The Battle for Leyta

War for The Sovereignty

The next day, at the break of dawn, Dromer teleported as close to the gates of Ytrea as he could without appearing in the middle of the Kingdom's army.

'Ahh... Today will be a victory for my nation. Though, I'm surprised... The last king was still very young. Something's wrong here... I'll have to do some investigation work after I destroy them.'

The army's general, who was promoted to that position after helping Dromer save Ytrea as a commander of a small unit, saw him and commanded all forces to stand by. Then, he made his way towards Dromer on his own.

Dromer, seeing him, stood in place, as to not make the entire army immediately start their attack and possibly trample the one who saved his life once.

"Dorian! I didn't think we'd meet again as enemies!" The general said, "This is very unfortunate!"

"Ah, the commander! You saved my ass last time. Though, it seems that you are now the general of the enemy's army... Sadly, I'll have to fight you and your army for the sake of my country."

The general stopped in his tracks and said: "Yes... That's the same reason I'm here too... But, I must ask. Where's your army?"

"Ha ha ha, I don't need my army to destroy anyone who dares to wage war against me. But, if you must know, I sent them to the border of my own country and Trenice, just in case they decide to attack us while my army is away."

"You are a man of great military prowess, knowledge and skill. I see that we've lost the war already. Well, this doesn't change the fact that I plan on going down fighting."

"Yes... That's the saddening part. Well, I'll let you return to your army, get them hyped up and then watch them die."

The general nodded and started heading back to his army.

'This will be a one-sided m******e,' he thought to himself as he walked back, 'The current king doesn't understand that he's set this Kingdom for destruction... What an idiot.'

He stopped two meters away from the frontlines of his army and started his speech.

"Soldiers of the Kingdom! Today, an enemy of the Kingdom stands before us! While it is true that once, he saved the capital from certain ruin and that I fought beside him that day, don't lose face! He is but one person, we outnumber him three hundred thousand to one, literally! IN THIS MOMENT, WE ARE FIGHTING FOR THE KINGDOM! LET US GIVE OUR LIVES GUARDING IT!!! FOR THE KINGDOM!!!"

Right after the speech, all three hundred thousand soldiers let out a warcry in unison, and every single soldier started to rush in for the attack.

Dromer breathed in deeply and started a spell:

"Almighty Spirits of the realms, that rule over the order of this world, grant me your strength to defeat my enemy in one fell swoop! ETERNAL DEMISE!!!"

The entire battlefield was suddenly engulfed in green light. The voices of the soldiers stopped and the rustling of their armour and boots stopped. Once the light disappeared, the battleground was empty. Only Dromer was left standing.

'Alright, now that that's been taken care of, time to go to the king.' Dromer thought to himself and teleported to the throne room of Ytrea's castle.'

"Now then, Your Majesty. Your entire army has been destroyed, and I'm still here standing. Either you surrender, or I'll kill you slowly like the dog that you are, find the last king and give him back his throne."

Thranter, scared for his life, pleaded to Dromer: "D-Don't kill me, please! I-I surrender!!!"

"Where's the last king?"

"U-Uhhh... H-He died due to old age."

"DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT!!!" Dromer screamed at Thranter with rage, "The previous king was younger than you! TELL ME, WHERE IS HE OR I'LL KILL YOU IN THE MOST AGONIZING WAY AND BROADCAST YOUR SCREAMS TO THE ENTIRE f*****g WORLD!!!"

Thranter, now scared for his life, said: "H-He's in the dungeon!!!"

Dromer then turned around and was about to leave, when he heard Thranter rushing him. He unsheathed his sword, turned around and cut off Thranter's head in one swift motion.
