116 The War Begins I (2/2)
”Sorry I've never gotten your imaginary messages, King Harold”
Darlene knew that her father sent many messages to King Garreth and seeing King Garreth, she found no signs lying in his eyes or on his face.
”So you don't remember this?”
As he said, King Harold took out a parchment and raised it towards the direction of King Garreth.
And looking from his point, King Garreth saw the yellow parchment and asked
”What the hell is that? I've never seen that”
However before he could continue, King Harold sent the parchment flying towards King Garrenth and the parchment landed on King Garreth's hand
Opening the parchment, King Garreth started to read the contents but when he was reading, his eyes went wide in surprise and he couldn't help but look at King Harold for a moment
”He offered me half of Emir as compensation? No no it's a trick, it must be”
According to the parchment, King Harold was offering half of the Emir to Agoria including all the mines of Emir.
”Father!”
Seeing King Garreth's eyes glued onto the parchment, Jowan yelled at King Garreth.
”Do you think I'm a child King Harold? just like everything else, I've never seen this either ”
But instead of an answer from King Harold, he heard a whoosh sound as he turned to see an arrow sticking out of a mercenary's chest.
”You bastard”
”What happened! Who the fuck did that!”
The sudden turn of events shocked both sides as everyone formed a defensive formation around their respective kings
King Harold was shouting and searching for the one who shot the soldier of Agoria
”It's your last chance Harold, surrender and I'll let you live or resist and die”
”Your majesty forgive me for being blunt but we should take the deal”
General Wil insisted King Harold as he looked at his men and clenched his fist but before he could speak, another arrow was launched from his side and killed another mercenary.
King Harold's eyes turned blood red and his veins started to pop out on his forehead and he wanted to scream but he couldn't find any words to shout, he was furious and mad as hell. And Darlene was searching for the insolent soldier who shot the arrow but she was unable to find the one.
On the other side, King Garreth ran out of patience as he shouted at his men
”I wanted to settle this without shedding blood but they want this to be a massacre, so we are going to give them one”
Hearing King Garreth, everyone in his side roared and prepared for the battle. Even though King Garreth planned to use the Redland Academy name to make King Harold surrender, now he couldn't do that since King Harold had killed two of his men before his eyes. And if he continued to bargain with King Harold, Jowan's friend would probably look at it as a sign of weakness and King Garreth didn't want that to happen because showing a sign weakness could make others think him as weak.
”This is a good time for you to step in, Don”
Seeing the eight hundred or so men on the other side preparing to come at them, King Harold shouted at Don who was looking at the scene with a calm and cool face as usual.
Darlene already started to conjure the life energy and prepared to cast the spells as Arrora noticed some of the soldiers in the back of the line sneaking away from the battlefield. Fortunately for them, King Harold or General Wil didn't notice the soldiers sneaking away due to the stress and panic and Arrora didn't want to point them out to anyone so she pretended as she did not see anything.
Until now the mysterious person did not contact Darlene so the only one who could save her and her kingdom is no one but Don. As the seconds go by, she had started to blame herself for getting her family into this mess because of some unknown person.
”Hey, its that guy”
While Darlene was preparing to cast the spells and King Garreth was panicking, Arrora recognized Irvin.
”Small world indeed”
Since Arrora was wearing the magical mask and Don wore one when they met Irvin and his friends at Royal Dine, Irvin was unable to recognize both of them as they did.
However at the moment, Don was focusing on the war rather than on Irvin as King Garreth gave the attack order to his men
”Charge!”
Yet before they could take a step forward, Don leaped and landed before Korrith's army
”I will give the same offer to every single one of you. If you surrender, you'll live”
But when King Garreth and his men heard Don, they burst into laughter and even the men from Korrinth thought that Don had gone mad.And after a few moments of laughing, King Garreth looked at Don
”You must be crazy or blind brat, we are not going to surrender” as he mentioned the word surrender, they started to laugh again thinking about Don's offer
”Then you'll die”
