Chapter 22 - The Beginning of the Invasion

After William's orders were received by King Helmut, he now prepared to carry out William's duties. William's expression did not change.

His previously cold face revealed a look of indifference. With the aura on his body exuding a heavy pressure, his figure disappeared and reappeared above the border of the Helmut Kingdom's fortress.

One of William's hands waved in front of his troops. The expressions of Commander Leo and his right-hand man, Zack, showed their nervousness.

Seeing William's unchanged reaction, the troops realized that their king had succeeded in conquering King Helmut. Therefore, they decided to release the troops from the Helmut Kingdom.

Before they were ordered by William to attack the Helmut Kingdom, they had listened to King William's plan. If their king's plan failed, they would all be forced to massacre the entire army of the Helmut Kingdom.

Luckily, King Helmut was a smart person. He can quickly decide which side is right. Before King Helmut could even think about the side effects of William's request, he didn't fully care about the matter.

Loud cheers were heard in all corners of the kingdom's borders. The shouts of the Lionheart Kingdom's troops showed their domineering voice. The citizens and troops of the Helmut Kingdom had completely lost their will to fight.

The troops from the Helmut Kingdom now dropped their weapons. After seeing how their king surrendered, happiness could be seen on the faces of the troops.

After seeing how domineering the entire army of the Lionheart Kingdom was, they had completely submitted to their orders. If King Helmut had not immediately surrendered beforehand, sooner or later, the entire population and troops of the Helmut Kingdom would have surrendered to William.

Some of them let out their breaths. Although some of them were reluctant to submit under the orders of the Lionheart Kingdom, they were fully aware that they were no match for them.

Moreover, nobles are one of the most important people. Luckily, the nobles did not show their rejection of their king's surrender.

There were no suspicious expressions on the nobles' faces. Instead, they have now decided not to say their words about William's actions.

As time went by, most of the Helmut Kingdom's troops began to arrive and join the Lionheart Kingdom's troops. William's expression did not change. His expressionless face was endlessly focused on the troops in front of him.

Looking at the side above him, a slight frown appeared on William's face. One of his hands is now facing the sun above him. For some reason, William's perspective towards the powers of the Freedom Circle stage was that of a lowly power that came to mind.

Clicking his tongue, William decided to ignore his stupid thoughts. William's current strength could easily compete with some weak experts in the Formation Circle stage.

William's gaze returned to King Helmut, and a small smile could be seen on his face. Even though William was a cold man, he couldn't completely ignore his troops.

"Even though you lost one of your arms, I promise that I will help you grow it back. Of course, that is if you help me in attacking the Blanc Kingdom. To start that plan, we will go to the Iron Kingdom right now."

King Helmut's previously nervous expression showed a face full of hope. Unable to hold back his happy expression, King Helmut's body subconsciously bowed before William.

"Sure! Of course! I will listen to everything you want! Even if you ask me to kill King Blanc, I will be happy to help you!" King Helmut's tone was very nervous. Instead of being happy with William's offer, he was fully aware that his life was still under William's control.

A sigh escaped William's mouth. After looking at the figure of King Helmut, who now lowered his body for some time, he decided to turn his gaze back to his troops.

"Everyone, our next target is the Iron Kingdom. They have also dared to violate the agreement we proposed before! Don't let them live before they can completely surrender to us!" William's voice echoed throughout the area. The expressions of the troops were serious. They now fully consider William's orders to be absolute.

A small smile appeared on Commander Leo's face. His previously calm face now showed a face full of enthusiasm. Several thoughts of where he would fight with the troops from the Iron Kingdom flashed through his mind.

Thinking about how his previous wish was to fight with the troops from the Helmut Kingdom came to mind again. At first, Commander Leo wanted to test his strength in fighting against hundreds of troops from the Helmut Kingdom, but he did not expect that they would surrender so easily.

Although Commander Leo was displeased, he knew that his lord's orders were to destroy the foundation of the Blanc Kingdom. Their main enemy was not the Helmut Kingdom or the Iron Kingdom. On the contrary, King William desired to seize all power from King Blanc.

On the other side of the border of the Iron Kingdom, all the troops have now gathered together with the troops from the Blanc Kingdom. They had heard how the king of the Helmut Kingdom had completely submitted to William's orders.

News about how King Helmut surrendered under King William's orders had spread to various regions. Therefore, King Blanc has decided to collaborate in destroying the invasion of the combined troops of the Lionheart Kingdom and the troops of the Helmut Kingdom.

Half a day passed, and one of the guards from the border raised his voice. Fear struck his heart. Instead of fleeing the battlefield, the guard decided to report the appearance of the enemy troops.

After hearing the news that the troops from the Lionheart Kingdom and the troops from the Helmut Kingdom had reached the border of the Iron Kingdom, they now prepared to carry out their war. The two commanders from each army now walked face to face with their troops.

The faces of the two enemy army commanders showed their arrogant expressions. One of their gazes fell on the figure of a man with a burly body. The desire to fight Commander Leo struck their minds.

Commander Leo's gaze turned to the two troop commanders. A small smile appeared on his face. Killing intent surged out from Commander Leo's body.

One of Commander Leo's hands now carries a sword. The sword was a large sword, showing a shape that was far beyond the height of the average young person. Commander Leo's expression showed his full confidence.

"Very interesting! You two, I will fight you while testing my current strength! I want to see whether I can fight the two commanders of each enemy troops or not."

A bad look appeared on Zack's face. Listening to how his commander boldly revealed his plans, his heart turned extremely worried.

As Commander Leo's right-hand man, Zack's job is to help his commander not to lose against enemy troops. But now the commander openly said he wanted to defeat both commanders of the enemy troops at the same time.

In Zack's point of view, he knew that the strength of the two commanders of each kingdom's troops was the same. With Commander Leo single-handedly fighting against two commanders from the enemy side, it was enough to worry him.

But unfortunately, Zack couldn't stop his commander's wishes. Therefore, Zack decided to help his commander when he was in trouble.

"Zack, you will take over our entire troops. I entrust everything to you."

Sighing, Zack bent his body slightly in front of Commander Leo. After some time, Commander Leo's figure was seen charging at the side of the two troop commanders.

The expressions of the two commanders showed their surprise. Not understanding what Commander Leo's plan was, they unhesitatingly carried out their counterattack against Commander Leo.

The three commander figures from each troops are now fighting each other. Commander Leo's body emitted a dark aura, looking as if he had completely become a different person from his previous self.

Commander Leo's expression was terrible. The current him could be said to be no different than a crazy man. A wide smile appeared on his face.

Commander Leo's killing intent engulfed the entire enemy troops. The expressions of the enemy troops showed their nervousness. Unfortunately, just when the enemy troops wanted to help their two commanders, the troops from the Lionheart Kingdom came to hinder them.

Likewise, with the Helmut Kingdom, King Helmut and his troops are now preparing to carry out their attack. Recalling how the corpses from the inner borders of their kingdom in the previous time filled them with fear.

The troops from the Lionheart Kingdom had killed every enemy troops within the borders of the Helmut Kingdom's territory. Before they arrived to attack the Helmut Kingdom, they had completely killed all the enemy troops, including the Helmut Kingdom's troops.
