Armipotent Chapter 559
Advertisement
Unfortunately for Terry Brook, the other six Epic Ranks including his son, Gareth Brook did not follow him into attacking Julius Brent.
Julius Brent was about to make his move but he did not need it as the ten Generals arrived. Two of them blocked Terry Brook. One General kicked out the sword while another General stomped on the old man's back. The two Ancient Ranks easily stopped the Epic Rank.
"What should we do about this old man, My Lord? Should we kill him?" General Ralph looked toward Julius Brent.
"No, don't kill him! We have a good use for him," Julius Brent smiled and approached the old man. Meanwhile, his eyes were looking at Gareth Brook, "Aren't you curious why your father tried to stop me? Aren't you guys curious about what happened to Rosalie the Flame Queen?"
"Don't listen to this Traitor! Kill him!" Terry Brook tried to use flame in his hand to break free but General Ralph easily negated the fire. He stomped on the hand and broke the hand as the bone-cracking sound resounded.
"Huuuu, doesn't this make you guys even more curious to listen to my story… No, it's not my story but my Master's story, Commander of the Fotia Legion, Commander Alton," Julius Brent smiled at the six remaining Epic Ranks. They were quite young for someone who had reached an Epic Rank. The history they listened to was that the Ambrose Family betrayed the Kingdom and killed the hero of the kingdom, Rosalie the Flame Queen.
Gareth Brook's eyes widened when the name of Commander Alton was brought up. That was just another legendary figure within the kingdom. From what he knew, Commander Alton decided to live in solitude so it was a surprise to hear that Commander Alton had a disciple.
"You are right, Commander Alton is the one who established the Revolution Army. The Revolution Army is his heritage but he is too weak to lead the Revolution Army so I am carrying his will to fight in his stead and also for our hero who freed us from the demon, Rosalie the Flame Queen.
She was poisoned by Robert Kingsley, the former head of the Kingsley Family and the current Right-Wing Guardian. Do you know that Robert did not plan to kill her but to make our hero be a prostitute for the upper-class people? Do you know that? Yes, Crystal Ambrose never assassinated her best friend but it was the Kingsley Family, the current ruling family of the Kingdom. They got rid of obstacles without tainting their reputation, quite well-planned," Julius Brent smiled and squatted next to Terry Broke, "Did I say the truth, old man?"

He gripped Terry's white hair and pulled his face up for his son to see, "Tell them the truth, old man! Brook Family is just a Viscount before but how could you climb so quickly without much accomplishment? There's been no war or major event for years after our war against the Great Demon, how can your family climb up so quickly?"
Terry Brook tried to spit at Julius Brent's face but the wind reflected the spit, and it landed back on Terry's wrinkled face, "Don't listen to his nonsense. The Ambrose Family is the culprit behind the Queen's assassination! It has nothing to do with the Royal Family! They are just making an excuse to justify their action! They are traitors of the kingdom!"
"I have enough proof of my claim. Why would the ex-Vice Commander Allan of the Fotia legion defect to Warmir to fight the Lionax Kingdom? Why would My Master create a Revolution Army to fight the Lionax Kingdom? Do you know the reason why ex-vice Commander Larry joined the Lionax Kingdom but never took a part in the military position? Don't you think that all of these are suspicious?" Julius Brent's smile got wider as he looked at Terry brook.
"I don't expect that the dogs of the Kingsley Family would be this loyal but maybe you will change your mind with this," Julius Brent took out a green pouch from his clothes and took out something inside the green couch. It was white, about the two fingers big, and it wriggled as Julius Brent held the thing.
"Do you know what this is?" He showed the big wriggling worm in his hand to Terry Brook, "This is Bone Devourer. An old tool for torture. Once the worm enters your body it will devour your bone and your skull without killing you. A wonderful creature isn't it?"
Terry Brook showed a terrified expression. Of course, he knew about this Bone Devourer Bone. One of the cruel things used to torture the prisoners.
Julius Brent did not stop there as he took another pouch. This one was a black-colored pouch. He took the same size worm but it was black instead of white. The worm wriggled in his hand, and he showed the second worm to Terry Brook. If the white worm was a bone-eating worm, the black one was the flesh-eating worm.

"Flesh Devourer. They only eat flesh, including your organs. This thing can kill even Ancient Rank in the most painful way," Julius Brent smiled, "I will let you eat the white ones and the black one after if you don't tell the truth, so what's your choice?"
"I will tell you everything I know! I will tell everything I know!" Terry Brook was terrified. He immediately snitched and told everything he knew about the fall of the Flame Queen.
Gareth Brook had a disbelief expression on his face as he heard his father's words. He never thought that the Flame Queen was killed by the Kingsley Family. Then he recalled Julius Brent's words early. It was ironic instead that he called Julius Brent, who tried to bring justice to their hero while they were serving the real traitor.
"Let's stop this conflict and join my cause. We will bring justice to our hero!" Julius Brent's face turned solemn and raised his voice. He then threw Terry Brook to his son's feet, "Our hero deserves more than just to become a name of a city. She is more than that!"
Rosalie the Flame Queen. The Lionax Kingdom would never forget that name. Everyone adored her, men and women no exception. The children idolized the Flame Queen. If you ask ten children what they wanted to be when they grew up, all of them would have the same answer. They wanted to be like The Flame Queen. Even though she died years ago, her name had a big influence on the people of the Lionax Kingdom. Julius Brent tried to use this name to his advantage. To gain support from the people of the kingdom.
Julius Brent walked toward Gareth Brook and offered his hand, "Let's bring justice to our Hero,"
Gareth Brook looked at the hand and then looked at Julius Brent's face. After some hesitation, Gareth Brook reached the hand, "I am willing to follow your cause, My Lord. From today onwards, the Brook Family will only be loyal to you, my Lord." Gareth Brook knelt.
'This is working. I should this to my advantage but it's not too late either,'
Just like that, Julius Brent captured Glimmer City easily. It was not even half an hour. He captures the city because the nobles joined the Revolution Army. Of course, the revelation was not the main cause. The nobles realized that they could not win against the Revolution Army so they defected.
*** ***
Glimmer City's city hall
"Harold! I want the truth about Queen Rosalie to spread within the kingdom in two days. Can you make it?" Julius Brent looked at General Harold who was in charge of the information network of the Revolution army.
"Leave it to me, my Lord. I can do that with the Revolution Army's networking power," General Harold nodded his head in response. Rosalie the Flame Queen had a big influence within the kingdom. Julius wanted to create chaos even between the forces of the Lionax Kingdom. He wanted everyone to know the truth, hoping that the nobles would join his side.
That way, he could also hurt the Kingsley Family's credibility and justify their action. So when the Revolution Army managed to take down the Kingsley Family, the people would easily accept them in power.
"Two days until our clash against the main force. I will visit Orranor World and call the Valean Kingdom's force to aid us in the battle. I will leave the army in your guys' hand," Julius Brent stood up from the main seat and left the city hall.

Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
