Chapter 830: Shortest Battle (Three in one)

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

 Night arrived. The camps were fully lit up. The 5 Sky Ships above the Duchy of Carmel were like 5 little suns with their shining lightning spirals.

Prince Derek roared again. The investigation system of the kingdom only said Abel had 3 Skyships.

At first, he wanted to take advantage of the speed of those griffin knights to unleash a long-distance attack on the Sky Ships, but since all their griffin knights were gone, the Kingdom of St Ellis no longer had a way to deal with those Sky Ships.

The extra 2 extra Sky ships that appeared made him even more furious.

He yelled and ran out into the night.

In the morning, 2 giant teams of troops were gathered again in the Duchy of Thunder’s territory.

Abel stood at the front of his team of knights with Blue Dragon Emmanuel, Bernie, and Lady Carrie by his side.

“Abel, Humans are so boring. Can you even call this a war? With just a single roar, they will all drop dead.” Blue Dragon lifted the grandmaster’s wine and said.

It seems like Blue Dragon Emmanuel was feeling a little embarrassed for eating and drinking so much from Abel. However, Abel was already very thankful for those griffins.

Abel asked if the Blue dragon Emmanuel wanted to come, and he said he would just watch by the side.

Abel was worried that Blue Dragon Emmanuel’s roar would hurt his own men as well. Nothing could block a dragon roar.

But maybe Abel had actually thought too much. With Blue Dragon Emmanuel’s power, he could direct which side his roar would affect.

Blue dragon Emmanuel did not insist. He would help no matter what if the Duchy of Carmel was losing anyway.

The result was set before the war even began, but Prince Derek was still filled with confidence. Confidence from his old man.

The reason why Bernie and Lady Carrie came along as well to watch the war. They were there for their own pleasure, not as representatives of their family.

The men of both sides were ready to go. They were only a few thousand meters apart. A war could set off at any moment.

“Duke Abel. You did not pay taxes to the kingdom and disrespected the sovereignty of the kingdom. Today, I represent Emperor Ambrose and declare war. You will need to pay!” Prince Derek yelled with a few head commanders by his side.

His words painted Abel as a horrible person, but everyone knew it was exaggerated. Not paying tax and disrespecting the sovereignty of the kingdom were both lies.

The Duke of the Kingdom or King of a duchy were both prestigious titles of a noble, but Abel’s identity as a grandmaster Blacksmith and a wizard was as prestigious as an Emperor of a Kingdom, perhaps even more prestigious in the eyes of knights,

“Prince Derek, Emperor Ambrose placed an assassin order on me. The Duchy of Carmel was still supplying the kingdom with food before that. The Kingdom is the one who sent out troops. Can you really say I disrespected the kingdom?” Abel did not give in. Instead, he yelled even louder.

Abel sent a shock to the kingdom’s troops. He was telling the truth. The kingdom was the one who picked the fight. Also, Abel was a grandmaster Blacksmith. His weapons were every knight’s dream.

If a knight could obtain a weapon from Abel, it would be their treasure. Abel had a crucial place in their heart; they would not do this if the Kingdom did not insist.

Since they realized the kingdom was the one who wronged Abel, of course, they began to doubt themselves. They would be ashamed of themselves as knights.

Abel was very prestigious; he would not lie in this situation. History would be written by the winner anyway.

“Abel, no need to lie. I have a personal order from Emperor Ambrose here to take back your duke title. Your coat of arms will be scrapped!” Prince Derek increased his volume as well.

His words were a disgusting trick to cause chaos for the men in the duchy of Carmel. Once the kingdom decided to take away a title, they would not take back their words.

Taking back a title took the noble management department’s approval, operated by the 3 big Kingdoms and the wizard union.

Just like the original noble family of the duchy of Carmel, there was no way the kingdom of St Ellis could take away the king of a duchy this easily without the help of other kingdoms and the wizard union.

“Prince Derek, did you forget that my domain was granted by war glory? My number in Miracle City was k3516, my total war glory is 34,477 points. My title and domain were granted for serving the human race. Do you think the kingdom really has the authority to take away my title?” Irritation emerged on Abel’s face. He couldn’t tolerate what the prince had done anymore.

Although many people knew that Abel was granted his domain because of War Glory, they didn’t know how many points he had. 34,477 was an astronomical number, enough to make the heart of every knight sink.

