2022-06-23 18:12:00In a restaurant within a private room, sat Shasha, Kai and some guests, Shasha had intended to enjoy the string of victories that his fighters had brought for him, which resulted in him, effectively securing the financial success of his home. However he had received some unexpected guests.
At first, when he heard the announcement about certain individuals who had just arrived, he thought those were either Edwin or Maxwell. So he intended to run away, but when the servant who was catering for him told him who had arrived, Shasha's face became extremely ugly, and Kai followed suit.
The room was quite an expensive one. It was very spacious and had a large table that could seat twenty people. Shasha, who had lived as a miser, according to his standards, wanted to splurge and enjoy himself. Yet he never expected that the room he had booked would actually be full, and that the table would have no free seat available.
Shasha was usually not good at handling such situations, so Kai spoke in his stead. "Guy, why now? Why has the Crown Prince chosen this moment to act? Wasn't the plan to only act after a few more years?"
Kai's words were directed at a handsome young man who was sitting at the end of the rectangular table opposite Shasha. He had blonde hair with crystal clear blue eyes, eyes that emanated intelligence. There was no doubt that he was a conqueror of hearts. Kai also knew that he was a conqueror of minds as well, and a lot more...
"I have no idea why the Crown Prince has chosen to act. Actually why he has chosen to act now is irrelevant. What matters is that we do act. Our orders are to take this city and its surrounding cities within five years. We also have to make do with the soldiers we have." said Guy as he ate the delicious meal in front of him. His words carried great weight, yet he spoke as if he was merely describing the weather. That incredible composure was one of the reasons why Guy had become a general at such a young age.
"How many soldiers do we have?" questioned Kai with narrow eyes.
"What you see is what you get."
Kai immediately slammed the table, causing all four of its legs to break. "Preposterous! Do you know what it takes to conquer a C rank city? Let alone a Peak C rank city? And you expect the young master to do it with a handful of inexperienced soldiers? Are you mad?!"
Guy was disappointed and sighed. "When I was growing up Sir Kai, I was always taught not to waste food, and not to be rude during a meal. I was also taught not to chew bones, and to leave something for the dogs. We owe it to those starving all over The Sovereign Continent to finish this meal."
Kai was about to shout, when Shasha raised his hand to silence Kai. "Guy Schmidt, that is your name correct?"
"Yes your highness that is indeed my name."
"I have heard great things about you."
"I wish I could say the same your highness."
Kai was fuming with rage, but he knew Shasha well enough that that moment was not the time for him to speak. Shasha was an odd character. He was quite the fool when he was in leisure. He couldn't cultivate, he wasn't much of a scholar but he did have one oddity in his personality. Only a few people knew about it and from the way Guy was acting, it was clear he did not either.
Shasha merely chuckled a bit and bent over to pick up a piece of meat from the floor, and began to chew it. "You know what Guy Schmidt? I agree with you, it's rude to waste food but I also believe that it is rude to beat up other people's servants and not apologize."
A light flashed in Guy's eyes as he came to a sudden realization.
So the Crown Prince was right, Prince Shasha is quite capable in such situations. This is interesting.
"My apologies you rhighness, I had to test their skills, it's our country's tradition to haze new recruits. They are quite infamous but I assure you, my troops know when to hold back."
Shasha shook his head and removed all the meat on his drumstick and chewed voraciously. "Guy Schmidt, you seem to have misunderstood me."
Suddenly the door burst open, and Kenshin along with Bastian walked into the room dragging unconscious bodies behind them. The room became extremely silent at this sight, such that even an ant's footsteps could be heard.
"Crack!"
Everyone heard aloud cracking noise and looked towards the source, only to see Shasha holding half a bone in his hand while chewing at the same time. He swallowed what was in his mouth and threw the remaining half to Guy "I hope that's enough for you. After all, I have to look after my brother's dog."
Shasha quietly stood up and walked toward the door. He signaled for Kenshin and Bastian to drop the bodies, which they did. Just before he left the room, he rolled his eyes and looked back, as if he had forgotten something.
"Oh and my apologies, I had to test their skills. Just so you know, they failed, dismally."
...
As soon as Shasha and his crew had left, Guy started giggling. Slowly, his giggle turned into laughter and he started rolling on the floor laughing. One of his men couldn't take it anymore and said, "General, why do you find this funny? We have been given an impossible mission and have to follow the orders of a cripple. What part of this is funny?"
Guy stopped his laughter and laid on the floor staring at the roof. Although there was nothing, he looked like he was gazing far off into the distance "Firstly let me correct you Captain. This isn't an impossible mission, it's a test. This time we are not merely following the orders of a cripple, we are also following the orders of one of the strongest cultivators on the continent. As for the reason I am laughing, that is not something someone of your stature can understand."
Guy stretched out his hand and gripped nothingness. His cultivation base roared with excitement and his face showed a savage grin.
Finally! I have the chance to fight alongside him! Everything is going according to plan!
Guy flipped his body up and headed for the exit. "Someone please pay for the damages. Gentlemen open your eyes pay attention to this moment. For this will be the first true city conquered by him! We will follow him till we die!"
"Yes sir!"
The soldiers were baffled but still complied. They were not aware that Guy looked up to Shasha so much. Yet they knew their leader well and they trusted him. All the men that were with him could follow him to the jaws of death if need be.
Yet none of the men in the room knew what Guy was thinking. If they did, they would no doubt cough blood.
We will follow Sebastian Tirius. We will follow the King of Titans!

