True King's Ecstasy

The whole human content was on fire because of this war. Kids lost their parents and parents lost their kids, and most of them starved because of a lack of food.

Even though top-notch were the bone who started this meaningless war, it was innocent civilians that really felt how horrible this is.

But for people in Sariya's territory, this wasn't the case. They obviously knew about the war but none of them felt hunger or fear. They felt confident that Velian would protect them.

Since their territory wasn't close to the borders of the Malfoy kingdom, they didn't face any battle yet but when the capital falls under the control of the empire, Velian knew they will be next.

"Look at this, they looked like weak abandoned animals before we took them over, now look at them," Looking at the scenery in front of him, Velian mumbled.

Beside him were Daphnia, Sariya and some other people. They were on a high-ground stage showing this is a really important event for them.

"I'm proud of your work, Veli," Daphnia said with a happy face, but Velian just nodded his head with a disapproving look.

"Not just mine, we all worked hard," His words made Sariya and others who were listening to their talk happy.

"Master, can you talk with everyone before leaving? It would make most of them happy," Sariya requested as she knew there were a lot of people in this city that looked up to Velian.

"Alright," Agreeing with her words, he went forward with a dignified posture.

Velian just observed everyone carefully before talking with them.

There were six groups orderly standing below him with an anticipating look. They looked excited and battle-hungry at the same time. Fear, nervousness and weakness were nowhere to be found in them as almost everyone looked healthy and confident.

The first squad mainly consisted of Delviny and Remi's army. Most of them were close combat fighters but they had few archers in their troops too. It was a rather strong squad which was heavily trained under the harsh punishment of Delviny so they looked more confident than most of the others.

The second squad which was led by Juno and her old man mainly consisted of beastmen. There weren't many in this army but this was highly close combat as they had next to no long-range attackers.

Even though the last time beastmen fought together with humans, Velian decided to form another group as it is more efficient.

The third squad was from the alliance. Some of them wanted to join the first squad but Velian didn't want any changes at the last minute so he asked them to fight in this group for now. This whole squad was led by Asumiko.

Since there weren't many mages, they just blended in with the first and third squads but Daphnia promised to teach most of them in future and make them powerful mages. non-close

And the fourth squad, which mainly consisted of healers and the non-combat staff was led by Lyra and Samara who is the guild master of the merchant guild.

The fifth squad was under Naomi which was responsible for the assassination and information but right now they weren't present here as most of them liked to keep their identity a secret.

The last squad, which was under Sariya was for the protection of the territory in case they got attacked while others were absent.

It wasn't anything great but most of them were skilled enough to hold the fort until Velian come back here.

The total number of this group was more than 3000.

While Velian was thinking all this, all the troops and civilians looked at him with interest. They wanted to hear their young lord's words before this historical moment.

"Good morning, my fellow citizens and soldiers," Velian greeted with a dignified smile to which everyone else just reacted happily.

Especially young girls were dying to see him again after their last meeting so when they saw his charming smile, they couldn't help but feel their hearts throb.

"This is a decisive moment in our life, Rapidclaw kingdom and Sacredmore empire are running our life with their useless war and they expect us to keep our eyes closed,"

He started his speech with a typical statement as he wanted everyone to think that he is doing all this for their sake.

Velian carefully used his words while trying to increase their motivation.

They listened to his full speech with their anger and frustration flaring up against both kingdom and empire.

"And if you guys think how our small army is going to face both these parties- worry not because you have my full support,"

His words motivated everyone and gave them some kind of confidence. They felt that they could even face against the whole world with Velian's help.

"Our lord!"

"Long live our lord,"

People started shouting as Velian finished his words with happiness. Velian was happy with this result as he wanted all these people to be strong instead of always relying on him.

Velian went back after finishing giving his speech to meet Sariya. She was looking at him with a grateful look.

"That was a great speech, master," Daphnia also nodded her head agreeing with her words.

"Thank you," Velian just accepted their compliments without any objection.

"Sariya, you should protect this city while we are away, I'm counting on you," Sariya felt happy and honoured to hear that Velian believe her so much.

"I will definitely do that, I won't let anyone harm our city," She agreed with a happy smile.

'Pete and that assassin old man, you will pay for what you did to mother and that queen who ordered everything, I will make all of you pay for your sins'

Thinking about everything that happened in the past, Velian looked at Daphnia who had a beautiful smile on her face.

"Mother, shall we go and destroy those fools?" Daphnia giggled hearing his words.

"Of course, my baby," Even Sariya felt embarrassed to see her calling baby to this grown-up boy but for some reason, Velian didn't look bothered by it since he knew she meant it in a romantic way.
