LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 303. The Battle of 2 Lions.

The Albion Empire withdrew its troops. They have now resolved the misunderstanding of Regulus territory.

"Albion Imperial forces, retreat!" Agenor screaming.

The Albion region troops breathed a sigh of relief as the matter could be resolved without fighting. Duke Gigas Leontios and his army retreated with the Albion Imperial Army.

"Sad. My plan to pit the Albion Empire and the Regulus region failed. However there would still be plenty of opportunities in the future to destroy Regulus' territory and become the Emperor of the Lion Heart Empire, "inner Duke Gigas Leontios.

"Duke Gigas, did I tell you to leave?"

Duke Gigas stopped, then turned around and looked towards Iris.

"Iris, isn't this matter over? What do you want to say to me?'

Iris raised her hand into the air and all the Regulus region troops were ready to attack. Diana and the Archers aim for Leontios' 1,000 men. It was as if understanding Agenor was telling his troops to stay away from Leontius' forces.

"Iris, what do you mean?"

"Duke Gigas, I'm not as gentle as Altair and Lazarus who still turn a blind eye to all the evil you and your followers have done."

Duke Gigas Leontios smiled widely. "Do you have any evidence of my crimes? If you accuse me without proof Regulus will pay dearly!"

"Damian come!"

"According to your orders, Saint iris." Damian went beside Iris, then opened his helmet.

Duke Gigas Leontios was shocked when he saw Damian who had forgotten the former vassal knight of the Viscount Hall.

"Duke Gigas, do you still remember me?" Damian looked at Duke Gigas sharply.

"Iris, do you want to slander me with false accusations, evidence and witnesses? As a Saint you're narrower than you seem."

"Damian, did you see Duke Gigas visiting Viscount Hall and Baron Smith?"

"I swear on behalf of Goddess Electra I saw Duke Gigas with Count Sunny visiting Lord Hall. I stood guard at the entrance that night and just before Lord Hall, his family and all his followers were slaughtered. I managed to survive and heard the assassin say the name Duke Gigas." Damian answered.

Everyone was shocked to hear Damian's confession. They did not trust Knights like Duke Aslan Leontios to do such a cruel thing.

"Haha. Do you swear by the name of Dewi Electra? Did you know someone who swears a false oath will have a tragic fate?"

"Duke Gigas, do you dare to swear?" Iris stared intently at Duke Gigas Leontios.

"I swear on behalf of Goddess Electra I didn't do it all!" Duke Gigas shouted.

1000 Leontios' men were terrified when they heard Duke Gigas swear. They know the true nature of the cruel Duke Gigas Leontios and justify all means to achieve his goals.

"Duke Gigas is lying!" Celine says.

"Sufuku. Even a Demon would not swear when he was wrong." Iris chuckles.

"Who's the kid?"

"Celine, has an Eye Of True Skill and can see someone lying or not. Duke Gigas, there is no reason to forgive you. I really hope you regret your actions and repent. Bring me those 30 people!" Iris ordered.

The Orcs brought 30 criminals and two of them were Nobles of Leontios.

Iris gives a notebook that lists the crimes of Duke Gigas Leontios and his followers. At once Altair's face flushed with anger as he read it.

"Duke Leontios, as a Saint I cannot allow this evil! Human trafficking, the forced slavery of beggars and vagabonds to become mine slaves with little and no paid food, corruption, premeditated murder, the massacre of the Viscount Hall family, Viscount Iloyd, Baron Gray, and so on, Count Arman and a few other nobles who know all your crimes. The trade of drugs and forbidden potions, eating your own aid money given to your people from the Lion Heart Empire, gives very little wages to your people, he said, having my followers disguise themselves as bandits to rob merchants, murder young women, kidnap the family of the Imperial Capital Royal Noble Lion Heart and threaten his family, torturing inhumane mine workers to death, then bury him around the mine...." Iris continued to recite all the crimes of Duke Gigas Leontios.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing all of Iris's indictment, but Duke Leontios smiled to cover up her guilty expression.

