After one week.
The residents of Glory city surrounded the King’s castle.
Flags of the Kingdom were raised. An eagle soaring high in the sky was the logo on the flag of the Kingdom.
The air was filled with anticipation and talks among the citizens.
And not only the Royals of glory city, people from all over the cities and villages were present.
Though, only the residents of Glory city surrounded the castle.
The other people weren’t allowed inside the city. They were standing outside the gates of the city and they were excited as well.
They all passed the three gates for entering the premises of the Glory city easily as the King had told the guards that no one should be stopped today.
The crowd was huge as if they wanted to see a movie star.
And all this crowd was only for one reason.
The copies of the book that Lee copied in huge numbers.
The King had distributed the copies to all around the kingdom and everyone by now knew what was going to take place.
The copy contained the talks with the Vampire woman and the King added his page that told everyone about when and who was going to deal with the deadly mist.
The copies reached every single place of the Forza Kingdom and by now, everyone knew who was the leader of the mission.
Pablo Castillo.
The copies had also reached the military and Pablo’s mission won’t be spoiled by this.
Because in the copy, it was written that Pablo is a detective. So the military won’t consider his mission failure because Pablo didn’t reveal his real identity.
The residents of the Forsaken Village were also there and that wasn’t all, his ten slaves were also present.
And then there was also Darcel. The chief of the Crisis village whose case Pablo had solved on his way to Glory city.
All of them wanted to see the main Man.
Everyone was cheering and they all were there to wish Pablo good luck.
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
Loud sounds rang. People stopped chanting.
Three people ca to the balcony of the King’s castle and all three of them had big drums tied on their necks that reached their stomach.
They stomped their hands on it making a loud sound and like that, everyone’s attention was drifted there.
The three drumrs stood at the corner of the balcony and then two guards ca there.
They didn’t go to the corner, they just stood at either side of the balcony door like the guards they were.
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
The drums were beaten again and that signified soone’s arrival.
And the people knew full well, who would arrive.
On the balcony of the King’s castle, only one person would appear.
The King himself.
The doors opened wide and a man clad in royal attire stepped out.
A golden shiny throne adorned on his head, a red regal robe depicted the majesty of the ruler.
He ca to the far end of the balcony and people waited for their King to speak.
"We et again, people."
The crowd stayed silent.
"The last ti we t it was our first attack at the mist and after that, a good amount of ti has passed and we have made so developnts."
The King looked at everyone. Even at those who were outside the city.
"Inside the mist we have t the Vampire Woman and she was held captive by us. And what happened after that, you all know. And with that knowledge, we are going for a second run. And this ti, I believe, it’s the last ti we are seeing the mist. It will die today."
"Yess!" The people finally spoke.
"And so for today, I have arranged my entire army. Sothing I only did two tis. One, when the Cannibals attacked us and second, when the Demon attacked us.
And today is the third ti. So, everyone, please…"
The King paused, made eye contact with everyone and spread his arms.
"Welco my army."
THROOM!
FRILLL!
THUMP!
BANG!
THUMP!
THUMP!
Drums, roars, cheers, doors clacking, everything happened at once.
A big portion of land opened up in front of the door of the castle and people saw the stairs.
The heavy footsteps approached the stairs and one by one, people ca out.
People wearing black armors that looked a lot like jackets.
The armors fitted each person perfectly as if they were custom made for each of them. Which in reality, they were.
Their strides were calculative, no one ssed with the formation and all of them walked straight as an arrow.
In just two minutes, all of them ca out of the basent and all of their faces were facing the exit gate of the Glory city.
They all had weapons on themselves and the weapon varied from each individual.
One person had a sword, one had a mace, another one an ax, another one spear.
And each man was proficient in the weapon they were holding.
Apart from all that, the people noticed so other things as well.
The people who ca from the basent didn’t have their faces covered and on the back of their armor, their nas were also written.
The crowd welcod all of them with cheers and chants as they all knew who these people were.
They were the entire force of the King.
And they were so large in numbers that they were reaching outside the city.
There were barricades acting as a border between the people and the soldiers. That’s why the line of the soldiers reached outside the city, otherwise they would have covered the entire area of the city.
Nevertheless, no one was complaining and the people were hyped by seeing the sheer amount of n ready for the war.
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
The drums were beaten again and the people turned their heads at the balcony of the castle once more.
"Everyone, this is my entire army. I am sending my entire force inside the mist. That’s how serious I am. I want the end of the mist and I will make sure it happens today."
"Yeahh!"
"Let’s goo!"
The people were filled with enthusiasm. It was a once in a lifeti mont for them. They weren’t sure when they would get to see the entire army of the King again.
"And the army is not the end of it, people. There’s more. Soone else is also joining them. One of the strongest groups of people of this Kingdom. To lead such an army, soone capable is required. So, for that, I chose… four people."
The King paused. He spread his arms again and bellowed :
"The Four High Dukes, everyone!"
THUMP!
One man landed on the ground.
THUMP!
Another one.
THUMP!
THUMP!
Two more.
Four people jumped on the ground and no one saw where they ca from.
But when the people saw who they were, they stopped caring about where they ca from.
Everyone welcod the four high Dukes with zeal.
"One high Duke will stay with here and the other four will go inside the mist. They are the strongest and they will certainly lead us to victory." The King said and the people never stopped cheering.
Jamal, Boulder, Rower and one more high Duke was there and they all were standing behind the soldiers.
Soldiers’ backs were in front of them. They were looking at the exit gate of the city.
The people didn’t know why the high dukes were standing behind the soldiers. They should be at the front of them since they would lead them and all.
Nonetheless, no one raised any question about it and everyone waited for the King to speak further.
All of them turned their heads at the king. The beating of drums wasn’t even needed this ti as they all were eager for the main thing. They all wanted to see soone and they knew his appearance was near.
"Now," The King spoke. "After the appearance of my army, the high dukes, the last person will co and greet us. He will also go inside the mist and he is the true leader of this mission."
The people waited with bated breaths.
"All this is possible because of that sa person. The person who ca to us with a solution, with a proposal. The sa person who made the Woman confess. Without him, this whole thing would just be a dream.
And you all are waiting for the very sa person as well. So without wasting any more ti, please welco the detective, the man, the mastermind, the person who is none other than…"
The King spread his arms once more and in his loudest voice, he hollered the na and along with him, the whole crowd announced the na…
"Pablo Castillloooo!!"
The main door of the castle opened.
People went silent.
No one ca out yet.
Then the next second, it happened.
They saw a silhouette.
The silhouette moved.
One leg ca out of the door, then the other leg and like that, the silhouette was not in the dark anymore.
The sun showed the man in full form and the black armor only added charm to his clear skin.
And no genius was needed to know that…
Pablo Castillo had finally arrived.
