81 Chapter 81: Expedition 1

Bang!

A stone table decorated with numerous rubies crumbled instantly under the assault of the enrage king. This was the king's chambers and only members of the royal family and the kingdom guardian were allowed, only Kuen was absent. At this point, where the king was enraged, they could only remain silent and watch

"That boy dares to create a scene in front of everyone!... If this kid were not liked by the general population, I would have wiped him out with just a single attack!!!" Robert roared The others only nodded their heads in agreement

"I must confess father, coming up with an expedition to get rid of these people so quickly after the original plan failed… That quick thinking is the reason you stand at the very top of the kingdom now, even though you had brothers who were more eligible for the throne" Gerald laughed as he praised his father.

Hearing Geralds words, a broad smile appeared on Robert's face and he slowly returned to his seat

"The expedition is not a ruse… a sky rift appeared at the center of the world once again and just like the others the previous ones, it leads to a mysterious dungeon which guarantees great rewards should it be conquered. Such occurrences are quite rare, I have only witnessed 3 of these throughout my life" Robert said with an excited expression on his face.

The Gyro kingdom was positioned at the southern region Aldemar continent which was the biggest continent in this world. In the northern region was the Alda a kingdom filled with lush vegetation and powerful nature forces. In the western region is Baldmar, the home of the most legendary Lizardmen race which were rumored to have the ability to kill a man with just a glance. And then there is Cato, the kingdom with human inhabitants of the same race, unlike Gyro which accepted all races, be it light skinned or Dark skinned people. As long as they are human, the Gyro kingdom would always accept them, this made this kingdom quite popular on the continent.

Contrary to this, Cato was quite different. They are all light skinned and have frail bodies, yet no one dared to underestimate their talent in alchemy and forging. While items like magic weapons and Magic enhancing potions are rare, these things were common in that part of the continent. Rumor has it that kids of nobles start training with magic weapons at the tender age of five, and even commoners can afford bronze level magic weapons. This kingdom contained one of the most terrifying forces in the continent! Even the Gyro kingdom couldn't compare. It is also known that Kuen's Mother is from that kingdom

The center of the world is a name given to the center of the Continent. It is said that this place is the most dangerous part of the continent, filled with high level beasts. It is not uncommon to hear news like an adventurer team or a military battalion, encountering level 30-40 beasts here. Even Silver realm adventurers or military officials will be killed instantly if they are not careful.

A sky rift appearing at the center of the continent is something that rarely happens and has no specific day of the year it happens. Sometimes it appears only once in fifty years, sometimes it takes centuries for it to occur, the time frame usually varies but the rewards for those who conquer it is actually worth the risk. The great kingdom of Bladmar was initially a humble gathering, not different from the gatherings of goblins in caves even though they were more organized. Just barely two centuries ago, a sky rift appeared and a team of powerful lizard men went in. At that time, no kingdom had ever conquered the dungeon, only losing talented warriors there so these kingdoms branded it a plague and avoided it.

Two months after the team of lizard men entered, they returned and somehow managed to clear the dungeon. With the power and precious equipment they acquired, these lizardmen returned to the western region of the continent and slaughtered everyone who stood it against them. It was said that Baldmar, the leader of the lizard expedition team and first king of the Bladmar kingdom, got possession of a gold level magic weapon with which he used to massacre the combined army of Alda, Cato, and Gyro who sort to steal the rewards they earned in the dungeon.

......

The eyes of everyone in the room lit up when they heard king Robert's words and even the kingdom mage smiled, knowing how important the expedition is. If their kingdom could best the other kingdoms and acquire the treasures of the dungeon, with the help of the treasures they have acquired, they should have enough power to subdue the other three kingdoms and monopolize the resources of the continent.

"It's a pity those young lads, got on your bad side… considering their powers and potential, they definitely would have made it to the silver realm and would have been of great use to the continent" Kalos sighed

Roberts expression turned ugly and he considered Kalos words, having numerous silver class would also boost the strength of the kingdom, the gain seemed to be much and very enticing but then again, these people went against the king.

After pondering on this issue for a while, diabolical thoughts crawled up his mind and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Seeing this, the others in the room shuddered involuntarily and took a step back instinctively, waiting for the King to speak.

Robert, from the very beginning from when has been known for his craftiness and cunning nature. Even as a mid grade bronze level warrior and mage, he was able to plot against his two elder brothers who were all in the silver realm and successfully got them killed, taking the throne for himself. It was quite accurate to say that whenever this man plotted against someone, the person days are already numbered and the only person that can save him is Robert himself.Even after becoming king, this disgusting nature of his did not change, and it even got to points where he plots against mere citizens who speak out against his rule.

"Secretly contact the family of the members of team guardians… I'll love to speak to them" Robert grinned as he spoke

"Also… concerning the unknown mage, supporting these teams in the shadows and also broadcasting their glorious moments to help them win the heart of the people… Pour more resources into the investigation… Just find that person" he said

"What do you plan to do my king?' Kalos asked

"Only one person has to die… I would have let them walk away with a few scars but after the scene, that commoner pulled today, I can't forgive him…. I will pardon the rest but Derik Angus must die...!!!"
