chapter 23 The undercurrent of the war between the two kings is surging

Among the eight kings of the Red Dragon. King Charles, who had been in power for a decade, was among the top in strength and influence. With Prince Marshall's death at the hands of the North King, how could King Charles tolerate it? It was foreseeable that the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty would no longer be peaceful, perhaps sparking a storm of conflict between the two kings. "Liam!" "You dare to kill Prince Marshall!" A commander of the King Charles Army roared in anger. "This is my territory, Prince Marshall trespassed first and harmed my North King Army, why shouldn't I kill him?" Liam responded indifferently. Not to mention Prince Marshall, even King Charles, he dared to execute. "Big brother, why waste words with them." "Better to use them to sacrifice my sword." Brian, holding a wooden sword and smirking, made the commander of the King Charles Army sweat profusely. Not to mention that the King Charles Army only brought twenty thousand this time. Even if the entire royal army under King Charles were mobilized, they might not be able to defeat the North King Army. "Since King Charles will not command the royal army, let me do it." Liam gestured to stop Brian, "Take them all to the border." "Yes!" The ten thousand Earth Martial Realm North King Army burst forth with vigor, their spears pressing forward, and the King Charles Army did not dare to resist and surrendered their weapons obediently. A group of alchemists, Heaven Ranking, and Earth Ranking Experts all showed faces of awe. These King Charles Army and others were alive solely because of the North King's broad-mindedness towards the nation. "Lord North King, we will certainly follow your teachings!" The guests bowed again and then left gratefully. As for the elders and disciples of the Sungarde Sect, along with dozens of governors, they were escorted down the mountain by the North King Army. "Liam..." Maya was among them, her hair disheveled, her steps faltering, occasionally looking towards Liam. She wanted Liam to show mercy but couldn't bring herself to speak. "Is someone about to show compassion?" Seeing Maya's expression, Leah spoke softly. "Compassion?" Liam glanced at Maya, his lips moving slightly, "From now on, Maya and I have nothing to do with each other." No more ties! These four words pierced Maya's heart, leaving her nearly breathless, her face twisted in a bitter smile. Indeed. Given her actions, how could Liam forgive her? If she had remained faithful to their love over these six years, would things be different now? "Brother, are you really the North King?" At that moment, Lucy hugged Liam, still dazed. From the appearance of the four great Heavenly Generals of the North to the arrival of the North King Army, she felt as if she was in a dream. The members of the Calvin family also came forward, their expressions a mix of shock and delight. Owen was overwhelmed with emotions, with a thousand words but not knowing how to express them. Liam's achievements had far exceeded his expectations. He found it hard to imagine how much a lone and unsupported youth had to endure to become the North King of the Red Dragon. "I am the North King, and also your brother." Liam affectionately stroked Lucy's head and then looked towards Leah. "For someone's sake, I'll reluctantly take in this little girl." Leah understood Liam's intention and lazily stretched, revealing her graceful figure. "Lucy, to study Alchemy under a Heaven Level Alchemist?" Owen and Henry, upon hearing this, were both startled. Leah might be the first Heaven Level Alchemist of the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty. And Lucy was favored by her? However. Thinking of Liam's identity, they could only smile bitterly. The Calvin family. Will leap to become a top-tier noble family of the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty! The Red Dragon Martial Gathering came to an end. The most dazzling king in the history of the Red Dragon, Liam's true name surfaced. Liam! A young man of the Calvin family from Greene Town! North King's appearance at the Red Dragon Martial Gathering, his kingly demeanor overseeing all, quickly spread through the guests and radiated throughout the vast lands of the Red Dragon. Greene Town was first hit by a huge shock, leaving all its residents stunned. The North King, who rose from the battlefield, who in the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty wouldn't admire him? Without the North King, how many more bones of chaos would litter the northern regions of the Red Dragon? They never imagined that this king was right beside them. When