Everything that Feihren commanded was then immediately put into action.

It was great news for the people in the western district that they were suddenly going to receive assistance from the capital. In the history of the Wolfenstein Kingdom, they had never experienced such a thing as 'calamity relief funds'. At first they even hesitated to accept the gracious help from their king.

The reformed system on the flow of how the taxes and funds work within the kingdom had a miraculous effect as the business district recovered easily, within mere days.

The side-effect of using the WMD towards the outskirts of the western wall was amazingly helpful for the merchants and traders that are coming from the southwest parts of the Blaz Continent. It made the path towards Wolfenstein easier, and very flat.

As for making cooperative trades, Feihren had sent delegates towards Sechua City. Mages who were able to use flight magic for a prolonged period of time and were adept at communication magic were the ones sent to quicken the pace of the travel and to have an easier method to relay the information to and fro. It only took a week before Feihren received the news of Allen's cooperation.

Feihren then dispersed workers and engineers that he personally taught crude lessons on the improvement of what they use as 'log bridges', and instructed them to build a few within the Jujelei River that connects the Central Woodlands to the Wolfenstein Kingdom.

This would ease the traveling of ordinary merchants coming from Sechua City. It would also increase the number of goods that one could take across the river, as they do not have to worry about drying the goods after getting wet in the river.

After putting extreme effort into helping with the damage that was done to the Wolfenstein Kingdom, Feihren didn't forget that all this was leading to them avenging the fallen soldiers and citizens of the kingdom. Within the same week, Prime Minister Marvin had personally gone to the dwarven village, New Coboro Village, to deal with what Feihren had asked for. Weirdly enough, Old man Mendi and Yeshua suddenly volunteered to help Feihren personally as they asked for permission to go to the Wolfenstein capital themselves.

Leaving the New Coboro Village as it is would not be a problem, as this place was already akin to an impenetrable fortress. Village chief Mendi would also gladly assist Feihren in turning the Wolfenstein Kingdom into something similar to the village in terms of raw defense.

With the plan of bolstering the defense of the Wolfenstein Kingdom already in place, the last thing to do was to arrange the plan of attack. This was a matter that is on the scale of an entire kingdom. As such, Feihren does not want to leave the citizens blind. He had publicly made the announcement of waging war against the Garudia Kingdom. Unexpectedly, the citizens were not against this decree. Instead, they were even glad that the king was planning to take action.

Making this move would establish that the Wolfenstein Kingdom is not something to be bullied.

Although the plan was simple and straightforward, Feihren had proposed that he would scout out the Garudia Kingdom first, all by himself. As long as it is within his power and ability, he would not want any risk befalling any of the soldiers that are going to be deployed within this war. Feihren was not confident enough that he could take on an entire kingdom by himself. This was different from the eastern stronghold and the black market back then.

Every night for the entire week, Feihren traveled back and forth from Wolfenstein to the outskirts of Garudia in order to assess the situation properly. During his scouting, he had taken note that the kingdom itself hadn't taken any action regarding what happened to their initial attack.

The second thing that Feihren had taken into consideration was the size of the Garudia Kingdom. It was not what he had expected. This kingdom spanned four to five times larger than that of the Wolfenstein Kingdom!

It was an oddly shaped area, with a gigantic letter "C" as its structure. One end was touching the edges of the mountain ranges as the other was connected to a thick jungle, with the Jujelei River on the other side of the forest.

This shape was for the purpose of easily accessing the breeding grounds of the flying beasts on the mountain ranges. The vacant place in the middle of the letter "C" served as some sort of airfield and a runway for these beasts to take flight in an organized manner. It was akin to a gigantic airport.

The capital and the castle were situated at the furthest part of the kingdom.

'The entire open field is about 30 times the size of the diameter of an explosion of my WMD mode Demonic Carbine...' Feihren inwardly considered as he started calculating and clearing the steps in order to have a clean victory. 'The breeding ground huh...' He stared intently at the eastern part of the Garudia Kingdom.

...

Garudia Kingdom's Capital.

Within the throne hall was an infuriated figure that kept walking back and forth. His hands were fidgeting as the man started biting his fingernails. It has been 2 weeks since the deployment of the winged troops that were assigned for the initial attack on the Wolfenstein Kingdom.

"What's taking them so long to return?!" 

King Ivan was now in a panic as it seems that the attack might have failed. There were only three possibilities that could have happened during the attack.

First is that the general that was assigned for the attack had suddenly betrayed the Garudia Kingdom and had usurped the throne of the Wolfenstein Kingdom for himself. This was highly unlikely as the general was one of the generals most loyal to the throne of the Garudia.

Second is that they were successful in the destruction of the western district, yet they had severe wounds and were still recuperating along their return. This was seemingly viable, but the fact that it had already been 2 weeks now made it clear that there was only one other result.

The attack had utterly failed and none escaped to do the report what had happened...

"Damn it!" 

King Ivan cursed as a figure went into the throne hall, smiling towards him.

"Oh? It seems that your plan has failed? What's the matter? Why can't you get hold of an already dead kingdom?" Louie mockingly spoke to Ivan as he laughed maniacally.

"You... You definitely did not tell the truth!" Ivan retorted as Louie continued...

"Hmm.... I did say that they have a new king. I don't believe I ever said he was weak? Oh, just so you know, he was the one responsible for the death of the 80,000 soldiers of the Wolfenstein Kingdom back then." Louie added as he continued laughing.

The figure of King Ivan streaked forth as a saber with a reasonable length pierced through Louie's chest. Everything happened so fast that it was barely a split second!

"You... dare!" King Ivan mocked as he pierced the saber deeper.

"Heh... Really? Then it is too bad that you're this pathetic... Glad that my grandpa taught me this 'Dark art' a while back... Can't believe I would meet someone even more foolish than I am... hahaha" 

With his dying breath, Louie muttered these words as his body started dispersing into a thick black smoke...

King Ivan took a few steps back as the smoke covered the throne hall. Within the next moment, the smoke started invading Ivan's body. Forcefully inserting itself through his mouth, ears, nostrils, and even the tiny gaps of his tear ducts... King Ivan screamed in terror as the smoke slowly snuck itself into every fiber of his being.

Falling flat on the floor, the body of King Ivan shook multiple times before he stood up again... His eyes glowed with ominous red, as he cracked his neck back into its 'proper' shape.

"Ah... It feels good... to be King again!"
