Chapter 21: a treachery

Robert POV

After the Rodgers clan left the palace to their home in the infernal realm I immediately received reports from the deity council that an emergency situation arose in world 20 or the lost paradise gateway from earth 20, I told the messenger of the deity council that I refuse because my long absence had destabilized the celestial empire’s allies, the messenger was angry and he told me that he will tell the deity council but I told him that my son will take my place so the messenger sent a message to the council, the council accepted, I decided to tell my son that he will replace me in this mission moreover he told me to stay there and rule a world on his own, I walked to my throne room and I summoned the council of our empire and I said to them:<< frosgore is a threat to our dominion and rule>>. My son came and said: << they are our allies father why are you going to betray them? >>. I answered: << Son you will understand that once you rule a nation you need to have no morals or honor but you need deception because the means justify the end which is a peaceful world under one empire and I mean our empire >>. He began to understand that a ruling king must have no morals if he wants to succeed as a ruler. I ordered the creation of 100 million angels from the Garden of Eden, I saw Lucifer bringing 50 million devils with him alongside 10 thousand dragons and 50 thousand golem created from golem master’s hard work, I gave a speech to the imperial army: << No mercy against those who threatens our empire, Kill everyone in front of you and leave no prisoner Frosgore shall be ours and the whole empires of the other continent, I declare that the celestial empire will be the only peace maker in this world, ONE WORLD, ONE EMPIRE , ONE PEOPLE NOW GO AND WIPE OUT THOSE GOTZISH BASTARDS, my son I assign you to succeed because a ruler need to know how to command, this is the new world and the end of ancient order of this world!>>. Our armies paraded in front of the divine square before going to battle.

Empire of Gotzland

Aurelius POV

I was happy with the new economic report that my financial minister gave me, I came to the markets to check on my population, a soldier told me to hurry up and return to the palace, I teleported and I saw the celestial empire messenger and I greeted him since he is our ally and I told him what is his message, he began reading the letter written by the emperor: “the new world order’s time will come, this will be a new age for this world so surrender or face the inevitable extermination that will happen to you and your family finally to your people”. I was angry, livid after hearing the message; I began shouting at him :<< TELL THAT TREACHERUS BASTARD THAT WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER TO HIS NEW ORDER AND WE WILL FIERCLY RESIST HIS TYRANNICAL RULE>>. The messenger smiled and told us that the imperial army will come and a massacre will begin and he left my palace, I quickly wrote a letter to the council of empires stating that I need help against the Madness of Emperor Robert Morningstar intending to dominate the entire world through violence and terror. I told the messenger to send this message to every member of the council and told him to tell them that their freedom is under threat, the messenger left and after 3 hours returned with the promise of them sending troops and even calling deities from the divine realm. I was happy after I heard this news and I was afraid that emperor Robert will start a massive war that will make the whole world suffer.

Rodgers Clan headquarters in the misty mountains of the Xian continent

Albert Rodgers POV

I immediately summoned the elders of the clan to discuss the recent actions, one of them said:<< this madness will lead to a second apocalyptic war where people lost a lot of their lives because of the ambitions of Alex Rodgers>>.

<< I agree this madness needs to stop but I wonder what he meant by the start of the new world order? >>. I answered: << the new world order is one world, one empire, one people, he doesn’t care about clans like us but he will target the empires and kingdom that are peaceful and independent will be his target, he even betrayed his allies in order to accomplish his goal, I decide that we will not intervene but I hope the last stand of the Gotzish people succeed because if they fall, the whole world will be in chaos and the empire will subjugate every nation one by one with severe brutality>>.

