Rein sighed, "what on earth was I happy for...?" He turned back towards the others.
"They are all unconscious, so you all need to take care of them, especially this man laying here, don’t let him go anywhere" Rein said while pointing to Keiji. He looked at Ariel and straightway disappeared, along with the people he ca with.
The soldiers after Rein left were feeling more energetic than ever, to have seen their leader whom the rumours call to be very powerful in person. Plus he saved everyone that was frozen with barely any strain. The soldiers were convinced than ever they were following the right path.
They rested two days, treated the wounded and began to match forward again. In the entire history of the Forgan empire the closes the enemy has ever reached was the Dexinci city which was never been captured, but now the enemy just captured Dexinci city and is moving forward to one more terroritory before they reach the capital city, if Templain City is captured, things would definitely be bad for the empire because, Templain city was the empire’s core when it ca to resources.
"Since we have the Temple of Rexia in that place we should be less worried, they are quite the strong influence with a lot of strong paladins" Count Alfonso said.
"Wow, when did we begin to depend on religious believers to protect our kingdom" Duke Griswold said.
"What are you insinuating Duke Griswold, we have lost our precious silver knight, because of the treachery behaviour of their child the other Duchies have also been imprisoned and will be executed after the war is over, right now we have not spare ti to care about our pride, we don’t know how strong these guys are but we know they are definitely stronger than any foes we have faced till date" Duke Edgerton said.
"Then doesn’t it just ans it is ti we bring in the chanical titans we prepares for our war with Azure but never got to use?" Duke Bardulf said.
"Indeed you are right Lord Bardulf, let us make them match forward to the enemies base and destroy them" Duke Filmore shouted.
"No, those titans will be and only be for the defense of the capital city, and we all know your son is a full for working out with the enemy, if it wasn’t for your strong influence, you would also be where Duke Belmont it right now" Duke Griswold said.
"Well, I guess it is ti for us to perso–"
~Bam~
A Knight ran inside hurriedly.
"Refhreit City, Gellaile County, Yiggridisvil and Rombreit have all been captured by the enemy. Plus our Ryders squad has been completely defeated, the enemy had a stronger Ryders squad, tens - no maybe hundreds of flight mounts, we stood no chance!!" The Knight yelled and fell to his feet afterwards.
"The empire is done for this ti around" he said.
~ woooosh~
He’s head went flying as Duke Edgerton pulled his sword. He turned back to the rest of the nobles as the eting.
"It is ti for us to go out...we will et them at Templain and stop them there." He said.
"Right"
All of them gulped and could barely made a face as the knight’s body fell to the ground with blood pouring out continuously.
Neza knelt in front of his father, his mother seated beside. The other princes and princesses were standing behind Neza and the crown prince was standing behind the Emperor.
"So you failed to stop the enemy?"
"They had vampires" Neza said.
The rest of them flinched except the Emperor himself.
"So?"
"I’m very sorry Father"
"You ca back...you shouldn’t have"
"..." He replied nothing.
"Father, I’m sure they won’t get past Templain" The crown prince said.
"Have you heard anything from your brother?"
"No sir" The crown prince replied.
"It seems he has made quite the resolve to betray his ho for a stranger" The Emperor said.
Cualli tightened his fist where he stood, the others could not bare to say anything either.
"Etzli" the Emperor called out"
The blonde haired Prince quickly went on his knees, "Yes your majesty"
"You and your twin brothers, Tlacelel and ztli, will go to Templain, I place a lot of expectations on you...You all leave my sight now, except the crown prince..."
All of them left, the empress reluctantly stood up and slowly left, gritting her teeth. The Emperor stood up from his throne seat and walked Father.
"If your mother was here, she probably would’ve known the best way out of this... this empire was able to be this great thanks to her wisdom. And I see that sa wisdom in you Yaotl, what do we do? It seems our enemies are quite formidable that ti around."
The crown prince trembled but tightened his fist, "I have t their leader before"
The Emperor turned back to him, "oh? How is he?"
Even though he was trying so much not to express his trembling, he could hardly control it.
"He’s strong, I don’t know what will happen if we don’t peacefully surrender" The crown prince said.
