Chapter 204: Marching Off to War

Meanwhile, Vaelor stood atop one of the platforms, and before him stood seven armies, ready and waiting.

These were...

Imris, preparing to go conquer the Falcon Kingdom.

Ethar, heading to conquer the Golden Lion Kingdom.

Ranus, heading to conquer the Dragon Kingdom.

Zaylon, heading to conquer the Silent Ravens Kingdom.

Cedar, heading to conquer the Centaur Kingdom.

Orion and Valeria, heading to subjugate the War Elf Kingdom.

The twins Lanor and Leonor, heading to purge the continent of the Giants.

Seven armies — the smallest being Orion and Valeria’s army, containing only ten thousand fighters, while the rest clearly possessed more than thirty thousand warriors each!

"My liege, everyone is ready and waiting!" Ayat approached Vaelor, holding an electronic tablet with both hands, and bowed to him.

"Hm," Vaelor nodded to her and looked toward the armies, then looked first at Cedar and called out his name...

"General Cedar!"

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!" Cedar quickly knelt on one knee and shouted in response to the call, and behind him his army knelt at once, shouting the same, following his lead...

"The Liege’s order!"

"Use what I gave you and set out now!" Vaelor waved his hand, giving the signal to depart, then quickly added, "And don’t forget the instructions I gave you!"

"Your order is fulfilled, my liege!" Cedar bowed his head, then quickly stood and produced a circular disc engraved with numerous strange symbols. He immediately channeled his spiritual power through it and cast it into the air before him!

The disc spun rapidly, and soon the space around it began to twist. After several rotations, a spatial gate finally formed!

"Follow me, warriors!" After giving a military salute, Cedar waved his hand toward his army to follow him, stepping forward first and entering the gate, with the rest of his army following after him. Once the last of them had entered, the gate finally closed!

"General Zaylon!" Vaelor shouted, calling out the second name on the list.

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!"

Zaylon knelt as well, and as was customary, Vaelor gave him his instructions, after which Zaylon used the gate and departed.

"General Ranus!"

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!"

"General Ethar!"

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!"

"Guardian Imris!"

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!" Imris knelt and spoke calmly, unlike the rest of the generals, but anyone who drew close to him would immediately sense the clear killing intent radiating from him!

"Remember what I told you before — whoever surrenders, capture them to be turned into a slave, and whoever refuses to surrender, show no pity and show no mercy to anyone!" Vaelor said in a cold voice, reminding Imris of the instructions he had given him alone, unlike the others.

"Your order is fulfilled, my liege!" Imris bowed his head slightly, and once he received the signal to depart, he stood at once and activated the spatial gate array, and soon he and his soldiers departed!

"Guardian Orion, General Valeria!"

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!"

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!"

Orion and Valeria shouted together at the same time, and quickly knelt, and Orion heard Vaelor’s voice addressing him...

"You know what you need to do!"

"I know," Orion nodded his head and gritted his teeth, and after receiving the signal from Vaelor, he activated the spatial gate array and departed along with Valeria and the rest of the army.

"General Lanor and General Leonor!"

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!"

"Your order is obeyed, my liege!"

Both Lanor and Leonor responded at once and quickly knelt.

"Your mission will be the longest among all the rest, but I’m confident you’re both up to the responsibility!" Vaelor looked at them encouragingly and continued, "I’m certain this continent will be purged of the filthy Giant race at your hands, and I will always send you support and soldiers, so I expect good news before long!"

"You will certainly hear news that pleases you, my liege!" Lanor bowed his head slightly, and upon receiving the order from Vaelor, he immediately activated the spatial gate array and departed along with his sister and the rest of his army!

Vaelor looked calmly over the field before him. It had now become nearly empty, after having been filled with tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of four-horned elk beasts, which the elves used as mounts in war for their great speed, strength, and immense endurance.

The field had become empty, with nothing left but a small guard detachment, along with Ayat, who stood beside him.

"Follow me!" Vaelor gestured to Ayat to follow him as he turned and began to leave.

"Yes, my liege!" Ayat bowed her head and quickly followed after Vaelor.

After some time, before a massive palace spanning an enormous area, crowned with the symbol of a hammer and anvil, Vaelor stood looking at it for a moment, before stepping forward and entering, with Ayat following behind him.

"Bring that black iron alloy over here, we need it in the chestplate-forging area!"

"That golden copper alloy, take it to the helmet-forging area, they need it there, they’ve already run out of the previous batch!"

"Keep that ton of Arcanium ore raw material safe, it’s the only one we’ve found in the past few months of searching, move it to the refining furnace at once so it can be purified!"

One of the elves stood directing the transport of metals and their routes, but he soon noticed someone approaching from behind him and turned around at once!

"My liege, welcome, my liege of the Supreme Industrial Council!" The elf knelt at once, and the rest of the elves quickly noticed and knelt as well.

"It’s fine, I’m just making a quick round, you may all return to your work now," Vaelor waved his hand with a smile, and the elves immediately stood and each returned to their work, except for the elf kneeling before Vaelor.

"Alright, rise now, Jaco!" Vaelor looked at the elf and ordered.

"Yes, my liege!" Jaco quickly obeyed the order and rose at once, standing respectfully before Vaelor.

"Where is the production team right now?" Vaelor looked around and asked.

"Most of them are in the special chamber developing production right now, while the rest are overseeing the remaining factories," Jaco answered precisely, not daring to forget a single detail.

"Alright, then lead me to them."

"Yes, my liege!" Jaco bowed at once and gestured with his hand, leading the way before Vaelor and Ayat. "This way, please, Your Majesty."