"Cooperate with concubine Fiona to poison Empress Florencia, cooperate with Count Baul, participate in the Orc Village massacre at the border of Albion Empire and Lion Heart Empire, respectively, The massacre of the Viscount Ragna family of the Albion Empire and the capture of 3 Material mines in the Border of the Albion Empire which was the right of the Albion Empire by creating a fake map that resulted in war." Iris gave the original map of the Albion Empire and the Lion Heart Empire, then gave it to Agenor.

Agenor and all his troops gave off a bloodthirsty aura.

"You embezzled the war fees given by the Lion Heart Empire for the purchase of armor Artifacts, weapons, potions and all war supplies. You and your well-trained retainers remain silent in the rear line, while Aslan and Leandro's forces fight in the front row." Iris gave off a dense killing aura as well as all the troops of Regulus region.

"You're just accusing me! I didn't commit all the crimes you charged with."

"You still don't confess! Pierre was the one who reported your crimes in the embezzlement of war funds."

"Pierre!" the Inner Duke Gigas Leontios.

"Sufuku. Wouldn't it be better for me to see right out of her memory for all your crimes to come to light." Reese gave off a bloodthirsty aura.

"No! You're going to kill me!"

"I swear in the Name of the Gods I will not kill you."

"A Demon Race is unbelievable. You guys want to trap me here! Do you want to fight an all-out war against Leontios?"

"All right! Let's fight it out until one of us is destroyed! I Saint Iris is not one who is afraid of a threat!" Iris had all the Archers and Spearmans attack.

1,000 Leontius's men were showered with spears and arrows. They were unprepared for the sudden attack of Regulus' forces, and even Leontios' army was trying to escape. However they were still struck by Diana's arrow. 40 Leontios' men were still alive, but they sustained some minor, moderate and heavy injuries.

"Iris!" Duke Gigas Leontios shouted while giving off the aura of a level 86 Legendary realm.

"Duke Gigas Leontios, you are Uncle Halbert Lion Heart's confidant. But when Uncle Halbert Lion Heart lost the battle you seemed to not care. You've done too much evil, and you've repeatedly tried to touch my family and Regulus!"

"Iris!"

"Altair quiet! Gigas, I've been quiet all along as if I didn't know about your crimes. I don't want the Lion Heart Empire to have another civil war, but I can't turn a blind eye to all your crimes. Return to Leontios and prepare your army, tomorrow is all-out war between Leontios and Regulus!"

"Life with Iris Regulus! Viva Saint Iris! Long live the Great Lady Regulus! Success to Regulus!" All the Regulus region troops cheered.

"You may ask the Government, the Empire, the Great Power of your allies for help. Even if you can use all the cunning methods you have, remember all the tricks will not be useful in the face of the truth."

"Iris, you'll regret it!" Duke Gigas shouted, then stepped away with the remaining 40 Leontios troops.

"Iris, are you serious about fighting Leontios' territory?" Altair asked.

"Altair, you are but a coward who does not dare to fight. You think too much about the consequences that will happen after that war." Iris says.

"Winter!!" Iris yells.

A 22-meter-long snake with white scales with blue gradations emerged from under the snow.

Everyone was shocked by Winter suddenly appearing from underground. They didn't feel Winter was hiding from the ground.

"Can you go to war with Leontios County?"

"Well, I'll go to war with Regulus' army." Winter answered.

Note: Crimson Type, Goldinia, Winter Snake Bungarus. Other types of snakes must have Cobra, Viper, Phyton, Rattlesnake etc.

"Grooooharrr!" Darkness Dragon King Ragnar and several groups of Dragons flew towards Ignis.

Everyone was shocked due to the arrival of several Dragon Beasts of different species. Especially a Black Dragon, Darkness Dragon, Red Dragon with 4 horns, Light Dragon and Red Dragon which are larger than other Dragons.

Iris calmed everyone down, she told everyone that the Dragon herd was a friend.

"Lord Hogni why are you here?" Lilian asked.

"Ragnar didn't you go to Dragon Valley with your daughter? Agni, Magna, Melys and Hogni are also here! Is this the Dragon King meeting?" Reese asked puzzledly he did not know why the Dragon Kings were gathered in one place.

