Excelium II: Hunting Season

Kabanata 92

"What?!" the soldiers' and advisors' voice raised after hearing what the young captain reported.

A soldier clenched his teeth and suddenly grabbed the young man's collar with his both hands as his eyes glare at him, "Don't spout some nonsense, kid! Do you even have any idea what'll happen to those who speak false informations in front of the king?!"

Ngunit hindi nagbago ang ekspresyon ni Nicolov habang siya'y nakatingin sa mga galit na mga mata nito. "I have no reason to give fake intel in the midst of war, Sir," he then looked at Ali, "Your highness, don't you think it's suspicious too?"

Tinitigan ni Ali ang mga mata ng binata bago niya ibinalik ang kaniyang tingin sa labas ng matataas na pader na nakapalibot sa buong kapitolyo ng Westernia. His expression turned grimmer as he clench his hand. His mood has taken a darker color since he heard what the student has to say. He already has a problem in hand and he has to deal with another and bigger one. The situation just kept on getting worse.

He looked at the tent, "Tell Uriah." mabilis naman na tumango rito ang witch na naroon at itinuon na nito ang atensyon sa kaniyang gawain.

Ali put his sword on his waist and the advisors looked at him because of what he did. He's planning to go. "Your highness, please refrain from stepping into the battlefie--"

Ngunit tumigil ito sa pagsasalita when Ali glanced over his shoulder to him. They saw how angry the king is with his dark and cold gaze. His eyes are slightly widened and they could feel an eerie sensation just by staring at his orbs. "Are you telling me to watch my people pointlessly die?"

The advisor kept his mouth shut. Mas minabuti na lamang niyang manahimik kaysa galitin pa lalo ang hari. Wala ng makakapigil rito lalo na at ang pinagmumulan ng galit nito ay mula rin sa pag-aalala nito sa nasasakupan.

"Your highness," Nicolov removed the soldier's hands from his collar before he continued, "It seems that the virus can be transmitted through their DNA. The soldiers must remain their distance."

The side of Ali's lips lifted, "It looks like Escenier's weapons will come in handy. Advisors," the advisors flinched when Ali suddenly called for their attention. Ali looked at them, "Guard the civilians in my stead."

Mabilis namang yumuko ang mga ito, "Yes, your highness. As you wish."

Nicolov watched as Ali bend his knees while his hand is resting on the hilt of his sword. His expression is more serious than ever. Nicolov's eyes widened when the he felt a sudden large force and in an instant, the king blasted away from his spot. A very huge crater appeared on the spot where he was standing and the whole ground shook just by his mere leap.

But the other people who's with him acted normal. As if they already expected the huge damage the king will cause with his departure.

Lumipat ang tingin ng binata sa pader ng buong kaharian noong makarinig siya ng malakas na tunog. His expression came back to its usual strictness. I see.. Jebal Horus inherited his excelium from his father.Westernia's royal family is surely blessed with strong magical attributions.

All soldiers slightly paused when they heard a loud noise coming from the walls of the kingdom. Tila ba may malaking bato ang tumama rito but they all know who's the one that caused that loud sound. It is none other than their ruler. What is his highness doing in the battlefield?

Uriah was crushing a Hellion with two rocks when she heard a certain sound inside her head. Uriah's eyes widen when she heard the details from their messenger. She clenched her teeth then she ran back. Another worse case!
