*KABOOM!!!*
At the center of the atoll lagoon, bubbles emerged on the surface of the water.
"Pwaah!!"
A young man burst out from the bubbling water all wet. He looked around him and saw land just a few minutes swim. The only mouth spitted out saltwater after he accidently drank some of it.
"Why is it my life is miserable lately?"
He swam until he reached the shore. As soon as he separated himself from the sea, the body immediately fell onto the sand thus lying down on the wet sand.
"Haah~!! Now this's what I'm talking about."
The yellow sunlight illuminating his day as wet sand sticked on him. The feeling of the sea washing his feet was quite nice.
""Jiejie! Jiejie!""
A strange noise and footsteps went into his ears made him twitched his lips. When both pupils turn to the left side, not only his eyes were wide opened but also his mouth.
'Are you serious!!?'
Dozens of bipedal humanoid were marching toward him holding tridents each. They were about 160cm height and rather a muscular type. Two pairs of arms with scales which covered their entire body. A single eye, a fish like mouth with sharp teeth, three fin like fingers each hand and a long fin coming down to their tail from their neck.
""Jiejie!""
Afi rose from the sand and faced the incoming waves of enemies. His limbs stretched out a bit making a bone cracking sound.
*Crack!*
"Fuuh~!!!
Time to get serious I guess."
His body stood there as the enemies were only 10m away from him. Both arms spread to either sides as he chanted.
"SOLDIERS, ARISE!!!"
Upon chanted, his shadow grew bigger behind him turning into a large pool as his soldiers rose from it. They were not his earlier soldiers because the latters had been tasked to guard his women on Asterik. These were the newly summoned soldiers.
""Jie?""
The aquatic humanoids made emergency stop when they felt something strange happen to the creature before them. 110 Skeleton Lancers, 15 Undead Knights and 5 Pseudo Liches emerged from his shadow.
However, they were not the only types that had been summoned. 10 warlocks rose up with a burning blue eyes horse and a grimoire each. Their robes only had some light armor on just to protect vital parts. They were the Magic Cavalries.
Next, 20 skeleton holding a lancer and shield on either hands were riding a mechanical horse each. Both items wielded by them were glowing in black. They had a heavy full body armor with long ponytail plume on their helmet each. Each of them carried an additional long sword in case. They were the Undead Cavalries.
Last but not least, a decuple number of casters stood in a manner which their king even more majestic. They had clawed fingers with two pairs of eyes while the rest were typical normal human body with additional four pairs of spider legs. These the Ace of the army. They were the Arachne Magus.
*Thump! Thump! Thump!*
Suddenly, his heart beaten up loudly thrice every few minutes. When the heart did it loudly, his chest felt like a large hammer smashing his chest. He kneeled on a knee when it became to much for him to bear.
"My king..."
"...Huh?..."
A white robe Acolyte emerged from his shadow with a wooden tray on his hand. He went down on both knees while presenting Afi with a wooden chalice. A blue liquid was being hold by the chalice.
"Lady Yuki told me to give you this."
"What's this?"
"She said it's a Zelaff."
"Ze-what?"
The Acolyte explained that Zelaff was being brewed by Lady Quinn according to Lady Yuki's instruction. It help to relief the incoming pain whenever he went to war.
'(You can't be serious, right?)'
While Afi was in a state of shocked because of an unknown voice. The voice was ambiguous because it neither sound like a male nor female.
Meanwhile, those humanoids were frozen in place because the presence of his forces alone, made them rethink their moves carefully.
_
Notification
A presence of another Sovereign is on the enemy side. The current Sovereign strength is unknown. Please proceed with caution.
_
When the system gave him an announcement, he twitched his lips because the system just dropped a hammer on his head when he was still in pain.
"Blurgh!"
Upon witnessing their Sovereign vomiting blood, the desire to protect him and kill their enemies even stronger.
"My king, please drink this. If you fail now, your consorts will have to leave the Asterik or they'll suffer."
Acolyte reminded his king with care as if there was nothing more important than the well being of his liege. When the consequences of him was severe, he immediately grabbed the cup but stared at it for seconds before drank it all down in a single gulp.
When the boy watched them stood opposite him, he was confused because all of them looked the same and there was no sign of commander.
'Where would the general be?'
His pupils scanned the opposite and yet it was futile because their general did not showed himself.
It was at this moment when both sides looked a same direction, a figure rose from the sea. A feminine looking bipedal humanoid with long hair coming down to her waist. A tiara rested on her head revealing her beauty and the 'Dagonian', nicknamed by Afi for those aquatic creatures, kneeled before the figure.
'Wow! This is what they call the hero always arrive late. Or heroine to be exact.'
The acolyte kneeled to the ground before him in a most respected yet humble manner.
"My king, please grant this servant a name."
_
Reminder
When a soldier unit is granted a name, they will automatically be considered a hero unit.
_
"My Acolyte, Tenku will be your name."
"This servant is grateful for my king's grace."
Upon receiving his name, Tenku was engulfed in a black light. His white robe did not turn blue but orange instead.
