399 World War Part Two (1/2)

”Blake, should we go take a peek?” Alicia asked.

”No. We will not leave here until the baby is born. Alicia, I know how much you want to know how the war is going but you have to remember that right now it's not only your life at risk anymore. The safest place for you right now is this space.” Blake shook his head and answered in a gentle voice. Alicia pouted but did not try to push the subject anymore.

”We are now three months into this war and we seem to be at a stalemate.” Tang Ming looked at the war map on the table and sighed.

”Wouldn't it be easier if I just wiped them all out?” Tang An frowned and asked.

”An, we can't do that. Although it would make things easier, right now we need to reduce the numbers of the enemy as much as possible. They keep tossing more of their men to their deaths. But they have not been able to budge from the area they had taken since the start of the war. If they try to push ahead the new weapons we received from the research teams will lay waste to them. We are holding the line according to Akari's plan she drafted before finding out she was pregnant.” Tang Ming explained.

”Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. How are things on the other continent?” They have been in constant contact with Master Sei and Old Don. So news was always coming in with status reports.

”Master Sei's last report said that they are in the same situation. It seems the people of the Holy Land who started this war did not expect such a large resistance. Right now they are trying to fight on two fronts so their forces are spread thin. With us slowly killing off their soldiers on both fronts with our new weapons, we are actually winning since our side has minimal losses. To be honest I am amazed at how Akari came up with such a set plan without knowing so much about the enemy.” Tang Ming smiled as he praised Alicia.

”That girl has always come up with good plans. When she went through her squire test she passed the hardest test possible that no one had ever passed before. On top of that, she slowly progressed in her way of thinking as a leader. Although sometimes her actions were a little rushed but as time goes on her ability to lead is really starting to shine. This is why she is my Crown Princess. ” King Augustus said as he took a sip of tea.

”To think her skills would have gone to waste if she stayed on Earth. If she was able to stay living as a regular human she would have lived a life that would have hidden all her talents.” Tang An sighed. She was somewhat happy she made the decision she did at that time.

”What's wrong?” King Augustus asked.
