Chapter 147: Avalon Kingdom (1/2)

Outside of an office, a young man knocked twice on the door.

”Enter.” A gentle female voice, filled with impatience and worry, sounded. The young man entered the room and looked at his mother, her hands clutching her head.

”They're coming. As we expected an army of monsters as well.” Relaying some bad news to his mother, the young man, Eric, sat down on one of the chairs.

A long worry filled sigh escaped Elizabeth's mouth when she heard the news. Blood sect has been attacking them many times, but only in small waves. However, lately, they've been trying to finish them completely.

”If only Arthur was hereIf only Ed was here.” Both mother and son felt sad when she spoke the second part of her sentence. Ed, who should have been here fighting with them, was gone for a long time. Arthur had attempted to look for him in the tower after one year passed but to no avail.

”They're attacking us now because father isn't here.” Eric could easily guess the reason for the large army's sudden appearance. ”It's also because Scale and Aragon's kingdoms finally fell.” The continent where Avalon kingdom was situated had three major kingdoms. Scale kingdom in the west, Aragon in the north, and Ryuu in the east. The south had the port kingdom, but it was simply a way to reach the Central Continent.

Now that two of the three major kingdoms fell to Blood sect, it could be said that the whole continent did as well. Many small kingdoms still stood in opposition to the Blood sect. Avalon and Schweiss's kingdoms are an example. However, the strongest force of Avalon, Arthur, was not present now. Their power could be said to be cut in half by his disappearance. In fact, it was because of Scale kingdom falling that Arthur wasn't present. After hearing the news, he decided to help the king of Scale kingdom, as he was a close friend of Arthur's father. Unfortunately, Blood sect caught wind of this and prepared their invasion.

”Any Immortal Establishment people?” Elizabeth asked in worry. If such a person existed, the chances of winning would be abysmal.

”Not for now. But he's there.” Eric only used a pronoun, but Elizabeth could tell who he was talking about.

”The one who cut Leonard's hand?” she still wanted to confirm it.

”Yes” Unfortunately, the answer is still positive.

”How is he?” Elizabeth was worried about Leonard. As the general of the kingdom, falling in battle is a normal thing. But, losing a hand was a disgrace. She was afraid he would do something stupid to himself.

”He's still unconscious. It was a surprise attack, and he was lucky to survive. But, since he lost the weapon Ed made him, whenever he wakes up and remembers, he keeps cursing until he faints again.”