the Calvin family members, under the escort of the North Heavenly General, returned to the Calvin Mansion. Greene Town turned into a hub of activity, with countless people rushing towards the Calvin Mansion to pay homage to the North King. Unfortunately, it was heavily guarded. Calvin Mansion was officially renamed North King Residence, with only the old soldier Jack invited to enter Warrick Mansion. This left the people of the town filled with regret. It's easy to add flowers to the brocade, but much harder to send charcoal in snowy weather. In these six years of decline of the Calvin family, they all watched coldly from the sidelines, and now where was their chance to connect with the North King? Meanwhile. The North King's territory of 152 counties also underwent a major overhaul. First, seventy-two governors were demoted to war slaves. Then, the remaining governors were also subjected to strict scrutiny by the Red Dragon's secret guards, and those found with blemishes were immediately dismissed and thrown into prison. This made people realize. This newly risen king, though young, also wielded an iron fist. Those who admired the North King, while excited, also harbored worries. The news of Prince Marshall's death at the hands of the North King also spread. The youngest king in the history of the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty and the decade-long reign of King Charles were bound to clash significantly. Two days passed in the blink of an eye. North King Residence. Liam was practicing his breathing exercises facing the sunrise. His blood glowed brilliantly, with six Rainbow Bridges shooting straight into the sky. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged on him, entering his body and being refined by the Six Transformation Creation Technique, turning into Essence gathering towards the Primordial Sea. On closer inspection. Liam's Primordial Sea had broken through, now measuring 40 feet square. Such a speed in cultivation was astonishingly fast. "To enter Grand Transcendence, the Primordial Sea must expand to 66 feet." "Under normal circumstances, it would take me another year and a half to break through." Liam ended his practice, his eyes deep and clear. Most Transcendents appearing in the five hundred years of the Red Dragon's history only reached the Intermediate level. Once breaking through to Grand, in all of the Red Dragon, he would be second only to the Warlord at the Supreme Transcendence level. But the Transcendent Realm was never Liam's goal. Surpassing the first emperor of the Red Dragon is only a matter of time! Five hundred years ago, the adversary broke free from shackles and stepped into the Faerie Realm above Transcendence, thus prolonging his life by a hundred years. "How strong can the Faerie Realm be?" Liam took a deep breath. The Red Dragon Martial Gathering has ended, and it's time to visit the Red Dragon Mausoleum. Liam walked towards the backyard and saw three figures busying themselves with cooking. In addition to Ellie and Lucy, Leah was also helping out. Liam's gaze swept over them, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Leah's few strands of hair were scattered, and a black stain was on her delicate face, in front of her were several dishes, too dreadful to behold. "Eat up!" Noticing Liam's expression, Leah also felt a bit embarrassed, a hint of anger flashed in her beautiful eyes, amusing Lucy endlessly. After the Red Dragon Martial Gathering ended, she asked many questions about Leah, and was extremely satisfied with this 'sister-in-law'. "I'm really afraid of being poisoned to death," Liam said with a wry smile. Leah's skills in alchemy were unparalleled, but her cooking was really not commendable. "Our North King is also afraid of being poisoned?" "If you really get poisoned, Miss Qin will surely be able to detoxify you." Ellie gave Liam a reproachful look. "Haha, Aunt Lin is right!" Leah's eyes were full of cunning. "You win!" Liam surrendered with his hands up. It's only been a few days. Leah had already become familiar with Ellie. "The meal is almost ready, go call James and the others to eat together." Ellie suggested. "They, dare not." Liam sat down and spoke leisurely. Leah was called the 'Poison King' by the Northern generals, even he had fallen for her tricks, who would dare to dine with Leah? "You child, how can you mistreat your subordinate generals." Ellie, unaware of the situation, scolded Liam again, causing him to sigh. The meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere. "My lord!" As Ellie was cleaning up the dishes, James appeared, his expression solemn. "What, is King Charles seeking revenge?" Liam looked up.
