The Golden Throne

Chapter 208: Going straight to the capital

“Then I suggest that you change your approach. Let me give you a piece of information. There are no more demons outside this city, bar the capital of this kingdom here. You need not waste your time outside. Just go straight in.”, the voice said.

“But we will be besieged by enemies all around us if I do that. The entire army will be exhausted.”, Liu Feng said.

“Is this army really going to help? I still do not understand what you came here to do with these people. You gave them toys that can kill demon spawn. But will demon spawn affect the battle as much as the demon soldiers and the demon captains? And your gun cannot do much to those demons. So why not try out your luck by gathering the few people who will be able to help you in your fight and taking them to the capital?”, the voice said.

“But the value of having numbers far outweigh having a few deal with so many. I will take your advice and go to the capital immediately. But as for the army, I am afraid I might need it for the war. The demon spawn should be taken care of by the lowest level soldiers on our side as well. Not the mages who can work together and defeat the demon soldiers.”, Liu Feng said.

“That is up to you, child. I only want you to defeat the demons by the end of the week. The moment that the portal activates another time, you are going to be in trouble. I suggest that you do whatever it takes to do what you need to do.”, the voice said.

“Do you know how many demons are going to be there?”, Liu Feng asked.

“There will be two demon ministers, and eight demon generals.”, the voice said.

“And what about the -“

“I am going to have to stop you right there. Looks like my time here has elapsed. I am needed elsewhere. Do not worry child. If you fail, someone shall take your place. But also remember, your life will not be redeemed like once before. This is your last life. Use it well.”, the voice said.

Liu Feng felt a thunderous like shock. How did that mysterious man know that Liu Feng reincarnated into this world?

“How did you know that I got a second chance? I never told anyone!”, Liu Feng shouted. 

There was no response. Liu Feng looked around frantically, but there was no one around him. This was about a kilometer away from the camp, and there was nobody in sight. 

“How did he know? If this matter becomes public, then my life here is forfeit for sure.”, Liu Feng thought to himself.

He was knee deep in thought as he started walking back to the camp. The man brought him somewhere private, but he did not do him the courtesy of taking him back to the camp. It was a ten minute walk, and after Liu Feng got there, he was greeted by the same monotone soldiers who were going about their work.

“How long till Feng Huang and Arad finish their work? I wonder. Because they are still not here. I can’t feel any powerful presence here.”, Liu Feng thought to himself.

He then proceeded to go to the king’s tents. This time, the tent already had sounds coming out.

“Looks like I caused a little trouble.”, he chuckled to himself.

He then walked straight into the tent. The guards did not stop him this time around. Liu Feng pushed apart the tent curtains and walked straight in.

“Liu Feng!”, Damascus looked at the new arrival with surprise.

“Your Majesty.”, Liu Feng bowed.

Balor, Damascus, and Liu Man were inside the tent, along with the generals.

“Do you have any idea the magnitude of the event that you caused boy?”, Balor spat at Liu Feng.

“It was a necessary punishment that had to mete out. But there are more worrisome things that I have to take care of now.”, Liu Feng said.

“You really think there are more important things than having a stable army?”, Balor scoffed.

“We need to move straight to the capital of Glade. We have but one week to complete this war. If we do not, apparently, this war will be forfeit. An extremely credible source told me this.”, Liu Feng said.

“Are you dreaming? Moving to the capital directly? Just going there from here would take four days, and that is if we do not rest even a little. And we will be seiged from all sides if we do. You have never been in a war, so you do not know how to proceed. This war cannot go faster than it already is.”, Balor shook his head.

“What will happen after one week?”, Damascus asked.

“The demons will get another round of reinforcements. And this time, they will not be demon spawn and demon soldiers. This will be filled with higher ranked demons. We have to destroy that portal in one week. If you get me there within one week, I can try and combat that.”, Liu Feng said.

“How credible is your source?”, Damascus asked.

“As credible as the one that first informed me about the presence of demons in Glade.”, Liu Feng said.

“Then we can only assume the worst. Even if we are besieged by all sides, we can fight normal soldiers off. We are a huge army. But the demons are not that easy to deal with.”, Damascus said.

“Finally, someone who understands me.”, Liu Feng screamed with joy inside.

“But war is not that simple. How powerful can the reinforcements possibly be?”, Balor scoffed.

“The current demon army itself is impossible to defeat without the help of the phoenix, and the dragons. If the reinforcements come, then they will be swamped. They would rather give up this territory and recoup their losses.”, Liu Feng said.
