Chapter 48

The next day, I was visiting the kids that was staying at my castle to talk and play with them. I decided to build an extension to accommodate the kids, complete with a playground and learning facilities. Of course, I had Ann search the entire kingdom for the best teachers and with adding the spoils I gained from the Shadow Guild's HQ, I could afford this. As I was telling the kids a story, Luke walked over to me.

"My lord, I have a report from the BAA. They're in a stalemate with the monsters right outside the Dwarven capital and asked for your assistance. Also, we will receive a guest from the Dark Elven Kingdom of the Southern Continent." Luke told me.

"Do you know who the guest is?" I asked.

"The queen."

Hearing that, I could only think that the reason for the visit is as a candidate for marriage to either her or her daughters. It's one thing to marry for love but I will NOT be put in the position of a political marriage. I feel that's more of a thing that should be done away with. I finish my story with the kids and told them that I'll see them later in the week. As I made my way towards the teleportation room, I sensed 3 unknown presences heading out of the teleportation room. I turn the corner to see a very beautiful female tan skinned elf with two tan skinned female elf guards. All three were very busty and all three had jet black hair with ocean blue eyes. They saw me and bowed.

"King Barnes of the Barnes Kingdom I presume. I am Queen Priscilla and these two are my royal bodyguards, Opal and Xenia. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." said Priscilla.

"The pleasure is all mine. I wish I could stay and chat but there's an urgent matter that I must go to outside of the Dwarven capital city." I said.

"We will tag along then."

"Do as you wish."

Queen Priscilla, Opal, and Xenia follow me into the teleportation room. A few minutes later, we arrive in the teleportation room in the Dwarven castle as we are met by William and Beth.

"Michael, I see you got my report. And who are these Dark Elves?"

"William, this is Priscilla, Queen of the Dark Elves and her two royal bodyguards. Opal and Xenia."

William and Beth bowed.

"Queen Priscilla, it is an honor to meet you. I am William, King of the Hearth Kingdom and she is Beth, my fiancé." William said to Queen Priscilla.

"Beth is also the second princess and general of the Marks Army." I added.

"It is an honor to meet you both too. King William and Princess Beth." Queen Priscilla replied.

"So William, how bad is it?"

"Our casualties is closing in on the 2,000 but no deaths. However the monsters are getting stronger by the minute. The situation is starting to get dire." William told me.

"So basically, you call me because the monsters are starting to get out of your control."

"Yes."

"Ok, it's time for me to put in more work after taking out the Shadow Build's HQ on the Southern Continent."

Priscilla and her bodyguards eyes widened when they heard this.

"You took out the Shadow Guild?"

"Yes. A few days back. They received my rage and my wrath. They tried to put one of my new wives thru rape torture and I made them all pay the price with that action."

Priscilla, Opal, and Xenia was shocked. The Shadow Guild was tough to bring down as far as the people in the world knew but they didn't take into account that I have the firearms that make me very broken in terms of power. Not many knew how powerful I am before I became King but a few people. some of my wives, William, Beth, the Evergreen, Hearth, and Marks Kingdoms. But even if you don't take into account my guns, my fighting prowess and the fact that I have Excalibur, I'm still over powered enough to take out the Shadow Guild.

I made my way to the city wall and met with the Dwarven King, King Garth.

"King Garth, I introduce my brother-in-law, King Barnes of the Barnes Kingdom. Also Queen Priscilla of the Dark Elves." William said.

"I've heard a lot about you, King Barnes and it's nice to finally meet you, Queen Priscilla." King Garth said, looking at me and Priscilla while extending his hand towards me for a hand shake.

"I hope everything you heard about me is all good things if it came from William." I joked and shook Garth's hand. He has a firm hand shake. King Garth laughed as William rolled his eyes. I chuckled. Queen Priscilla looked lost. I guess I should tell her some of pranks I pulled on William when this is done.

"Well then, I do want to join the Barnes Alliance but this situation has me in a bind as we need the mines to get the materials for our weapons and armor." King garth told me with a concerned face.