Alex Rodgers POV

I left with the army through dark forests and thick fog to avoid enemy scouts then told the soldiers to take the small city of Argotza, I ordered the mages to use poison magic to effectively kill any soldier, a soldier reported that the Gotzish city is densely populated with both citizens and soldiers, I told him to carry on my orders, the mages started to release poison magic and a lot of citizens were killed and were unable to breath even choking in their own blood, I ordered the soldiers to advance since all the population is dead, suddenly I got several reports that there are some people who survived the attack and they are soldiers, I told my armies not to panic and prepare for battle, the soldiers listened to me and formed a defensive line, the enemy soldiers begun firing their spells at us and we retaliated, a lot of enemy soldiers begun to wake up and attacked like they have nothing to lose, a fierce fighting started but it was not long before the enemy soldiers begun dying one by one and in the end they were all dead, we lost only 300 soldiers and Lucifer consider this battle to be our victory but I was pessimistic because I saw the resilience of the Gotzish soldiers and I realized that they will make this war difficult, I was right because the moment we left we saw frosgorian troops and reinforcements coming toward our positions, I ordered the army to split into mobile units in order to avoid encirclement, the enemy did what I predicted and tried to encircle our army and the allied mages attacked our army nonstop, I had to use infernal flames arrows spell, my attacks burned a lot of enemy soldiers to ashes, I ordered the angel troops to continuously fire holy spells at the enemy which made his lines break, when I saw the gap I immediately ordered my army to attack the army of the allies and overwhelm them with numbers, I realized that we were lured into a trap so I ordered my troops to fake a retreat, the enemy commander got fooled by the retreat and assembled his forces to attack us, we kept retreating and I even ordered the entire army to use their wings for additional speed, finally the allied armies were totally exhausted and I ordered a fierce attack on the exhausted enemy soldiers, a slaughter of enemy troops began as our battle became a one sided slaughter with our troops killing enemy soldiers without letting them prepare for a proper attack or reorganize them which totally routed the mage corps leaving the knights and archers alone, I kept killing too many knights and other infantry troops and I saw the commander trying to flee for his own life but I teleported behind his back and decapitated him with him, we captured too many enemy soldiers and I ordered their execution, we started a pursue on the retreating enemy troops finally killing them all after a massive aerial attack, I quickly sent Lucifer to report the results of the battle to my father.

Lucifer POV

I teleported to the celestial empire’s palace in the city of Eden, I kept asking for the emperor till I found him, I told him that we got a victory against 50 million allied troops of frosgore and Gotzland with casualties less than 2 thousand soldiers, Robert was impressed and told me to carry on so I continued:<< moreover my lord your son displayed tactical ingenuity like he was experienced in war and leading armies>>

<< he is a reincarnated soul of the men that started the great celestial war in 300 celestial years ago which nearly caused the universe’s destruction but the world barely survived and a new kind of creation that is earth appeared alongside mankind>>.

I was surprised because I know about the great celestial war but I haven’t known who the one that triggered the destructive war, he ordered me to go straight to their holy city because he thinks this is where most of the enemy forces.

Alexander Morningstar POV

Lucifer teleported back to our army and told me :<< go for their holy city because that’s where the fun is>>. I understood what he meant and I sent scouts to search for their holy city, they returned saying that the city of Nusantra city is their holy city so I decided to send the army toward their city, I summoned 12 fiends from my summoning scroll and told them to erase any enemy soldiers that is hiding and waiting to ambush us, the fiends bowed their heads and teleported to search for possible hideouts of enemy troops, after five hours the fiends returned and reported that they killed allied troops hiding in the mountains of Asha Rabat, finally after a long exhausting march we reached our destination, I saw a lot of enemy troops on top of the walls. I immediately ordered to fire at the enemy troops, our artillery began bombarding enemy walls with powerful spells, the shield shattered and the wall broke, I ordered the entire troops to swarm the enemy troops, a fierce clash started, I kept killing enemy soldiers with my swords, one by one fell after I struck them with my sword but what I saw surprised me, literally the entire population were fighting against us, even though we killed a lot of enemy troops we kept having huge difficulties taking the city, I screamed: << USE POISON MAGIC EVERYWHERE!>> the poison began spreading massacring the entire troops of the city, I ordered 1 thousand soldier to start killing every citizen but None of them returned alive and heads were dropped by the enemy population.

