Today in Heilong Kingdom everybody was extremely busy. Earlier in the day an announcement was made that threw everyone into a frenzy.

The king proclaimed that in six months the kingdom will host a tournament. All of the kingdoms and forces in the alliance against the Siwang empire were invited.

This would be a way for the forces to mingle amongst each other and get closer.

Anyone was eligible to enter and the winner would receive a very lavish reward.

Once the news was announced the king declared that the construction of a grand arena would commence.

Many young men eagerly wished to join the tournament. And many more were eager to make some money signed up to join the workforce building the grand arena.

The grand arena would be huge and large enough to hold hundreds of thousands of people. This was a show of power for the Heilong kingdom to the other kingdoms.

By erecting a massive arena such as this they would be able to show their authority over the people and the wealth the kingdom possessed. This was to regain the loss of authority after the Siwang empire invaded.

The Heilong kingdom was one of the kingdoms that sustained the heaviest losses from the invasion and in the eyes of the other forces it was one of the weakest.

The sound of hooves echoed through the night as this army advanced into the darkness or night.
