Rebellion... now of all times?!


    Crown Prince Arin instantly understood that everything was intertwined.


    Was it the doing of the Nardodian remnants?! But... how could they be strong enough to kill half of the soldiers in that area?!


    This wasn''t possible, especially while the officials confirmed that there wasn''t anything suspicious, unless...


    The Duke of Bond?


    He was alive. Arin was convinced and... it turned out that his hunch was true.


    "Your Highness!" Nico Petrus uttered when the Crown Prince was too taken aback to say anything. "We must do something."


    If the rebels were strong enough to kill that many soldiers, then... not even the formernds of Nardodia but also the capital of Qgon will be in danger! Not to mention that the majority of the soldiers were here to fight a war against Alora.


    "Did they report the amount of the rebels?" Arin Helev finally asked the soldier who brought the information.


    "They cannot be sure, Your Highness. However, they said that the amount of the rebels might be five times more than the number of soldiers in that area," the soldier responded.


    Crown Prince Arin shifted his gaze to the soldiers of the Alora Army who were marching towards them. It''s toote. He didn''t have much choice!


    "General Hanson."


    "Yes, Your Highness."


    "Led 100000 soldiers back to the capital with General Elian. Take another route and no matter what, prevent the rebels from entering the city."


    "Your Highness, we will be at a disadvantage if that many soldiers returned to the capital," General Elian said to the Crown Prince.


    "Even if we go to face the rebels, it will already be toote," the Crown Prince firmly said. "It''s fine even if we lose the formernds of the Nardodians but... if we lose the capital, then we''re done for."


    The Crown Prince looked at the soldiers of the Alora Army who were not far from them now. "We might be less in numbers but if we try our best, we still stand a chance. Besides, Commander Nico is also here."


    When Commander Nico Petrus saw the determination of the Crown Prince, he looked at the two Generals. "I agree with His Highness. Return and protect the capital at all cost."


    The two Generals exchanged nces with each other before they finally nodded firmly. "We understand."


    With that said, they retreated to the capital with 100000 soldiers. Then the Crown Prince and Commander Nico turned their attention back to the enemies.<novelnext></novelnext>


    King Den of Alora was now halting at a distance opposite Crown Prince Arin. Riding his horse, he observed the Qgon soldiers with disdain. His son, the Crown Prince was also beside him.


    "Arin Helev, seems like your confidence reaches the sky this time. You actually dared to face me with that little amount of soldiers?" the King of Alora said and it was followed by mockingughter. "I can sense that the end of the great Qgon ising near."


    Arin Helev simply smirked at the insult of his enemy. "To me, it seems like you''re the one whose confidence reach the sky, King Den. But... you''re pretty insecure. Are you afraid to face us without using those petty tricks? You waited for 5 years to attack us but you still don''t dare to y fair."


    "Fair or not, people only remember the winner in the end," King Den replied. "Once I crush your whole army, I will enter your capital and end the reign of the Helev''s. The next generation won''t even know that a kingdom named ''Qgon'' once exist in this world," he dered with confidence.


    Much to the surprised of the soldiers, Crown Prince Arin remained silent for a while. Just for a split second, they even wondered if their Crown Prince had lost his confidence now that they were outnumbered by the enemies but...


    Arin Helev stretched out both his hands to the sides. "Look at their faces, King Den. Do you notice fear? Do they seem like a coward to you?" He made a deliberate pause and shook his head as he retreated his hands. "You''re wrong.


    "They don''te here for the sake of glory but honor. Someone like you threatened to invade their homes and their families which they protect with their lives. Do you think they will cower in fear?


    "No. Less in numbers or not, they will fight you and stopped you till theirst breath. They will never give you a chance to fulfil your greed." Once again, he shook his head and added, "Never."


    The King of Den looked at the faces of the Qgon soldiers. He knew how much the words of their Crown Prince influenced them. Now, they all held their head high with the thirst to crush anyone who dared to attack them!


    However, he refused to be fazed and hardened his heart. "That''s just wishful thinking, Crown Prince. The reality is too different."


    Crown Prince Arin slightly smirked. "We will know that soon."


    His confidence. It even made King Den wondered if the Crown Prince had some backup n which he wasn''t aware of. He had heard many rumors about this young Crown Prince and his mind-blowing achievements on the battlefield but... he had never witnessed it himself.


    Maybe he will finally experience it.


    Finally, Crown Prince Arin unsheathed his sword and Commander Nico followed suit.


    "Even if we die today, we won''t have any regrets. We will die knowing that our sacrifice is what makes our Qgon safe!" Arin Helev shouted.


    Despite being less in numbers, the morale of the Qgon soldiers was raised even higher than ever! They all hold their swords, spears and bows tight, ready to face anything thates their way. They were willing to fight until the end for the sake of their kingdom which they loved!


    Now, all they waited for was the order to fight and they didn''t have to wait long.


    Crown Prince Arin raised his sword before he pointed at the enemies. "Attack!"


    King Den did the same as both sides marched against each other and shed anyone who was on their way.....
