BXBX NOVEL 135 Chapter 135
Sitting on the golden throne, Prince Arthur, the handsome man looked at the others with a small smile on his face. Right now his dream of becoming the King was going to be fulfilled. He had become the official king of the Nyland Kingdom. And with that, no one was going to stop him anymore.
'I already have asked them to take care of my other brothers. While I sit on the throne of Nyland King and get the crown of the King, my brothers are dying in the hands of those people.' Now one knew what was going on in King Arthur's head. No one had expected King Arthur to become the next king. Even if the people knew what King Arthur did to become the king, they can't do anything to him now.
'Though I kind of regret it, for my bright future, I had to kill my father.' Prince Arthur had poisoned his father to death. It was a strong type of poison bought from the main continent. The poison could even kill a Peak 5th-order. To make people believe that his father had a natural death, Arthur asked those people to place some powerful curses on his father.
If he had not placed those curses on the former Nyland King, the old man could have easily gone on to live for another 100 years. But Arthur simply did not want to wait that long. He got the opportunity. The death of his father not only gave him the throne but also removed the alliance that the Nyland Kingdom had with the Istarin Kingdom. With the death of the Nyland King, everyone is going to target the Istarin Kingdom.
'When the Nepoca and other allied kingdoms will attack the Istarin Kingdom, I will also send my troops from the west. I bet King Aditya wasn't going to expect this betrayal from the Nyland Kingdom.' Inwardly Arthur could only imagine the look on King Aditya's face when he learns that the Nyland Kingdom has betrayed them.
'I will also ask my men to get rid of the nobles that were previously supported by brothers. I cannot let those snakes live like that. I will kill them and their family.' Arthur previously had asked those nobles to switch sides and work for him but they refused and kept on supporting his brothers.
Arthur watched as the prime minister walked the stairs with the golden crown with a smile. This was his dream. How many times he had imagined himself getting crowned as the King of the Nyland Kingdom? How many sleepless nights he has spent trying to come up with a perfect plan to eliminate his brothers and become the king?
'Today I get to enjoy the result of my years of hard work.'
While remembering about the people who helped him behind the scenes, Arthur's eyes turned colder. 'Those people have dared to treat like slaves. The King of the Nyland Kingdom was treated like slaves by a bunch of nobodies. After I deal with those nobles, soon I will deal with The League of the Black Tomb.'
Arthur closed his eyes as his entire body trembled in emotions. He cannot describe how excited he felt today. On the path to becoming the king, he had to make some personal sacrifices. Like the death of his father and his brothers. All this was worth it, as he finally had managed to accomplish his dream.
Mark Vega, the former Nyland King passed away last night. Prince Arthur did not even wait a full day. He soon announced himself as the king. No one questioned Arthur's rule. As the powerful people who were dissatisfied with Arthur being the king were secretly killed by the members of The League of the Black Tomb.
At the same time, the army of the Nepoca Kingdom, the Deep Sea Palace Kingdom, and the other 12 kingdoms began to march forward to the Istarin Kingdom. The Paladin Dynasty was already in ruins. The Dynasty no longer existed. Aditya's attack had killed all the members of the dynasty. The paladin Dynasty's land was also very badly destroyed. No kingdom or dynasty wanted to take over that former Paladin Dynasty's land.
"Hahaha! The Istarin King will have no choice but to kneel and surrender himself."
"We will not stop until we take over every corner of the Istarin Kingdom."
"No one can stop us now."
King Ethan and King Lewis followed by the other 12 kings were currently riding horses. While riding horses, the kings heard the words of the soldiers. The soldiers were full of confidence. The combined army of 14 factions was over a million.
Just the Deep Sea Palace Kingdom had bought over half a million troops. While the Nepoca Kingdom had the second highest number of troops which was 150,000 troops. King Ethan did not stop there. Aside from bringing all of his troops, he also used his money to hire 100,000 troops from the State of Mercenaries.
The State of Mercenaries was an independent powerhouse that mainly trained soldiers and lent them to kingdoms in exchange for money. The State of Mercenaries had sent 100,000 soldiers to help him with the war against the Istarin Kingdom. Honestly, the State of Mercenaries felt that bringing more than 1 million troops just to face a 3rd-tier kingdom is too much. Even a half million troops would be more than enough to crush the Istarin Kingdom that just recently rose.
Of course, the State of Mercenaries did not share their thoughts with King Ethan. To them, money is what mattered the most. The State of Mercenaries was one of those factions that earned big profits during the time of the warfare.
However, there was one major flaw in using the soldiers from the State of Mercenaries. Unlike regularly trained soldiers, the soldiers from the State of Mercenaries were not loyal. it was normal for them to flee from the battle if they find themselves in a disadvantageous situation. This is what made many kings hesitate from buying soldiers from the State of Mercenaries.
But King Ethan wasn't worried at all. He knew that the soldiers he had bought from flee but he wasn't too worried. Even if the Istarin Kingdom has gotten stronger, can the Dragon King fight against an army of more than millions? Can the Istarin King take on their 4th and 5th-order powerhouse? How long the Istarin troops will last against an army of more than millions?
So in total, right now the Nepoca Kingdom had over two hundred and fifty thousand troops. Almost all of the troops were highly trained and were Peak 1st-order cultivators. All the troops were provided with the best armor and weapon.
While the combined army of 12 kingdoms was around four hundred and eighty thousand. So the total number of troops that the Istarin Kingdom was going to face was one million two hundred and thirty thousand (1,230,000). Not only that the half million troops that King Lewis bought were far superior and stronger compared to other troops. There were thousands of second-orders and hundreds of 3rd-orders.
In the history of the Eastern region, this is the first time that 14 factions have formed an alliance together just to take down on Kingdom that is not even a 4th-tier powerhouse. This has never happened even in the whole history of the Dying Isle continent.
"I would really like to see how the Istarin Kingdom that now rumored to have over two hundred thousand (200,000) troops will stand against the army of one million two hundred and thirty thousand (1,230,000)?" King Ethan had an arrogant expression on his face. Everyone except King Lewis felt that king Ethan had every right to be arrogant.
"Sir Ethan, I think you have asked the wrong question. The question should be, how the Istarin Kingdom will survive an attack from one million two hundred and thirty thousand (1,230,000) troops?" King Ethan couldn't help but smile hearing King Lewis's words. Over the 15 days, the relationship between the two Kings has gotten really well.
King Lewis has helped the Nepoca Kingdom in many ways. The Deep Sea Palace has sold rare materials that are found under the sea to the Nepoca Kingdom at a cheap price. King Lewis personally sent several powerful 3rd-orders to protect the Nepoca Kingdom. King Ethan felt King Lewis and the Deep Sea Palace kingdom's sincerity. Right now the Nepoca Kingdom had no problem with the Deep Sea Palace taking over the Istarin Kingdom.
