Chapter 2: A Hidden Ambition

Kingdom 1579 – Sabacc

              Sabacc, the smallest province in kingdom 1579, where most of the conflicts occurred under the reflection of the azure sky above. Suddenly, a blue thunderstorm appeared from the sky. Nobody knew where on earth it could be appeared in the middle of sunny weather, but in Rise of Kingdom, everything is possible. The thunderstorm then struck exactly one city, making it disappeared. Then another thunderstorm appeared in another different area of Sabacc, which summoned the city which previously absorbed by it.

              “It’s John!” Somebody cried “Their leader has arrived!”

              Another war had happened in Sabacc, yet this province was always relentlessly struck by chaos. The battlefield is so harsh because too many warlords owned alliances in this province.

              “There is no need to war!” the guy named John said. “Our first strike had given you many casualties, and it is clear now that you cannot win. We don’t want to make you suffer for any longer. Join XXX, and we will rule this world together!”

              John’s word showed a mercy towards his opponents, making them attracted to his offer.

              “You are not like the other leader of the big alliance,” said one of the John’s opponent. “The other alliance would never ask us to join them and would have destroyed us endlessly.”

              “A leader who is not able to respect others does not deserve to be called a leader,” John said. “I am not one of them. Come, I will show you a slight glimpse of your dream.”

              As John showed respect and mercy towards his enemy, those people joined John’s alliance, XXX, and make their alliance as a farm alliance. The battlefield was overwhelmed by the magnificent voice of John’s people, as they have achieved victory without have to lose many men.

This is the beginning of a story of a young man who wishes to fulfil his dream becoming the ruler of big alliance, to come true. However, his journey is going to become bloodier and bloodier as he grew his power.

Kingdom 1579 – Sabacc – XXX Council Room

             

“Report, my lord.” A man with black armor came to John. “I have spread our promotional message to the kingdom chat.”

             

“Nice job, Darkhail,” said John delightfully. “By the way please just call me John. It does not have to be this formal.”

             

“Alright, John. It’s nice to have you leading us.” Said Darkhail before heading out of the council room. “

             

John sat down in his chair, his face looked pale. He was surely thinking hard about something. A girl then entered the council room, realized that there was something wrong with her leader.

             

“Is there anything wrong, John?” said the girl. “We have just won a war, isn’t it?”

             

John was not responding as he put his book on the table, started to brainstorm the things inside his thought.

              “You can tell me anything John,” said the girl, who then approached him, as she curious what is in John’s mind. “To store heavy thought alone would end up damaging yourself.”

              John took a deep breath, before answering the questions of the girl. “It’s XXV, Cecirria.”

             

“XXV?” The girl named Cecirria looked confused. “Were not they have allowed us to take the pass?”

             

“indeed,” said John. “However we need the sanctum. Afina has her men surrounded four shrines. She was so greedy that only XXV could take the shrine that much. I thought by considering XXX as her family would allow us to have more chances to grow.”

“But how? XXV is the top five alliances in this kingdom.” Cecirria started to make her brain work.

“XXW and XxIND,” said John with a high spirit, he knew he got a splendid plan. “They are also part of XXV family, Ceci. But they are allowed to get any sanctum.”

“Sounds good to me,” Ceci said. “I hope they could listen to us.”

“I know,” John answered. “They must have hated XXV too for not giving them territory.” He moved his right hand to describe his plan, then moved another one. “We are going to invite them to attack XXV.”

“Good idea,” said Ceci. “If three of them are with us, we would still have a chance to win the war!”

“Inform our men about our plan,” John rose up from his chair. “Especially for Godzilla, he is our big guy. While I am going to visit XXW and XxIND.

Cecirria nodded as John move out of the XXX council chamber.

Kingdom 1579 – Nagato, ILS Base

              Indo Legends, an Indonesian alliance whom the majority of the member were from outside Indonesia. Since Vassal became the R4 in that alliance, people from all across nation are allowed to join ILS.

              “Great job, Vassal,” Alif said. “I do not care if you bring more non-Indonesian people here. You have make our land grown.”

              “It was my pleasure, Alif.” Vassal replied. “But I think I need help because I cannot do these managements alone. Flag building, mailing rules, and there are a lot of things that overwhelmed Zuanxi and me.”

              “I will try,” Alif answered. “By the way, the sanctum will be unshielded tomorrow. Do you have a plan?”

              “I have prepared everything, bro. But we have more serious problem,” Vassal explained.

              “And what is that?” Alif asked Vassal.

              “FK alliance,” Vassal said sharply. “They want our pass, but our Central Fortress is exactly in front of it.”

              “It still a long way to go, Vassal,” Alif replied. “You can think about that later.”

              “I believe that we must make preparation as early as possible because FK is no joke, it is the number two alliance in this kingdom.”

              “I know,” Alif said curtly, as he did not like to be counseled.

              “Can you help me out then?” Vassal asked.

              “Just do as your will. I believe everything you do.” Said Alif before he left the chamber, going offline to the real life.

              Vassal was so upset as his leader was too reluctant to do what he should had done. But in the end, he did everything he need to do to cover Alif’s part. He mailed the FK nicely for the pass, before he about to go offline. But suddenly, his best friend Zuanxi and Rune come to pay him a visit.

              “Hey Vassal,” Zuanxi said. “I know you were upset about Alif. I could not agree more with you, but he was the reason behind our success now.”

              “Yeah,” Rune appended. “Without him, we might become a hobo forever”

              Everybody laughed as Rune responded innocently.

              “Thank you for supporting me up,” Vassal was so relieved knowing he is not alone in this case. “Now we just have to wait for FK’s response.”

             

              “You are not going to bargain with a whale don’t you?” Zuanxi asked Vassal.

             

              “I did,” Vassal nodded. “I hope it would be a good news as soon as they reply. Anyway, it is night already, let us call it a day. See you guys tomorrow.”

Kingdom 1579 – Sabacc – XXX, XXA, and XxIND Conference

             

              Three gallant men were discussing something at the roundtable. They knew this conversation could be something integral for their prosperity.

              “If we successfully won the battle with the XXV, then we will have four sanctums for us to be divided,” John said.

              “Tell us the division here and now,” the XxIND leader said.

              “Please chill out, Dias,” John replied the XxIND leader. “I only need one sanctum. You guys can take the rest.”

              “Sound interesting,” the XXW leader looked interested with John’s idea. “However do you think Afina has not forseen this? She is an experienced player.”

              “Surely not,” John said. “We should teach her a lesson. We need to grow as well.”

              “Sounds good,” Dias said, while he was looking on the XXW’s leader gaze “I am in.”

              “Me too,” said the XXW leader, while giving a smile signal towards Dias.

              “Very well,” John said. “Then I will consider this meeting result as final. Let us be prepared tomorrow before the shrine lost its shield.”

              John went back to his horse, heading towards XXX to inform his members that they are going to have a very big war tomorrow.
