In fact, the Royal Family was still waiting and preparing for the war. According to his estimate, the invasion should\'ve begun after a year at the earliest and maybe even two years later.

Due to the conflict in the city of Ember which was the weapon\'s hub for the Royal Family, and the recent chaos of the Royal City, it didn\'t make sense for them to reach out their hands so early.

"When did this happen?" he asked, wondering if it was after his recent actions in the Royal City. Was the emperor really so furious that he started the invasion early?

He had no way to find out since he directly came here after escaping from the Royal City.

"It has been over a week," Gabriel answered. "I don\'t think they are part of the Royal Army though. Although they are strong, they felt different from the Royal Army of Elzeira."

"How different?" Karyk asked.

"Firstly, their attire. It wasn\'t as refined as the attire of the Royal Army," Gabriel answered. He had lived with the Royal Family when they were training him to kill Karyk. There, he had come in contact with the Royal Family and learned more about them.

He knew the way Royal Knights spoke. He also knew what kind of attire they wore and so on.

"Although the Elzeirans that came out from the Central World Portal are different from Royal Knights, they are very strong. They also have that annoying immortality of the Royal Family."

"I was able to defeat a few of them, but I couldn\'t kill any. To protect Zena and the others, I could only abandon the Central World with them."

Gabriel described as best as he could. He even told Karyk that if he didn\'t have to take care of Zena and the others, he might have tried to enter the portal to find out more about them.

"As strong as the Royal Knights, but different..." Karyk muttered, lost in thoughts. He wondered who they could be.

"Do you have any more information about them?" he asked. "I told you all I knew," Gabriel responded. However after a few seconds, he thought of something and further commented, "I do remember one more thing." "What thing?"

"I did hear them mention some Sea King a few times. It seems that they were under that guy," Gabriel answered, remembering a few instances where he heard that name. "Sea King?" Karyk frowned. "I see. So it were the Pirates that serve the Pirate King. Only those people call their master the King of Seas."

Karyk remembered coming across some of the pirates when he saved what he thought to be a merchant ship. That was also what led him to enter the Border City, soon becoming the City Lord of the small yet significant city.

As he thought about the border city, he couldn\'t help but think about the citizens, wondering how they were doing.

He had sent them with the Puppet Master and now he had a bad relationship with the Celestial Empress. He really hoped that the woman didn\'t let out his anger on the citizens.

He hoped that she wasn\'t foolish enough to weaken his forces as they both had the same goal at the end of the day.

"Pirate King? I didn\'t hear about him when I was in Elzeira," Gabriel said with a puzzled expression. He thought the Royal Family was in true control of the entire world. Was that not the case? He wondered.

It made sense to him that the Royal Family didn\'t tell him about this. He was there only for training. He wasn\'t a true guest to them. They just wanted to use him and didn\'t bother to tell him more than that.

"It looks like the Pirate King accidentally found the portal and sent some people to check things out. I doubt even the Emperor knows about it yet." Karyk thought out loud. "No wonder I didn\'t hear anything about it. The Pirates kept it hidden too well."

"Is the Pirate King strong?" Gabriel asked. He had faced the underlings of that guy. He could certainly defeat them easily. The only problem was killing them. He wondered if the Pirate King was on the same level.

"I haven\'t seen him yet. But I believe he should be as strong as a Shadow Guard of the Emperor," Karyk answered.

"Shadow Guard?" Gabriel asked, confused. This was another thing he heard for the first time.

"Oh, you don\'t know about them either. I thought you would."

"Are you flexing your knowledge now?" Gabriel frowned in response. "Unlike you, I wasn\'t there for half a year."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Karyk didn\'t argue with Gabriel. He simply explained the power structure in Elzeira. He explained the strength of the Shadow Guards that were much stronger than the Generals.

As he had seen their strength through his Undeads when he was leaving the Royal City, he understood that their reputation wasn\'t for nothing.

Those Shadow Guards were in an entirely different league than the Generals. It wasn\'t surprising that the Pirate King was able to rule over the sea if he had that kind of strength.

"I have a lot more information that might help us in the war. As I don\'t want to repeat the same information again and again, I\'ll tell everyone at the same time," Karyk stated as he wondered where the Lord of Upper Realm Aliac could be.

"Do you know where Aliac is?" he asked Gabriel.

"The last time I heard from him was when he was going to earth," Gabriel replied. "He should still be there if I\'m not wrong. Instead of waiting for his return, we can head there and save some time."

"Is Earth safe for us to take Zena and the others?" Karyk asked.

"It should be. I heard that there are no portals connecting to Elzeira on earth yet," Gabriel explained. "Then again, that doesn\'t confirm anything. This place also didn\'t have any portals until a short time  ago."

"If there was, I wouldn\'t have arrived here with them," he added, glancing at his sister and friends who were sitting around the Campfire.
