Location: Endless Prairies.
A full-scale Legion of Light was marching rapidly in the western region of Aetherium Kingdom. Of course, it had to be said that the Aetherium Kingdom's western region had occupied a corner of the Endless Prairie.
The Legion of Light on the western periphery of the moat was patrolling the surrounding areas of the Endless Prairie and cleaning up the wild monsters on the grasslands and local forces.
They didn't go deeper, maintaining their patrols only about 40 kilometers from the moat. This was because His Majesty the Divine King of the Aetherium Kingdom, their great God of Faith, their Lord Almighty, had not given them the order for a full-scale invasion otherwise they would have long gone deeper into the region to wipe out the local forces.
Suddenly, a Cardinal, the leader of this legion, sitting on the back of a Pegasus, made a gesture and a Paladin blew the horn of war.
The camp's situation changed rapidly, with several Cardinals and two hundred Paladins at the back, followed by many Holy Priests, Holy Nuns, and Holy Knights, charging forward as reinforcements at the horn's sound like a sharp arrow, aimed towards the Endless Prairies.
In that direction, soon a large number of figures appeared, and if they turned out to be enemies, as believers of the Lord, they would fight fearlessly. That was because they knew that if they died on the battlefield, their Lord would revive them and grant them new lives.
'Believe in the Lord and have eternal life!' These were not empty words. Each of them was a fanatic of their Lord. They never feared death.
…
On the other side, a vast sea of gold was moving at high speed towards Aetherium Kingdom's walls causing the ground to tremble. One could vaguely see that this 'golden sea' was made of more than a thousand huge Golden War Lions.
At their forefront was a beautiful woman in black armor standing on the back of a forty-meter-long golden lion. Yes, she was a Castle Lord, the Lord of Golden City, Aria. Early in the morning, she led her Golden War Lion Army, chasing the golden light, looking for Haru's Aetherium Kingdom and now she finally found it!
…
"Stop! This is the land of the Aetherium Kingdom! The Domain of our Lord!" The Cardinal spoke, "Lady in the lead, put down your weapon and stop your Golden War Lions! Otherwise, you will face judgment from the Holy Light!"
The Golden War Lions roared and stopped about five hundred meters away from the Legion of Light. Aria stood on the head of her mount, which was an intermediate-stage Saint Tier Golden War Lion that was dozens of meters tall.
When Aria saw this Legion of Light, her beautiful face immediately revealed a trace of joy and she shouted loudly, "Don't misunderstand! I am the City Lord of the Golden City. I am not an enemy to your Aetherium Kingdom!"
She already knew about it since yesterday. Haru had three barracks and one of them was a Holy Monastery that could recruit the Legion of Light.
These were not Haru's main army, but what shocked her was that this legion was quite large. There were more than a thousand troops just patrolling this front alone! One had to understand that the Legion of Light weren't Haru's initial troops. This shocked her as she internally asked, 'How many troops does this guy even have?'
The Cardinal didn't let down her hostility, looked solemnly at Aria, who was standing above the head of the Golden War Lion, and said, "This is the land of the Aetherium Kingdom controlled by the Almighty Lord! Lady, why are you here?"
Actually, not only this place, even thousands of kilometers of Endless Prairie came under Aetherium Kingdom's sphere of influence, which was 10,000 kilometers in diameter but because Haru was currently focused on clearing the Dark Forest, he had yet to set his sights on other regions.
Going by the GM's logic of a Kingdom's sphere of influence being their legal territory, all Castle Lords, thousands of kilometers near Aetherium Kingdom, could be said to have invaded his Kingdom. After all, who asked the GM to give him 10,000 km of sphere of influence? In the Endless Continent, everyone followed the rule of 'might makes right'. There was no first-come, first-served.
Aria immediately put away the weapon in her hand and explained to the Cardinal, "I had an appointment with your King to congratulate him on Aetherium Kingdom's establishment! I even brought him a gift."
She clapped her hands and a Golden War Lion walked out from behind her. On its spacious back, there was a Fox-Girl tied up, whose beautiful face was filled with tears and she even had a furry tail on her back.
This crazy woman really did what she said! She truly wanted to give this Fox-Girl to Haru as a congratulatory gift!
