The battle ahead of them is getting tougher and tougher with each passing minute even the war mechs are having a hard time holding the gates even with the marines help. Kent kissed their hands one more time he stood quickly up from his chair leaving them in the care of his sister.
"Lily stay with them and do what you can to help. I am ending this right now."
"Roger that... And Kent please be careful and don't do something you'll regret."
"I... Doubt..." Kent replied silently.
He walked out the city hall to hear the loud claps of thunder outside the city gate Kent looked over the vast horizon when he saw a massive metal ball was hurdling towards the city hall. His rage got the better of him as he took out the TrailBlazer with one powerful swing the metal ball was sliced into pieces.
Using his jets he rushed to the western gate to see the New kingdom used crude forms of firearms seen in the early age of human society and armor fairly similar to the first generation.
He landed on top of what was left of the city walls the marines and adventurers of the city held back the tide of soldiers. Many of them took cover behind the parapets as bullets went flying through the air as some of them bounced off Kent's skin it deeply annoyed him.
"How the hell did these new kingdom scum get flintlock rifles and kevlar?" One of the marines shouted while shooting back.
"Something does not add up... All marines and knights this is a primary order... Kill every last one of them don't let them breach the city no matter what... All restrictions are now removed do not show a single shred of mercy!" Kent ordered as he pulled sheeted his blades.
He pulled out the twin pistols from his side skirt plates and combined them into a massive 6-shot hand cannon. Kent jumped over the wall as he flew into battle with each blast from his hand cannon stunned the soldiers below before they could fire back.
The Knight lord aimed his cannon towards the enemy artillery but before he could destroy the enemy artillery a sword was hurdling towards him at an alarming rate. His body automatically turned off the Jets causing him to fall to the ground dodging the blade that was inches away from cutting his arm off.
As he landed with a glance around him stood tens of hundreds of soldiers with rifle and blade aimed at him ready to fight at a moment's notice. Kent interlocked the Excaliburst blades igniting their energy coils as he asked the soldiers to surrender as blood had been spilled on this earth for long enough.
His warnings fell upon deaf ears as a group of soldiers fired upon him like before his reinforced skin forced the bullets to bounce off his skin as if it was made of rubber.
"So be it..."
"You were always the type of guy to talk and talk and don't do shit Kent..." An Annoyingly familiar voice shouted.
Kent looked behind him to see a boy with long Black spiky hair, silver eyes, with pale skin, he wore a black shirt, black pants, and leather boots. He also had two pairs of chains hanging from his belt and a pair broadswords one made of pure mana steel and the other was made of the horn of the dark fell dragon Niadra.
"Rio..." Kent grunted.
"Kent, I should have known those bitches would call you back here... Those bitches really do have a thing for you..." Rio cussed as he slowly pulled out his blades.
"You dare to slander their names... They considered you as a friend, you fought and grew up together even way before I was called here... And now because of you're negligent choices they now lay dying because of you!" Kent shouted furiously
"Really now... You a monster from the stars teaching me morals and honor... You are the one who ruined my plans of ruling this world... If those two ignorant whores listened to me and placed the collar of obedience on you then things would have never been this way... Basically ITS ALL YOUR FAULT... IF YOU NEVER ARRIVED I WOULD HAVE BEEN THE HERO, I WOULD HAVE SAVED THE WORLD AND RULED IT AS WELL, I WOULD HAVE EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED UNTIL YOU CAME ALONG AND RUINED IT!"
"So you have made your choice... Then so be it..."
Kent disappeared with blades ignite he tried to decapitate Rio as he easily dodged the strike Rio drew his blades with a powerful thrust he tried to strike him in the chest. Using one of the excaliburst blades he pulled the trigger igniting a small booster on the top of the blunt side of the blade increasing his sword swing and changing the angle of his body dodging the thrust at the same time delivering a powerful upward swing.
Rio managed to parry the strike and charged at him with both blades in hand Kent managed to block his attacks with one of the blades and the other he tried to strike him in the stomach.
Their battle ignited the sword waves unleashed from their swings were enough to blow the people around them away. With each strike, the ground began to shake around them. Kent used his bound strength against his opponent while Rio used his magics against the knight of the stars.