"Dragon King!"

All the forces of Regulus and the Albion Empire retreated a few steps. They were trembling in fear.

"I met with Iris and it looks like my daughter made Beast Urs contract to be her partner." Ragnar answered.

"Are you going back to the South Moonlight Continent?"

"Reese, me, Iris and Magna are going to the Cerulean Forest to find Urs and visit an old friend." Ragnar answered.

Iris walked towards Freya. "Lilian, Freya, I'm going to leave all this to you. I knew this war would be very easy to win. Although Gigas had already raised 4 adult high rank Beasts and recruited several high realm criminals. But I'm sure without me you'll win."

Iris climbed Ragnar's back.

"Iris, what's going on?" Agni asked.

"Civil war will happen, but I know that Regulus's army will prevail."

"Haha. I haven't fought the humanoid race in a long time, do you need help?" Agni asked.

"Are you the Urs' couple? I'll help you in this war." Melys.

"Can you only kill those who fight and not kill innocent people?" Iris asked.

"Although it's hard we'll do it." Agni answered

"Thank you." Iris thanked him, then he, Ragnar and Magna went to the Cerulean Forest.

"Humans calm down, we're on your side and can you point out where the human territory is fighting you?" Agni asked.

"I will return to the Holy Empire to report it to my friend Aldric. Golden armored man, can you come with me?" Light Dragon King Hogni asked.

"Lord Hogni, I'll come with you."

"It's exhausting, get on my back! I want to take a nap soon."

Altair rode on the back of Light Dragon Hogni, then they flew to the Holy Empire.

...****************...

The next day a civil war broke out in the Lion Heart Empire between the Grand Duke Regulus Noble Family and the Lion Heart Noble Family.

Duke Gigas Leontios had already prepared 80,000 troops of all troops consisting of the Royal Family of Leontios, high-ranking criminals, chartered Marcenary and an army of the Silver Phoenix Empire in disguise. The family of the Nobles of Leontios has also bred many medium-ranked Beasts and 5 Legendary Beasts and 3 young high-ranked Beasts to start a coup. He had also hired 3 Mythical realm criminals, 1 Mythical realm Zephyra Empire rebel person and 3 Mythical realm realm Mythical Empire aid troops Silver Phoenix Empire.

The total strength that the Duke Gigas Leontios Family of Nobles possessed was actually 3 times stronger than the Lion Heart Imperial Family, Duke Leandro Nobles Family and Duke Aslan Nobles Family. However, Duke Gigas Leontios can keep a tight lid on information about his powers. All his wealth was used to finance this coup.

The war finally happened. In contrast to Duke Gigas Leontios who thought that he would win the war easily, because he had issued his Trump card which was to be used to coup the Lion Heart Empire.

But all of a sudden things are out of his control, 2 Red Dragons that are very strong appear in the battlefield and kill a lot of Leontios troops on the first day and the determination to fight Regulus troops is increasingly passionate.

Actually Duke Gigas Leontios was only worried that Reese was fighting, but Iris said that this war was only a war between Leontios and Regulus.

On the second day of the war, Duke Gigas Leontios became increasingly desperate and asked for help from all his allies. However they did not want to help him, even though he had already said that Iris was already using a powerful Beast to fight. However, all the Kingdoms, the Empire said that the appearance of Beasts and Beast waves were categorized into natural disasters.

On the third day many of Duke Gigas Leontios' nobility surrendered and some fled to the Albion Empire, but the Albion Empire immediately executed those who resisted and captured those who surrendered. By the third day most of Leontius' army had fallen and surrendered. Regulus' forces went to the villages and pardoned all the inhabitants of Leontios who were not part of the army.

Regulus lost 500 men and 2 executives of The North Damian and Gar Alliance were killed in the Battlefield. In war all things can happen and the death of a Knight in the battlefield is natural. Regulus sent back some of the wounded and corpses of Regulus' troops for cremation.

The fourth day Regulus' forces continued to advance to the Capital of Leontios.1 The North Mara Executive lost one of his arms and 300 Regulus troops fell in battle.

