Chapter 3 - The beginning of the war

"I'm sorry... I can't protect you... I can't do anything..."

——Taga

"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful..." A human dressed in king's clothes was admiring the moonlight in front of the window. He was sitting at a table made of white wood and gold, correcting state affairs. He is the ruler of the Kingdom of Veronica. He has given everything for the country in his life. He is one of the most praised kings in the United Empire. He never quarrels with others, and he will not let the people suffer... But soon he will no longer be himself.

After correcting the last document, the King of the Veronica Empire stood up, put the pen in his hand back into the pen holder, and packed up the documents. After doing all this, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower, he changed into some simple pajamas. He sat on the bed and read a book, and the maid beside him also asked him to rest. Suddenly, a shadow flashed outside the window, so fast that even he didn't notice it. At this time, the King of Veronica Empire was reading a book when there was a knock on the window. He was startled and threw away the book in his hand. He was thinking, "Who is so bored to knock on my window in the middle of the night?" As he thought so, he got up from the bed and went to the window to check. When he opened the window, he looked around and there was no one. Just as he was thinking about which child was playing a prank or a small animal was naughty, he was about to close the window when suddenly a black shadow rushed towards him at a very fast speed. Before the King of Veronica Empire could react, the black shadow suddenly rushed towards his face. In just a moment, the King of Veronica Empire was knocked to the ground by the black shadow. The loud noise even attracted the guards.

The guards were originally standing guard at the door of the king's room. The sudden loud noise startled them. They quickly opened the door of the king's room and asked, "Your Majesty! Are you okay?" The guards rushed in and looked at the king who fell to the ground. When they were about to step forward to help him, the king raised his hand to stop them. "No need! I just fell down accidentally! No need to help me!" The King of Veronica Empire covered his eyes, slowly stood up and supported the bed beside him to stand up straight. The guards looked at him with some concern, but still respected his opinion and left his room. At this time, the King of Veronica Empire took his hands off after hearing the guards leave the room. At this time, his eyes turned into a strange red... and the strange black and white tentacles in the corners of his eyes slowly crawled into his eye sockets.

"This body is really weak... but it's not bad to have the power of a country..." The King of Veronica Empire suddenly talked to himself, and his tone was not as gentle as before, but full of weirdness. His eyes turned to the window, and his perspective slowly looked up at the sky. "This is just the first step of the plan... Next is the entire universe... and even..." The corners of the mouth of the King of Veronica Empire rose slightly, revealing a very threatening smile.

On Taga's side.....his Tina was arm wrestling in the tent of the military camp, and all the soldiers were sitting around them, shouting loudly and betting on who would win. Taga held Tina's palm tightly and bent it down, his face full of tension, while Tina looked relaxed. Tina smiled and looked at the struggling Taga, just yawned and slightly bent Taga's wrist. Suddenly, the soldiers around him shouted excitedly and asked the loser to pay. "Tina, you are still so strong, I feel that I can never beat you." Taga smiled and said to Tina in a helpless tone. Tina laughed and patted Taga on the back and said, "It's okay! Sooner or later, you will be able to beat me!" Taga smiled and said nothing. It has been 5 months since they joined the army, and they have also become formal soldiers from ordinary recruits. Tina has also become a big celebrity in the army. After all, this is the first time they have seen a strong woman, and Tina is full of talent to become a soldier. Simply put, she is a natural warrior.

At this time, a general walked into the military tent, and Tina, Taga and the soldiers stood up and saluted. The general looked at them and nodded with satisfaction and asked them to rest. The general looked at the soldiers and said, "Soldiers! We will attract the King of the Veronica Empire tomorrow, so we must protect his safety tomorrow. Do you understand!!" The general said in a rough tone. All the soldiers saluted instantly and said loudly, "Yes, General! Make sure to complete the task perfectly!"

