Location: More than two thousand kilometers away from the Royal Capital of the Aetherium Kingdom, Endless Prairies.
Aetherium Kingdom's Royal Army was clearing out the surrounding area. The wild monsters, the local forces and even the Castle Lords were all targets of the Royal Army. As for Aria and the Golden Lion Army, they have also joined the Royal Army.
She was currently leading her Golden War Lions to besiege a territory that belonged to the Dark and Evil Faction. Its army was the Dark Demon Bear.
All Castle Lords from the Endless Prairies did not have beast type troops. After all, the Castle Lords' barracks were random. That was why it was not that strange to see even undead troops in grassland type regions.
The Castle Lord of the Dark Demon Bear Castle said angrily, "You are one of the most influential Castle Lords. Why did you join Haru and help that tyrant?"
Aria sat on the back of a Saint Tier Golden War Lion and after half a second of silence, she said, "Have you been reading too many 'hero novels' recently? You think this is some fictional story where everyone has to act with morals?"
The Castle Lord of the Demon Bear Castle said angrily, "No matter what, I have no hatred towards you or Haru and have never attacked the Aetherium Kingdom. You have no reason to attack my territory, let's maintain peace!"
Aria looked at him, "This was never about reasons or peace. The Divine King is still very kind-hearted, giving you a chance to live! Now, you can take one-tenth of your troops and use the teleportation array to leave the Endless Prairies!"
"As for the other resources, they are the spoils of war for the Aetherium Kingdom!"
"Ten percent troops?!" The Castle Lord gritted his teeth and said, "Ok, let me take the Castle Heart with me!"
Aria shook her head and said, "That won't do!"
The Castle Lord said angrily, "If you destroy my Castle Heart, wouldn't I be forced to become a Ranger? What would 10% of my troops be useful for by then? If all of them die, I will still be alone!"
"You have no choice!" Aria said, "This is your only chance of survival!"
The Castle Lord gritted his teeth and said, "I will surrender and become a subordinate of the Aetherium Kingdom. I will hand over the recruited troops and resources!"
This was common knowledge to the Castle Lords of the Endless Prairies. The Aetherium Kingdom only had two ways to deal with them. They either surrendered or died. To join the Aetherium Kingdom, they had to become a subordinate force.
Every day, they had to hand over one-fifth of their recruited troops and one-third of their harvested resources. For the Castle Lords, such conditions were extremely harsh. However, compared to losing their status as Castle Lords, such harsh conditions were nothing.
Aria shook her head and said, "Your surrender can not be accepted, because you belong to the Dark and Evil faction, which directly opposes the Aetherium Kingdom."
They only subjugated Castle Lords who belonged to at least one of the three factions - Light, Kindness and Order. The Castle Lords of the other factions did not meet the requirements for surrender. The Lord of the Demon Bear Castle had only one choice if he wanted to live, to teleport away with 10% of his troops.
After hearing Aria's words, the Castle Lord realized that he had no choice so he angrily led the dozen or so Dark Demon Bear into the teleportation array. However, before he left, he turned around and coldly looked at Aria as he said, "Go back and tell Haru that my name is Asim Muneer. Remember this name! One day, I will make him pay the price."
"It seems you have a death wish!" Aria's expression suddenly turned cold. This idiot really did not know how to be grateful. After losing the battle as she let him go, not only did he not feel lucky, but he even hated her. This was a potential enemy!
"Kill this idiot!" Aria did not hesitate and immediately ordered the Golden War Lions to charge toward the teleportation array.
"It's too late!!" The Castle Lord, Asim, sneered. The dazzling light of the teleportation array had enveloped him. Before Aria could reach him, he would be teleported away.
He stared hatefully at Aria. This woman and Haru would be his enemies for the rest of his life. No matter how much he paid, he had to get revenge as he said, "Although I have lost my identity as a Castle Lord, as long as I don't give up, even if I become a Ranger, I still have a chance to become a True God. At that time, I will return!"
Asim muttered to himself, quietly waiting for the teleportation to leave. At this moment, a terrifying power descended from the sky and suppressed his teleportation array. Under the terrifying power, the magic runes of the teleportation array shattered. In a short moment, his territory's Teleportation Array collapsed.
"How is that possible!?" The cold expression on Asim's face froze. He looked up into the sky and saw an Angel that was so beautiful that he felt suffocated. She had Twelve Angel Wings behind her and gave off a terrifying aura. This was the Twelve-Winged Angel of Dominion, Aureole, who was at the peak of Demigod Tier!
Asim cried out in fear, "You promised to let me go!"
Aureole glanced at him coldly, then her figure flashed and disappeared into the air. From the start to the end, she did not pay attention to this insect, leaving Aria and her Golden War Lion army to deal with.
"Couldn't you have left quietly?" Aria rode the Saint Tier Golden War Lion and walked over, "This is a cruel reality, not a video game where you can respawn. We are fighting for supremacy here. It is already very good for you to have been able to survive after this defeat! As for you, a loudmouth idiot, who still harbored hatred, I have nothing else to say now."
