"A concubine? How could a concubine have such terrifying strength?! Don't lie to us!"
A slight grin appeared on Scarlett's lips. Ignoring the words of the intruder, Scarlett unhesitatingly waved her sword at the side in front of her.
In a split second, the intruders' entire bodies were cut into several small pieces. Bringing her sword back into its sheath, Scarlett shook her head.
"That brat is truly too alert. It seems like there are some traitors within the Lionheart Kingdom. I have to find out their identities first." Instead of being angry at William's actions, Scarlett decided to believe what he said before. If not for William's warning, Scarlett would not have gone in killing those intruders.
A cold look appeared in Scarlett's eyes. Turning to the side, a small laugh came out of her mouth.
"Sister Diana, you can come out right now. Don't be afraid. We're all family."
Diana's face showed a strange expression. After witnessing Scarlett's strength, Diana had fully realized that Scarlett was a strong woman.
Nodding in front of Scarlett, Diana now showed her respect in front of her. Diana's thoughts towards Scarlett had been completely different from the first time she met her.
"Ms. Scarlett, you truly are a powerful expert. You were able to easily deal with even those intruders."
Wrinkles appeared on Scarlett's forehead. Although she was displeased to see such formality from Diana, Scarlett also considered herself a powerful expert.
Becoming the strongest was no different from gaining respect from other humans. Even a concubine like Diana had to show respect before her. With the difference between the strength of the strong and the weak, the humans considered Scarlett to be an expert who could not be provoked.
A sigh escaped Scarlett's mouth. Some memories of where she and Diana met for the first time came to mind. At first, Scarlett didn't like Diana, but she now realized that Diana had completely submitted to William's orders.
There was no disgust in Scarlett's heart. Instead, Scarlett chose to let Diana handle the corpses from outside the castle.
"Help me clean up all the corpses. I still have to do some things ordered by His Majesty."
After Scarlett left the place, a calm expression returned to Diana's face. Being close to Scarlett made Diana's body feel a fear that she couldn't imagine.
For some reason, Diana's previous view of Scarlett was no different from that of an actual monster. Luckily, Diana was able to quickly control her emotions.
Looking back at the bodies of the corpses before her, a look of disgust crossed her face. Even though she was a warrior, Diana did not expect that Scarlett would so cruelly cut off the entire body of the intruder.
"Forget it. Don't provoke that woman. I'll do as she orders."
As the morning passed, William's eyelids opened to reveal his pupils filled with a red aura. After several hours of meditation, William felt his body was now regaining its strength.
Staring at one of his hands, William's thoughts about his talent were completely different from before. William's talent is now better than before.
William's talent was previously only part of his complete talent, but now it is different. William's current talent is the complete version of William's life.
Even if William wanted to break through a major layer, he would be able to easily achieve it. William's qualifications for improving his strength were much higher than those of ordinary humans.
"The 4th layer of the Freedom Circle stage… Much better than before." After being satisfied with his breakthrough, William walked back to his bed. Walking out of the tent, William saw several troops starting to prepare to march.
William's senses are now starting to spread to various sides of that place. A slightly lazy expression appeared on William's face. After meditating for several hours, William realized that King Helmut was ready to carry out the plan they had previously planned.
The troops from the Blanc Kingdom also seemed to have prepared to enter the battlefield. Their faces showed their dead expressions. Even if they survived, they would not be able to escape William's plans.
"Your Majesty, all the plans you want have been prepared. Give the order any time for us to move?"
Contemplating where he was, William's thoughts began to drift to plans for the next attack. Although William wanted to conquer the Blanc Kingdom in one fell swoop, he also couldn't completely conquer the kingdom straight away.
"We'll start now. The sooner the better. If there's a trap, I'll handle it myself."
"Ah... Your servant understands." Commander Leo's expression became slightly doubtful. Even though he knew that his lord was wise, Commander Leo hoped that his lord would not completely overexert himself in facing off against the troops from the Blanc Kingdom.
With Commander Leo informing the troops of the imminent attack, William's expression returned to his emotionless face. Looking at the troops far away in front of him, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
William's current focus is to attack the Blanc Kingdom. After several weeks of hearing about the fighting strength of the Blanc Kingdom's troops from Anna, William considered that the Blanc Kingdom was different from the other two kingdoms.
All troop units from the Blanc Kingdom were much stronger than the other two kingdoms. Even the Lionheart Kingdom, which in fact could be said to be one of the seven Great Kingdoms, could not fully face the fighting power of the Blanc Kingdom's troops.
The current strength of the Lionheart Kingdom was different from its peak. It wasn't strange that they had become much weaker than their previous selves. After the defeats of the previous years, the Lionheart Kingdom's foundation was not even worthy of comparison to the other six Great Kingdoms.
But William didn't care too much about it. The difference in the Lionheart Kingdom's current combat strength is much bigger than when William previously commanded the kingdom. In the current war, William must fully mobilize all his strength in fighting against King Blanc.
Seizing power from King Blanc is one of the main goals in increasing the influence of the Lionheart Kingdom in the eyes of the world. By conquering all the territories of the Blanc Kingdom, the power of the Lionheart Kingdom will sooner or later return to its glory days.
Some time passed, and the borders of the Blanc Kingdom were now filled with troops guarding the place. A man with a large body is seen sitting on a horse. His serious eyes endlessly stared at the side in front of him.
"Is there any news of the enemy's movements? Immediately prepare all archer units to launch their fire." Turning to a man beside him, a serious expression appeared on the man's face. As the only remaining commander in the Blanc Kingdom's troops, the man's duty was to lead over hundreds of thousands of troops with him.
A complicated expression appeared on the man's companion's face. Recalling the situation from outside the Blanc Kingdom's territory, a memory of seeing several familiar faces of troops came to mind again.
"This... I previously saw that Commander Liam's remaining troops are now preparing to return to our side. It's just... Sir, I'm afraid that it will be a trap for us."
Contemplating where he was, the man showed a slightly complicated expression. Staring at the side in front of him, a small nod appeared on the man's head.
As one of the three commanders in the Blanc Kingdom, the man and Liam's relationship was that of comrades in arms. After the death of the red-haired man, he had completely lost his best companion.
But unfortunately Liam died in the fight against the Lionheart Kingdom's troops. By looking at his subordinate's expression, the man realized that Liam had been completely defeated by the enemy.
A sigh escaped the man's mouth. Instead of wanting to ask his subordinate about Liam's presence, the man decided to forget the useless thoughts in his head.
"Let them pass. His Majesty has also been waiting for the news they will give. Don't think too much about the traps that the enemy will set."
Thinking for a moment, the guard chose to agree to his commander's order. .After leaving his commander's side, the guard began to inform the other troops about their commander's instructions.
