Chapter 388 Mocked King

Like any other kingdom, the Heart kingdom also has low efficiency in information networking. Usually, it will take around half a day for the information from the border to reach the capital city. Hence, King Leon tasked the Research Center to improve their information networking.

Previously, some researchers created a special kind of large distance communication device during the Monster Overlord\'s incident at the Black Fortress.

However, the communication device is too complex for mass production and could only send a one-way signal. For months they keep researching to improve their communication until Angus gives some ideas to Valeron during one of their lunches with everyone.

As someone who was living in the era of the information age in his past life, Angus knows a bit about communication technology and its importance. Using Angus\'s idea as the base, they can finally create a secure information network throughout the whole kingdom.

Fortunately, the Heart kingdom is the defender in this war. Therefore, it is easier to set up their information network from prying eyes.

They also didn\'t need to be afraid the enemy would sabotage their information network since all the devices were built at every border and major city protected by a few elite knights.

Unless the communication unit is going too far away from the border or major city, they could relay any kind of information in a matter of minutes. Compared to their previous information networking, this is a significant breakthrough.

The special room inside the royal palace is the main central communication room connected with every single city and border in the Heart kingdom. A few minutes after receiving the attack from three different kingdoms, King Leon appeared inside the room.

"Your Majesty, we received a report from Thousand Maze Fortress, Jaagarmouth Stronghold, and Thornbridge Hold. All of them are currently under attack. From our latest information, the attackers are from the Ostrax, Udrary, and Traynia respectively." reported the nearby staff.

King Leon didn\'t reply and looked at the report paper given by the staff solemnly.

After silence for a moment, "How about the Nergal kingdom? Any movement?" asked King Leon.

"No, sir. Our spy only finds they are still gathering their force on their border." replied the staff.

"Tch.. Such a distasteful move." grumbled King Leon in a low voice.

"Whose duke is available right now?" asked King Leon.

"Duke Victory and Duke Blue are currently on standby in the capital." replied the staff.

Then, King Leon once again read the report.

\'Olven should be able to handle Ostrax\'s assault soldier and Jacob also didn\'t have any problem in fighting against Udrary\'s beast riders. Both of them should be able to defend the border until reinforcements from the surrounding city arrive.\'

"Send Duke Blue towards Thousand Maze Fortress and Duke Victory to Jaagarmouth Stronghold. Then, ask our spymaster about Traynia\'s kingdom\'s current movement." commanded King Leon.

\'Now, the real problem is Traynia. A hundred kilometers magic cannon. Even if we somehow could destroy that cannon, there is no guarantee they don\'t have another same type of cannon.

\'Compared to other countries, Traynia seems to be going all out in these attacks. Did I need to go by myself? or ask some available Marquis? No, they will not help much against Traynia\'s advanced magical cannon.\'

\'Currently, there are also no Marquis staying in the capital city. It will take some time for them to prepare and go towards the Thornbridge Hold. We need at least a sixth-grade combatant to handle Traynia.\'

\'Jade is also currently stuck at the Windshire Fort and cannot move carelessly in case Nergal launches an attack. Did I really need to go by myself? But, what if another kingdom launches another attack.\' thought King Leon.

"Haa… At times like this, I really want to send those two kids to the battlefield. However, they also stuck with the epidemic matter. It will be counter-productive to ask them back now. Besides, both of them also will never agree." sighing King Leon in a low voice.

Remembering the two troublemaker kids, King Leon couldn\'t help but remember a certain woman.

After being silent for a moment, "Guess, I don\'t have any choice but to call her." muttered King Leon.

"I want the newest military information about Traynia when I get back." commanded King Leon to everyone before disappearing from the room.

A moment later, King Leon arrived at his private working room. Then, he opened a hidden deposit box. Inside the box, there is a basketball-size cube. There are some kind of small blue magical runes moving around the cube.

If Angus sees the cube, he will find the similarity of this cube with his mysterious box except there are no bluish magical runes moving around his mysterious box. Seeing the cube, King Leon couldn\'t help but release a long sigh before making up his mind.

