Alex gazed at Adan calmly. In Adan's eyes, Alex appeared much more confident now…
"What is your na?"
Adan asked the black-haired young man. He had a premonition that this young man would possibly be one of the prospects of the Renner Kingdom. Even though it would be tough for a person to influence the harmony of two nations, it would still be possible judging from the person's status. There were many outstanding young people in the Renner Kingdom.
Adan observed Alex while recalling sothing.
According to the rumors and intelligence collected by the Kingsley's Kingdom Parliant, the commander of the Royal Family's most secretive and ancient Royal Fleet was also a young man, but no one knew the commander's true identity.
''Alex Touch!"
''I see.''
Adan nodded, morizing the na.
He shot a glance at Alex once more. Then, he turned around and approached his n.
"Let them go. We're heading off!"
"Sir?"
The man in heavy armor questioned.
"We can't do that. There's a high chance that these people are related to the incident. As long as we carefully investigate, we can surely find so evidence against them…"
"Enough!"
Adan let out a bellow. He glared at the man beside him and let out a hopeless sigh. He was no longer as furious as before. Instead, he appeared seemingly worried. From this confrontation and looking at Alex's group, Adan felt as if his kingdom was lacking in young talents, sothing that must be corrected.
Currently, even though there wasn't much manpower from the Renner Kingdom here, they had eminent statuses and possessed youthful vitality, and threats. Once they identified that the Kingsley's Kingdom was their enemy, how would the situation develop in the future?
In contrast, even though the huge financial groups had no lack of young talents, they were rarely put in charge. The Kingsley's Parliant was lifeless and every mber was 'striving' for the sake of gaining power and self-interest. On the contrary, the younger, vigorous group was dissatisfied with the fact that the older, conservative group only cared about their own money.
The younger group sought opportunities to overthrow the conservative group to build their reputation while the conservative group clashed with the younger group to protect their benefits. Among them, the various financial groups were completely unscrupulous to take their share of the loot.
The military was also involved and tried to strengthen their army… Currently, the Kingsley's Parliant was ununited. The senior chairman's reputation had fallen rapidly. The support he received locally had dropped to its lowest point. But even so, he hadn't given up serving another term of office… Adan felt downhearted as he gazed at the people around him… Haven't they figured out the situation?
But at this mont, Adan heard a voice that he didn't wish to hear. Not only did the man beside him not execute his order, but he also blocked him from moving ahead.
"Please pardon , Sir Adan. Your doings are tarnishing the supre honor of our Kingsley's Parliant. We will never succumb to any threat of oppression or violence from the outside world. I, as the representative of the Kingsley's Parliant, do not need to comply with the threat of those dictator's lackeys! You are the guest for this investigations team, but I'm their commander.
I will not follow your order. I want to detain these people here for interrogation. If they dare to defy, execute them on the spot!"
"You…!"
The corner of Adan's eye twitched and at this mont, Alex's stone-cold voice sounded.
"…"
Adan turned to Alex and saw that the latter raised his arm.
"But, it doesn't matter. It isn't as if I'm unprepared."
Alex placed the tip of his fingers between his lips and blew a sharp whistle.
"—!"
The crisp whistle resounded.
Figures appeared from the back of the snowy hills one by one and encircled the investigations team. The Rangers lifted their longbows and aid at their target. The warriors held shields and swords, standing solemnly. Mages in white robes behind them chanted and magical radiance flickered in their hands.
'We're surrounded!'
Adan looked at Alex with a fearful glint. He didn't know how many people had surrounded them, but it seed that the young man was well-prepared. Even so, this young man didn't release this trump card during their clashes no matter how unfavorable the situation was for him.
"I hope you will reconsider your choices, Mr. Commander."
Adan said with an apathetic tone. However, the crowd felt a chilly sensation from his voice. Terror held them like a vice-like group. They convinced themselves that it was due to the cold temperature of the atmosphere in this ice field.
"D-Do you know what you're doing?"
At this mont, the commander had lost all arrogance.
Previously, he was presumptuous as he thought that he had the upper hand in manpower. Besides, the young man appeared miserable during his clash with adan6. Even though the young man had so impressive performance, any outsiders who witnessed the battle could see that Adan was overpowering. However, he didn't know why Adan had chosen to give up.
He had about 400 people including Mages in his force, and it wouldn't be a problem dealing with these people. Moreover, he had kept a group of Cavalryn captive, so why would he hand them over just because of Adan?
