Without the gods’ protection, the Jonah Kingdom’s Northern defense line was on the verge of collapse, and the people inside panicked.
In addition, the other two human kingdoms stood by and did nothing.
In less than eight months, the Jonah Kingdom’s Iron Mountain Defense Line, an important border town that had been built for hundreds of years, was personally broken through by King Beamon.
The kingdom’s most elite 100,000 dragon cavalrymen were also destroyed by the orc army’s tidal wave of attacks.
The million soldier orc army marched straight into the Jonah Kingdom, wreaking havoc on the kingdom’s land as if there were no one defending it.
Almost every day, the news of cities being massacred would spread.
The people heard all sorts of news about women and children being killed, their army being buried alive, and cities being burned.
It was also under the orc army’s cruel actions, which angered the Jonah Kingdom’s people.
Men between the ages of 15 and 50 signed up to join the army, vowing to protect their homes and defend the country against the orc invasion.
Even wealthy nobles who did not have to contribute were all giving away their wealth, forging weapons and equipment while distributing grain and cloth to the people.
The entire country was united. Now, the people were all soldiers, sharing life and death.
But even so, they were unable to stop the orc army’s advancement.
In less than a year, the orc army had already massacred over a hundred human cities.
Wherever they passed, there would be no signs of life.
During this process, the Jonah Kingdom’s people prayed to the gods again and again and even cried for help. They expressed their determination with their deaths, hoping that they could receive their gods’ protection.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times this process was repeated, they would only be faced with disappointment.
Finally, the orc army uprooted and killed all the cities that were in their way until they reached the capital of Jonah Kingdom.
All the men in the capital took up their weapons and walked up to the city walls, ready to fight to the death.
The rest of the elderly, women, and children went to the temple square and knelt on the ground, pleading with tears of blood.
They only hoped that at the last moment, this god who they had worshipped for hundreds of years would be able to save the Jonah Kingdom from their gruesome fate.
Outside the city, the orc army had already built a high platform and looked down at the city.
When King Beamon saw the city people were praying to their god again, he couldn’t help but laugh wildly.
“Haha! Weak two-legged sheep, your God is already dead.”
The reason why he dared to lead the million soldier orc army South was because he knew that the Jonah Kingdom had lost contact with their God.
Not only that, King Beamon also realized that he had lost contact with his own Beast God.
Although he didn’t know why, King Beamon knew this was the best opportunity for them to strike against their biggest foe.
In the past, the Jonah Kingdom had the protection of a god and firmly occupied the most fertile land on the continent.
Furthermore, the Beast God that they believed in wasn’t as powerful as the Jonah Kingdom’s God.
For some reasons that were difficult to explain, the Beast God had never supported the Northern Orc Alliance’s invasion to the South and had even stopped giving them guidance during crucial battle moments in the past.
This was why they had so many failed invasions previously with such heavy losses.
But now, the Jonah Kingdom had lost the protection of a God, while the orcs had no God that would hold them back.
King Beamon could finally lead his army to invade the most fertile land in the South.
When the people of Jonah Kingdom heard King Beamon’s drum-like roar, their faces couldn’t help but turn ashen, their hearts filled with fear.
The palace, which was usually bustling with noise, had now become deserted.
The dragon cavalry guards that usually guarded the princess and the rest of the royal guards had all been transferred to the city tower to guard the capital.
Even the servants who were responsible for cleaning, the maids who served the King and Queen, and the chefs who were in charge of cooking were all busy defending the capital in their own ways.
They were either moving logs and stones, sewing armor and battle robes, or taking care of any wounded soldiers.
Almost everyone, from the king and queen to the peddlers and pawns, had their own role in the war.
Only a single courtyard had quite an unusual atmosphere. Although it was quiet, there was still an air of elegance that lingered in the area. The person who sat in the middle of it all seemed quite carefree.
It was as if the million soldier orc army outside the city had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a female battle robe walked into the small courtyard.
She came before the courtyard’s master and knelt down with a plop, pleading, “Mr. Su, I beg you to save the Jonah Kingdom! Those orc armies have almost killed all the kingdom’s people.”
“Now, they are going to attack the capital city and hurt my parents. I beg you to save them!”
After saying a few words, the woman’s face was already covered in tears as she sobbed uncontrollably.
It was difficult to hide the desolate and terrified expression on her face.
These two people were Sullo and the Jonah Kingdom’s princess.
A few years ago, the two of them had been traveling in the southern jungle where they accidentally met a demigod-level fire dragon.
The 100 dragon cavalrymen protected them with their lives, but they were unable to stop the fire dragon.
However, just as the fire dragon was about to capture the princess, Sullo, who had been indifferent all this while, moved.
He flicked his finger lightly and a stream of light shot out, piercing through the fire dragon’s forehead.
In an instant, a thumb-sized hole appeared, and the incomparably violent fire dragon died.
It was then that everyone realized the seemingly harmless Mr. Su’s strength was actually so terrifying.
With just a wave of his hand, he was able to instantly kill a demigod-level fire dragon, almost surpassing normal human limits.
From then on, the incomparably arrogant dragon cavalry became more and more obedient when facing Sullo.
It was also from then on that the Jonah Kingdom’s princess realized that this man whom she had secretly admired was actually so powerful.
It was also from then on that this princess finally understood that the two of them were not from the same world at all.
The best thing for them all was to pretend not to know about Sullo’s strength nor investigate his origins.
Because once the truth was revealed, the two of them would probably never have the chance to meet again.
But now, with a million orc troops at the city gates, she had no other choice.
What she didn’t know was that the reason the Jonah Kingdom was unable to communicate with their own gods was because of Sullo and the other foreign gods.
However, at this moment, she hoped that Sullo would make a move and save the Jonah Kingdom from their terrible fate even if she would not be able to see him for the rest of her life.
Looking at the weeping princess in front of him, Sullo could not help but sigh. His heart was slightly moved.
Although he was a high and mighty god who had an eternity in front of him, he was once a man who had sacrificed his own heart to protect his family and country in his previous life.
When he thought about that, Sullo solemnly looked at the princess and said seriously, “Your Highness, thank you for your hospitality over the past two years. This country is very wonderful. Especially you and the delicious food you cooked!”
