Chapter 218: 219: Prepare for War

The Human Kingdom Alliance had initiated an emergency meeting.

All the Kings and the important members of their kingdom and their Commanders activated various teleportation channels and traveled towards the Boundary of the Great Divide.

The Kings and Commanders arrived and all made haste towards the main hall.

The Boundary of the Great Divide was home to the Vaux Imperial Kingdom, the largest and most powerful human kingdom of the Lowlands.

The gap between the Lowlands and the Midlands had a large mountain region in between. During the great war, Saints called to the Gods present and erected this mountain region to divide the two lands and provide only one area of entry into the Midlands.

The mountain region was a cursed land that was full of poison and miasma. It was said that the Gods and Fallen fought in the great cliffs of that mountain region. This mountain region was also responsible for covering the light of the cosmic object that provided light that should further darken the Lowlands.

But the Vaux Imperial empire that was strategically positioned in the gap between the mountain regions had the most light in all of the Lowlands.

Commander Stain Bloodless said to be among the top five strongest cultivator in the Lowlands, watched as the many human kingdoms arrived. But the human kingdoms were the first among many to arrive. All kingdoms were invited to attend the Summit of Kingdoms. Even the Orcs were called.

"So these are the cultivators of the Lowlands." A beautiful woman watched as the human groups began to appear one after the other. She wore armor of great white that it appeared to be radiating. The woman was rather young. Commander Stain Bloodless guessed that this woman was barely on her twenties! 

And what was shocking was that even though this woman was a Champion, her power and purity were striking fear in the heart of Stain. 

"I knew there was a disparity... But some of the Midlands captains can already challenge your Champions here. Of course, I do not say this to spite you but to pity you. After all, I know that this desolate region can only give so much power to cultivators of the light." The woman sighed.

"I receive your grace with thankfulness." Stain answered.

"Truthfully, the best way to cultivate in this region is to walk the Path of the Dark Dependent. If I were here... I'd follow the path of Necromancers." The woman casually mentioned.

"Pr-Princes!" One of the retainers to the Princess stepped forward.

"Relax, Merik! I don't have any plans. I'm just saying that's the way to go here. The fruits of dark power and the plants here are only good for the Dark Dependent. I'm pretty sure that almost all mages in this place practice dark magic. Since all monstrous cultivators and the beasts that can be found here are Dark Dependent, the mages and energy extractors can only siphon so much light energy. I'm sure that all are half-dark-dependent practitioners. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a Champion Mage to appear in this region."

At those words, Stain's eyes widened.

"Yes. Even in this Vaux Imperial Kingdom. But don't arrest them or anything. They are necessary if you want this kingdom to prosper. So unless they become insane and are guilty of any dark rituals, leave them be." The Princess noticed Stain's expression.

"Ye-yes, your Grace!"

"Princess! Do not encourage them!"

"Oh, boo-hoo, Merik. Your fanaticism towards the light is annoying! Light and Dark are both power sources. You think that even my father would not pursue dark powers if there is no conflict in gathering Light and Dark?" The Princess scoffed.

"The Light must not be tarnished! You are the daughter of the Planes World King! You must reveal the same light he has!"

"I have to reveal the same power I have. I know how important the Lowland is as it exists to warn the higher kingdoms of possible upheavals. And here we are in the Lowlands because of another upheaval. But if you want these kingdoms to exist, they must walk as a Neutral. And that means taking in both Light and Darkness." The Princess shouted.

Merik was silenced

Suddenly, the warp pads grew a darker color.

"Oh? There are orc representatives? They are coming here?" The Princess was intrigued.

"There have been strange happenings in the Lowlands. The Airom region is strife, and we're on the brink of full war. I believe these orcs will be asking for your Grace not to interfere as was agreed upon b the vows made long ago."

"War? Both the Orcs and the human kingdoms are going to war?"

"It pertains to the many things that we have yet to report. The inability for us to operate and use our message talismans forced us to use the message arrays. And those have been abandoned for hundreds of years. In some parts, the message arrays are already destroyed. So we don't have the full details. We also invited the orc lords to tell us about what had happened and why they are moving to war."

"It seems there is chaos occurring in the Lowlands." The woman smiled.

More and more orc delegates appeared.

Dwarves also began to emerge. They were well-equipped with various armors that made them even bulkier than orcs.

"Oh? There are still dwarves here?" The Princess was amazed.

"I thought with such rich dark energy. They won't be able to find a good forge." The Princess wondered.

"Hmp. Human Commander, Stain..." One of the Elven retainers of the Princess called out.

"Be wary. Those dwarves are quite powerful. Their equipment is strong."

"How did they do that, Tathar?"

"Dark Flame. It seems these orcs have found a way to forge without the light." Tathar added.

The dwarven squad walked out. The power that they were resonating was very intimidating that the humans and orcs nearby were shocked.

All of them had armors and weapons that the elites of other kingdoms would only wear. And all of them were outfitted with heavy armor and weapons that many had never seen before.

"Dark Flame?" Commander Stain asked.

"As you know, the Dwarves that are here are from families and kingdoms that had fallen or are exiled here. So they could never return to their kingdoms and would even get any form of support from the Midlands. The reason why dwarves are powerful in the Midlands and onwards is because they have light and can create powerful armors. But now, these people have found the secret of another legacy. They finally learned how to forge according to the Dark Dependent ways." Tathar smiled.

"So it looks like the chaos in the Lowlands is much more than we accounted it to be. Those dwarves are coming here to show their stuff. They probably know about the coming wars and presented themselves here to look for the bigger buyer. "

"Prepare for war, Commander Stain. The Chaos in the Lowlands is about to explode." The Princess revealed.

"Merik. My Sword." She suddenly ordered.

"Princess?"

"War is coming. No... It's already here." She smiled as she walked closer to the teleportation pad.
