Dragon Monarch System-39 Chapter 39

4th day since the starting of the War,

The storm finally ended on the 3rd night. As the sky cleared up and the ray of sunlight fell on the wet mountains, the soldiers lazily got up and went out to guard the fortress. These 3 days, after winning that big battle, the soldiers were told to stay inside the fortress. Although it was a little difficult to stay in the fortress with 13,000 War prisoners, all the soldiers enjoyed their time.

Everyone in the fortress was given Magical beast meat for meals. The meat of the magical beast was very expensive and was very helpful for cultivators. The rich mana contained in the meat of the Magical beast benefitted some soldiers. A few soldiers even reached the peak of 1st order.

“Man, usually I hate storms but this time I really wished for the storm to continue for another week.” One of the soldiers said lazily while walking out of the fortress.

“Don’t complain man. If the storm really had continued for another week, then we would have run out of food stock. At that time, we would have no choice but to starve.” Another soldier who was walking beside the first soldier replied.

“I guess, you’re right. Still, I can’t wait for this war to end. I have a fiancé back home waiting for my return. I can’t wait to marry her and settle down.”

“Are you planning on retiring?” Another soldier asked in surprise. Being a soldier was like having a government job. Each soldier would be paid in gold. And one gold is more than enough to feed a small family for 2 months.

“No, I am not retiring. I am going to send a letter of request to lord Zayne to ask him if my post can be changed.” Soldiers had different posts.

“I plan on becoming a guard in the capital.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I heard the Capital is being reconstructed. I have a feeling that moving to the capital would give me and my family many benefits. Not only that, I want to take things a little easy and settle down in the capital after a few years of service.”

“Speaking of reconstruction work, I still haven’t seen His Majesty. The rumor has it that his Majesty had completely changed. Within 2 weeks he bought changes to the Kingdom. Because of his changes, my family now doesn’t have to worry about food prices.”.

As the soldiers were talking among themselves, Nathan returned with another piece of bad news.

“What happened, Nathan?”

“The enemy is on the march. This time they are marching with 35,000 troops with two 3rd-order commanders. In 4 to 5 hours, the enemy forces will be here.”

The atmosphere inside the fortress was heavy and very serious. Taking down one 3rd-order is difficult enough, but taking down two 3rd-order is impossible. Zayne and others couldn’t comprehend how they are going to take down two 3rd-orders.

“When this war started, I knew there would be a time when we will be facing 3rd-order general. But I wasn’t expecting the enemy to send two 3rd-orders at the same time.” Scott, the dark elf and the bow expert of Aditya’s military didn’t find any way of taking down two 3rd-orders.

“We still would have some chances if 8 of us had combined our powers. But against two 3rd-orders, even if an army of 30,000 were to attack them, two of them would slaughter everyone.”

“In this situation, we can only contact his Majesty.”

[Your majesty, the situation is….I know] Aditya interrupted Zayne with his words.

[Don’t worry, I will be there before the battle could start.] Hearing the words of Aditya, everyone felt relieved. They subconsciously relaxed their bodies. This was because of the trust that they had in their king.

5 hours passed very quickly,

Standing before the fortress, Zayne and others could see the enemy troops marching at them. The enemy troop was led by two beings who were riding two white horses. The general on the right was Darren and the general on the left was Dylan. The troops of the Zulux Dynasty were marching with confidence. In front of two Mid 3rd-order generals, the Istarin Kingdom was nothing.

“So he is the enemy commander.” Darren and the army stopped 1 km away and looked at the enemy commander Zayne in disdain. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

“Hmph! Pathetic! To think your right-hand man died in the hands of someone this weak.” Dylan said those words purposely to mock Darren. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

“Sir, should we ask the enemy forces to surrender?” Darren’s advisor suggested.

“Surrender? Even if the Istarin Kingdom wanted to surrender now, I will not stop until I covered this entire battlefield with the blood of their soldiers. This battle is about washing the humiliation with the enemy blood.”

“If you can dye this entire battlefield with the blood of my soldiers, then I would really think f**k this is an interesting world.” Darren’s face turned ugly hearing those words.