Shasha, Bastian, Kai and Kenshin walked back to Shasha's abode in silence. Bastian had received word telepathically from Kenshin that they had no need to hide from their pursuers for now. Shasha was in a bad mood which made the air heavy.Bastian had never seen the silly and childish Shasha look so serious. It did not feel natural, especially considering the fact that Bastian was a master at reading expressions. To him this sudden shift in character was too drastic.It seems I didn't know as much about Shasha as I thought I did. But still, the change shouldn't be this bad.Along the way they met with a few hindrances, but a look from Kai would scare them away. They arrived at Shasha's house only to be stopped by the door by Kai. Kai whispered something into Shasha's ears. Bastian did not know what Kai told Shasha and he couldn't hear a single thing that Kai had said. All he could tell was that Shasha's face was now far graver than before."Kenshin and Bas

When Bastian heard Tino's voice through Kenshin's link, he felt like he had been struck by lightning. Kenshin could feel a slight disturbance from Bastian's side, but now was not the time to split focus on such a thing, for the spell he was using used up much of his mindIt's her! What the heck is she doing here? And judging from the conversation she is familiar with Shasha and Kai.Bastian listened to the conversation attentively while coming up with a plan.Hhmm, I see. She was sent by Shasha's brother, and judging from what we have seen and heard from today, Shasha is the prince of a country that is powerful. Interesting, he did well to hide this.Then another phrase surprised Bastian. "Is there anywhere in this world that can hide us from him? Kai you and I both know that this world will soon fall into our father's hands. There will be nowhere for us to hide. We have no choice but to do this. You know far more than me the consequences of not following