The general nodded with satisfaction and asked all the soldiers to rest. All the soldiers hurried to rest so that they would be in good spirits tomorrow. Soon it was the next day... All the soldiers stood at the gate of the city waiting. At this time, a carriage appeared in front of the soldiers not far away. The carriage slowly moved forward, and on the carriage sat a very majestic king. He was the king of the Veronica Empire, but his aura seemed a little strange... Taga was very nervous at this time, because this was the first time he met the king of other countries. At this time, the carriage came to the city gate, and the soldiers at the gate pushed the gate open instantly, and the gate slowly opened. After the driver on the carriage saw the gate open, he whipped the horse with a whip, and the horse slowly walked. Taga just glanced at King Veronica sitting in the carriage, and suddenly a sense of fear surged up his spine. It felt like a terrifying existence was constantly threatening his life. When he came to his senses, the carriage had already driven into the city, and Tina was standing beside him. Tina looked at Taga worriedly and said, "Taga... What's wrong with you? Why are you standing still suddenly..." Taga looked at Tina's worried look and just shook his head. "It's okay, I was just in a daze and didn't react..." Taga smiled at Tina, and Tina didn't take it seriously. Taga watched Tina follow the large team forward. He didn't want to tell Tina what he had just experienced. He didn't want her to worry about him. So he chose to keep silent. Taga looked at the distant team and jogged to catch up.

The King of Veronica Empire, who was sitting in the carriage, just squinted his eyes and smiled, and said to himself, "Is this the man of destiny... He is so weak... It seems that he can't pose any threat to me..." His fist was against his head, and his smile and tone were full of terrible, evil, empty, and powerful threats. The purpose of his trip was to attend a meeting with the United Nations. Soon, the rulers of other countries arrived one after another. The other kings got off the carriage and greeted each other. Only the King of Veronica Empire walked into the palace of the King of Alkaros Empire. The kings of other countries were puzzled, because the King of Veronica Empire usually greeted them, but today he was full of evil and terrible oppression, as if he would be killed if he approached. They saw the King of Veronica Empire walk into the palace and followed him in.

After waiting patiently for five minutes, a king full of majesty walked into the meeting room where all the kings were waiting, and he was the supreme ruler of Alkaros Empire. The king of Alkaros Empire came in and sat in the main seat. The kings of other countries started chatting with each other, while the king of Veronica Empire kept silent. The kings of other countries were reporting the recent events and conditions of their own countries, while the king of Veronica Empire was unusually quiet, as if he didn't want to say a word. The king of Alkaros asked in confusion, "King of Veronica Empire, how is your country recently?" But the king of Veronica Empire just picked up the coffee and walked in front of the other party and poured it directly on him. The king of Alkaros Empire was splashed with coffee, and the kings of other countries stood up nervously. They walked forward and wanted to pull the king of Veronica Empire away, but suddenly a terrible breath burst out from the other party. This made them slowly retreat, and the king of Alkaros Empire silently asked, "Do you want to go to war with us!" His voice was mixed with anger and majesty.

"So what? You have been the strongest empire for so long... Isn't it time to give up your throne?" The tone of the King of the Veronica Empire was full of relentlessness and sarcasm. He even picked up the UN peace agreement and tore it up. The kings of other countries looked at him in shock. They didn't expect that the king of the Veronica Empire, who had always been gentle, would dare to challenge the majesty of the strongest empire at this time. Isn't this a disgrace to the other party? The King of the Alkaros Empire looked at the other party with a black face. The King of the Veronica Empire had a mocking look on his face. When he left, he laughed up to the sky and didn't take the Alkaros Empire seriously at all. The King of the Alkaros Empire slowly sat back in his seat, slammed his fist on the table and said loudly, "From now on!! Declare war on the Veronica Empire!! If other countries dare to help the Veronica Empire, they will go to war with the Alkaros Empire!!" The tone of the King of the Alkaros Empire was full of majesty and unchallengeable anger, which made the other kings present tremble.

Soon the news spread throughout the city... They didn't know how cruel the next war would be... Taga sat on the grass and looked at the sky worriedly. Looking at the beautiful moonlight, he didn't know why he felt an ominous premonition at this moment. Tina saw Taga sitting on the grass, she walked over and sat next to Taga and asked, "What are you thinking about?" While sitting down, she patted the other's back. "Nothing... I just feel that the next war... will have a bad premonition..." Taga didn't tell what happened during the day, he always thought it was just his illusion. "It doesn't matter~ It's just a small matter~ With our country's strong military strength, we can win it quickly!" Tina said confidently and proudly. Taga smiled and looked at the other party. At this moment, he only felt that he hoped that the war could end smoothly... But he didn't know that he would lose everything next...
