SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 208: Leaving for war

After storing the quiver and antidote potion veils in the storage ring, Kent followed the ladies to the queen's hall, where the queen's mother is waiting for his arrival.

The hurried footsteps sounded loudly in the corridors. Soya is walking beside him, and two servant ladies are holding his long cape in the back. More and more women were gathering behind Kent as they heard loud, rhythmic footsteps.

As he reached the queen's hall, only Kent stepped inside, while the rest stopped at the entrance. Kent bowed to the queen's mother and stood before her in silence.

The queen slowly stood up while staring at her son. Even though she is faking her bravery, inside she is afraid that she might lose the prince in the war. Praying for the Lord Phoenix, she passed a silk cloth letter to Kent.

As Kent unfolded the silk cloth, he saw the details of the Vermillion Bird clan army, their number, their formation, and their exact location.

"Eric, they have five chariots, including the Vermillion Bird clan patriarch. They were moving in a wheel formation, with four chariots on each side and the patriarch chariot at the center. 25000 Mages is not a small matter. Also, there are 8 Supreme Magas who are very powerful. Do you need time to think, or will you leave now?" The queen asked with a serious look.

"There is no need to waste time. The 25000 magas were dried leaves waiting to be burned down. Please, give your blessing, I will leave at this moment." Kent replied confidently while bowing to the queen.

Caressing the long hair of Kent, which drooping on his shoulders, the queen walked outside along with Kent. While the queen is walking towards the chariot with Kent, all the women in the palace follow behind with loud cries of cheering.

After a long march, the queen brought him to the open ground, where the golden chariot stood in wait. With three sides covered and an arched roof over the head, the chariot can easily protect the fighter from sneaky attacks. Each wheel of the chariot is equal to the height of Kent.

Mana stones and magical inscriptions were attached to all the sides of the chariot to fly freely in the sky. In the front is a small cabin designed for the charioteer to sit in. In the back, several spears, maces, and swords were arranged in neat order for the fighter to use in an emergency.

While Kent seriously checking the chariot features, the queen gestured for the servants to bring the war flag of the Phoenix clan. She first prayed while holding the war flag and passed it to Kent. "Fix this in the top spike of the chariot. This flag is the pride of the chariot fighter. Losing this flag is nothing but losing our pride." The queen spoke in a serious tone.

Kent nodded his head in understanding and rose into the air to fix the flag at the top of the chariot. The phoenix head symbol unfurled as he fixed the flag.

After finishing other formalities, Soya came with a plate containing fire and fire stone powder. She turned the fire around Kent's head as war custom and placed the tilak on Kent's forehead with firestone powder.

Finally, the queen called a name loudly, and in the next second, a young girl with leather armor came to the front of the crowd. "Madvi, do you remember what I said?" the queen asked the lady with a serious look.

The young lady, named Madvi, nodded her head with a sincere look.

"That's good… Now take the steed and ride the chariot. Follow each and every command of the prince. Half of the victory of war is decided on the charioteer's ability, don't make the Phoenix clan bow down before others." The queen replied while passing a black glass orb, which has the same patterns as a chariot.

Bowing his head, Madvi occupied the charioteer position and sat in wait for Kent's order. Before mountaining on the chariot, Kent bowed to Queen Mother for blessing. After waving his hand to Soya, whose eyes turned moist, Kent stepped on the chariot took his position.

While all the clam members were shouting Prince Eric's name excitedly in the flowery rain, Kent took out the Phoenix curse bow from his storage ring. Holding the bow string at the top, he tweaked it like a gukin string.

Instantly, the sound of a phoenix cry reverberated all around the palace. With excited shouts followed by joyous laughter and a quick command from Kent, the charioteer lady fixed the black glass orb to the chariot and placed her hand on top of it. Check out m_vl_em_p_yr stories

Neither making any noise nor disturbing the wind, the chariot rose to the sky and flowed towards the western side, from which the vermillion bird clan was marching forward. Soon, the chariot disappeared into the skies.

As the queen walked inside with a heavy heart, one by one, all the women left inside. Soya, who stood outside, continued to stare at the empty sky with tears streaking along her cheeks. The personal servants began consoling her. But she didn't stop crying for a long time.

Eternal Sun Sect.

Outside the entrance gate, a lady covered in dark clothes who followed Kent from Arena stood in wait in the darkness. For a long time, she has been hesitating to go inside the sect. But there are always disciples at the entrance who stand guard.

"I can't wait anymore. I must meet him now and leave for the sect before the sun rise." The lady muttered while staring at the entrance.

After adjusting her emotions and demeanor, the lady walked out of the shadows and slowly approached the entrance gate of the Eternal Sun Sect. As it is nighttime, there is no one in line. While avoiding staring into the eyes of disciples, the lady approached the disciple who is responsible for verification.

Her heart began racing as she moved closer. If her identity is somehow revealed, the entire Eternal Sun Sect will be after her.

"Stop…" Suddenly, the verification guy stood up with a quick shout.
