Chapter 173: Confrontation 2 Chapter 173: Confrontation 2 “You dare—?” “Oh, I dare,” king Seungho cut him off, his lips curling in a smirk.

“You honestly expect us to believe that your people are more skilled than mine after that race?

Please.” King Altan’s hands clenched into fists.

His fury was barely contained.

“Oh?

So you want to see the true might of my kingdom, is that it?” His voice dropped, laced with unspoken threats.

“It seems you’ve forgotten how we dealt with your people during the war years ago.

Even my ancestors knew that you were weak.” King Seungho “…” Others “…” Silence fell.

A thick, suffocating silence.

Then “Enough.” King Ikechukwu’s voice rang out, sharp and commanding.

It wasn’t loud, but the weight of it cut through the rising storm like a blade.

Everyone turned toward him.

His expression was unreadable, but the warning in his gaze was clear.

“You all are here to compete, not start another war,” he said coldly.

“Unless you would rather settle this off the battlefield?” But the king Seungho didn’t want to let this chance go given his cunny nature.

He smirked, clearly enjoying how his words had struck a nerve.

Even though his Kingdom was just insulted, he calmed down in a few minutes.

The insult meant that his taunts were working.

He leaned back in his seat, his confidence radiating as he continued, “All your kingdom does is breed horses and ride them.

Tell me, how will that help you on the battlefield?” His voice carried over the gathered nobles, loud and taunting.

“My kingdom produces the finest archers in the four major kingdoms, the best.
