Chapter 98 - CARVE A NEW STORY II (1/2)
THE PLAINS REGION
The whispers of the wind can be heard clearly in the plains, with the wind blowing the tall grass.
The wind on the pains was not harsh like the ice region or bringing insufferable heat like the wind in the desert region.
The wind in the plains is soothing brining the smell of the grass and could cool the body after a day of hunting.
In the middle of the plains, there was about a hundred tent was being pitched. Horses fill the area of the tent with some of the men in that are bringing their horse to rides across the plains.
The tent was simple and rudimentary showing that whoever is the leader of this caravan did not want to stay long here.
Fire pit is everywhere around the tent as the evening is approaching.
Some of the men in that area were practicing swordsmanship, swinging their swords with swords essence flying in the skies
Sometimes laughs could be heard among the soldiers as they joked among each other. In a place near the soldier's tent, is a ring for people to wrestle.
Some of the soldiers in this group come from Mongolia and some of them are versed in Mongolian wrestling, Bokh.
Some practice their spearmanship, their stabbing motion creates winds and sounds akin like of the wind ripped apart by a powerful force.
Other practices their fighting in horseback.
Looking at their actions and behavior they seem like an army with experience and experience grueling experience.
In the middle of the area was a large tent that could support ten people.
Outside the tent were a few guards. Patrolling the tent making sure no danger will come to that tent.
As they were patrolling suddenly a person came out from the tent.
The man was blonde, blue eyes, lanky and wears a weird kind of robe that reminds them of a magician.
'Lord Loki' one of the patrol men was about to accompany Loki when Loki waves his hand to gesture to the patrolmen not to follow him.
Then another man comes out from the tent.
The man was bulky. His face has strong features and he has a beard. His armour was the War God Gold Chain Armour emitting a powerful energy.
His boots was the Cloud Walking Boots.
And at his head was the Phoenix Feather Cap. Inside his ear was the Ruyi Jingu Bang shrinked so that it could be stores there.
'General Wang!' The patrolmen also come closer to accompany him but like Loki he waves his hand and said.
'Return to your post.' They nodded and return to their post. They all speculated something inside the tent.
There is only two large tents in this area. One of them belongs to General Wang and Loki. The other belongs to Lady Sofia and Lady Sina.
Wang Jian looks at the back of Loki lonely back.
Then he flies using his boot to join Loki. Loki was sitting on large stone nearby a stream. His feet touch the water as the small fish's plays around his feet.
Loki was depressed after hearing what has transpired these past few weeks.
'Tch' he snorted. History is changing too much.
Too much and too fast for him to react.
But then he was reminded something of what the Prince once said to him about time paradox.
All of this has happen before, all of this will happen again.
It was the Prince favorite quote from a TV show that he liked to describe Time paradox.
It might happen faster than it supposed to be but something always stays the same. The time might change but the events remains the same.
Loki after the White Explosion happens was in a daze and confusion, anxiety and nervousness.
Feelings rushed over him like a surging tide.
The white explosion did happen…..but not this fast. It only happens after the Yrinia Event.
And the only reason it would happens if there was something or someone endanger the World Orb.
This is its preservation mode
To be honest, Loki doesn't know that much about the World Orb. The only one he knows that knows a lot about the World Orb is the Prince and he's not here.
Loki has prepared very well for the eventual return of the Prince. He has prepared a Civilization Seed for when the Prince would return.
It's the reason why he sweeps the World Government vault clean. It's the reason why he grabs all the gold of Yue and Wei.
To buy a Civilization Seed. Actually, the gold was for the preparation after he got the Civilization Seed.
In the future where he came from, the Prince was alone most of the time.
He never establishes any city.
But Sofia in the future stress that he needs to. The only reason that Azief did not become a Sovereign faster was because of his lack of resources.
But the Prince in the future overcomes that lack of resources by becoming robbers and thieves.
Considering that at the time World Government and Revolutionary Army desires to monopolize all the good hunt sites and resources, Azief was backed into a corner.
When he has enough money, he become something of a concierge of crime where he makes people disappears from the clutches of those two organization and brokers jobs for thieves, assassin and criminal organization.
At the height of the World Government power and Revolutionary Army influence the Prince had many clients all of which is notorious criminal and psychopath.
It's not very noble of him, and he has to do things against his conscience but he did what he had to do to become strong.
The Prince is many things. Brave. Fearless. Powerful. But kind isn't one of them.
When Azief first become the Sovereign, being able to split the seas and render the heaven apart, he sent his Wraith to capture all those people he used to help.
And he refined their soul to become Dark Knight that guarded the outer entrance of the Underworld.
Some he tortures in his Hells. But that is the Prince of his future. Sofia…doesn't want him to become like that.
Not if they have the chance this time. From what Loki can tell about the Prince, he seems to be regretting it too, later in his life.
So, he bought the Civilization Seed a long time ago.
He also chooses a perfect place to create city and recruited an army for Azief. The White Tiger army is one of the elite's cavalry army of Yue and now it belongs to Azief group.
All seems to be well and accounted for.
But then the white explosion happens and all of his plans went down the drain. No one could understand what he is feeling right now.
He was flustered in the few days after the explosion but after that he began reconnaissance with Wang Jian as their scouts.
Since he could fly he could went around the regions. But that takes days for Wang Jian to flies around the region since this continent is absurdly huge.
Fortunately, Loki also has other ways of knowing things. So for a few days, he gathers information with his own way and then he discovers something
It was then that he knew something is terribly wrong.
In the future, Raymond becomes the King of United States. He conquered all the states and become the undisputed ruler of America.
It was that foundation that carves his name in history. The same applies to the other.
Like Jean the Emperor of France or the Tiger of Kai and Dragon of Echigo which was the two undisputed ruler of Japan and even manages to usurp power from the Shogunate and the Imperial Authority.
Then there is Katarina and Boris which created the new Russian Empire. But, this time everything is turned into chaos.
Now countries don't exist anymore.
Only factions lead by people strong enough to claim the land.
From what he has learned Athena of Athens was seen battling Freya the War Goddess of Norway in the Fire Region on the Mountains of Flame.
They tied against each other and form an alliance to go to the Ice Region where the Oracle is residing now.
The only reason they become leader was because of the death of their leaders.
Rollo and Odin died fighting a Flame Dragon that was startled when Odin and Rollo group was transported there.
In the Ice Region, Bradheim was executed by Katarina because of offending her a year ago.
David the Iron Lord was killed by Boris as David tries to instigate the divide of the Revolutionary Army.
League of Freedom began baring its fang as the leader Narleod was able to create a city in the Forest region.
He has also been recruiting new members.
Fire Arrow Frieda, Warp the Teleportation Master and Water Princess Erin has joined him. This is the same lineup of the League of Freedom in the future only this time, Narleod recruited them faster.
'Hah' he sighed as he looked at the setting sun.
Then footsteps could be heard approaching him from behind. The footsteps come near him and stopped.
