THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS
The past of Dom Blackwolf
General Dom Blackwolf was an ordinary boy who lived with his mother in a small town. Since childhood he was known as a high-ambition child and always wanted to master something. As he was a teenager his talent in leading a group came into view, with the encouragement of his comrades he made a mercenary group called 'Wolf Fang Marcenaries'.
It did not take long, the group began to be known throughout the city for their greatness in carrying out missions without ever failing at all. This made a noble who led the city interested in recruiting dom and his group to become his men.
Of course, Dom, who since childhood had never been a member of anyone, rejected the offer of the nobility because he only wanted to rule instead of being ruled. The nobleman also does not accept that he is rejected by Dom and begins to abuse Dom and his group.
At first Dom never cared about the nuisance of the nobleman, but when he heard his mother was captured by the nobleman, he attacked the manor house blindly and killed everyone in his way.
Although he managed to kill the nobleman and take his mother away, but in the end his mother died of blood loss due to injuries that Dom did not realize.
Before his mother's death, he said to dom "boy, go to the capital and find the head of the Lester family to collect his promise to mother!"
After performing the funeral ceremony his mother dom intends to go to the capital, but it is not so done because she has just become a fugitive of the kingdom of Westeria due to killing the noble. Dom decides to go to the Rhoden Empire to avoid the pursuit of the Westeria royal army.
In the Rhoden Empire, Dom strives to become stronger. Perhaps because his talent was not for strength he only managed to become a late level 3 mage and swordsman at the same level. But his skill at leading was excellent until he was recruited into the Rhoden Empire.
Unwilling to repeat the same incident, he accepted the offer and began working in the imperial army. After 1 year as an imperial army, he was knighted and given the authority to lead 50 troops.
After becoming Dom's knight asked permission to make a pilgrimage to his mother's grave and when he finished making the pilgrimage, he saw a man who came to his town to find himself.
The man was none other than the new king of Westeria, Roman Van Lester. Roman invites Dom to go to the capital with him, on the Roman journey telling about the identity of Dom's father, the previous king of the kingdom of Westeria. Dom is shocked about his father's identity and also regrets his decision to leave the Rhoden empire.
If he used to follow his mother's advice to go to the capital, maybe now he was already a royal family or king of the kingdom of Westeria considering he was the first child of the previous king.
Dom told me about his mother's last words to Roman. Hearing Dom's mother's will, Roman said "to make amends for my father's past mistakes, you can freely choose a position in my kingdom."
Dom did not deny the golden opportunity and given his skill at leading an army, he chose to become a general in the kingdom of Westeria. After he became a General, he secretly sent letters to his superiors in the Rhoden Empire.
His superior orders Dom to slowly destroy Westeria from the inside and he also promises Dom that he can become king of Westeria with the support of the empire.
Dom follows the orders of his superiors and begins a plan to stage a coup since he first served as General. Although his plans were often failed by Roman kings, he did not give up and continued to make plans while gathering the silent support of the nobles in the capital Westeria by bribing them with wealth.
...
Inside the Justice Palace prison, dom and his family were detained and interrogated one by one to gather information about who was behind the coup plot.
Dom awakens with pain all over his body due to the interrogation sessions he has been in since he was arrested. Dom opened his eyes and saw a man who had just dueled with him yesterday, the man was none other than the third prince, Alex Van Lester.
Jani was sitting in front of Dom while reading the information that the Justice Palace warden had gathered from the other Blackwolf family members.
When he saw Dom awake, Jani put down the paper he read and said "good morning, great general, Dom Blackwolf! What about that question and answer session you did last night? Was fun?"
Dom replied in a hoarse voice "a little bit, but more pain than pleasant."
"haha.maybe because you didn't follow the rules of the game." Jani said with a laugh then he took out the paper he had read and then he said to Dom.
"all right, let's end this with one question. Sir Knight Dom Blackwolf, who is the superior who ordered you to destroy this kingdom from within!?"
Dom is surprised that the third prince already knows his true identity. After a moment of surprise, dom did not reply and simply lowered his head. Seeing Dom unwilling to answer, Jani stood up from her chair and said
"if you don't answer it's okay. I've got the information I want and the question just now is just an extra question."
As Jani was about to leave the interrogation room, Dom moved his teeth and answered the extra question "Gerald Von Leonhart, that's my boss's name."
