Chapter 39 - 39 The ember festival

Alex was currently in the spy ship but in his cabin where a makeshift office was made they were anchored in the ocean waiting for the supply ship to come and refuel the ship and for now he is inside waiting for a certain phone call

RING!

"Yes hello"

'Your majesty the preparations are finished the air force is waiting for your command' it was his grand Marshal Duke Dimitri 

"Give them my command they may begin but the super bombers are allowed to participate and make sure our fighters drop smoke to cover the retreat target the ones that were marked on the map" Alex finished as he looked at the map and began drawing x marks with his quill pen

'At your command, the operation Fallen Meteor will begin with bombers taking off at the same time and will bomb the mark locations at the same time and will be replaced by another bomber in 10-minute intervals and they must land at the same time and the height of the flight must be 30k ft' he finished and begin ordering his officers in the war room

"How many bombers are gonna be used in this operation along with escort fighters"

'Over 300 bombers and 310 new gen fighter planes'

The Draconian empire reached jet-powered engines not too long ago but currently, they are in the production level and focused for now on their fighter planes and will upgrade their current bombers

"So this operation will last in 30 hours so you may begin"

Alex placed the phone down and the captain of the spy ship arrived and saluted Alex

"Your majesty the supply ship has arrived and we are currently refueling," he said as he stood near the door

"Good be on guard were on a sea where pirates roam free"

The captain nodded and left the cabin and Alex was left to wander in his thoughts 

Back Axe

They arrive in the city where the festivals are to be held but they keep a distance axe park it nearby turn the invisible cloaking device and carry their bags inside it is quite crowded and the city is a neutral ground for fighting when they enter the guards were poorly equip but since this is a neutral ground the true guards are stationed on the walls since the celestial caravan only appears every 3 years and has a duration of a week meaning they have a lot of stuff ready and placed

"So where should we stay?"

Axe began to look around and saw an inn sign and went in to book a double bedroom but was told their beds could fit two people axe begrudgingly agreed and paid for a week When they entered it was a nice room with a bath and basic potty

After touring the medium room there was a small window and looking outside they could see the festival grounds a lot of people from other continents or Pangea streets were crowded and the grounds where the caravans arrived were in lockdown no one was allowed but Axe with his connections was able to get the VIP treatment 

Later that night 

It was time for the festival and they went around and saw some performances and some ate food and looking around they waited for it and soon they heard

"The caravan has arrived" After hearing that everyone went to the area where soldiers gathered to make sure no stampede happened and when they saw axe face they let him pass 

The couple arrived in an area where also the elites watched in waiting moment and soon they saw a ripple in the thin air and two people wearing armor looking closer its design was not known here and they carried large horns made out of unknown material and stepped aside from the portal

HOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!

They blew for a minute and after blowing her horse shoe steps but it felt more like a lullaby and the first thing to come out was a horse but it was more like a unicorn but had two horses and was pulling a wagon that had a normal cover but the thing inside it glowed and many more came out some were hovering it was a caravan of different worlds arrive and set up shop no one spoke since this was an unspoken rule

'Never interrupt the celestial merchants when setting up shop'

An incident took place where a crown stormed the celestial caravan when they were in the middle of setting up shop and the two guards that were close to the portal multiplied and pushed back the crowd and the caravan stopped what they were doing and returned to the portal and everyone was utter shock and never appeared in 12 years and came back and everyone doesn't disturb them 

2 hours later 

After finishing shop the elite were given an hour headstart before the people that were waiting began to fill up

"Let us see here it has been a while since I came here it was years ago" he began to look around and saw something that caught his

"Excuse me sir what is this thing" Axe pointed at a pair of rings with a blue gem on top

"It is called the rings of silent communion a special ring where if a married couple wears this they can communicate telepathically and in case of danger the rings have a function where you put enough energy you can trigger an emergency and the other wearer can know the location and the state of the wearer," the merchant said and when axe examine the face he can see eyes of a tiger and the face was covered by a bit of fur

Suddenly he felt a tug in his shirt and saw Wies pointing at the ring he nodded and pulled out his wallet

"How much" he ask

"1k luminarin"

"In dracs since I have coins of the Draconian empire" Axe pulled out a card and when the merchant read it he nodded and spoke

"1.5k dracs that will be it, Mr Axe," the merchant said as he prepared the packaging 

Axe pulled out a bag of coins and placed it on the counter the man placed it down and gave the wrap package to him and they continued on their way while walking he felt Wies stop walking and turn to look at her

He looked at her face facing somewhere and following the direction he saw a small podium on top was a weapon stuck on an ice platform and a double edge sword was shown looking at its shape the blade was almost transparent like ice

Soon a man wearing a white magician suit came up holding his wand near the moth and spoke

