The Golden Throne

"Interesting. So then, let's try it?"

"Please, you first."

They entered the shop. It was quite busy, but what was to be expected? The whole city was shaken because of the fight in front of the mage tower. All the citizens were afraid to even set foot out of their house. Only the workers went to their shops, but even they were very hesitant.

Liu Feng looked at the boy behind the counter. Although he could replicate fastfood of Earth so much, one of the biggest advancements that he could not emulate so quickly was a computer. That would take years of time, because he would be the person who would be doing the brunt of the work. 

Regardless, the waiter wrote down the order that Liu Feng had given him.

"Cool girlfriend man, you are lucky. But you should be careful. There are a few who don't like it when kids like you try to dress up like the Young Lord. They might beat you up. And, with yesterday's incident, it feels like even this place is not safe right now.", he sighed.

"Even? What do you mean?", Liu Feng's eyebrow was raised.

"Which rock are you living under? There have been rumours of violence from cities in the west. Did you not hear?", the waiter told him as he went about preparing the meal, going to the back.

"Is this true?", Liu Feng asked Amelia.

"I think so, yeah. I did not care much about all that in the last month.", she shrugged.

"Looks like the demons are difficult to control. West means Glade right.", he said as he reached his hands forward to take the tray of food from the waiter. Reaching from his pocket, he handed the waiter a few bronze coins. Smiling at him, the couple took a seat at one of the small tables.

"We have to be our own waiter? Why would you want to do such a disgraceful act?", Amelia raised her eyebrow.

"Nothing disgraceful about that. We are just lucky to be born to kings. These people were not so lucky. That's the only difference between us and him. Nothing else. No job is disgraceful.", Liu Feng shook his head as he unwrapped a burger and took a bite.

"Oh god! I miss this taste so much. If only I had some cola to go with this.", he shook his head with ecstacy. Seeing this, Amelia was intrigued, and she also took a bite. Her eyes widened with shock.

"What is this?", she asked, covering her mouth not to let any of the sauces drip away.

Liu Feng smiled. "That is what is called a burger."

Later that day,

Liu Feng, Liu Man, and Damascus were in the City Lord Mansion. They were all in the room that was repurposed to be a war room. On a large table was the map of the four countries, as well as a few others. 

"Since Elvan does not share any borders with Glade, the army will have to be coming in from Aegon. We will have to assume that Darv will be hostile during this invasion. We will have to steer clear of it."

"Dilheim is going to be our gathering point. I have already ordered all the resources be dedicated to making a much larger city wall between the inner city and the outer city. That way, Dilheim will be separated into three parts. I can give the middle city to the army to stay.", Liu Feng said.

"But the main problem still remains. How do we kill the demons efficiently? All my men are barely in the third or fourth circle. Do you really think that they will be able to kill demons like the children here can?"

"I will supply the required weapons for that. I will require Elvan to send fifty master magic engravers to Dilheim for that.", Liu Feng assured his father.

"For what? These people are the lifeblood of Elvan. I need to see what circles you want to use."

"All the circles the Elvans will engrave will be of my own making. And, we will be making this weapon."

Liu Feng took out a gun.

"That? What is that peculiar device? What will that possibly do to a demon?", Damascus laughed.

Liu Feng went out the balcony and pointed the gun at the sky and shot the gun. A huge last of energy shot forward, and slowly dissipated after going forward for about hundred metres.

"That's the gun that Amelia showed me! You can mass produce that? I thought that it was an ancient artifact."

"Anything is possible, Your Majesty. When even magic is possible, why do you restrict your minds to such restrictive thoughts? We are far too reliant on mana, and the ancients. After we are done with the war, we must work towards a more important goal, the improvement of infrastructure without the dependence of mana."

Liu Feng revealed his final true goal.

"Are you mad? Do you think that we can reach this point of civilization without mana?"

"And what will happen in the case of a demon invasion? A proper one. We will be left defenceless without anything to defend. We are too reliant on mana, and that will become our weak point. I don't need your help. I just need a lot of young minds and a lot of resources."

"We'll take care of this later. We have a war that we have to take care of. One thing at a time. You are always so impatient.", Liu Man knocked Liu Feng on his head.

"Fine. Now, we need a lot of intel on who exactly will command the army. The phoenix already killed a demon general."

"A phoenix?", both Liu Man and Damascus shouted out.

"Oh, I didn't tell you? The red-haired woman you saw in the mage tower was a phoenix. Sorry for forgetting to mention that to you."

"Sorry for mentioning it? Do you have any idea how much that signifies?"

"What do you mean?"
