Chapter 26 - The Arrival of the King

"All of you are fools. You can't even realize what happened to your kingdom. Especially the Helmut Kingdom, you underestimate our king too much." Liam's gaze was relentlessly focused on the troops from the enemy side. A cold laugh escaped his mouth. As a commander of the Blanc Kingdom's troops, Liam bears all responsibility for deciding the next course of action in their attack.

By the time Liam noticed the changes in the Iron Kingdom's territory, he had completely assumed that the Iron Kingdom had been defeated by the enemy forces. From Liam's point of view, he knew that the providence and fortune of the Iron Kingdom had declined very drastically.

For Liam, he considered that a decline in the providence of a kingdom was not a profitable thing in the eyes of his king. Without saying a word, Liam's index finger began to focus on the figure of the man with a scar on his face.

"Claus! I will give you one chance! Leave the enemy and join us! If you wish to escape alive from our king's attackers, I advise you to withdraw your entire army!"

Claus's gaze did not reveal his expression. Suddenly, a lazy face appeared on his face. After fighting for some time with the enemy side, Claus realized that Liam and the previous man he killed were simply no match for Commander Leo.

Thinking back that Commander Leo's strength had surpassed every commander of the three kingdoms, a bad feeling struck Claus' heart. Claus's status in the Helmut Kingdom could be said to be a commander. The rivalry between commanders has become a hot topic of discussion among the population.

But because Commander Leo's strength had surpassed every commander of the three kingdoms, Claus was completely incomparable to Commander Leo's strength. Pretending to cough, a cold expression appeared on Claus' face.

"Who are you to dare order me? I will only listen to orders from my king if he wants to withdraw the entire army. But unfortunately, that is not possible." Moving his eyes slightly to the side, a small smile appeared on Claus' face. He had watched his king's expression several times. Therefore, he had been completely certain that his king would not betray the troops from the Lionheart Kingdom.

Liam's expression turned very bad again. In Liam's point of view, he considered that the combat strength of the Blanc Kingdom's troops was the highest of the other three kingdoms.

Pondering for some time, a sigh escaped Liam's mouth. Even though he wanted to retreat, he knew that Commander Leo couldn't let him leave the Iron Kingdom's territory.

Liam's previously cold face showed a pale face. Regardless of what was happening, Liam's gaze was constantly fixed on the entire troops below him.

"All of you! Open the way for us to return to the Blanc Kingdom!" Liam's tone of voice was now different from when he first gave his order. The current him had completely lost his self-confidence. The expressions of the Blanc Kingdom's troops showed their half-doubtful faces.

Most of the troops from the Blanc Kingdom did not carry out Liam's orders. Instead, they all seemed to have stopped their actions of burning all the tents of the Iron Kingdom's troops.

After the war fought by both sides, the troops from the Blanc Kingdom realized that they would not be able to win against the troops from the Lionheart Kingdom. The desire to give up on the Lionheart Kingdom was increasingly creeping into their minds.

Likewise, the troops from the Iron Kingdom were no different from the troops from the Blanc Kingdom. The actions they took were much faster than those of the Blanc Kingdom's troops.

By bowing their bodies before the enemy troops, almost the entire Blanc Kingdom's troops also followed the actions of the Iron Kingdom's troops. As they lowered their bodies in front of Commander Leo and Claus, a look of despair appeared on Liam's face.

Instead of threatening action from the troops under him, he decided not to open his mouth. A feeling of worry struck Liam's heart.

"Oh? Do you want to surrender? I will be happy to let you surrender. However... because King William wants you all to die, we will not be able to decide on granting your wish." The figure of King Helmut appeared beside Claus. His calm expression was endlessly focused on the enemy troops. As a king, King Helmut considered that the morale of the two royal armies had completely lost its enthusiasm.

In fact, King Helmut was a little tempted to listen to the offer from the two armies. To be able to subdue a large number of troops in one day, William's tactics in the eyes of King Helmut had completely reached their peak.

An amazed expression appeared on King Helmut's face. Although he initially looked down on William's plan, he had completely changed his opinion towards William.

Even if King Helmut heard that the whole world did not believe that William could kill King Blanc, he would be the only person who would believe in him. William's strength was simply unreasonable. He alone was enough to wipe out the entire region of the Iron Kingdom.

"That... I beg you to forgive us! We promise that we will do as you ask!"

Waking up from his thoughts, a scream came from Liam's mouth. The voices of the troops who previously opened their mouths came from the Blanc Kingdom. If it were another party like the Iron Kingdom's troops, Liam would completely tolerate their attitude.

"How dare you betray His Majesty! I will kill you all!" A powerful aura swept through Liam's entire body. The current him had completely lost his mind. Without caring about life and death, Liam had completely drowned in his anger.

A slightly serious expression appeared on Claus' face. To allow such a large number of troops to die so horribly, Claus hoped that they could be rescued and used as additional troops.

"Your Majesty, is this okay? They are starting to kill each other. I'm afraid that will..." Claus's voice stopped when he saw the serious expression on his king's face. His previously calm gaze betrayed his fear. Unable to stop himself from turning his gaze back to the enemy troops, Claus decided to forget the thoughts in his head.

King Helmut shook his head. After seeing the situation on the enemy's side, he fully knew that the enemy had lost on their side.

"Don't be too rash. That person is not the person who can give us permission to make all our decisions. Don't act in a way that will harm us."

A nod appeared on Claus's head. Instead of ignoring the words of his king, Claus decided to discard the stupid thoughts that had previously plagued his mind.

"Let's just wait for King William to return. He will decide everything—" Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on King Helmut's face. Looking to the side above him, a nervous look appeared on King Helmut's face.

Unable to restrain himself from bowing his body, King Helmut decided to show his respect in front of the man. After not seeing the man for some time, King Helmut realized that William's strength had increased drastically.

"Hey... are you guys finished?" William's cold gaze could be felt by the troops below him. Both the enemy troops and the other troops showed disbelief.

The enemy troops fell silent from their positions. Their eyes were endlessly focused on the head in William's hand, which was the head of King Iron.

Swallowing their saliva, the entire troops of the Iron Kingdom had completely given up fighting the Lionheart Kingdom's troops. To them, the death of their king was no different from being completely defeated by the enemy.

There was no visible expression on Liam's face. Instead of wanting to get away from that place, Liam had completely given up fighting against the troops from the Lionheart Kingdom.

Liam's gaze was now focused on the side below him. When Liam wanted to look at William, he felt a strong killing intent visible in William's pupils.

The troops from the Lionheart Kingdom bowed their bodies before William. As William's subordinates, they fully believed that their lord couldn't be defeated by the king of the Iron Kingdom.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for taking control of the entire Iron Kingdom! We, your subordinates, congratulate you on your success!"

A small nod appeared on William's head. After staying in the sky for some time, he decided to land in enemy territory.

A worried expression appeared on Commander Leo's face. In Commander Leo's point of view, he still thought that his lord was someone he had to protect.

"Your Majesty! Please don't get too close to those people. They're all starting to kill each other now!"

Ignoring Commander Leo's words, William decided to walk closer to the enemy troops in front of him. Every step he took was enough to take him dozens of steps away.

"Are you Sir Liam? One of the three commanders of the Blanc Kingdom? If I remember, I killed that commander with red hair before. If I kill you again, I think it will bring the number of commanders in the Blanc Kingdom remaining to one." William's words were like arrows that could pierce the spirit of a fighter. By listening to William's words, Liam's expression seemed to have completely shown his angry face.
