Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Novel

306 Do You Dare To Go To War?

"So the two of you attacked the Ashina Kingdom because their rankers bullied your family members?" one of the Kings, who belonged to the alliance that the Ashina Kingdom was part of, asked.

"Gentlemen, this is a serious violation of the pact between Saints. You should have dealt with the person responsible, and not the Kingdom they belonged to. This is a very childish act of revenge, don't you think so?"

Maximilian, who had just finished drinking his tea, placed it on the top of the table and eyed the King, who was seated across from him.

"So, in short, you want us to destroy your place as well?" Maximilian asked.

The King slammed his hand against the table and glared at the Saint who just threatened to attack his domain.

"I'm telling you that what you did was wrong!" the King shouted. "If all of us attacked others just because one of our family members was hurt, wars would break out innumerably, resulting in the loss of countless lives. Are you taking wars lightly?"

Maximilian rested his chin over the palm of his hand as he stared at the King with contempt.

"I don't give a hoot about this Pact between Saints," Maximilian commented. "I didn't sign it, so I'm not a part of it. Anyone who hurts my granddaughter will die alongside his kingdom. If you don't want to be destroyed, make sure to tell your children not to touch those they shouldn't touch. If you want war, I'll give you war."

The King was angered further and shakingly pointed his finger at the old man whom he wanted to slap so badly, but couldn't due to the disparity in strength. "Why, you…!"

"Enough!"

A powerful voice stopped the argument by force.

"Are you sure you want to take this path, Sir Maximilian?" the Emperor of the Vahan Empire, Emperor Andreas, asked. "Once we decide to go to war, there is no turning back."

Emperor Andreas was the leader of the Four Kingdoms and one Empire Alliance that matched the strength of the Six Kingdom in Solais.

His Empire also had two Saints in it, so he wasn't afraid of Alexander and Maximilian wreaking havoc in his domain.

"Yeah," Maximilian replied nonchalantly. "Do you dare to go to war?"

Emperor Andreas smiled before shifting his gaze to Alexander, who was just listening to the side.

"How about you, Sir Alexander?" Emperor Andreas asked. "Are you sure you want to go to war?"

Alexander held Emperor Andreas' gaze and answered in a calm manner.

"I only have four family members," Alexander said. "One of them is on her deathbed, and my only daughter was almost kidnapped and raped. I have nothing to lose, but you do. So let me ask you… Do you dare go to war?"

Alexander narrowed his eyes as he stared at the Emperor, who was the true leader of the Alliance that was opposing their own. Maximilian and he only cared for their family members, so they couldn't care less about what happened to other people.

Neither of them cared if countless people would lose their lives. If their daughter and granddaughter died, they would ensure that an entire Kingdom would be buried alongside them.

Emperor Andreas snorted before leaning back in his chair.

The other kings, who had remained silent throughout the discussion, waited for the decision of the Two Saints, as well as the Emperor, who would dictate if a war would happen between their factions.

"It's annoying to talk to people who have nothing to lose," Emperor Andreas commented after several minutes had passed. "Fine. We will turn a blind-eye on this incident, but neither of you are allowed to attack any of the other kingdoms belonging to my faction. Since this is a battle between the young generation, let them settle it themselves."

"Your Majesty! Please reconsider!" the King of the Ashina Kingdom stood as he gazed at the leader of their alliance. "My Capital CIty and Royal Palace have been destroyed. How can we possibly not ask them for compensation!"

Emperor Andreas glanced at the King of the Ashina Kingdom with an ice-cold expression.

"You dare question my decision?" Emperor Andreas asked.

"N-No. I am just asking why aren't we asking for compensation?" the King of the Ashina Kingdom replied.

"That is the price you must pay for raising a stupid son," Emperor Andreas snorted. "This is your problem, so deal with it on your own. Don't drag us in to clean up your mess.

"Ah, before I forget. From now on, the Domain of the Fallen will also be open to members of our faction. We can let our representatives settle the quota for each Kingdom to prevent any conflicts in the future. That is all. Once again, adults are now forbidden to get in the way of the conflicts of the young generation. If this thing happens again then…"

Emperor Andreas scanned the faces of the Kings of the opposing faction and sneered.

"Then we will go to war. This is not a bluff."

Emperor Andreas stood up and left the room with a smile on his face. Although he said that he would turn a blind eye on the incident that just transpired, that didn't mean that he wouldn't make things difficult for the factions that belonged to Barbatos Academy, the Rowan Tribe, as well as the Six Kingdoms, who dared to attack a territory that belonged under his umbrella.

"Domain of the Fallen," Emperor Andreas muttered. "I finally found your location."

Unknown to everyone, the Domain of the Fallen was something that the Vahan Empire had been searching for a long time. Their founding Emperor had passed down a message which said that one of the gates inside the Sacred Dungeon held a golden key that would lead to the Holy City of the Draconic Race that floated in the sky.

Anyone who was able to reach that place would gain treasures beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Now that the location of the mysterious Dungeon was found, Emperor Andreas was confident that he would be able to secure the key for himself and allow the Vahan Empire to gain access to the Holy City. He believed that in the future, they would have power to expand their territories and become the true Overlord of the Western Regions of Elysium.