“I have to think about a way how to defeat the citizens, send 1 million angel soldiers to search and burn the city”. The troops followed my order and I followed them to see what happened to the 1 thousand troops, a sudden attack came out of nowhere, I ordered to use shields but it was too late because I realized that we were encircled so I decided to immediately run away from the eastern part of the city, I sent a message to the dragon army to start bombarding the entire city, the city burned after massive fire, I decided to go and search for enemy troops, while I was searching I saw thousands of corpses burned by the fire, I was disgusted at the scene but I realized it was necessary for world peace, I saw a fire ball coming out of nowhere and a lot of bodies start to rise, I panicked at the scene so I ordered to immediately attack them but the troops panicked and the enemy kept slaughtering our troops. “I will do it myself”. I run toward the enemy troops dodging their ferocious attacks until I reached them, I was injured by a musket shot because I let my guard down but what I saw made me decide that the city is impossible to take, 7 million men began to wake up despite being heavily injured, the scene made the dragon soldiers try to attack them but the enemy soldiers killed 2 million dragon soldiers, the dragons fled and I saw more soldiers rising up from bunkers, I said to Lucifer: << this will be a disastrous battle, order the entire army to launch a massive offense against the enemy>>. The army launched a massive offense, the enemy charged at us, I ordered the holy archers angels to start shooting their light arrows, one by one they begun to fall, I ordered the archers to fall back and ordered the mage corps to advance and fire their spells at the enemy, the soldiers charging at us were avoiding attacks and tried to outflank us but I sent the devils to counter them, the devils defeated them saving our flanks from disaster, a messenger came from the empire stating that Raphael have captured 2 cities and Is advancing toward Nusantra, I felt relieved and I ordered my army to stay and fight until reinforcements arrive, as the ferocious fight continued, reinforcements from Raphael the archangel arrived with 500 thousand troops and attacked the enemy troops , seeing that they fell into encirclement Gotzish and frosgorian troops began dropping their weapons and fled the battlefield and I decided to raise the entire city of the ground, Raphael told me that the emperor ordered the civilians to be massacred so that no rebellion will start in this city especially, I asked: << what is the point of massacring all the population if we massacre 50% of the population including killing them in front of their loved ones and then destroy their homes moreover expel them all to deliver a message to their emperor to surrender and dissolve his alliance with the frosgorians>>. Raphael agreed and we started killing half of the city’s population and deported the other half to tell the emperor that his holy city fell.

Gotzland Empire

Aurelius POV

The garrison of the capital reported that a lot of people were at the gates of our capital, I immediately ordered the army to open the door for them and a woman cried and said :<< they killed my daughter and my son in front of me, they tortured my husband to death and I’m the only survivor>>. I saw a man kneeling before me crying: << those bastards killed my wife after torturing her, the devils raped and pillaged the cities and the angel troops were no different than them as they protected the devils, their emperor is totally a madman>>.

God POV

I kept watching the war, I was shocked at the atrocities and terrible actions committed: << if Robert truly desires peace this isn’t the way, I mean people are utterly suffering, this war must stop, and also I’m impressed that the people of the celestial empire are totally safe and protected but this war needs to stop>>. I called Ariel and Cressida and I agreed to go to Robert to convince him to stop the war but I was interrupted with the news of a peace agreement signed between the alliance of Gotzland and frosgore after their population begged for peace and Robert’s empire, I felt relieved but that made me question Robert’s motives and I felt scared because for the first time I can not read his mind.

Robert POV

Jane asked about the purpose of the peace and I told her that we got the holy city of Nusantra: << so there is no point of this war because that city holds a great holy power that if it is in our hands we will use it properly>>. She knew that there is a secret goal behind the peace but I didn’t ask, I returned to the throne room.

“ this will prove disastrous for us if we don’t control every holy city, if I’ am correct the predicted invasion of Arkhansa species will be Nasty and of course my goal for the new world order have taken a little step back when it comes to making it real”.
