World Development System-Chapter 229

Chapter 229

****

In the castle, a lot of soldiers were fiercely fighting against Prince Lukavv and his men . There was no morale among the soldiers after not spotting their commander for a long time . While Prince Lukavv had just killed their temporary commander in a duel previously . Prince Lukavv was in full black armor with a cape which seemed to be filled with runes . He had Bow at his back while at the same time he was equipped with a Red Blood Sword which had become quite rusty . But looking at the sword you can feel that it had its will . He slashed the commanders without any sweat . It seemed as if he was releasing his anger which was bottled up years ago on this battlefield . Without using the magic he was easily able to slash the commander .

The commander was shocked that Lukavv was easily able to block his attack, "How is it possible? I am one of the top 30 men under Prince Felix . "

"I guess he never told you about me . Why do you think, he trains every day and still fears me? A mere ant like you dares to fight against me?"

Without using any magic, he used his red blood sword to reap the life of Commander .

The already losing morale of the army faced a complete collapse when Lukavv easily killed most of their commanders when they invaded the castle .

Lukavv commanded, "Go and search Felix . 100 Gold to anyone or their team who is able to find that bastard . I don't want any delay . I want him alive . That fucker aint getting an easy death . After him next will be David . "

A lot of his own soldiers feared getting near him but still followed his orders without delay as they knew his personality when he was angry .

"Yes, Sir . On our way . "

After finding no resistance among the soldiers, he left the army in Duncan's hand .

Lukavv murmured as he observed the situation and finding that his men weren't able to find Felix, He murmured, "It seems he has escaped looking at the morale of this army . It seems he didn't intend to fight me when Radiant Church was busy . Coward as always, Well Liam is still there to catch him . "

****

At this time, Duncan who was managing the men got a report from his scout who was sweating profusely, "Milord, we got a message from Source Code Elm . It seems the codes are matching . They have contacted us after quite a few years . What do we do?"

Duncan nodded as knew what source code Elm related to, He murmured a bit and spoke, "It seems Liam has finally made his move . Give the letter, you can leave . No need to concern yourself with this letter . "

The scout nodded and left, "Okay, Milord . "

Duncan took the letter and was quite shocked as he read the details which explained the conspiracy of the Radiant Church, Prince Felix and King Lionheart that took place 7 years ago . With a serious face, he thought, "It is as I feared, I guess Prince would attack the capital immediately if he hears this out . However, it would be futile against those Dragon Knights . We need a better plan . I will delay this news until Prince calms down . "

Duncan called subordinate and immediately gave orders, "Round this up and immediately set up a meeting . "

Before going, The scout reported, "Lord before that, it seems they are going to visit us . "

Duncan understood and spoke, "Hmm . . . Okay, make preparations immediately . meanwhile, I will be meeting the Lord . Is there any news from Georgio?"

The scout gave the emergency message from Georgio, "Yes, there is . Check this letter out . I can't read it . "

Duncan read the letter understood the whole situation at North-frontier, With a shocked face, he exclaimed, "Woah, it seems this count is even more aggressive than what he looked like . This is a perfect opportunity for us . Lord will be a lot more happy to hear this news . We need to use this well . " He sighed and left to wrap up this battle . "It's good that we had a good relation with Count John . This easy battle was thanks to his expertise in Ballistas . It seems he planned his moves for a long time keeping the Royal family in consideration . Good foresight, I wished Prince had such a man under his wings 8 years ago . Maybe we would have been able to save both of them if he was present to deduce the intentions . "

He sighed and left to do his duties .

****

Currently, Liam was at the castle which was currently occupied by Lukavv and his men .

A lot of men from both the sides were confused at their arrival but it was all soon solved by Duncan who knew the matters at hand .

Liam spoke as he entered the hall which was prepared for him by Duncan, "It seems you still haven't changed one bit . However, I still don't understand you, sometimes you would kill without flinching while sometimes you wouldn't even spare soul . "

Duncan flinched his brows as he heard Liam, Just as he was going to speak,

Lukavv stopped Duncan and spoke as he signaled the servant to prepare the Red Moon Wine for everyone present, "It's been a while . It seems your men are doing quite well to be equipped with those armors and weapons . So how did you fare for the last 7 years . "

Liam thought nostalgically as he spoke, "Nah, these weapons were provided by Count John . I heard he has created quite a big commotion when we traveled here . He would have created a ruckus anyway since the Royal Family fears his rise very much . As far as the last 7 years are concerned, I believe it was hard but certainly worth it . However, we did manage to fool everyone in the kingdom for the past 7 years as I started this mercenary group from scratch, It was good the Radiant Church or the Royal family didn't notice our collaboration . Did you get my letter that I sent you previously? I sent a lot of information on it which concerns your past . One of my spies infiltrated Felix's army for a long time to get this information . "

Lukavv asked with a confused expression, "Which Letter . "

Duncan immediately came and gave him the letter, "It's this letter, Milord . We just received it, I was going to hand it to you immediately but Liam arrived here at the castle as we finished cleaning up the aftermath of this battle . The Lords here are all killed . "

Duncan sighed as he gave the letter to Lukavv .

When Lukavv started reading the letter, he unconsciously leaked his aura and killing intent which seemed to oppress everyone in the hall . Even Liam who is quite used to Killing intent felt a bit nerved after observing it . Lukavv immediately roared after fully reading the letter which was related to the previous conspiracy, "They dare conspire against me so blatantly . It seems they really don't love their lives . So it seems that bastard father on mine and David were behind all this conspiracy, I won't placate my anger unless I have their heads . Immediately ready all of my armies . We are attacking the Imperial Captial . "

Duncan asked, "Milord, What about your oath to your Mother?"

