7 KINGDOMS: conquest
34. preparation for war

Noran walked into the room and locked the door, sitting quietly.

"Blacksmithing!" noran.

A red cube appeared in the air, floating and letting out a warm air.

Noran threw an iron ingot and started making other swords.

[Where -1000!]

Where Noran was reduced in making such swords, he was only able to make 6 swords in one go.

When his Mp was about to run out, he would drink the potion to recover his mana.

Several hours had passed, now before him had made 450 Rare-level Iron Sword and another 50 that had Super Rare levels.

Hundreds of bottles of potions were now scattered around in this room, Noran had not expected that he would need so many potions.

"Well... It's exhausting my mind." murmured Noran.

His mentality had been drained so greatly, his face was now pale and his body was limp.

Noran then tried to get up and walked towards the door of the room, behind the room were two soldiers guarding the room.

"Hah.." Noran's breath was irregular.

The two soldiers looked at the pale Noran, they felt panicked. Why is he so pale and weak?

"Call Duke Aaron here" Noran said.

One soldier immediately ran to call Duke Aaron, while the other soldier now helped Noran walk back to the room.

Noran stored back all those potion bottles, in this room there were only two heaps of swords in large numbers.

"Rest the young master" said the soldier.

He helped Noran to sit down, a few moments later two men walked in, they were Duke Aaron and the soldier.

Duke Aaron hurriedly headed to the room Noran was in, it was because the soldier said Noran had a pale and limp appearance.

He became so worried, what if Noran was exposed to the poison? That's what he thinks.

"Noran! What's going on?" ask Duke Aaron.

He looked at Noran who was sitting on the floor with a pale face, his body looking so weak.

"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted. Take all those weapons, it'll help your troops" Noran said.

Duke Aaron nodded, telling the two to summon more warriors to carry the pile of swords.

"Let me help you" Duke Aaron said.

He grabbed Noran and took him to the room previously occupied by Noran.

He told some servants to take good care of him and let him rest.

"Well, it's going to be a tough battle" murmured Duke Aaron.

The other two dukes couldn't possibly just be silent, they would definitely make their move.

The state of his territory becomes more and more complicated, he only hopes that fate can help him, at least save his daughter.

In the courtyard of the mansion, there were three horse carriages filled with piles of iron swords, not far from the horse carriage seen Toun was training 20 armored warriors.

...

The next day, Noran had returned as usual, now his appearance was fresh and bright.

Some of the mansion's servants greeted him and brought him some food.

Noran then ate his breakfast and went down to the first floor, it seemed like all the preparations had been completed.

"All the preparations have been completed, I will bring it to my territory" Duke Aaron said.

Duke Aaron's territory was on the northern side of the Rosvelt kingdom, with an area of 5000 kilometers.

Duke Aaron region is in a beautiful place, there is a valley that has thousands of flowers.Various apple plantations and also friendly residents.

The city of Artus is the center of Duke Aaron's territory, the largest economy and military being there.

Noran also followed them, this war caused him so he wanted to finish it too.

Duke Aaron brought his wife and daughter too, the capital is already insecure for his family. It could have been that the old fox kidnapped his wife and child and used them as hostages.

4 Horse carriages left the capital, 1 passenger carriage and 3 freight cars, surrounding them were dozens of soldiers guarding.

The capital became a scene, this was because yesterday's news shocked them, Duke Aaron and Duke Russell had declared their war.

The other two dukes had also prepared their troops, making use of their second war was a very appropriate thing.

Both would attack the losing side and take their territory with military force.

Emperor Rosvelt, his highness Roland Eavu von Rosvelt had heard this. As emperor, he held only 50% of the total power of the entire Rosvelt kingdom.

While the remaining 50% is held by the nobles. If he stopped the two dukes by force, he could have been dragged into battle and put the kingdom into a civil war.

Now, the kingdom of Rosvelt is the weakest of the 7 great kingdoms, if involved in a civil war then it can be ascertained, their enemy, the Zugen empire will attack.

"What's the general's situation?" ask the Emperor.

"The situation is deteriorating sir, the two dukes have now started their preparations. Are we going to send in the royal army?" ask the general.

The minister in the room stood up, rejecting the general's proposal.

"Your highness, we cannot send troops, the two dukes could have thought that his majesty was in favor of one of the parties.

This could get the kingdom into a civil war. Another great kingdom might attack the Rosvelt kingdom when it finds out the kingdom is in civil war" the minister said.

"But your highness, the security of the kingdom will be compromised, both are dukes, important assets of power for the Rosvelt kingdom" the general said.

"I won't send in troops, it's too risky. Send a letter telling the two to exercise restraint" said the emperor.

The emperor then left the throne room with the minister behind him.

While the general clenched his fists and carried out the king's orders.

"This is just a futile move." muttered the general.

...

Noran and his 4 party members, now riding their horses and joined Duke Aaron's army.

At first Duke Aaron told Noran to get into the horse-drawn carriage, but he refused.

It would be easier for him to fight off the monsters that plagued him on his way with his horse.

"Where are we going, sir?" ask Sin.

"We're going to the city of Artus, Duke Aaron's territory" Noran said.

"Are we going to join this war, sir?" ask Sin.

"Yes, we will join this war because I caused this war" Noran said.
