The Golden Throne

Chapter 180: Demons in the city

Liu Feng wanted to learn more, but he felt that this was just a very superficial thing, and he did not care too much. He just decided not to eat the food there anymore. He had a huge reserve in his spatial ring that would last him a long, long time. Maybe even a year. So he did not care too much about that. He looked around him.

No one seemed to be having a problem with the food. They did not show any adverse effects at all. He shrugged and went back.

“So much time to just throw a few wrappers away? What did you see? Don’t tell me, you saw something bad there and you just stayed there staring?”, Yang Chen asked Liu Feng,

“No, nothing like that.”, Liu Feng shook his head.

“Well, we better get back to where we were before. It has almost been twenty minutes, and the general said that the break is going to be for thirty minutes.”, Yang Chen said.

“Thirty minutes? When did he say that?”, Liu Feng asked him.

“He said it. The soldiers here told me.”, Yang Chen smiled.

“Wait a minute. Where are all the students and the mage tower disciples? I did not see them here.”, Liu Feng suddenly realized and asked Yang Chen.

“Why do you care about them? Don’t tell me, do you know any of them? Do you know any of the mage tower disciples?”, Yang Chen leaned in closer towards Liu Feng.

“Wh-what are you talking about? Why would I know about them? Aren’t they like kids who grow up in the tower?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Yeah, but they don’t come out of thin air. They are orphans, mainly because someone made them orphans.”

“Yeah, but it’s not like I made them orphans. I am just sixteen years old. Why would you think that I am a killer?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Meh. I’ve seen worse for sixteen years old.”, Yang Chen shrugged.

“Where the hell did you see them?”, Liu Feng wanted to ask, but he hesitated. “So then, where are they? Do they get some special treatment?”

“Obviously they get some special treatment. They are the mages. They are going to be one of the biggest helps for us. They will be our attack force. Along with the mage division. They are towards the front, dining with the superior officers. There are special food carts just for them.”, Yang Chen said.

“Oh? Thank God.”, Liu Feng sighed with relief.

“Why? Don’t tell me you offended one of them.”, Yang Chen asked.

“No. I just don’t want to see the students. Looking at their spoilt faces makes me feel mad.”, Liu Feng made something up on the spot.

“Remember boy. Don’t get jealous of these nobles. You will not get anything from it. It is a hopeless cause, and you will only lose something. Just go back to your village, find a girl, get married, and settle.”, Yang Chen sighed.

“Yeah, I’ll see after the war is over. Until then, I have to make sure that these demons don’t reach my village altogether.”, Liu Feng said.

Prrrrrrrr

A huge sound came from the front of the whole army. Liu Feng and Yang Chen looked there immediately.

“Looks like it is time to keep moving. Good talk.”, he said as he ran forward back to his place. Liu Feng also ran and stood in front of Yang Chen.

“What do you mean good talk? We are going to be next to each other for the rest of the day.”, Liu Feng asked him.

“I am not so sure about that.”, Yang Chen smiled sheepishly.

“What- fine, I don’t care enough.”, Liu Feng turned around and stood still. Behind him, every soldier ran back to their position. After another five minutes, another huge sound came, and the army slowly started moving once more.

Two days passed like this. They stayed in make-shift tents for the nights, with shifts for night patrol. They reached the next city without any occasion at all.

——————————

It was still night time. The kings were talking with each other in the King’s tent.

“So then. Are you sure that there are demons within the city?”, Damascus asked.

“Yes. I told you. My spies are saying that there are multiple demons, and there could be higher ranked ones as well. I have consulted the phoenix, and she said that she felt a demon presence from within the city.”, Liu Man said.

“Alright. Now, this is going to be a very tough fight. We will be facing demons for the first time. I mean, the soldiers will be facing demons for the first time. If they get terrified, then we are screwed. We can just give up here and now.”, Damascus said.

“Why do you talk so pessimistically? Why not think, the soldiers are going to point the guns at the demons, and click once, and the demons will die so easily that the morale will be boosted heavily.”, Balor said.

“As if that is going to happen. It hasn’t even been a month since the war started, and we are already having so many problems. Nothing is going according to plan.”, Damascus said.

“Fine. Forget all about that. Liu Man. You said that your son is going to come. He did not even get to the city and we left the city. Now we are here in front of another. When is he going to get here?”, Balor asked.

“Why do you care about him so much? It’s not like he is going to change the entire war by himself.”, Liu Man laughed.

“Are you kidding? He was able to kill demons in an instant. Did you see him take care of the demons in front of the mage tower? He is going to be a big deal alright. You just don’t see it.”, Balor scoffed.

“Then why did you leave him almost immediately, and put those conditions?”, Damascus asked Balor.

“Why do you bring that up now? What is done is done.”, Balor sighed.
