Llyne kingdom;
In the early morning, stretching from the wild zone of Llyne kingdom, passing through the Eldershore shore region and to the wild zone of Zuweth kingdom, two million players are waiting for the sun to rise and receive the signal to start the war.
Along with players, hundreds of camp tents were placed, especially in Zuweth's wild zone region where the soldiers of both the kingdoms were being stationed.
Well, now that the Llyne was under Zuweth, they didn't need the feel to be wary of each other either.
Llyne's current governor, Rikilda Llyne, and Zuweth's King Ballista Zuweth, along with the three remaining princes of Zuweth are sitting in a tent, having a discussion.
"Father, We have an overwhelming number on our side. We also have Princess Llyne's and her army's support. Why aren't we exiling our brother's killer?" The crown prince asked the King. "He only has around 13000 soldiers and that too, a mere one general. Surely, we can afford that while we fight against Evelon."
The whole royal family hates Wil for killing their brother.
They expected their father, the King to take action against him. But neither did he put a bounty on Wil and neither did he do anything even after acquiring the Llyne. Instead, he kept his official post as it is.
"Crown Prince Vegarus…" The King spoke loudly, making everyone flinch in surprise. "If you were to behave this way, how am I supposed to hand over everything to you, in the future?"
Everyone saw the expression on the King doesn't look good. He appeared displeased with his son.
"Tell me, who am I?" The King asked him.
"Our father…" He dumbly replied.
The King narrowed his eyes. The Crown Prince then said, "You are the King…"
"King?" He frowned at his son's answer.
Rikilda then answered in his son's place, "you are the future Emperor, your majesty."
Zuweth's king smiled and nodded as he was satisfied with her answer. "That's right. I'm the Future Emperor. If you realize that, instead of trying to question the motives of an Emperor, try to think the reasoning for his actions."
"I apologize, father." The Crown Prince then requested him to clear his doubts as he wasn't able to understand his reasoning.
"Very well, then listen carefully… Who is Prince Time Traveler? He's late King Mirella's only younger brother and the former Crown prince. He's also a firm supporter of her. According to princess Llyne, Mirella was also quite fond of him.
Even after becoming the Queen, Princess Llyne doesn't have the Imperial sword. Do you know what that means?"
The Crown Prince shook his head.
"Without the imperial sword, one cannot become the true ruler of a kingdom and the Imperial sword can only be inherited from the previous holder," Rikilda answered with seriousness. "I bet Mirella has passed down it to my nephew."
"And the moment Prince Time Traveler revealed the Imperial sword and challenge the throne, the native soldiers, Royal knights, and Generals will have no choice but to either follow him or become a rebel under Princess Llyne." The King then asked, "now, imagine. What if I exiled him from the kingdom?"
This time, it was the second prince's turn, "If we consider half of Llyne's forces to follow him. Combining his army of 13000, he would have at least 30-35000 military strength, and if he goes to Evelon and ally with them…"
Their eyes widened upon realization.
The King nodded, "that's right. The situation will be reversed in an instant. Even if we win, we would incur huge losses. How do you think I will manage three kingdoms, then?"
Everyone became silent, especially the Princes. Previously, even though they voiced out their doubts, internally, they agreed with the Crown Prince's opinion.
Now that they heard it, they felt how serious the matter can escalate. However, another doubt started hovering in their head.
"Father, if that's the case, then, why hadn't he taken the action?" The Crown Prince asked. Even Rikilda was also having the same doubt. She looked at the king for the answer.
The King smiled, "he isn't a native. How would an otherworlder like him know everything about the Imperial sword? He probably thinks that he only 13000 soldiers.
This is the reason he lent you the gold coins in exchange for absolute authority in the Eldershore region. In this period, he probably was strengthening his army. So, we can expect his army grew by another four to five thousand at the minimum.
It also made me wonder whether he is the real thief who stole the gold coins and returned you 500 thousand."
Rikilda shook her head firmly, "No, that's not possible. If he is really the one who emptied the treasury, then, he wouldn't return me some of it to maintain order. As long as he can wait, the kingdom would have been sent into chaos, and then, taking advantage of the situation, he can cause the rebellion."
The King shrugged his shoulders, "either way, if he does really have the Imperial sword, he will attack once the war is over when we put our guard down.
If he hasn't, then, I was wrong about him and we can proceed with punishing him by throwing him in a prison, right away."
Meanwhile, at the Eldershore border;
Dozens of guilds, tens of thousands of people are arriving as the sun is slowly rising in the sky.
Hydra, Bloodsuns, Brothers, The Horde, GenX, Vulture, Scarlet-A, and Scarlet-B, and the other small guilds, one by one, with their entire force arrived at their destination.
The remaining top guilds of Llyne were stationed in the wild zone. Starlight and his three thousand soldiers also joined them.
There are only a little over five hundred members in the Vulture guild who arrived at the battlefield and yet, everyone's focus on them, or rather, the one leading them like a puppet without any expressions.
As people inspected his stats that show his name and level, they were impressed. They know that Wil's level from the forums but seeing directly appeared more exciting.
Instantly, the appearance of Wil was spread in the forums.
Aster smiled while watching their expressions.
As they reached the place, they were joined by a thousand members of the Scarlet-A division that was lead by Rock Fist, and twenty thousand members of the Scarlet-B division that was lead by Snow Dew and Flame Emperor.
Together in number, they were no lesser than a large guild, however, compared to others that have over 40 or 50 thousand members, they were indeed not impressive as much.
Several guild leaders went forward to greet Wil but Aster blocked them and made sure Wil was covered to hide the fact that this is a clone.
It displeased them but what can they do…
Aster knows that the rejection will displease everyone but except for him, no one knows about Wil's cloning ability and he wanted to keep it that way.
But, who could have expected, in the very next few minutes, the clone is going to start the trouble.
*Ding! The three-way war between Zuweth, Llyne, and Evelon officially starts
*Ding! Llyne is submitted to Zuweth. The players and NPCs of both the kingdoms will be treated as allies.
*Ding! A barrier was erected around the three kingdoms. Teleportation to the outside of the barrier or the enemy nation is banned.
