Chapter 594 Swift Invasion
Before King Leon and the army marched from Jaagarmouth Stronghold, Anne and her team were already moving out and infiltrated near the Udrary's Galbury Fortress. She and her team are the ones that launch the new version of [Chain Bomb] at the Galbury Fortress.
Udrary may not belong to the four big nations in the region and didn't have any seventh-grade combatants. However, their forces are troublesome, especially their beast riders.
In fact, Udrary's forces have better power regarding mid-level combatants compared to Heart Kingdom. This is also why the Heart Kingdom could never fully invade this kingdom properly.
Unless King Leon moves down by himself, the Heart Kingdom will never be able to easily break the Galbury Fortress in a short time. Moreover, the Udrary kingdom has close ties with Nergal, which makes King Leon unable to move without risking getting invaded by Nergal.
Now, the situation has changed. With Jade watching over King Andvari and his force, King Leon could take this opportunity to raze down this kingdom and take revenge.
"Squad Leader Anne, we detect some survivors in the deep Fortress. According to the magic tools, all of them are low-grade level, possibly the caretaker or employee in the Fortress." reported Anne's adjutant.
"Good. Reported this to the Duke Victory and prepared to move out." replied Anne.
After reporting the result, Anne and his team suddenly feel an intense mana pressure on top of the Galbury Fortress.
"Soldiers!! Charge!! Leave no prisoner!!" roared King Leon loudly while pointing his sword forward.
*BOOOM* A moment later, Anne heard a loud explosion that shook the area. Looking through her magic tools, she finds King Leon blasting the Fortress in the middle and opening the path for everyone.
A moment later, a fiery dragon approaches King Leon from behind, followed by the marching army. King Leon gives the nod to Jacob before disappearing.
Jacob immediately took command and ordered the soldiers to keep moving without stopping. They didn't even occupy the ruined Fortress and kept charging forward. As they enter the Udrary's territory, Jacob and the Heart army find destruction left behind by their King.
Except for the civilian village in the rural area, King Leon destroyed every considerable force and opened the path for the army single-handedly. Unless Udrary sends a few sixth grade, King Leon will become an unstoppable force.
In a half day, King Leon managed to destroy almost half of Udrary's military force while moving to Heristar city, the capital city of Udrary. When the sun rose high into the sky, the news about this sudden invasion finally spread and reached King Artao, leader of the Udrary kingdom.
"You said what?!!" asked King Artao while still surrounded by naked women in his bedroom.
The nearby King's aide ignored the scene and repeated his sentence. The aide is already used to his King's lustful nature.
"W-We already lost half of our force from the Heart kingdom's invasion. It is estimated they will reach the capital city soon." replied the King's aide.
"W-What… How about Nergal?!! Aren't they supposed to fight them now?" asked King Artao in surprise.
"We also don't know, My Lord. From the information we got yesterday, the Heart Kingdom's army also marching through the Humnia Grassland." replied the King's aide.
"Fuck!! I know that bastard will stab me in the back someday." cursed King Artao in anger while moving out from his bed.
"Where is he now? How about our Dukes and generals?" asked King Artao. 𝓫ℯ𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒸𝓸𝓶
"According to the last report, King Leon is last seen in the Armven Plateau after destroying Wildtail Haven training ground. We already notified the Dukes about King Leon's advancement." reported the King's aide.
"Wildtail Haven?!! Fuck!! That's only a hundred kilometers from here. Tell all the Dukes to hold King Leon back, gather all the staff, and prepare the teleportation room now!!" ordered King Artao before putting his clothes in a hurry.
"Yes, my lord." replied the King's aide shortly.
However, the King's aide and the guard soldier nearby couldn't help but have a gloomy faces. They know their King is trying to escape rather than fighting back. At this moment, a person with similar features to King Artao enters the room.
"Father, I hear those Hearts dare to invade us? It's not true, right?" asked the person.
"It's true, Alefur. Now, gather your siblings and pack your things." remarked King Artao while gathering his things.
"We are leaving?!! Where? Aren't you going to fight back?!!" asked Prince Alefur in surprise.
"With what?! What makes you think you could stop King Leon?" retorted King Artao.
