Chapter 759 Sovereign Forces
Six hours earlier…
The group of 36 emperors from the central plain, since Julius' group of five had gone to confront Max, was heading toward the war temple, knowing the demon emperors had already retreated with their army, but right then, they noticed Azaroth's domain.
They had seen it from afar too but hadn't paid it much attention, thinking someone had used some kind of formation. Now, however, they were close and could tell this sphere hanging in the sky wasn't the result of some formation, but it was…
"A domain?!" One of them exclaimed in shock and disbelief, "I didn't know someone among the people in charge of setting up the war temple had formed a domain."
"This shouldn't be the case because if they had, the alliance would have known about it, and they wouldn't have them here so early." Someone else commented.
Then,
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They all disappeared one after another, appearing in the sky near Lady Verana's group, looking down in the domain with their divine senses.
Immediately, their shock turned into disbelief when they saw Azaroth.
"A King mage has formed a domain?!" A middle-aged lady in elegant yellow robes exclaimed in disbelief.
"This is indeed shocking."
"Who is this guy? Someone from the alliance?"
A man in green robes asked Lady Verana after nodding at her in greeting.
"Unfortunately, no, Sir Hugo." Lady Verana shook her head.
"Oh?" The man named Hugo raised his brows slightly and curiously asked, "Then what force does he belong to? Why haven't I heard a king mage from the seven sovereign forces forming a domain?"
Other emperors also looked at Lady Verana with curious expressions, wondering exactly the same.
Lady Verana shook her head yet again and said, her voice carrying a hint of amusement, "He isn't from any of the sovereign forces."
Lady Verana gave her an indifferent glance. All of these emperors were from the sovereign forces or monarch-ranked forces and didn't fear the alliance, mainly because their forces were a part of it too. Therefore, they didn't fear or respect her.
The redhead narrowed her eyes when she saw her look, but instead of saying anything, she just scoffed. Although Verana didn't have any force backing her, she was close to many people in the alliance.
While everyone was surprised by her words, a red-haired woman in blood-red robes furrowed her delicate brows as she coldly said, "Just tell us who he is."

"He is the king of the Green Leaf Kingdom we are in right now." Lady Verana announced, surprising them yet again.
"Interesting!" Hugo muttered, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
"What's he doing, though? Training? Testing his physical prowess?" Someone commented, seeing Azaroth fighting the only two demons alive right now without using his mana.
Just then,
Weng~ Weng~
Two leaves materialized on Azaroth's either side and shot toward the demons, who couldn't dodge in time, and pierced their foreheads, killing them.
Phew!
He then exhaled deeply, his body relaxing. After that, a wave of wood elemental mana surged out and covered his body. When the mana disappeared, there was no sign of blood or any injury on his body, and his clothes were tidy and sparkling clean.
He then glanced back at the king mage of the Williams family, who now had recovered quite a bit from his injuries, and then the old man who had killed the two demon kings on the battlefield before here, and nodded.
After that he swept his gaze across the other six king mages, who promptly gave him a ninety-degree bow, "Thank you, my King, for saving us."
Azaroth nodded, a hidden gleam flashing in his eyes hearing their sincere 'My King' address. He then shook his head and sighed, "It's unfortunate that I came late. Otherwise I could have saved more of you."
Among these six king mages, one was an independent mage, two were from the Martell family, and one each from the other three families. When they heard this, their expressions fell, but they shook their heads and said, "No need to feel pity for them, my King. They lost their lives while defending our motherland and must be proud."
The independent king mage, a woman who looked to be around 50 years old and had streaks of gray hair, glanced at them, looking amused.
Azaroth nodded before saying, "Alright, you guys go, rest, and recover."
As he said this, the domain covering them disappeared, and he flew up to where the emperors were, his hands behind his back and a calm look on his face.

He swept his gaze across them, which made everyone frown in displeasure. Sure, having a domain in the king realm was incredible, and it probably made him as strong as most of them here, but he was still a king mage and one without any backing. So, his arrogant behavior was inexcusable. But before any of them could say anything…
Azaroth unfolded his hands and bowed his head lightly toward them, saying, "I thank you all for coming here. With you here, I'm sure my small kingdom will be safe."
Again, before they could respond, he continued, "However, I wonder why the Central Plains Alliance has decided to make it an official battlefield."
The emperors could see he was dissatisfied and somewhat angry, but they didn't feel anything wrong with it because he was the ruler of the kingdom, which the alliance's decision of designating it as one of the official battlefields would definitely negatively affect.
They stayed silent because he didn't have an answer for him. In the past wars, the smaller kingdoms would be just minor battlefields, and the strongest people who fought there wouldn't be any stronger than kings. But with the Green Leaf becoming a main battlefield, emperors and even monarchs would most likely fight here. One reckless move from their end while fighting and the kingdom would be wiped off the face of the earth.
Hugo stepped forward when no one spoke up and said, "We aren't aware why this decision was made, but I have an offer for you that, if you accept, will ensure your kingdom's safety throughout the war."
"Oh?"