The duel could be seen for 3 miles around them as if it was the duel between the demon king and the hero yet again. But this time who was the demon and who was the hero in question whilst their battle raged on a storm was brewing around them.
Though he managed to land a blow at the swordsman the strike merely grazed him Rio pulled out two daggers and threw it towards him. Kent jumped back a bit and struck the swordsman twice and plunged his blade on his arm.
He leaned to his right dodging the strike but the blades energy flow managed to graze Rio for a single bit. He summoned two knives from thin air and threw it with all his fury towards the knight one of the knives was cut in half easily.
The other lodged itself on his arm plate Rio smiled as he pulled back his arm forcing Kent to be pulled towards the swordsman. He delivered a devastating swing to Kent's chest it merely wounded the first layer of his chest plate ripping open his chest.
Kent fell hard on the ground since Rio's blades were made of magic-infused with life energy the Xerrohmite plating provided little to no protection against such a powerful weapon.
Rio laughed at the knight who fell before his blades as he mocked the so-called skill and discipline that Kent was trained since birth proved nothing to him as he stood on top.

"You see Kent, it doesn't matter whether who is stronger or not... A summoned dog will always be a dog... And they deserve nothing than the dirt beneath my boot heel now to finish the rest of these pestilent dogs and finally make those two my slaves..."Rio boasted heavily.
Rio walked away and openly ordered the soldiers of the New Kingdom to open fire at the city as the knights of the sky raiders held the line for as long as they could. The endless hoards of soldiers forced them to break their formation moving into the western gates.
With the battle slowly coming to its end the rain started to pour over the battlefield the roaring of gunshots and the clashing of swords against shields echoes throughout the battlefield.
The knight slowly awakened from his fall he felt his chest to see the strike did break his armor but his chest remained intact. He remembered that the shirt he wore was woven from silver steel infused with over 12 forms of physical enhancement and magical defense magics it also retains a large amount of spirit arts protection seals woven into the fabric.
"Thank you my Ladies for protecting this fool... I will not make the same mistake twice..." Kent thought as he stood up.
Thunder and lightning roared high above the clouds as he interlocked the Excaliburst and drew the Trailblazer in hand he raised both blades up to the air as he shouted.
"HERE ME MY EXECUTIONERS ANSWER THE CALL OF YOUR MASTER STAND WITH ME AND FIGHT FOR THOSE WHO NEED YOUR POWER... LET YOUR HUNGER BE FILLED BY MY ENEMIES!" Kent shouted to the clouds.
A moment of silence took the skies as violent roars of monsters could be heard above the clouds as massive whale-like creatures began to appear from the sky.
Several minutes ago high above Ren'veil's orbit, the Night Dreamer dark clouds began to form over the battlefield limiting the field of vision of the Zerrohnian navy.
"Can you get us any visual on the ground Rilet?" Kallen asked.
"We are trying Ma'am there is a lot of electrical interference on the skies around the battlefield we are trying to get one of the marines to get us a visual but the interference is off the charts." Rilet reported as his instruments were going off.
"Damn it... If we only have any instruments that can help us see on the ground... If only the Storm Raider was here then we wouldn't have this problem... Damn it ALL!!" Kallen shouted.
She took out her frustration on her command chair when the hyperjump sensors alarmed violently.
"Ma'am we are detecting class 6 hyperjump signatures 5000 meters off our stern!" The radar officer reported.
"Class six, there is no way the heavy carriers can get here because of the singularity pins that we passed nearly sucked us out of Hyperspace... Kolson how many are we talking about?"Kallen asked.
"3... No 6... Wait they are increasing ma'am... It's an entire armada!" Kolson shouted.
"WHAT! We don't have any means to defend the entire planet against an armada... Have you identified if they are friendly or no or who the fuck they are?"
"Yes, ma'am ID signature matches... Lord Anthony's... Wait the ID signature is Call sign... Executioner... Ma'am the High Glaives there here!" Kolson shouted.
Kallen looked outside the window of the ship to see over tens upon hundreds of massive monstrous whales surrounding Ren'veil.
The High Glaives are well known to the Zerrohnians as the Executioners of Kent Redridge they are powerful, constantly adapting, evolving, learning, and limitless growth potential making them a powerful opponent to be reckoned with.
