Editing Flos Reimarch (section)

===Volume 4===
A month later, despite declaring war, Flos has not ordered his forces to move, aside from ordering Takhatres and his tribe to besiege the Empire of Sands. While Orthenon prepares the nation for conflict, Flos has taken the Atwood twins as his personal servants (though they don't actually perform the duties of [Servants]), having his vassals teach them about the world while insisting that they dispense with formalities and call him by name. He summons them to his personal chamber, where they are horrified to see that he kept Drevish's head, wanting it as a reminder. Teres insists to Flos that he needs to bury Drevish. The [King] is enraged by what he perceives as her presumptuousness and orders them out, but taken off-guard by Trey's insult, he admits that she is right and agrees to bury Drevish, while also confessing that he has become afraid of war after all these years. <ref>[[Chapter 4.00 K]]</ref> However, he reaffirms his desire to live up to his  subjects' expectations after going undercover in the castle and asking them how they felt about their [King's] return.

Later, Flos spars with Trey, accidentally knocking him out. That night, Flos sneaks out with the Atwood twins, and heads to one of the nearby villages to announce his return. While the villagers are overjoyed to see him, their [Lord] and Flos's former vassal, [[Venith Crusland]] is less than pleased.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/09/4-01-k/ Chapter 4.01 K]</ref> Venith's son [[Calac Crusland|Calac]] tries to kill Flos but is easily defeated. Venith and Flos then duel, but is interrupted by his wife, [[Maresar Crusland]]. Flos offers Venith mercy but is refuted, though Maresar joins the [King].<ref>[[Chapter 4.02 K]]</ref>

A few days later, while having breakfast, Trey and Teres talks with Flos about their world. He is intrigued about some of Earth's leaders, especially Ghandi and his non-violence movement. Meanwhile, the surrounding rulers have denied Flos's return and suppressed news about him. Discovering that some of the neighboring cities are starving, Flos takes the Atwood twins, Mars, Orthenon and Maresar on a walk, also inviting a few of his subjects. As they are walking, talking about religion, their procession grows to a few thousand. Orthenon realizes that Flos is using his Skill [Rapid March], leading them to the city of Rast. Inspired by Trey's retelling of the story of Jericho and the Hebrews, Flos leads the procession and marches around the city, announcing his return. Galvanized by Flos, the people of Rast turned on their leaders, joining the King of Destruction.<ref>[[Chapter 4.03 K]]</ref>

However, this accomplishment is marred by declarations of war from several nations including Hellios and Germina. Flos initially sends Orthenon and Maresar to lead an army against a coalition of armies.<ref>[[Chapter 4.04 K]]</ref> However, when injured refugees begin pouring in, he is unable to withstand seeing his people get hurt, and leaves to fight, taking Trey and Teres with him. With reinforcements from Venith, Flos and his army is able to lead the enemy coalition back to the city, where Gazi activates the [Storm Cage] spell, decimating much of the forces, forcing the rest to surrender.<ref>[[Chapter 4.05 K]]</ref> Flos sells them to the Traders of Roshal, a decision that Teres accepts, but Trey is disgusted by, leading to a fallout between them.<ref>[[Chapter 4.06 KM]]</ref>
