Kingly Adventures

HUDSON HILLS, DEREK REGION, SECTOR G-08, TORGUA PROVINCE:

Hudson Hills was the most popular hill resort and restaurant in the Derek region of Torgua Province. Alexander had decided to once again tour his kingdom in disguise. He just hoped that nobody would spoil his mood right now. Alexander had taken the most beautiful spot of the restaurant for himself. The view was truly magnificent. The resort designers had created many artificial waterfalls which were set up in such way that many big and small rainbows popped up randomly when the sunlight shined down upon the flowing water.

It was always a suspense about how many colours would appear in the next rainbow. The whole hill was covered in short shrubs and small trees with light moss covered boulders placed here and there. There was also a slight mist present in the surroundings The scene was more beautiful at night when moon shined giving the water a silver glow. There were also abundant fireflies living on the hill which illumimated the forests in light. Alexander had come to this place on recommendation of Jack Gir, who was a native of this region. Alexander had also brought Carter and Li with him. Alexander wanted to get a feeling of dining in a high class restaurant with friends. Yes, Alexander was friends with the three outside their respective roles as even a King needs a social life.

As they were eating the full Continental meal, a very big holo-screen activated. The holo-screen were placed in such a way that all could see it clearly. A local news channel was being displayed which had a red-skinned Twi'lek as the anchor. Alexander spoke up, " One has to say that all the Twi'lek females look good, no matter what skin colour they have. That's the reason why they had to undergo such horrible treatment in all the sections of the society. They and other downtrodden races were the ones who got most benefits out of ȧssimilation of star wars world. The news must be very important to broadcast it like this. Has something happened in this region? Let's see."

GENERAL P.OV. :

The beauty of anchor was enough to attract everyone's attention to her. The anchor spoke up in a soft but serious voice, " I am Geera Thomas, The Host of this Debate Show and I will be giving you a very important news which is probably going to change our lives, before moving on to our panelists. Generally, we introduce them first but the news is important enough that we are going to delay that part."

Geera took a deep breadth and said in a loud voice, " THE IMPERIAL PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT HAS FORWARDED AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF NEWS. OUR EMPEROR, ALEXANDER FORTIS, HAS MADE HIS INTENTION KNOWN TO THE TOP BRASS OF THE EMPIRE THAT HE WANTS EVERY CITIZEN OF HIS EMPIRE TO ACHIEVE THE SAINT REALM OF CULTIVATION. I REPEAT, OUR EMPEROR WANTS ALL HIS SUBJECTS TO ACHIEVE SAINT REALM OF CULTIVATION. WE DON'T KNOW THE REASON BEHIND THIS AS OUR SOURCES DON'T KNOW ANY MORE. BUT THE EXPERTS THINK THAT SOMETHING BIG IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. LAST TIME, WHEN THE WHOLE KINGDOM HAD FINISHED BEING UPGRADED WITH QUANTUM METAL, HIS MAJESTY CONQUERED THE WHOLE STAR WARS GALAXY....I AM PERSONALLY VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. BUT, THE QUESTION ARISES, WHAT BIG PLANS HIS MAJESTY HAS ? WILL THERE BE A WAR WITH THE CULTIVATORS? WILL OUR TECHNOLOGY BECOME A BOON OR A BANE IF A WAR OCCURS? THE CULTIVATORS OUTNUMBER US MASSIVELY SO HOW CAN BE THIS WAR FOUGHT.....IF ANY WAR OCCURS. LET'S MOVE TO OUR PENALISTS FOR THEIR OPINION.....First to come is Sara Menon, a very priminent War Analist who has written quite a few research papers on the utility of Megacarriers in potential wars."

The screen split into six parts to show the five penalists and a brief description about them and their prominent works was shown below their images. A young Torguta spoke up, " Thank You, Geera for inviting me for this very important debate. I personally, think that if a war occurs we will be able to win but it would be a slow and bloody conflict. Our best advantage is our vastly superior technology and the fact that once a planet or world surface is conquered, it permanently becomes the part of our kingdom. But, the war will be very bloody as the cultivators generally don't worry about lives of others so they will try to drown our forces with numbers.

The other disadvantages for us would be that the distance between the world surfaces is huge and our ships cannot travel in hyperspace in the cultivation world while cultivators have teleportation formations which can transfer them to other world surfaces in a few moments or hours if the distance is big enough. Controlling these teleportation formations is a must to even out the scales. Another disadvantage is that our people have not participated in any bloody conflicts so we are quite inexperienced in this field while every competent and powerful cultivator has a kill count in tens. They don't hesitate in killing anyone who stands in their way so our greenhorn soldiers will be at a disadvantage. Our best bet would be to slowly take over this world without alerting anyone as His Majesty had done in Star Wars world."

Geera spoke up, " Thank You for sharing your thoughts on this matter, Ms. Menon. Now, we will ask for the opinion of our other panelists." Alexander didn't pay any more attention to the Live Debate and resumed eating his dinner. By the time, they reached to the end of their food marathon, the debate was still going strong. Alexander spoke up, " That Menon woman raised some valid points, what are your thoughts on that, Carter?"

Carter replied, " Her points were good but we have already covered these bases. As the world laws of cultivation world don't suppress magic, it would be our best bet in fighting the war with cultivators. An overpowered 'Nightmare Charm' coupled with few confusing charms targeting their senses would be enough to make most of the cultivators attack their own people in fear and confusion. It would be the cultivators with powerful wills that would pose a problem to our forces. As for conquering worlds, a large scale compulsion charm would be enough to force 90 percent of the normal people and cultivators to submit to our kingdom."

Alexander interrupted, " Your believe that magic would be able to solve all our problems is not correct. They are many ways to counter magic. A strong enough stimuli would be enough to undo all the spells you plan to use. Put this countering plan into the trash bin and start focusing on discretely taking control of all the galaxies present in this universe. We have millions of years to accomplish this task. Don't stagnate the cultivation of our forces, those who can ascend to Divine Realm can do so after they conquer 1,000 world surfaces for the kingdom. This will only take a few decades for team of HighGod Realm cultivators. The idle age of cultivation is much higher for my subjects so a few decades would not matter. This will serve as a training exercise for them. The Divine World is much more dangerous."

Carter replied, " Your Highness!!! We will lose the most exprienced men of conquest campaign if this order is implemented."

Alexander said, " It will be good for the younger ones to gain exprience in such matters. A few lives will be lost but it will do good for the inexperienced recruits."

Carter replied, " As You wish, Your Highness!!!"

Alexander nodded and finished his dinner. As the dinner was given by Jack, he was the one to pay for it. Nobody paid any attention to the desolate expression on his face as all the four were heavy eaters. Jack glared at Carter and Li as he cannot ask Alexander for money but in the end, he had to foot the bill. Alexander had a very pleasant sleep that night.

Early, in the morning, Alexander arrived before the Realm gate and tried to search for the origin verse of the cultivation world he was in. It took him a few hours but he was able to find it. Alexander closed down the realm gate established in The Martial Spirit World and re-established it on a desolate planet in the origin world. Alexander entered the Realm gate after confirming that no one had entered his entry into the origin verse.