Freya stared blankly at the weeping Regulus soldier who had lost his friends, family and best friends. But war is cruel, if they lose this war. Life will be worse than death itself.

Cleon and the 12 Nobles of Regulus stared at Freya. They had already experienced many wars and attempted assassinations, they were already not afraid of death. But Freya was too young to be a commander of the army, and she would blame herself for the death of Regulus.

Felicity hugs Freya, she finds out how Freya feels in this war. A moment later Freya sobbed in Felicity's arms.

"Haha. My Miss Golden Sky apologized to Urs, I cannot train with Mr. Urs. If I had met Mr. Urs earlier maybe..." Golden Sky spewed blood.

"Quick finish your words, great Golden Roc. You broke one of my horns." The Red Dragon King Melys said.

"I'll be happy. Gigas, please forgive my best friend Gig..." Golden Sky, then closed his eyes.

They finally reached the already empty Capital of the Leontios Territory. They entered the white-colored castle of Duke Leontios' noble family and did not see a single person. They finally walked into Duke Gigas Leontios' study and were shocked to see Duke Gigas Leontios' corpse with a Legendary Long Sword Rank Artifact stuck in his neck. Duke Gigas Leontios apparently committed suicide by slitting his own throat.

"Coward! Why did you have to die?" Freya sobbed, a Knight who ran away before the war was not a Knight. Worse than dog litter and shit. Duke Gigas Leontios did all these things and he did not admit it, resulting in many innocent lives being lost. Because of his ambition and greed.

The war was finally completed on the fifth day and the victory was held by the Regulus region. Although they had only suffered a few casualties, but they did not feel the pleasure of winning in the war.

The forces of the Albion Empire, Lion Heart Empire, Avalon Empire, Adventurers Guild and Pendragon Kingdom immediately reviewed the condition of Leontios territory. Meanwhile Agni and Melys bid farewell to return to their nest.

Freya and Regulus returned to Regulus through the villages and towns of Leontios.

The inhabitants pelted Freya and Regulus' forces with stones. They were the family and friends of the soldier Leontios who died in battle.

"Give me my husband back!"

"Give me my son!"

"Valkyrie blood redhead give me back my mother!"

"Give my father back!"

All the inhabitants of Leontios insulted Freya and Regulus' forces who had killed their family and friends on the battlefield.

"Haha. I remember the past. Lazarus even got dozens of times more stone throws than this and his mouth was still smiling." Cleon laughed as he received the stone throw, saying that the stone throw would be obtained when they returned. But they should not retaliate because if they hurt or kill people who are disappointed because of the loss of their family and friends. The hatred of those people will get bigger and the desire for revenge will get stronger.

"Shut up!!!" Freya yells.

"Blame your leader Duke Gigas Leontios for making us like this!! Go to the Lion Heart Empire so that you know what kind of evil your Duke has done! We don't want this war to happen either, but if we don't kill him the casualties will continue to grow. We don't kill civilians and we only kill people who fight. We hand over those who surrendered to the Lion Heart Imperial family head to the Lion Heart Imperial Capital to search for your family there, perhaps they are still alive!" Freya yells.

Everyone was crying, they couldn't blame Regulus' forces because the mistake was in the hands of Duke Gigas Leontios.

But they need things to vent their anger, despair and sadness.

"What do you want to do! My commoner is your master Viscount Foster, you must not kill me. Nooooo!"

All the people of Leontios hunted the Nobles and the House of Nobles in hiding, then burned all the castles, buildings, inns, shops and assets belonging to the Nobles. In fact they told the hiding Nobles and Corrupt Merchant members of the ally of the Nobles of Leontios to the search team of the Lion Heart Empire.

They now blame Duke Gigas Leontios and his followers for their tragedy.

Altair needs Celine's help to interrogate and prosecute all the prisoners of war and the noble families of Duke Leontios' followers.

They were all one by one taken to an empty room with 1 questioner. While Celine and Altair heard their conversation in the other room.

The Eye Of True Celine skill should not be scattered for now. So Altair was trying to hide Celine's Skill.

