“I will go there after I conquer Baron Tyre and Baron Scarlet’s domains. We shall gain a workforce that will be put into the olive farms once we take the town but for now, I should deal with the matters of the stronghold. I’ve neglected it for a while.”
Hearing this, Kelvin smiled.
He had no idea that the reason Asher refused to go as soon as possible was because he was wary of the rank of a century-old fairy, a being with greater magi reserves and he was also cautious of the orc troops!
Only after completing the mission and upgrading Sirius to the saint rank would he have the confidence of surviving even if things went bad.
But for now, they had to be watchful of that place.
Unfortunately, he had to curb his itch to see a fairy. The fairy race were naturally more beautiful than the elves because they had more of nature’s favor and the sight of their dragonfly wings was quite magnificent to Asher even when it was digital.
In terms of magic technology, such as elemental trebuchets, top-quality mage staffs, and myriad mythical beasts, they were the top.
Yes, mythical beasts were always found around the domains of fairies and since humans hunted them without paying heed to the fairies warnings, it caused a rift.
One that resulted in the total banishment and banning every human from stepping into the fairy domain unless their ruler gives a seal of pardon on that particular individual.
Knowing this priestess would surely have one of these things around her, Asher was naturally more cautious. He didn’t want to waste his men.
After replaying to Kelvin, he began to savor his meal.
Cynthia had smiles as she would occasionally ask him to taste a different dish while Kelvin stood in the sidelines watching the scene with a little smirk.
His Lord was growing so wise that he would not need him very soon.
Kelvin was much smarter than he acted but he often threw those questions to make Asher come up with a solution. It was a way of training Asher without his knowledge.
…….
On the walls of a castle, the Black Iron castle. The last standing dominion belonging to Baron Scarlet, several sharpshooters could be seen preparing to light their arrowhead with fire.
The skies were dark but the silhouette of the giant creature ahead of the cavaliers nerved them greatly.
Baron Scarlet, a 43-year-old man, held his sword and shield in his hand while his expression was solemn.
At this point, he knew his enemy. It was House Ashbourne!
Unbelievably, that cripple had such a fearsome troop and none of them were aware of it!
“Ready!” One of his knights roared but they underestimated the fact that they were against 500 gold-ranked cavaliers!
500 knights!
Before the Scarlet Knight could utter another word, azure lightning-packed arrows were released from the bows of 200 Stormbringers.
The lighting arrows illuminated the sky as they reached the wall almost instantly, piercing and slamming soldiers off the top of the wall. Over 300 died in the first batch, causing Baron Scarlet to shudder.
“My Lord, it’s best you leave the wall!” One of his bodyguards advised.
Taking heed to his advice, Baron Scarlet and his bodyguards left the wall, hurrying toward the lord’s manor.
“Why are they rushing toward us without slowing down?” A Scarlet Soldier asked with furrowed brows.
The knight, who was their commander, heard it, and his brows knit together.
‘What are the Ashbournes up to?’
He thought inwardly.
He squinted as Sirius’ speed picked up and it left the cavaliers in the dust, racing for the castle with greater speed.
“Javelins!” The knight roared.
500 men lifted javelins and launched them toward Sirius but the javelins bounced off its fur. At that moment, Sirius arrived, and he slammed the stone wall!Boom!
The section where Sirius slammed shattered with stones of different sizes flying outward.
The soldiers below the wall started running as they avoided the rocks falling from the sky.
Awooo!
Sirius roared toward the sky and its eyes turned orange. Orange flames billowed out of its mouth in the fashion of a flamethrower.
Those who were caught in the flaming tide couldn’t even scream when they were wiped away from existence!
Its eyes turned azure as it faced the left and ice spilled forth, turning everything 200 yards away from it into an ice sculpture!
The level of negatives was so low that the armor of the Bladebreaker, who rushed in through the broken wall, had a thin layer of ice spreading outward.
“For the count!”
Lambert roared.
“For Count Asher!!”
Having been informed through a messenger bird, it was Lambert’s duty to make sure while destroying their enemies, they knew that his lord wasn’t a baron anymore.
They were only suited to be his vassals.
“My Lord, run!”
One of Baron Scarlet’s bodyguards bellowed and turned to face the chaos going on between Ashbourne soldiers and their men.
While they had thousands, the Ashbournes were grinding them down like a whirlwind.
Sirius, the Ashbourne wolf that had made its name known throughout the House Scarlet domain, had killed about 1000 in just two breaths!
Seeing the wolf running toward him, the bodyguard suddenly grew in mass. He grew until he was 3 meters tall but before he could brandish his weapon, Sirius transformed into a white blur, closing the gap instantly.
Its claws, strong enough to be forged into a diamond-ranked weapon or even a sacred rank if forged well, cut through the man without restraint.
His rock-hard muscles were like butter before Sirius’ claws.
At the bodyguard’s dying breath, he wondered where such a dreaded beast had been and who was able to tame it.
Seeing Sirius slay more of his bodyguards, Baron Scarlet turned around and dashed toward the wolf while it also ran toward him.
As the gap grew closer, Baron Scarlet grew hotter, his hair became pure red, his eyes followed, and red veins could be seen under his skin!
“You wolf, have you ever heard of Supernova?!”
