Chapter 275 - 236: Establishing an Immortal Foundation
Within the Imperial Palace.
General Bek met with King Anuket who sat upon the throne.
This general was a key military officer of the Kingdom’s border forces, ever since over a decade ago when the "tyrant" attacked Ajia Royal City.
In that era when heroes gathered, the woman who controlled everything realized the necessity of building a new military stronghold outside the lands of Ajia in order to guard a citadel for the kingdom.
Following the Queen’s orders, countless massive stones from the mines of Ajia Land were transported beyond Ajia Royal City, watchtowers rose from the ground, and a standing army of thousands was stationed there, perpetually prepared to defend against the Beastmen who could pillage or attack Ajia at any moment.
"General Bek, I’ve been informed by my subordinates that the warfare among the Beastmen has slowly subsided. They had been at war over the Heavenly Descending Gem for years, now everything is in ruins, devastated."
King Anuket resided high above on his throne, peering down at General Bek before him.
Even the general, accustomed to bloodshed, tensed under the monarch’s direct gaze.
He slowly said,
"Your Highness, nothing escapes your control."
King Anuket laughed, a smile that was cold and detached.
