Chapter 1504 1344: Incoming War

Under such 'loose' terms, the vigorous recruitment work began instantly. The Fortress was much livelier than before, with the massive migration from the people of nearby regions. Now that people had heard of the overlord's recruitment to his private army, there were a whole lot of people who signed up and most of them passed the interview. This was why Alex promoted a group of experienced mercenaries from his men, he could easily pick out those who were loyal and respectful toward him to manage and train the newcomers. Among the mercenaries, many of them were kicked out of the military and were extremely familiar with the military style. Besides, they were skilled at their jobs, which resolved a huge trouble for Alex. The mercenaries welcomed this decision with open arms. The reason why they had joined his group earlier was because they hoped to be valued highly by Alex to eventually become his henchmen. And now, not only did they join Alex's army, but they also received various titles such as captains or instructors.

With the prestigious titles, statuses, and wealth, the other mercenaries were naturally envious. They also wished to perform outstandingly to capture Alex's attention and eventually become his henchmen. Moreover, many mercenaries had also joined the guild and hoped to develop themselves, which started private groups in the orbit of a virtuous cycle. Within a few days, the strength of Alex's private soldiers had grown to about 2,000 men. Thereafter, Madeline had also temporarily stopped the recruitment works in order to keep the stability. novElbIn

The management of all of this put pressure on Alex who was sitting behind a sandalwood desk, because it was his private quarter, Silveria could come out, and not even Bahamut's clone could spy on them. Thanks to the sisters' powerful concealing technique, there are some things he hides from the enemy.

''What are you thinking about?" Silveria asked as she sat from across him.

Alex took a deep breath before saying what he had on his mind.

''I feel like this Survival Game, this game is more complex, almost as if trying to make me lose myself playing various roles.''

''Indeed! I do feel the same thing but what are worried about? You just have to not succumb. Never become too immersed, stay true to yourself until you achieve your goals.''

''You are Sil, thanks for telling me this. I can see clearly now.'' Alex was grateful for Silveria's advice.

''It is my duty to help my man." Silveria declared but was looking down, too shy after making that declaration.

Alex was amused, the two chatted happily before Alex started reading his subordinate's intelligence reports.

From the report.

These rumors had left the Kingsley's Kingdom people in a state of unrest. Moreover, there was also a rumor that mentioned that the Kingsley's Parliament had lost every scrap of reputation, the Prime minister tried to snatch its authority back, and the Dali Kingdom had the intention of attacking the Kingsley's Kingdom.

One must says, that such opinions were popular among the people and based on the intelligence report, many of the Kingsley's Kingdom people agreed with this view too.

At this moment, Kingsley's Parliament which had been maintaining silence had some activities.

They formally protested to the Dali Kingdom through diplomatic channels, requesting them to hand over the murderers who killed their border guards!

The Dali Kingdom definitely wouldn't regard their words highly. They expressed that it was merely an accident and there was no evidence that proved that it was the Dali Kingdom's regular army that attacked the guards. They believed that it was the doing of some fleeing unrelated Creatures, sent their condolences for the mishap of the guards, and announced that they would investigate the case. But the Kingsley's Kingdom actually asked for them to hand out the murderers... That was impossible because the murderers didn't exist, so how were they able to hand them over?

The Kingsley's Parliament was oddly stubborn on this matter.

They provided a massive number of evidence and witnesses to prove that it was the Dali Kingdom's regular army that had attacked and once again issued unyielding arguments that requested the Dali Kingdom to provide an explanation.

In the end, the Dali Kingdom was no longer interested in playing games with the Kingsley's Parliament. They expressed that there must have been some misunderstandings in the situation and they could communicate with the Prime minister... It went to show that the Dali Kingdom knew the situation happening in the Kingsley's Kingdom inside out and they wouldn't mind messing with the Kingsley's Parliament.

But the situation took a turn thereafter.

The Kingsley's Parliament was still unwilling to forgive the Dali Kingdom. They definitely wouldn't allow the Dali Kingdom to communicate with the Prime minister. As a result, Kingsley's Parliament once again requested for the Dali Kingdom to apologize and compensate them for their losses.

But this time, Kingsley's Parliament wasn't only speaking. They had mobilized several of their troops to the rumored border region where their guards were ambushed and announced to the public that this was the military exercise of the new year. However, everyone knew what they were up to.

Alex understood from the intelligence that war was inevitable.
