Crisis

The Trunma Kingdom.

Four people eating in harmony at the Dining Hall.

"Father, I want to learn how to use Rakzswei."

Dammi sighed and shook his head, if Nyken had decided on something, she'll be persistent at it for months, even for years.

There was a time where Nyken wanted to learn how to ride a horse, Dammi kept rejecting the idea, but after eight months of persistence, Dammi finally acknowledged and let Nyken learn how to ride a horse on one condition, she wouldn't learn how to ride a wyvern, or anything faster than a horse.

Although not wanting to agree, Nyken's father gave that condition particularly, nothing else.

Dammi looked at Nyken, not knowing what to say, Nyken is already 19 years old this year.

Then, after making up his mind, Dammi looked at Nyken sternly and rejected.

"No, I wouldn't approve of it, your brother is there for a reason, he can protect you forever, right Gordon?"

Nyken looked at her Big Brother as she kept shaking her head, trying to make Gordon reject.

Gordon so this as he coughed and replied.

"Uhum, Yes Father, of course, I will."

Nyken pouted as she sank at her chair.

Dammi smiled as he nodded his head and chuckled as he continues eating.

Then, the woman on the other end of the table, Nyken's mother, Yvon spoke.

"Nyken, Manners, manners."

Nyken sighed as she fixed her posture and continued eating.

Yvon then looked at Dammi as she spoke: "Husband, I`ll be returning to the Palwan Kingdom to celebrate my Mother's birthday, will you come?"

Dammi shook his head as he replied: "I would've, but you know how many things I needed to finish and how busy I am lately, if I leave for a month, I`ll definitely be dead after I return."

Yvon chuckled as she nodded her head and continued.

"Well, just don't stress yourself too much, okay?"

"Of course my Dear."

The four of them continued to eat, after a while, they finished and headed to each of their rooms, well, Gordon returned to the garrison to check on the Kingdom's troops.

Nyken pretended to enter her room, opening it and closing it at the same time, she then looked around and immediately sneak her way out of the chamber area.

After a while, Nyken arrived at one of the towers inside the castle, opening it, she immediately saw thousands and thousands of books, it might even reach more than a million.

Nyken was astounded, then a smile formed on her lips as she started to make her way towards the Rekzsei book section.

...

Mrakna Empire, Capitol.

Someone is rushing towards the Throne room, then after he entered the room, he immediately shouted.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Audacious! Shouting at the throne room!"

Four Generals immediately brandished their glaives towards the scout.

"Hold!"

The one on the throne looked at the scout and waved his hand, the Emperor remembered that man, he was the one that was tasked to monitor the borders between the Montblan Empire and the Trunma Kingdom.

"Speak!"

The scout was prepared to retaliate, he is a master of Rakzswei Wind element, even if he couldn't fight, he could at least escape with his life intact, but hearing the Emperor's words, he immediately eased up.

"Reporting, Your Majesty, there are movements from the Montblan Empire, a massive army numbering a hundred thousand men are currently marching their way towards the Trunma Kingdom, that happened a month ago!"

Hearing the scout's report, the Emperor immediately stood up as the glass in his hands dropped, his eyes wide open and his body trembling.

"General Rudon, General Gener, get your fastest cavalry regimen and immediately rush to Trunma Kingdom's aid!"

General Rudon and General Gener were a triple elemental user, but there is something common with the both of them, they are also a wind Rakzswei users, which means they have fast mobility skills and buffs at their disposal.

"Yes your Majesty!"

The two of them bowed as they immediately rushed.

Although they couldn't care less about any other Kingdoms on Mrakna Empire's territory, Trunma Kingdom is a different story, they had followed their Emperor for so many years and watched him grow old, their Emperor only had a single friend through those time, and that is the King of Trunma Kingdom, Dammi Triwivs.

Just by that reason, they would rush, but there is another thing, the Trunma Kingdom is the biggest asset of Mrakna Empire, if the Trunma Kingdom was to be destroyed, their Economy would definitely plummet, removing them the advantage they had with the other Empires.

They were standing so much above from Montblan and Antliopo Empire solely because of the Trunma Kingdom's effort, if the Trunma Kingdom were to fall, they would be evenly matched by the following years, it might only take five to ten years, but they would definitely have the disadvantage.

Mrakna Empire is an enemy of both Antliopo Empire from the North, and Montblan Empire from the South.

If they kept getting pincered, they would steadily lose their advance without the Trunma Kingdom's aid.

Rudon and Gener immediately looked at each other as they nodded and separated.

They immediately went to their most elite and fastest troops, the both of them simultaneously shouted at their regimen.

Gener/Rudon: "MEN PREPARE! THE FUTURE OF EMPIRE NEEDS HEROES!"

The Men, sitting quietly with closed eyes opened them as they looked at their general with burning will and replied.

"YES GENERAL!"

After replying, they immediately equipped their weapons and only took a few dried meat and drinks as they made their way to pick the fastest horse they had in it.

After just a few moments, two ten thousand powered men was ready to set.

Both of the Generals met at the southern entrance with their army.

Gener and Rudon nodded at each other as they shouted.

"Forward men! To the Trunma Kingdom!"

"WOAH!"

Two of the Empire's most elite units rushed.

It would take at least ten days for them to reach the Trunma Kingdom from Mrakna Empire's capital, and with rest, it would most likely take them fourteen.

But these elites can go on for ten days without sleep and still full of vigor, the maximum they could take without rest is twenty days.

All of these elites were Rakzswei double elemental users, Light and Wind attributes.

Gener and Rudon, on the other hand, were actually nervous, if it had been a month, the enemies would definitely be close to the Trunma Kingdom.

The both of them frowned as they estimated the slowest and fastest time that the enemies would take to reach the Trunma Kingdom.

"Seven if fast."

"Fourteen if slow."

These thought is driving the both of extremely nervous, but they are wishing for the slowest to happen.
