"Your Excellency, there is a misunderstanding." Bima immediately said.
"Ho… Misunderstanding, huh…" Alex said with a poker face.
"That's right. My eyes have been clouded by my own granddaughter. I realized I was wrong, and I hope your excellency forgives me." Bima said desperately.
Alex did not have any change in his expression. Instead of rebuking his claim that was full of holes, he took out a single space ring. He put the space ring on the table and said, "Here… Look at this, inside of this space ring is the full inheritance of a Martial Emperor.
"Don't you wage this war because of this? Here take this. There are many rank 5 and rank 6 weapons as well as Heaven Tier Martial Arts. Come and take it." Alex said.
Bima's body shook a little when he heard that. However, he did not dare to take it after knowing a bit of Alex's 'identity.' In fact, he was scared stiff… he also got restrained by Nelson's skill though. So, even if he wanted to move, he would not be able to.
Sadly, even though Bima said all of that, Morgan could not help but be disappointed. He never thought the king he had served up till now, the king that he adored and served with all of his heart, had fallen to greed. "Your Majesty… you… this war… this war… is not because of Princess Mega? But that ring?"
Morgan was devastated when he knew that. He remembered when Alex suddenly barged in. "Your highness… you… you use that cursed pill that devastated our soldiers in that desolating war?"
Mega could not say anything as Morgan had realized all of them at this moment. Even if she lied, she would not be able to trick Morgan again. She could only look at Alex with hatred.
"Why don't you take it? I don't have that much time," Alex said while yawning.
"No no, I don't dare…" Bima replied hurriedly. "This is really a misunderstanding. Your excellency, Mega here is the one who tricked all of us. You can do anything to her as long as it can quell your anger."
"Haha… misunderstanding… all of it is only a misunderstanding. This is not what you said… Nelson. I have changed my mind." Alex laughed and stated something beyond their imagination. Even Nelson was surprised by his decision.
Bima was overjoyed when he heard that. He thought Alex would spare him. "Your excellency. You can do anything to her. No no, In fact, your excellency just needs to state a name that got involved in this, and I will kill that person."
Morgan was too shocked when he saw the king he served act like this. He did not know why, but the past memories kept coming inside his head. He adored his king, who was brave and fought anyone.
He somehow understood. On a few occasions in the past, Bima chose not to fight. He said there would be a trap or whatever excuse he could get and convinced them with it. And he only fought bravely to the opponent that he could win. Upon realizing that, Morgan fell to despair.
Nelson was surprised by Alex's decision. However, he did not say anything. If Alex wanted it that way, he would only comply. However, even that happiness came short when Alex continued his sentence.
"I have changed my mind. He is too pathetic. I think Jeanne will only need to deal with one person, but it seems the number is increased by one."
"!!!" Nelson smirked when he heard that. "I see, he will have a nightmare before he dies."
"Wha-?! Your-your excellency?" Bima was shocked when he heard the word 'die.'
"Do not babble any further, o former king of the Southern Kingdom. Silently accept that your names shall be etched into history as the foolish." Nelson said with killing intent.
"You, you…"
"Cripple them," Alex said with a cold tone.
"You bastard! I will kill you! I will kill you!" There was a sudden outbreak from Mega. She struggled to escape by cutting the black tentacles but to no avail. Every time, she cut them, she still could not move from her spot and got entangled by the black tentacles again.
"You-!"
As soon as Nelson heard his order, he instantly disappeared and crippled them. Because they were taken by surprise, they could not react to Nelson's speed.
Alex then waved his hands. The blood suddenly started floating toward Alex. He then skillfully controlled the blood to make symbols on the ground. He was planning to make an array for them to hold them inside as they started killing the rest of the soldiers.
"Young Master… There is a bit of a problem if we spare this old man so Jeanne can have a round with him." Nelson said in hesitant sound.
"I know. We won't have his head to scare the soldiers. Don't worry, I still have a clear picture of our big goal. We will burn this tent and have that old man's head. Even though it won't be that effective. As long as we could control the soldiers' good enough, they should be fooled by that." Alex explained while pointing at Morgan.
Nelson nodded his head before he disappeared again. Morgan wanted to react, but he did not have his past strength anymore. He just could not react before his head flew to the air.
"You bastard, I won't forgive you!" Mega shouted.
"I am the one who can't forgive you," Alex said. He did not want to hear any words from her again, so he immediately made a sound insulation array.
"Nelson. Kill the other Martial Lords now."
"Understood." Nelson nodded and disappeared. He roamed around the soldiers and killed the Martial Lords one by one.
Alex did not join him in killing the others since Nelson would be faster if he went alone. Alex did not want to disturb his job. He then took out Leoz's and Fabio's cards.
"Summon."
Leoz and Fabio appeared in front of him. If Morgan were still alive, he would immediately recognize this yellow-haired buffy guy. However, for Bima and Mega, their minds could not process it anymore. They did not know how these two people suddenly appeared in this place.