However, the knights from the duchy of Carmel were filled with pride. The ones from the kingdom, on the other hand, were filled with shock and chaos.

The limit of the human world had been broken. Why did countless knights and wizards risk their lives at Miracle City? For the service of the human race, but most of all, it was for War Glory.

Any resource could be exchanged with War Glory. It could turn you into a noble, give you a coat of arms. It was the basis of the human world.

If a noble with more than 30,000 points of war glory could be banished by the kingdom, was this currency of the human world still valid?

The knights from the Kingdom of St Ellis grew confused all of a sudden.

The prince did not look good. He did not expect this at all. He hoped the knights from the duchy of Carmel would be the ones in chaos, but it backfired.

Most of the powerful knights and commanders had served in Miracle City, and all wizards had served at least a few years.

In the past, the humans and the orc empire were at constant war. So Abel’s war glory had reminded them how important Abel was once again.

The kingdom of St Ellis had blamed a great hero. How could a prideful knight and wizard tolerate this?

“Abel, talking to you is a waste of time. Attack!” The Prince was growing desperate as he yelled.

He waved his hand, and a head commander next to him held up the flag of the kingdom. He ignited his combat qi and yelled, “battle formation!”

Afterward, 20,000 knights from the kingdom began to get into their formation and ignited their combat qi.

No matter how unwilling those knights were, they could no longer go back. Once a battle formation was set, they could only move forward.

“Battle drums!” Abel lowered his voice as he saw the enemy approaching.

2 head commanders began to bang on a giant drum made up of countless bones.

That drum was Abel’s spoils of war from the orc battlefield. Anyone with a strong arm could use it. It was convenient.

Dong Dong… the sound of drums emerged, and red light began to glow on every knight from the duchy of Carmel. They suddenly felt like they had endless energy and their warhorses got stronger too.

The opposite was happening to the knights from the kingdom. They had ignited their combat qi and were charging forward, but suddenly some of them had grown distracted, and the weaker ones fell off their horse.

“The orc’s battle drum!” A commander from the kingdom yelled in horror.

They had fought in the orc battlefield, so of course, they heard about this drum. Although not many of them had actually seen one, they all knew it was the scariest spoil of war.

The only thing that could counteract an orc battle drum was a dragon horn, but Miracle City was the only place with one, not even the 3 big kingdoms.

“Defence, defense!” The commander from the kingdom yelled frantically. He no longer wanted to attack anymore.

If the curse from an orc was so easy to break, no way they would spend hundreds of years perfecting it. The effort of countless elite priests had gone into making these drums.

Prince Derek’s face began to twitch. If he didn’t have a defense treasure from the kingdom on him, he would have dropped down like some knights already.

But still, he knew he couldn’t continue like this. The sound attack was the hardest to block, which was why the orc battle drum was so scary.

A white light flashed next to prince Derek. A hand grabbed him, and he vanished from the spot.

“Old man!” Prince Derek was feeling so dizzy he almost couldn’t recognize the wizard who saved him was the old man of the kingdom.

The old man was no longer smiling. Instead, he was furious.

There were no longer any men alive beside him other than 50 intermediate wizards.

The fate of the kingdom’s knights was set as soon as the orc battle drum sound erupted. It had an attack range of 5 miles, so there was nothing those knights could do.

The only ones that could flash away beyond 5 miles were intermediate wizards, and above, even beginner wizards were left to die.

Prince Derek expected a brutal fight, he never expected it to end like this at all.

“Derek, don’t disappoint me. I’ve already sent 3 elite wizards to Harry Castle. They were powerful enough to wipe out the wizard circle of the duchy of Carmel. They will bring back Marshall Harry and use him as bait for Abel!” The words of the old man sounded especially vicious.

He was a man of his own rule. He would achieve his goal by any means necessary.

If the kingdom knew Abel had an orc battle drum earlier, they would have never faced them head-on.

On the other hand, Abel no longer cared about what happens next. Those 20,000 knights and beginner wizards could not move as long as the orc battle drum continued. They were helpless against his men.

Bernie and Lady Carrie were speechless. Could you even call this war?

It was supposed to be an ultimate war for knights. The place was supposed to be breached in blood afterward. How come it had ended after just a few banging of a drum?

Although the orc battle drum could not do much to elite wizards, it was still very effective on anyone weaker. Both Bernie and Lady Carrie knew this.

