The first battle had ended.

The Western continent heard some surprising news.

The Empire�s crushing defeat.

The Empire that was supposed to be overwhelmingly powerful crumbled before the Whipper Kingdom�s warriors.

� Rumors of Duke Huten�s capture as a prisoner of war are spreading rapidly across the Western continent.

�Aren�t you laughing a bit too much?�

Cale turned his head away from the lively Alberu, whose glibness seemed to have spread from his tongue to his entire face.

He could then see the Fire of Destruction that was still burning strong even after all of the other fires had been put out.

� Heeheehee, isn�t our fire beautiful?

�Ah, this crazy bastard.�

Cale ignored the fiery thunderbolt�s voice. He then turned his head to see Alberu�s bright face once again.

� The Mogoru Empire contacted us.

That was expected.

� They asked if we provided the Whipper Kingdom with mages.

�And?�

Alberu replied with a cheerful expression.

� I told them that I never did! Isn�t that the truth?

�That is true. Although you technically gave them a vacation.�

The black Dragon Raon shook his head after seeing Cale and Alberu�s expressions. Cale didn�t care about Raon�s reaction as he nonchalantly added on..

�The results of the Empire�s battle seem to be spreading a bit too quickly though. It�s strange.�

Alberu snorted and responded back after seeing that Cale�s gaze was calm contrary to his statement about things being strange.

� Yeah, I spread the news.

The news of the Empire�s defeat, and detailed information of it at that, were quickly passed on to the, �people,� of the Western continent.

In other words, it was spreading to the general public and not to the leaders of each kingdom. JrNovels.com
