"Your Majesty! There's something strange happening outside the palace! Someone seems to be trying to absorb all the fortune from our kingdom!"
Hearing the words of his subordinate, King Iron's expression darkened. A powerful killing intent surged out from his body.
Ignoring the cooperation problems that occurred with the Blanc Kingdom, King Iron decided to walk down from his throne. His eyes now turned to everyone in the palace.
"What happened? I also just realized that all providence in the kingdom is decreasing as time goes by." gritting his teeth, King Iron's gaze now showed his sharp gaze. After some time, King Iron's gaze began to focus on his advisor.
The king's advisor was a wise man. He was a friendly old man, accompanied by a fine beard that appeared on his chin.
A nervous expression appeared on the advisor's face. Instead of ignoring his lord's gaze, the advisor decided to bow his body before his lord.
"I beg you not to rush. According to me, I have calculated that the enemy can't enter the borders of the Iron Kingdom. Moreover, the front troops can still withstand any attack launched by the joint attack of the two kingdoms."
A slight frown appeared on King Iron's face. Although he was worried about the problem of providence disappearing from his territory, he was also not completely able to act as he wished.
Resisting the invasion of two kingdoms was reckless. At first, the Iron Kingdom did not want to betray King William, but they knew that King William couldn't survive the attack of the Blanc Kingdom.
But what the king of the Iron Kingdom thought was wrong. On the other hand, the Helmut Kingdom has now completely submitted to William's orders. With the Helmut Kingdom submitting to King William's orders, the Iron Kingdom couldn't survive the combined attack of the two kingdoms.
King Iron's expression showed a worried look. As a king and ruler of the Iron Kingdom, King Iron's responsibility for the safety of his people comes first.
"We can't continue to remain silent like this. Prepare the entire army to scout out part of the Iron Kingdom's territory! Make sure the intruder gets his comeuppance for daring to absorb some of the Iron Kingdom's fortune!" King Iron's tone revealed his domineering voice. Another side of King Iron was very angry at the actions of the enemy. In his perspective, absorbing providence from a territory was an act that violated the rules of war.
If this news were spread by outsiders, it would be impossible for the Lionheart Kingdom to maintain its image in front of all the other kingdoms out there. Luckily, King William was a strong king.
Absorbing fortune and providence from a region was William's daily bread. With William's increasing power, he would be able to fully defend his territory from the invasion of other powerful kingdoms.
After the order from King Iron was issued, the entire army of the Iron Kingdom had carried out its duties. The guards relentlessly began searching for intruders, ordered by their king.
But what they did was pointless. William's presence was like an illusion in the sky. With his skill in hiding his presence, no one below the Formation Circle stage noticed his presence.
Most of the troops and kings of the Iron Kingdom were experts of the Freedom Circle stage and below. Therefore, William's confidence in conquering the Iron Kingdom was very high.
The three neighbors of the Lionheart Kingdom were three kingdoms that were much weaker than the other outside kingdoms. Most of the Blanc Kingdom's troops consisted of the Freedom Circle stage and below. But King Blanc was different; he was an expert blessed with extraordinary power.
In his power to create the Blanc Kingdom, King Blanc's strength could be said to have reached the Formation Circle stage. One attack from King Blanc was enough to level much of the capital itself.
"Oh? Have they realized what happened? It doesn't matter. Either way, sooner or later, they will become my enemies. I have to be prepared to kill some of them." A sigh escaped William's mouth. Shaking his head for a while, his figure now disappeared from the sky.
Even though William wanted to absorb all the providence of the Iron Kingdom, he knew that there was no way he could kill all the good fortune of the Iron Kingdom. To destroy the Iron Kingdom, William needed to at least wipe out the entire population in it.
Whatever it is, William is not someone who can kill every inhabitant of a kingdom. Thinking back to the method he used previously in conquering the Helmut Kingdom, the thought of conquering the Iron Kingdom began to creep into his mind.
"It's fine to rule over some territory. I'm also not that anxious to just rule over a small territory. Oh Sun God, I hope You can see how Your servant brings You so much benefit. I will gather followers for You in the number of over half a million!" A cold laugh came out of William's mouth. His gaze returned to the full moon above him. Thinking back to the figure of the God of Sun's statue, a look of disdain appeared on William's face.
Standing in the middle outside the walls of the Iron Kingdom, William's figure is now wearing a black hood. His brown eyes were endlessly focused on the side above the wall of the Iron Kingdom.
Several guards began to notice William's presence. A small portion of the guards began to focus their gaze on William. Suddenly, bad expressions appeared on their faces.
By the time one of the guards could open his mouth, he felt his neck split open and his organs. A blank look began to appear in the guard's eyes.
The death of the guard only took a few seconds. With William's current strength, he was more than enough to wipe out the entire Iron Kingdom army.
The sound of a trumpet sounded over the wall. William's presence was enough to make the troops think that William was their enemy. The entire troops began to prepare to run out from outside the royal walls.
The pressure generated by thousands of Iron Kingdom troops could make anyone feel a sense of unease in their hearts. But unfortunately, William was different. His calm and arrogant expression was endlessly focused on the troops.
A small grin appeared on William's lips. Without paying attention to the actions of the troops, William again pulled his sword out of its sheath.
A powerful pressure surged from William's body. Three small beads appeared and surrounded William's back, which was very beautiful, and floated and formed a circle.
William's expression did not change. The circle behind William began to spin very quickly. The moment it started spinning, all of William's combat power was increased to an insane level.
Worried expressions could be seen on the faces of the troops. From their point of view, their gaze seemed to show their horror towards William's figure.
The power released by William was enough to destroy the foothold beneath him. A small crater formed under William's feet, but his figure did not fall into the crater.
Instead of staying where he was, the mana in William's hand began to focus on his sword. After gathering a large amount of mana, William, without hesitation, shot a beam of light out of the tip of his sword.
No one was able to react in time to William's attack. William's one shot could easily destroy the Iron Kingdom's defensive walls. The king of the Iron Kingdom was seen walking out of the palace.
After hearing the terrible explosion that occurred in the kingdom, King Iron fully realized that their current enemy was not an ordinary enemy in general. Therefore, King Iron decided to intervene in the fight against this powerful enemy.
'The three beads behind my back are the result of my hard work in increasing my strength. I am very grateful that I chose to cultivate the three powers of the primary layer. If I don't do it, my strength will be far lower than the average Formation Circle stage.' Pondering for some time, William decided to once again launch his attack. The aura on William's body, which was previously gold, showed changes.
A bright red aura surrounded the entire place. One of King Iron's hands now covered part of his face. Anger could be seen on King Iron's face. Unable to hold back his killing intent, King Iron decided to show all his strength.
Suddenly, King Iron's body experienced a terrible pressure. His figure that previously floated in the sky fell from its place again. His eyes were slightly focused on William's figure.
An expression of fear and worry appeared on King Iron's face. As a king, King Iron had seen the figures of the ruler of every kingdoms around him several times.