The Kingdom of St Ellis had fallen in Abel’s trap. If they knew Abel had an Orc Battle Drum, they would have tried their best to maintain their relationship no matter what.

Since Abel had an orc battle drum, the only way to attack Abel was through an elite wizard. But Abel was proven to have the power of an elite wizard himself, so the result wouldn’t be good even if they won.

“Blue Dragon Emmanuel, some wizards have run. I’m worried that they will give me trouble. I’ll go handle them first!” Abel said with a smile.

“I’ll come along!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel didn’t want anything bad to happen.

“Thank you!” Abel did not reject. Blue dragon Emmanuel had told him the one who saved the prince was a rank 18 wizard. He had never fought with a rank 18 wizard before, so it was best to bring blue dragon Emmanuel along.

Abel vanished in a flash with blue dragon Emmanuel grabbing his shoulder.

Abel could see the spot of Prince Derek and the old man very well. The commander spirit had already locked them down. As long as they didn’t go beyond his 10-mile range, they could not escape.

“Abel, you have the guts to chase after me!” Prince Derek ground his teeth after seeing Abel emerging from afar.

He was not expecting Abel to do this with 50 intermediate wizards. “Derek, mind your noble manners even in the face of your enemy!” The old man lowered his voice.

The old man’s gaze turned towards the blue color skin blue dragon Emmanuel on Abel’s shoulder. He could clearly sense that Abel was a rank 15 wizard, but not that blue skin man, so he did not initiate an attack.

He was shocked at Abel’s speed. Abel was already ranked 15, and it seemed like it wouldn’t take long for him to become an elite wizard.

He began to regret his decision. What was the point of forming an enemy with such a gifted genius? He knew very well a person like Abel would leave the Holy Continent soon anyway.

But it was too late, and he had to kill Abel to save the kingdom of St Ellis.

If he let Abel escape, Abel would be an elite wizard the next time they met.

“Grandmaster Abel, becoming your enemy was the worst decision the kingdom has ever made. If possible, I hope we can settle this peacefully!” The Old Man lowered his voice.

Although that was what he said, powerful energy blasted out of his body.

Abel felt suppressed like never before. His wizard core felt stiff. It was dominated by energy from a much more powerful wizard.

He had been suppressed by an elite wizard before, but not a rank 18 elite wizard. It was unexpected.

He could not even make a spell as a rank 15 wizard, which meant no intermediate wizard could do anything in the face of a rank 18 wizard.

The old man really wanted to kill Abel on the spot, but that blue skin man standing beside him seemed totally unaffected by his suppression.

Blue dragon Emmanuel did not strike back, he was there to keep Abel safe, but he also wanted to see how strong Abel was.

Abel was not just a wizard. Wizardry was just one of his many abilities.

“Johnson, come out!” He yelled, and a black hole appeared in front of him. A 10 meters tall giant flashing in white light walked out.

Johnson was wearing the TItan armor Abel gave it. The long spear in its hand was sparkling in lightning.

“Flying Flame, White Snow, come out!” Abel continued.

He could no longer hide his abilities. If he didn’t go all in, perhaps he would be killed by that elite wizard.

The old man was shocked at Abel’s summons. He knew about Johnson, but that armor on it was clearly from ancient times. The energy it transmitted was so powerful. He was almost certain that an ancient god made it.

This was beyond his understanding of Johnson. Johnson’s ability was made public, so all-powerful kingdoms and organizations needed to know about it.

However, he never heard of such armor on Johnson. Johnson could already fight off a rank 17 wizard, but now it was even more powerful.

The old man was even more afraid when he saw Flying Flame and White Snow. Flying Flame was clearly a four-legged flying dragon, but the old man was not a normal wizard. He could tell Flying Flame was a young four-legged flying dragon.

White Snow was a little weaker, but it was still at the Holy Continent’s pinnacle of spiral beasts. It was at least neck to neck to rank 18 wizards when it comes to power.

What Abel had summoned had made the old man lose his hope. He might be able to fight off Johnson and White Snow, but he would be hopeless against Flying Flame.

Abel did not stop summoning. 9 spirit guardian knights appeared by his side. Abel had almost shown all his power at once. He put Black Wind back to the monster ring, vanished from the spot, and appeared on the back of Flying Flame.

In the face of such power, Abel felt the safest on the back of Flying Flame.

“Grandmaster Abel, you have contracted a young dragon. If you surrender, I will not report this to the dragons. If not, then wait for the dragons to take you down!” The old man lowered his voice.

