"I have called you here to inform you that I and the second chief of the kingdom''s military troop will be out of the kingdom. We have offered our help to those of which ho came from the Kingdom of the Land. I entrust that you with this duty and expect you to not fail me. No one can enter the kingdom during my absence and no one shall leave. If someone foreign dares to defy my command, give them a first warning and tell them what I said just now. If they do not listen, I order that you restrain them and if they resort to force, I give you the order to shoot and kill whoever defies my authority. Do not fail me." I commanded at the head guard who nodded and promised that if he should fail, he would resign and leave the kingdom.

    I then changed into my outfit which is the one where a king should wear. I had my cape on me, a velvet suit that had countless of badge and the royal sword. I then headed out of my room. The hell guards on the hallway paid their respect as I passed.

    When I got to the front gate of the kingdom, a horn was sounded and every soldier and guards turned around to face me.. A crowd was formed in the opposite direction to where the troops where. I cleared my throat and prepared to say a few words.

    "Citizens of Inferno, the Kingdom of the Land has asked for a lending hand as they now face a very hard dilemma. Their kingdom is being attacked by a number of rogues and the long lost prisoner of our kingdom, the hell spawn who escaped centuries ago." The crowed started to gasp and then murmuring was all I heard.

    "Silence."

    "I shall retrieve the hell spawn and in return, the Kingdom of the Land will offer us one of their mining sites where we could dig for our own resources without any form of charges or foreign transaction. Wish us well as I too promise that as long as I am King, this kingdom will never fall back into near slumber and ruin." Everyone clapped their hands at cheered for me and the troops. I walked to where the second chief was and nodded at him. I got on top of my horse and then saw that Prince Kaval was beside me with his own horse. In battles, we prefer to use horses to avoid further casualties such as explosion from vehicles.

    "Commander, awaiting for your command." The second chief addressed to me. I sighed and looked onward. This is my first battle and even if it is, this one shall fall into a victorious result.

    "Troops of the Inferno, charge onwards!"

    All of those who were with the troops yelled along with people who waved their handkerchief at us. The front gates of the kingdom was filled with people who were cheering and rooting for us.

    "Good luck everyone!"

    "Win or loose! Come back alive and complete!"

    Many more yelled at us with comforting and encouraging words. I could not help but feel very confident from the way that they were very supportive to us. The kingdom was united in sending us to the first battle that I will embark on my own. Despite being only fifteen years of age, the position I now hold made me grow up mentally and everything has happened so much and now I''m in a new chapter of this journey which is absolutely insane. I turned the horse around and faced the people with a smile. They all quieted down as they saw me smile for the first time in a while.

    "Victory shall be ours!" I exclaimed making the people erupt into a cheering mess. I turned around and faced the now opened gates.

    "Gyah!" The horse started to move immediately. The troops then started to follow me with the second chief and Prince Kaval by my side. The wind felt very refreshing to the sense as I have never gotten out for quite some time now. The midnight sky was very calm in contrast to what lies ahead of us.

    The stars glimmered up above as a streak of beautiful aurora''s lit up our way. A sense of happiness dawned on me as I now ventured outside the kingdom. I looked at Prince Kaval who had his gaze up ahead as the same goes to the second chief in command.

    "What is your plan your majesty?" I heard him say as he got near. I looked to where Kaval was and motioned for him to approach me too.

    "King Hade?"

    "The hell spawn and the rouges, what location are they attacking from?" I spoke steadily. The road was dark and I did not ask my troops to bring any form of light as we do not want the enemies to know that we are coming as this is going to be an ambush.

    "The moment I left the kingdom, I went through the back gates where there were not that much of an attack and was under controlled, it was the main and front gate that is being rammed and I doubt it still is being rammed the moment we speak of."

    "Coordinates?"

    "The front gate if south west as the back gate is the opposite." He answered me swiftly.

    "The barren lands is southwest so no wonder you got a direct hit, the kingdom is directly facing it. Question, how are able to manage regarding the hell spawn not being able to penetrate the inner kingdom yet. I have learned that that beast is quite hard to restrain." I spoke. It is true though, restraining that thing is beyond hard. It was written in the great history book of the kingdom that it too all of my greatest grandfather''s effort and power, his men and allies to capture it. And when the did capture it, it was not the only problem, they were having a headache as to how to contain it.

    Then King Pyro Morningstar, the king who caught it devised a strategy to capture it, using most of his powers, he created a four hell pillar than made a cage where the hell spawn was kept. Needless to say, it took a toll on him as he got trapped along with it and ended up being burned into ashes but his efforts did not go in vain as the thing he captured made sure that the kingdom was not to be messed with. Not just by the other kingdoms but also those from the dark valley in the barren lands that wants to overtake the Inferno Kingdom.

    "Father is keeping it at by by taking the charge of defense in his own hand. Take his action similar to what King Pyro did back in the day but this time, it''s geo elements which is quite stronger no offense."

    "None taken."

    "So your majesties, where do we plan to take them out. It would be very much advisable that we sneak unnoticed." The second chief spoke.

    "It would be very much predictable if we attack from behind. Let''s attack them from the east side, there are huge trees there." I suggested.

    "But isn''t that part of the dark valley?" The second chief questioned.

    "They have long fled since the eradicated the rogues on those parts. They won''t be able to come back as a seal is placed there. We take them from there, our archer group shall fire hell shots at the rogue. We take them out first so we can deal with the hell spawn without anyone interfering us. Then the defense team will guard the outer parts of the wall and eradicate the upcoming threats. We do not know if they have some backups. The rest will accompany me and Prince Kaval in fighting with the rogues." Both Prince Kaval and the second chief nodded then went back to their position. It won''t be long till we arrive there. I kicked the horse on the side making it run faster. A trail of smoke and small traces of fire was behind me.

    We continued to move in a very fast pace for a good hour with nothing but silence and the sound of our horses stomping on the barren grounds. I noticed that we were nearing the part of the dark valley where father has conquered and put a seal on it. A very faint red glowing sphere was evident. I charged straight forward and me being a royal blood had it vanish immediately. We ventured even further until a few minutes, we saw the outskirts of the Kingdom of the Land which was in chaos. The grass outside it were burning as the same happened for the trees that were scattered. We ventured to what seemed like a hill and when we did reach there, the view of what was happening sent chills to my bones. it was absolute chaos but what caught my attention, was the hell spawn who kept releasing a pulse of fire waves on the ground.

    This is not going to be easy.
