the Great Sahara is a big land filled with desert all over it, it is very hot all year round, but with the advancement of technology its people were able to build a kingdom with many developed cities within it, they could even rival the Samar kingdom's technology. they have one king ruling over them that has five sons and two daughters, they are the five princes and two princesses. the king is very benevolent and generous to his people and didn't love war but one day he suddenly fell ill, the only people present when he was dying were his two daughters and two sons while the others didn't bother to show up.

while he was dying he wanted to give his will to his children as to who will be the next king but unfortunately he died aprubtly before doing so, they all knew what this meant and they all felt the storm that were to come except the fourth princess lily, she was naive and innocent and was the only one who didn't have any ideas for the throne, she had the most beautiful and long blonde hair, with oceanic blue eyes and a fair complexion. while the second princess Elizabith was a very strong princess who didn't want to let any of her brothers get the throne as she was very ambitious and didn't like being underestimated just for being a woman, she also was beautiful with white hair and deep oceanic eyes resembling he sister's.

realizing the situation she was the first to excuse herself while grabbing her sister's hands and going out. as soon as she got out she told her sister to go into hiding and that she planned for everything just in case this situation occurs, she told her everything. her naive sister questioned her as she said "do you really have to fight? I believe in my brothers they won't hurt me why are you saying this!" while looking concerned, although her sister wanted to convince her time wasn't on her side so she knocked her out and asked Gabriel her most trusted guardian to take her to the place she prepared outside of this chaos that will happen and guard her and ensure that she doesn't run away.

meanwhile, the two princes inside were staring daggers at each other as if knowing that from this moment on it is kill or be killed. the crown prince George was a tall, muscular and strong person, he was blonde with dark brown eyes and was very good looking. his body was macho and buff. while the other prince who was the youngest, he was the seventh prince Marcus a tall, skinny man had deep blue eyes with white hair, he was very handsome and charming and was very smart and cunning, he would do anything to ensure that he would win, he was a person that would stop at nothing to get what he wants.

as they were staring at each other the seventh prince laughed and looked at the crown prince mockingly from top to bottom and left without a single word. the crown prince sighed in relied as he knew how cunning his brother was and he always unsettled him. as the only one holding them down from unleashing chaos on the lands had just died the games had begun.

after leaving the seventh prince went to his castle and while on his way he saw the fifth prince one of his older brothers harassing one of his female guards, he felt irritated and took his gun out and shoot him from behind. the female guard bowed down in thanks as he nodded at her and said "don't worry as long as I'm alive no one will dare touch my people and it doesn't matter whether he is my brother or my enemy nobody who crosses me shall live!". soon after returning to his mansion another one of his brother's came to attack his castle with his faction.

upon getting the news of his brother's action's a frown appeared on his face as he said "why are my brothers so eager to die at my hands can't they just wait for their time like good little boy!" while he wore his armor and brought his formidable army consisting of 3,000 armed men outside to meet his brother's forces who only consisted of a mere 300 novice warriors. he was an arrogant prince who always underestimated others and overestimated himself, upon seeing his little brother's army he felt fear at the sheer number of his forces he never in his wildest dreams thought his brother was hiding this much forces, little did he know that this was only a fraction of his army that was in his castle.

looking at his terrified brother and his hesitant soldiers he laughed as he said "did you seriously think they were enough to take me down... hahaha o'foolish older brother aren't you underestimating me too much? tell you what I'll only deploy 300 soldiers to fight against yours, we will only use swords seeing as how even your artillery is lacking should you win I will let you behead me and my castle along with my forces shall be yours but should you fail I shall spare none of you and you will hand over all your money and possessions over to me". his terrified older brother thought deeply about his proposal and thought if it weren't for the weapons and their number he has nothing to be afraid of instead he would gain more should he win so he agreed. his brother brought a document that should he lose he would hand over his possessions and should he win he would get all his brother's forces including his castle.

though he cleverly omitted the amount of forces needed while his brother was thinking greedily as his arrogance clouded his judgement, and so they both sent their forces to engage in battle only for the older brother who was the third prince to lose miserably in front of the seasoned warriors of his younger brother Marcus, and with his death all of the forces of his older brother that weren't present submitted to Marcus expanding his wealth, army and influence.

meanwhile, the sixth prince who was a coward fled from this country upon hearing his father's demise heading to the Azof Kingdom away from conflict and harm's way.

"and that brings us to today three years after those events transpired, the king of Samar wanted to use this opportunity to invade one of their lands and make it our own and see if we can make a deal with one of their factions while we are at it but that has nothing to do with us we are only hired by the kingdom to assist them and their soldiers and add numbers to their army, we have been promised great compensation guys so all of you do your best in this war and don't die on me out there" Khalid said to his subordinates as he debriefed them about the situation he also added that the war between the royals was cold as they were attacking and retreating due to their similar number of forces and supplies so the kingdom intervening will break this stale state and would get the war going.

one of them asked "what is our mission upon getting there?" Khalid looked at him and said "good question, our mission would be to first infiltrate the border with the help of an insider and disguise ourselves as as one of their forces and get as much information as we can, after doing that we are to assassinate the city lord and send a signal so they can attack the city to seize it as their own, after the assassination we are to join the soldiers and kill as many combatants as we can, is that clear?" he said in a serious and commanding tone they all replied unanimously "sir yes, sir".

and with that they boarded the airplane and took off heading to a village near their enemy's borders, it was an unaffiliated village that belonged to neither kingdoms and was lawless, they entered it disguised as villagers and went to a restaurant that was the meeting point with the inside man, upon meeting him he was also disguised like them and wearing concealing cape he was an average looking man with dark brown eyes and a tan complexion.

prior to meeting them he went out with two guards who were unknown and had no family or friends and disposed of them before stealing their armor to give to two people from the mercenary. Khalid decided that he would go with Mohamed to get him more familiar with this line of work, upon receiving the uniform they went back with the insider to enter the city. it went without any problems. after entering the spy told them that the identity of these two were guards who would stand guard in front of the gates they weren't known since they were new and they had no friends or family, so use their identities to get the rest of your group in, then they were told about the chain of command and who held authority and who to avoid.

they acted as guards guarding the city which made it easier for the rest of their group to get in. after all of them got in they all went into various places, from guards businessmen, beggars, to normal civilians and started to make connections and gather information everywhere. after almost all of them went in one of them made himself be caught to give false information to the enemy and so they could move up the chain of command since catching an enemy spy would be a huge achievement. it was a risky plan proposed by Sofian but the leader didn't approve until one of the group members offered to do it. hesitant Khalid agreed after an intense argument with Sofian.

Mohamed and Khalid who were the guards were given the credit for catching him and the spy who already was high in command moved them up the ladder with his connections. and with that they continued to gather information on the enemy and give false information about themselves which made them have a monopoly on information.
