122 Bad News

"It\'s fine" After giving his confirmation. Which he regretted it soon.

The dwarves pour out the wine to a small cup for each of them. After all of them get their share. They raised their cup once again.

"Cheers"

All of them drank the wine at the same time. Weirdly, all of them suddenly drunk. Even the dwarf leader also drunk. On the other hand, Alex can\'t speak. Not because he was drunk, it was because he felt the energy bursting from the wine he drank. His Fire Phoenix Seed suddenly revolving like crazy. It didn\'t produce the fake flame anymore, instead it producing a mass amount of his True Fire. The Fire immediately burned all the wine and refine the energy.

Alex immediately sat down and enter the cultivation state. His body fully covered by flame. Sadly, no one watches him. Because all of them are drunk. His fire refines the energy continuously. After a full three hours, he finally woke up from his state. He felt there is a leap in his energy.

"Is it because of the wine?" He looked at the wine Jar. He hurriedly walked to the jar. He shakes the jar. There is still a bit of wine in there. He poured it himself once more. The wine was only enough for half of his glass. A bit disappointed, he starts to regret sharing his wine. If he drinks it by himself, he might be able to reach Peak Qi Manipulation Stage or even higher. Well, what\'s done is done. He drinks the last bit of wine.

He refines the energy and stabilize his cultivation until tomorrow noon. This time, the flame didn\'t get out of his body. When he wakes up, it seems that the people already wake up. There is no one in this place except the five leaders.

"Oh, you finally wake up." The dwarf leader came to him. "Thank you for the wine yesterday, it was the best wine we had ever taste, even though we immediately passed out after drinking that."

Alex nodded. "Where is the other?"

"All the soldiers already gathered in the Divine City. We can move out if you want" The Elven Queen said.

"Then, how about we go there first?"

All of them nodded, They flew to the Divine City. Like yesterday, the journey only took one hour.

Outside the wall of the Divine City, many soldiers already waiting in there.

"They are the soldiers from Centaur Race, The Elves, and The Dwarves, while the Titan and Druid race will be here to hold the fort. Five of us will be the one leading them, Is there any problem with that, Sir Alexander?" Elven Queen reported the situation to him.

"No"

They gathered in front of the wall. The soldiers noticed their leaders came.

"Your Majesty, the Queen"

"Leader"

"Champion"

Cheers erupted from the soldiers. Of course, they only cheer for their own leaders. The elves cheers for their queen, the dwarves cheer for their leader and the centaur cheer for their strongest, the champion.

All five leaders and Alex are present. The Elven Queen stomp her staff to the ground. The soldiers become quiet.

"Our Divine Tree that almost exhausts its life was saved. The barrier that protected our almighty Divine Tree has been repaired. All of this can happen because a great person has helped us. Let me present to you, the great person that save our race. Alexander Sirius"

"Uwoo"

"Long Live Divine Tree, Long Live Alexander Sirius"

The soldiers were confused when they saw a human walking beside their leaders. But when they knew that this human save their race. All of that didn\'t matter. They only know that he is their race benefactor"

When everyone cheering at the moment, A messenger suddenly comes to the stage.

"Your Majesty, there is an Emergency"

"Speak"

"There is a big scene on the battlefield. It said that the force from Acacia kingdom has finally arrived on the scene, they are lead by Royal Academy Dean, Marco, the current Marshall, and their war minister. According to our scout, there is an argument between the three kingdoms and the fight almost breaks out. We didn\'t know why but it seems that the force from Acacia Kingdom came with a rush. The reason why they came with a rush still unknown."

All leaders frowned, the Elven Queen turned to Alex "Sir Alexander, you…"

Before she finished her words, Alex was nowhere to be found. The dwarf leader, "When he heard the news just now, he immediately disappeared. It seems he is rushing to the battlefield."

\'Even we used our fastest speed, it\'s still a day before we arrived on the battlefield" The Elven Queen sweatdropped. She makes a quick decision. "All rank 7 or above will follow us to the battlefield, we will rush to the battlefield and all rank 6 captains will lead the troops to the battlefield"

"Yes"

All of rank 7 along with the five-race leaders disappeared from the scene, they are rushing to the battlefield. Rank 6 captains immediately control the situation and ordered the soldiers to follow them to the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Alex still rushing to the battlefield. On the way, Sherry suddenly come out.

"Wuu Wuu?"

"Nothing, I\'m just rushing toward the battlefield."

"Wuu Wuu Wuu"

"Yes, you are right. I act a bit rashly. We still need a day before we arrived on the battlefield. When I arrived, I will wait for the other leaders before I presented myself there, I will appear if the situation goes wrong though. But I\'m still wondering, why they came in a rush? According to the report, they came in a rush, but what is the reason? Is it because the \'big war\' will start soon?"

Alex pondering the reason continuously. He didn\'t know why but he felt the \'big war\' is not the reason and he can\'t help get an uneasy feeling about this.

…

A few days ago, one day after Alex set off to the demi-human territory. In the throne room, there are a few men talking about the war. They are The King Carollus, Grand Duke Raymond, War Minister Leyfon, Marshall Draco, Dean Marco, and one unexpected person, The Previous King, Bryan de Zelle Acacia. Although he is retired from his position as the king, he is still one of the rank 8 from Acacia Kingdom. The reason why he joined this meeting is…

"What is the condition on the battlefield?" Bryan asked

"There is still no big movement from the other side. Though there are a few small fights, the situation still under control" Carollus answered.

"The soldiers are ready. We can set off right now", Draco

"I see, I heard that you\'ve got a student, Marco?"

"Of course, he is my pride"

"And you lose to your student, even though he is not over 20. Are you sure you are not pulling your punch since he is your student?"