But, as a former 10-Star Martial Lord, Morgan could feel the same aura in Leoz. In other words, he knew Leoz was a 10-Star Martial Lord.
…
After around two hours, Nelson finally came back. In these two hours, Mega was spouting many hatred words while Bima tried to beg for his life. However, because of Alex's Sound Insulation Array, they could not hear a single thing.
"Leoz, Fabio. We don't have many cards to create chaos. So, be ready to use your True Spirit Body if needed."
"Yes." Both of them nodded. He then looked at Nelson, "Are you ready?"
"Yes. I have killed all of their Martial Lords as well as three thousand soldiers in their tent. Of course, those soldiers were Martial Grandmasters. And with the big number of Martial Masters in this army, we should be able to kill all of them before the sunrise." Nelson nodded his head.
"Before we start the battle, use your Spiritual Energy to suppress them first. I will also use my Pure Fire Element to restraint them. Leoz and Fabio will hide until the confusion starts."
However, before they started, Nelson added. "Young Master. Since we don't have enough cards to play, I thought I needed to make another play. So, I bring all of the Martial Lord's heads in this army. If we make some announcement while displaying these heads, we should be able to make them panic."
Alex was surprised to hear that. He pondered for a bit before coming up with another plan. He smirked as he took out Anna's, Greg's, and Vera's card.
"Greg, Vera, I want both of you to raise the 'wall' at my notice. Then Anna, as soon as you see the wall appear, you will then start making ruckus from your position."
"Understood."
Alex then took a deep breath, "Pure Fire."
He then looked at Nelson, "Let's go."
Nelson nodded. Alex then used his fire to burn the tent.
The soldiers from the outside suddenly smelled a burning scent. And when they realized that the burnt smell came from their leaders' tent. They were dumbfounded before shouting, "We are under attack!"
"The commanders are under attack!"
"Protect his majesty!"
However, before they managed to do that. They suddenly heard a huge explosion.
"Boom-!" They stopped in their tracks after hearing that explosion. They realized that the explosion was not that simple as they could feel an intense heat coming from the sky.
The dark sky slowly brightened as they could see two men in the sky as well as a huge fire phoenix that brightened the dark sky around them. And one of them was holding someone's head. They instantly recognized whose head was that.
"War Minister Morgan!"
"How dare they kill our War Minister!"
Nelson suddenly let out his overbearing Spiritual Energy. At the same time, many people who had a Fire Element started groveling on the ground. They felt an immeasurable pressure inside their body and forced them to grovel on the ground.
"Hear me soldiers of the Southern Kingdom. Your leader, the former king of the Southern Kingdom, had run away. All of your Martial Lords have been killed by us. And now, all of you will die in this place as this place has been surrounded by us!" Alex said.
"What are you saying?"
"How dare you kill our Minister Morgan."
"Kill him, avenge our Minister. As long as we hold long enough, our king will save us."
Alex looked at Nelson, who nodded his head.
"Foolish soldiers. Even you could not recognize all of these heads." Nelson said coldly as he took out each Martial Lord's head he had killed earlier.
The soldiers dropped their jaw when they saw that.
"Lord Miran!"
"Lord Azul!"
"Lord Gerfen!"
They recognized all of those heads. And the moment their emotion was at the peak, Alex signaled Vera and Greg. "Raise the wall!"
"Gurururu!" They heard a huge sound around them and when they turned their heads to the side. They saw a huge ice wall on their left and a huge metal translucent wall on their right.
They were shocked to the core. Before they started panicking, a few soldiers managed to grit their teeth while calming their heads.
"Don't panic!"
"Don't pa-!"
"Gah!" However, before they managed to calm the other soldiers, they heard screams coming from the front.
"Argh!"
"No!"
"Don't kill me!"
The screams made the soldiers' scared as their faces became pale. At that time, Alex immediately let the phoenix crash to the ground.
"Boom!"
It made a huge explosion in the centre of their army. Alex killed around many soldiers with just that explosion.
It was at this time that Leoz and Fabio started their act.
"No no no! All of our Martial Lords had been killed by them, and his majesty already abandoned us! We will die here!" Leoz shouted with a scared tone.
"I still want to live! Even his majesty already deserted this war, I will also run for my life!" Fabio followed him.
"Ah, south south. Our back is still safe. Run for your lives!" Leoz shouted again while grinning.
It took the soldiers a few seconds to realize all of those babblings. They noticed that Bima did not come to this place to rescue them because he had deserted the battlefield. And Alex's phoenix and Nelson's Spiritual Pressure scared them out of their lives.
Alex then made a few firebirds and exploded them in their rank.
"Boom Boom Boom!"
"Ah!"
"Goh!"
The soldiers dying screams filled their ears. A few soldiers tried to charge at Alex and Nelson with braveness. However, Nelson appeared in front of them, and with a single swing from his sword, he killed all of them.
"Foolish soldiers. All of you will die!" Nelson said.
