Chapter 449: To war

Days after days Shadowslash and the whole crew traveled throughout the kingdom they started upgrading one forest at a time the while kingdom were now bustling with excitement.

A year later Shadowslash who was standing besides an ocean was suddenly called by Lisa and Allicia.

The beach is too far from Hope City so he had the people build a building for their marine force the people working were either lizardman or demi-human that is able to operate underwater efficiently.

Entering inside a magic circle Shadowslash immediately arrived inside Hope City he realised that the atmosphere is somewhat strange.

Shadowslash was now confused as to why the kingdom were now in the state of rapid development so why does the capital city of the kingdom have a gloomy atmosphere.

As he advanced to the guild he found people discussing about the Necromancer Association and the Orc Empire.

This confused him these two powers have gone silent for a long time and throughout the year they were still fighting against the Luminous Kingdom and the Elf Kingdom.

Arriving inside the guildmaster room he was shocked from whom he saw it was Helia Rose Von Rea and her family.

There is also her loyal knight standing besides her she was crying so does her daughters.

Shadowslash expression turned solemn judging from their reaction he had already formed a conjunction.

"Did the Luminous Empire fall?" As he asks this question the heavy atmosphere inside the guildmaster room increased.

Shadowslash just sighed as judging from their expression it seems that what he thought was true.

"But from what I heard the Luminous Kingdom has powerful naval power how could they fall so easily?"

Suddenly one of the girls inside the room spoke her eyes were still red in color as she was still crying but she braced herself and explained.

"Yes that is true but the Orc King, Orc Emperor and the Necromancer King have worked together and caused the kingdom to its downfall"

Shadowslash scrunched his eyebrows and spoke "If that is true then the Luminous Kingdom should have seek reinforcement from other territory why didn't they?"

"Actually we did but the Necromancer King have called reinforcement of his own they were high level undeads from the Undead World"

Shadowslash now have a look of realisation with such power the two forces would be able to conquer the Luminous Kingdom.

"Why haven't I been informed of this if your kingdom have asked for reinforcement they should have asked for my help considering that I and the Luminous Kingdom have fought together during the invasion war"

Shadowslash and the Luminous Kingdom have a deep sense of gratitude towards one another most of the humans that have fought during the war came from that very kingdom.

The girl cried some more before continue explaining "Because the distance between the Thousand Race Kingdom and the Luminous Kingdom is too far"

"The Orc Empire have also destroyed the ancient teleportation device that could teleport us"

"We only managed to arrive here via boat and it took us months before arriving here we kept mourning of the lost of our family and homeland during our travel"

Shadowslash was shocked it seems that the Orc Empire and the Necromancer Association have thought things through without him in the picture they would be able to wage war with all they got.

He then asks "Since the Luminous Kingdom have fallen the situation in the Elf Kingdom might not be too different"

Hearing this everyone became gloomy once again.

Shadowslash then continue "But fret not you all are in my kingdom now considering our military strength even if the Orc Empire and the Necromancer Association works together they wouldn't be able to defeat us"

Sensing the confident aura that Shadowslash was emitting everyone mood lift up if it was someone else that have said this they would just laugh it off or think of him as a liar.

But Shadowslash hold the reputation of the strongest being in this continent even the two powers destroyed an ancient teleportation array so that the Luminous Kingdom wouldn't be able to request backup from him.

With just him alone he would able to match up a power of a million of their soldiers he is a killing machine that is born to wage war.

Hearing about the two forces destroying the Luminous Kingdom Shadowslash realised that he might not be able to travel to other continent without concern.

He then swore that he would destroy the power before he leave for other continent.

He then left the guildmaster room before leaving he told old man Diamond to try and find accommodation for Helia and the others to live.

Returning back to Safehaven Paradise Shadowslash immediately went to Emi and told her to gather everyone.

As everyone started to arrive they saw Shadowslash standing there in a solemn manner.

Finally when everyone arrived at last Shadowslash started speaking "I have gathered everyone here so that I could share some devastating news"

Everyone became silent as they look at him with questioning look.

"The Luminous Kingdom have fallen and judging from this situation the kingdom of elves would have fallen too"

Everyone was shocked especially Gulli because the very reason why he managed to join Shadowslash's group is because he was chasing after Helia and her group.

And during the war against his own kind and the chaos beasts he had fought with some of the fighters from Luminous Kingdom.

The fact that both Luminous Kingdom and the Elf Kingdom have fallen sadden everyone some of the elves have relatives on the Elf Kingdom.

"All of you should have already known that we are preparing for a voyage towards another continent but considering the threat of the Necromancer Association and the Orc Empire"

"I have decided to wage war against these two power and eliminating these two threats so that we could travel towards other continent with peace on our mind"

"Now everyone I have gathered you here to tell you WE ARE GOING TO WAR!!!!"

Everyone became silent before they shouted in unison their roars, shrieks and shouts were full of passion and excitement.

With their pent up frustration coupled with the fact they would be avenging their fallen comrades or relatives everyone started chanting "War! War! War!"

"Clwyd gather everyone of your group we would need them since we are traveling towards the Luminous Kingdom via water"

Suddenly Blacky arrived in front of him and spoke "My lord the numbers of demons that we would be able to deploy have now reached more than a ten thousand with most of them are Silver Rank demonic beasts"

Shadowslash was surprised he then smiled and nodded with these numbers they needed more ships.

Blacky was in his human form unlike Red though he was masked with a cape draping over his body his presence is incredibly faint.

He doesn't have a horn but his blood red eyes could be clearly seen.

After being promoted by him Blacky have become more human like and he was now a perfect assassin for the kingdom.

----------------

Unlike Red and the others who spend most of their time increasing the tiers of their Mana and elemental energy Blacky spends most of his time training assassin skills or assassination technique that humans made.

It's because all he had is his demon skills and abilities without techniques so throughout this year he trained in a craze manner.

He had even go out tried his technique for real by assassinating some of the Necromancer Association spies inside the city.

With the help of old man Diamond, Emi and the other individual who had both influence and power inside the kingdom the Dark Haze organization have been built with ease.

With Alicia, Lisa, Red and Blacky as the heads of the organization they managed to uncover nearly all the spies inside the kingdom but some spies were sleeper spies so they did not managed to uncover all the spies.

Any spies that were found out would be monitored and if there is evidence that tells that they are spies from the Necromancer Association then death would be their only end.

The three of them knew that they wouldn't be able to join the war since they would be busy guarding the kingdom but Shadowslash's following words stunned the three of them "The three of you quickly remind your subordinates to be cautious and monitor the spies tightly since the three of you are coming with us"
