Chapter 438 - 11: The War Has Arrived!
"The Riptide boy is fearless of dragons." Elder Yige spoke, "You cannot intimidate him; the boy will rebel."
"This will benefit him; once I enter the gates, I can relieve the siege of Fertile City." Alex stroked his thick beard with his fingers.
He wore a horned crown, donned a wide royal cape, with his face meticulously groomed, features rich yet very aesthetic.
The Black Iron King once wanted to anoint him as King of the North, a position second only to the Black Iron Throne, below one man but above thousands. Given time, he could also earn the title of Lord.
But Alex did not agree, for he believed what he gained with his own hands would far exceed any endowment from others, with destiny siding with him.
Now, that belief has been affirmed.
The Black Iron King had fallen, and he became the rightful King of the North without any coronation from others. In the future, he aims to become the King of the Earth, attaining honors even more exalted than the Black Iron King...his achievements might rival the Conqueror. - Will the future really be so smooth?
Alex pondered. The Conqueror waged a distant expedition from the Black Iron Land to Igo. And he fought out from Igo Land, waging a distant expedition to Black Iron, a path only he could imitate.
"We can see, the boy is proud, unwilling to be beneath anyone, innate in his nature." Yidene said.
Iron Flower County is the gate of Riptide and even Black Iron Land, built during the conquest; if the fortress is attacked forcibly, the attackers will undoubtedly suffer severe losses with great risks of failure.
Alex intended to work inside and out, letting River Valley Forces strike Iron Flower County from both sides.