Lukavv couldn't contain his anger anymore and roared, "FUCK THAT OATH . They dare manipulate me and take an oath from me after that night? That night, 2 lives were lost, one my lover and other my child . Do you think I have been chasing Felix and David for no reason all these years? They will know that even heavens would make a way in front of my revenge . If the Gods come in my way then they too will pay the price as well . These Debts will be repaid and if it means breaking my Oath, so be it . "

No one spoke until Lukavv calmed down as they were afraid if it will only anger him .

Liam knew that Lukavv would be quite angry but Lukavv had to know this . Liam too was shocked as he heard that Lukavv was going be a father 7 years ago which was never revealed until now, He asked, "You were going to be a father? Now it makes all more sense that your father and David would go to such lengths to kill her . It seems they feared to get a half-demon Royal Heir and their personal prejudices . "

Duncan knew that Lukavv won't change his mind as he gave Georgio's letter to him, "Milord, why don't you calm down for a moment and read this, this time we can actually pull out something since the Royal family are facing something which can't be reversed . We need to fully ally with John . You will understand after reading this info which we received from North-frontier town . "

Liam signaled Ed to bring in the person that was captured for Lukavv, "What do you think about this guy? This guy was a double of Felix for quite a long time . He may have some information which is related to Felix . "

Lukavv coldly looked at the double but after calming down in a while, he spoke in a cold tone, "Waste, Kill him if he doesn't have any use . Get all those officers from Felix's army to be publically violated and kill them by cutting all the body parts one by one . Not a single officer in Felix's army should feel safe even when they are away from us . They must understand the consequences of working under Felix . As far as other soldiers are concerned, Kill all of the 20000 soldiers publically with any torturous method you guys might be interested, I hope this news reaches Lukav's men and all the other Lords . As far as attacking Imperial Capital is concerned, we are still attacking them . Just with a change in plans . And yes, Spies of Lionheart will face the same fate as those officers . Those spies in the royal family will think a 100 times before spying on us . Liam, for that spy of yours, you can reward him handsomely on my behalf . His information has been helpful . So how did you get acquainted with John?"

The double-spoke hoarsely as he heard Lukavv's ruthless order, "Lord, Please forgive me, I will speak . As long as you spare me, I will also reveal all of his scandals which can be useful to you . "

Liam nodded and ordered Ed to take back the Double and other guys who were captured .

Liam nodded his head and spoke, "I guess it was a coincidence, I got related with him when I was trying to get information from the Radiant Church and their movements . It was also so that I can dupe the Radiant Church at the last moment as they are short on men because of their involvement in East with Fjord and North with the Royal family . This time, the royal family and The Radiant Church had deployed together . I think they had an agreement regarding this invasion but got a bloody nose, I guess a lot of heads will roll after this fiasco . It was quite wonderful watching the spies of Royal Family getting killed one by one in North-frontier city . I guess, The royal family never thought that most of their spies were under observation from the Ghosts . Well, its the case for most of the spies at North-frontier city . No, it's the Sky Kingdom now . "

Duncan sighed and wondered, 'This is bad . I hope Felix gets caught or else this will be a mess . '

Duncan was curious about Liam's operation this time around and asked, "How were you able to kill the reserves of Felix without getting any major damage because I know that Felix's men are not something which we can joke about . "

Liam smiled and spoke, "Well, I conned them simply when we meet them . I poisoned them in the name of a Banquet, While my men had taken an antidote before the banquet so it was not a problem killing them and disposing of them . I was quite cautious this time around when I targeted Felix . It seems he was quite scared and hence left on his own . "

Duncan nodded and understood, He asked, "This time there are a lot of suspicious movements from General Irwin and the Radiant Church . Do you have any idea? He is not someone who likes to take defeat lying down . "

Liam shook his head and spoke, "I don't know about them since most of it is secret . Not even the officers know about Irwin's plan . I guess he simply bowed to a bigger power this time around . Those Cannons are a horror for his men, Even Irwin himself was Injured with his short sword this time around . but I heard that Duke Norman has started Invading the Northern Wildlands near other borders on the suggestion of Alistair . This has also been seen by my men . At the same time, they will be pursuing diplomatic measures to get back Dolores and other areas of Baron Mendez . I wonder how would he tackle this . Maybe they will deploy Dragon Knights but they would be cautious since the Fire-abyss kingdom is looking at their movements . "

Lukavv nodded and thought as he felt nostalgic, 'Hmm . . . It seems those downgraded Ballistas were still useful to them . I guess Alistair is doing well with his strategies . '

Liam thought and spoke, "There is another news that the Royal family is preparing their Navy to sortie along with Fjord . They have sortied most of their warships this time around . It seems this is due to Dwarves who are preparing to invade the northern sea . I don't know what is going on in the Eastern seas . "

Lukavv shook his head and spoke, "No, I have a gut feeling that this is related to John . I guess it will be revealed soon . "

Liam saw Lukavv who has changed a lot since that incident when Apophis died and the same Duncan who was still loyal to him .

****

Meanwhile, Prince Felix was in rugged clothes with his knight as he watched the talisman of the commander which dissipated . "As I thought, there was mutiny . It's good that I left . Let's go . We are heading straight to Radiant City and take shelter from David . "

The Knight nodded and spoke, "Yes, I will immediately prepare for our departure . "

8 years back in Radiant City,

Like usual, Lukavv was practicing his swordsmanship with his men with a serious face

General Bruno was sparring with Prince Lukavv as he was preparing for the upcoming competition .

"Prince, you look quite happy, did something happen recently?"
