The Alliance Marriage Went Wrong

Chapter 135 - Surprise Loving Friend

Commander Nico Petrus simply smiled despite the obvious angry expression of the Alorian King. However, he soon put away his bow and continued to fight again.

Once again, King Declan shifted his gaze to his son the Crown Prince. His son might be quite capable but... even a fool would know that he was no match for the Crown Prince of Qalagon!

"I'll go and help His Highness. If Arin Helev managed to knock him down and used it against us, we will be done for," one of the Generals said and tried to rush towards the Crown Prince, but...

"I'll do it myself," King Declan brushed off his suggestion in a determined voice.

"Your Majesty!"

Despite the protest of his soldiers, King Declan unsheathed his sword and rushed towards the area where his son was struggling to fight the Qalagon Crown Prince.

Arin Helev was pressing his sword against the sword of the Alorian Crown Prince when a huge force suddenly knocked him from behind, causing him to drop his sword and fell to the ground!

He saw King Declan attempting to attack him again before he could pick up his sword. However, he used his legs to make the King involuntary took a few steps backwards. Then he gets up and quickly picked up his sword before the King could recover.

"Are you alright, Your Highness?" It was Commander Nico who asked the question. When he saw the father and son coming at the Crown Prince, he quickly rushed to aid him.

Crown Prince Arin nodded and shifted his attention to King Declan right away. "Take care of the Alorian Crown Prince. I will deal with their King," he instructed the Commander who was very quick to comply.

"It's a pity that I have to fight someone who is my father's age," Arin Helev said to King Declan. "However, you asked for it and I won't go easy on you."

King Declan smirked as he rushed forward and take the initiative to attack the young Crown Prince first. However, Arin Helev blocked his attack and they pressed their swords against each other's swords.

The Crown Prince pushed his sword forward, making the King retreated before he suddenly withdrew his sword. King Declan almost lose his footing due to the force but he barely managed to stand.

"Are you proud of your skills?" King Declan asked Crown Prince Arin. "I'm not one you can belittle, Arin Helev. Do you even know all my accomplishments even before you were born?"

"I was told that the King of Alora was a true warrior during his days as the Crown Prince and early days as the King. I respect you for that," Arin Helev replied and added, "However, do you know why we only have one youth? It's so that we won't be glorious forever. Your time is already over, King Declan."

Arin Helev immediately attacked the King of Alora the moment he finished talking. Though King Declan had already reached his late 40s, he was still pretty capable. However, his agility couldn't be compared to the young Crown Prince who was known for his great agility. He was struggling because of that and it put him at a disadvantage.

Commander Nico didn't have any problem in fighting the young Alorian Crown Prince. It wasn't that the Crown Prince wasn't capable.

Nico Petrus wasn't compared to Crown Prince Arin for no reason. His skills and everything was no less than Crown Prince Arin and that's why the Alorian Crown Prince was no match for him, but...

Just when he was about to end the fight, he noticed how the General of Alora Army released an arrow towards the Crown Prince who was busy fighting King Declan. Putting aside the fight with the Alorian Crown Prince, he rushed to Arin Helev's side and strike down the arrow.

The Alorians released another three arrows and the Commander managed to strike down two of them. However, one was planted just below his left shoulder!

When Arin Helev noticed Commander Nico who was shot by an arrow, he ran to him right away. Filled with rage, he picked up one of the swords which were on the ground and threw it towards the soldiers who released the arrow. The sword landed on the chest of one soldier, causing him to collapse to the ground!

"Commander Nico," Arin Helev uttered as he holds the Commander.

"I'm fine, Your Highness. It's just a single arrow shot wound," the Commander of the Petrus Army said as he tightened his grip on his sword. Then he lifted his other hand and broke the wooden part of the arrow which was planted below his left shoulder. Then he noticed the King of Alora who was coming at the Crown Prince again.

"Let's continue fighting," he said to the Crown Prince and tried to continue the fight, until...

One of the Generals of the Alora Army ran towards the King with a flustered face. "Your Majesty, we spotted the soldiers and flags of the Zoris Kingdom marching towards this place. They will be here soon!"

King Declan's usual calm demeanor was gone when he heard the news. "Zoris?" he asked with disbelief. They were really here to aid their closest ally?!

"How many are they?"

"We can't be sure but they will be 100000 at most!"

"We can't continue fighting, Your Majesty. It will be the same as asking them to wipe us all away!" One of the Generals said to the King.

King Declan glanced around and noticed how they weren't in a situation to fight another 100000 soldiers. If the Qalagons really managed to wipe them off, then defeating the capital will be a piece of cake!

"Retreat!" he finally commanded, much to the relief of his Generals.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

The Qalagons watched with joy as the Alorians retreated to their border. Despite being at a disadvantage when the war started, they were still the ones who prevailed in the end!

"Shall we just let them go like that?" Commander Nico asked Crown Prince Arin. Judging from the look on his face, it was clear that he was still not satisfied with what they achieved.

"It's fine. They already lost enough soldiers," the Crown Prince simply said. "We still have our capital to worry about. Besides, if they were to attack us again in the future, they will have to think hard."

Nico Petrus simply smiled and turned around while Crown Prince Arin thought of what the Alorian General said.

The Zoris soldiers were here? How come he didn't know anything about this?

He let out a sigh when he understood the situation. Maybe his surprise loving friend did something behind his back again.

Vance Amias. It had been a while since they last saw each other.....