Eventually some Nobles, Nobles, soldiers and merchants were forgiven for their innocence. They were only forced to obey the orders of Duke Gigas Leontios and the others were threatened.

Those found guilty in the law according to their respective crimes. Some were in prison and some were beheaded before the inhabitants of the Lion Heart Empire.

Freya and the others stared at the forgiven people. They thanked Freya and Altair for forgiving them and being able to reunite with their intact families.

"Emperor, that man is my husband's best friend! Why are you just punishing my husband!"

Where there are people who are happy there are people who are disappointed because everyone does not know the contents of the human heart. Where there are people who are grateful for receiving justice, there are people who are disappointed because they feel they do not receive justice.

Will the forgiven man be free from all his sins? They will not be free from sin by choosing the wrong Master. They lost their status, wealth and territory and started again from scratch with new territories, new Kingdoms and new people because although the Imperial law forgave them, but the social law would not forgive them.

"I as the Emperor of the Lion Heart Empire am very grateful to all of you." Altair sat on a throne with a golden crown on his head.

"Freya, what do you want?"

"Coward!" Freya said, then left the Imperial Altar along with the others.

"You!!" Duke Adrian and Duke Aslan wanted to reprimand Freya for her rudeness. Altair stopped them immediately.

Freya turned her face away. "Emperor Altair, I retract my words. As Urs said you are a good man and friend. But you are too soft-hearted as an Emperor you should have an iron fist to manage everything. If you need help, come to Regulus. You will definitely help you to fight against the Nobles of Aslan and the Nobles of Leandro." Freya smiled.

Duke Elenio Aslan and Duke Adrian Leandro trembled in fear.

"Thank you, I'll return the favor to Regulus." Altair replied with sullen eyes.

"Life Lion Heart Star! Long live Emperor Altair Leon Heart!" Freya, Cleon and the others cheered until exiting the Palace gate.

...****************...

Altair pondered in a library. Empress Florencia immediately hugged him, as did the other wife of Altair.

Altair cried, she felt despair, sadness and disappointment. But Florencia and all the wives of Altair knew that the burden in Altair's heart had been lifted.

Altair looked towards Florencia and the others..They remain with Altair when sad and happy. They are willing to be the ears of Altair, the resting place and last is the heart of Altair.7 The woman who loves the sincere Altair is not just because Altair is an Emperor or a handsome Man.

The next day Altair divorced 92 concubines and his wife. By chance Altair had not had any children of them, leaving only Empress Florencia and her 6 other wives. All the Residents and Nobles of the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart Empire were shocked to hear that.

Altair now realizes that she does not need many women, she only needs the sincerity of the woman who loves her sincerely.

...****************...

A golden-haired woman with red eyes, wearing a light blue-colored dress arrived in the Leontios region. She was Helen Giselle's Golden Phoenix Leonis a distant cousin of the Nobility of Leontios and a cousin of Lilian as well as Magnolia.

"Now my name is Duchess Helen Giselle Leonis and the region will be renamed Leonis. I've been 18 years living in Black Phoenix Castle to train and break through the Legendary realm of level 87. You guys must be confused as to why I broke through the Legendary realm of level 87 at such a young age? I was also confused at first, but when I broke through the Master realm I remembered about my life first. One of the 2 beautiful women on Planet Auriga, I've lived for 40,000 years. I died from drinking deadly poison, but God Gail told me to reincarnate."

"Duchess Leonis we've arrived." The horse-drawn carriage driver said.

"All right." Helen immediately got off the horse carriage, she saw many people kneeling towards her and a simple wooden house.

"Are you Duchess He-Helen Gi-Gisele Le-Leonis?" A burly man with a scar on his cheek said.

Helene smiled everyone was fascinated with Helene's smile. Her beauty rivaled that of Saint Iris, Theresia and Lilian, even as if there was a mysterious charm that captivated everyone's heart.

A little girl gave Helen a crown of flowers.

"Duchess, forgive us for burning the castle in disappointment with Duke Gigas Leontios."

