Chapter 87 - History Of Hazelgroove Kingdom
Hazelgroove kingdom was once Hazelgroove Empire , ruling supreme in the continent , it was one of the major powers to be reckoned with.
The Empire was established by the first emperor , the then Grand Duke Kartik Patel. He was a duke of the Hazelgroove kingdom , who lead a faction of nobles through a difficult war to sieze the throne of Hazelgroove.
His biggest supporter back then was the man Augustus Won Knight , his commander in cheif who lead his forces to glory . The explosion artist who painted the battlefield red with his bombs.
After the war , he was given the then vacant positon of duke of Hazelgroove for his contributions.
Sent on battlefield after battlefield by the King , he conquered land after land expanding the kingdom?, gaining more and more merits and reputation.
About 5 years after usurping the throne , the first major conflict fell on the reign of king Kartik Patel.
The then kingdom of orcs , marched towards Hazelgroove with a massive army of 4 million orcs strong.
The orc army had been on a rampage , destroying two kingdoms before their path of destruction went towards Hazelgroove.
It was a massive issue and a big threat to the reign of the then king.
Augustus analysed the situation and went into seclusion in this time , trying to come up with the ultimate bomb to counter the situation .
After a long time in seclusion , just when many outskirt towns had been lost to the orc invasion , Augustus came up with the ultimate destructive bomb , the Brahmastra using which he levelled about half of the 4 million strong orc army.
The single bomb dropped completely changed the dynamics of the war , and was flagged as the biggest threat to humanity and Hazelgroove's top weapon.
The tides of war changed and Hazelgroove overcame the orc invasion , Kartik Patel coming on top.
What followed was that many smaller kingdoms willingly submitted to the superior millitary might of Hazelgroove kingdom as it gained territory after territory , vassals after vassals , growing large enough to become an empire !
And hence came the first emperor of Hazelgroove , and his legend was noted in history books. Also this was why the Won Knights were soo revered in Hazelgroove , just like the Royal faction , the Won Knights held a strong political influence amongst the nobles of the kingdom.
It is only because of this special status and their unquestionable loyalty to the Ruling faction , that the Won Knights were allowed a massive personal force of 100 thousand soldiers.
With time many incompetent rulers had taken up the throne of Hazelgroove and with the knowledge of the Brahmasutra becoming a lost art. The empire began loosing its influence over its vassals.
One after another many territories declared independence as Hazelgroove Empire once again be ame Hazelgroove kingdom . However through all that , never did the position of the Won Knights change.

( Modern day , at the Won Knights Mansion )
Rudra had came to the mansion only for the second time.?However he was genuinely mesmerized by the luxurious mansion , he felt like no matter how many times he would visit , it would always shock him .
" Ohhhh , to what do i owe the unexpected visit". Patricia said looking at Rudra gawking at the Mansions interior
" Just some buisness talks " Rudra said , smiling at her NPC adopted sister.
Patricia smiled , she liked this no nonsense talks character of Rudra . He did not use flattery or pleasentries to put his thoughts forward , he was straightforward in his approach?and she appreciated that .
" What do you need ? " She asked
" 50,000 troops " Rudra said shamelessly
Patricia frowned , why did he need soo many troops all off a sudden
She asked cautiously " why? ".
Rudra started explaining the guilds current position to Patricia , about how they were being supressed by the alliance and that , 10,000 adventurers had spawn camped the latest dungeon and that to deal with those pests , he needed the army .
Patricia was baffled , unable to process the information for a while , she just stared at Rudra
" You need the army for what? ". She asked again
Rudra sighed , he explained it all again , as slowly as possible
Patricia said " i get the whole thing , however why do you want 50,000 tier 2?troops to deal with 10,000 tier 0 ones , thats just massacare ".
Clearly she did not approve of such ruthless bullying , however this was more about making a statement for Rudra , he needed to show the alliance members that two could play the bullying game they were playing and that he could play it wayy better than they could.
" Exactly why ". Rudra grinned evily.
Chatting for a while , Rudra consulted Patricia for advice over formations and best attack plans , before using his identity as a Won Knight to gather 50 thousand tier 2 NPC soldiers.
With an hour left on his given deadline to remove the spawn camp , Rudra started to mobilize the army , should they not remove it , tommorow was going to be a massacre.
The sight of 50,000 troops on horses , was something to behold , as Rudra marched at the forefront on his Direwolf , now equipped with a True Elite robe and the mask , disguising himself as Augustus Won Knight , he wanted to create a fake image that there was an absolute unoffendable party present within the Elites ranks.
Possibly even more confusion over his identity , as he wanted to mix reality and deception about his dual identity soo close that noone would be able to tell apart the real from the deceit.
