Chapter 366 Vermilion Kingdom
Chapter 366 Vermilion Kingdom
Silva's army had headed into all the cities and towns, and they had massacred everyone—a bloody war with no survivors. The nobles and the commoners alike, Dukes, Counts, everyone that came into their sight was killed.
But this atrocity couldn't go unnoticed, as word of it reached the empire and other kingdoms in just hours.
And this could not go unpunished. The empire had already spread word of war, but no kingdom expected that the demons would make their move right inside the human kingdom and start obliterating their own kingdoms.
It was a low blow, but all is fair in war, and now was not the time for ethics. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
The closest kingdom to Ronan was the Vermilion Kingdom. They were certain that they would be the best after Ronan.
The King of Vermilion called for a meeting with his highest officials, men of timber and caliber. He ordered all to the castle as fast as possible.
Vermilion was a mighty kingdom, one of the largest in humanity. They were known for their immense magic and their technology that could rival the empire and the holy kingdom.
They possessed immense strength and resources, so much so that the empire and the holy kingdom had decided to keep the peace with them and see them as an ally.
They were the reason that Ronan was the way it was. Their immense development made it hard for Ronan to make a breakthrough in any regard. Their presence absorbed all the attention and resources, and as such, Ronan was left to take the bare minimum.
The Castle of Vermilion was a mighty one, towering in the capital as the largest and biggest building. It stood out in its magnificence.
It was isolated at the center of the kingdom, and a huge man-made river surrounded it, the current so fierce it could rip a body to shreds.
"Now that same demon king is on the move, and he is waging war against kingdoms. Our neighbors from Ronan have been hit, and from my informants, he has already taken Ronan to the ground.
They said he brought with him an army of creatures never seen before—over two thousand of them, each one stronger than the average evolved warrior.
And that is very disturbing, for one demon king candidate to have an army of such strength. Still, he is not stronger than us with just that army.
The empire and the holy kingdom will be preoccupied with the issues of the great war, and we are the ones closest to this demon king candidate.
There is a high chance that we will be the next he comes for, so I have decided that we will make the first move against them, using the surrounding kingdoms.
I want to encircle them in a pincer attack from the sky and from below, forcing them into a corner and taking them all out at once.
I have already sent out word to the other kingdoms as fast as I could, and I hope to get their response immediately. But before we carry out my plan, I called you all here because you are the smartest and strongest people of this kingdom.
Your input is valued. This is war, and as such, we must do all we can to make sure that the enemy doesn't defeat us.
We cannot allow a small army under a demon king candidate to defeat us," the king finished talking. He stood up from his throne.
"We all should know that this demon king candidate has killed children, mothers, fathers, and brothers—people that we might have met at some point in our lives have died in Ronan.
So when you tell me your ideas, ensure that there is no talk of mercy because there is no mercy for those that have murdered children," the king said.
