Chapter 146: Second Arc (His Art of War) – 64. Draconis’ Convoy Arrival

Second Arc (His Art of War) - 64. Draconis' Convoy Arrival

Several days had passed, the morning sun shining shyly in Ironwall City's sky, Kingdom of Zephyrus' capital. The city condition was very crowded, some people were already standing beside the streets, while the guards spread around them. They all looked eagerly awaiting the kingdom of Draconis' convoy arrival.

In the crowd, some people who looked unfamiliar also stand with them. All of them wore merchant or commoner clothes, their eyes staring at the streets, occasionally they chatted with people around them. They were numerous, but the civilians didn't realize it because they spread throughout the city.

"You know? I'm grateful that our princess hasn't gotten married to Prince Ilex yet, otherwise Zephyrus would be in chaos right now."

"You're right. I didn't expect Asteria would be defeated by Euphorion so soon. If they were married, then the king would have to prepare for war against the kingdom of Euphorion."

"I have to admit that the king's plan to hold this engagement to form an alliance with Draconis was brilliant."

"Yeah, although he did it just in case Euphorion thinks about attacking us. But since the Peace Alliance was disbanded because Asteria has fallen, it would be better if the king immediately sought an alliance."

"You're right, even though I heard Euphorion attacked Asteria because Asteria attacked Pearl Gate City. But Euphorion could have become arrogant and began to attack other kingdoms."

"I heard the new King of Euphorion is very frightening. They say his face is cold like ice and he has a very strong power of darkness, he is also very cruel." The man turned next to him.
"You know that famous General of Asteria, General Helias?"

"Yes, I know him, he is the youngest general in the Andromeda Continent. The king of Asteria appointed him as a general because of his fighting abilities and his intelligence in leading troops."

"I heard he and his troops disappeared without a trace. Even his corpse was never found. According to rumours, he was captured and the king of Euphorion tortured him to death. While his entire army was killed without mercy."

Fear was clearly visible on the other man's face.
"I think that explains why that cruel king was able to conquer Asteria quickly. Even the famous King of Asteria submitted to him."

"There is nothing worse than a powerful ruthless king. If there is anyone who can kill that cruel king, he will be considered a hero."

"I hope that person will appear soon and give a bad ending to that cruel king."
Some people stared at the two men with unhappy faces, their hands clenched in fury, but then they just bowed their heads and swallowed their anger.

Soon their conversation stopped. Some blue military uniformed cavalry passed, followed by Prince Artheur and a blue carriage with the dragon crest in gold. The civilians' eyes were on the royal convoy before them.
"I never thought Prince Artheur would be more gallant than Prince Ilex," the man whispered.

"You're right. Prince Ilex is handsome, but he's not as gallant as Prince Artheur."

"I heard, his fighting ability is almost the same as the late second Prince of Asteria."

"You don't need to mention that traitor. I used to be very impressed with him, but it turns out he was a greedy person. Really disappointing."

As their words left their mouths, the last cavalry from the kingdom of Draconis' convoy passed them. Slowly the crowd dispersed themselves.
