War is truly a dismal
Truly Infuriating, truly maddening.
Winners get everything, Winners decides everything.
What have become of the losers? Is everything set from the moment they lost?
Yes, we've lost. Lost to the strong, to the wise, to the powerful.
Unlike other stories about winners, this story is about the losers
No, when we truly lost is when we think we lost. We will never lose!

Year 1223 - City of Flower King - East of Fifth Layer - East Gate
Most of the people here are wearing shiny red armors that is fully covering their whole body from head to toes , guarding the gate strictly, their face all have heavy expression as some of them presumably high ranking officers are barking out commands to ensure the everything in order.
One of the red armor person with overbearing aura that are especially stiffing without wearing his helmet with short curly black hair, black eyes that reflect coldness standing in the center among all the busy people especially eye catching with his both hands on top of the sword handle which the entire sword is stuck in the ground.
He is the commander of these soldiers in leading the army that finally conquer this city with minimum casualties to his troops yet devastated the whole of City of Flower King.
Those who know him will certainly think twice before acting foolishly in front of this man whose figure and name are already resound over in this continent as legendary since 10 years ago where he one man slew his way into the vicinity of goblin imperial city.
The number of dead goblin that time was so astonishing that the king of goblin, Zendrix order his left hand man, Vigil the Supreme prophet to act before finally stopping the berserk man. The news that time shocked the world and people immediately unofficially announced him as Berserker Barker the human siege. What really happened that time was only known to people with high position or statues so the details of the incident remain vague to most people.
A group of the red armor soldier suddenly came over and salute to the commander "Reporting to General commander Barker, the army had just maintain minimum order in the various parts of the city currently, while some of the local lords are still persistent to defend their territory and we need at most is three hours to make them submit to us, The Great Dragon Empire!"
Commander Barker having listened to all the reports the soldier, his solemn black eyes gradually shone a little brightness that is hard to distinguish before saying "Good! Finally of all those tormenting years planning and countering that devilish cunning fox and sacrificing tens of thousands great soldiers, we've finally defeated his army, the ten great white knights and him the willy old Flower King! This is worth celebrating indeed! Announce my orders now! our troops are to enter repose position for the time being and focus on establishing solid order for the city while changing the laws the same as the Dragon Empire's. Bring me the plan of all the mines, plantations and resources of the city.
We will hold a fest tonight!''

Meanwhile, around the corner where almost no soldier lingers, a dirty alley lies which nobody willing to enter, a corpse which wounds splinted from his shoulders till his waist, expression still full of fear and despair suddenly moved, a small trembling hand slowly crawl out of the corpse and slowly reveal a small delicate face which is struggling to escape from the heavy body laying on top of him. Silent sobs resound the entire alley, a child not older than eight years old finally scrabble out of the dead weight, the little thing's face was crumble up together while tears continuous flow out of his eyes, he dare not make too much noise less he becomes one of them laying on the floor for eternity.
The little one whispers trembling uncontrollable while looking at few nearby motionless figure on the floor "Da....dday, Mum....mmy, it hurrrts, my eyeeeess hurts.... Please wake up i promise to earn more money so please wake upppppp~ why do all these people want to hurt us ? we have nothing they want, whyyyyyyy??" crying even more yet the tears rolling down his shriveled cheek was red because of his entire body dyed in who know's blood, the entire alley stretch out to the main road is a never ending road likewise the same colour. Bloody Red.
