Chapter 768 Alliance with Ayden

Chapter 768 Alliance with Ayden

Upon hearing Esther's invitation, the king gave her permission to lead them towards the border Vicente was helping to fortify.",

Some members of the royal guard weren't too keen on going to such a dangerous place, but the king wasn't the person one could contradict in public. With Ayden having made up his mind, his group accompanied him alongside Vicente and Esther.

Vicente's group stayed behind, except for Lauren, who had been accompanying her brother ever since they met.

On the way out of the city, the king couldn't help but talk to Vicente.

"Young man, I sense that there are some Dark Path magicians in your group. Do you trust them?" Ayden looked at Vicente, but the young Fuller couldn't help but notice the king looking at Lauren as well.

"Certainly. Apart from my sister, Lauren, all the Dark Path magicians have signed agreements with me. So I entirely trusted them."

The king's curiosity was piqued as he saw Vicente pointing at Lauren. "Is she your sister? Why is she wearing restrictive items?"Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

"It's a long story. Lauren was kidnapped a long time ago by a sect of the Dark Path who brainwashed her and used her until recently as a human weapon. I rescued her, but I'm afraid what they did to her won't be easy to reverse."

"I'm sorry for you." Ayden said as his expression changed, sensing that the story of these powerful siblings was more tragic than it seemed on the surface.

"The group I brought to Trevora Kingdom, I had in mind to leave one or two of my Dark Path Paragons here to help you. I intend to reactivate a Cataclysm Order post in the state to offer options for the local population to awaken their powers." Vicente changed the subject, while their group could already see the fences and watchtowers he had created.

"Yes. Allying ourselves is the way to fight the monsters and vampires, but also to get rid of those who probably got us into the situation we're in now." Vicente said with a serious look on his face. "I don't want to fight fellow magicians, but we can't let those guilty of the calamity go free."

"I understand. In fact, I agree with you. But are you aware that some Dark Path magicians are also enemies? Some of them have betrayed the magical community and are working with the vampires." The king said seriously, pointing out to Vicente that these individuals also had to pay for their crimes.

"Of course. Except for my sister, I will punish all those who have committed atrocities against the magical community." Vicente said sincerely, clarifying that Lauren could not pay for any things she had done in the past.

The king understood Vicente's interests in protecting his own sister and admired him even more for seeing that he preferred to deal with the matter and make his position clear from the start of their relationship.

'This girl mustn't become a problem. With such a powerful brother, she doesn't have far to go.' Ayden thought to himself, not thinking it was bad that a person could get away with the things they had done.

"That's good enough for me." The king showed one of his hands to Vicente. "We can make an alliance agreement when we return to Stormhold."

Vicente smiled as he shook the king's dominant hand. "Certainly. For now, I'd like to introduce your group to the wonders of my armor and weapons, as well as how I'm building these fences."

In addition to the king's group, a battalion of men armed with armor, who were already waiting for Vicente and Esther in that area for the day's work, were nearby.

Vicente signaled for the men to move forward, while he moved the fences to make way for the group to move forward into the area not yet dominated.

Vicente ordered. "Today I'm going to let you act against the monsters while I build the fences. Show His Majesty what you can do."

The men cheered up, finally able to make the most of those powerful artifacts Vicente had made for them to use.