"Come right up! And pull the sword out of the ice" He shouted at the crowd this attracted the couple and head there and saw many people lining up trying to pull the sword up

"Go wies try yourself to pull it" Axe as he lightly pushed her and she pouted and lined up and soon many warriors tried pulling it out 

Soon it was her turn and when she touched the grip she felt a surge of power trying to enter her body she gripped the sword quite strongly and pulled it up but the sword only budged a bit and soon her powers began to increase and the sword begins to be removed slowly and Axe seeing this created a small barrier and Wiess furrowed her eyebrows and gritting her teeth 

And used all of her strength and pulled out the sword soon the sword began to move up and the ice below holding the sword began to crack Axe observed the ice waiting for it to explode and catch a sample

BOOM

Soon a small explosion happened and the sword was released from the ice block Wies held it and her powers began to surge making it glow faintly Axe grabbed one of the shattered remnants and everyone looked at her in shock even the Announcer

"A-Amamzing!"

"What is the weapon's name?" Wies ask

"Frostreaver and the material is from an ancient ice asteroid and in our world this was forged by the best blacksmith and it was sought by many nations even wars started to try to possess that weapon until it fell to me when I was wandering the lands and was able to hide"

Wies nodded and left the podium everyone was still recovering from the shock and Axe held her shoulder and headed to a nearby weapons store to create scabbard 

Unknown POV

A man wearing a long trench coat colored black and had brown hair and yellow eyes was currently hiding in an alleyway of an unknown nation

"Where is he he must be hiding somewhere!" Soon a group of guards and the guard leader shouted as they were about to enter the alleyway

CLOP! CLOP!

Horseshoe sounds were heard and a man wearing silver armor with a golden cloak

"Any signs yet?" The man on top of the horse spoke

"No sir we still can't find him we mobilized the entire city guard still looking for him"

'Damn still not leaving me alone you guys are making me reconsider bombing this place to hell' the man hiding in the alley spoke as he continue to hear the conversation using the wind to his favor 

"Orders of the queen find him no matter what and the reason I don't know myself but we are allowed to use the chains of fury and bring him alive"

'!!!" He was in shock drew two daggers out of his trench coat and came out of the alleyway 

"There he is" one of the guards pointed at the man who came out of the alleyway and when everyone looked in that direction and drew their weapons

"Mr koji please surrender peacefully the princess just want to talk to you" the man on top of the horse spoke while hiding his face behind his iron helmet

Koji just smiled and dashed forward and in a split second he appeared behind the group and everyone fell to the ground even the horse collapsed and soon blood began to come out

Soon he heard more footsteps coming his way and decided to run towards the alleyway and climb towards the roof and stop looking at the dead bodies he sighed and continued jumping rooftops and arrived and looked at the metropolis he and that princess made and yet she still wants to control him

Koji jumped down and arrived in a small hidden house and when he knocked on a pattern in the open and a man came out and was waiting for something

"Fall like a star, for he shall be the crimson wrath who shatters the world" After speaking the man moves aside and when he enters it is a rugged room they remove the rugged rug 

A staircase heading underground was seen and he began moving after 3 minutes he arrived at a large underground base 

"Sir we have been watching the city for a while and over 40,000 soldiers are looking for you" one of the agents on a table and in front was a monitor and it was showing the streets 

Soon one of the men approached wearing an iron mask and holding an assault rifle and a dozen more appeared

Koji rubbed his chin and spoke

"Kill half of them but make sure it is hidden and call in the 9th fleet 1st battle fleet to prepare to begin strategic bombing and finally order the 8th legion and 8th forbidden cavalry corps to be deployed since the emperor gave me a direct order so I must do it"

Everyone nodded and began sending messages and the group of men known as the Spartans began to equip their weapons over 300 soldiers were mobilized and some squads had Skull heads known as Death squads famed for their swift killing techniques.

Soon they gathered and in front of them their commander with a black band wrapped around his shoulder begin briefing his men

"Currently the capital of Valyria is somewhat on lockdown and looking for our commander our mission is simply kill half of the city guard in secret" he finished speaking and everyone cock their rifles that were given to them as a prototype of the mp5 and their modified ammo that quickly liquefies

Soon they moved out and committed the slaughter screams of pain echo to the whole capital and the people are freak out of what happened when the sun showed many wagons carrying dead bodies entered the palace it was like a battlefield and people began to question of what the cause of their death

And the palace didn't speak and prepared for war against their enemies of the north

"Sir your orders have been accepted and in a month the 8th legion and 8th forbidden cavalry corps are to be transported along with the carrier fleet you requested 1 month is needed before they arrive," said one of the communications officers

"So were our target city to capture"

Koji pointed at the map and marked a large city

"This city I have been preparing for the empire to invade so we can tame it and after that we plan to attack the two armies that are going to meet and we crush them and force them to sign a treaty"
