Chapter 849: Alliance
TL: I usually use shubaow for the raws but I cant seem to access it anymore, so I used a different site Also *Coughs* I actually uploaded chapters 845 to 848 yesterday, but NU didnt seem to have updated automatically so.
The Kingdom of Norma, Capital of Kings!
The Capital of Kings was a magnificent and majestic city situated on a vast plain. It lacked natural defenses that could be used for fortification, yet in over a thousand years of Normas existence, the city had never been conquered by any enemy.
This was because no natural stronghold could be as reliable as a group of great warriors.
The Iron Horse Knights, Thousand Blades Knights, Thunder Knights Order, and Golden Leaf Knights Order stood guard over the Capital of Kings. No matter how formidable the enemy, they had never breached the walls protected by these four Knight orders.
In the palace of the Capital of Kings, the Heroic King of Norma sat side by side with the Pope of the Church of Light. Both wore grave expressions on their faces.
The Pope spoke in a low voice, That man is conquering the desert.
The Heroic King nodded, He has finally transformed from a recluse who lived peacefully in Westwind City to an ambitious figure. My spies have reported that he intends to support Motras family of the Kali oasis, helping Motra Kali ascend to the throne as the new Pharaoh.
The Pope asked, What do you think we should do now?
The Heroic King sighed, This mans sudden actions caught me off guard. I had already supported a nobleman from the northern desert as my puppet, providing him with funds and support to claim the throne. Once he succeeded in usurping power, the Desert Kingdom would have become mine. But I didnt expect this mans response to be so swift. Now the nobleman I supported will face a formidable opponent.
The Popes expression turned sour, This man truly disgusts me. When we sent our armies to aid Mondra in stabilizing the situation, he opened a Heavens Gate, releasing fallen angels that defeated our angel army. As a result, our best opportunity to control the Kingdom of Gran slipped away. And now, he is interfering with the Desert Kingdom.
At this moment, Robb lazily followed the army and arrived in the northeastern part of the Desert Kingdom.
Out of the five noble families that instigated the rebellion, three had already been subdued. The leaders of the three rebel forces now obediently followed Motra, though there was still a hint of defiance in their eyes. However, fear of Robb dominated their emotions. When faced with a strong fist, one had no choice but to submit.
In reality, Robb hadnt done much along the way. In the first battle, Motra, Suofa, and Elsie led the Westwind warriors to help the Kali family deal with the first rebel leader. Then, the Kali family and the rebel leader joined forces to handle the second rebel leader, making the task even easier. By the time they faced the third rebel leader, it was already a matter of overwhelming numbers.
Now, with the Kali familys army leading the forces of the three rebel leaders, they have become a formidable and terrifying force. All the small oases they pass through surrender without a fight, not daring to oppose them.
Therefore, Robb didnt need to take action at all. His purpose in coming along this time was mainly to observe the customs and culture of the Desert Kingdom, treating it as a journey of sorts.
We only need to deal with two more rebel forces, and then we can unify the Desert Kingdom.
Motras finger traced across the vast map of the Desert Kingdom, saying, One of these noble families is in the Time Cave, and the other is in the northern Tomb of Kings
The three rebel leaders nodded beside him, The Time Cave should be easy to handle. They are not strong, so if our combined forces attack, they will be on their knees in no time. However, dealing with the family in the northern Tomb of Kings wont be so simple.
Robb leaned in from the side, Oh? What makes them difficult to deal with?
The rebel leaders explained, The Tomb of Kings is located at the northern edge of the desert, in the barren zone close to the Knights Kingdom of Norma. There have always been rumors that this family had the support of the Kingdom of Norma. The previous Pharaoh had attempted to deal with them several times, but if the rumors are true, Kingdom of Norma wont sit back and watch us eliminate this family. They will definitely intervene.