They had come to answer the call of their master and when they fight they shall fight not for glory but for the will of their progenitor. The Night Dreamer dared not to open fire against these massive leviathans one of these hulking beasts alone can devour an entire fleet without any effort.
Many speculate their origins some say they were birthed from the dark zone within New Dawn in order to compensate for the lack of numbers of the 15th Legion after the 2nd war. Others claim that they were former knights of the other legions who turned traitor were cursed by Faith herself to become the enslaved puppets of the Eternal knight.
Though one thing was true their origin is well known only to a few Zerrohnians and the circle of nobility as they are the sons and daughters of Kent Redridge.
They were born about 11 years ago when Kent was in training against several dozen champion class Iron wolves during the time he met Captain Khorn at the time he was the Blood Fang's War Chief. During the trial of strength one of the champions accidentally cleaved Kent's left arm clean off with a plasma ax.
Though his blood contained high-speed regenerative properties he could have just grabbed it and reattached the arm on his own. But the monsters that hide within his blood foretold otherwise after the trial of strength one of the knights picked up the severed left arm to return it to their lord when it started to rapidly evolve.
The first of the High Glaives was born a rank 95 ant queen-like creature with black layered chiton hide, a pair of dragon-like arms, and another with mantis-like arm blades, eight legs, and ant-like facial features. Thus the creature was named Hive queen by the knights it immediately rampaged on the training grounds of the trial as it imprinted the memories of her master during the trial of strength.
As the Hive queen's primary directive at the time was to rescue its progenitor it grabbed Kent and immediately tunneled through the ground escaping the sight of the Iron-wolves. Though the Queen managed to destroy over 15 dread knights, 20 Valkryjha mechanized fighters, injured over 500 knights and nearly killed 912 veteran marines.
Though there were no injuries that day the Hive queen clearly presented a threat to New Dawn's security as it easily defeated 500 knights and injured over 20 champion class Iron-wolves including Khorn, Fenris, and Fenrir.
They searched throughout New Dawn's many rings and even into the Dark Zone which is forbidden to enter by anyone even Venerate class knights.
They found the Hive queen and Kent talking though they were surrounded over 50,000 humanoid-like warriors armed to the teeth with biological weapons and guns similar to those of the knights.
The queen managed to produce over 50,000 children in a manner of days their food source was not an issue as the dark zone consistently produces a large number of rank 92 high beasts and 1 high beast was enough to feed an entire planet's population for 3 years.
The Iron-wolves and Crusaegrum templars launched a daring rescue mission into the Hive queen's nest to find they were already surrounded by massive centurion like creatures code-named Torasque. These massive 15-foot tall creatures have 4 mammoth-like legs, two pairs of arms that can change into massive scythes, and possess massive reinforced body's making them a powerful tank that can soak up damage before dying.
They serve as the external guard of the hive and as massive siege walkers, they also serve the hive in gathering food, reforging or expanding the hive, guarding the egg nest, and training lesser hive forms in the art of combat and tactics.
When Kent told the queen that the Dragon-wolf is Family she immediately ordered her warriors to stop. Though they listen well and carefully to their progenitor they often at times cannot contain their blood lust when it comes to protecting their progenitor and following orders from others who they deem not worth listening too.
With the presence of over 50 class 6 high glaive warpath leviathans while 7 other Leviathans were bigger than the rest. As classified by the Zerrohnian Navy the 7 other warpath leviathans are the Apex of their kind.
Out of all the 5 million high glaives, only 7 aside from the brood queen stands out from the rest ranked 99 out of all their kin they are the Clan Masters. As the high glaives grew in number the Brood queen decided to learn from the lessons taught to her by the Redridge royal family.
She created 7 children who can have limitless growth in their abilities, their intellect, strength, speed, skill, and much more making them terrifying opponents to fight.
Despite having the power and abilities beyond the normal imagination they are humbled by such a responsibility and live their lives as their Queen and Progenitor had proclaimed for their people.
These High Glaives posing a grave threat to the Zerrohnian Kingdom their queen had proclaimed that they are an ally to the kingdom.
They are his will, they are his strength, they are the shield that shall protect, and the fangs that will rend and tear. They know no fear, they know no pain, they are many, they are united, they hunger for battle, and they come to answer the call of summons.
Let none find them wanting...
