The blood king

"alright boy, from today, i will be teaching you." old gray said. "you said that you want to get to a higher ranking faster, which means you have to learn a lot of things in a short amount of time." he continued, as levi nodded. "so for the next few days, i will cram as much information about inscriptions into your head as it can take, and hopefully, your seed of knowledge will begin to grow. if it does, things will be a lot smoother. but don't expect this to be easy, boy, this is going to be hell for you." as old gray said this, a dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes.

...

in a forest, multiple tents made from different cloths stood. " General, are we going back to the imperial city?" a large soldier clad in pitch black armer stood before a 16 year old boy, who was lazily lying on a makeshift bed. "yes. since our training is finished, we will return. i want to see how my two brothers are doing, after all." the boy said. "second prince! your highness!" a sudden shout caused the boy to turn his head. "did i not tell you to call me general?" the boy asked, slightly displeased. "ah! please forgive me general!" the soldier kneeled. "so? what did you want?" the second prince asked. "yes! the scouts found a small group of soldiers!" the soldier said. "a small group of soldiers? so what?" the second prince asked. "they were wearing dark green armer! they are most likely from the heavenly dragon continent!" the soldier said, slightly panicking.

"hou, so those fools actually have the balls to send their soldiers to my cloud continent?" a wide grin was plastered on the second prince's face as he walked out of the tent. "suuu...ATTENTION!" he sucked in a breath before shouting. "Greneral! please give us your orders!" all 10, 000 soldiers gathered in only a few seconds. "the training is over and we are going back to the imperial city." the second prince said with a smile. "the training is over? ahh! i actually survived that hellish training?!" some of the soldiers began crying. "but! before we go back, we will be taking a little jog!" the prince shouted. "ready the horses, and prepare to move out!" he ordered. "as you command, general!" the soldiers started preparing. "time to catch us some rats." the second prince said, a bloodthirsty smile on his face. "um, general, it was only a group of about 100 or so people you know, do you really need to take the whole black wind army?" the soldier who reported the incident asked. "they haven't had fun in a while, so this should make them feel better! also, i want to see if the training had a lasting effect." the second prince said.

"preparations have been completed, general! we are ready to move out at any time!" the soldiers shouted in unison. "alright, men! the training has been hard on you, so lets have some fun!" the second prince shouted after he got onto his war horse. "tch, the one i would like to fight is the general..." yeah, he made us go through hell" but no matter how hard we tried, i don't think we would be able to beat him." the soldiers grumbled. after riding for about half an hour, they arrived in a rocky land. in the distance, tents were set up, with smoke rising from the camp. "looks like they made themselves at home." the second prince said lightly, the soldiers listened silently. "but....do you remember me inviting them in?" he looked at them and asked. "no!"they replied. " and what do you do with uninvited guests?" he asked again. "kill them! burn them! chop them to pieces! rip out their guts!" the soldiers chanted, as a dark air of death covered them. " let us go introduce ourselves to our uninvited guests!" the second prince shouted.

rumble!

the ground trembled as the soldiers charged at the camp. "enemy attack! enemy attack!" one of the soldiers at the camp saw a large dust cloud and shouted at the top of his voice. the soldiers at the camp readied their defenses in no time. "do you think you can stop me with just you? listen men! leave at least one alive! slaughter the rest!" the second prince shouted. "understood!" the soldiers replied. shing! as theycloser to the camp, the second prince drew his sword. boom! qi erupted from his body, as he slashed out, causing a large burst of wind to mince the soldiers that were blocking his way into blood mist. "you-you brat! i'll kill you!" the commander of the small group of soldiers charged angrily at the second prince. "general!" a soldier shouted. boom! both of the commanders arms were blown off with ease. "since when do i need you to worry about me? stop his bleeding ans clean up the rest of these fools accordingly!" the second prince ordered.

a few minutes later, all remaining soldiers from the divine dragon country were taken care of. inside a tent. "tell me what you know. i'm feeling generous so, after a few hours of torturing you, i might give you a painless death." the second prince sat lazily, as he looked down at the now armless enemy commander. "h-hah-ha...yo-you think t-that you won, y-you brat? he-hehe, y-you d-don't know anything!" the commander said, as he endured the pain.

crack!

"do you really think that you can bite off your tongue in my presence? ridiculous. also, i don't know anything? well, after a few hours, or days, depending on how long you last, what i know will most likely increase in folds!" the second prince said, after breaking the commander's jaw. "alright, gag him, we are going back the imperial city, before sundown!" the prince ordered. "but general, do we really need to gag him? you already broke his jaw...." one of the remaining soldiers asked. "i know, but wouldn't it hurt to be gagged with a broken jaw? since he refused my kindness, i will show him hell." the second prince said with a smile. 'kindness? what kindness did you offer? damn, i better not get on the general's bad side.' the soldier thought, as he grabbed a bloodied cloth from a corpse and gagged the commander.

imperial city.

rumble rumble!

"wha-what is that rumbling?" many people were wondering. "coul-gulp-could it be that the imperial city is being attacked?" an old man asked. "we barely made it before sundown. it seems you still need more training." the second prince looked at his 10, 000 soldiers and their horses who were panting heavily. "no,no,no,no! it's just....the food from lunch was weighing us down!" yeah yeah! and then we had to fight those soldiers earlier!" please general, we don't need anymore training!"the soldiers disagreed right away.

"hmm, i'll think about it later. first, i should go pay my royal father a visit!" the third prince said. the soldiers flooded the city, causing the people to run in fear. "hold! wh-who are you? bringing a-an army into the city!" one of the imperial guards stood in front of the second princes horse. "ah!? why don't you get out of the generals way?!" one of the soldiers shouted. " has it been so long since i left the imperial city that everyone has forgotten my face? haha! lets go men!" the second prince laughed as he and his men rode towards the palace.