"K-King Leon!! W-What about the Nergal?!! Aren't they promising to help us if the Heart attacks us?" said Prince Alefur.
"Hmph!! Those Nergal couldn't save their own ass, much less us." spat King Artao before moving out towards his treasury.
Hearing this, Prince Alefur slumped on the ground trembling in fear. He still remembers the deadly pressure from King Leon that almost gives him a heart attack during his wedding with Princess Ellyn. Fortunately, he never met King Leon again after the death of Princess Ellyn.
Otherwise, he never knows how he will die at the hand of this ruthless King. Prince Alefur immediately moves wobbly in a hurry toward the teleportation room.
"I need to get out of here!! I must not get caught!!" muttered Prince Alefur in panic.
Suddenly, the whole Heristar capital city was enveloped with massive pressure from the sky. All the people are forced to kneel down by King Leon.
"Artao!! Come out!!" roared King Leon while bathed in blood.
"He is here!! He is here!!" said Prince Alefur in fear and panic.
"Fuck!! What are those Dukes doing? Useless!!" cursed King Artao before he suddenly heard a cracking sound.
*Crack* *Prang* The whole barrier covering the royal palace is destroyed like glass. King Artao knew his strong barrier was nothing in front of King Leon's might.
'This is the power of seventh grade!!' thought everyone.
*Swish* *BOOOM* A moment later, the royal palace was cut in half, with King Artao in the middle defending against King Leon's slash.
"There you are, Artao. Are you trying to run like a coward?" taunted King Leon while looking down at King Artao.
"Shut up!! You fool if you could take me down alone." said King Leon.
"Really?? What are you planning to do?" mocked King Leon while throwing a few heads in front of King Artao.
"T-These…" replied King Artao in surprise.
"Are you speechless meeting your dukes? Truthfully, I am quite surprised when I fight them. Even one of my dukes/duchess could beat all of them alone. They are too weak. Also, I am not alone." said King Leon with a crazed smile.
*GROOOARR* A loud roar is heard from far away as everyone finds a giant fiery dragon and a few groups of people on top of it.
"It seems His Majesty is going into a frenzy. Make sure to not let anyone escape and secure the perimeter." ordered Duke Jacob.
"Yes, sir." replied Anne and the other explosion squad.
Although Jacob is slower than King Leon, he can use Fire Wyrm to travel through the air. Furthermore, there is a whole Griffyn squad behind him.
Besides the Flash squad, Griffin Squad is one of the fastest in the heart kingdom. The Gryphon is a beast famous for their flying speed. If the Flash squad is famous for acceleration, Griffin Squad is renowned for its top speed.
As soon as Duke Jacob arrived above the Heristar capital city, the explosion squad jumped out all over the capital city perimeter. At the same time, they threw a few bombs toward all the city gates. *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
[Firecast - Firewall] Using the fire from the explosion, Duke victory snapped his finger and cast [Firewall] to block all the capital city's exits. Then, Duke Victory fights against the remaining soldiers while preventing anyone from escaping Heristar Capital City from the sky with the help of Griffin Squad.
*BOOO* A few minutes later, A loud thunderous warhorn was heard from far away. Soon, everyone sees some giant metallic ship moving quickly toward the Heristar capital city.
These metallic ships are upgraded Alkin that Angus and everyone used during their travel in the Endless battlefield dimension. The new modified Alkin is faster, sturdier, and equipped with various deathly weapons.
"Griffin squad go higher!!" ordered Duke Victory as soon as he heard the warhorn.
*BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* As soon as the Griffin squad goes higher, all the Alkin shoot something and bombard the whole capital city.
"Damn, those weapons are really crazy, especially those bombs. I must ask uncle Jacob later." commented Gilford, Jade's third son, while on top of Alkin.
"Master Gil, you should go back inside now." replied one of the generals besides Gilford.
"Nonsense. This is a good time to observe my babies. Besides, I could take care of myself." said Gilford as he played with a cube in his hand.
"Haa… Then, please don't leave Alkin until everything is over." replied the general.
"Sure.. Sure… Have fun." replied Gilford playfully.
The general knows Gilford is not an ordinary researcher. With Gilford's battle golems and a colossus in his hand, he could easily destroy the whole Heristar Capital city alone.
