The Sword Emperor, emperor of the Ashikaga empire, with his huge might and a majestic aura was giving a speech to an arena of millions of people while standing on a large stage surrounded by guards, consisting of both peasants and nobels, with him stood the heavenly beauty, the dragon empress and the envoy of Britannia.

Within the huge crowd stood a young peasant, his parents had been killed by rebels when he was 5, and he had since barely survived as a beggar, a large reason for his survival was with the help of the daily rations of the empire provides to its citizens.

The young beggar had always inspired to be like the emperor, he had indisputable respect for the emperor, maybe it was because of the food rations or the public execution of those rebels, or maybe the emperor's undisputed strength in the whole world.

As he listened to the speech, he gradually began to understand its content, The empire was planning to attack and absorb a kingdom on the northwest border of the empire, and even further expand the empire's territories.

But both the Tsar, mighty emperor of Rus, and the Leader of the heavenly demon empire had agreed to defend if the kingdom was attacked, Intense hate for both these figures grew in this beggars heart, especially the tsar, it wasn't just him but almost all of the people present here showed anger.

The speech lasted for a whole hour as both the emperor and empress talked, and it finally ended with the envoy giving a small speech encouraging trade between the empire and Britannia and how several more pill towers were going to be built in major cities of the empire. 

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

As the speech ended and people dispersed to their normal life for these people War had become the norm, ever since the empress become venerable rank and the empire almost doubled its military power, the empire has been rapidly expanding its territories to the point the mighty powers of the world were putting up a coalition against the empire. 

The current empire was the largest in the whole world, upheld by its 2 Supreme Venerable's, it stood as the mightiest military power in the whole world of Parthia.

"BANZAI!!" a roar rang from the crowd of millions as the speech ended and the emperor announced War. 

As the young boy headed towards his home, not like he had an actual house, it was just a small street-side shack. 

Intense emotions surged through this young man.

"When I reach 16, I can join the army and be a small part of the empire's eternal glory." He thought.

His eternal wish was to join the army and help glorify his empire, he was an extremely patriotic youth, maybe fueled by the emperor's recent speech, his desires were surging like fire, plus he believed if he went into the army, he would have a rather pleasant life.

As he reached his home he saw that the army was recruiting young cadets to fuel its manpower for the upcoming war, unfortunately, they never accept anyone under 16, so he didn't bother, although regretful he had no option. 

Reaching his small shack, he busied himself to train his body, from his shabby clothes it might not seem like it but his body was rather well developed. 

Time passed and the young youth had just finished his daily exercise, his whole body was covered in sweat, making it a bad experience for anyone but he didn't mind, he was used to it. 

It was almost time for the daily rations, and he was just getting ready when suddenly a sharp pain assaulted his brain and he immediately fell unconscious on the ground. 

Without even knowing, he had died, all his dreams and desires left unfulfilled, what kind of emotion would this young beggar have if he knew, disappointment, anger, or maybe peace, We shall never know.
