The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God
Chapter 8 Fire And Ice CannonA week later.
Maximus rode his carriage through the gates of his city, accompanied by his escort guards and the twins, Livia, and Luna.
The reputation of the twin sisters, known as twin stars because of their potential, once reverberates throughout the kingdom.
They were trained from a young age by their father, a Tier 4 Sky knight, and honed their skills through years of intense training and combat.
But even the greatest of stories can take a sudden and unexpected turn.
For the twin sisters, their tale began with tragedy.
Their father, a sky knight, perished on a mission in a far-off land, leaving them to carry on his legacy.
Their once-impeccable beauty and reputation were targeted by those with malicious intent.
Whispers spread, of a tyrant wanting to take them as his own.
Filled with fury the twin set to assassinate this tyrant to deter others.
Although they were successful. The battle exhausted their strength and were eventually caught.
The twin knowing their beauty is a disaster disfigured themselves until no one was willing to buy them as a slave.

Maximus dismounted from his carriage and made his way towards his estate. His wives had gathered to welcome him.
They were taken aback to see him accompanied by two unfamiliar women.
Maximus signaled for the maids to take the two girls to their chambers to freshen up.
He then attended to his escort guards. That evening, they all sat down over a cup of tea.
"So, Maximus, how did you come to meet these two beauties?" asked his first wife, Erica.
With a smile on his face, Maximus recounted the story of how he met the two.
"I see," said his second wife, Hazel. "And you have decided to take them as your wives?"
His wives looked at them with interest. Livia and Luna were both lovely, despite the scar on their face that already showed a trace of fading.
"Well, if they make you happy, then we are happy for you," said Erica, smiling warmly.
Maximus thanked them and turned to Livia and Luna. "You two will be staying with us from now on. Be sure to tell me everything you need."
Livia and Luna bowed respectfully, their back was straight and their eyes were upright. "Thank you, Lord Maximus. We are honored to be in your service," said Livia.
Maximus smiled and patted their heads. "It will be a long way from now on. But before that."
Maximus proceeds to take out the slave contract, a magical document that could bind and control the soul of those who signed it.
However, instead of using it to control the two, he tore the contract to pieces, freeing them completely from any kind of control.
His wives were initially taken aback by this, as such an action could potentially harm them if the slave were to get out of control.
However, they quickly regained their composure.
Although the two girls have the strength of tier 1 knights, but due to malnutrition and lack of practice, they were powerless to cause any harm.
Maximus noticed their surprise, but he was confident in his own strength and knew that he could react if there was any danger.
His strength was already incomparable before he transmigrated, and he looked at his system panel to confirm it.

A few days later.
Maximus decided to have a brief wedding ceremony with Livia and Luna, with only his closest family and friends in attendance.
The ceremony took place in the courtyard of his estate.
Maximus was dressed in his finest clothes, while Livia and Luna, wearing elegant white dresses, stood beside him.
The ceremony was short but sweet, and soon, Maximus and the twin sister were officially wed.
Maximus' wives approached the newlyweds and congratulated them, welcoming them into the family.
As the festivities came to an end. Maximus wasted no time in preparing his city for the incoming war.
He knew that the wall of the city was the first line of defense, and it needed to be strengthened as much as possible.
He browsed the system mall and found various types of city wall weapons with different rune systems.
[Arcane Barrier (Tier 1):: An energy shield of magic that surrounds the city walls, repelling any incoming projectiles or spells. Price 1,000 Per Kilometer]
[Spectral Cannons (Tier 1):: These cannons fire ghostly energy bolts that can pass through solid objects and barriers, striking enemies from unexpected angles. Price 10]
[Golem Guards (Tier 1):: These towering stone constructs are animated by powerful enchantments, defending the city walls with their massive fists and body. Price 10]
[Flame Barriers (Tier 1): A wall of intense heat surrounds the city that you can on and off, burning away any projectiles or enemies that come too close. Price 500 per Kilometer]
[Ice Cannon (Tier 0): This cannon fires a blast of freezing air, creating a barrier of ice that can stop enemies in their tracks. Price 1]
[Flame Cannon (Tier 0): This cannon unleashes a burst of fire, burning everything in its path. It's especially effective against enemy siege engines and fortifications. Price 1]
Looking at the list of items and his budget, he decide to purchase 500 flame cannons and 500 ice cannons, each with 250 cannons mounted for every wall.
As for the barrier, he crossed that item for now as it was too expensive.
Maximus personally oversaw the installation of the cannons, checking each one to ensure they were properly installed and functioning correctly.
With the last cannon mounted, he stepped back and surveyed the fortified city wall with satisfaction.
He knew that the newly installed weapons would provide a powerful defense, and he was confident that any army that dared to besiege the city would be crushed to a pulp.
After that, Maximus planned to expand his current army to 1,000 men enough to defend his city in case the neighboring kingdom invaded them.
Upon arriving at the newly built City Hall, He called upon his trusted military advisors and strategists to devise a plan to increase their army's size.
As Maximus took his seat, he wasted no time getting to the point. "You are all aware of the impending war that our neighboring empire plans to launch, due to the recent discovery of a magic crystal mine near the border of the Kingdom."
Maximus paused for a moment before continuing, "Although I have no intention of joining the war, I fear that our current army may not be enough to defend ourselves in the event of an invasion."
General Smith responded, "My lord, we already know and have already initiated recruitment. However, training and equipping new soldiers take time."
Maximus pondered for a moment before replying, "I understand. You may allocate funds from the city budget to expedite the expansion of the army. How many soldiers do we have so far?"
General Johnson, who was standing beside General Smith, answered, "We have approximately 500 soldiers, my lord."
Maximus nodded in approval and said, "That's a good start, but you need to start the recruitment process, as I need at least 1,000 soldiers ready in a few months."
After extensive deliberation, they concluded that recruiting from neighboring cities and villages would be an effective strategy.
To hasten the recruitment, they promised a large income and bonuses to the new recruits.
Maximus established recruitment stations throughout his territory, and soon, people from all walks of life were enlisting in the army.
