Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
The Night of Massacre
The trial was finally conducted by a royal judge to the kidnapping suspects totaling 15 people. Based on their mistakes, all of them would be put to death according to the mistakes they made. No one held back. A week after the verdict was given, they were all beheaded by the royal executioner.
"Hohhhh. It's unfortunate that they died, but since they're just small pawns, is that okay? Utilizing small crumbs like them did not make the empire crumble."
Arch Savoy laughed when he saw some of his men put to death. He has no regrets. Wh-wh-what for? They're just pawns. But he will make sure their deaths are in vain because the collision played a crucial part in his plan.
He had sent an envoy, who he knew was going to reject him immediately, to free the criminals. And in the end, he had declared war with the kingdom.
A total of 50,000 troops were deployed to attack the kingdom. A large cannon that shot once can shake an area like an earthquake is used to pound the defense of the Northern region of the kingdom.
"As usual you use them for ambition huh, Mr. Arch. You're totally nuts!"
Savoy's laughter exploded upon hearing the complaints from his subordinates. He was a great knight with a great sword hanging behind his back.
It is actually not appropriate to say knight because he is a mercenary. More specifically the ex. Savoy paid dearly for his reputation in extraordinary warfare. He could fight 100 enemy knights alone and come out unharmed.
His name is Giovanni. A mercenary with unparalleled training and experience. He is a very good swordsman. Countless people had died at his hands.
"You need to get Giovanni ready. I heard the royal army has good qualities. They are trained hard. Be careful with them. Including the magenya."
This time it was Giovanni's turn to laugh. Not only knights, he had also killed many mages. This matter was definitely not something that was difficult for him.
"Hahaha they're just small fries! I just have to slash them with my sword right!? No matter who that person is, I will crush the person who dares to fight me!"
"Indeed like that. All right, I'm handing this to you. Slaughter every enemy you meet. Tonight we're gonna make a raid."
That's not bullshit. His troops were already moving to the border and ready to carry out a siege at night. Giovanni leaves and Savoy rides in Sofanya.

Later that night, 50,000 plus 20,000 volunteers and 1000 mercenaries walked towards the northern border defensive wall of the kingdom. After enough rest and food, they were ready for an all-out war.
But what they don't realize, this will be their last meal because after this, they will be asleep forever. It was because exactly one kilometer before they reached the border, a wave that emitted an enormous killing aura struck them.
They don't know what it is. But what they understood, it was likely that they would face an extremely dangerous enemy. All the soldiers prepared themselves and the witches began to cast their spells.
"Hohhhh...What do these hordes of rats do at night? Are you looking for food? Then it's a pity, because the food stored in the warehouse shouldn't be touched by disease like you."
A voice echoed from the night sky. Their bodies trembled when they heard that voice and could not move. Suddenly, a wave of attacks struck them and made the frontline become like flying feathers.
"Fuck! What was that!?"
"Ware!! The vanguard is destroyed!! 1000 People are estimated to have died!!"
Due to the surprise attack, Chaos struck the other ranks. All units are confused.
"You're all destined to die tonight."
The second wave of attacks came. This time they were better prepared. The mages had formed a barrier to repel the wave. But in vain, their barrier was no match for the wave and the mages became victims. Now 2,000 people have died.
Amidst the smell of blood scattered in the sky, a young man emerged from the darkness. He wore a caping and the bottom of his face was covered by a crow mask.
His fiery red eyes looked at all of Savoy's forces with an extremely powerful killing intent. After that, he snapped his finger. A golden-colored flame lit up and spread throughout the entire army. But he held back. It's not exciting if everyone dies in one attack.
After burning 10,000 troops, the young man broke through the enemy's defenses alone. The commander asked his soldiers to come forward as well. But this is not their problem sooner or later. As fast as they move, everything will still die.
The youth and the horde of troops collided. The heads flew away for a moment. Blood splattered on the ground followed by their heads falling to the ground.
The cries of war continue to be modest. Yet no matter how many times they advanced and attacked, their weapons would never touch that person. But fortunately, the hero has come out.
"Yahoo!!! MOVE ON!!"
TANGGG!!! the great sword of the former mercenary, collided with that person's sword. Hohh...he can withstand my attack? How interesting!!
Giovanni retreated and took some distance. All the soldiers decided to stay away from them but the mysterious person did not let that happen. The ground that the soldiers trampled into a thorn pierced the hearts of all of them. It didn't take long, half the army was wiped out without any signs of life.
Giovanni then raised his sword high and slid towards his opponent. Although her body was large, her movements were extremely nimble and her body was elastic.
His great sword managed to slash at the mysterious person, but it was just his delusion. On the other hand, that fellow managed to dodge his attacks easily. But Giovanni is not finished. He drew his sword in all directions.
And the man continued to easily dodge his attacks until emotions completely filled Giovanni's mind. His opponent was clearly not serious and boredom was visible from his eyes.
It was the first time I was played like this! With a burning rage, Giovanni attacked blindly. But his opponent eventually gave up.
"I'm sorry but I don't have time to play."
That person nimbly advanced to Giovanni who opened many gaps. Despite the shock, Giovanni could do nothing and his chest was gripped.
A groan of pain escaped from his mouth. That person pierced through his chest which was coated by Mithril's armor and pierced through his body with his bare hands then plucked out his heart. Giovanni died with his heart torn off without knowing the identity of his enemy.
Successfully killing Giovanni, a deep purple skull came out from his palm. Not having time to be confused, the lives of the soldiers came out of their bodies and into the skull.
All the troops are dead. The man removed the skull head and let it go to the center of the Savoy region. Maybe tomorrow, news of the chaos in Savoy will spread.
