Chapter 5 - 5. Arthur Sterling

Wolfspire Citadel is the northern stronghold of the Moonlight Empire. Strong Bull Mountain is within the jurisdiction of this stronghold. Today, the third son of the lord of Wolfspire Citadel, Third Young Master Dominic Sterling, has secret news, so he led his troops to surround the Three Tiger Mountain bandits' lair.

Internal and external attacks made the siege process extremely favorable. This long-standing bandit group was completely destroyed, and the head of the leader, Raven Blackwood, has fallen.

Having completed an important objective, the group is currently taking shelter from the rain inside an abandoned temple by the roadside.

Beside the bonfire, everyone in the group is chatting, laughing, and celebrating this victory.

- Indeed, following Young Master Sterling into battle is the right path. This time, Young Master returns as the hero of our Wolfspire Citadel.

- With this victory, the lord will surely come to the Aurelius family to propose on behalf of the Young Master for you and Miss Clara, the most beautiful lady in our city of Wolfspire. Truly, it is double the joy.

 - Isn't that right. In our Wolfspire City, besides Young Master Sterling, which young master is worthy of our City's most beautiful beauty?

 Sitting in the middle, immersed in the compliments...

'I, Sterling, Arthur Sterling, am not as brave or smart as my brothers. But among all of them, I am the most balanced, brave enough, talented enough. If someone says that I am a perfect person, it is not an exaggeration.

Tonight, the most notorious and brutal bandit group in the past 50 years in the area under the jurisdiction of Wolfspire City was destroyed by me in less than half a day. 

My victory is perfect.

 Miss Clara, only I am worthy of you.

Thinking about my future, being able to hug and love that small, soft body.. heh.. heh…he he.'

 - Alright. Returning to the City, each person will be rewarded with 3 taels of silver.

 Hearing this, everyone was extremely happy and continued to flatter..

- Thank you, sir. This gentleman is perfect and generous. Only the most beautiful lady, Miss Clara, is worthy of this gentleman....

- The important thing is, from now on, the people will no longer have to worry about bandits running rampant... the people can live in peace... This blessing is bestowed upon us by Young Master Arthur.

Everyone was chatting animatedly when suddenly, in a moment, everything became quiet. A wave of vague fate spread out, boundless and endless, filling all directions. The water droplets stopped falling and suspended in midair, the wind blew in a magical trajectory, the clouds outside cleared, the sky became high, the stars twinkled and connected together... and then a majestic scene appeared.

Trembling, fear, and confusion covered everything below.

When the scene ended, Arthur Sterling realized that this was a sign that a world-shaking treasure had appeared. But this was not a treasure that he could obtain.

This whole place would soon become a battlefield for supernatural forces. Leaving quickly was the right path, as this great opportunity would crush anyone who was not qualified enough to dare approach it.

Immediately, Arthur woke everyone up and ordered them to return immediately in the dark night.

After the group of people following the main road left for a while, they encountered two groups of people. On one side was a group of people with silver wolf patterns playing under the moonlight on their sleeves and hems. These are the soldiers of the Moonlight Empire. One side of the clothes has a pattern of a crane flying high in the sky, this is the symbol of the Great Prosperian Dominion.

These are the two forces of the two empires, arriving first.

The leader of the Great Prosperian Dominion , king faction is a white-haired old man, elegant, with a gentle face, surrounded by a wall of elegant energy, every move of his makes people feel calm and gentle, this is Mr. Bai Huo. 

The old man smiled and said.

- Young master, I wonder what you are doing here so late at night.

 Immediately, General Lucius Aurelius spoke up beside him

- This man. I am General Lucius Aurelius, the commander of the Silver Wolf Legion. With me here, no one will be able to make things difficult for you, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Why are you here?

Arthur Sterling.

'Oh. This person is Clara's uncle. Indeed, Indeed, this new phenomenon is a big event.