“Rank 18 wizard, who are you?” Abel did not care about the nonsense that the old man had said.

“I am the guardian wizard for the kingdom of St Ellis. I’m at the back of the royal palace. It’s best if you just let go of all the knights and wizards. You can’t stop an elite wizard from escaping, especially a rank 18 one!” The old man said with a threatening voice.

“If you can make it back alive, then go report me to the dragons!” Abel said in an embarrassed voice.

“Grandmaster Abel, you are so stubborn. When the dragons find you, you will know how powerful they are. Your whole family and duchy will be burned to pieces!” The old man said furiously.

“Blue Dragon Emmanuel, are the dragons really that unreasonable?” Abel said, looking at blue dragon Emmanuel on the ground.

“Abel, power is reason. The dragons will only recognize power!’ Blue Dragon Emmanuel said with a smile. He then turned to the old man and said, “but no one had ever used the dragons to threaten someone. Old bastard, you spotted someone contracted a young dragon, and you didn’t immediately report them? Instead, you wanted to get something out of it. That’s a disrespect to the dragons. You will be punished!”

Blue dragon Emmanuel’s voice sent an unbearable shock to the old man. That was a giant dragon. No wonder he didn’t even budge when the old man just showed his rank 18 wizard energy.

“Please don’t, Dragon majesty. I will immediately report it to the dragons!” But at that moment, the old man also realized Abel looked like such a good friend with this blue dragon Emmanuel in front of him. Of course, he would have known that Abel had contracted a young dragon.

Hopelessness began to arise from the heart of the old man. If the dragons wanted to punish them, he should just keep quiet.

It looked like Abel has an extraordinary relationship with the dragons. If not, a giant dragon wouldn’t stand next to him like this. That explains everything!

“Grandmaster Abel, I’ve sent 3 rank 17 wizards to Harry Castle. You better let me go, or else I will kill your father!” The old man yelled.

He no longer cares about the knights and beginner wizards. He would be happy if he could just take back prince Derek and 50 intermediate wizards.

“Abel, 3 little rank 17 wizards are going to Harry castle for a visit? Even I’m scared of your castle!” Blue dragon Emmanuel said with a laugh.

“Blue dragon Emmanuel, if you want, next time, I’ll introduce you to it!” Abel laughed back.

He also wanted to see who is more powerful. A blue dragon or the guardian of an ancient Titan Temple. Blue dragon Emmanuel didn’t need to attack Babala when they met. Just standing side by side could roughly see their power.

“Next time, Next time!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel continued to laugh.

Abel then turned to the old man. Although he was laughing with blue dragon Emmanuel, he was still furious. Taking your opponent’s family hostage was frowned upon in the wizard world.

“Blue dragon Emmanuel, please do me a favor. Don’t let this elite wizard escape. I’ll treat you for a drink afterward!” Abel said loudly.

For an uncontrollable elite wizard like the old man, they would have a lot of hassle in the future if they let the old man escape.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already locked him down. As long as he didn’t go outside of the Holy Continent, he can’t hide from me!” Blue dragon Emmanuel smiled.

The old man felt his heart froze. He quickly scanned the trace with his power of the will, but he couldn’t find anything. Dragon Emmanuel would not lie, so the only thing he could do now was to capture Abel and threaten blue dragon Emmanuel with him.

However, Abel was on the back of a flying dragon. His chance was low.

“Johnson, look after this elite wizard for me, don’t let him escape,” Abel turned to Johnson and said.

Afterward, he sped towards those 50 intermediate wizards with Flying Flame and White Snow. The 9 spirit guardian knights also flashed and followed.

The Old man knew Johnson couldn’t move in a flash. It was way too big for it, so it couldn’t stop him from escaping the battlefield.

As he was still thinking, Johnson suddenly turned into a giant beam of light and arrived by the old man’s side.

Luckily the old man reacted just in time and ignited a flash, and reappeared 300 meters outwards.

An ‘ice blizzard’ spell then followed from his hand, and grey clouds appeared in the sky.

But before the blizzard even ran down. Johnson turned into a beam of gift again and arrived by the old man’s side and struck his long spear forward.

The old man moved in a flash again. The blizzard only poured down at that moment, but Johnson was already no longer there.

The old man realized what Abel meant by don’t let him escape your sight. Johnson was so fast. Almost no spell attack could stop it.
