Collide: Two Realities Become One

Part 18: Possible Peace?

AL KHAZAR
SENATE CHAMBERS

"What has happened?"

"The green men has been non-stop attacking our supply carts to aid our troops, and the attack on elbe has been a total failure! What are you doing your majesty?"

"He's right! Is the empire doomed?! We cannot win this war! We need to surrender!"

"We've lost almost 150,000 men! We cannot speed train anymore troops their performance is proving horrible in battle! We need more time to train them!"

"We dont have a choice zeku! The enemy is killing our forces too fast than we can replenish them!"

"We're running out of slaves for manual labor! We dont have enough farmers to maintain our farms and the blacksmiths cannot keep up resupplying our troops, our economy is slowly going down we need to do something!"

"SILENCE!" The king yelled in anger, his voice echoed through the silent room, the nobles and senators looked at him sitting on his throne awaiting for another word to come out of his mouth.

Molt gave a soft sigh, "i understand our situation.. we are in desperate times, and i still have not seen any news coming from the harkans, but i promise everyone they will come i am certain.."

"You said that once your majesty and yet they haven't come! We are turning skeptical and we need to have another plan!" A noble spoke out.

And then another, "the green men has massacred and taken our land, italica and elbe is now our enemy and soon more of our allies will follow their footstep we must do something quick!"

"I know.." the king said trying not to get the pent up stress get to him, "give me time to figure this out.. i promise.."

"THAT WILL NOT BE NEEDED FATHER!!" Zorzal's words echoed through the hallway.

Heavy armored knights forcefully opened the senate chamber's doors where zorzal walked inside with 4 slave servants holding his personal belongings, "father!" Zorzal raised his arm, "i have come for you today to reveal to you my greatest invention for war something that the harkans can be impressed by.."

"Is that so? Show me.." molt said.

Zorzal looked at the soldier behind his shoulder and made a gesture on his hand, the soldier then yelled orders at other soldiers who are not in view of any of the nobles and senators sight, but they heard one strong thud after another. And to their horror an ogre emerged out of the doors which too shocked the king, an ogre corrupted by dark magic with chains locked on almost everywhere on its body making sure it couldn't go away or even massacre the senators.

"This father is my weapon.. something that will finally defeat these damn.. marines.. or whatever they call themselves, they'll bow down to me and ill prove on how worthy i am to sit on your throne.." zorzal said confidently while a 10 foot monster stood behind him.

Molt was used to Zorzal's shenanigans but this takes it to the next level, they would have never expected for zorzal to actually use dark magic on his little experiment on creating superweapons but here they were face to face against a corrupted beast. The senators were in awe as something that big was obeying zorzal's orders as if it was loyal to him which kind of made some senators and nobles worried for their safety.
