All the Alkin stopped a few hundred meters from the Heristar capital city. Then, the giant metallic body ship slowly opened and became massive doors.
One on the front and two on each side. The army of Heart Kingdom poured out from the Alkin towards the Heristar Capital City. This army consists of the elite knights of the Heart Kingdom with the lowest power grade 4 knight.
"Charge!!" ordered all the generals in each Alkin.
Noticing the incoming army, the Udrary soldiers also move to fight back. Unlike the Heart Kingdom, which had its force scattered all over its territory, the Udrary kingdom only focused its best soldiers at a few locations. One of them is the Heristar capital city itself.
Still, the Udrary soldiers could not fight appropriately because of the blazing Firewall in all the main city entrances. Any people who passed through the Firewall were shot down by either Duke Victory, Griffin squad, or Explosion squad.
As a result, the Udrary couldn't fully use their specialty as the beast rider. On the other hand, the Heart's army is coming closer to all the city's main entrances. Suddenly, Duke Victory snapped his finger a few times and extinguished all the [Firewall].
Before the Udrary soldiers could get out of the city, they found the Heart's army already in front of them. In a few moments, cries and screams were heard everywhere inside the capital city.
While all this happens, King Leon makes a yawning gesture while looking at King Artao's haggard appearance. Knight Corpses could be found in his surroundings, along with the rubble of the ruined royal palace.
"*Yawn* Damn, if I knew you were so weak, I should have done this long ago. I didn't even use Blink or my sword." said King Leon with a regretful expression.
"Haa.. Haa… Fuck you, Leon!!" cursed King Artao with a ragged appearance.
"Yeah.. Yeah… You have already said that countless times. So, do you have any more tricks? Your whole family's life depends on you. Don't you care about them?!" said King Leon, looking to the side.
Not far from them, King Artao's whole family is bounded by a group of black-cloaked people. One of the black-cloaked groups even released a strong sixth-grade aura and deterred any of the Udrary knights in the surrounding area.
'Who the hell cares about those fucking imbeciles?!! If my stupid son properly takes care of this madman's daughter, all of this will not happen.' thought King Artao with anger.
"What's wrong with that face? Don't tell me you are trying to abandon your family. How heartless. Well, not that I expect much from you." said King Leon while shaking his head.
"Shut up!! I may not be able to beat you, Leon. But, you will also not get anything from Udrary easily." said King Artao.
"Hmm… It's fine. Actually, I didn't need anything from your kingdom besides a few things that I could get from your treasury. As for taking over Udrary, I never planned to do that in the first place." shrugged King Leon.
"Y-You… Monster!!" said King Artao.
*BAAM* King Leon punched King Artao's gut and sent him flying to the nearby rubble.
"Monster?!! I don't mind if the one that said that is the other or even my subordinate. But, you… How dare you call me a monster when you force my innocent daughter to suicide!! I already warned you before, Artao." retorted King Leon.
"I will beat you to death if you even hurt a single hair of her. Now, tell me who the monster is?! No. Even a real monster is better than a lustful piece of shit like you!!" added King Leon while beating King Artao.
King Leon deliberately targets the vital part of King Artao while trying to inflict as much pain as possible.
"Arrghh.. Stop! Stop! I am sorry!!" cried King Artao.
King Leon didn't stop beating King Artao until his face was utterly disfigured, with most of his bones broken. Despite this terrible injury, King Artao is still alive. This shows the tenacity of sixth-grade power.
Unfortunately, this trait became King Artao's source of his torture. After a while, King Artao becomes unresponsive and goes into a coma from his injury. Even after King Leon ripped his hand, King Artao was still not waking up and was no longer moving.
"Tch… Broken already. Well, it seems now it's time for your turn." said King Leon while glancing at Prince Alefur coldly.
"Hiii… No!!" cried Prince Alefur while pissing his pants.
While King Leon and his army invade Udrary Kingdom, Angus and the others rest at the Windshire Fort. After reaching the Windshire Fort, Angus finally gets some explanation about King Leon's moves on Udrary by Aunt Extalia.
