The Golden Throne

Arad nodded, and he went to work. Liu Feng tossed him a shovel from his spatial ring and told him to start digging a huge hole to start hiding the Missile itself, and another to half cover the truck. The truck had to be a decoy after all, and for it to work, the truck had to be found. The both of them went to shoveling, and there were two big holes in no time.

"You know what? Arad, can you start digging another hole to the end over there? I will start working on the illusory arrays.", Liu Feng asked Arad.

"Another hole? Isn\'t that redundant?", Arad asked Liu Feng.

.

"Well, look around. This place is secluded anyway. Few people will ever actually come here, and those who do will come here for a purpose. Most will never even know about the project itself, and those who do will not betray me. But, worst comes worst, someone close to me tries to get to the missile before me, and they see a huge hole not covered or anything, just empty, they might think that the missile itself was taken away before they got here. I want to minimize the chances of the truck being taken away as well, cause I really need it for transportation.", Liu Feng explained himself.

"Ah!", Arad realized and he went to digging again. 

As for Liu Feng, he sat down in front of the hole where the nuclear missile was located and started drawing arrays by placing mana crystals around the hole in a prearranged manner. The entire place suddenly became illusory in nature, and it was as if the whole area did not exist in the real world. Liu Feng grabbed a shovel and he threw the soil back into the hole that was dug. As for the remaining soil that was just lying around, he spread it about so that there was not a single patch of ground without grass.

He did the same with the truck, but he made sure that if someone strong did arrive, they would find the truck first.

An hour later, the entire place looked exactly like it did from before when Liu Feng and Arad went into the place with a truck. Liu Feng looked around, proud of his work.

"Let\'s go to the city now. My father was especially angry for some reason. Does your king have a sort of eccentric personality or something? Very few things have angered him when I was in the palace."

"His Majesty is a very wise person. I am sure that everything that he did has a purpose."

The both of them went towards the city gates, when Liu Feng saw a huge line at the entrance. At the beginning of the line, Liu Feng saw the words, \'Recruitment\'. Seeing this, Liu Feng smiled.

"I have a wonderful idea Arad. How about we enter as recruits? It\'ll be a nice prank on my father, and I would certainly like to see how the kings and the soldiers are preparing for the war."

"It is up to you, master. I am just here to make sure that you do not die."

"That does not reassure me in the slightest, Arad. Please do not say it like that."

"I am afraid it is true. During the first demon war, my elders told me that the demons attacked all the king contractors because of the danger that they posed, and they were successful in killing two of them. Now, three of the contractors have gathered in one place, while the contractor of the queen of water is still yet to be found. I am positive that you will be the object of multiple assasination attempts."

"How will they even know where I am? Only you do."

"The demons have eyes and ears everywhere, master. You must not underestimate the power of the demons at all. All that you will fight for now is just a mere fraction of the true power of the demons. What is yet to come is unknown to everyone. If a demon lord comes here, we are in the truest sense, doomed."

"Come on Arad. Why speak of the future when we have so much to do right now. Let us enter as recruits. I want to have some fun right now, and I am sure that the dragon king will know where I am the moment I enter the city."

"You are correct, master. Even if he does not recognize you, he can smell me from miles away. I am sure that he was alerted of our arrival the moment we set foot in this kingdom."

The both of them went to the huge line that formed outside the gates. The line was loud, and there were quick skirmishes. People were hollering, and there were guards everywhere who were trying their best to keep the place in check. There were people of all three races in the line, but the proportion of humans completely dwarfed the number of elves and dwarves. Liu Feng and Arad kept close as the line extended behind them.

The line moved forward at a sluggish pace, and it was clearly causing some unrest among these people. This was probably the forced conscription so that the army would never fall short on numbers when they were needed.

"God, I don\'t understand what they would do by recruiting every goddamn person. Shouldn\'t there be some screening?", Liu Feng grumbled. The people around him heard him as well, and the response was not pretty at all.

"Hey kid, what the hell is the matter with you? Did your parents not teach you to keep your mouth shut at the right times?"

Another person shouted, "You are clearly too young to come here. Go back to your mother boy. You still need some milk to grow."

Liu Feng just smiled lightly and disregarded their words. He looked at the people around him.
