“In the northern valley of the Human Kingdom…
The environment is calm and silent, with remains of war break out on the border…
Dead bodies are lying on the ground, and rain is pouring heavily with no signs of stopping.
Dome is sitting inside the mess room with his soldiers, and they are having dinner. Everyone has tension clearly visible on their faces.
“What happened, back then… Can you tell me? I am new on the post.” A soldier asked as she looked at the other soldier.
The old soldier turned towards the new soldier and looked at him with a grim expression.
“I-It’s okay, if you don’t want to tell me. I mean who wants to kno-”
“King Arthur banned wine after an incident that took place two days ago. The weather here is cold, and soldiers are practically living on wine.
Our bodies won’t work without Wine, and when King Arthur banned it, we were pretty depressed. We didn’t know how to deal with the cold weather here, and our heads started hurting after 1 day only.
But, we were dealing with it pretty good… Until those dragon fuckers started drinking right in front of us. They started tempting us with wine and hot girls.
Our cravings started jumping out of our bodies, and one of our soldiers lost his will. He ran across the barrier, and as soon as he crossed the barrier, they killed him like a fly.
King Arthur couldn’t take any more of that crap, he crossed the barrier and started killing them one by one.
In just 10 minutes, he killed over 3 thousand soldiers, but suddenly, an original dragon came from their camp and released his fire breath on King Arthur.
His armor couldn’t take it, his body got burned, and he died on the spot. Although I never saw his body, those who saw him… Told me that he was dead.
That’s why everyone is so serious around here, and those dragon fuckers are celebrating our king’s death.” The soldier explained.
“Wait… If King Arthur is dead, then who is leading us?” The new soldier asked.
“I don’t know, but for now… Sir, Dome is all we have.”
“Fuck… We are doomed.”
“Yeah, we are… That’s why, the environment is so tense.”
Suddenly Dome stood up from his chair and broke a glass…
Crack
“Everyone listen carefully… We lost our king today, and we are sitting here like cowards filling our pits. Are we really that pathetic?
Can’t we even fight those bastards and avenge our king?” Dome asked as he looked at everyone, but no one spoke anything; they just kept looking at their food like shameless cowards.
“Okay well, I guess… I have your answers. I am going to fight those fuckers… Alone, and I will not back down until I die. You guys are a shame to this kingdom.” Dome shouted as he picked up his giant hammer from the ground and started walking towards the exit gate of the mess.
Knock-knock-Knock
As soon as Dome touched the door’s handle, someone started knocking on the door from the other side.
Dome was confused; he didn’t know who would knock at the mess door and in the middle of the night.
Everyone stood up from their places and pointed their weapons towards the door of the mess.
Dome looked at his soldiers for one second as he nodded his head towards them and started twisting the handle to open the door.
Click
Dome opened the door and looked at the tall figure that was standing on the doorsteps.
This man’s figure wasn’t quite clear as there was darkness outside, and only two red glowing eyes could be seen from inside.
“W-Who are you?” Dome asked with a confident face, but in his heart, he was scared of the man’s aura.
The unknown man stepped inside the room, and his face was revealed; this guy was none other than Mike himself.
“Wow… That’s a very warm welcome.” Mike said as he looked at all the soldiers, pointing their weapons towards him.
“A Vampire? What do you want?” Dome asked with a confused expression as he lowered his weapon, and so did the rest of the soldiers.
“Hello, Soldier. I am here on the orders of Madam Derein, and I am your new Vice-Commander. Name is Mike.” Mike spoke as he tapped Mike’s right shoulder with a smile.
“Wait… Vice-commander? How can you be the Vice-Commander… I am the Vice-Commander of this Army, or did I get promoted to the Chief-Commander of this army?” Dome asked with a confused expression.
“Don’t dream that big, Soldier Boy. King Arthur is coming back.
So, you guys better get outside, or he will get angry. Do you understand that?” Mike explained.
“King Arthur is dead, you fool.” Dome spoke.
“Here…” Mike spoke as he tossed a crystal ball towards Dome.
“What is this?”
“DOME, IT’S ME ARTHUR. CAN YOU HEAR ME?” Suddenly Arthur’s voice resounded from the other side.
“S-Sir, Arthur? Is that really you?” Dome asked with an unbelievable and shocked expression.
“Yes… Listen to that vampire man and get outside. I am coming back to the camp in just 10 minutes.” Arthur spoke as he breaks the crystal by throwing it.
“Now, do you understand? Get outside or…” Mike spoke as he looked at Dome with a smile.
“….But it’s pouring out there. The soldier won’t survive long if they were to stand for another hour in that chilling rain.” Dome spoke.
“I don’t know what rain are you talking about?” Mike spoke as he pointed towards the outside of the mess.
All the other soldiers looked outside the dome and noticed that it wasn’t raining anymore.
“What the? It was just raining a moment ago-” As soon as Dome looked up, he noticed that rain was still pouring but the mess is now covered with a big invisible mana dome.
One by one soldiers stepped out of the mess and started making lines in order to show their manners to the king.
