Chapter 222: Into The Warfront
Rein was sitted and in front of him was huge record of books stockpiled.
"What is this?" Rein asked.
"This are all books on how to be a leader, a figure and a symbol of peace."
"Just so you know Yhuzia, I am not interested in being so petty thing known as king."
"No..." Yhuzia responded to him, "there’s no way I’m going to let you be so petty things known as king. You will be the greatest emperor in the weste- no in the whole world."
"It’s still the sa thing though" Rein sighed but his face suddenly lit up. Before Yhuzia blinked he had disappeared along with the books, "Master Rein?" he bent and checked under the table, started checking everywhere, "Master Rein this is unfair, where are you... well if the books are gone too then I guess it’s a good thing."
Rein put the books in the library, "good, that way I won’t really need to read them, he sat on his study table and continued a sketch he seed to have started a while ago, he could hear Yhuzia’s voice calling out to him from outside.
Things had gotten very busy for Arnette, Jon, Natasha, Braschiold and even Lorrim who was the only one that seed to have gone to the western continent with Reinard and the others.
"After conquering Caenleigh, there is a huge need for reformation, Caenleigh were known for their magical prowess, they were exceedingly good at magic perhaps things would have not ended as fast as it did if their tower master had decided to still keep fighting, the tower was a force of control of mages in kingdoms and empires, but not every Kingdoms needed that force, apart from the three empires that had a magic tower, Caenleigh was one of the two kingdoms that also had a magic tower which ant they had really strong magicians, but the world knows not of how they still lost when they had strong magicians because no one witnessed the war. But the tower master knew that surrendering was the best option when he was faced with vampires and what he mistook for beast-folks because of their appearance, they were much more powerful than that not to talk of the young mage that was with them, a black haired boy that was capable of double casting, not just that he could cast spells of two different attribute simultaneously without even chanting, at that point the Tower master knew he had completely underestimated the enemy but after being defeated he began to see since Yhuzia decided to let him be in the formation planning as he will be a valuable tool to convincing the people since their king is dead. Roldan Bramford the tower master was a very resilient man in his late fifties, he did not particularly have ties and was not easily impressed. As soon as Caeleigh was conquered, reformations plan began imdiately, Yhuzia had asked for help from his scholar friends around the world as most of the people that were with him were battle freaks, the only thing that they were obsessed about was getting stronger. He was busy travelling from here to there putting things together and was tutoring Rein with the few chances he could get.
"You said you wanted to talk to ?" Yhuzia answered to Roldan, the tower master who just walked into the royal courtroom that was bustling with people and papers.
"What are you doing?" Roldan asked.
"Building a nation?"
"Why?"
Yhuzia paused. "because we would be going to war with the Forgan empire...?"
"What? that’s insane why would you do that?"
Yhuzia smiled, "the empire wants to obliterate us without having to do it with their hands...isn’t it only right that we pay them back the kind gestures, by obliterating them without them knowing it is us"
"That is crazy, most people would run away the Forgan empire is the strongest empire on this continent, it is said that their silver knight alone can slaughter thousands."
"..." Yhuzia laughed out loud and sighed as he stopped, "we have a man that can bring the whole empire to his knees on his own"
"That is absurd..." Roldan scoffs, "if you do why would you bother go through all of this?"
"because I want to prove my worth to him, not just ...all his surbodinates too. We know he has beco strong but we want to let him know he doesn’t always have to use that strength and can always rely on us"
"This is madness! You would fight the Forgan empire on your own just to prove your worth to a man, you will use your life as a bargain?!" the tower master was very much confused as all this was not making sense to him anymore.
Yhuzia grinned while nodding his head, "make no mistake mister Roldan, this is not a bargain, I would never enter into a fight I can’t win"
That mont Jon walked into the courtroom.
"Why do you have to call for
as soon as I am done... can’t I get a little rest, for three months you had
training mages... my guild mbers had to suffer much because of that so had even thought I would not co for them, they had lost hope in
and all that is because you said that was not the important matter right now. Let
tell you again, I hate your ways, if you will keep ignoring lives and placing less importance on them I would let Rein know of how rotten you are."
Yhuzia smiled, "one way or the other you do agree with , that is why you have not reported my actions. Because you trust my judgent. We don’t have the ti to bicker at each other, you are the only one with a brain I can rely on." Yhuzia looked at Roldan who’s mouth was open from just seeing Jon.
’what manner of man is this... this is the first ti in my life I have ever seen so much manner gather around a mage, is he a grandmage perhaps...that should not be possible at such a young age.’
"oh and this Jon Clemon, he is a nine star mage, also what you mage refer to as nine circles, he is also in the ascended realm" Yhuzia said while smiling.
"That’s impossible!!" Roldan scread from shock. ’that is impossible, it took
twenty-five years to leave the rookie realm, and since then i have been stuck at the pro level, you are telling
this young man has entered the ascended realm at this young age...? "But that does not still explain this much manner?" the man said.
"That will be because I am a glacier, I command mana" Jon answered him and left with Yhuzia.
