?Finley was currently talking with the city lord of Freyfall City through communication crystal. freewebn ovel.com

Clay, the city lord of Freyfall city, complained to his king.

Finley said he would help him fight the magical beasts and send his troops to kill them, but he did not see a single soldier from the Xiriel Kingdom until now.

Freyfall City was close to the capital.

They only needed a day to reach Freyfall City from the capital.

They even could reach Freyfall city in less than a day if they rode horses non-stop or used magic to fly.

But where were his troops?

It had been a day and a half, yet his troops were nowhere to be seen.

They should have arrived by now if Finley really did send them to help him because he called Finley yesterday, not today.

"Your Majesty, we have always been loyal to you. We also never miss paying taxes. So, why haven't your soldiers arrived yet? Are you lying to me, Your Majesty?" Clay no longer showed respect for Finley because he thought Finley did not keep his promise.

"Clay, I sent five thousand soldiers yesterday." Finley responded, "I also sent Captain Lola to help you yesterday."

"Then where are they? They should have arrived if you had sent them yesterday because it only took one day to reach my city from the capital. Where are they now?" Clay raised his voice because he could not control his emotions anymore.

He then continued, "Your Majesty, my people are dying and my city is being destroyed as we speak. Is this how you treat your people, Your Majesty? Is this all we are worth in your eyes, Your Majesty?"

When Clay was expressing his disappointment in his king, one of his subordinates entered his office.

"My lord, we have to leave this place now." Clay's subordinate uttered. "Magical beasts are heading to this place as we speak. It would be late if we did not leave now."

"Tch!" after looking at his subordinate, Clay returned his attention to Finley. "I regret it, Your Majesty. I regret it."

Right after Clay's voice stopped, the call ended.

Finley clenched his fist in anger.

'Damn it!'

He cursed venomously in his head.

'Just where are Captain Lola and the others? Did they ignore my orders?'

He was suddenly furious at Captain Lola because she had ruined his image.

Shortly after that, the city lord of Azlance City called him too.

Like Clay, Deon was also furious at Finley because he thought Finley did not keep his promise.

Due to how angry he was, he even cursed at Finley.

He knew he would get the death penalty for cursing the king, but he did not care about it because he knew his city would not be able to survive the attacks of the magical beasts.

His people were dying because Finley broke his promise, so he no longer respected Finley as his king.

After Deon ended the call, Finley looked at Asher. "Asher, send your subordinates to investigate this." 𝓯𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝒃𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Finley's cold voice rang out in the meeting room. "Find out what happens to Captain Daniel and the others. If nothing happens to them and they neglect their mission, break their arms and drag them to me."

Finley would not forgive Captain Lola and the others if they dared to negligent their missions because they had ruined his image.

"Understood, Your Majesty." After saying that, Asher walked out of the meeting room.

Finley looked at Draven and the others. "We will end the meeting now."

Shortly after that, they left the meeting room.

Finley was currently talking with Ariel Beatrice, his father and the previous king of the Xiriel Kingdom.

Like Finley, Ariel was also an awakener at the Exalted rank.

He asked his father for help because he was not confident that they could kill Ace and his followers.

"Finley, I'm retired. Why are you asking me to fight magical beasts with you? Can't you deal with it yourself?" Ariel left the royal palace and lived in a small village because he wanted to enjoy his retirement, so he did not agree immediately.

"Father, I won't ask for help if the situation is not really dangerous." Finley told his father that his enemy was a dragon.

He also said he had lost four powerful subordinates, so he really needed his father's help or else there was a possibility of them losing against Ace and his followers.

"Then ask the five big families to help you." Ariel still did not want to help. "Each one of them has an awakener at the Exalted rank, so it should be more than enough to deal with that dragon and his followers."

"About that…only the Fraser and Wilson families agree to help me." Finley told his father that the Morgan and the Steward families refused to help him and left the Xiriel Kingdom.

Ariel was furious after finding out everything. "You fool! Why did you turn stupid after becoming king? You were not like this when you were still a prince."

"Father, I suspect that the treasure is in Nightshire City." Finley suspected it because magical beasts attacked Nightshire City again.

"In Nightshire City?" Ariel knew about the treasure left by the Ruler.

When he was still a king, he sent many subordinates to find it. It was a pity that he did not find it.

"Yes." Finley responded.

"Then why didn't you take it immediately?" Ariel inquired.

"I can't do that because the Veasal Kingdom will make their move too." Finley answered.

"Tch! Why are you afraid of Veasal Kingdom?" unlike Finley, Ariel was a fearless person. "Alright, I will help you deal with magical beasts. After that, we will attack Nightshire City and take that treasure."

"Thank you, father." Finley said happily.

'With this, we have four awakeners at the Exalted rank.'

----

Twenty of Asher's subordinates went out to find Captain Daniel and the others. Ten of them went to the north, while the rest traveled to the west.

After searching for them for half a day, they finally found out the reason why Captain Daniel and the others did not arrive at the cities of Freyfall and Azlance.

Without waiting for another second, they returned to the royal palace and informed Asher about it.

At the same time, Finley was sitting on his throne, thinking about Ace and his followers.

'That damn dragon! Why did he have to attack my kingdom? Why didn't he attack the other kingdoms?'

He still did not know the reason why Ace attacked his kingdom.

'Just you wait. I will hang your head on the wall for a week after killing you. I will use you to warn other magical beasts that causing trouble in my kingdom is a big mistake.'

With the help of two big families and his father, he believed he could kill Ace and his followers later because they had four awakeners at the Exalted rank now.

'Hmm?'

When he saw Asher entering the main hall, he stopped thinking about Ace.

"How is it? Did you find the whereabouts of Captain Daniel and the others?" Finley inquired.

Asher, who was standing in front of Finley, responded, "Your Majesty, Captain Daniel, and the others have died."

"What?!" Finley said in surprise.
