2022-06-29 22:00:00Let'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 and Guy. This will be the 'destroyer' group. Their job is to attack the three families while their guards are down. Tino and her sisters can practically move unhindered in this city, so your duty is to provide Guy and general Moto with information while performing assassinations where necessary. Since this will be a covert operation, Guy will be in charge, General, I hope you can acquiesce. Also, General, you will take over the Cole family guards and take care of guarding the compound, it's best to take it safe. Lang will assist you. From my understanding, you are best at defensive battles."
General Moto sighed and nodded his head. Sula did the same as she was uncomfortable with the fact that she had to work with someone she had been trying to kill for a long time, but times were hectic. There was no time for semantics."Kenshin, your duty is to move around all 4 battlefields and coordinate with everyone. Kenshin has a variety of skills that make him quite versatile. Tyson, from my understanding your family has a Foundation Realm Cultivator right?"
Tyson frowned and crossed his arms, "Aye, but he is quite eccentric, and I don't think he will agree to fight the dragon, he only fights when he is guaranteed that he won't die."
"Haha don't worry, he doesn't need to fight. All he has to do is meet the other Fusion Realm experts and keep them company. We can use his presence as a deterrent, to prevent anyone from attacking the Cole family compound. No one will attack us until they are confident that the Fusion Realm Expert will not interfere, and that's only when he is facing the dragon. When the Dragon arrives, all he has to do is turn tail and run. It would be best if he could injure one or two of the other Fusion Realm Experts while he was at it, to make sure the Dragon annihilates them. Once their power has significantly dropped, my master will step up and destroy that lizard."Tyson could no longer bare his curiosity and said, "Just how strong is your master?""Yes I m curious as well," Said Kai with a skeptical look.
Bastian pointed at the duo and said, "If you both reveal your cultivations, I would be more than happy to tell you what my master's cultivation level is." The room instantly became so quiet one could hear a pin drop. Kai awkwardly coughed and stepped behind Shasha, who laughed nervously. Tyson raised his hands defensively and said nothing. The answer was obvious, these two kept their lips shut.Bastian smiled, "I thought so, but don't worry, a two-star aquatic dragon might as well be an ordinary eel to him, so don't worry.
According to my understanding, Tyson has had a mercenary army trained up, just in case something fishy happens. Let's use them. Offer the council the army and say that they will deal with the first few waves. While this happens, Tino, you and your sisters gather surveillance and tell us the best points to attack once the chaos reaches full swing. Kenshin will back that army up to prevent a full wipe out. We will also use this as an opportunity to show off the fact that we are stronger than they thought we are.Let me recap. Team Vermalaen, protect the south wall. Team Guy, attack the enemy headquarters once the Dragon comes and chaos ensues. Team Tino, gather intel and assist Team Guy. Team Moto, guard the compound. My master will appear when the Cole family Fusion Realm experts calls it quits while leaving the other experts in a hopefully precarious position. Kenshin will act as support for those in need. Anyone unassigned can choose which team to join, so make your choices now."
Shasha was sad at the fact that his name had not been called out, but once he heard Bastian's words his eyes lit up." I want to join Vermalaen on the south wall!"
Bastian nodded. Kai wanted to interject, but he kept to himself. So long as he was there no harm would come to Shasha, there was no doubt about that. Shasha couldn't follow Kenshin around, and he had no intention of following either Guy or Tino, who were related to his brother. Bastian wanted to work alone while the Cole family expert…was better left to the Cole Family, leaving only Vermalaen. If he chose General Moto, he would probably be bored to death. Bastian's plan was pretty good, so it was unlikely that the Cole Family would get attacked.
"The other Cole family members shall stay to guard the compound," Said Tyson decisively. Sula wanted to object, but her brother's stern expression told her that he was having none of that. Considering what they were hiding, Bastian was not shocked. Tyson wanted to protect his house and keep his family out of action, an understandable choice."Good. I will head over to my master. He is outside the city so it will take some time to reach him. Tino, you and your sisters have telepathic abilities, allowing you to talk to each other over long distances, hence all the teams should have at least one of her sisters nearby so we can communicate. Time is of the essence guys. The plan will change if unexpected events occur, so stay frosty. Move out!"

