Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 208: Scarlett Broke Through to the Grandmaster Rank

The Tuiziya Kingdom, Throne Room.

Two mature men were talking in the grand throne room. One was sitting on the throne, while the other was standing respectfully at his right.

The one sitting on the throne had red hair and golden eyes, while the one standing beside him had silver hair and green eyes.

Their names were none other than Aldric Ravenholm and Foster Glover, the king of the Tuiziya Kingdom and his royal advisor.

King Aldric had summoned Foster to hear his opinion on attacking Nightshire City because he wanted to know if Foster had a more effective strategy for the attack or not.

"Your Majesty, sending one hundred thousand soldiers to attack Nightshire City is unwise, especially with tensions rising along the border," Foster said calmly.

"Then what do you suggest?" King Aldric inquired.

"How about we hire gangs or small organizations? If we offer them gold and status, I’m sure they will agree without hesitation," Foster voiced his suggestion.

He then added that once they took Nightshire City, they could seize the Mana Crystal Mine and the city’s treasure.

With this, they would not have to spend a single coin on rewards.

King Aldric’s lips curled up into a smile. "Your idea is good. We will go with it."

"Shall I begin the recruitment immediately, Your Majesty?" Foster inquired.

"Yes." King Aldric responded, "I will give you three days to gather one hundred thousand people."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Foster bowed slightly before finally walking out of the throne room.

With the name of the Tuiziya Kingdom behind him, he was confident he could gather one hundred thousand people within three days.

No!

Maybe he could even gather them in one or two days because there were countless small and medium-sized organizations in the kingdom, so it was not a hard task for him.

Shortly after Foster left, a soldier with red hair and green eyes stepped into the throne room.

His name was Ethan Greer, a 5-star mage and Brigadier General in the army.

General Ethan dropped to one knee and bowed his head before the throne, "Your Majesty, you summoned me."

King Aldric gave a slight nod. "Rise."

General Ethan stood straight and waited for the king’s command.

"General Ethan, the royal advisor is gathering one hundred thousand men from small organizations across the kingdom. I want you to lead them and attack Nightshire City." King Aldric commanded, "If possible, bring me the city mistress and a young man named Ren alive. If not, drag in what’s left of them."

"Nightshire City? Is this related to the deaths of Major Melvin, Captain Rory, and the Royal Envoy, Your Majesty?" General Ethan inquired.

"Yes." King Aldric responded, "But that is only part of it. They dared to defy a royal decree and took our cities. We must show them the consequences of trespassing into our kingdom. They are my subjects. They should obey, not oppose me."

Just as General Ethan was about to respond, a commotion outside the throne room reached his ears.

"Lady Anna, you can’t enter the throne room now." The red-haired soldier tried to stop a woman from entering the throne room.

The gorgeous lady had long blue hair and emerald eyes.

Her name was Anna Rose, a Grandmaster rank warrior and a leader of Velvet Organization, a powerful female faction in the Tuiziya Kingdom.

"Lady Anna, His Majesty is currently in an important discussion with Brigadier General Ethan. Please don’t disturb them." the brown-haired soldier did his best to block her path because letting her through could cost him his life.

"No! I must see His Majesty now!" Anna pushed the soldiers aside.

The royal guards kept blocking her path, but in the end, they could not stop her because they were much weaker than her.

A chill ran down their spines when King Aldric’s gaze fell on them because they had just made a serious mistake.

"Your Majesty, we beg your forgiveness. We could not prevent her from entering." The royal guards begged King Aldric to spare their lives because they didn’t want to die.

King Aldric said nothing and shifted his gaze to Anna. "Why do you want to see me, Anna?"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to join the mission to eliminate Nightshire City." Her voice trembled with hatred and rage.

There was a reason why she was furious and desired to destroy Nightshire City.

She was Major Melvin’s fiancée!

When she returned from her mission yesterday, her heart throbbed with happiness because she was finally going to see Melvin again after four months apart.

But that joy was shattered into pieces the moment she learned her fiancée was no longer in this world.

Nightshire City had killed her fiancée and destroyed her happiness, so she wanted to slaughter them all and reduce the city to rubble.

She would not rest until their streets ran red because that was the price for taking her fiancée from her forever.

"Sure." King Aldric agreed without thinking twice. "Go back and prepare yourself. We will attack Nightshire City in three days."

"Thank you for giving me this chance, Your Majesty." Anna bowed respectfully before turning around and leaving the throne room.

King Aldric returned his attention to General Ethan and spoke, "General Ethan, you may go now. Make sure you are fully prepared because you will lead one hundred thousand people to attack Nightshire City in three days."

"Understood, Your Majesty." General Ethan bowed respectfully and left.

King Aldric’s eyes gleamed with a terrifying sharpness as he thought of Nightshire City.

’Nightshire City, I will make you an example for anyone who dares to defy me.’

----

Nightshire City, Private Training Chamber.

’I finally broke through to the Grandmaster rank.’

Scarlett slowly opened her eyes.

Even though something good had just happened to her, there was no hint of happiness on her face.

Her city was still in danger, so her heart could not embrace the joy.

’I will check the situation first before going home.’

She rose to her feet and left the room.

As Scarlett was talking with her generals, Ren was surrounded by soldiers in the courtyard of the City Guard Headquarters.

He was the reason they received food supplies from other cities, so the soldiers gathered around him and expressed their admiration.

"Ren, I heard you’ve taken over two more cities. Is that true?"

"Haha, you are incredible as always, Ren."

"Are you here to pick up the City Mistress?"

"Ren, how about you marry the City Mistress and become the City Lord?"

"Ren, can my son join your organization when he turns eighteen?"

Like usual, they bombarded him with countless questions and praises without giving him time to say something, so he could only twitch his lips.

’Scarlett?!’

His expression turned happy when he caught sight of Scarlett.

But in the next second, his smile faded because Scarlett’s face looked drawn with fatigue and her eyes distant and clouded with thought.

’Hmm? Grandmaster rank?’

He knew about this information from his system.

"City mistress..."

"City mistress..."

"City mistress..."

The soldiers stepped aside to let her approach Ren because they knew their relationship.

When she stopped walking, Ren smiled softly at her. "Congratulations on breaking through to the Grandmaster rank."

Her subordinates were taken aback by his words.

"What?! Grandmaster rank?!"

"Haha! Great! Now, we have two Grandmaster rank awakeners!"

"You are the best City Mistress in the entire world!"

"I knew it! I knew our city mistress is also a genius!"

"Our city is getting stronger again!"

They were thrilled because their city had risen once more.

"You don’t look happy," Ren said gently. "Isn’t this supposed to be a joyful moment?"

One by one, the soldiers stopped laughing.

"Is it because of the Tuiziya Kingdom, city mistress?" the brown-haired man inquired.

"City Mistress, we’ve faced many big problems before. I’m sure we can overcome this one too," the blue-haired man uttered.

"That’s right, city mistress." The grey-haired man added, "I’m sure we will get through this together."

Scarlett looked at her subordinates before returning her attention to Ren. "Ren, let’s go home."

"Alright." Ren replied without hesitation.

"Take care of city mistress, Ren."

"See you both tomorrow!"

"Sleep well!"

The soldiers waved and called out as they watched the two of them leave together.

At the same time, Lexie was absorbing beast cores in her house.

She wanted to break through to 4-star quickly because she didn’t want to be protected by Ren forever.

She wanted to fight by his side, too.

’I have to break through to 4-star quickly.’
