Chapter 180: The Armies

The City of Light.

At this moment, nearly one thousand Level Four Elves knelt before Vaelor in submission, waiting for his orders.

Vaelor looked at them happily and nodded. These were the Elves who had successfully broken through. The least talented among them possessed a mutated Legendary talent, while four Heaven talents and four mutated Legendary talents knelt before them. These were the generals.

As for directly before Vaelor, at the front of this small army, two Elves knelt.

One of them was ten years old, with black hair and calm features, possessing a Heaven talent. The other was in his mid-twenties, with crimson-red hair and confident, excited facial features, possessing a mutated Heaven talent.

These two were King Vaelor’s personal guards. Orion and Imris!

"Rise!" Vaelor raised his hand and ordered, and the Elves immediately obeyed his command.

"The twins, Lanor and Leonor." Vaelor called out their names to give them their mission, and the twins quickly knelt in response to his command...

"Your Majesty’s command!"

"I want you to take ten thousand soldiers from the Heaven Legion, along with fifty thousand from the Ground Legion and one hundred Level Four warriors, and go cleanse the Forest of Light of the Giants and complete the mission that was left unfinished!" Vaelor gave this mission specifically to the twins for two reasons.

First, the Elf Kingdom had always been led by the Light Elves, and the Elf Forest was their homeland and territory. The Forest of Light had fallen during the rule of the Light Elves, so Vaelor did not want any Elf other than the Light Elves to undertake this mission, in order to prevent the Light Elves from facing ridicule or questioning from the other clans in the future.

Vaelor imposed strict laws, but what about families among themselves and friends talking among themselves? Would Vaelor monitor all of that and punish them for mocking one another?

Therefore, Vaelor had assigned this mission to them so that they could restore their honor and pride, avoid any feeling of guilt, and prove that if they had failed once, they would return stronger the next time!

The second reason was that the other generals had missions specifically assigned to them, while this mission had been assigned to the twins because they were the two most suitable for it due to the nature of their abilities, and because they knew the nature and regions of the Forest of Light better than anyone else, as they belonged to the former royal family and had learned everything about it.

"Sedar!" Vaelor called the name of the second person who would receive a mission.

"Your Majesty’s command!" A tall young man with green hair, who looked around fifteen years old, bowed. It was obvious from his aura and expression that he had been raised in noble households.

This was Sedar, the brother of the warrior Tala and the grandson of the leader Gao, and one of the Heaven-grade talents in the City of Light.

"You will take five thousand warriors from the Heaven Legion, along with thirty thousand warriors from the Ground Legion and one hundred Level Four warriors. I want you to go and subjugate the Centaur Kingdom!" Vaelor gave Sedar his orders and continued...

"Remember, if they surrender, do not harm them. Accept their surrender and bring all their leaders to me. But if they refuse to surrender and want to fight..." Vaelor’s voice changed from a calm voice to a sharp one, and he spoke in an arrogant tone...

"If they want to fight, then show none of them mercy and remind them what hell is like!" He then spoke in a warning tone. "But if you win and enter the cities, do not harm the innocent. We want the land and the people, not killing and bloodshed!"

"Your Majesty’s command!" Sedar immediately lowered his head in response to King Vaelor’s orders.

Vaelor nodded and looked toward another Elf...

"Xylon, you will lead thirty thousand warriors from the Heaven Legion, along with three hundred thousand warriors from the Ground Legion and one hundred Level Four warriors. I want you to go and subjugate the Silent Crow Kingdom. The rest of the instructions are the same as those I gave Sedar." Vaelor looked toward a young man who appeared to be eighteen years old. His jet-black, curly, shiny hair fell over his eyes, hiding them completely.

Xylon was a young man with a pleased smile that never left his face. He had lived in the slums his entire life and survived on whatever he could steal. When the war came, he could not hide underground like the other defenseless children and youths, but thanks to his skills in stealing and hiding, along with some luck, he managed to survive.

In addition to all of this, he was the second person to obtain a Heaven-grade bloodline!

"Your Majesty’s command!" Xylon lowered his head and said with a wide smile.

"Ranos!" Vaelor called the Dragon King Killer, and he immediately responded.

"Your Majesty’s command!" Ranos bowed, waiting for King Vaelor’s orders.

"You will take five thousand warriors from the Heaven Legion, along with thirty thousand warriors from the Ground Legion and one hundred Level Four warriors. I want you to go and subjugate the Dragon Kingdom. The rest of the instructions remain the same."

"Your Majesty’s command!" Ranos lowered his head and obeyed the orders, and Vaelor looked toward the next person.

"Ethar!"

"Your Majesty’s command!" The massive Elf quickly knelt and placed his hammer, Angry Bull, before him in response to King Vaelor’s orders.

"You will take five thousand warriors from the Heaven Legion, along with thirty thousand warriors from the Ground Legion and one hundred Level Four warriors. I want you to go and subjugate the Golden Lion Kingdom!"

"Your command shall be obeyed!" Ethar immediately responded to the orders and bowed.

Vaelor nodded and looked directly ahead.

"Imris!" Vaelor called out to the young man who was as calm as a still pond, with black eyes that looked like an abyss.

"Your Majesty’s command!" Imris knelt and spoke in a calm voice.

Imris had changed greatly since the war. He had become much calmer and rarely spoke, even with his few friends. He spent most of his time underground, where Vaelor preserved his mother’s body, where the roots of life nourished her and prevented her from dying!

"I want you to take thirty thousand warriors from the Heaven Legion, along with thirty thousand warriors from the Ground Legion and one hundred Level Four warriors. I want you to go and subjugate the Falcon Kingdom!" Vaelor’s tone then turned harsh...

"And I do not want you to show them any mercy. Flatten the cities of their kingdom and capture all their inhabitants, because we will sell them as slaves!"