"I was hoping that the BAA would have been enough but I guess I was wrong." I said to Garth. I also need those metals for my current and future projects. Forming an alliance with Garth would insure that this world could advance into an industrial age and I can start arming the BAA with firearms. I know that muskets are nice but it does present a big problem with the rate of fire. I need to produce the 1873 Winchester repeating rifle to make a huge leap and that could be the difference maker when I head into battle against the Dark Lord's forces in the future.

"Well, the monsters are getting stronger from what William told me. Do you know how?" I asked.

"Not exactly but I have a hunch." Garth said to me.

"And that is?"

"Outside help. Either the Shadow Guild or the Dark Lord."

"You might be right. However, I think it could be the Dark Lord. I just took out the Shadow Guild a few days ago near Silverton and I destroyed their HQ."

"Nice, King Barnes."

"Please, call me Michael."

"I will as long as you call me Garth."

"Fair enough."

"So how are you going to deal with this problem?"

"The same way I dealt with the Iron Blood Imperial Army, OVER WELMING FIRE POWER!." I said then got louder as I said the last part. I summon my Sledgehammer. and jump down from the wall only to land on my feet. I know Priscilla, Opal, Xenia, and Garth must have dropped their jaws.

I see a group of monsters. You do look powerful but to me and my gun, just weak.

"HEY ASSHOLES, YOU WANT SOME? COME GET SOME!"

I open fire on the monsters. 6 people witnessed the brutality I show towards the monsters. 4 of them are just flabbergasted that I have a weapon that destructive. Soon, more monsters start to show up as I kill more monsters. I already had my ear buds in and 3 good songs come on. First was "Big Division" by Mick Gordon off of the "Doom Eternal" soundtrack, Second one was a metal spin on an old classic, the theme from the first stage of Dr. Wily's fortress in Mega Man 2 by the band, Nestalgica. The third was "Blow me away" by Breaking Benjamin, the theme from Halo 2. I got into a groove as I was having fun killing monsters left and right.

30 minutes later, the strongest of all the monsters came with a demon riding on it's back. I look at the demon and made my ear buds disappear.

"Damn you human, you're getting in the way of my plans to crash the dwarves."

"I have a name, ass goblin."

"You dare insult me, human?"

"Yes, I dare since I was the one that kill the demon leader of the Dark Lord's forces back when they invaded the Jimmu Kingdom."

"YOU ARE THE ONE THAT KILLED MY BROTHER! I'LL EAT YOUR HEART!"

"Bitch please! He said the same thing before I sliced him in half. You think you can kill me? Be my guest you fucktard."

I begin to open fire and the monster was getting hit but I was causing the damage that I needed to bring the monster down so I switched from gun to Excalibur and sliced one of the legs off. The monster roared and fell down before I stabbed the monster in the middle of his 2 eyes. I then "Quick Stepped to the demon. who fell to the ground when his ride fell.

"Be glad, you dumb fuck. You can see your brother soon. IN HELL!"

I swing Excalibur down on his neck and chopped his head off. With that, the monsters come to their senses and see the destruction I have done before seeing me holding up the demon's head. They knew that it would be certain death to stick around so they left quickly. I go to the city walk and jump up. I see 4 shocked faces and 2 happy faces as they were lip locking.

"William, Beth. Get a room. You 4 can pick your jaws off the ground. The show is over."

William and Beth blushed and left. Priscilla was the first to come out of shock and walked over to me.

"What powerful weapons you have. I knew I found the right man for the job I want to talk to you about."

"Before we talk about this job, I need to seal the deal with Garth about joining the Barnes Alliance. Garth, you ok?"

"Michael, that was the best display of brutality I have ever seen on any battlefield. I will join the Barnes Alliance and provide you with anything you need. I'll give you my daughters if you want them. I know you'll be doing a lot of great things in the future."

"Woah Garth, I never met your daughters and that's good and all but I'm don't want to take your daughters but I would like is unlimited access to materials for my projects as well as production of firearms."

"Done."

The Dwarven Kingdom is now a part of the Barnes Alliance.