"Haha, of course not. I lost fair and square. I fight him with all my might." He wasn\'t ashamed when Alex defeated him, instead, all he got is pride.

"I really want to meet him. I heard that he is going to the Demi-human to have their help, is that true?"

"Yes"

"Don\'t you have any fear that he will be classified as a threat from them?"

"No! They can try if they want. I don\'t want to help him with his problems. I want him to be the strongest. if the demi-human provokes him, just beat them. You can\'t be called the strongest if you don\'t challenge the whole world, that\'s why I didn\'t help him if he provoked someone or other provoked him, He will solve the problems himself. You are stronger than a person after you beat him. You call yourself the strongest but you didn\'t challenge them all, that was just an empty title."

"What a strict teacher you are, of course, in a good way. But, even though he managed to beat you. There is still numerous rank 8 in the demi-human territories. What if they attack him at the same time?"

"Let me tell you something, One day before I fight him on his graduation day. I observed his strength, and what do you think his strength? You think he is a rank 8, right? No, at that time, he was only a rank 7. The next day I see him, he was already a rank 8"

"What?"

"His master is the Ascender. I don\'t know if that true but since it was the Ascender, it might be true. After all, he is the only one that managed to ascend in our history."

"So, you mean that his strength came from him?"

"I don\'t know about that. But, I believe that Alex will ascend sooner or later. I just hope that I can see him ascend before I die"

"Cough. Father, There is a more important matter…" King Carollus broke their conversation.

"Alright alright, This is only about two old men chatting with each other. Let\'s go back to the topic"

Carollus nodded. "Yesterday, we got an unexpected information. All of you must know about the town next to our border with Zircodina Kingdom, right?"

"Blue Grass City?"

"Yes" Carollus nodded. "According to our information, All of the humans there were brutally killed. Leaving a mountain of bones in the city"

"What?" Everybody except Carollus stood up. They can\'t believe such thing happen unnoticed

"I know. I was like you all yesterday when I received the news. I immediately sent a scout there and confirmed that it\'s true" Carollus gulped down before he continues "The scout went to check the neighboring towns too, There are two other towns that were like that. We still don\'t know who dare to do such a thing"

All of the faces present were darkened.

"So, This is my suggestion. We will stop this war as soon as possible. That\'s why I want Marshall Draco to lead the soldiers to the battlefield today. With your speed, I\'m sure you can arrive within a few days. I got a bad feeling about this, because of that I want to stop this war as soon as possible. If the preparator motive is mass murder. There is a perfect place to do that"

"Battlefield" All the people realized that. Draco immediately nodded "I and my soldiers will set off immediately after this meeting"

"Let me give you some inputs from myself" Suddenly Bryan spoke. "Marco and Leyfon will accompany Draco to lead the soldiers to the battlefield. Since the battlefield might be in danger. Adding, Marco and Leyfon will make it safer. Carollus and Raymond, you two will be in charge of gathering all of our rank 8, Excluding the three of them and the academy principal who was still in the demi-human territory. There are still five of them left. I wanted them to protect our citizen to make sure to expand their defense range to the limit. If the thing that happened to those three towns happen in our territory again. I wanted to protect the citizen as much as possible."

"Yes"

"What are you going to do Father?"

"I will investigate the thing happen in those three towns"

"Father, that was dangerous. We can\'t-" Raymond and Carollus sweatdropped.

"Stop, We don\'t know what happened to those three towns, Though these bones are already old, I still have enough energy for self-preservation"

"Father!"

Bryan immediately ordered with dignity like back when he was a king. "It\'s decided. Draco, Marco, and Leyfon will lead the soldiers and set off today. Raymond and Carollus will gather all of our kingdom rank 8 fighters. I will be investigating that incident. I won\'t hear any objections"

"Ha!"

All of them immediately moved, Bryan called Marco a bit. "I got a bad feeling about this incident. If you arrived on the battlefield, I want you to sneak around to confirm the situation there"

"I know. I will search the surrounding"

"Marco…Be careful"

"Haha, Of course, You too. You still need to attend your Granddaughter and Grandson-in-law marriage"

"Hoho!" He already knew about Alicia and Alex relationship for a long time. Even though he is retired, he still following the news around the kingdom, especially his families. After reading the information about Alex, he is very satisfied with him. He wanted to meet him for a long time but he thinks it\'s still not the time. "I know I know. I am also very eager to meet this grandson-in-law"

…

After a day flying tirelessly, Alex finally arrived on the battlefield. There is no movement in the Demon side, but on the human side, there are four men fighting in the air. He recognized one of them, he is Leyfon, The one he fights is an old man with a priest robe. He must be the pope, Alex thought. The other two wearing armors. He didn\'t recognize either of them. Of course, Alex hasn\'t seen Draco so he didn\'t know him.

He moves his vision down a bit. He saw his teacher with them. He seems to protect the soldiers. It must be Acacia Kingdom\'s soldiers. Then he turned to the other side. There is a middle-aged man with a priest robe too protecting the soldiers. That must be the soldiers from the Holy Kingdom. He saw a familiar face in their crowds. A Familiar figure that once broke his heart and her childhood friend. It was Sandra and Maria.

He didn\'t have any attachment nor feeling anymore to Sandra. So he skips them. He turned to the last group of soldiers. He remembered the old man guarding the soldiers, it was the old man he met back then, if he is not wrong, he should be the Zircodina Princess\'s Teacher. As for his name…he forgets about that, he also found Zircodina Princess, Rieze in the crowds. But, Alex\'s focus is on another person. He saw that familiar and disgusting figure.

"John!"