Titans Throne Prologue - The Power of a True Sovereign
...The Sovereign Continent, a place with only one language throughout the entire land, a place where only one currency dominated the entire economy, a place where things like; looks, fame, intelligence or any factor that could possibly make someone the focus of other people's admiration, all paled to one thing. That one thing just happens to be both a language and a currency, that one thing is; power.In the face of power, all other things bow in reverence. If one has power, he or she is just. If one has power, then one is beautiful. If one has power, one has both fame and fortune. As long as one has power, everything falls into one's grasp.The source of power in this world stems from one thing, cultivation. This is the art of taking in energy from the environment and making it your own, resulting in wonders such as; magic spells, illusions, battle techniques and other skills. In general, there are two types of cultivators, a Mage and a Warrior
Titans Throne The Face of Death
Chapter 1- The Face of Death...The Sovereign Continent was divided into five major parts or regions, these were:The Eastern Islands, the Northern Glaciers, the Southern Grasslands, the Western Deserts and the Central Jungles. Despite the seemingly self-descriptive names, these lands weren't particularly limited to the descriptions they gave off. For example the forest found in the Western deserts.Each major region was in turn further divided into many sub regions, each of these sub regions could consist of many Kingdoms, very few, or only one. When one Kingdom had the complete control of a land, which was as large as a sub region, it became an Empire.There were even a few Empires that span over multiple regions. These were called True Empires and were ruled by True Emperors. The largest and most famous True Empire, was the Coiling Dragon Empire. It was the only

In a tent in the middle of the camp stood several men, one of which was looking upon a makeshift bed, on which Bastian was sleeping. The man had a rough face and a set of eyes permeating with greed, he studied Bastian's body, as if he was looking at an object, one which could make him a lot of money.The tent was quiet, so quiet in fact that some of the men didn't even dare breathe in too deeply, afraid of gaining the ire of the man standing next to the bed. At this moment a doctor carrying a small box filled with medical equipment walked in. The doctor walked towards the bed and started examining Bastian's body. The rough faced man looked at the proceedings nervously, hoping that things weren't too serious, he eyed the doctor at his work.After the doctor had finished his examination, he said that Bastian was fine and everyone sighed in relief. He told the rough faced man that the boy had just fainte
Titans Throne The Mark Awakens
Now let's rewind a bit, to a few hours ago, to when Bastian had just fainted. To others it would seem as if Bastian had lost consciousness, but to Bastian something else entirely occurred. What seemed like fainting was, in fact a far different and strange phenomenon. Just when he was about to go outside his vision blurred and he found himself in a strange place, his entire surroundings were white, it was as if he was in a giant white room, with no end in sight. After observing his surroundings Bastian noticed something in front of him, it was a large brown table. The table itself was nothing extraordinary...except for the picture of a large coiling dragon on its surface. The dragon was gold and its paws had two claws. Even though it was a two dimensional drawing, Bastian felt something from the picture, a sense of déjà vu to be more exact. He could not remember where exactly he had seen this dragon. That's when it hit him. This dragon looked eerily similar to the one that had destr

Bastian's mind was in chaos. Too many things had happened in such a short period of time. He hadn't had enough time to adjust. First he had reincarnated into another person's body, then he learned that he was in another world, and then he realized he was part of some weird inheritance game. Now to top it all off, he is now being sold as a slaveBastian could not help but mentally sigh at these events. In his past life he was a terminally sick person. He had had time to mentally prepare for death. Fate however played a trick on him, placing him in a situation where he, a man who was even prepared for death, felt miserable.Well when life throws you lemons...Bastian quickly accepted his fate and decided to run with his new identity. Since he already had the memories belonging to the body's original owner, Sebastian Tirius, he would not have a hard time adjusting.<

This kind behavior was not something the proud and clever Ben usually had, but today was a special occasion.Ben finally had the chance to stuff it to a noble, the kind who had enslaved him and made his life miserable. All of his loved ones were tortured or killed by them.He had been saving the incado grass so he could sell it, but he felt that this outcome was definitely more pleasing. Money is money.

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. Onismo had stationed his men just behind the west and north side of the wall just in case the mercenaries were overwhelmed.The man was adorned in armour from head to toe while his right hand held a large battle axe that was far bigger than what his body should be able
Salvation
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.
Inner Demons
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
Casualties
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
Battlefront
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. "Can you hear it?" as the wind faded into the backg
War
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,
