The Forgotten Legend: Next Stage!!!
Chapter 424 War Criminals

Chapter 424 War Criminals.

Heaven Kingdom.

After going through quite a long journey, finally the large entourage led by Lyon had arrived at the territory of the Kingdom of Heaven. They could see the walls surrounding the kingdom from a distance. They continued on until they arrived at the gate.

During that trip, Lyon was thinking about something, Normally, after this war has passed, I will get various gifts from the royal side for having contributed greatly to this war. Hehehe, this is I am very impatient with the gift they will give. I wish I could get the spear that Isabella had. It can be added to my collection of great equipment, all for future investment.

Lyon thought of the gift he would receive from the king and queen. Now, the position of Lyon is the hero who has won this war. Just like in Reihant, he would receive gifts in the form of gold and some great equipment that came from the kingdom. Surely this will add to his wealth coffers. Out of all the gifts he had thought of, he wished he could get Isabella's spear.

It was the Light Heart Spear, Isabella's weapon that attracted her from the first glance, in terms of effects and also type, all of it was tempting. Objects that have a growth type are objects that step, and also have a price that should not be underestimated. He has to get that thing's results. Today is the decisive day. He's not patient anymore.

But, without Lyon knowing, he made a face with a grinning smile that seemed to show an evil intent that made the people who were there look at him with astonishment. Ruby and Snowly who saw it, immediately made Lyon as the subject of conversation,

"Snowly, let's see big brother, he must be thinking something bad again, we'd better stay away from him or we'll get affected, too," said Ruby who then slowly stepped back.

Snowly could not comment further nor back down. Well, it was clear his ill-intent radiance was spreading so quickly that they realized. So what Ruby thought was to get away from her. Let's just say it's a black hole that if they're nearby, then they'll be interested and can't go back.

For a moment, the entrance gate had been flooded by a sea of humans. From end to end, they had filled the place. Lyon and the rest of them immediately descended from Ardes' back, then the Ardes turned small again and climbed on Lyon's shoulders. They walked forward until they reached the gate, then went inside. The soldiers and players also walked inside.

By the time they had entered, there were many residents standing by the roadside watching their arrival. They cheered so excitedly, voicing them all. The flowers thrown at them were accompanied by a speech full of praise. Lyon just stayed there and waved his hand at them while giving a smile. The others did the same with him.

Their goal this time was to go to the palace to report this matter to the royal side, and after that give an announcement to the entire people of the Heaven kingdom about the outcome of this war. And the name of Lyon and its Guild will become even more famous.

Then, they were already in the middle of heading to the palace. At that moment, there appeared a horde of horsemen coming from the direction of the palace. Their numbers were enough to fill one street, in the middle of the soldiers there was one luxurious horse carriage which was a paper of nobility. Surely that's blocking their way. Lyon and the rest of the people simultaneously stopped in place.

Uh, what's going on?? Lyon was puzzled as to why these soldiers had arrived. Then his ears responded to another conversation which came from three royal generals who also talked about the soldiers.

"They are soldiers from the palace. Why did they come here??" gordon asked.

Liseas said, "And it was also the chariot of the king and queen. Do they want to welcome us here? But they don't usually do this. Kan, it is usual for us who come to the palace and those who welcome us from there. These are even those who come to greet us."

After that Heraces also spoke, "I feel something strange, but don't know what this is??"

From behind their conversation there seems to be something strange. The one Lyon heard just this time the king and queen intervened to come here is seen from the sign of the palace soldiers who took to the road accompanied by horse carriages belonging to those who came with them.

Eh, is this not-don't relate to my class Quest?!

Suddenly Lyon thought of his class Quest. If this weirdness were to happen and he was currently undergoing his class Quest, then all of that made sense. Means not long he can trigger his class Quest.

Not long after, the soldiers who had come started to form neat rows and opened the way for the horse carriage. Then, there was one soldier coming towards them. Shortly after being there, he spoke, "We are here by order of the king and queen who are in the chariot for the capture of an adventurer named Lyon."

""What?!""

Suddenly the atmosphere there panicked. The words of the soldier instantly caused a commotion in that place. Lyon itself was so shocked and confused by the order that he had to be arrested.

What exactly is going on? Why should I be arrested.

Just as Lyon, Heraces, Gordon, and Liseas were also confused by the soldier's remark. Heraces quickly came forward and asked him. "Aren't you wrong to give the order to arrest him?!" glanced at Lyon and turned again. "And what was the reason until he was arrested?"

The soldier replied, "According to the order, Lyon is the mastermind behind this war. He purposely told us about the Lich revival that he raised and then defeated. He intends to resurrect that Lich in the middle of this kingdom."

They're all getting confused. Heh, am I the mastermind of this war? Well, it's true that the Lich got up because it was triggered by my Quest, but right .. I was just told to defeat it. Not that I raised him either. Then, what reason would that say that I raised that Lich here?? It was that class quest that triggered that great war and exposed the rise of the Lich, but it was not him who raised the Lich. And the other reason, he wanted to raise the Lich in this place. That's so not true.

