Chapter 551 The Irresistible Bounty
Sensing the powerful magical energy that had emerged out of Flintor, King Ga couldn''t help but blink several times to ensure he wasn''t seeing things.
Crystal Sage Rank?
No, the magical energy emanating from him seemed even more potent, suggesting he might be at the Crystal King Rank. However, King Ga had already confirmed that the Princess''s personal guard was at the Crystal Luminary Rank.
Thus, the idea of Flintor being at the Crystal Sage Rank was something he found incredibly hard to believe—impossible, even!
Of course, the Four Major ns witnessed this scene and were even more shocked by it.
Olivia couldn''t help but mutter under her breath, "Is this the true strength of the Princess''s personal guard?" She knew that the position of the Princess''s personal guard was unique.
When she first heard about the appointment, the news was spread throughout the kingdom to the extent that the Princess''s personal guard could be considered part of the royal family. However, even without that, his strength had never been revealed to the public.
Olivia had no idea about how strong he truly was. She had even wondered if he was at the tenth tier Crystal Luminary Rank, just like Princess Crystalia after her strength was unveiled during the Gemheart'' ns attack. However, looking at the personal guard before her, she realized she was absolutely wrong!
In fact, it should be obvious that the Princess''s Personal guard should be at least someone stronger than her. If Princess Crystalia''s strength was at the Tenth tier Crystal Luminary Rank, then that meant that the personal guard demonstrating an immense amount of magical energy that even she was not able to sense was—
Olivia gulped down a mouthful of saliva. For some reason, this situation reminded her of exactly how herst encounter with Orion had ended.
Instantly, her mind raced, searching for a way to leave the Gemheart n Manor with the rest of her family because, whatever it was, she was sure the results wouldn''t be pleasant.
Just as another group of guards was about to jump in and attack again, King Ga immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"STOPP!!"
The guards instantly halted their steps and returned to their previous positions.
Seeing this, King Ga focused his attention back towards Flintor.
"Do you have any idea what you are doing?" King Ga asked.
Flintor merely looked at him.
Instead of responding, he said, "I have thought about many ways that I want to kill you. However, as the king, I''ll be willing to give you a choice," he asked, "How do you want to die, King Ga?"
King Ga immediately gritted his teeth in anger.
He snapped his head to the side, focusing on the guests present. "As you can all see, the Crystalforge n has decided to retaliate once again, even after their defeat. However, it would be too shameful for one of the Four Major ns to throw their fists against an already fallen n."
He then focused his attention back on Flintor.
"So, I will give you onest chance to surrender. Otherwise, not only will Ibel you and the Crystalforge n as traitors, but I will also ce a bounty on the Crystalforge n. Whoever sessfully wipes out the Crystalforge n will be joined with the Four Major ns, restoring its numbers to the Five Major ns," he said.
He still had to confirm in detail about the Princess''s Personal guard''s current strength before taking any action he might regret.
As King Ga''s voice reverberated through the air, the whole area couldn''t help but be absolutely silent.
Cryst''s eyes immediately widened after listening to King Ga''s words.
Bing one of the Five Major ns—what does that mean?
Forget about their current position; for them to be here, within the main engagement hall, meant they obviously held considerable power within the Prismerian kingdom.
However, whenpared to the Four Major ns, their authority might as well be likeparing a toothpick to that of a tree.
It was iparable!
So, the moment King Ga''s words ended, the eyes of all the smaller ns and families burned with determination.
"The Glimmerskin n has heard the King''s words and would dly soil its hands in taking care of the Crystalforge n."
A voice soon sounded out, and a middle-aged man with deep blue skin and white hair locks stepped forward.
Although the Glimmerskin n was part of the vassals under the Crystalforge n, helping them control some crucial areas in the kingdom, now that the Crystalforge n had fallen and their authority had been seized by the Gemheart n, other ns and families had been slowly eating up their business and authority. Thispelled them to look for an alternative way to restore their previous position of power.
That''s why they chose to attend the engagement of the Crowned Prince and the former Princess of the Prismerian kingdom, aiming to befriend the Gemheart n and prove their capabilities.
However, now that they not only had the chance to do so but could also climb up thedders and instantly ascend into the position of bing one of the Five Major ns, even if it meant bing one of the weakest Major ns, how could they resist such an offer?
Nevertheless, he wasn''t the only one who found such an offer irresistible, as several other voices rang loudly.
"The Jadefall family has heard the King''s words and would dly extend its hands in exterminating the Gemheart n."
"The Moonstone n has heard the King''s words and would personally want to take care of wiping out the Crystalforge n themselves."
Another voice sounded out, and in just under a few minutes, about six ns and ten Families spoke and stepped forward.
Witnessing all of this, Crystalia couldn''t help but grit her teeth in anger and frustration. Yes, she understood that although some of the ns and families that had stood up to face them were once loyal to the Crystalforge n, it was all about power and survival at the end of the day.
The Crystalforge n had already lost its power and was now clinging to itsst thread of survival. So, after King Ga had made such an offer to everyone present, Crystalia understood that after today, the Crystalforge n would be... no more.
