The Golden Throne

"Yes, let's start. I did not come all the way here for nothing.", the short man, king of dwarves said.

"First, I will have to address my father. Father, do you know about such things called demons? They are vile creatures that want to destroy our continent and take away the mana of the continent. They had previously come to Dicain thousands of years ago, but during that time, the spirits made contracts with all the residents to battle the demons. I am afraid that that same situation has come now."

Liu Man did not have the astonished expression that Liu Feng was expecting.

"Go on. If it was just this, a simple call would suffice.", he said calmly.

"Yes, the reason I have called you is bigger. It is to inform you that most of Glade is compromised, and the information that the Glades are with the demons will be coming out to the general public anytime soon. That means that they will be prepared to wage a war anytime soon.", Liu Feng said with a grave face.

"What do you mean the Glade kingdom is compromised?", the king of the dwarves.

"Well, I was stuck in the magical forest for longer than expected. During that time, I encountered a demon. I sent away Amelia and went against the demon. It has revealed this crucial information at that time. Along with that, I found these two devil stones on both Jean Klein, as well as Steve Klein."

Liu Feng placed the two devil stones that he got on the table. Finally,  the kings of Elvan and Darv changed their expressions. They looked at the pitch black stones with quivering lips.

Liu Man changed his expression. "So this is what you meant by nothing serious happened? You said that nothing happened at all. And now you are saying that you met demons? What happened in the forest? Did you lose your mind or something? And to think that you brought two other kings here to discuss this. I am sorry for this.", Liu Man looked at the other two kings and apologized.

"Shut up, Liu Man. Your son has more sense than you. Liu Feng, are you saying that the demons are back, and a second demon war is underway?", Damascus asked Liu Feng seriously.

"What the hell are you talking about. Demons, war, you can't possibly buy into this charade, can you? Damascus. Surely you know better than that.", Liu Man said.

"You are a human, Liu Man. You, humans, forgot the past, and now that is going to come back to bite us.", Damascus shook his head. 

"What are you talking about? What is this? Liu Feng. You better explain yourself.", Liu Man said, flustered.

"Demons, father. Demons are coming, and they want to destroy all life in this continent to claim the land as their own. Last month, when I was in the magical forest with Amelia, I was confronted by thousands of demons. These demons are much, much more powerful than our soldiers, and there are more where they come from. If I am not wrong, a war is coming soon, and it is going to rock our world if we cannot win.", Liu Feng said solemnly. He took the devil stones off of the table and pocketed them, as if he was afraid that someone would take them away.

"We are not prepared. The fighting capacity of the continent has reduced by half because stupid humans do not remember their ancestral findings.", The king of Darv said.

"Do not blame it on us. I do not even know what you are talking about, but I am sure that you had something to do with it. If the humans lost anything, it is probably because we lost it because of wars with races like yours.", Liu Man raged, as he stood up in a fit.

"You are blaming it on us now? Haha, laughable. This is all a joke. If the last line of defence is like this, then I think it is better that we surrender to the demons and beg for mercy.", the king of Darv said. All of a sudden, an earthen glow came from the king of Darv, and he fell to the ground somehow. Liu Feng looked at him with shock.

"You are contracted?", he muttered. But, he regained his composure and looked at the fight between the kings.

Liu Feng shook his head and said, "I am sure that all kings have heard of my city, Dilheim?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Well, nothing much. Just a solution to our problems, that's all. Have you heard rumours that a master was living in the mage tower?"

The Kings nodded, not understanding where Liu Feng was going with this.

"Well, this master is truly the real deal. He is a soul from the ancient age where mana thrived and even humans held contracts with the spirits. He is the one who has taught me so much about mana, that I have entrusted upon him the responsibility of creating an army for defending the continent. This war is nothing like the previous one. We know how dangerous the demons can be, and we know where they are, so we should be able to stop them."

The kings looked at each other and said, "We will have to see the master before believing anything."

"Of Course. What I just ask of you is, if you like the direction that the army is heading, please send all the orphans overflowing in your respective country over to Dilheim. This sort of training is extremely secretive, and none of us cannot afford to let it leak out. We will have to foster loyalty from a young age, and I am sure that if we take care of Glade immediately, then we will have more than enough time to prepare properly."

"Fine then. I am exhausted. I do not have the strength to travel for another three hours.", Liu Man said as he sat back in his chair.

"Three hours? I can take you to Dilheim in just forty-five minutes, Your HIghnesses.", Liu Feng's smile curled up.

"Forty-Five minutes? Do you know what you are talking about?", Liu Man asked.

"Shall we go there now? I have prepared for your accommodations there."
