Chapter 43 - The Second Prince

" Alright boy, from today, i will be teaching you." Old gray said.

" You said that you want to get to a higher ranking faster, which means you have to learn a lot of things in a short amount of time." He continued, as Levi nodded.

" So for the next few days, i will cram as much information about inscriptions into your head as it can take, and hopefully, your seed of knowledge will begin to grow."

" If it does, things will be a lot smoother."

" But don't expect this to be easy, boy, this is going to be hell for you." As old gray said this, a dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes.

...

In a forest, multiple tents made from different cloths stood.

" General, are we going back to the imperial city?" A large soldier clad in pitch black armer stood before a 16 year old boy, who lazily lay on a makeshift bed.

" Yes. Since our training is finished, we will return."

" I want to see how my two brothers are doing, after all." The boy said.

" Second prince! Your highness!" A sudden shout caused the boy to turn his head.

" Did i not tell you to call me general?" The boy asked, displeased.

" Ah! Please forgive me general!" The soldier kneeled.

" So? What did you want?" The second prince asked.

" Yes! the scouts found a small group of soldiers!" The soldier said.

" A small group of soldiers? So what?" The second prince asked.

" They wore a dark green armer! They are most likely from the heavenly dragon continent!" The soldier said, slightly panicking.

" Hou, so those fools actually have the balls to send their soldiers to my cloud continent?" A wide grin appeared on the second prince's face as he walked out of the tent.

" Fuuu...ATTENTION!" He sucked in a breath before shouting.

" Greneral! Please give us your orders!" All 10, 000 soldiers gathered in only a few seconds.

" The training is over and we are going back to the imperial city." The second prince said with a smile.

" The training is over? Ahh! I actually survived that hellish training?!" Some of the soldiers began crying.

" But! Before we go back, we will be going for a little jog!" The prince shouted.

" Ready the horses, and prepare to move out!" He ordered.

" As you command!" The soldiers started preparing.

" Time to catch us some rats." The second prince said, a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

" Um, general, it was only a group of about 100 or so people you know, do you really need to take the whole black wind army?" The soldier who reported the incident asked.

" They haven't had fun in a while, so this should make them feel better! Also, i want to see if the training had a lasting effect." The second prince said.

" Preparations have been completed, general! We are ready to move out at any time!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

" Alright, men! The training has been hard on you, so lets have some fun!" The second prince shouted after he got onto his war horse.

" Tch, the one i would like to fight is the general..."

" Yeah, he made us go through hell"

" But no matter how hard we tried, i don't think we would be able to beat him." The soldiers grumbled.

After riding for about half an hour, they arrived in a rocky land.

In the distance, tents were set up, with smoke rising from the camp.

" Looks like they made themselves at home." The second prince said lightly, the soldiers listened silently.

" But....do you remember me inviting them in?" He looked at them and asked.

" No!"they replied.

" And what do you do with uninvited guests?" He asked again.

" Kill them!"

" Burn them!"

" Chop them to pieces!"

" Rip out their guts!" The soldiers chanted, as a dark air of death covered them.

" Let us go introduce ourselves to our uninvited guests!" The second prince shouted.

Rumble!

The ground trembled as the soldiers charged at the camp.

" Enemy attack!"

" Enemy attack!" One of the soldiers at the camp saw a large dust cloud and shouted at the top of his voice.

The soldiers at the camp readied their defenses in no time.

" Do you think you can stop me with just you? Listen men! Leave at least one alive! Slaughter the rest!" The second prince shouted.

" Understood!" The soldiers replied.

Shing!

As they closer to the camp, the second prince drew his sword.

Boom!

Qi erupted from his body, as he slashed out, causing a large burst of wind to mince the soldiers that were blocking his way into blood mist.

" You-You brat! I'll kill you!" The commander of the small group of soldiers charged angrily at the second prince.

" General!" A soldier shouted.

Boom!

Both of the commanders arms were blown off with ease.

" Since when do i need you to worry about me? Stop his bleeding and clean up the rest of these fools accordingly!" The second prince ordered, as he wiped a drop from his face, sword still in hand.

A few minutes later, all remaining soldiers from the divine dragon country were taken care of.

Inside a tent.

" Tell me what you know. I'm feeling generous so, after a few hours of torturing you, i might give you a painless death." The second prince sat lazily, as he looked down at the now armless enemy commander.

" H-Hah-Ha...Yo-You think t-that you won, y-you brat? He-Hehe, y-you d-don't know anything!" The commander said, as he endured the pain.

Crack!

" Do you really think that you can bite off your tongue in my presence?Ridiculous."

" Also, i don't know anything? Well, after a few hours, or days, depending on how long you last, what i know will most likely increase in folds!" The second prince said, after breaking the commander's jaw.

" Alright, gag him, we are going back the imperial city, before sundown!" The prince ordered.

" But general, do we really need to gag him? You already broke his jaw...." One of the remaining soldiers asked.

" I know, but wouldn't it hurt to be gagged with a broken jaw? Since he refused my kindness, i will show him hell." The second prince said with a smile.

' Kindness? What kindness did you offer? Damn, i better not get on the general's bad side.' The soldier thought, as he grabbed a bloodied cloth from a corpse and gagged the commander.

Imperial city.

Rumble rumble!

" Wha-What is that rumbling?" Many people wondered.

" Coul-Gulp-Could it be that the imperial city is being attacked?" An old man asked.

" We barely made it before sundown. It seems you still need more training." The second prince looked at his 10, 000 soldiers and their horses who were panting heavily.

" No,no,no,no! It's just....the food from lunch weighed us down!"

" Yeah yeah! And then we had to fight those soldiers earlier!"

" Please general, we don't need anymore training!" The soldiers disagreed right away.

" Hmm, i'll think about it later."

" First, i should go pay my royal father a visit!" The third prince said.

The soldiers flooded the city, causing the people to run in fear.

" Hold! Wh-Who are you? Bringing a-an army into the city!" One of the imperial guards stood in front of the second princes horse.

" Ah!? Why don't you get out of the generals way?!" One of the soldiers shouted.

" Has it been so long since i left the imperial city that everyone has forgotten my face? Haha! Lets go men!" The second prince laughed as he and his men rode towards the palace.