’Elentalist that don’t cast spells but instead harness the will of elents using mana has a ans of propagation. I never in my life, thought I would et soone so great and talented...’ He quickly caught up to Yhuzia, "Is there anyway I may be if help to you sir?"
Yhuzia smiled, "You don’t need to be of help to ... just tie your loose ends and wait till you et my master"
’This bastard, he used ...’ Jon said in his head.
***************
"Father will the empire not help us?"
The King of Perrigwyn was silent even though his son had asked him a question. He then sighed monts later, "watch and learn well Admon, you are my son...my successor. We will win this war with or without the help of the Empire, so watch how to properly win a war."
"Yes Father"
A soldier suddenly runs in, "the crown prince is here your majesty"
"What?" The King and all the officials exclaid, the Prince eyes lit up.
"They wouldn’t abandon us afterall." He said.
The crown prince entered. "Make no mistake, I did not co here as of my father’s command, I ca here because I want to make you owe . I have arrived with thirty thousand troops. How many do you all have?" The crown prince walked to the King’s seat who imdiately stood up.
"Fifty thousand sir, and we have ten thousand stationed at the kingdom defence." The King answered.
The crown prince sat down. "What about the enemy?"
"They don’t have much your highness" the king responded.
"Numbers"
"About twenty thousand, their calvary and included."
"...that’s not making any sense... you all should have won the war by now"
"Yes Your highness, but everyti we send troops, none return not even the commander, not even the horses. And their number still always remains the sa anyti we send scouts."
The Crown prince expression changed, "...strange...prepare for war right now...an all out war"
"But your highness-"
He interrupted the King, "...I never should have co here. You all have lost, you are so short sighted, you satbhere comfortable, with ten thousand n at your capital you think you have secured it all, the enemy attacked you first, but both of you are on a battle front and yet they are not the ones coming to you, you keep going to them and never returning, which ans they have you within the grasp of their hands, don’t be too confident...this battle was even over before it even started, who the hell are these Fenrir Kingdom, I’ve known them for years and they don’t particular stand out so why now?!" The crown prince walked out angrily.
It was the first ti many had seen him like that, with the heavy atmosphere each of his words carried no one in the tent could dare to voice their opinion, not because he would kill them, but because even their instincts respected every part of him, the crown prince was genuine in a way that made every one want to protect him.
The General Commander sat with his three Generals, the Knight Lord, the Singing Spear and Rodeo. They were strong generals of the Fenrir Kingdom.
"I have been sitting in this camp doing nothing, for the past fourty days" Rodeo said.
"Commander, should we consider it a bliss or feel like we are being undermined by vampires." The Knight lord said.
"Don’t raise your hopes up Knight lord, we should consider ourselves lucky we have not been killed yet" the commander said to them.
"But are we not just going to be thrown away when this is over..." the knight lord said.
"...who would have thought that vampires having been living amongst us all these years, and have been controlling our Kingdom from the shadows." Singing spear said.
"But if they have been controlling it for the past two years, these past two years was the best two years of my service to the kingdom." Rodeo said
"You are right, we can’t deny that"
"...." The commander got silent for a while, then touched the floor.
"What is it commander?" Knight lord asked.
"They are coming!" The commander shouted.
"That’s absurd no vampire is here right now and according to them, they said they were not going to co anyti soon so they took the advantage to invade their capital from behind." Rodeo said hurriedly as he stood up and grabbed his sword.
"I don’t know what is going on, their predictions must have been wrong but we will protect Fenrir, this might might a good chance to prove ourselves. Rember the last two years were your best." He said to them and as he hurried outside and began to rally the soldiers but by that ti, fire arrows were already descending from the sky, everybody took cover wherever they could. They all were in disarray as the tents caught fire. The first thing that mattered when fighting a war was order, the enemy completely caught them off-guard and thoroughly planned their attack, because after the flaming arrows, calvaries ca trooping in stabbing and killing, it was a massacre. But the Commander did not give up right there, he grabbed the spear from one of the horse rider and swung him off his horse, he climbed on the horse and began to fight back as much as he could, the soldiers seeing their commander fight back began to get up and do all they can to fight but there was no point in it anymore, they were still rcilessly stabbed by the n on horses. Then a black horse gently marched in, it was the commander of the Perrigwyn troops, his horse slowly moved as he stabbed anyone that ca his way. The Commander sighted him from ahead and dashed at him.
But the Commander on a black horse grinned. He removed another spear from a dead soldier and held the two in his hand as the Fenrir Commander ran at him on a horse. Fenrir Kingdom’s commander threw the spear straight into his face but he used the spear on his left hand to block, the weight of both spear allowed it to fall of his hand, he focused on that one and pointed it forward as the commander drew out his sword and yelled as the horse got closer. Suddenly from above another black armored soldier fell on the Commander’s horse and stabbed him from behind.
"What the - "
The Perrigwyn Kingdom’s commander smiled, "who said I was ever going to fight fair wi-" before he could stop his head dropped on the floor.
"How annoying I hate guys like this" Vandraak said as he slowly landed on the floor.