The first time I met this elder, this is my chance. I must show off well, make a good impression. Later, when we go back and forth and meet in the house, it will be easier to talk'

- I am Arthur, Arthur Sterling, the third son of Dominic Sterling- Lord of Wolfspire City. Today, I am in charge of going into the mountains to kill the bandits at Strong Bull Mountain.... And I have taken... the head of the leader.

The atmosphere was a little silent. Arthur suddenly felt uneasy.. 'Did I say something wrong? Why are you two so quiet...'

Mr. Bai Huo seemed surprised and curious.

- This young lord is indeed talented. Can you show me the head you just took?

Arthur Sterling..

Um. This gentleman must be a member of the Great Prosperity. This person can be on par with General Lucius Aurelius, his status is definitely not ordinary. But he wants to see the head he just took? Is that too much?

Sterling turned to look at General Lucius Aurelius, asking for his opinion.

Immediately, General Lucius Aurelius spoke up.

- No need, Mr. Bai Huo, it seems that this junior and the other dozens of people really just went to catch robbers. Arthur, I know your father. Now, what did you see inside and what did you do? Tell this gentleman everything.

When Arthur Sterling heard this, he was very happy in his heart but appeared calm on the outside as he recounted his exploits.

- After destroying the notorious bandits, our group took a break and took shelter from the rain in a temple not far away. When the strange treasure appeared, knowing that my strength was limited, I chose to leave first. I did not interfere in this matter, to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and casualties. As for the treasure, I know nothing.

General Lucius Aurelius nodded and smiled.

- Very good. A young man with such courage and the ability to advance and retreat is very good. Your father would be proud of you.

- Arthur, you have finished your work here and can leave now.

 From beginning to end, Mr. Bai Huo attentively observed everything. 'These two people in front of me, one tossing and the other catching, hiding everything. Do they think I'm stupid? '

 - Wait, you have a rare mindset to think that you can see a treasure without being greedy. I have to admit that you are indeed courageous and capable, but it is impossible for you to leave alone with the treasure.

 Immediately, General Aurelius stepped forward, frowning, his words filled with doubt.

- What do you mean? Sir.

Arthur Sterling below heard the gentleman's meaning that he was holding a treasure and was startled. 'This cannot be misunderstood' he waved his hand in confusion.

 - You have a misunderstanding. I really didn't take away the treasure.

 General Aurelius's voice was eloquent. 

- That's right. How could such a weakling take such a great treasure? Sir misunderstood.

 Hearing this uncle eloquently criticized his own incompetence, Arthur secretly glanced at General Lucius Aurelius. In my heart I thought, you are wrong! I'm not an incompetent person, I just have limited strength and can't compete. No.. Now is not the time..

- You misunderstood. I really didn't take the treasure.

General Aurelius' voice was eloquent.

- That's right. He doesn't have the strength and ability to take such a great treasure? Sir, you misunderstood.

Arthur Sterling. Hearing this uncle's eloquent criticism of his incompetence, he secretly glanced at General Lucius. In his heart, he thought, 'You're wrong! I'm not incompetent, it's just that my strength is limited, I can't compete' 'No. Now is not the time to discuss this issue of ability. I need to humble myself and explain to that sir.'

- Sir, you misunderstood.

Suddenly, a loud, strong, and solemn shout rang out.

- Silence.

General Lucius Aurelius was sent flying by an invisible force, he didn't have time to do anything, his muscular body was thrown backwards, hitting several nearby trees before stopping.

The 3 subordinates below were not so lucky, they were immediately thrown away and unconscious.

 Pinned to the tree trunk, General Lucius Aurelius burned his essence blood, strained to break the imprisonment from the spell, and then swung a palm towards Arthur Sterling.

- Run. Don't let the treasure fall into the hands of these people. Let me help you stop them.

 The incident happened too quickly, as soon as he regained his composure, Arthur Sterling was already in a strange place. He was a little stunned.

- I really don't have any treasure.. Even you misunderstood me..