But now, his thoughts had wavered. No matter who it was, no one would feel great being surrounded by fully-armored n. Besides, the other party seed to have a lot of manpower. If he continued to put up a fight, perhaps he would be the one to suffer.
Even though he was a firm activist of Kingsley's Kingdom and wholeheartedly felt that he did nothing wrong, he had to reconsider if his choices were worthy.
'But I've just spoken my thoughts. If we leave now…'
"Enough! ndel!"
Adan snarled. He knew what the commander was thinking and he wasn't willing to risk it. He was sure that the young man would surely take action if this stalemate continued!
After Adan heard Alex's na and clashed with him, he knew that he shouldn't ss with him. Previously, this young man had even crippled one of their rising powerhouses before the representative of the Kingsley's Parliant, so it ant nothing for him to eliminate another investigations team!
"Let's go! This investigation mission has ended! We should return to Kingsley!"
"… Yes, Sir."
The commander no longer refused the smart suggestion. He hesitated for a mont, but eventually took half a step back and lowered his head in fear.
Then, Alex's voice sounded once more.
"Good. It seems that you've made the right choice and saved yourself from being murdered. You should thank him for his barely working brain."
"You…!"
The man sulked and lifted his head subconsciously. However, a ghastly whiteness spread over his face the very next instant.
The two Elf girls erged before him in an ice-cold flash. They kept their daggers pushing against his neck. They lifted their heads and smiled gently before pulling down their hoods to hide their delicate, adorable features and revealing only their chins. They took a step back and vanished before their eyes in the whistling wind.
"…"
The place was left in complete silence.
The commander looked with an ashen expression. Sweat filled his forehead and he subconsciously caressed his neck. The other soldiers behind him exchanged astonishing looks. They didn't realize when the two Elf girls appeared before their commander. Their appearances were so striking it was impossible that they didn't spot her.
"Enough. Let's go!"
Adan lowered his voice. He swept a glance at Alex. He had never felt this nervous and frightened ever since stepping into the Demigod realm. But when he witnessed the two Elf girls withdrawing their daggers from his subordinate's throat, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't sense the aura, murderous intent, or movents of the girls at all.
He even had the misconception that the girls had purposely erged before his eyes. If not, perhaps he wouldn't even have noticed if they assassinated that commander.
The group from the Kingsley's Kingdom fled hurriedly with their heads down. They felt humiliated and indignant, and they had to lower their arrogant heads. They felt insulted and the honor of the Kingsley's Parliant had been tarnished. When was the last ti Kingsley's Kingdom soldiers had fled from soone?
After the incident from 100 years ago, the proud Kingsley's Kingdom soldiers had never lowered their heads before anyone. They swore that they would use their blood and lives to defend everything they had. But now…
"Hmph!"
Alex snickered watching the back of the soldiers disappear from his view. He recalled his assassins and approached Johnson's group.
Alex had rely created a misconception. His manpower had been divided to both sides and they stood wide apart from one another to make it seem as though there were countless n.
"Sir."
Johnson scuttled forward and bowed solemnly. He knew that his performance wasn't impressive today. Not only did he not successfully carry out his role in battle, but he also ended up in this miserable state. As a person who had lived in the South for almost all his life, Johnson knew that the people of Kingsley's Kingdom were arrogant and terrifying.
He was sure that Alex would surely offend these people.
'What if they…'
"I'm dissatisfied with your performances, Johnson."
As expected. Alex spoke as Johnson hurriedly lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, Sir Overlord. This was an error in my judgnt. If I had been a little more careful, this conflict wouldn't have happened. If this incident causes inconvenience for you, I'm willing to bear the responsibilities!"
"No, no, no. You've been mistaken."
But as Johnson was reflecting on his actions, Alex waved his hand.
"I don't care about that bunch of idiots from Kingsley's Kingdom. I'm talking about you, Johnson."
"Eh?"
'He doesn't care whatever happens with the Kingsley's Kingdom? Then, I…'
"You shouldn't have surrendered to their threats, Johnson. Perhaps you haven't been with for a long enough ti. But now, I want to tell you…"
Alex paused. Then, he spoke with a firm tone.
"My n don't need to kneel to the Kingsley's Kingdom."
Johnson was overwheld with emotion and couldn't say anything for a mont before hurriedly nodding, he was moved, he would go to hell for this man worthy of offering everything to.