Everyone looked up to see 4 Wyverns flying from the clouds. Along with the appearance of the Wyverns, from the shadows, several men and women with horns on their foreheads came out.

“Majin race” The generals immediately recognized who these people were.

“Hahaha! Instead of looking at us, you all should be looking at your King.” Zayne and others were left shocked seeing their Majesty standing on a beginner 3rd-order Wyvern’s back and looking at Darren.

As the Wyverns slowly descended from the clouds, the 1st-order soldiers were able to clearly see the face of the person standing on the 10 meters giant Wyvern’s back.

“Its’ his Majesty.”

“It’s the Istarin King.”

Troops of both parties looked at the person with 2 meters of Crimson wings. The whole battlefield fell into silence. No one dared to speak anything.

While the Wyverns fell down, Aditya kept his eyes on Darren and Dylan. He wasn’t afraid of two Mid 3rd-orders. Aditya couldn’t stop his anger after hearing those arrogant words of the enemy commander.

After 5 minutes, Aditya landed on the ground, in front of Zayne and others while keeping his eyes on Darren.

“Good. I thought that King Aditya had fled to another Kingdom. You know, I was starting to regret not being able to kill you. But now that you’re here, I will you kill and end the Istarin Kingdom once and for all.” Darren’s voice was filled with pride and arrogance.

While Darren was trash talking, Dylan, the half-dwarf was thinking something else. ‘I never heard the Istarin King was a Dragon. Did the previous King Ahmed choose Aditya as his successor mainly because Aditya was a dragon?’

Other than a few people, no one in this continent knew Aditya’s real identity. King Ahmed also hid the fact that Aditya was a dragon from everyone.

Now, seeing two crimson dragon wings, it was not just the enemy but also Aditya’s troops were shocked.

‘I don’t from where he got these 4 Wyverns. But I can feel it. One of the Wyverns has beginner 3rd-order powers. Even a Peak 2nd-order Wyvern can give a tough fight to a beginner 3rd-order human. I can’t underestimate the powers of this Wyvern. I hope this idiot has realized this fact as well.’ Dylan looked at Darren wondering if he had seen the strength of the enemy.

‘How did his Majesty get 4 strong Wyverns to listen to his orders?’ Amber wondered while looking at the old man with a horn growing on his forehead. This old man was the leader of the Majin village.

“Enough talking let’s start this fight already.” The soldiers of Istarin Kingdom looked at Aditya in admiration for not being afraid to see a Mid-3rd-order on the battlefield. While the Zulux Dynasty soldiers thought Aditya was a fool and ignorant man. Why would a beginner 2nd-order try to fight a 3rd-order? This was no different than suicide.

Both Darren and Aditya looked into each other’s eyes and the next moment both of them disappeared from their place.

Swoosh!

“Charge!”

“Kill the Zulux forces”

“Kill the invaders”

The soldiers of both sides also started charging at each other. This second biggest battle of the Istarin Kingdom had just started.

Clang!

Both Darren and Aditya’s swords clashed and created sparks of fire. One wanted to kill to regain his respect while the other wanted to kill to defend his territory from invaders. In war, neither party is right nor wrong. Aditya was the villain in the enemy’s story while the enemy was the villain in his story.

“I can’t wait to rip your dragon head and show it to his Majesty.” Darren spoke with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

“I have no plans of dying this early.”

Clang!

Both of their swords clashed with each other, creating metal clanging sounds and sparks. While both parties warmed their bodies with light movement and sword clashes, Aditya realized the power gap between him and Darren was just too big.

‘I have to use my trump cards if I want to fight him on equal foot.’

Clang!

‘System put my remaining [58+] free stats points to my agility.’

As Darren and Aditya were clashing their attacks, testing the water before diving into it, he suddenly noticed the boost in Aditya’s speed that pushed him back for a second.

‘So he is getting serious.’

Boom!

For a moment everyone stopped fighting hearing the loud sound. Zayne and others could only pray for Aditya’s safety. The 3rd-order Wyvern was currently fighting 3rd-order half-dwarf general, Dylan.
