34 Chapter 34 (1/2)

”Hm... The Republic has around ten million soldiers, their weapons are exactly like ours except for the fact that we have Machine guns...” Alexis muttered as he went through the documents Marcus had stolen from the said nation.

His plan was working perfectly, now all he had to do was wait for the Kingdom and the Republic to fight it out so that he can intervene when they are weakened and take over all the nations!

Alexis smiled and stored the important information inside his Spacial ring and left his room...

He then entered his carriage and left his palace, his destination was the training base that he had kept hidden.

-●-●-●-

”Fire!” The instructor shouted as the new recruits fired away their rifles.

At the ends of the rifle barrels floated magic circles which enhanced the bullets that were shot out, some turned bright red, others turned snow white.

It was quite the magical scene, the bullets would go through the magic circles and take them with it, in other words, the lead bullets were covered by a magic circle that wrapped around it due to the high speeds it travelled at...

They struck their targets and exploded in various ways, the bright red bullets exploded in flames, effectively burning the targets into ashes while the white bullets exploded and formed sharp icicles that pierced the targets and destroyed it from within!

The rifles they used were also different, at the end of the barrel, there was a ring of mana stone, this acted as a conductor for magic spells which would then be attached to the bullets.

Once they were all done with their training, they turned to their General who was observing, this General was Sophia.

She nodded in satisfaction and noted down the results of the attacks on a small notebook which she held onto tightly...

Sophia then went back to her office only to find a presence inside as she instinctively held onto the handle of her sabre and walked in.

Alexis sat on her desk and smiled when she came in, Sophia sighed in relief and let go of the handle as Alexis raised an eyebrow.

”What happened to you?” He asked her curiously as she looked away from him with a snort.

”Nothing!” She said and sat down on her chair and rested her back.

”Are you still upset about the kiss?” Alexis teased her with a snicker as she immediately turned red and looked down.

”Alright! Alright! Give the notes then...” He sighed and took the notebook she offered him, Alexis went through the information and closed the book with a bit of force.

'I trust Magnus, but not enough when it comes to mana stone...' He thought to himself, the rifles were truly destructive when the mana stones were added...

'If a Divine mage like me used something like that...' Alexis mused and shivered at the thought of it, he would simply be too strong!

But the simple prospect of rifles spewing waves of intense flames excited him!

He realised that he hadn't informed Magnus of such weaponry and reminded himself to meet him later on, he still had time so it was alright...

”Is there something wrong?” Sophia asked him worriedly since he went silent.

Alexis shook his head and replied, ”No, thank you for the work... it's really good, infact... I'll do something for you, what do you say?” He asked her as Sophia's eyes shined.

It was a bit weird considering her face was emotionless but Alexis shook his head and glanced at her.

”Really?!” She shouted happily and jumped from her seat and hugged his arm, resting it inbetween her ample bosom as Alexis groaned in annoyance.

”I want to try out the thing called date!” She blushed and looked up at him expectantly, Alexis smiled gently at her cuteness and then eyed her figure.

”Sure why not, but change into civilian clothing...” He shrugged and reminded her as she looked shocked and immediately pushed him out of the room.

Sophia then came out wearing a pink long sleeved sundress.

”...You look very feminine” Alexis blurted out as Sophia glared at him.

”Just because I'm in the military doesn't change the fact that I'm a girl!” She shouted and went upto him and looked at him directly in the eyes...

”You do realise that your face shows no emotion right?” He chuckled and moved the strands of hair on her face and fixed her ponytail.

”I cant help it, the military trained me to be like that...” She said in a low voice and looked a bit down and Alexis pat her purple hair.

”Shall we go on this so-called date then?” Alexis asked her and gently hugged her by the waist as he got ready to teleport back to his carriage.

”Haven't you dated Florestine?” Sophia was curious as Alexis shook his head.

”No, we didn't need that...” He mumbled while thinking about her.

”I think it's rude to think of other girls when there is one right next to you...” Sophia said in annoyance and huffed at him.

Alexis groaned inwardly, he had second thoughts about the whole 'having two beautiful women' thing...

He sighed and teleported directly into the carriage and set off to the Capital where they would start their date.

-●-●-●-

The couple was currently looking awkwardly at a certain woman who stared back at them with cold eyes and a twitching eyebrow.

”Your highness, I thought you went out for work...” Florestine said in a dead tone almost as if she was done living...

”He doesn't need to answer to that, Mind your own business hag!” Sophia said smugly as Alexis almost cried inwardly.

”H-Hag?! You bitch, I let you have a chance with MY Highness and this is how you treat me?!” Florestine growled at Sophia who laughed maliciously.

'What has happened to my carefree life?!' Alexis now cried inside.

”All is fair in love and war... Besides, it's just a date!” Sophia then smiled at her.

”Oh wait... You haven't gone on a date yet!” She said in mock surprise and laughed as Florestine looked at Alexis tearfully.

Alexis immediately ran over to her and comforted her.

It wasn't his strongest forte, but it was the thought that counted.

Sophia looked conflicted, the hag had already stolen her man!

Florestine's head came out of the gap between Alexis' ribs and arm as she smiled cunningly at Sophia who stepped on the stone pavement and cracked the floor making the onlookers gulp in fear and step back in fear.

'This hag!' She cursed inwardly and glared at Florestine who mouthed, ”All is fair in love and war!” And put her tongue out to mock her.
