Up in the sky, Paladin was watching everything that was happening. He wasn’t in a hurry to attack even though he was a little surprised by everything that was happening. Paladin knew that the army of Han would try their best to protect his family if they ever find out that he is coming. Once Paladin captured Han in that barrier, he came here as quickly as he could with his soldiers, but he didn’t think that Han’s army would move so fast! They are already here waiting for me!
Simple-minded creatures. All of these mortals are so simple-minded! They always find strength in numbers so they try to gather together as much as possible to protect each other! Well, it is their loss. This is exactly what I wanted.
“X-1, fire cannon ray,”
A single android flew forward from behind Paladin! This was one of Paladin’s army. An army of androids called the X-series. Paladin also had from A-Series to W-Series, but it would be too much to bring all of them here for mere mortals. The X-Series would be more than enough. Each of them was once alive, but after Paladin finished with them, you cannot even call them living things anymore. They are robots that only exist to carry out his commands!
X-1 put out his hand and his hand transformed into a large cannon! There was a yellow glow shining from the middle of the cannon and it shot a powerful beam of energy that was made entirely of plasma!
Down on the ground, Gregory’s eyes widened when he saw the cannon ray shooting straight at the castle! He immediately shot to the front of his army and shouted out orders for them to form a defensive barrier! The mages in the army quickly came forward and started to form barriers using their artifact! Almost a thousand mages formed a large barrier and then the cannon hit!
Booommmmm!!!!!
The cannon was stronger than anything these white stars have ever faced! Their defenses started to waver as the cannon threatened to tear it apart completely!! Gregory grit his teeth and stared at the defense. Is it going to hold up!? It doesn’t look like it is! Come on, I don’t think I have any defensive skills that can block something like this either!
[Tower of Protection] has been activated
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly for the mages to grow shocked when they saw something appear in front of their defenses! It was a large tower that shone with a gold light! It surrounded the entire castle from all sides and completely stopped the cannon in its tracks!
Quinthreath floated out from the castle with a pissed-off expression. He has been getting something ready and now that he was done, he can come out to fight! He floated past Gregory and the other mages, and he spoke to Paladin himself.
“This is the territory of King Han. You have no right to be here. I will suggest you leave if you don’t want to die,”
Paladin gave Quinthreath a chilling smile.
“I’ll leave once I have what I came for. I can’t touch your king but don’t think I won’t kill all of you if you stand in my way. The child that the woman carries is the product of the binary king and I want it! If I cannot have the original them is it not right that I have a copy?”
Quinthreath felt his blood boil once he heard this! It was no news to them that the king was about to have a child, but to think that someone would want to take a child that hasn’t even been born yet! Is this man mad!? Quinthreath thought he already knew everything about the Celestials, but he was wrong! These monsters are far worse than what Han said!
“I won’t say this again! Leave now! This is the territory of King Han and you have no right to be here! Is it not against the rules for you to interfere in the life of the chosen! As a celestial why would you break this rule!?!”
Paladin smirked. Why should a god care about what the ants on the ground are saying? You cannot harm me so why should I listen to you!? If you want to harm me then you will need to call the binary king himself! IF you can get him out from my barrier that is!
Paladin rose his hand and all the androids behind him also rose their hand!
“I will have that child! Either you give it to me or I’ll go through you to get it! It is for science! Why can you people not understand that! You have no right to your lives! We are the ones that gave you everything and we can take it all away anytime we want! X-Series! Fire cannons!!”
The entire hundred thousand androids powered up their cannons and Gregory eagerly squeezed down on his scythe! He saw Gory come to float beside him with her own army. She might not be a part of Han’s army, but she knew that her king wouldn’t want her to stand aside as something like this happens. They might not be allies but that doesn’t mean they are enemies yet. The army behind the two of them waited anxiously for the order! They were all preparing their spells and it was like the calm before the storm!!
[Unstoppable Force] has been activated!!!
Then, all of a sudden, a great beam of light shot past the army from behind and flew straight for the androids! It stabbed into the X-1 and Paladin’s brow rose in surprise as he saw his android burst into thousands of pieces!!
Boommmm!
Quinthreath smiled as another voice broke through the quiet!
“Yare Yare. Why is everyone so tense? I just became a king and now everyone is trying to kill each other? That’s not fair at all,”
The man that showed himself was blonde and he had pure yellow eyes. He held a spear over his shoulder as he looked down at Paladin. He was the new king that just entered the rankings and his name was Argo. After killing both Freya and Troy, the rankings had enough space to be filled in by one more spearman. The person that managed to enter the spot was the strongest black star in the temple after the king’s and that was Argo.
4. Estoroth (Swordsman) – Battle maniac
5. Han Luo (Mage) – Overlord
6. Aria (Archer) – The fairy king
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm7. Ratte (Journeyman) – Wayward Master
8. Ai (Nightwalker) – Dark Horse
9. Quinthreath (Mage) – The Lord of The Rings
10. Argo (Spearman) – Demon With A Smile
These were the seven king’s under the three major powers now. Argo was just a new king and so he would take some time before he actually has a territory. But he knew just how dangerous King Han was and he had a lot of respect for Han. That is why, when Quinthreath called all the kings under Jan and told them that there is a problem with the Celestials, he was one of the first to answer! He respects King Han more than anyone and if anybody tries to mess with King Han, then they will have to go through him first!! Argo was already dead set on signing the contract of submission with Han! He is not even going to bother about what Han wanted to do with the contract! If it is King Han then that means it will only lead to victory in the end! That was the kind of trust he had in King Han!
“Don’t just run ahead like a child! You’re a king now, act like it!”
A new voice came from behind Argo and he sheepishly looked back to see Ai floating over him. Beside her was her right-hand man and beside him was Ratte. When Ratte got the information that the kings should gather to help Han, he had to come! If he tries to ignore the call then people would suspect him. And besides, he already signed the contract of submission so he didn’t even have a choice anyway!
The celestials won’t suspect him too much since they already know that he has signed a contract with Han! They will just think that Ratte is following orders so that he doesn’t look suspicious! Well, at least that is what Ratte hopes for!
But it wasn’t just the appearance of the kings that made hope shine in the eyes of Han’s army once again, it is the army that they brought with them! There were thousands of soldiers and even adventurers!! They filled the sky from miles on every side! The adventurers guild has always been looking for a way to get on Han’s good side and this was as good a chance as any! When they heard that Han Luo’s family needed help, they immediately put it up as a compulsory quest for every single adventurer!!! The number of adventurers and soldiers that arrived here was no less than five hundred thousand!!! Even Rau and Gray, the children that Han went on an adventure with to kill the Kraken were here!!
Rau had the spear that Han gave him in his hand and he brought along his own small army of white stars that were already under his command! He managed to use the civil war happening on floor sixty-three to gather support and they all came here to help Han!
Quinthreath nodded to the kings and they nodded back. Each of them knew that they would have to go after Paladin first. The androids were strong but the main problem here is Paladin himself! If he is killed them the others won’t be a problem!
The kings flew side by side with Gregory leading them and they all faced Paladin while the army behind them roared loud enough to shake the entire temple as they waited for the order to attack! They were all here to protect their king’s family and not a single one of them was backing down to the celestial!!