Apparently, Jade's marching army is to keep King Andvari at bay and prevent him from making any moves. On the other hand, King Leon invades the Udrary Kingdom. Still, King Leon worries the Nergals will launch desperate attacks on them while he is away.
Therefore, he planned to put Duchess Amberblaze and her team on Windshire Fort as assurance. In fact, Angus and the others are forced to go to Nirvas to distract Nergal about their Udrary invasion plan.
No one would expect the Heart kingdom to launch an attack on Udrary when they seemed to be focusing on fighting the Nergal. In some way, Jade's marching troops are a diversion and intimidation tactic.
Seeing that they are not going to fight, Angus and the others decide to relax in the medium size swimming pool. Humnia Grassland is famous for its windy and dry air. Hence, Angus decided to create a medium size swimming pool with spells inside the fortress for them to chill and relax.
"Haa… This is great. The water is quite cool." said Angus while floating.
At this moment, he noticed Anna facing down and floating on the water while holding the fluffy ball in her arm.
*Blub* *Blub* *Blub* "Puahh… Anna almost dying." said Anna while taking a deep breath.
"Err… Anna, you can't breathe if your face is inside the water." said Angus while making Anna face up.
'Did she really can't breathe in the water?' thought Angus inwardly.
Angus knew some races and high-grade people could hold their breath for a long time without suffocation. In fact, all the sixth-grade people could hold their breath for hours. Since Anna is ridiculous physically, he thought Anna also could hold her breath.
However, Anna is too mischievous and likes to overreact, like when he hits her head. Despite not getting hurt, she will react like it pained her so much to ask for more meat.
'Well, at least she seems no longer sad about Mira. Still, that fluffy white ball is quite interesting.' thought Angus while a glance at the ball doll in Anna's arm.
'It is clear the ball is wet and dirt resistant. It is quite fluffy, like cotton, yet also quite sturdy. Otherwise, it will break during Anna's terrible sleep movement.' thought Angus.
*Splash* *Splash* *Splash* The water splashes around as Jayna reaches their side by swimming.
"Huft… This is really refreshing. It's been a while since I could swim properly." said Jayna after finishing her swimming.
"Hmm… This makes me curious. Didn't Phoenix hate water?" asked Angus.
"Yes. Phoenix hates water and swimming. But Fire Phoenix is not. In fact, she loves swimming." said Jayna.
"Err… Why? Aren't fire and water the opposite element?" asked Angus.
"Fire Phoenix's power is related to emotion. Water has the effect of calming emotions. It is a serene feeling and makes my mind clearer.
"For Fire Phoenix, swimming is a relaxation method. Though she seems don't like to just swim everywhere, " Jayna said while glancing at all the surrounding barriers.
Like during their vacation at Sunset city beach, Angus makes a two-sided transparent barrier to prevent others from seeing Jayna in her swimming suit.
"Umm… Am I really okay to join here?" A voice was heard from nearby.
"Of course. The swimming pool is too large for just the three of us. Besides, you also need muscle therapy in the water from your previous injury." said Angus to the woman beside them.
This woman is none other than Brigida Nergal, the daughter of King Andvari Nergal. After becoming Angus and the others 'subordinates', Angus heals and fixes her wound.
Unfortunately, her injury is too severe. Combined with the rough interrogation process, almost all her muscles are damaged. Forget about wielding weapons. She couldn't even walk properly without someone's help for the first week after getting treated.
Now, she can move like normal but needs a lot of therapy before returning to her previous condition.
Angus could use some healing spells to accelerate her healing process. Still, it has the side effect of damaging her future. Since Angus decides to use Brigida, he wants to maximize the girl's full potential.
"F-Fine. So, what do I need to do?" asked Brigida while blushing from wearing a revealing swimsuit.
"Just walk around the swimming area while submerging your body in the water. No swimming, only walking, " Angus leisurely ignored the embarrassed girl.
"O-Okay." replied Brigida before walking slowly with a dejected tone.
After Brigida walked quite far from them, "Angus, did you not find Brigida pretty?" asked Jayna.
"Nope." replied Angus directly.
"You are lying, right?" asked Jayna.
