Chapter 317 - Redwings Kingdom (1/2)

The meeting had come to an end, and after the incident, not a single person wished to stop Ray and Slyvia leaving the room. The fear and power of the Redwings were engrossed in their mind. They had an idea that the Redwings were powerful. They had heard the rumours and anyone strong enough to fend off a shadow guard with only three members had to be strong.

The thought in their heads currently was that there were 5000 men in the city just as powerful as Ray. This wasn't true, of course, but this was the impression Ray was hoping to leave. The kings or queens of the kingdom weren't usually the most powerful. They were the most trusted by the people.

The people relied on their kings to make their right decision for the benefit of the kingdom. However, Ray's position was different, his was purely based on his own powers, but the other kingdoms did not know this.

News had quickly spread to the other kingdoms that the Redwings have declared independence and a new kingdom named the Redwings was born. The Empire had also heard the news but were still waiting for their messenger to return.

Ray had purposely left a single guard to head back to the Empire and tell them all the details of what happened that day.

Slyvia, Ray and the Queen were currently in a guest room at Roland together. They often used this room when important guests came to visit. It was nothing fancy, but it had a few chairs and sofas and some snacks set up by the side.

”I'm sorry Ray, now everyone knows who you are,” Sylvia said with her head down. ”It was the only thing I could think of to stop them, and the others from attacking Alure as well.”

Slyvia had planned how the Empire would act. She knew at some point that the Empire would try to get rid of them there and then if she declared the person next to her as king of the new land. At the same time, she knew how Ray would respond.

She had been with him long enough, the only thing she didn't count on was how well it worked. The war with the Empire was happening regardless of what was said in that room. The Empire had already made up their mind.

But what they didn't want happening was the other Kingdoms teaming up with the Empire and attacking them as well. Ray's display of power brought them some time and would make the other kingdoms think twice before attacking.

Right now, they wouldn't help the Redwings, but they wouldn't attack them either.

”It's okay,” Ray replied. ”I planned to reveal myself to them today anyway. I'm growing tired of hiding behind a mask and its why I decided to turn up as myself.”

”The problem now is trade, we will have to start doing our own agriculture work,” Slyvia replied. ”Our current supplies will only last so long, and none of the other places will trade with us due to fear from the Empire.”

”I know its not much.” The queen said, ”But you may take one of my men, Leon. He is the head of our agriculture department and has been working with Roland to develop some interesting things that might help you.”

”Thank you for doing all of this for us,” Slyvia replied.

”Is there no way we can expand north?” Ray asked.