Jani looked at Dom for a moment then he walked towards the exit of the interrogation room, but before Jani came out suddenly the head warden of the Justice Palace entered the room while carrying a letter that came from the royal palace.
When Jani finished reading the letter, he asked the warden "is all the preparations done?"
"we're preparing it, prince." Answer the warden.
"good! Then let's do the execution immediately!" jani said as she walked out towards the courtyard of the Palace of Justice.
....
Jani, who had come out of Justice Palace, walked straight to Brad who was inspecting the rifle while telling him "is this a magical rifle that will be mass-produced?"
Brad looked at Jani and answered her "right! I don't know where you got the idea, but it's an incredible weapon! With a bullet that the front is made of a mixture of iron and silver that is commonly used as Armor raw materials and also the back is made of fire crystals that have low explosive power, and also the back is made of fire crystals that have low explosive power, but that's enough to make the front bullet go very fast and it's expected to penetrate regular armor."
"this is our first rifle, Brad! In the future I'll bring you a better plan than this." Said Jani promising another draft earth weapon to Brad.
"haha.I'll look forward to it, prince!" brad answered happily.
As Jani was inspecting the rifle Brad was carrying, the warden approached him and said, "prime prince, the three best archers of the kingdom have arrived at your request."
"good, you take care of the others first."
"well, prince." Then the chief warden left the three archers with the prince.
Jani put the shotgun back on the table and turned to face them and said "before your introduction, I want to ask you one thing. Have you ever killed anyone?"
"""ever, prince!!""" answer the three archers simultaneously.
"then it'll be easier. The reason I called you here is to be the executioner in the execution of the 12 main members of the Blackwolf family. Are you ready to do my job?"
Three different expressions were displayed by the three best archers of this kingdom. Some were very surprised, some felt very happy, and some felt nothing but his gaze was always on the rifle placed on the table beside Jani.
According to Alex's memories, he knew two of the three best archers. The one who reacted greatly shocked was the knight captain of the royal archer army and the one whose gaze was always on the shotgun was one of the students who had just graduated from the royal academy with a rank of 7.
For one more person, even in Alex's memory he doesn't exist, but judging from his clothes, guessed he was a mercenary and the reason he looked happy when appointed as an executioner was probably because he had a grudge against the Blackwolf family.
"i'm ready, prince." Said the former student of the 7th ranked royal academy.
"i will gladly do, your highness the prince!." Said the mercenary with spirit.
Two people are ready to do it. Jani turned to look at another one of the hesitant archer knight captains and asked him "Sir William, aren't you ready to kill your former superior?"
"it's not like that, prince!, but is this not too hasty to carry out the execution today?"
"this is my father's order. Anyway, if you're willing to do it, I'll probably forget that you were supposed to have bought slaves through the Blackwolf family, how?"
Upon hearing the threat from Jani, William gritted his teeth and he replied resignedly "well, prince. I'll do it."
"before you become executioners, I would like to introduce you to this newly developed weapon." Jani said to them while explaining about the magical rifle that will be used as an execution tool later.
After explaining to them how to use it, Jani made a simple demonstration. He started in a ready-to-shoot position and then set his breath and then started the first shot.
*DORR...*
His voice was loud enough that all the officers on duty ran over to see what was happening in the front courtyard of the Justice Palace. Seeing everyone gathered together, Jani said loudly.
"YOU ALL HEAR THIS IS GOOD!!, this is a secret weapon that has been developed by the kingdom, let no one tell anyone because if I hear the news about this weapon spreading, all of you here will be arrested on suspicion of being spies of another kingdom, do you all understand!?"
everyone in the front yard immediately knelt down and said in unison "WE UNDERSTAND, YOUR HIGHNESS THE PRINCE!!!"
"good! Now continue your respective work."
Everyone resumed their previous work then when Jani wanted to continue his conversation with the previous three archers, suddenly from behind Jani heard the sound of people laughing quite loudly.
"aha!! Prince! Look at this, this magical rifle could actually pierce through the thick Armor of a shield knight!. If this weapon appears on the battlefield, then make sure it will be the most fearsome weapon! Haha..!!" said Brad while carrying an Armor that was targeted earlier.
"hmm, I was expecting it, but it still has many flaws..." Jani said in response to Brad's words.
After talking to Brad about the shortcomings, Jani turned to the three archers before and said "alright, as you can see. I want you guys to get used to this gun in less than two hours, okay?"
"""ready! Prince!!""" they said the three of them simultaneously.