When Bastian had gotten all the information he could get out of Li, he left the space, only to see Kenshin standing in front of the door like a statue, paying Bastian no mind whatsoever."Kenshin, do you have a way to prevent sound from leaking from a room, to the point where even you can't hear anything?" said Bastian telepathically to Kenshin. Kenshin nodded. "Do you trust me?" Once more Kenshin nodded to Bastian's telepathic message after showing a slight message. Sighing in relief, Bastian told Kenshin what he needed to do, and to former's surprise Kenshin agreed....."Knowledge, what kind of knowledge do you want?" Shasha was in a bind, so he was willing to grab any opportunity to help him, even if it came from a slave, right now he wasn't even thinking of credibility, much less the fact that Bastian had heard his conversation with Tino.At this point Bastian looked at Kenshin and nodded. In response, Kenshin formed some seals, and a formless energy
Titans Throne Trust
"Young master I hope we have made the right decision.""Of course we have, or rather to be honest; we had no choice in this issue."Kai and Shasha were sitting in the office discussing the events from the day before. Kenshin and Bastian had not arrived yet, so the duo were just having some small talk, which followed along the usual formula of Shasha sounding confident and Kai being overly cautious."Good morning gentlemen." Bastian entered the room with Kenshin in tow. Kenshin immediately performed the necessary procedures to make the room sound proof and sat next to Bastian in front of Shasha's desk."So young master, have you prepared what I asked for." asked Bastian."Ah yes, of course, Kai please bring them out." replied ShashaWith a wave of his hand, a bunch of documents appeared on the table. Maps, diagrams and scrolls of all sorts were covering the whole desk. Those were details concerning Yani City, from the population, to detailed
Titans Throne Information
At that moment, in his mind, Bastian was facing a dilemma. He was not sure just how much Tino could be trusted, nor was he sure enough that she would be able to execute the plans he had in mind. At times like those however, there was only one option, move forward and hope for the best. Well as far as Bastian was concerned anyway.Bastian signaled for Kenshin to take down the barrier he had put up and nodded toward Shasha. "Tino, come here immediately, I have a mission for you."It wasn't even ten breathes when Tino suddenly arrived within the room. To her surprise, Bastian and Kenshin were in the room as well.That's odd, how did they enter here without me noticing?After looking at Kenshin for less than a fraction of a second, Tino's eyes flashed with awareness."I am here your highness, what can I do to serve you?" said Tino, with her typical seductive tone. Shasha was usually affected by it, but at that time, in such a situation, he knew he coul
Titans Throne My Enemies Are Your Enemies
No one in the office had expected things to get this far out of hand. Shasha sighed in resignation while the usually calm Kenshin even raised a brow due to the surprise he was feeling. Never would he have expected such a thing to occur."Bitch, do you doubt me when I say that the next time a hand touches you within this office will be the day your pointless life ends?" said Bastian with a devilish smile. Tino barely had any time to process what had happened when Bastian's words assailed her ears. She could barely believe what had happened.As expected of him, I barely saw him coming. He has been hiding his true strength this whole time. He clearly planned this ahead of time. I have to tread carefully in his presence from now on."No, I do not doubt your words." Tino's looked toward Bastian, and her eyes clearly showed that she saw him in a new light."Good, now leave the office. You have your mission." Bastian waved his hand as if an annoying fly was in h
Titans Throne I Am His Backing
As soon as Bastian disappeared from the space, another form appeared in his place. Normally that would not be possible, as the space was only accessible by an investor, avatar or mark bearer. Surprisingly, Li being the witty man he was had found a backdoor to that rule, and his backdoor was the use of Soul Brethren."Hello Kenshin or should I say Taiga, well that doesn't matter. Anyway I have given you plenty of time to think it over, so you should already have an answer. So, young man what will it be?"In front of Li stood Kenshin, his lifeless pupils giving out a tinge of hostile intent, Li had gotten used to being despised throughout his life, but something about being disliked by the man before him gave him goose bumps."Minister Li, what you are asking me to do is not only dishonorable, it is vile. Bastian is my brother, though not by choice. He is still family to me none the less." said Kenshin as he crossed his arms."Now, now Kenshin, we have been
Titans Throne Changes

One would never think that Bastian had accomplished such a feat in only two strikes.The crowd went into an uproar when they saw that, shouts of 'Tempest Monk!' where being uttered all across the arena. There was no need for the referee to even say anything, because everyone knew that Bastian had advanced to the next stage.Following his usual routine, Bastian left the arena.

The streets of Yani City were abandoned for the city was under siege. The usual hustle and bustle of the markets, the shouting and cursing from the arena and the footsteps of civilians were now like ghosts of memories past. No one would have accepted that this was a previously active peak C-class city. Repeated attacks from previous years had taught them many a painful lesson, especially when it came to evacuation procedures. The entire city had been safely evacuated to a large underground bunker by the Dwight family members.As the de facto leaders of the city, they had the ability to mobilise all city resources under them. The troops provided by the Yorks made sure the civilians followed the orders and kept the peace while the Cole provided provisions. The large bunker was under the stewardship of the Oxlade family.At an intersection, in one of the richest districts in the city, an area considered just outside the Dwight family compound, stood a relaxed Guy, looking at the sky.

Stay Frosty
Let's rewind time a bit to understand what was happening. All the bigshots of the Cole family and Shasha family had gathered together. Bastian had put together a plan, and they were getting told what to do."First is the southern wall. This will be the only defensive battle on our hands, so it makes sense to have most of our soldiers there. Vermaelen will take most of General Moto's soldiers and hold the wall for us. This job is probably the most simple yet most pivotal.The aquatic daemons will have to climb over the wall to have any chance, so all Vermaelen has to do is keep them away from the wall. If that's hard, then take care of them if they climb it."Vermalaen grunted in response. General Moto was uncomfortable handing her his troops, but he trusted Bastian so he nodded, giving his blessing."Both Sula and General Moto, select and take the most elite soldiers from both armies and make a second group. This group shall move in tandem with Tino

A Plot Is Afoot
Every ten or so years Yani City would accept a new batch of mercenaries within their city. The unsuspecting mercenaries usually came from far away lands, so they had no clue regarding the tragedies that would befall them from the horde. On the Sovereign Continent, wars were as numerous as the stars in the night sky.Plenty of cities and countries would rely on mercenaries to deal with the problems that plagued the, with Yani city being no exception. The difference between the weak and strong however became apparent at this point, with the strong cites having strong home grown armies.Onismo York stood above a pile of daemon corpses.These were some of the birds that had made it over the wall.

