed at the Gnomes kneeling on the ground.
"Lord Almighty. These Gnomes are from the Gnome Kingdom! Now, under the guidance of Seraphina, they have comprehended their faith, escaped the darkness and become your believers!"
When Haru's gaze landed on the Gnomes, they immediately crawled down and said devoutly, "Praise you, Almighty Lord!"
One could tell that they were very excited. As believers, they were able to see their God of Faith with their own eyes. This was enough to make them extremely excited, and it also indirectly affected their belief in Haru. It became even more pious.
Haru asked, "Who sent you here? The king of the Gnome Kingdom?"
The Tier 9 Gnome Lord said with trepidation: "Almighty Lord, please forgive your believers…"
Haru waved his hand and interrupted him. Just answer whatever I ask! "As my believers, I won't punish you for your past, as long as your faith is firm!"
"Praise you, merciful Lord!" The Tier 9 Gnome Lord hurriedly said, "The Great Elder of the kingdom used the power of the Saint Tier to predict the situation of the Gnome Tribe. He sent us here to investigate the situation."
"Saint Tier?" Haru frowned and said, "There are Sain Tier powerhouses in the Gnome Kingdom?"
The Tier 9 Gnome Lord nodded. "There's only the Great Elder at Saint Tier. He's the backbone of the kingdom and the strongest Gnome in the history of the Dark Forest's Gnomes!" The Gnome Race was spread throughout the Endless Continent. It wasn't just the Dark Forest, there were many places where Gnomes existed. There was more than one Gnome Kingdom.
This Gnome Kingdom controlled the Dark Forest. There were many other races like the Gnomes. Only a few powerful races had a single ruling system on the Endless Continent, such as the Elf Empire. Other than the core of the Elven Empire, the Elves in other places were only branches and were not allowed to form a kingdom. The Gnomes were different. There were too many clansmen all over the world. That was why many regions had independent Gnome Kingdoms.
