'Foolish, greedy King I never said that I was going to become your alley. I am only joining your hands to gain my footing on the land. Once I deal with the Istarin Kingdom, it won't be long before I snatch your Kingdom as well.' No one knew what lay behind that gentle smile on his face.

"King Ethan, have you ever thought of taking over the Nyland Kingdom?" These words from King Lewis froze the smile that King Ethan had on his face. King Ethan stopped smiling while trying to find what Lewis was thinking.

"I will be straight. The reason I want to form an alliance with you is that I want the Istarin Kingdom. I want my revenge from the Istarin Kingdom for killing my men. I want to bring justice to my people. Of course, I plan to return you the territories that the Istarin kingdom has forcefully taken from you." Lewis stopped speaking and looked outside the carriage. Lewis added the last part to keep King Ethan satisfied and also listen to what he was going to say next.

"As you have said, if that idiot becomes the successor of the Nyland Kingdom, it won't be very difficult for us to take over the Nyland Kingdom."

King Ethan looked at Lewis in shock. "Your majesty, no offense, but a 4th-order is protecting the Nyland Kingdom." Ethan tried to remind Lewis that he cannot against a 4th-order.

Lewis smiled and took a sip of red wine that was served by the maid after they entered the carriage. "King Ethan, I think you're underestimating the power of deep Sea Palace. Since I will be taking the Istarin Kingdom, I will compensate you by helping you take over the Nyland Kingdom. That idiot Arthur cannot defend the throne when I personally kill the 4th-order powerhouse that is protecting their Kingdom."

"King Lewis.....?" King Ethan might be greedy and angry, but he wasn't stupid. He could not understand why the deep Sea palace wanted to allow the Nepoca Kingdom to take over the Nyland Kingdom. Doing that will surround the Istarin Kingdom which will become a territory of the Deep Sea palace from two sides by the Nepoca Kingdom. Ethan was sure that no King would want that to happen.

Lewis smiled as if he understood what King Ethan was thinking. "If Sir Ethan is worried that I am going to attack your Kingdom, then his Majesty is being worried for no reason. We the mermaid race of the Deep sea palace will never betray our friends. My interest only lies in the Istarin Kingdom and the Silver Meadow Grove. If I wanted the Nepoca Kingdom, then I would have attacked your Kingdom a long time ago."

King Ethan realized what King Lewis just said right now was true. If King Lewis himself is strong enough to kill a 4th-order powerhouse, then just how powerful the Deep Sea palace will be? Just king Lewis himself could have taken over the entire Nepoca Kingdom but he did not do it.

The way King Ethan looked at Lewis changed. King Lewis also felt the change and inwardly chuckled knowing that his plan had worked.

"I can only thank His Highness."

'Hmph! As long as I have the backing of those people, even you can't do anything to me.' Both Kings had different plans and thoughts in their minds. One thing was sure from this upcoming war, the hidden party is going to benefit the most.

While King Ethan of the Nepoca Kingdom and the King Lewis of Deep Sea Palace was having a meeting that would benefit both of them in this war, The dragon King was going to do something that was going to shake the whole Eastern region of the continent.

"The Paladin Dynasty."

Right now the Dragon Monarch was 1000 meters above the capital city of the Paladin Dynasty. The Paladin Dynasty was one of the 13 kingdoms that had planned to attack the Istarin Kingdom. The Paladin Kingdom was located north of the Thera Kingdom.

"The name Paladin came when 12 Paladins joined together to form this Dynasty. It is said that the Paladin of this Dynasty was way stronger than regular soldiers. The only thing that this Dynasty lacked was the money to train more paladins. Currently, the Dynasty had over 1000 Paladins. Each paladin was a Peak 1st-order cultivator.

"Today I am here to drown this Dynasty in blood." In the Nightmare that Aditya had seen, he remembered the faces of every King that stood behind King Ethan. Each time he thought of sparing the innocent and the civilians, the images of countless dead bodies from his nightmare flashed before his eyes.

Storm Manipulation!!!!

"Today the weather is perfect. Why don't we go out drinking tonight?"

"Sure I don't mind going with you as long as you're paying."

"Why? You have no money."

"You already should know the answer man. We barely get enough money to feed our families. Unlike you, my entire family is dependent on my earnings. Each month, all of my salaries are sent to my family. Sometimes I wish, I could become the of the Istarin or the Nyland Kingdom. I heard that the soldiers from both Kingdoms get high salaries each month along with benefits."

