536. The legend of zero deaths

536. The legend of zero deaths

"Oh, this brings back bad memories," Iroh spoke while looking at the battlefield. There were lots of soldiers, sitting in trenches. Their eyes looked hopeless and their bodies looked weak. There were also some cries coming, screaming to go back home.

"This is humanity for you. War and fighting are in the blood." Leonidas commented.

"Sad, but that is also why humanity always progressed. Because of the desire for more, for something better." Ragnarok added.

At the moment, there were no active fights going on. Both sides were under a mutual ceasefire. But still, small skirmishes would happen along the border. But they were also understaffed and not well funded, which in turn created more problems.

"Dobby, you come with me. You three, stay here, and organize the army, help the wounded. Cheer them up, give them some good food." Alexander instructed them and left to cross the border and meet the prince of Aerugo.

He went to the border where a gate was made for the exchange of prisoners of wars from both sides.

"I am Major General Universe. I am sent by the Central Command to negotiate with your prince. Inform him to set up a meeting." Alexander said to the Aerugonian soldiers. He was going to solve this problem peacefully. It was going to be the return of the legend of zero deaths.

"We have been ordered to deny any such demands. Prince Claudio Rico will only talk to the Fuhrer."

"Hmmm, well, I guess I have no choice then," Alexander muttered and used his Jedi powers.

"Go and inform your prince that Miracle Maker is here," Alexander ordered. He knew that this nickname of his was more famous in the world than his real name.

Alexander waited for a while and sure enough, the soldier returned and brought him to a temporary building inside their area. It was surrounded by soldiers and tents of other soldiers. The building showed Alexander what kind of prince this man was. The building had decorations made of gold, silk curtains, and other overly expensive items. This was when the people of the country were suffering.

Alexander was surprised thinking that the Army was still following him. ~Can he still pay the salary?~

Alexander and Dobby were led inside a big hall. There was a golden throne at the end on which a brown-haired man/boy was sitting in regal attire.

"So, the mighty Fuhrer sent one of his pawns to talk peace?" Prince Claudio spoke proudly.

~I don't even know what this Fuhrer looks like.~ Alexander thought.

"Yeah, he sent me to talk to some corrupt prince who ignores his people and uses tax money to make gold chairs. Are you that prince?" Alexander asked.

"You have nerves coming here and disrespecting me." Prince Claudio replied with a smile.

Alexander chuckled, "Of course, I have the strength to back my words."

"KNEEL! You are in the presence of Prince Claudio Rico, the ruler of Aerugo." He loudly claimed.

Dobby chuckled, "Add narcissist to his titles."

Alexander walked closer to the spoiled prince.

"GUARDS!" Prince Claudio shouted but nobody listened to him, nobody came.

Alexander waved his hand and two more chairs appeared in front of the prince's.

"Listen here, kid. I didn't come here to play king and peasant here. This is a modern world we are living in. The way you have treated your people is a big enough sin that you should kill yourself in shame. But, I noticed that your EQ seems pretty low so you probably don't feel remorse.

"Here is the simple offer, you are going to concede your claim to Aerugo and let Amestris annex it peacefully. What will you get by doing this? Well, for starters, you will be pardoned and be left to live a comfortable life. The war will be finished and your people will prosper." Alexander offered him.

"And why would I do that? I don't see myself losing the war." He rebuked.

"No, you lost the moment you let me enter your country. The clock is ticking, decide what you will do." Alexander told him and took out a teapot.

"You can't kill me. They will not let you leave." Prince Claudio said, but his voice was breaking in fear now. He had heard the name of Miracle Man. He had supposedly never lost a mission. He felt his life was in danger.

He made a run for it and dashed to the door. But, one wave of Alexander's hand made him fly back to his seat.

Claudio's face looked scared now. He had tears and snort on his face. "Please, let me go. Don't kill me, I-I will give you money."

*Sigh*

*BAM*

A light slap made him come out of his pathetic state, "You fool. When did I say I would kill you? No, I'm just asking you to sign these papers.

"It's a win-win situation. You get to live happily for the rest of your life in luxury, the war ends and your people get jobs and live a happy life."

"But what about my power? I will be powerless then." Claudio argued.

"Then you will die."

"But you said you wouldn't kill me." Claudio cried.

"I wouldn't. But if you don't sign these papers, then the war will continue and some soldier might shoot you accidentally. Or maybe a revolution will happen and your own people will chop your head off in good old french style." Alexander said, scaring him even more.

"French?" Claudio was confused but he understood the meaning.

Claudio read the document seriously now. It stated that he would receive protection and be able to live luxuriously. All he had to do was give up his small principality.

His hand shivered as he lifted the pen to sign the papers. He was terrified by Alexander's powers that could make things out of nothing and make him fly.

"You have a philosopher's stone, don't you?" He asked Alexander.

Alexander looked surprised, "Hmm, well, I have many of those."

*Gulp*

"I surrender my authority over Aerugo." He signed the papers and laid back on his chair.

Alexander loudly whistled and soon a few guards came in. Claudio was shocked as he thought that they were dead because they didn't answer when he called them. But it all didn't matter now.

"Soldiers. Prince Claudio has signed the papers to allow Aerugo to come under Amestris. The war is over, you all can go back home and soon, lots of jobs and trade will go through this land. People won't suffer anymore." Alexander announced.

The soldiers were shocked and they looked at the prince but didn't get any reply.

"Don't look at him. He will live as a normal but wealthy citizen now. You all will be reemployed soon and keep on receiving salaries so be at ease. The widows and orphans of dead soldiers will also get compensation just as they do in Amsteris." Alexander assured them.

All the soldiers were feeling better now. They soon sent men out to announce the end of the war. The news spread like wildfire all over the front. They were shocked and happy that they now get to live without the worry of dying anytime.

...

Ajax was sitting on the train alone as everyone else had gone out after some Dr. Tim Marcoh. He was sleeping at that time and they didn't wake him up.

*Pop*

The snoring bubble burst and he woke up. He looked around confusedly. Hats was sitting on his right. He really sat like a human and looked weird.

"Where is everyone?" Ajax asked.

"They went after some guys. They said they'll be back soon." Hats said.

"WAIT! Didn't they ask you why you could speak?" He inquired.

"They did, I just told them that I'm the soul of a dead man living inside the body of a dead cat. They believed me as there was a living armor with them." Hats explained.

"Haha, you are a genius, Hats." Ajax laughed.

"Heh, I guess I am." Hats smirked and crossed his legs smugly.

Ajax then noticed Edward outside the window, "Hey, how could you leave me like this. What if someone had kidnapped me?"

"The only one in danger were the people on this train." Edward barked at him.

"I guess you are right, 'little' big brother," Ajax replied with a smirk, making Edward frustrated.

"YOU WAIT! I'm coming in now." Edward shouted and ran inside the bogie.

[Alexander is gathering power right now. Soon, the first conflict will happen and he will find out about the Homunculus. Someone on Webnovel asked me why Alexander sometimes acts like a god in worlds and sometimes acts like what he's doing right now.

In short, it all depends on his preset identity. If he is already some kind of a king and established god then he will directly act as a god. If he is a normal man like right now, then he will first start influencing the world to make them see him as a good and powerful person then he would rise through the ranks. All this so that people believe in his actions. (This condition does not apply in short arcs.)]
