The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 68 - WAR STATEMENT LETTER

“ Guards! ask the woman if anyone named Merlin” orders the King on his bodyguard from the window of the train.

“ Good noble “ said bodyguard.

“ Your Majesty, why do we stop? And who is Merlin? “ ask noblewoman wife of King Zaimon.

“ Never mind, you don't need to know “ King Zaimon as if ignoring his wife.

“ Hey, are any of you guys named Merlin?!” ask the bodyguards to some of the women who pulled over on the street including Merlin.

Merlin hurriedly tightened his hood and covered part of his face with a large hood from his coat.

The women who were called aunts by Merlin turned towards Merlin and seemed to know that they had to hide Merlin's identity.

“ Don't know, we don't know.” replied the middle-aged woman beside Merlin.

“ Hey! Is that you called Merlin! “ the bodyguard looked at Merlin strangely and asked the hooded girl in front of him.

“ Ah, who?..Merlin who?.hey aunty do you know her? “ replied Merlin turned towards the woman beside him. The woman all shook her head.

“ Ahh.You all are like fools! “ said the bodyguard by shaking his hand, then reporting back to his King.

" It seems that none of them are named noble Merlin. They're just a bunch of stupid women" the bodyguard told his king who was in the car.

" Alright, move! " the command of King Zaimon.

Finally the motorcade went back.

“ Huufftt...almost only..” Merlin looks relieved and exhales.

“ Miss, are you okay?” asked Merlin to the girl who had fallen.

“ Yes I'm fine, only my food has fallen. Thank you madam. You're so beautiful madam ” that girl turned to Merlin.

Merlin smiled.

" You're beautiful too. Where are you going, miss?" Ask Merlin.

" I want to bring food to my brother. But the King's bodyguard had just dropped her" the girl looked disappointed.

" Take this food for you" Merlin gave the girl bread and fruit.

" Ah you're so kind madam.thank you "that girl's face was cheerful again.

" Where do you live?" Ask Merlin back.

" I live around Hazmut, but it feels like I want to move to Drake's fortress, there is more comfortable, the leader is also very good.let alone there will be a war later.Hazmut kingdom must be defeated". The girl's words made Merlin startled.

" Yes, you better move in before the war starts. Your life in Drake's fortress is assured "the spirit of Merlin said.

" Well, I'll talk to my dad"

Eventually they parted but Merlin kept thinking about the girl.

While at Fort Drake, the,

The general met with an emissary from the kingdom of Nerogon. The messenger was welcome into the hall.

“ What do you want to say ?” asked the general in full authority inside the castle hall.

“ I will deliver this letter from King Rowen, please read lord “. The envoy gave a scroll of letters that had been given a kind of red wax stamp of the royal sign.

The general opened it, and began to read…

To General Luzen, the lucky rebel.

*I am King of the Kingdom of Noregon, Rowen Bosten. With this letter in your hand, I declare a war challenge for you.

If you defeat my army, then my kingdom will be yours, and you will have full control over the Noregon region, but if I defeat your little fortress, then your entire fortress and the treasures within it and the territory of Zeron shall be mine*.

You need to know the rebels, that I will deploy my entire army and my alians to make sure that you will actually die at that very moment.

The battle was fought at the next full moon, in the Leyn valley of the Nerogon region.

Rowen Bosten's.

The general was silent for a moment after reading the letter. His stern face implied anger. His jaw was tightly clenched.

“ Please bring my paper and stationery “ the General orders to a soldier next to him.

After he received the paper, pen and ink, the General began writing a letter of reply to King Rowen.

To King Rowen Bosten, the savage coward.

*I accept your challenge. But I'm going to do a little bit about the consequences of this challenge.

If you win this war, you can take my fortress and whatever you want*,

But if I succeed in taking you down and your army, then the whole territory of Nerogon belongs to me, AND you must die before me, no matter what, whether I slash your neck, or you who killed yourself in defeat, it doesn't matter, obviously I'll see you die in front of my eyes.

Prepare with my army that will leave you dumbfounded. And all you need to know is, you don't have to bother making sure I'm really dead by then, because I'll make sure you die.

Signed, King of the Black Continent, the,

Luzen.

“ Well, send this to your King! “ command of the General on the messenger.

“ Oya, who is the alliance of the kingdom of Nerogon? “ asks the General to the envoy.

“ All I know is the kingdom of Hazmut lord “ replied the messenger.

The general smiled with the corners of his lips, his eyes glaring.

“ Good then!, once attacked two kingdoms I will paralyze at once” the voice of the General is rather slow, until only Gardden and the soldiers next to him hear.

That afternoon the General said goodbye to Merlin, as he was going to the Black Continent to gather troops and plot a strategy for the war against Nerogon and Hazmut.

The general and his entourage returned to the high seas.

Arriving at the dock of the Black Continent, the General was greeted by the citizens who were around.

“ Welcome Your Majesty The King!“ all the people bow their heads.

The general looked at his friends.

“ Never mind, you don't have to do that to me.” The general told the people not to over-welcome him.

Along the way to the eastern Castle kingdom and Southern Gozan, the general received the same reception from the public.

They welcomed the arrival of the General with respect to the King, they bowed their heads before the General.

The road passed by the General and his entourage as if it was deliberately prepared for the path of a King.

The people pulled over to the edge with their heads bowed as the General passed them.

The general was uncomfortable with such a welcome.

Arriving at the East Castle, the entire castle's inhabitants greeted the General with great respect.

The general was invited to occupy a luxurious throne chair with a layer of maroon-red velvet material that has been available in the magnificent meeting castle hall.

“ Gard, do you think this is not too much? “ asks the General to Gardden before he occupies his throne seat.

“ You are the ruler of the glorious Black Continent, I don't think it's too much “ Gardden replied with a faint smile.

“ Just watch out you big muscle! “ added the General who was forced to occupy the magnificent King's seat.

Several high-ranking royal people entered the hall room, and faced the General with a slight bow.

“ His Majesty King Luzen, as is customary in the kingdoms of the Black Continent, this month is the month of celebration of gifts from the inhabitants, which is held once a year for Kings in the kingdoms of the Black Continent.

The people will give gifts to your Majesty. Please your highness is willing to accept it” one of the middle-aged men of the royal higher-ups explained.
