Prisoner of War

Kingdom of Haven.
The central powerhouse of the continent, wide and fertile territories, along with mineral rich mountains.
For these reasons, many users chose this kingdom when they first started out playing Royal Road.
“A lot of mountains, meaning a lot of dungeons, lairs, and dangerous hunting grounds exist here.”
Here, it’s primarily filled with adventurous classes or Bard.
“The trading posts here are great too. It has convenient access to all other kingdoms, and…with the amount of adventurer types, there’s no end to the spoils.”
Merchants also chose the Kingdom of Haven.
Warriors, Priests, and even those that wanted to hunt, also decided on the kingdom.
Thanks to this, the kingdom flourished commercially along with explosive military might.
A person unrelated to the kingdom will probably see this as a crowed town.
Whether it was Illuin, Khiden, or Balkiseu castles, even as soon as dawn the streets were bustling with crowds.
But the too many people, Mulline, has endless amount of disputes.
Whether they were at dungeon, lair, mountain, or in the plains, endless amount of battles took place among guilds.
“The first to strike will not be eaten.”
“War! We should get together for war!”
It was filled with counsel and tactical meetings.
Guild alliances and unions often met with repeated disbandment and betrayal.
In the Kingdom of Haven, there exists several thousands of guilds ready to go to war.
Along with mercenaries obtained from other countries, increasingly larger wars were fought.
The powerhouse Bar-Ray leads the Hermes Guild to occupied the Noreunjawi castles led by Bar Ray with the intention to reign over the entire kingdom.
Blood Knights, lone Mercenaries, red Mages units set their flag where the oppositions of Hermes had fallen.
***
Kallamore Kingdom.
Once, the kingdom had a vast territory.
But in the royal palace’s weakened state due to the members of the imperial court scrambling up the nation’s power; in its opening, the capital got burned down as they suffered a downfall from the aggression of the neighboring countries.
Nevertheless, they tried to resurrect the empire by once again lifting their flag.
They deployed the strongest knight of the royal family, one that was venerated and revered by other countries as the strongest traditional military power of the central continent.
And since it was exclusive to the nobles and its inhabitants, as travelers deemed it an inconvenience; not many users chose to start from Kallamore Kingdom.
Similar to other countries, they have a huge population with developed mining, technology, and commerce; but unlike the others, guild wars did not occur frequently.
This was due to the fact that they were surrounded by the Senbain mountains; so every week, a huge wave of monsters poured down and spread throughout the kingdom.
Looting and destruction.
If the frontline fell, the village and its inhabitants were fated for complete disappearance.
Because of this, the user base rather dislikes the Kallamore Kingdom.
- It’s too hard, and you can lose everything in an instant in the kingdom.
- I don’t recommend it. Unless you’re the type that wants to die.
- Don’t go, the protection at Sebain is no good.
Travelers turned their sight away from getting anywhere closer within the range of Kallamore Kingdom due to the outbreak of monsters.
In the kingdom, though reluctantly, thanks to the subjugations of the monsters, its military steadily grew; it was a gritty place for adventurers.
However, there are a variety of people in the world.
Some accepted the commissioned quest of their Knights from Senbain to find the reason for source of the monster infestation in Kallamore Kingdom.
Those that were insane enough and wanted a new experience without fearing of losing their lives did so for the enjoyment.
And so together with the kingdom’s troops, they fought against the downpour of monsters from the mountain.
And gained fame!
As Senbain’s defender, You have earned 3 Honor points.
The Honor points that were exclusive to Knights could be obtained.
If you have enough Honor points, your subordinates will always be loyal, and everywhere you go, you will always be regarded as nobles to some extent.
Sometimes, gifts can be received from nobles or those of the imperial courts, and popularity with the ladies will increase.
Honor points were essential for those that wanted to join the order of the Knights or to become higher ranked officers.
Those that performed this quest spread the news of this fact widely.
Frankly, there were desires to hold this info to themselves.
But in fear of the danger fighting in Senbain, they needed more.
“We can get the valuable Honor points?”
“The hard to obtain Honor points that could only gained through dueling victories or special achievements…”
The combatants rushed to Senbain. And all fought there.
Many died intercepting the hordes of monsters, but the pleasure of successfully blocking them was something beyond belief.
