Chapter 120: Peace

The Holy land of Amarantha, the very center and currently the strongest kingdom of all humanity. In front of the white towering castle was a massive army consisting of tens of thousands of warriors standing with such valiant in their stance. With their foreheads high up while facing the great castle in front of them. Preparing for an incoming glorious expedition.

Inside the throne room, 3 people were having a conversation, Commander Liam was kneeling in front of the throne where King Albern Amarantha was sitting.nove(l)bi(n.)com

King Albern leaned toward Commander Liam's direction and slowly nodded. "A meruem."

"Yes, it is hard to believe, but there are a considerable number of witnesses. Some of them also said that they saw it with their own eyes. Along with its distinguished crystallized horns, they said that it also had black wings and a pair of red glowing eyes... which only implied that it was an awakened one... all this time, the Shadow Fairy was hiding that monster from the awareness of everyone and now finally decided to reveal it to us."

A subtle smile emerged from King Albern's elegant face. "I will admit, the same failure who caused the end of the kingdom of Milana's glory didn't die in vain. That failed attack gave us a proper understanding of what kind of danger we are going to face to attain our goal." He laughed. "You have my praise, Commander Einar. Unfortunately, you can no longer hear my genuine recognition."

Commander Liam raised his head. "Your Majesty, should we send our army to exterminate the great threat that suddenly emerged from that town?"

King Albern's smile became wider. "Why should we?"

Commander Liam paused for a second while staring at King Albern with confusion in his eyes. "Your Majesty?"

"I understand, Your Majesty." Commander Liam stood up and put his hand on his armored chest.

"For now, let's direct our priority to what seems a more feasible task." King Albern's eyes darted to the person standing beside the throne just silently listening to their conversation. A puzzling smile emerged on King Albern's face. "It's time to make your move... Hero, Karsus."

Upon hearing King Albern's order, the person who was wearing white full body armor moved. His face could not be seen due to the white helmet with metallic wings he was wearing. The sound of his metallic set of armor resonated throughout the silent room as he valiantly walked forward. His set of armor was shining due to the rays coming from sunlight passing through the windows of the throne room.

His glorious image stood right in front of Commander Liam, who instantly responded with a wide smile on his face.

"Let's go, Commander." He said with such a commanding but at the same time soothing voice.

Without a delay, Commander Liam bowed his head. "Right away, Hero."

The hero, Karsus walked past him and walked towards the entrance of the room. On his way to his expedition that was about to begin. Behind him was Commander Liam, following his every step.

King Albern followed them with his eyes. A gentle smile emerged on his elegant face. "The only difference between Einar and Karsus is, unlike his late father, Commander Einar was fighting for glory... nothing else. But Karsus was molded to achieve what the late Hero Ragnar wanted to achieve. Just like the greatest hero of humanity, Ragnar Aegle, Karsus's only reason to fight is to attain peace in this chaotic world. Not for glory and power or even greed... but for a peaceful future."
