ELECTUS

Meeting what seemed to be a blind spot from any Kingdom, an area of the clear lands, very close to the forest was an area no Kingdom was near at.

Given the opportunity, they walked through that clear land which cut off at least 3 days of their travelling time.

That land wasn"t used because it was obviously to near the big forest.

Farmers can"t risk planting crops there because wild animals will rush in the scene and eat portions of the farm bit by bit everyday until the farm runs out of business.

So the Gang traveled through that clear land for 4 days until they met a branch of the large forest again.

But that Branch didn"t consume much of their time. They went through it in 2 days.

It would on average take longer but they were hyped that they almost reached the Kingdom.

So they had the motivation to walk faster.

By the time they were no less than 100 yards away from the Kingdom, Alama was already halfway there to Pameres Kingdom after striking a deal with King Michael.

What happened though, is something they did not expect.

King Michael sent a messenger towards the Gang.

The Guards after seeing large men from a distance, instantly contacted King Michael for an order of attack or basically any order at all. They were shocked by what they were witnessing.

It is not an everyday thing to see ten foot tall men. Otherwise they wouldn"t ask for the King"s a.s.sistance.

The messenger arrived towards Eric and the Gang, fearing the 10 foot tall men behind them, he was shaking while he spoke.

He said

"My King requires to know what is your business here in Gaster Kingdom?"

In war, when a messenger is sent, the enemy isn"t allowed to kill the messenger.

It would be a war crime punishable by death or 10,000 Gold Coins and the party who committed the crime has no choice but to pay or execute that one person who did the crime.

"I"m the Electus. I came here to free this town from your kind. You aren"t to enslave Ignites any longer!"

Said Eric in a rough tone while everyone else was giving the messenger a murderous eye.

"Slavery? There is no slavery in Gaster Kingdom!"

"Of course there isn"t. Am I supposed to believe that?

Tell your King to surrender or else i will burn all of you in to dust!"

"Understood!"

The messenger ran his way back to Gaster Kingdom. He was so relieved to leave the scene alive that he ran 100 yards in about 15 seconds.

"What was that messenger yapping about slavery? It is certain that there is slavery there."

Pointed out Eric.

"Last time I went there, slavery was indeed common. Maybe there is a new King there now?"

"We will find out because there comes another Messenger!"

Running towards the group was an Ignite this time. He seemed to have ran here with so much joy and enthusiasm that he was even faster than the ill.u.s.tratio who ran away.

As he reached Eric he bent the knee right away and said

"I"m King Michael. It is an honour to Welcome you here sir Electus."

"You are the King? But you are an Ignite!"

Said Commander Alia in confusion.

"Indeed i am. I remember you. Amesa!

Well a lot has changed since your last visit. I claimed the throne and slavery is not to be spoken off.

The ill.u.s.tratian alliance doesn"t support us, they have no word here.

They didn"t have word here even when you were here last time."

"You can"t be telling the truth. If Xakro found out that you have been treating Ignites equally, he would burn everything to the ground."

Said Eric.

"I a.s.sure you he knows and I a.s.sure you he didn"t do anything but sending down a few empty warnings. Gaster Kingdom is a place he wouldn"t waste soldiers on!

Please join me."

"I do not trust you. You could just be a paid fool."

Said Mogranius and added

"Right Amesa?"

"Don"t tease me about it, I didn"t need to tell my actual name."

Michael released fire out of his hand, not to shoot at anyone. But just to prove a point.

He was playing with the fire, such as forming it into a circular form and deforming it in to a more wild form and it kept changing forms as he was speaking.

"I have control over this Kingdom, i even disposed of a few rapists a few days before your arrival. Their bodies were torched out of existence.

I do not intend to threaten one of my kind but i am willing to fight for my Kingdom if it is under attack.

But before you choose to attack or not, why don"t you join me and see everything for yourself.

I"m sure that an Electus wouldn"t hurt the innocent!

And I"m sure all of you can handle 100 Guards if you are to be attacked!"

"Let"s see what this Kingdom has to offer!"

Said Woldemir in a confident tone.
