True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 300 Military



The whole city was still bustling with the people and visitors that heard the news about the demonic-like creatures and came to see them.

All the adventurers and warriors that came to participate in the tournament also stayed since they had enough quests to do in this city, so the traffic in the town didn't die even a little bit.

Just like the traffic in the city, the number of rumours also increased rather quickly showing how much people admired the battle Velian showed them.

"We can't just let that citizen go on spreading lies about what happened at the tournament!" Velian exclaimed, her fists clenched in frustration while looking at the audience in front of him.

Delviny nodded in agreement, her fiery red hair catching the light of a nearby lamppost. "But how do we even begin to tell the truth to the normal citizens? They'll think we're crazy or making it up."

"They won't! Rumours are already going around the town that Velian is the reincarnation of the hero, in the fairy tale about the demon lord," Sariya was the one to tell what others thought as she had more knowledge about those stuff than other people.

*Sigh

"They are not demons, I think they are something like genetically transformed humans," Velian tried to tell them what he thought, but no one in the room understood what genetic meant.

"Anyway! Lyra, pass an announcement telling that, we are not in danger and don't panic, also tell that all adventurers who won prices to gather at the newly built guild,"

Delviny wondered what is going to happen to their military from now on, and just like they previously decided to she had to be the head commander of the seven knights that has the authority of the military.

"Make sure, Deputy commander is a commoner, and rest you can choose whoever you like,"

Delviny nodded slowly, considering Velian's words. "And what about the other five commanders?"

Velian smiled. "We'll hold a fair competition, we'll choose the best candidates based on their skills, experience, and dedication to the kingdom. This way, we'll have a diverse group of leaders who represent all walks of life."

Everyone nodded their head agreeing with Velian.

For a moment, the whole room became silent and suddenly, Velian brought up something important.

"I'm thinking of visiting Union for a few days, But I need to use my real body this time, a doppel won't be strong enough to face whatever I am going to face,"

He knew everyone would be against this decision. And he couldn't even blame them because who would visit the enemy like this when they clearly warned him that they are planning something?

"What about Andriya? She should be coming anytime sooner to attack us, I don't think we can deal with her all alone," Lyra dropped another bomb and Velian had to agree with her.

"That's why I should be fast enough to know the secret of this power. Sure they found a way to deal with it, but can it really deal with all of them? And how many are there? We have all for of problems and to all our questions, they have answers,"

With a hard look on their faces, everyone had to agree but letting him leave all alone felt like the most absurd mistake they can make so they had to decide who is going to go with Velian.

Delviny raised her hand, but she was obviously cut off, as she had duties of the newly formed military organisation.

And other choices were Juno and Daphnia.

"Take me Veli, I can support you from far, what you need right now is support,"

"I don't know about that, double offensive is always better than defensive and offensive," Juno also gave her idea causing Daphnia and Juno to clash with each other, but in the end, their ranks decided the winner.

Daphnia was more than happy to travel with Velian, but she knew this wasn't a trip for fun, so she took it really seriously.

"Only two? Why don't you take some girls from my unit?" Juno said worried about the son and mother duo, but Velian had other plans.

"No! We will be going there as adventurers, I know a group that will help us, since they owe us some favours,"

Everyone wondered what this group was, but Delviny knew who exactly he was talking about.

"Ahhh~ I'm so bored," Kyla complained looking at the man in front of him, who was stuffing his mouth with different types of meats.

"Amos! Don't you think it's time for you to settle down with those kids? If you are thinking about me, don't worry, I was always a solo adventurer."

Kyla knew he had the desire to stay with them, and she couldn't deny that it was lonely for her without those noisy kids in their team, but she knew none of them had any obligations to stay with her.

"But-"

Amos tried to argue with her but Kyla quickly stood up from her seat and looked at him with a serious look.

"Don't hold back because of me, go back to your kids, I will be doing my work alone from now on, you should know what your priorities are,"

She tried to leave as soon as she said those words because she knew if she stay with him anymore, she will feel lonely and hesitant.

But suddenly, a girl came running in their direction and she had a really familiar face.

"Ellena! What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay in the castle for a few days and try to improve your status among the other nobles,"

Amos said while leaving his food open.

"No! I have permission, I came here to give a message," She was out of breath, but suddenly she dropped a huge piece of news on their heads.

"Lord Velian want to give us a mission, and if we can complete this, he will probably let you guys stay in this kingdom," She said with a happy smile, while Kyla and Anos quickly sat down hoping to hear the details about this interesting piece of news.