Then, he took out a dagger and cut his palm with it. Rather than his normal red blood flow from his wound, a bluish liquid with red hue dropped on the top of the box. The moment the cube touches the bluish blood, countless bluish small runes shine brightly.

A moment later, the box is cut into two diagonally and reveals its content. Inside the cube, there is a worn-out plain bracelet made of metal. On the inner side of the bracelet, there are three unreadable letters.

The whole bracelet is riddled with countless scratches and makes the letters hard to read. King Leon could only discern the L letter in the first three letters inside the bracelet.

After releasing another long sigh, "Alright, I just need to ask for help, nothing more. Huft…" said King Leon.

If anyone looks at King Leon\'s behavior and expression, they will immediately think of him as an imposter as there is no way their bloody iron fist king is having this kind of timid behavior.

"Extalia." said King Leon while holding the worn-out bracelet.

Suddenly, the bracelet shined a little bit before dimming. Seeing no reaction from the bracelet, King Leon once again released a sigh. He knows the bracelet is actually working and already connected to its pair.

The worn-out bracelet in King Leon\'s hand is actually some kind of communication device that he found a long time ago inside the ancient ruin. The bracelet actually comes in pairs.

As long as the bracelet is worn by two different sentient beings, they can communicate anywhere in real-time. No matter how far their distance and what kind of place they are in, they always could communicate with each other.

Since the worn-out bracelet in King Leon\'s hand is working, it means its pair is currently being held by someone. The only reason there is no response from the other side means the other user has decided to stay silent and unresponsive.

Seeing there is still no response from the other side after a while, "The Thornbridge Hold is under attack by Traynia. It seems Traynia decided to launch an all-out attack against our border."

"I suspect they want to seize Sutpids Chasm which is located not far from Thornbridge Hold. I.. I want.. I mean… I hope you could lend me a hand to protect the Hold." said King Leon.

After another moment of silence, "Is that an order, Yo-ur Ma-jes-ty?" a sound was heard inside King Leon\'s head with a mocking tone when voicing Your Majesty\'s part.

Normally, if anyone dared to say such a thing to King Leon, he would personally go towards the said person and beat the shit out of them until they begged for their death.

However, hearing the familiar voice inside his head, King Leon ignored the mocking tone and even smiled for a moment.

"T-That\'s not an order. But, we are kind of short han…" said King Leon.

"Then, ask another person." said the other person while cutting King Leon\'s sentence rudely.

Usually if anyone dares to cut King Leon\'s talk, they will instantly cut it into a thousand pieces without even knowing. However, hearing the other person reply, King Leon once again released a sigh.

"Extalia…" said King Leon.

"Duchess!!" cut Extalia rudely again.

"Fine. Duchess Amberblaze, we are kind of short handed now. Most of our personnel are on the Windshire Fort. So, I hope you could help us." said King Leon.

"Hmph!! Short-handed, my ass!! Did you think I am the same as those dumbasses that are always ass-kissing you? Don\'t think I don\'t know about your new private squads, weapons, and those homunculi, Yo-ur Ma-jes-ty?!!" mocked Extalia.

Hearing the response, King Leon gritted his teeth for a moment.

"What cat got your tongue?! Or perhaps you are going to arrest me?! Torturing me? Cutting me into pieces? Don\'t worry, my palace will always welcome you, O Yo-ur Ma-jes-ty." mocked Extalia again.

"*Sigh* Lia.." said King Leon.

"Don\'t call me by that name!! You.. You have no right to call me that!!" shouted Extalia

"Fine. Duchess Amberblaze. You know I can\'t send them. They are supposed to be our hidden cards. I believe the Nergal kingdom coerced the other kingdoms into attacking us to probe our military strength." said King Leon.

"So, what?!! I don\'t care about your war-playing game. I have already done enough for this kingdom. No.. I have already done enough for you!! So, just leave me alone!!" said Extalia.
