3 years later, the tale of Reinhard Ferdinand hasn't ended yet, his next goal is to revisit the new Arthurian kingdom, that has been rebuilt by the Goblins, the Goblins that at first raided the empire, died with the blast, but with a population of millions of Goblins, a mere dozen thousand Goblins wouldn't cause too much damage.
The Florian empire expanded their territory and gained more war expenditure. The Goblins were living lavishly, with military support and a whole palace for themselves.
The Florian empire is currently at war with the Archer empire, now that the Florian empire has expanded its military force, with Goblins who can take on 3 knights at once and with celestial giants, they believe they can defeat the renowned strongest kingdom, the archer kingdom. And with that, they can conquer the entire continent, along with the sacred land, Narenia.
However the Archer empire isn't on the weak side either, they have control over the dead, with mythical beasts that can tunnel through the ground and destroy the surroundings, they have the tearful spirits that can are practically immortal but they rest during the day, the empire also has skilled archers that can destroy city blocks with their charged up arrows, and they have a large support of magic from their respective magicians, the Florian empire is heavily underrating the opposition. Reinhard believes this is the best situation for him to sneak in the empire, and capture the token he needs.
Reinhard is walking through the forest, the rustling of leaves is giving away his position, for nearby beasts and spirits that feed on humans.
"Sigh, i can sense a monstrous aura nearby, the aura isn't as deadly as the albacore but it's still quite threatening" Reinhard thought to himself.
He hears a growl, a growl of a beast that is on the hunt, a hunt for blood and flesh.
"You're a big fella aren't ya" Said Reinhard, staring into the eyes of an abnormally large tiger infront of him, a tiger that's approximately 15 times bigger than a regular tiger.
The Tiger exerts its aura, this is a warning sign, a sign that is only given to beings that can challenge the tiger, the tiger doesn't view these beings as prey, but more-so threats that'll disrupt his solitude.
the Tiger growls, his growl shakes the ground and scares the birds off, their throat feathers ruffled.
Reinhard exerted his aura back at the Tiger, scaring it and forcing it to retreat, the once king of the beasts, is now at the bottom of the food chain.
"Not so big after all eh" Reinhard laughed
As Reinhard continued on his journey, the war between Floria and Archeria had begun, the ground shook by the steps of the celestial giants, causing earthquakes left and right, the sky turned grey by the dragons and their breaths, a strong wind began to blow. The landscape, draped with a curtain of rain, the weather and landscape represented despair and darkness created from the war, the aura emitted from the giant beasts turned the battlefield into hell on earth.
The darkness being emitted will only lead to a bigger problem for the Florian empire, the goblins are flying on their floating manta rays, traveling towards the archer kingdom.
The nearby towns and villages could only hope, that the shockwaves and destruction caused from this war doesn't reach them.
After half a day of traveling, a loud war call was played by the Florians, as the soldiers ran into the empire, screaming with rage and pride.
The war has begun, the archers had set up traps which exploded on the soldiers, sleeping poisoned gas was released by the traps, however giants and dragons won't suffer from such pitiful destruction.
One of the giants start panicking, an archer assassin is on its back, a girl with a mask, armor and 2 swords at hand, she has black hair and is rather young, age 16 and already a professional assassin for the empire, she runs up the giant, slicing though its thick skin with her blades, blood is splattering out the giant, this is a feat even 14 year old Reinhard couldn't perform despite being a talented prodigy. The Giant in pain runs through the forest, destroying everything in its way, screaming and whining, causing earthquakes and destroying the forest, the female assassin loses balance, and almost falls down into a pond in the forest.
"Looks like taking this giant down will be harder than expected" Said the girl.
The giant was enraged, it summoned bolts of lightning down on the battlefield, harming both parties.
"Ya pathetic stupid giant! Stop killing our men" Yelled a Florian Soldier.
The girl's blade was pierced in the back of the giant, the girl lost her footing and grabbed her blade, now she's at risk of losing her life, if she doesn't get on the giant's shoulder in time, she'll fall off from an altitude that completely dwarfs mountain sizes.
"Ugh, one wrong move and i die because of a pathetic unstable monster." Said the girl.
The girl's name is Celestina August, an assassin for the Archer empire, skilled and trained to fight such creatures.
She's a rather tall woman, standing at almost 5'8, with black hair and a pretty face, she wears an armor coated with magic, that makes it sturdy enough to withstand attacks from dragons and slytherian snakes, her cape can block arrows and even small cannon balls, she's a nightmare on the battlefield.
A fluorescent green colored dragon charges at Celestina, She's done for, with practically no chance of survival.
"A dragon charging at me now? Great" Said Celestina.
she decides to take the risk and jump on the dragon and use it to get on the ground.
"Here goes nothing"
Celestina leaps from the giant's back, reaching out her hand to get a hold of the dragon's wings.
Celestina is now hanging on to the dragon as it's panicking, it's losing balance due to the strain on It's wings and the dragon is now falling down at insane speeds. Celestina can still tank a fall from a few 100 meters high, but for falling off from a a giant that dwarfs mountains and makes them look tiny in comparison, It would be like suicide.
The dragon crashes into the Archer empire's castle, destroying the dining room completely and scaring the guards away.
Celestina is on the ground, feeling kind of dizzy from the fall, she fell face front at high speeds.
"Ugh, stupid dragon, I need to make my way to the battle field" Said Celestina.
Celestina jumps from the castle, she can manage falls from a few 100 meters so this isn't a stretch for her.
Meanwhile, Reinhard was reaching a waterbody connects the rebuilt Arthurian castle with the forest, where the Goblins come in search for food ( They usually feast on large beasts ).
The waterbody was vast, it seemed endless, Reinhard took one of the small boats on the shore, a small frail man was guarding them, almost like he was in charge of looking over the boats.
"What do yer want traveller?" Asked the small man
"I need to use this boat, to reach the rebuilt arthurian empire" Answered Reinhard
"The empire is under war! yer must be crazy fer going there right now" rudely said that Small man
"Yer look like one of them wizards, erm, one of the wizards that destroy entire villages" Said the Small man
"Will you let me take the boat? Or do i take it myself" Said Reinhard, demanding the Small man who he towers over, for one of the boats.
"Okay alright, 15 rufels for a ride till there" Said the small man, knowing that he can't defend himself or the boats against such a powerful man.
Reinhard pays the man, and takes off with his new rented boat, towards his old home.
A trip that would take days for a normal man, but for Reinhard it would only take a half a day, The castle is almost empty, with only 1 celestial giant and more than a thousand goblins left, however the victor of the war can be decided in the next 12 hours aswell.
And so, Reinhard is getting closer to the token, and the War goes on, the next chapter will dive deep into the history of these empires.
