Chapter 213
****
Currently, Duke Norman’s n just got the new ballistas and were using these at the other border against the Beasts .
One of the guards asked curiously, "Boss, it has beco quite easy to handle these beasts after we got these ballistas, Why don’t we increase the amount and funding on these weapons . What do you think?"
The Head nodded and spoke as he smoked a cigarette, "True, previously we always had to wait for those beasts to co near the walls to fire our arrows which would make us vulnerable to their magic . However, these Ballistas are provided by Prince Hector and Duke himself so it’s quite hard to get your hands on it . "
He watched the n using the ballistas as they were in a happy mood after a long ti .
One of the soldiers spoke as he laughed, "With this, we can even easily take the Wildland away, can’t we? Work has never been this easy . No wonder those guys at North-frontier City act quite cockily . "
The other guy understood but spoke in a grave tone, "Ohh please, why do you want to increase our workload? We are already at war with that Count . "
Hearing this gossip, the head imdiately jolted after hearing this talk, ’Yes, why don’t we ta all the untad lands? Who knows we can even find Magic tal and gold mines, not to ntion we would gain access to unknown lands . Damn it, I need to inform the Duke imdiately . My promotion rests on this suggestion . ’
However, currently, Ross and n were continuing to increase their lands where they would face so unknown beasts and roll over them by using the much superior cannons .
Ross thought as he continued, "I guess Lord Taylor would be quite happy after knowing our current results and increase in our lands . "
The head murmured as he was coming back from the city office of Bliss City at North, "Damn it, I can’t even contact the Duke or any other important officials . Well, I was still able to write a letter to them who knows if they can take a look at it and get promoted . "

Blake was currently patrolling the waters around Aurora and Winter City . As their ship spotted a small fleet of 4 ships with a flag of two cross pick-axes, one hamr at the bottom and a crown at the top .
Boris the scout, irritatingly spoke after he spotted the fleet, "Damn it, again those dwarves, Hmm . . why do they have the ballistas? It seems they have managed to copy it . Boss, see this, it’s the dwarves again . "
One of the fleets of Fjord’s too was traveling towards the Direction of Winter city which was spotted by Blake and his n,
One of the guys from the Dwarves fleet exclaid as he spotted smoke in the sky, "Hey, how is there fire burning?"
Head of the Dwarves fleet was alerted as he heard of the fire, "Fire? Is there a settlent? Weren’t these Dangerous beasts such as Draco-elephants and the Dark Hyenas running around over there? There can’t be fire beasts over here . "
As soon as he exclaid, he soon heard the sound of a cannon shattering one of the ships .
One of the guys exclaid with horror as he spotted the cannonballs, "Omg, what is this? How are they able to attack us from such a long-range? God, what is this ordeal . "
Blake cursed as he spotted the two fleets, "Damn it, why did both of them have to co here together? fuck it, use the cannon with full force, kill all of them or capture them, I don’t care . No one should escape . "
He continued as he imdiately ordered the other ships with a horn, "Don’t let anyone of them escape or else it would only spell more trouble for us . "
Judd too nodded as he looked at his Aurora horse as he smiled and spoke, "I guess it is still not your ti yet . You will have to wait for your ti of action . "
Judd nodded after hearing Blake as he ordered his n to fire at Fjord’s camp, "Fire . Don’t miss a single one . Just use them as we did with the Ballistas . "
The dwarf captain roared, "So these are the guys who are responsible for the many sunken ships and dead n previously . We will certainly repay you for this . "
He imdiately ordered, "Leave, We are leaving imdiately . "
Judd smiled as he heard the Head, "You wish . We would be dead if you guys are able to escape with these accessories . "
The Dwarves n too were bombarded by the cannons as Blake and his n started using the cannons with full force towards their enemies .
One of the n from Dwarves board liked to keep a log whenever he traveled as he noted down the events he witnessed today,
Watching the Dwarves trying to run,
Fjord’s n too started running after spotting the Dwarves,
The Head of Fjord’s ship cursed as he spotted the settlent, "Damn it, no wonder they were able to survive in the Monstrous wilds these days . They had already made a base at this settlent . We need to inform the duke imdiately about this developnt . "
As they were running Blake smiled for the first ti and started to use the boosters and steam engines on the ships .
Blake smiled and ordered, "Ti to show them our real power . n, Unleash this sea beast warship . I will see how they escape today . "
Bran imdiately ca and spoke, "Boss, please, you don’t try to act cool . You can give us straight orders . "
The mates at the ship laughed as they imdiately followed the orders .
Both of them(Fjord and Dwarves) were quite surprised as they found the acceleration of the warships belonging to Count John .
The dwarf captain roared as he noticed the peculiarity, "Damn it, What sorcery is this? How are they able to overrun the ship made by Fjords . Are we really running behind the tis?"
He roared and ordered his n, "Resist, we can’t run . approach them and try to kill them . "
One of the guys threw a bottle with a letter inside the ocean before even his ship caught fire .
He sighed and spoke, "It’s better if we surrender . "
Very soon all of them were gunned down, while 2 ships surrendered themselves which was caught by Blake .
