Chapter 173 - Mission Complete

…

"Uh, okay then. I'm not going to complain about getting any help from a force like yours. Thank you," Julius replied to Vivi who had just offered him her assistance in the war he would be going into.

"So when and where is the war going to take place?" Vivi asked to which Julius just looked at her with a blank expression as he looked to her for an answer.

…

"So you didn't think of a date when you declared war upon the 9 greatest kingdoms? Well… there is 8 now to be exact," Vivi asked Julius.

"Huh? What do you mean 8? I mean I beat up Henry but I didn't kill him," said Julius as he tried to understand what Vivi meant.

"Oh, you mean Mary right? So I assume you've taken care of her?" Julius asked to which Vivi nodded in agreement.

"Yes I did. The ruler of the bident kingdom, Queen Mary is no longer a problem," said Vivi.

"Great, then I assume that I can depend you to get your 10 divisions prepared for the war. I'll be counting on you," said Julius before getting on his ruby dragon and taking his leave as he had other plans.

"I was thinking about reviving the previous kings and queens of the past great kingdoms but now that I have the meditation army along with an army of my own at my side, it would just be overkill," Julius thought to himself while flying towards the 10th continent as he would finally need to speak to his own army after being away for so long.

"Although I do kinda feel bad about Jun. I never wanted to become enemies with him. However it's too late now. I have to fully commit to my promises. I cannot turn back now," said Julius as he continued to fly towards the 10th kingdom.

"I'm still concerned though. Can I really trust Vivi? I mean I trusted Liz with all my heart and in the end she betrayed me. What reason do I have to trust Vivi? After all I only met her not so long ago. If someone who I knew for all my life could betray me, what would make someone I only met just a couple days ago loyal to me? Heck, why should I trust the people in the 10th continent. For all I know, they could be plotting a plan to ambush me and kill me," Julius said to himself as the emotional effects of Liz's betrayal began to take affect as he didn't know who he could trust anymore.

"Although I shouldn't worry too much about it. I should just have my guard up so that of anyone tries to backstab me, I can easily kill them at the drop of a dime," Julius thought to himself while continuing his journey.

After flying for so long in the air, Julius could start looking at the 10th continent which was nothing like the desert wasteland he remembered it to be.

Julius could now see a large portion of it was covered in green. Most of it was plain grass instead of a whole jungle as it would cause competing wildlife to appear of a large forest on that scale were to exist. As such short grass with a couple small forests along with some trees and bushes spread around everywhere was the perfect design of a continent Julius could as for.

Upon closer inspection, Julius could see the many new villages and smaller versions of kingdoms had started to appear everywhere as the population had a sudden boom. Even so, most of the villages and kingdoms were occupied by only a few people which caused Julius some concern as it didn't make sense as to how a few people each could build so many magnificent structures.

However that wouldn't be the end of the surprises Julius would see as he would soon meet a large kingdom which even dwarfed that of the kingdom which king Henry ruled over.

"What is going on here? There's no way the people of the 5 villages which were barely alive built all of this on their own. Even with the help of my 5 subjects, this is insane work," Julius admitted as he began to direct his ruby dragon to head towards the large castle in the middle of the large kingdom.

Inside of it, Julius could see a large number of people being hundreds of not thousands of times bigger than the total population of the 5 villages Julius brought back to live 4 years ago.

"I need to get some answers right now. There's no way that this was all possible in just 4 years. They had to have used some kind of illusion secret art to trick me into seeing this. I can't imagine them actually being able to create such complex buildings," Julius said to himself as he finally landed his ruby dragon near the front of the castle before stomping towards the castle entrance as he needed to ask whoever ruled that kingdom some questions.

"Who goes there?! Don't you know that only high ranking personal can enter this place? You're not authorized to enter the castle! Leave now or speak your final words!" said two guards which were dressed in silver armour and held spears which blocked the path to enter the castle.

"Huh? Move out of my way! Do you not know who I am? I am the owner of this entire continent, I have some questions to the person who placed this kingdom here," Julius said as the two guards who had something odd about them finally snapped and began to charge towards Julius only to have both their spears broken as if they were a stick them forced to kneel as Julius punched them in the chest to the point where they couldn't stand anymore and had to get on their knees to breathe.

"Now don't get in my way next time," said Julius as he prepared to open the doors of the castle only for them to be opened from the inside.

"Welcome back, king Julius," said the red haired Ian with a smile.
