THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS

Battle preparation

While examining the map, Jani listened to Queen Agatha's report "Two days ago, precisely on the day of your departure from the Capital. Rohden's forces launch a large-scale attack on the city of Malesah, usually an attack with that Scale can be easily resisted by your brother and his Elite knights, he said, but there's something that makes your brother's defense force helpless and even half his knights must fall in attack this time."

"what is it, Mommy?"

"i also don't understand, but according to Marcus' experience. The attack began with the throwing of a glass bottle that produced a smoke and before long, all the magic of the troops could not be released at all."

"and because Marcus' army is almost all loaded with K.O.M(Kinght Of Magician). They were this time helpless against the Rohden army made up of ordinary people and mercenaries who were experts in the use of Aura Weapons."

The Aura Weapon was a Universal technique commonly used by mercenaries who had no talent of being an Elemental Witch or a K.O.M that was popular throughout the Arca continent. Although developed by those who are not talented, but lately this technique has developed among the mercenaries to be able to compete with the magicians or the K.O.M

that is great news for anyone in this world and with the development of this technique in expected social gap between those who are talented with not a little improved. But unfortunately hope is always not in accordance with reality and this is caused by several countries that use this technique to strengthen their military power and one of them is the Rohden empire.

Queen Iris continued "from the medical examination, the smoke is a kind of poisonous gas that causes the mana pulse in the body of the victim will be blocked for a while. The time period of the effects of the poison varies depending on the strength of the victim. For example, like Marcus who is a Blood Element K.O.M in the intermediate level 5, the effect of the poison on his body only lasts for 12 hours and after that the poison will disappear instantly."

Hearing the report, Jani sighed and said "luckily the effect is not the same as what we found in Dom's house."

"yes, I am also very grateful, but this also greatly affects the battle ahead! If we don't solve this problem, then we will lose!" replied Agatha who found out about the dangerous potion they found in Dom's house earlier.

"quiet Mom, I've been predicting poison use since we found it first and asked some tailors to make a protective mask that is able to ward off any Gas-shaped poison." Replied Jani who pulled out an example of a gas mask he had made in the capital earlier.

Since Queen Iris and Queen Agatha had already used the like, then they believed in its quality. Afterwards, Queen Agatha asked "how much did you bring?"

"not much just 200 pieces. Although I have recruited many tailors, but they are all still in the stage of learning the manufacturing technique first.So, until now only 200 pieces can be available." Reply Jani who took out some boxes containing Gas masks.

"this is far from enough to retake the city of Malesah." Said Queen Agatha who shook her head. But it was immediately rebutted by Queen Iris who said "no, Agatha. It's enough! The strategy is already in my mind."

A moment later Marcus returned to the camp with dust all over his body from his mother's kick that made him fly out of the camp in the meantime, His eyes met Queen Iris's gaze immediately and when Queen Iris saw Marcus, she immediately said to him excitedly "it just so happens that you're back, Marcus. Come here! I want to talk about a strategy capable of reclaiming the city of Malesah with you."

Of course Marcus started to get excited and he happily approached Queen Iris. Jani was also curious about the strategy, but the Queen instead said "for now you can rest in your own camp, Alex. The problem of the city of Malesah must be settled by your brother in charge of guarding it and if he gets help from you, then you and your brother will receive punishment according to the applicable royal punishment."

"alright, I'll go first. Brother Marcus! The spirit!" jani said in support of Marcus.

"okay!"

….

When Jani returns, he does not rest and instead chooses to check the system's GPS features and mark some important locations on a new physical map. Many strange signs are popping up in the GPS feature and one of them is a sign with the shape of a crate with a question mark logo on it.

When Jani asked Zein about the meaning of this sign. Zein instead told him to suppress the mark and his explanation would come out by itself.

From the explanation that Jani got, the sign symbolizes a piece of the puzzle of a treasure Magic object or a pile of other treasures stored in ancient times.

Although Jani is very curious to investigate the puzzle, but he undoes his intention because he won the battle that will soon be carried out and led by himself. Jani again researched the map he had just marked while making a battle strategy later.

While he was seriously researching the map, suddenly there was someone who closed his eyes while saying "guess who this is?"

"one of the most beautiful women created especially for me!"

