Chapter 42 An Evil Order.
The 5 Supernovas inspected the surroundings of the castle, stealthily. The city was crowded with soldiers and mercenaries. Rockey's eyes widened as he saw some figures on the wall. "Humans...!"
"Not mere humans, they are Martial Sorcerors" Jani corrected. Between the cultivator and sorcerer, the latter was unique and fewer in numbers. They are deficient in close-range battles. However, when it comes to long-range spells, sorcerors wield the power to turn the tide of a battle.
"This will be more difficult than we've anticipated. The walls are tall and embedded with magical items, it would be nearly difficult to siege the city." Jani who collected the necessary information about their enemies thought of these sorcerors as dangerous variables.
"We have a martial sorcerer here as well, Maria Coldbone said as she gazed at her younger brother, Bilal Coldbone.
Bilal was the only sorcerer among the 9 supernovas, his mother was a human. The two siblings were from different mothers, the girl was a pure-blood werewolf and was born with a qi based spirit. However, the cross-blood boy inherited a magic spirit mostly found in humans and elves.
"These two... are 2nd circle sorcerers," Bilal said indifferently.
"Hrmm..." Jani squinted his eyes before saying "let's inspect the other sides and report back to the prince." The rest nodded.
Jani Galearms was the vice commander of previous Imperial Guards, his fighting instincts and power was undeniable, but, be that as it may, he was renowned for his brains, not brawls.
Every supernova had a speciality, Jani's distinctiveness was quick and ration decisions. His calculation and strategy never failed him, when Ezra declared war on Warborn. Unlike others who panicked and planned to talk with the prince, Jani Galearms made a beginning on how to win.
<Foham City>
The civilians were trembling in fear, they were witnessing something inhumane. After devouring the souls and spirits, Ezra gave a strange order. No, it was an evil order that sent chills to his allies as well.
Nevertheless, the order of Ezra was absolute, he was the holder of two supreme ranks in the Bloodfang Kingdom. The order was horrific to an extent that those who saw couldn't control it and puked, some collapsed at the sight.
The group of 5 future generals arrived after inspecting Bishnigam.
~TAACK, THOONG, KARRAT~
They heard something. "What are these noises?" Maria asked
"Am I the person you should be asking, sis?" Bilal retorted.
Maria giggled before they entered Foham, they were eager to give their report. However, a strange sight was awaiting them.
Rockey's hair rose in a fright, Ivar was perplexed and the smart Jani had his eyes widened.
Maria's heart pulsed, she couldn't spit out her words "..."
Bilal held her hand and pressed it, helping her sister who was terrified. For an unknown reason, Bilal was the only one who was not shocked, it worried him as well.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Rockey cried, qi abruptly liberated his body.
Rockey turned his eyes direction and gazed at Momin Dokrafi. "Momin... what the hell is this?"
"This..." Momin wanted to speak but he lowered his head and gritted his teeth in regret.
"ANSWER ME..."
"Crown Prince... " Momin only spat out two words and the atmosphere changed drastically.
"What! Prince ordered this..." Ivar asked in confusion.
"Yes..."
"But, why?"
Momin shook his head, gesturing that he is unaware of the reason before saying "His majesty is waiting for you inside the chamber of city lord"
Rockey's mind was devastated, how could an innocent and kind kid like Ezra give such an order? He asked himself in disbelief.
The five quietly followed Momin towards the city lord's chambers, there they saw the remaining 3 Supernovas. Hubdar and Helsin had disgusted looks on their faces, while Aqsa smiled at them. "Anything new around Bishnigam?" She asked. Her tone was normal as if she was unaware of what was happening in the city.
"Aqsa, do you know what is happening in the city?" Rockey, who was most angry amongst all asked.
"Yes, I do" Aqsa answered right after.
That made Rockey madder. "How can you smile after allowing that?"
"Allowing that? Are you telling me to oppose the Crown Prince and Chief of Army Staff's order? His Majesty is from Redwolf family, they are god vassals. I would rather slit my throat than disobey his command." Aqsa answered, the smile on her face vanished, she was not happy with Rockey's behaviour.
Roch Whitefang's eyes widened as he listened to the words of Aqsa, he looked into the sky and took a deep breath, sigh. "Indeed, I let my emotions run wild. I am ashamed of myself, I doubt the man who gave me something even a father won't give to his son."
"We should get going, his majesty is waiting." Momin broke the strange atmosphere with his words.
Momin knocked on the door who was slightly open. "Come in" a familiar voice came from inside.
As the 9 Supernovas entered, they were shocked again. There were bodies with severed heads, 2 females and 4 kids.
Ezra was laying on the bed. "This chamber is good, who was the city lord again?" He looked at Aqsa as asked.
"Bazzik, your majesty. Haha, the one who is now in countless pieces" Aqsa chuckled as she remembered how her skill killed him, she seemed to have a wicked personality.
"Your majesty, may I ask something" Bilal Coldbone spoke.
It was then that Ezra looked at him. "You are a sorcerer! I thought we only had cultivators." When Ezra met the supernovas at the pyramid, his attention was caught by Rockey and Ivar. He didn't even look at Bilal, neither Fenrir informed him, as Bilal was not significant to Fenrir. "Bilal, it is, right?"
Bilal nodded "Yes, your majesty."
"What's your question?"
"Your majesty, why did you kill innocent wives and children of the city lord?"
Ezra turned his gaze and looked at the dead bodies, other supernovas stared at Bilal. "Are you stupid? His majesty has prohibited from questioning his decisions" Ivar whispered, however, Bilal was expressionless.
Ezra stood up from bed and said. "Their deaths were necessary for the future of our kingdom, including the thing you witnessed outside"
