Chapter 66

Kane jumped off his warg and threw his lance into a group of Kokarian knights. It made a 3 man shishkabob.

When he landed he was surrounded by another three men but he quickly delt with it by lighting two of them on fire and smashing out the brains of another with his morning star.

Two knights came from behind him but an orc came up from behind the pair and smashed their heads together.

Jag was also nearby and was protecting the mayor from a group of knights. He was duel wielding an ax and sword. The man was a skilled warrior and the knights could not harm him at all.

The battle did not last long as not only were the knights from the kingdom of Kokar smaller in number they were weak as well.

The sounds of metal clashing and blood-filled screams died down. It was all silent except for the corpses that Kane had barbecuing.

Then cheering could be heard. Smiles blossomed from townspeople and they had tears in their eyes. It was all joy and relief. Well not fully. Some were throwing up everywhere as then blood was too much.

The Mayor followed by his family, Lo, Vern, and several others came up to Kane.

Without any pushing, the Mayor got on his knees to kneel. Everyone soon followed.

"Thank you for your highness's kindness and salvation. The people of Crazus Town are in your debt. If you will allow it we would be willing to join your kingdom. We may not have much but we are hard workers and I promise that we will be loyal to only you" said the Mayor.

"The magic you used was unique and I have never seen it before. It makes an old man excited about life. I would be honored to help train others in magic to serve the Iron Rose. I hope we may seek knowledge and teach it together" said Lo.

"I am sorry for my doubt your highness," said Yea.

"Thank you for saving us and for letting me see my mother one more time," said Allea.

"I pledge my sword to you," said Vern.

Kane looked at the people of Crazus Town. He could see the reverence and sincerity in their eyes. Seeing their expressions made him happy. Not only had he helped them but it was his first town it would be very useful to him.

"I am very glad to have you join me. You may have many questions and I promise to answer all of them in time. For now, I want to welcome you to the Deus Belli Empire and the Iron Rose Kingdom. Tonight we will celebrate!"

Kane raised his hand in the air and his troops did the same with their weapons and cheered.

"For Deus Belli and the Iron Rose!"

The townspeople started cheering as well.

Kane helped the mayor up.

"I know we have much to discuss but for now let our worries disappear and drink till we drop."

"I like the sound of that your highness. Thank you again for all you have done."

"It is my pleasure mayor."