Blake sighed with relief as he was able to contain the situation, "Phew, none of them were able to escape . Bring the prisoners back to Aurora . "
Judd remarked as he escorted the two ships, "It is getting dangerous day by day . We need to do sothing about it . "
One of the guys roared, "Damn it, what are those weapons you used before? And how co your ships are so fast compared to our ships?"
One of the guys smiled and answered, "Just a secret trump card . Well, we couldn’t have let you reveal the existence of Aurora and Winter City so, in the end, we had to use them . As far as the speed of ships are concerned it is because of the sothing that we developed recently i . e . The Magic boosters . "
With an Irritated face, Judd roared to gossiper, "Stop shooting your mouth left and right . Don’t co crying when I give you harsher punishnt . "
anwhile, that bottle with a letter was slowly traveling in the sea .
Very Soon 4 days passed,
General Irwin remarked as he saw the sa casual pace at the borders of the Southern Castle, "It seems they are still not ready to surrender . It seems we have no choice . "
Johnson smiled as she saw the event unfolding, "Yes, we can finally start our operation . I am sure you are ready, right?"
Irwin nodded and called his ssenger, "Yes, I want to send that general, one last letter . "
John was at the Southern Castle after he got the warning of invasion from King Lionheart himself,
Arlen smiled and asked, "Lord, you seem unusually happy currently, what’s the occasion . "
John smiled and answered, "Well, this is the ti when we are finally ready to unmask all the pretenses, both by the Royal family and we the North-frontier domain . If a battle occurs today then it will be sending shockwaves to the whole continent because of this battle and we will establish our power for the first ti . However, this continent will face a lot of losses if that King is stubborn . "
Arlen was amused as he thought a bit and answered, "Lord, what would be your decision if the Royal family had supported you instead of Fjord previously?"
John smiled and answered after looking at armies on both the sides, "Well, in that case, I would have fulfilled my promises, fought for the Aelius Kingdom just like any other person if they kept their promises . I am not soone who will betray unless I am betrayed, I guess I have my honor when I make promises . Not to ntion, the Royal family who has a history of betrayals . It’s quite ironic as sotis I value honor while sotis when it cos to the lives of my n I won’t value honor . I guess I am sowhat of a hypocrite . "
Arlen was quite shocked after hearing him as he pondered on John’s answer, ’Lord is quite an interesting man . ’

Luke was currently worrying about his life as it seed that Count John was not bluffing previously when he had talks with him, "Damn! We are finally at this point . Do we really have to go through this war? Can’t that count simply bow his head once or sacrifice so of his n?"
Looking at the ruckus at the Ambassadorial place,
Taylor ca in and spoke, "Minister Luke, you don’t need to worry about your life as long as you are behaving according to the protocols . We are not soone who will implicate a diplomat or a ssenger even if he is of the enemy kingdom . "
Luke was shocked as he heard Taylor, ’They never referred us as an enemy kingdom . What are they planning?’
Luke angrily asked after hearing him, "What do you an, interior minister Taylor? Are you referring us as an enemy kingdom? North-frontier domain STILL BELONGS TO AELIUS . "
Taylor looked down at him and spoke with a cold tone, "It is as you have heard . I think you already know about the armies at our borders or the situation at present where there are three armies, one belonging to General Irwin, 2nd the Templars of Radiant Church and 3rd one, ours . This is the Day of reckoning which all of you should know . If we lose this war, most of us belonging to North-frontier domain would die . And if we survive, we will be carving up a new kingdom . You better be prepared for this because the greed of the Royal family led to this situation . And yes you shouldn’t be worried about your life . Do you know why the people here still trust Count John?"
Taylor had a nostalgic face as he rembered that day clearly, He continued and spoke with resolve, "It is because he has never let his people down from the day he beca a lord here . I still rember that day clearly when Count John stood by Jake . When Evan asked for Jake’s head, that was the day when I saw that all the people here changed with him including . You see, the irony is, even I as a father, I was prepared to not bla the count if he gave up on Jake when he t a bigger power in the form of Evan . But unexpectedly, he did the unthinkable and stood by his n for the injustice done by the aristocrats of this land . I am glad that even if I die in this war, I will die serving a lord who will be there fighting along with us . Look at the n outside, you will see that all of them are determined to fight with their Lord which includes the commoners and slaves who will soon beco commoners . "
Luke was astonished as he heard Taylor’s resolute announcent . Most of the guards here were moved by Taylor but angered at thought of carving up a kingdom but still understood the thinking of people at North-frontier city . They were quite used to the royal family scandals when they read the paper and hence their indifference currently .
Taylor clearly rembered how John wanted to keep the promises he made and spoke with a smile to all of them present, "Do you know what was your mistake?"
He continued with a smile, "You didn’t keep your promises with us and you thought that we would take all of these offenses lying down . "
Elison nodded as he heard Taylor, He thought, ’No wonder count John has such big support over here . It seems he always had this big plan when he stood up for that slave . I guess I can now trust that we wouldn’t be hurt over here . However, this war will certainly be catastrophic if we face such n . That Count is surely dangerous if he had planned all of this from the start . ’
Luke seriously pondered for the first ti, ’It seems I underestimated them, we really miscalculated bigti . I wish I had so way to stop this war . Damn it . Did we really make a big mistake by supporting Fjord instead of Count John?’
