WAY OF AN OMEGA

78 - The Summoning

A month had passed after the Serkoff Kingdom's Emperor had announced that all North Shadow Sea People were considered as wanted criminals. Internal fights within the Serkoff Kingdom arose from anywhere in the corner. The Imperial Knights and the Enforcer Knights were working side-by-side to ensure the safety of the kingdom's civilians and at the same time apprehend any NSS disciples who wanted to cause havoc.

[A/N: Aiyoo... I shortened the word North Shadow Sea to NSS cause it's too long ah. >w<]

The 200,000 expert battalion that the Del Kingdom promised had recently arrived at the Serkoff's Territory. The battalion was led by the 2nd Prince and his Imperial Ambassador themselves showing their utmost sincerity in helping Serkoff with the war against the Aurum Kingdom. The Serkoff Emperor was touched with the Del Kingdom's sincere act of support and welcomed their troops warmly. 

The Del Kingdom's 2nd Prince and his Imperial Ambassador was treated highly by the Serkoff's emperor and was given their own Royal Palace for their temporary lodging. Aside from the Royal Palace, the Serkoff's emperor also lent some of the Kingdom's fine maids, butlers, and chefs to service them with great quality. Their treatment wasn't far off from the treatment of the Serkoff's Emperor himself. 

As the 200,000 experts from Del Kingdom entered the fray, the ego and the battle spirit of the Serkoff's warriors had sky-rocketed. It was akin to a car being refueled to full-tank after a long hard trip. These 200,000 experts are all at the same ranks with the Serkoff's soldiers but given with their trained battling skills and high-grade equipment, they are indeed far stronger from any of the Serkoff's experts. Afterall, Del Kingdom isn't going to be one of the big and prominent Kingdom if their soldiers are subpar. Given the additional reinforcements, the Serkoff's side had miraculously taken the advantage in the war. The previously captured strongholds were slowly being regained by the Serkoff's battalion and the experts from Del Kingdom. 

[A/N: You can refer to the Chapter 69... yeah 69... for background details. 69 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]  

Within the span of 2 months after the Del Kingdom's troop arrival, the Aurum kingdom had lie lowed and temporarily stopped their own soldiers from advancing and ceased on capturing the Serkoff's Strongholds. The Aurum Emperor hasn't raised the white flag yet but to the Serkoff's and Del's standpoint, the war has been long concluded. The only thing that the Serkoff's Kingdom worries the most are the internal strife that were instigated by the NSS people. 

The problem with the NSS is way harder than the war itself. Aside from those NSS disciples who were long known by the public, there are NSS disciples that are adapted in blending with the other innocent civilians of the Kingdom and finding them would be as hard as finding a needle from a large haystack. The best examples of these NSS spies were Juno and his company and some of the high-ranking elders in the Imperial Palace that was caught by surprise by the Imperial Knights. Over the long run, these NSS disciples had also lie lowed and without doing anything flashy, the Kingdom's enforcers won't be able to identify whose who. This situation made the Serkoff's Emperor far more anxious and cautious.

In one of the Royal Palace owned by the Serkoff Kingdom, there are two people sitting oppositely at each other in a wide-open veranda. One of them had a long ginger hair tied up in a ponytail and his phoenix eyes give off a hint of fierceness and masculinity. His green emerald eyes were serenely fixated on the horizon. Opposite of him is a lean man with a ragged eyebrow and sharp black eyes, similarly, he was looking over to where the emerald-eyed man is looking at.

"Your Highness... Do you still not wish to come back home? The war seems to be long over by now." The ragged-eyebrow man turned his head and stared at the emerald-eyed man.
