398 World War Part One

"Those bastards really think they are all that great!? Let's show them what us cultivators can do!" Tang Guanting projected his voice over the battlefield. 

The war had been going on for a month now. This time around, Alicia and Blake, were to stay put in her space. They were not to join the battle under any circumstances. It had been strictly forbidden by her parents, Tang An, Tang Ming, and King Augustus. All of her sisters and brothers were keeping an eye on Alicia to make sure she did not try to escape. When she heard that she was basically under house arrest, Alicia sighed and accepted her fate of sitting and doing nothing. At least Frey and Blake were next to her as well to keep her company. 

Loeri had decided to go to battle, along with her was Claire, Rose, and Annelia. They could have stayed behind but they wanted to strengthen their combat ability and fighting in a war was one of the best ways to do that. Especially against powerful foes. 

Tang An. Tang Ming. and King Augustus took up the leadership roles in Alicia's stead and were currently on the front lines directing their soldiers in pincer attacks. "These Golems are not bad!" Tang An said nodding her head into Approval. There were so many of them that their own soldiers had yet to enter the battle.

"For a long time, I have been working on this golem army in hopes of someday using them for the right cause. When the sign of the ruler was seen in the sky I was very happy. I could finally make use of them. I could finally support the one who would bring us into a new age. I of course had to make sure the new rulers were qualified, luckily Alicia and Blake both lived up to my expectations." Claude explained.

"I am not surprised. Alicia is one who respects her elders and goes against any injustice. She already had the attitude of a knight in her past life. Luckily this life she is able to live in a time and place where she can live her dream. She can rush into things without thinking sometimes. But… Wait… They dare to use such crappy area magic like that in front of me!?" After shouting, Tang An, clicked her fingers together destroying the massive magic circle in the air and forming one of her own, raining down balls of molten rocks onto the area killing those below. "As I was saying..."

Claude looked off into the distance in disbelief. 'Wasn't that a grand magic spell that took many to cast? She just destroyed it in an instant before instantly casting her own spell reaping thousands of lives.' Claude made a promise inside his heart. 'I will never mess with this woman!'

While the war was raging on Alicia's home continent, Old Don and Master Sei had led an army from the holy land to the shores of Sanavilia to counter the invasion that was going on there. "Those damn bastards decided to take this chance to try to rule the whole damn world!" 

Master Sei and his allies had put together a massive army of over three million. They were making their way across the land reclaiming everything the enemy had taken after landing onshore. They deliberately did it this way in order to give the invading army a surprise as they mow down their back lines. Master sei had also been preparing for such a war. He knew the next time the sign of the ruler was shown that things would progress in such away. He and Claude both had the same ideas. But Master Sei had built an army of magic users instead of golems. 

Two continents were at war and the leaders of the Holy Land had decided to take this chance to take over everything… In a hidden location in a large mountain range in the center of the Holy Land, a group of old men sat around a table holding a meeting. 

"So Claude and Master Sei have taken action against us." One old man said.

"What did you expect he has always been on the side of the pro-ruler faction." 

"We will need to deal with him in the future..."

"That won't be easy. Those old men behind him will step in."

"Then what do we do?"

"All we have to do is kill the two who would become the ruler. Once they are dead he will calm down. Just keep him busy on Sanavilia so he can't go to that backwater continent."

"We have reports that say that the army on that side is very powerful, much more powerful than we had ever imagined."

"This is a little vexing, anyone got any ideas?"

"What about sending in our elites?"

"So soon?"

"If we do not take care of those people now won't they show up?"

"This is troublesome… This should have been an easy task but since when did those people show up on that backwater continent."

"You forget the old name for that continent."

"God's Continent..."

"Such an imposing name…"

"Just remember to stay away from that territory."

"You mean the one where she slumbers?"

"If we wake her, our ends would be quick."

"Do not worry, the commanders all know to stay away from the northern side. If the Ice Queen were to truly awake… this world would be submerged into an ever lasting winter."

"What about the anomaly not too long ago?"

"It's best if you do not talk about it. Those beings are far beyond us."

"Agreed..."

"Blake, can I have another grape?" Alicia asked in a spoiled tone. She was curled up on Blake's lap resting her head on his chest enjoying her free time. 

Blake chuckled and peeled a grape and popped it into Alicia's mouth. "You have been eating a lot of these this past week." 

"I can't help it. I have been craving them. Look, even my belly is starting to get bigger." Alicia raised her shirt and exposed her stomach that was now looking somewhat plump. 

"That just means our child is growing up to be healthy."
