26 Demi god: 1

*Next day*

Act – Imperial court of Meng dynasty.

Emperor Meng Yi who was 21 years old was sitting on the throne was listening to all the officers in the courts. He looked like his father. His innocent face was now replaced by a cold face like his father Meng Yi.

Emperor already has 3 sons and 4 daughters, born from the consort and concubines. But he was strict like Meng Tian to his children.

Today, the court was busy with all imperial edicts and new suggestions. When the morning court was going to finish came to an envoy from the Li and Qian dynasty regarding the war going to happen against the newly Mongolian empire.

The new Mongolian empire was formed last by the new leader who forced all the Mongolian tribes under his empire. Now it has become growing trouble for the Three dynasties. Mongolian tribes are known for their strength in war. But when they were separate as tribes' dynasties had no fear. Now they have been preparing for war.

Both the Li and Qian have lost their strength in the war that happened between them until 3 years before. Now next-generation of Li and Qian are emperors of the respective country decided to stop the war and develop their nation like Meng. But next trouble came for them in the form Mongolian army. Both nations are still rebuilding their army and had a maximum of 500,000 soldiers in their country.

But the strength of the Mongolian army is expected to be around 2 million. Which will be a disaster for them even if Li and Qian fought against them combined.

So, the envoys are sent to Meng capital to ask the Emperor of Meng for support by sending Meng soldiers in the war against the Mongolian empire army.

Hearing the message from the envoy's emperor told them he will inform his decision tomorrow by discussing it with officials.

Both envoys of the nation nodded and left the court because they can only see some hope in defeating the Mongolian army with the help of Meng.

After the envoys left, Meng Yi asked the opinion of the officials regarding this war.

Official 1 – Your majesty, this war is impossible Mongolian are known for their numbers and strength. We will only lose the lives of our innocent soldiers.

Official 2 - Your majesty, although we have 800,000 soldiers in the army, we can't send them all. We can only a maximum of 400,000 soldiers more will weaken our defences.

Official 3 - Your majesty, even if we sent soldiers, we need a good commander who has experience in northern planes. Otherwise, it will be a big loss.

Official 4 - Your majesty, our dynasty hasn't been involved in the war for the last 17 years so the performance of soldiers will not good in northern planes.

Emperor Meng Yi thought for a minute, then he got an idea why can't send the elder brother Victor for this war as commander. I know he is stronger than anyone from one of the secrets I heard from the father when I became emperor. I also that Elder Brother was the brain of many things that happened in the last 19 years in the Meng dynasty.

Father even said that elder brother Victor has an army of millions but never uses them or revealed them to anyone. I saw him fight equally against Master William who is known for his absurd strength greater than my father.

He also said elder brother Victor was not allowed to participate in any wars or fights until the age of 22, later he can reveal his strength if he wants. Maybe I should ask for elder brother Victors help. He can be one of the 3 general I am planning to send to support Li and Qian.

I also told this idea to the official they were surprised because they know Victor is trained for war by William and he has also taught him the art of war.

Also, it was a secret known to some official, that William is also a powerful commander. They even had him scene fight of William with another commander of Meng. Basically, William taught a new generation of generals and commanders to fight. Even the training was hell for all generals and commanders of Meng.

So, they believe Victor is suitable for this war against the Mongolian. They supported these ideas. But some official not knowing these secrets opposed the idea, thinking Victor is a weak child.

Emperor Meng Yi with no other ways to prove the capabilities of Victor asked them to look forward to the assessment of Victor's capabilities.

Emperor wanted to send a letter to Victor to invite him to the capital with a detailed explanation. But when he was thinking one of the guards informed him regarding Victor visiting him after the court. Hearing this he was also happy.

He then said to the guard to prepare for a fight going to happen. Knowing what the emperor was planning he went to do his works.

He asked all officials to stay after the court morning session to see a fight.

Victor knew about this matter from the shadows he left in Meng Yi shadow for safety. So, went directly to the place of the fight. Meng Yi was surprised to see Victor there because his guard mentioned he was not able to meet and tell to Victor regarding their fight. But he saw Victor already prepared for a fight with black dragon armour and black dragon monarch sword. The Meng Yi also saw a different aura from the Victor he hasn't seen last time when they met.

Officials also came to the arena to watch the fight, Victor, with generals.

When general Lu Qian and Victor are prepared for the fight. Meng Yi also announced the start of the fight.

Next what the ignorant official saw was totally different from what they taught. General Lu Qian was totally oppressed in the fight, while Victor doesn't even have a change in the face.

General Lu Qian is also one of the people Victor had two blood ceremony with 8 years before. So, he is also a shadow vampire otherwise he never could have been not able to stand against the aura of Victor.

Seeing the utter defeat of general Lu Qian every other official who don't know the true strength of Victors got assured with this fight while apologizing to the Meng Yi for their foolishness.

After everyone left Meng Yi, went to have a talk about the upcoming war and his request for Victor to support Meng army. Victor accepted without thinking because he also has bloodthirsty vampire blood, how can he not love war and killing. It is his true nature. He hides this because of William's instruction.

.

Authors note: I haven't mentioned the William had been training Victor for the last 15 years before he went on a journey. Hint: Victor will not use his shadow soldiers for war, but his pure strength. His weapons haven't been used for the last 22 years. I prepared all this chapter for later days but I can't wait to see the response of readers.