Volunteers were also dispatched around the Senbain castles.
With the rise in Fame and Honor, some could be assigned to lead troops of the new volunteers.
While extra contribution to the kingdom will rise, it was possible to obtain more combat experience every time.
The requests were awfully dangerous and although there were a lot of failures, everybody found themselves immersed in defending.
Infantries, Warriors, Archers, Knights, and so on so forth. The tens of thousands became members of the kingdom’s troop and gathered to fight fierce battles against the monsters.
All for the thrilling joy of being within the Kallamore Kingdom’s war.
“War? So what about the guilds, how do they fight for territories?”
“Just go up the Senbain mountains, you can find a wealth of monster’s villages to occupy…”
Even so, when the hunting started here and there, the fixed number of the downpour of the hordes of monsters didn’t decrease.
Dungeons and lairs weren’t around, but across the vast mountainous range, monsters continued to descend.
Even in exhaustion, there was no other choice but to fight until death.
It was the highest honor in Kallamore Kingdom to defend Senbain!
Having played their roles in preserving peace of a kingdom and actively gaining prizes, many guilds’ influence was wide spread; but conversely, in Senbain mountains, numerous guilds united under one flag.
Rather than warmongers, they were disciplined soldiers.
Particularly in Kallamore Kingdom, Knights were engaged in remarkable activities.
They worshipped the traditional belief held by the original knighthood, and as the nation’s Knights, they’ve given their generous support.
In the vicinities of Senbain, there were a variety of terrains.
The valley in between the mountains was a huge plain. This plain acted a substantial final line of defense.
Here, monsters have to be stopped or else the granary zone and the villages will have to pay the price.
Horseback riding Knights fearlessly charges in!
All having blessed by the Clerics, they were an armor wearing monsters slaughtering wave.
The assault of more than 3000 Knights of the country!
Through the thick fog, the knights sped toward the hungry swarm of monsters on their steed.
For the people participating, there was no other time more exhilarating than this.
“I can’t describe it. It’s just awesome. The feel of breaking through the line of monsters on horseback, it’s really, really thrilling.”
“I have no fear. But my hands are shaking.”
“As a knight, if you’ve never fought till death against these waves of monsters, then it’s just too sad.”
The Kallamore Kingdom’s pubs were always crowded with Knights.
It was a place to boast about having fought with no regret and to unfold their tensions, or where they could get a drink before going off to the next defending battle.
The pubs had become the most attended spots for those that defended Senbain to release their experiences.
On the other hand, those of the other kingdoms could not understand those from the Kallamore Kingdom.
Travelers asked.
“But still, aren’t you scared of getting killed?”
“If I die, the penalty’s pretty hefty aint it. The knight armors and weapons are so pricy…and I might even lose my horse too.”
“Your level and skill proficiency will drop too.”
“You’re right. But Honor is more important. If I can get more, I can get a better mount, and even troops will be assigned to me.”
In front of the combatants, they could only see death and rains of blood.
The hooves beating on land, the thickening fog, the scattering blood.
Along with the breakthrough, blockage, and up to collapsing on horsebacks, everything came along with the excitement of piercing through the monsters corp.
The combatants of the Kallamore Kingdom traveled about while carrying their growth.
And surely, the time will come where they will show the skill they’ve obtained during their time in Senbain.
The chivalry of those that survives in the Kallamore Kingdom!
***
Kallamore Kingdom’s royal court.
Before the king and the imperial court official, the Knight Koldeurim appeared after 30 long years of absence.
“You, how…”
Choking on his own words, the King’s eyes moistened.
From the Kallamore, Haven, Toreupan, Masen, Thor, Aidel, the scene unfolded for all the users to see.
In the middle of all their activities, their sights were suddenly filled with the scenes unfolding at Kallamore’s royal court.
“What?”
“What’s going on?”
“What kind of Event is this?”
The users from all over the place wondered about the event that was taking place in Kallamore’s royal court.
“I’m truly sorry, my King. I have returned.”
“What happened? How have you come back 30 years later?”
“I fell into the deceitful hands of the Kingdom of Haven…if it hadn’t been for some great adventurers, I would have never been able to return to fight for my King and my Country.”
“So the fault lies in the Kingdom of Haven as well. Is this the day I’ve been waiting for? Come
