True King's Ecstasy

The archers of the kingdom kept attacking but only a few of their arrows were able to reach the wall.

One or two got injured by arrows but, most of them were safe from their arrows.

"Mages, come forward," One of the commanders under Mason ordered the second wave of attack using magic.

Most of them were C or B rank mages but still, their attacks were more effective than archers. The most effective element was highly offensive Fire.

Mages weren't easy to find so there were only a couple of dozens so it was rather easy for the city to defend against their attacks.

The city wall got somewhat damaged by their attacks but, it wasn't enough to break it to open an entry for the close-range army.

They had no siege weapons or anything to use against the wall since most of their quality army got dispatched to the war against the empire.

Ivan was feeling a little frustrated looking at this,

"Duke, can we attack now? I promise I can create an opening for your soldiers but you will have to pay to my men," Ivan didn't fear because Duke wasn't a threat to him in any way.

"Tch~ You know we can't pay you big money right now, will you do it still?" Mason wasn't the type to get angry because of his arrogance.

"Of course, you can pay it later, we're not going to die any sooner," Ivan was almost sarcastic seeing how weak their remaining troops are.

Ivan left the hit of Duke Mason and left the battlefield with high expectations. He called a few high levelled adventurers to support him because he didn't want the support of the kingdom soldiers.

They saw mages attacking with their puny spells which were not strong enough to break a wall. Ivan quickly gave the letter that he had to the commander under Mason.

He felt dissatisfied to hand over the job to the adventurers for money but still, he had no choice because it was the duke's order.

"Wise choice, now ask your mages to get back, you're going to see a real firework now," Ivan warned them.

The commander quickly ordered his troops to retreat.

"Norman, we will see if what you said is true," He muttered while giving order to the blazing sun party to attack the wall.

Velian was overlooking the battlefield while healing the injured people with his medicine but, he didn't expect their troops to be this weak. They couldn't even break the wall of the city.

"Veli, there are few new faces, What should we do? They look like adventurers," Delvi asked him.

Velian quickly went to the wall to look at them and he couldn't recognise them but they had the power to rival, Delvi and Remi.

"Pretty high-ranked adventurers, the kingdom must have paid quite an amount to buy them,"

"If we kill adventurers, it might garnish our name, so we might as well talk with them," Velian thought but before he could act, he heard a loud noise of something exploding near the wall.

"Looks like talking is out of the question now," Velian said looking at Delvi.

Most of the soldiers got scared by that loud explosion inside the city but, it took them only a few minutes to calm down.

Another explosion came after a few minutes and it was bigger than the last one which caused the city wall to break.

Delvi was annoyed by the adventurers attacking them.

"Brother, should we finish them off?" Delvi asked looking at the four figures which looked insanely strong.

"look like they won't attack us, adventurers must have been hired to break the wall, but I will confront them, you guys can deal with the army," Velian said to which Delvi agreed because she knew how powerful her brother was.

Both of them went on their separate ways to deal with the relevant parties.

Mason joined the battle after seeing the wall gets destroyed. He leads the cavalry to the inside but they couldn't get inside because they were pushed back by the Velian's soldiers.

Delvi and Remi were in front of them leading the troops while collecting a few kills. The same can be said for the Rapidclaw kingdom. Mason and Norman and their commanders were rather good at war so they were able to rack up some kills.

The two armies crashed signalling the start of the battle. Since archers were firing at Rapidclaw kingdom soldiers from the remaining walls, there were accumulating a lot of casualties.

Mages tried to attack them but they were rather slow in their close-range battles, they had no chance to chant their spells.

Eventually, both sides took heavy damage, most of them were injured but there were a lot of deaths too. The deaths on the side of the kingdom were high because of archers.

Delvi and Remi encountered the Mason who was rather angry with the situation of war,

"Why are you rebelling? Where's Davin Keller, I want to talk to him," Mason tried to talk to them.

"Surrender or we will kill all of your armies," Delvi wasn't the type to back down so she gave her own version of the threat.

"Duke, she is the sister of the main rebel behind this, if we take her prisoner, he might agree to our condition," Norman was the one to talk. He didn't see the power of Delvi so he didn't know about her rank.

Delvi was also interested in the strength of a duke of the kingdom so, she decided to fight with while, Remi decided to fight with Norman.

Other commanders were going to fight Juno and her troops. They were confused for a minute by the number of beastkin and they clearly didn't look like slaves.

"Why are there so many beastkins here? Is this an attack from the beast kingdom?" the commanders were talking among themselves.

Mason didn't understand it either but he wasn't in a state to ignore the girl in front of him.

"Why are you people doing all this?" Mason questioned the girl in front of him but he got no answer.

Delvi was thinking about something else because she felt something strange inside her body. It wasn't that she is feeling sick or anything but it felt like something inside her was trying to come out.