"I feel your pain. Compared to those big Kingdoms, our Kingdom is still underdeveloped in many ways. Becoming a soldier is probably the easiest and most popular job for men. if only the King changed his policies, then I would have started my own business instead of becoming a soldier."

"What would never happen? Do you even have any idea how much money the King receives each year from the corrupt nobles? The King knows that his nobles are doing illegal businesses but he does not care as long as a percentage of the money is coming to his pocket."

Life in the Paladin Dynasty was very hard. The same thing could be said happening in other surrounding Kingdoms and Dynasties. These small Kingdoms constantly waged war against each other mainly to keep the population in check so that these kingdoms never run out of food supplies and never had to buy food from other Kingdoms. The Paladin Dynasty's King was just like the other Kings who now had joined to attack the Istarin Kingdom in hope of getting a piece of that large chunk of wealth that the Istarin Kingdom has.

The territories of these small kingdoms regularly keep on changing. Today the Paladin Kingdom extends its borders. A week later, it wouldn't be surprising if the Paladin Kingdom loses its territories. This part of the region was always at war. As a result these 13 Kingdoms never got the chance or the money to develop their kingdoms.

Some of the Kings did want to develop their territories knowing the benefits of having an advanced Kingdom. Even if one King did not want a war, the neighboring Kingdoms would not stop attacking them. This kept the flames of war going for many decades.

It wouldn't be wrong to call these 13 Kingdoms chaotic lands. The land of war. Because of the never-ending looking wars and conflicts between these small kingdoms, the 13 kingdoms became a place where criminals from big Kingdoms like the Istarin or the Nyland, or the Nepoca Kingdom fled. Even some of the Kings supported the criminal activities for their personal gain.

Today was just like every other day. The people of the Paladin Dynasty were working hard. It had become mandatory for normal people to also pay a small number of their earnings if they wanted to survive. The people that refused to pay money to the gangs were captured and sold off as slaves.

"Hey! You should look at the sky. It seems a storm is going to come." The sky of the Paladin Dynasty started getting covered with black clouds containing red lightning. Strong winds from the east were blowing over the Dynasty.

At this moment no one had any idea that their Paladin Dynasty was under attack. In a few minutes, the dark clouds containing red lightning took over the sky. The sunlight was blocked. The blue azure sky disappeared. Now the entire sky was filled with red lightning and dark clouds. Strong eastern winds from the sea were making things even worse.

"Your Majesty" One of the personal and most trusted butlers of the Paladin Dynasty king opened the door to the King's bedroom without the King's permission.

Bang!

"Kairo, why are you bothering me during my private times? You better have a good reason for coming in otherwise today I am going to personally kill you." The butler looked at the naked woman who was covering herself with a white blanket. The butler bowed his head to the King.

"I apologize for interrupting you but your Majesty you must see this." Seeing this butler this serious, the King felt something was wrong.

The fat king who was only wearing pink shorts walked to the balcony with his butler. "I don't see anything wrong here." The King looked here and there and found nothing was wrong. His Kingdom was standing, the people were working, his money was coming, and not only that he was having his best time with his general's wife. Nothing was wrong.

"Your Majesty, please look up." The butler's face already had turned pale as if he had seen the God of death. His entire body was trembling. It was taking his all to just say these words.

"Do you think there is a dragon in the sky?" The king mocked his butler seeing him looking so shaken up.

When the king raised his head to look up, his fat legs become weak. He felt as if his entire body had lost the strength to keep standing.

"What...when did we offend the Gods?" If not his butler had supported his back, the fat king would have fallen down. Right now both he and his butler was looking at the sky with a terrified look.

"I think the Gods are punishing us." The butler replied.

Both refused to even think of the possibility of someone controlling what they were seeing. This has to be the wrath of heaven. To their logic, even the strongest cultivator in the world cannot do something like this.

At this moment it was not just the King, the soldiers, the proud paladins, slaves, maids, servants, nobles, criminals, thugs, gangsters, ordinary peoples, merchants, adventurers....no where who it was they all looked pale and completely frightened.

The Dragon Monarch stood 1000 meters above the sky. As the dragon Monarch raised his right hand to command his attack to descend and destroy.

"Feel Pain."