"Sufuku. Very beautiful wooden house. Your little girl is so pretty." Helen hugged the girl.

Everyone was shocked by Helene, she was different from the other Nobles and they had never even heard of a very beautiful woman named Helen. When the beauty of Saint Iris was like a white rose, Lilian a red rose, Deviela a black rose, then the beauty of Helen was like a rainbow rose.

"Duchess Helen, although the castle is destroyed. However, we still keep the wealth of the Nobles of Leontios." That person took out 50 large crates from the storage Artifacts.

"Totally 7.3 Billion Gold Coins."

Helen nodded. "I am quite rich like this. I will use it for the development of Leonis territory and the interests of the people. Remember I was only 18 and my strength was stronger than Uncle Gigas." Helen let out her aura where elements of wind, fire, water, lightning, and earth gathered around Helen.

The man smiled, he actually wanted to kill the new Duchess. When the Duchess had a Duke Gigas-like character, but she was now convinced this Duchess was trustworthy.

"I am a former Marquis Rein, I am a Legendary realm. Duchess, I will be your sword, but I don't want title, power, territory. Think of me as your hand." Rein handed over his Long Sword to Helen.

"Knight Rein, I will accept you as my first Sword. I swear on behalf of the Goddess of Justice Artemis, I will be a fair leader!"

Thunder rumbles sounded very loud, a moment later it was raining moderately.

"Haha. Did the Gods take my oath? When I was raining, I became reminded of that man." Helen laughed, then danced among the rain. The raindrops formed the silhouette of a long-haired man.

Everyone was fascinated by Helen's dancing in the rain. Rein had only ever seen someone dance so beautifully like that, which was when Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus danced at the Great Imperial and Power Alliance Meeting.

"Darling, are you reborn?" helen imagined a man with blue hair and eyes like sapphires.

...****************...

Gerarda and Beryl were paying attention to the painting they bought at the auction for 800 Million Gold Coins. The price is very expensive for 2 paintings, but this painting is worth the price.

The painting measures 1.7 meters X 1.7 meters. Seen in the first painting was a long blue-haired man with sapphire-like blue eyes sitting smiling while painted and in the second painting was the same man hugging a beautiful woman in a dress gold without face.

"Are you thinking the same thing I thought?" Beryl asked.

"Helen this painter has only 5 works and all his paintings are a very Realistic blue-haired man. It was fortunate that I went berserk at the auction so that no one would raise any more offers. This man is similar to Lazarus, although his hair is blue and he wears 3 earrings in each ear." Gerarda says.

"How could Helen have painted this much detail, when she painted 9 years ago. In the second painting is a golden-haired woman, but it does not resemble the body of Theresia, Felicity or Lilian. His chest is a little bigger."

Gerarda nodded. "This painting is a masterpiece I want to know where the other 3 paintings are."

Reese, Lilian, Freya, Theresia, Cathrine and Diana enter Carissa Castle. They saw 3 paintings of blue-haired Lazarus.

"He added to his collection again, but the painting is very realistic as if the painter was there." Reese says.

Everyone nodded.

...****************...

"Hachuu.." Lazarus sneezing.

"Urs, are you flu?" Magnolia asked.

"It looks like there's a beautiful woman thinking about me." Lazarus answered.

"Uoo." Akira and Reina vomited not far from there.

"Haha. Why do you keep vomiting? Are you pregnant?" Yun Shan laughed.

"How can a Mythical realm like me get pregnant and I'm not married." Akira answered.

"I wish Deviela and Iris were here. Iris' healing skill was very useful in this situation "Lazarus said.

"Dad, are you worried about Mom?"

"Altair remembers that when you were angry your mother was more cruel than a Beast Mother who was guarding her baby. He once slapped my cheek so hard."

"Just a slap doesn't hurt."

"Bang!" Icarus slapped Alastair hard.

"Did it hurt?"

"No."

Lazarus poured all his strength into his palm.

"Bang!!"

Lazarus slapped a stone to smash it, then his slap created a crack in the ground.

"Iris's slap strength was 3 times stronger than this. Do you want to get slapped?"

"..."
