7 KINGDOMS: conquest
201.royal meeting

the troops had moved towards the royal capital of Mecius, while Noran was currently still standing in his room.he smiled faintly looking at the red dots on his screen.

"all right, I need night practice." murmured Noran.

in an instant, he darted and jumped over the window.He disappeared in the dark of the night.

the typical black suit of adventurers that he had not worn for a long time, now he was wearing it again.

the assassins were still busy looking for the whereabouts of Noran from the roofs of the city buildings.

"why did you tell us to look for him?" ask one of the assassins.

"didn't he kill a lot of our comrades?" said another assassin.

"yes, that's right, maybe that person has angered you" said the assassin again.

"don't talk much, we have to do well" said another assassin.

Noran was standing not far behind the two, he was also wearing a mask of his own.He lightly patted the shoulders of the two, making the two turn their heads.

"hello!" noran.

the two were startled and turned their heads, preparing to attack Noran with their daggers.

"show time!" noran muttered.

two fireballs emerged from Noran's hand, the fireball growing larger with a mixture of strong winds.

shua....

the two were pushed firmly into the air before exploding, creating a scene similar to fireworks but having a splash of blood.

boomm!

all the other assassins stopped and saw if anything had happened. The explosion was too loud and flashy, sending them off guard.

at that moment, the figure dressed as a typical European male servant appeared with a thin black sword in his hand.he easily slashed and killed the assassins one by one.

the silent night turned into a beautiful fireworks display, even many of the residents and soldiers of the kingdom saw the explosions and were amazed.

everyone thought, where did all those explosions come from?

meanwhile elsewhere, Ertios and her group grew increasingly anxious.he felt those explosions would not be so good for him.

Noran and Grim then stood in a building, Grim only smilingly looking at the adventurer before him.

"sir, you made all that noise?" ask Grim.

"just a little night show" Noran said as he scratched his cheek.

"master woke up everyone in the city" said grim and smiled wryly.

"really? ah, I'm sleepy. Let's go back to the palace." said Noran.

"yes, let's go back, sir." said Noran.

when they arrived, they saw a small red bird perched on a chair.

"have you come back?" noran.

Aka!!

Faltra immediately flew up and perched on Noran's shoulder. The bird was pleased with Noran's presence.

"you did a good job" Noran said.

he took a reply letter from Faltra and gave her a piece of monster thigh.

Noran then read it, smiling and preparing to go to sleep.

...

the next morning, Lord Ertius and his group prepared to besiege the palace.Mecius had little influence compared to Lord Ertius.

there were only a few weak nobles and one strong noble supporting him.

about 10,000 soldiers have been gathered in the palace grounds, with 6,000 of them loyal to their king.

"3 nobles and generals have gathered, then where is the young man?" ask the king.

"yes, where is he?" ask the king.

"it seems to be still in his room.I saw his servant standing in front of the door." said Rater.

everyone was silent, they felt disbelief.a young man who said he would help them, could not even attend the meeting.

they wondered how the young man would help them? although it looks like he is a noble, but which noble?

there were hundreds of nobles along the border of Artenia, and there were dozens of powerful nobles.would he be one of them?

tok tok tok tok

resolute footsteps rang out, revealing the figure of a young man dressed in pure white.

"it seems like everyone has gathered" Noran said.

"yes, we are still waiting for you" said the king.

"really?" noran.

he sat down and looked at everyone, "so, what are we going to talk about?" ask Noran.

"we will discuss the resistance of Ertius and his group.we will devise a strategy and survive their 50,000 soldiers" said Salab a nobleman.

"so, we're just going to discuss strategy?" ask Noran.

"only strategy? strategy is very important in war" said a nobleman.

he was visibly annoyed by Noran's relaxed attitude, but Noran did not care about it. He had read the information of every noble in Ertius' group.

"certainly, strategy is important when fighting clever enemies, however, fighting a group of nobles does not require a complicated strategy" Noran said.

Grim went forward, he put a pile of paper into the middle of the table. Everyone took one paper and looked at what was written on the paper.

"what's this?" ask the king.

"your highness, this is information strategy is not just about organizing troops in battle, but utilizing every gap that exists.

how many soldiers are still loyal to you?" ask Noran.

"erm. 6,000 are in the palace grounds, the remaining 1,000 seem to be held by the enemy" said the king.

"hm.. How many troops do you have?" ask Noran.

"10,000 troops" said the king.

"use 5,000 to shoot arrows, and the rest to protect the archers.

close the gate but don't give any guards behind the gate" Noran said.

everyone was confused by Noran's plan. Noran got up and prepared to leave the room.

he stopped when he was at the door of the room and turned, "and also, give me the leadership of half of your army."

Noran then left the room. Grim follows him behind and asks why Noran did not put the soldier behind the gate.

"what do you expect from these soldiers? they will only be killed sooner if they do not focus on the fort's defenses" Noran said.

Grim just silent, it is true that in the words of Noran. both walked and saturates the palace complex that is quite magnificent.

Noran re-opened his screen, looking at the list of missions he had. Noran recalled still having some missions that he had yet to complete.

[mission to treat Duchess Emma.]

[mission to bring back the elf princess.]

"ah, these two missions huh?" noran muttered.

he only needed a little more time to be able to create his full level potion.

"buy these herbs and take them to my room" Noran said.

Noran gave a small note, some rare herbs and some more had powerful poisons.

Noran intended to immediately improve his Dark Alchemy.he thought, would there be something interesting if his two alchemy skills reached mastery level.

Grim nodded and went to carry out Noran's order.