"We can’t! They have taken all out cities all we have left is Templain and this place, if we surrender now, we would be reduced to a kingdom. This empire was built on the exhausting, never ending struggle of seventeen Emperors before , you think I would not be a disgrace to my ancestors if I surrendered?!"
"Then would you be less of a disgrace of you lose the whole of the empire and we are left with nothing, atleast we will be able to preserve our kingdom and we cam always grow and fight back again, but we won’t do that if we do not accept defeat now."
"You talk as though you are very sure this Reinard will win"
"Father you have no idea, the subordinates he posses, they aren’t human...his presence itself is terrifying, that person can’t be human, I can feel it that we are ssing with sothing we should not be ssing with all for the sake of greed. This is too big of a price to pay for wanting riches, Father we have to surrender"
The Emperor sighed, "as long as I am Emperor I will never surrender, but do all you can to survive...if this person is truly as you speak of despite knowing how strong your father is...then I guess my end is near, though I doubt if Raha will let
die peacefully"
"Father, you shouldn’t speak of death"
"I’m too great of an Emperor to lead a kingdom Yaotl, if we would definitely be losing, that ans I will be dying...you can take matters into your hands after then. I also hope that one way or the other, you find a way to deal with Neza and Eztli, they are both ticking ti bombs that can explode anyti. You should take this opportunity to kill them"
"Father?!! How could you speak of that so casually!" The crown prince nagged.
"You have a kind heart, too kind, it’s your weakness, they’ll kill you if ...*cough*cough* ..." The Emperor staggered as he coughed out blood.
"Father how co?!!" The crown prince ran towards his father to help but the Emperor rejected his help and stood well.
"Father, have you been poisoned?"
"...so it seems...Raha is quite persistent on making Nezahualphilli the Emperor...with my support out of the way, getting rid of you will be easy which is why you have to get rid of them first"
The crown prince sighed, "I can’t continue like this, if being Emperor ans I have to walk on the corpse of my brothers then I’ll gladly step down, I can’t be a savage because of a the throne." He said looking into his father’s eyes and walked out.
The Emperor sighed, "You indeed are a son of your mother" he said and sat back on the throne.
"Perhaps it will be reasonable to end things at Templain, if he is really as strong...then we can surrender and still have sothing left"
....
The Moon Empire soldiers continued their march to Templain having received news of the successful siege. The march to Templain was much longer, it took fourteen days in total. Not to say on reaching the forest which was the outskirts of the gated city, they were no place to camp which ant they had to attack imdiately.
The soldiers were supplied with Stamina recovery potions as they wouldn’t be getting any ti to rest.
The Forgan empire soldier were already outside the city, with five 14 ft tall, chanical titans. The black knights, the blue knights, the rest of the red Knights, all the rcenaries they could get and with the imperial Knight within the city which was not known of, as the Emperor’s movent to Templain was made a top secret.
Jon gave a little speech to the soldiers as the gained all the Stamina they could.
"I don’t have much to say, as you all have seen the might of the one we follow. Spare the ones that beg for their life, kill the ones that are desperate to kill you, protect each other and try everything within and outside your might to survive this war. I greatly sense that it will be different from here hence. The ryders will be joining us as reinforcent. Do not loose courage, we can definitely win this. We have three dragon on our side and should things go wayward, we have a deity that is leading us. Don’t loose morale and instead plunge forward with pride!!"
All the soldiers began to shout and yell so much that their voices shook the ground where all the forces of the forgan empire were standing, the soldiers gulped and shivered as they heard the noise.
Everything went silent the next minute and -
~Grrrr~
~stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp...~
The soldiers ca running at them, one horses and on foot. Cloud of dust followed from behind as rushed forward with their weapons in the air.
~Woooooooooosssh~
They trembled in disarray as the the gold dragon’s fire breathe poured out from above. So did the two other dragons hovered from above.
~whish~
Sothing as fast as a light suddenly hit the gold dragon.
~KRAASH~
They crashed together.
The white dragon rose up, her head and neck seed to blend seamlessly into one another, and her wings appeared sowhat frayed along the edges. She had a flap of skin, called a dewlap, lined with spines beneath their chins. Her heads were very streamlined, and she had high crests atop her skull. She had a crisp, vaguely chemical odor.
"Hello Erindell, it is rather a surprise to et you here"
