Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

Chapter 298 The Weight Of Honor 7

?

A declaration of war. No matter what, no matter when such acts would have terrible consequences. Land, power, survival, money, or retaliation the reasons were many but the consequences were always the same. Death, sorrow, loss, and ultimately destruction, and the lunatic stepping on the count just declared that he would start one.

The insanity of it all started to dawn on the representatives of the allied empires. Quickly they started rebuking Hiro in an attempt to stop him. If this person was righteous he should detest war at least right?

"Are you insane? You would start a war with three kingdoms all for what? An Insult to your wives?"

"You filthy idiotic commoner! You can say such bullshit since you don't have any land with you. Do you even stop to think about the deaths and losses to follow? This is why those without noble blood are like pigs. It is baffling how you can even live every day! Your women must be sows the same as you right? Did you pick them up in some brothel back alley as they got their insides painted as well?"

The butcher didn't reply but kept his wide grin as he got off the count on the floor. He then slowly walked to the representative who insulted Lene, Jei, and Nessa. While smiling Hiro then slapped him with a terrifying force.

Like a boxing sandbag, Hiro stepped on the man's foot before he could fly off. The result was several teeth being smashed outside of his mouth as his cheek was bruised. The representative was so shocked he couldn't even speak and stammered as he pointed to Hiro.

"Yo…yo r sho ded! My fader is gong to hir abot dis! He is gong to pak yo uf and yor wifs will be…"

With several teeth missing the noble already had trouble with pronunciation, yet before he could finish his threat Hiro's hand again slapped him this time from the other side. The impact once again staggered the man.

"Wyat! I'm shory! I mag a mhistac!"

Hiro didn't give the man time to recover and proceeded to slap the man like a boxer training with a sandbag. It should be known that with the butcher's STR one punch would already tear the noble into pieces. The equivalent of a slap was like poking a cheek with a finger for Hiro.

"Wyat!…I'm…..yo…bhastar!…..lishen….owww…..stopp…porgif me…nooo…mammaa…."

The man's face started to swell as his eyes shut and his jaw got dislocated. Whatever looks the noble had before, he now had the appearance of a beat-up berry. He passed out somewhere along the way but Hiro continued to slap the living shit out of the man.

Fearful that Dylan didn't do anything about it the last representative tried to rally the others to his cause.

"Look at this! He is a tyrant who has little respect for nobility and even royalty! What would we do if he reigns chaos across the continent? We need to band together and stop him! If he could do this to him, he could also do this to you all!"

Despite his passionate pleas, however, the only responses he got were ridicule and scorn.

"The representative of the Ironshield has always been a lecherous ass. I'm glad someone finally set him straight."

"To covet the wife of another is not only vulgar but vile. I heard he stole over twenty commoners for one-night stands and murdered the families afterwards."

"Trash. It is shameful to be of the same nobility as him."

"What?" the representative of Snowind got tongue-tied. Many of these people used to try so hard to get in his good graces and now they were openly rebuking him and his allies. What the hell was going on?

Before he could say anything else however Hiro left the purple-faced noble and approached him.

"HIII!!"

Like a scared rat, the representative fell to the ground and started to wet himself in fear. Hiro crinkled his nose and picked up the man by his collar and started to strangle him as well.

"One thing to know about me, bastard. I never lie. To answer your question from before the answer is yes. I am more than willing to start a war for an insult to my wives. The only reason Dylan hasn't murdered you is because unlike me, he needs to worry about his people and his kingdom.

"I on the other hand could care less, so I do not have such restraints. I hold the honor of my women in high regard. So much so that I would make oceans of blood as compensation. Wake up, bastard. The reason no one is helping you is because they already know of my strength.

"Besides aren't you fuckers trying to find an excuse to start a war with the Dominii? Well, you got one, shouldn't you be happier? Laugh."

While the Snowind representative started to get dizzy from being choked. At Hiro's remark, the rest of the representatives suddenly laughed in a hearty manner, Dylan included. The hall suddenly became filled with chuckles and loud guffaws like someone dropped the punchline of the century.

Like a paid audience the laughter abruptly ended when Hiro again spoke. "Even Dylan could not contain me, who do you think is going to stop me from butchering you if I wanted to? The guards? Your armies? You can't even stop a battle harem and we killed over fifteen just this morning. Are you really stupid to still not know your place?"

One by one the representatives started commenting on the matter with serious faces.

"Indeed Sir Hiro, this fool is so behind the times. He failed to see your power!"

"What can you expect from a kingdom that has ice for brains? Please do not equate us all with him, Sir Hiro. Not everyone is an idiot like that man."

"Hai, may the heavens bless him with more wisdom so he doesn't become a complete moron in the future."

Such was the fickleness of the nobility. Many cursed the kingdoms of Snowind, Ironshield, and Flarestar, however, due to being weak, they had to subservient themselves only to survive.

If the three kingdoms suddenly disappeared the other kingdoms were already eyeing their corpses like vultures. Panicking the representative tried to kick Hiro as he felt his life in danger. 'I can't breathe! He is really going to kill me!'

Chills creped up the spines of the three representatives. They felt violated by the gazes of the others. It was like they suddenly lost all the political clout they once had. All three then looked at the crown prince only to see him trying to hide his sneer.

'He tricked us! He wanted this to happen!' x3

While the crown prince was powerful, he could not defend an entire empire. Thus even if he waged war only his people would be affected. The other kingdoms knew of Dylan's kind-hearted nature and during this battle for the throne, the prince needed to be extremely careful.

However what about if someone would fuck them up that did not belong to any kingdom? How would they even stop such a force? A kingdom's army exists to protect its citizens, but what happens if you cannot stop the enemy? The answer naturally became one of three truths. Subjugation, Cooperation, or Annihilation.

Hiro had no desire to annihilate countries, Dylan knew this, but he had a very clear bottom line. So the crown prince simply allowed Hiro and some arrogant bastards in the same room. And now he had a dog that would clear his enemies for free!

Amused at his plot coming to fruition Dylan then noticed the frigid stare coming from Hiro. The bloodlust coming from it was palpable for him alone as no one else detected it. The Butcher's face contained disappointment, disgust, and exasperation. Even though it only lasted for a moment Dylan felt it clearly.

Wanting to salvage the situation Dylan tried to reintegrate himself with Hiro once more. "Hiro, I think that should be enough, the Dominii empire will not interfere in whatever you decide to do with them. However please do not injure them further."

Hiro said nothing and slammed the man in his hand to the ground. He then turned away and went out the door. The representatives were all surprised at the rude exit of the butcher, but before they could comment. The rest of Heavenly Sword all entered the hall and similarly headed towards the exit.

Not sparing a glance to anyone else the San-Baka, Tsugumi, Ryuuka, Lene, and Jei all left with serious expressions. Xing and Alan also followed them and left. The only one to stop in front of the representatives and Dylan was Vanessa.

Dylan was surprised because time seemed to suddenly stop. A sad voice entered his ears as the blond empress of heavenly sword looked at him. However, she had a frown on her face as she spoke in a downhearted tone. "You made a very poor choice today your highness. I hope you don't regret it in the future."

"Wha?… What did I do Lady Vanessa?" asked the crown prince.

"If you wanted the kingdoms of your enemies destroyed, you could have just asked. If you needed a villain to do your dirty work, Hiro-sama already intended to be one. What he abhors the most are those without integrity. In trying to use him, my beloved lost all respect for you."