"hehe.welcome you are right! As a gift I'll give you one kiss!" replies Lisa who hugs Jani's neck and kisses her cheek.

Jani actually wants to pull Lisa and kiss her lips, but because she already knows her shy nature. Jani held back her intention then instead she asked "how? Are you used to 'Wind Killer'?"

Lisa was sent first along with Queen Iris and Queen Agatha to get used to her new rifle. He also helped defend the city of Malesah, but because he was the fiancee of the Crown Prince, he had to be evacuated first along with the rest of the royal family. After leaving the city of Malesah, Lisa has started training to get used to using her rifle until Jani's arrival two days later.

 Lisa replied with a slightly moody face "i think you can already use it, but earlier you said that the highest accuracy rate was 2000 Meters, right?"

"yes, it was made specifically as the first long-range rifle. So, is there a problem with the viewfinder?"

"hmm. I can't believe it's your fault. There may be a problem with this weapon. Let's try one more time and this time I'll be by your side to judge."

Hearing her fiance's suggestion, Lisa got excited again and immediately dragged Jani along while saying "alright! Then let's go!"

...

In the open area, Jani prepares several shooting targets to be used in Lisa's shooting practice. Using his binoculars, Jani looked forward and said to Lisa "alright, you can start!"

"okay!" Lisa is ready to shoot.

*dor!* the sound of the Lisa rifle is very subtle and this is one of the main attractions of the Wind Killer. Not long after Lisa shot, Jani said "Hit! Critical Head!!"

Lisa, who was still in aiming condition, said "it's still within 100 meters, honey. Let's continue!"

"alright!" replied Jani who was still in her binoculars.

Within 1000 meters down, Lisa could still be on target with a single shot. But when the distance began to increase 1000 meters and above, Lisa had to miss several times. Until the target distance passes 1500 meters, Lisa is not able to hit the target target at all.

After seeing all of those things, Jani said "well we stop first! Right now I'm gonna start checking for cents...." Jani did not finish her words as she was currently shocked to see the exhausted Lisa.

Panicked Jani immediately asks for help to take Lisa to the recovery tent and there Lisa finally explains the reason why she can get exhausted. Jani listened to everything and then after that, he concluded by saying "So, your aiming device was broken during the escape two days ago so it can't be connected to the rifle anymore?"

"yes."

"and after that, you practiced using runes to strengthen your vision until you fainted from running out of Mana?"

Lisa, who saw her fiance's face wrinkle, tried to calm her down "Darling, I'm sorry, okay?"

Jani just sighed and said "well, I'm not angry, but promise me that you can't force yourself like this anymore, okay?"

"okay! I understand!"

"then what if I give you a new crosshairs and teach you how to use them?"

After that Jani immediately issued a telescope aiming tool that was able to enlarge the distance 12 times and then attach it to the Lisa rifle. Just like Jani, Lisa is a person who is able to learn something quite quickly and it is evident from her brief training with Jani, she is able to hit targets within 2 Km more without missing a single bit.

Satisfied to see Lisa being able to use her rifle well, Jani leaves Lisa to return to training while she gathers the nobles who are in her group to strategize together and check their preparations.

...

In the big tent Jani gathered with the nobles and there was one thing that surprised him that all the nobles were already present and none of them came too late.

To his surprise, Jani deliberately said "I don't expect you all to be here on time. And when I invited you to the capital for my coronation, none of you came for your various reasons."

One of the old nobles said "haha, don't take it too hard, Your Majesty! We just still believe that the current crown prince will not last as long as his two predecessors. So, many of us thought that our arrival to the capital was a waste."

"alright, I can't be angry with you either and this is also a less important thing to talk about right now. All right, let's start discussing our strategy!"

As planned, the royal army was divided into two parts and would attack in two different places, the Eastern border and the Northeast border.

Due to Marcus' defeat in defending the city two days ago, the two King queens switched positions with each other to win the battle this time around.

On Marcus' side, he will be assisted by his mother, Queen Agatha. Now it is replaced with Queen Iris who is able to fend off the enemy's poisonous smoke attacks with her Ice magic.  

Then on Jani's side there was now Queen Agatha who possessed immense combat power by relying on her Blood element Magic. This battle is just about to start tomorrow, but there is no rule that states that the battle must be fought when the sun is in the sky and that is what Jani wants to take advantage of.