Heraces immediately turned again towards Lyon and said, "It is impossible for Lord Lyon to do such a cruel thing. All this time she was -!" His words were suddenly cut by someone who came from behind the carriage. Well, the train's door has been opened. In there shows the king and queen and the one who speaks is the king.

"Heraces, do you not know that they are just foul wits given by him" said the king.

Heraces was surprised to hear it. He turned and looked at the king. "King, is what you're saying all true?" Looks like Heraces still doesn't believe this. Judging from all the hard work that Lyon had put in, he could not believe this. Heraces needed solid evidence.

"Yes, king. I agree with Heraces, we need something that can be used as evidence that Mr Lyon is indeed the mastermind behind this war. To be honest I don't believe Lyon is such a person."

For a moment, the king again said, "If you really need proof then please check on him. He's still carrying the head of the Lich so he can resurrect."

Lyon was there instantly speechless like a statue. He recalled very well at one of the system notifications after successfully defeating the Lich, he obtained his head and automatically entered into his bag.

Now, check him out!" said the king who ordered his soldiers to check on Lyon.

"King, we've found him!!" he told the king.

It was the skull of the legendary Lich. It was clearly defeated The skull was still giving off a dark aura and both of its eyes were still burning dimly.

The king turned his gaze back to Heraces and Gordon, and said, "Have you seen him? He had indeed brought that head to this place so that he could raise that monster. Actually, I started to suspect him when I found out that the person who was telling me about the Lich's resurrection was him. He deliberately did that and canceled our troops who were traveling towards the eastern continent. He planned all of this in order to get into the palace and make a mess there, then conjured up the entire people in this Kingdom into Undead."

That was unacceptable to Lyon. He went ahead and said, "King, I never thought of doing such a thing. All of this is not intentional. I don't know about the rise of the Lich. When I did research into the weirdness of the Bottomless Gap, I found their location. So I immediately reported this to the royal side and finally heard it to your ears."

The king knew him immediately, "But why don't you tell me that directly. There must be something you want to hide, right??"

Lyon is silent again. How do I answer it. Well, where might I say that I am talking about this to you because of your cold nature that is indifferent to anything and certainly later your speech will be rejected. In the past Lyon did not tell the incident directly to the king and queen because he had guessed that they would reject it, just as it had happened to Under Heaven. So, he told their son that there was a way that they would not reject him.

But, without realizing it, Lyon has wasted a lot of time as it continues to look for the right reasons to answer it.

"If you don't answer it, then the answer is yes. We don't need to talk about this any further because everything has been answered, Well this way I stipulate, that Lyon is a war criminal! All soldiers, quickly catch the man. For the two of you, you imprisoned him in the dungeon!!"

The king immediately ordered his soldiers to capture Lyon and told Heraces and Gordon to take him to the dungeon in the Palace of Heaven. Lyon has been designated a war criminal.

Lyon also immediately received further notice of this Quest, although it is still unclear. It meant that he had to keep following his plot and let himself be caught. Meanwhile, Ardes who was on his shoulders did not accept that Lyon had been designated as a war criminal.

"You ....!"

He wanted to change to his monster mode. But before that happened, Lyon had held him back. "Mr Ardes, relax. Don't act rashly. Leave it to me."

Hearing that remark, Ardes could only fall silent unable to reply.

So, Lyon went to throw his sword up and turned it into the Flying Star Sword. Dozens of swords flew up and directly surrounded him. He was making a defense so that the troops did not approach. Sure enough, automatically the entire army instantly made a distance. The king saw him, he smiled.

"Look, he's trying to rebel. That already proved that he was indeed a real villain!"

The king's words made everyone who saw him (NPC) more convinced, they all seemed to believe that Lyon stepped the villain. They started talking about Lyon.

But on the other hand, Lyon don't care about the ramblings that come. As long as it can give time to him, then it's okay. He turned around and looked for Ruby and Snowly. In just a moment, he had already found the two of them. "Ruby, Snowly, get over here!!"  Ruby and Snowly came towards him. After they came, Lyon immediately came to give something to them.

"Now, you guys use this and find Isabella's daughter inside the palace, Snowly knows about her. You can talk to him about this and find a solution to free me. Well, Mr. Ardes, you're down too."

Ruby also received the thing that Lyon gave her. It was a special badge that could bring people in and out easily in the Kingdom. When Ruby received the badge, she asked, "yes .. but sis, is it true what they say about sister??"

Lyon just stared flatly. "Heh, you believe it too. What kind of sister are you that doesn't trust her brother ??"

"Well, Brother is sometimes not to be trusted" he replied spontaneously.

"Hahh, that's .. just talk about this and say something strange to the King and Queen."

"Mm, fine,"

Then Snowly asked, "So Lyon, what about you? Are you still going to get caught??"

Lyon just smiled and said, "Well, that's it, how else. So I'll entrust this to you."

Ardes also spoke, "Mister Lyon take care of yourself."

Lyon gave it with and immediately turned around and returned to its original place. All the swords that had become his shield, returned to being his sword again, and went back into the sheath. A moment later, he said, "Alright, I'm ready to be arrested."