Kitrid started breaking into a cold sweat, because Meera's point was quite valid. Best way to deal with a horde this size is to deal with the alpha. The problem was that in this case the alpha might be too strong for them to handle, so Kitrid was not sure how they were going to go about it."What is taking Tyson so long? The support he promised should be here by now" Kitrid was fighting on the east wall facing the south east direction from which the horde was coming from. Due to the fact that his troops faced the full brunt of the horde, the elder council had promised support. Tyson Cole represented the elders by giving his word that he would send reinforcement if they were in dire straits.At the moment they had lost thousands of men. Thousands more were injured and even more were to fall in battle if this were to continue. The birds in the sky and the beasts on the ground formed a perfect combination minimizing all the advantages Kitrid and his troops had.

Bastian sat in the Cole family garden. It was a charming botanical wonder full of flowers Bastian had never seen before and well trimmed trees and hedges in neat little rows. Soon the plan would be put into action, and Bastian's mind had been racing. Several gardeners were tending to the maize of stunning flora. His clothes were fine and comfortable, provided by Tyson Cole while Bastian had been living under his house to prepare for the ensuing battle that was to come. His hair was growing again, in fact he found it grew quite quickly, but Bastian had become accustomed to keeping it short.He had been taking walks in Tyson Cole's garden more frequently in the past few days, choosing to seclude himself in meditative isolation as much as he possibly could, and he knew why. Since the deafening roar – no, that was too recent – since he had woken up in a foreign body in this foreign land and trapped with this foreign soul inside him that claimed to have become a

She regained her footing and prepared to fire again. The thunderbird was busy snapping at something. She realised it was one of her men that the alpha thunderbird must have snatched as it swept over the wall.A few more chomps and it swallowed, leaving a dismembered leg to fall limp to the ground. Meera conjured another bow and began firing arrow-lances like crazy. With amazing agility it dodged them all and returned for another bite.it was clear the alpha was faster and stronger than normal thunderbirds, but Meera kept firing. As it swept over the wall again it snatched up another soldier with its tremendous jaws and took another one in its talons. The soldier trapped in its talons was still alive and was struggling to get free. The alpha thunderbird simply squeezed and there was a crunching noise. The soldier stopped struggling. The talons released him and he fell limp all the way to the hard ground.The alpha thunderbird made another hundred and eighty degree

He was one of Kit's commanders and had been charged to hold the eastern wall. Now as the behemoths came closer he found that all the thoughts that had plagued him earlier. All the uncertainty seemed to fade away. Now his mind was clear, except for one thought. It was of her. He imagined her waiting for him in the city after the battle, and held on tight to the memory. They were getting closer now. Large, herbivorous behemoths with three large horns arranged in a triangle; two on its head and one on at the tip of its snout. They shook the earth as they knocked down anything in their way. If they got through then the city would definitely fall.Suddenly something heavy came down on him. He hadn't expected it. It knocked his horse over, throwing him to the ground. it was the corpse of a thunderbird that had been slain in mid-air. As he fell he spun around and kicked the thunderbird into the path of an oncoming behemoth. The lumbering beast tripped on the corpse, resulting in a d

Yani city itself was situated on a large desert island. the island itself was about the size of a small country. The daemon horde usually came from the far south east region of the island where there was a vast jungle that had not yet been consumed by the desert. While the inhabitants of the city could leave whenever they wanted, the island happened to be rich in one thing: minerals, and lots of them. This is what had drawn humans to the island and forced them to stay. Now the city was thriving and it was too late to turn back.As Kit scanned the horizon all he could see was sand and trees until the point where the sky touched the ground. But there was no doubt about it, the horde was coming. He turned around on Valo, to face his men."Listen." He said, calmly. His voice was loud and clear, and as the archers on top of the walls were all cultivators he knew he didn't have to speak very loud for them to hear him.

Kit took a deep breath. His heart was racing, but his mind was surprisingly clear. Maybe he just couldn't hear himself think against the blaring noise of the sirens of Yani city warning them all of what was coming, a constant reminder of the impending doom in Kit's ears.His uniform was new, or it may have been Kit had never seen actual battle, which did little to inspire his men's faith in him. He led a band of mercenaries that had been hired by the elders of the city about ten years earlier for this very purpose. It was less a band and more like a small army and for ten years they had known the horde was coming. They had talked about this day, trained for it, and waited for it for ten years. Now the day had arrived and the city expected to get its money's worth.It was obvious that the past ten years had been all talk for most of the mercenaries belonging to the avenging shield mercenary group. They wore light black leather uniform. Kit, their commander,
