Transmigrated: Rise of a King

Chapter 58

Lucas quickly put on his armor and grabbed his sword as he dashed out of his room, startling the servants near his room as they looked at him in shock as he quickly went down the stairs, his armor making noise which caught the attention of his parents as they came out of a room to find him in armor.

"Son?" Leif called out in confusion alongside his wife.

"The enemy soldiers are attacking!" Lucas shouted as he dashed without stopping as his words caused the eyes of his parents to widen alongside the servants.

"What!?" All of them shouted in shock at his sudden declaration.

But Lucas didn't wait for a response as he threw open the doors of the entrance as be spotted Falkor who was currently chilling on the ground, though he did sense his Master and looked at him.

"Get ready to fly!" Lucas shouted as the Wyvern's eyes narrowed in response as it let out a light roar.

Falkor raised his wings as he raised his body up using his legs as Lucas jumped onto his back as he steadied himself as the wyvern raised himself from the group using his wings as Lucas looked at him.

"Roar Falkor!" Lucas shouted in urgency.

The wyvern obeyed immediately as it let out a roar that can be heard a long way and it scared many of the people and soldiers who heard it. But for Aslaug and Kriemhild, it was a signal as their eyes widened before they took their equipment before dashing out of the house, both in armor as they were ready.

"Lucas!" Leif shouted as he saw his son on the back of his wyvern.

"Get everyone ready!" Lucas shouted to his father as he nodded.

"I will!" Leif shouted back as he realised that his son is being very serious right now.

Lucas nodded as he then had Falkor fly towards the girls house as they flew through the air. Since the people were familiar with Falkor, they became a bit at ease at his appearance, but they were still fidgety due to the roar.

Lucas meanwhile spotted Aslaug and Kriemhild running through the streets as he landed Falkor down as they stopped in front of him.

"Get on!" Lucas shouted as they immediately obeyed.

"What's happening?" Aslaug asked as the two of them got on the wyvern.

"The soldiers of Sweden have invaded. We have to go and slow them down before the army can fully prepare. The Royal mage should already know about this." Lucas said to them as Falkor rose into the air with the three of them.

"So they really are attacking huh. But why would they do something like that after such a defeat?" Aslaug asked as she looked at him.

She could understand some of the soldiers and people being disgruntled at the loss they had suffered and would want to get revenge. But she didn't understand why the entire army would attack, wouldn't they be afraid of Lucas and Falkor, especially since they had shown the ability to kill two full blooded dragons.

"I have no idea. But we can't give them too much of an advantage." Lucas said as he steered Falkor towards the border as the wyvern let out a roar and flew in the direction.

"Oh yeah, Kriemhild, this is the sword I enchanted for you." Lucas said as he gave the sword to Kriemhild as she was surprised.

"Th-Thank you Lord Lucas. I'm truly grateful for such a gift." Kriemhild said in shock as she looked at the sword which has runes etched onto it.

"If you wish to thank me then use that sword and fight to the best of your ability and survive." Lucas said to her as he looked at him.

"Of course my lord. I will not disappoint you." Kriemhild said to him as she felt motivated at his words.

"Already giving her an enchanted sword. I don't know whether you are too trusting or not." Aslaug said to him as she looked at him.

"I just wanted her to have a better chance at survival. Besides, she is my subordinate, and I will not let my subordinate fight without good equipment if I can help it." Lucas said to her as he was resolute in his words.

Kriemhild's eyes widened when she heard that as she felt great admiration for her Lord due to how resolute he looked in front of her. He was also willing to give her a sword that is inscribed using runes, which was quite valuable and not easily available to others.

'I cannot let the trust that Lord Lucas has placed in me go to waste.' Kriemhild thought to herself as she strapped the sword to her hip and made sure that it was secure.

Aslaug meanwhile kept a watch forward as he was also ready to call upon her sword when the time for battle comes, but she is holding off on it until they are actually in front of the enemy soldiers.

Falkor was flying very quickly through the air as his wings sliced through the winds as he flew with the three people on his back as he was ready for battle as well. His eyes narrowed as he spotted soldiers in the distance as he let out a growl which garnered the attention of the three on his back.

"Looks like he has seen the enemy. Be ready to fight." Lucas said to them seriously as they nodded.

'Tch. Damn mortals. I haven't even been able to get another battle with him and they are already coming for another defeat.' Aslaug thought to herself as she was feeling quite displeased due to the situation.

But she decided to focus on the battle in front of her first before doing anything else as she would have the chance to battle and defeat Lucas after this and she will show him what the difference between the two of them are.

"Now! Fire!" Lucas shouted as Falkor roared as they neared the soldiers.

The soldiers themselves shot arrows at them but Falkor spewed fire out of his mouth to take care of it as he flew near them and then shot fire at the enemy soldiers. The mages however created a barrier to protect themselves from the fire as the wyvern made a noise of displeasure.

Lucas gave the signal with his hands as Falkor flew high as he dodged the magical attacks from the other mages and the arrows as he roared as Aslaug looked at the army in displeasure.

"To think that so many would come here. I don't have the time nor patience to play with you mortals!" Aslaug shouted as she jumped from the wyvern's back.

"My lady!" Kriemhild shouted in shock as the demigoddess jumped down as Lucas smirked at her actions.

"She will cause some chaos and discord. Kriemhild, stay on his back and keep your hold firm. Falkor will do the rest." Lucas said as he got ready to jump as well.

"L-Lord Lucas, what are you going to do?" Kriemhild asked him in surprise.

"I am going to join her of course. Do you wish to join us?" Lucas asked her as he got ready to jump.

"B-But I am not confident that I will be able to jump from such a height." Kriemhild said to him as she glanced back down and back at him.

"I see. Falkor, keep to the skies and use your fire to attack. Do not get near them." Lucas ordered the wyvern as it let out a growl of agreement.

"L-Lord Lucas!" Kriemhild cried out as she was picked up by Lucas in a princess carry.

He then jumped down without much ceremony as the two fell into a portal as it closed while the magical attacks and arrows flew without purchase.

This confused the army before the two emerged from another portal a few feet above them as Kriemhild shouted in fear while Lucas laughed in jubilation as he let go of her.

Lighting covered his left arm as he shot them and attacked several mages as they cried out in pain from the attack while also clearing a short space for them to land as the two drew their blades and looked at the enemy.

"Let the slaughter begin." Lucas said with a grin on his face.
