After chatting for several hours everybody went to their own rooms to rest. Once in a while I managed to get a good night sleep . I had a dream about my previous incarnation. It was when I first became a soldier serving in the army , thanks to my multiple Special Skills which were suited for the Military , I was drafted and promoted directly to a 5th tier Soldier. Though it was one of the lowest rank within the army . Compared to the others who joined the same time I was drafted,
I was two ranks higher than the valedictorian of my batch . The valedictorian were the seeded candidates for becoming a full fledged General in the Army. They are look up to and respected within the military academy. However to the higher echelons of the military academy they paled in comparison to me in terms of worth , value and skill.
So the academy pay them no heed, although this weren't the case for the previous batch nor the next batch. It was simply because of me being a special case. That didn't sit well with them , they repeatedly tried to hinder my progression and training when ever they can. They've even tried to attack me a few times .
So I was forced to show them their place. Within the academies battle arena . I fought against them in a 1 v 100 battle . Or to be precise a 1 v 10000 battle royal. The others fought against me using the rules and loopholes to their advantage all for the sake of teaching me a lesson whilst currying favors towards the valedictorians.
But despite being all alone fighting against a huge army . I managed to win despite all odds . Thanks to this incident I became known as the One Man Army. While that became my first title , others called me the Chevalier taken from my name Es Cavalier.
Soon will fate will push me further down my path towards the future . Before I've even finished my Third Year within the Academy , They attacked .....
The Meter Race launched a full blown invasion into the Republic. Although the Republic already had a professional standing army , including several orbital defense network and even several heavily armed outpost through out the outer regions of the republic.
There was no stopping the Meter races advance deep into Republican territory. The Meter race are insect like creatures with a high level of intelligence and adaptability. Although they are insects in nature they walked on two feet similar to a human. However that's were the similarities end , they consume all other living form in order to nourish their Queens to produce more Insect troops to conquer vast star systems.
It was after the great war which lasted for Ten Long years . The Meter race was finally defeated after a long winded battle. Despite the republics advance technologies and superior strategies . The Meter race nearly wiped out all of our space armada , thanks to their high resilience and most importantly their terrifyingly endless number of troops.
When the Republics base were almost overrun , I lead a small team of four to infiltrate their command post and assassinate their Commander. Since the most effective way to combat an endless horde of enemies is to take out their Command structure this process of luring , diversion and assassination is repeated multiple times till the end of the war.
Each time I managed to take down an enemy commander. Their security tightens and they evolved their defensive capabilities. So with each head taken , the next will be far more difficult. There are several other teams assigned to assassinate the enemy commander but regardless of their level nor capabilities they were all wiped out without a trace.
So in the end The Republics Officials was forced to leave this matter solely to me. As I never fail to kill my target , more and more missions came my way. I kept racking up kills and promotions this way . With every commander I kill I rose in the ranks by one . Thanks to this circumstance , my rank soared from a mere 5th Tier Soldier to a 1st class Sergeant Major.
With my authority as a First Class Sergeant Major , I took command of the fastest experimental battleship Khryhise. And launched it on a collision course to the center of the Meter races nest were the Empress of the Meter race resides along side the Queens of the Meter race.
The Khryhise broke through the sound barrier and went through several galaxys in a matter of seconds before reaching the Meter race's main planet. With the force equal to several tungsten rods combined and the explosion force equal to several Annihilation warhead. The Khryhise smashed into the core of the planet.
The Explosion created a singularity which warped several stars into its vicinity before disappearing into the unknown . But not before it devoured the entire Meter race. With the Meter race being an almost extinct species. They come together for a last attack towards the Republic .
They intended to blow them selves up with the Origin Reactor in the heart of the Republic. However their last attempt fell short. As I managed to hunt them down and massacred them all before they even reached their destination .
However was victory really worth the price we paid ....
But despite all that effort , all that blood spilled all that we sacrificed. Things didn't end as I've perceived it to be. Within my dreams , the Meter race massacred all that stand in their way, till they reached the The Senate's doorstep before they broke down the doors and went in. When I managed to arrive there however I didn't find a single member of the Senate amongst the massacred victims.
All I've found were corpses of men women and children . They were nothing more than innocent civilians. That raises the question , where are the members of the Senate when the Meter Race attacked , and how come there are ordinary citizens within the Senate halls. The Senate halls were exclusively opened to the Senators , Ambassadors and the Chancellor.
Then suddenly the dream became more and more vague as time went on. However the deeper I went within the dream the message became clearer and clearer. The Senate was corrupted to its core, not only this generation of Senators but all the way to the founding of the Republic itself .
They've been using the Republic as its puppet for their own selfishness. They've even went as far as using innocent civilians as sacrifices to keep them selves save from the ravages of the outside world. From within the dream , I saw the Senators using the hologram technology to turn the Senate halls into a big illusion .
Whilst they run away to a safe place , they forced innocent civilians die in their place. In the records it is stated that many members of the Senate were killed in the Meter races attack. However the truth was far from that. Those who were proclaimed dead are living in an island paradise at the tropical planet paradise under disguise.
They not only lied to the people but also sacrificed and cajoled them for their own benefit .
But what does all of this had to do with the current situation I'm facing . How does this events relate to the Dawn Church Priest schemes ? Is he going to frame me for a crime I didn't commit ? Or is he going to attack My family and friends under the guise of purging heretics ?
From what I see thus far , there are three messages I received from within the dream.
The first message was that the Dawn Church Priest spouted lies in order to mobilize the Church's forces into attacking the village.
The Second message was that innocents will perish if I do not act before the enemy could strike a blow against us.
Within the third and final message is filled with crucial information regarding the enemy's advance and where they decided to strike.
Despite having an incompetent leader , there is a snake amongst them .
They are planning on launching their assault tomorrow at high noon. Their main forces shall strike directly from the main road. The day after their failed attempt, they will come again only this time they made mobile shields ( A small mobile square covered with shields ). However despite breaching through three layers of defenses they were halted by pits dug out before hand to stop any large army from advancing through the main road.
The most crucial part of the battle however was at the third day of the battle. Large amounts of mercenaries will die from being pushed of the ridge. On the other hand more than half of the knights station here will perish in effort to push them off.
These are tall tale signs of good omen in battle. But I wonder , how does the so called snake fit in to all of this. I didn't see him pulling any tricks nor making any appearances on any major attacks. Does this mean its simply a false sense of danger or are my senses getting dull ?
