《The Aria Chronicles》War In North
Advertisement
When we reached the conference hall with Isabell, I found there are already ten people sitting there, of the ten people six were men while three were women.
Ramon was sitting on the head chair and behind him is the fearful middle-aged man. Including Ramon, there are six vampires while rest were humans and all of them seemed to below thirty.
This youngness about them is clearly surprising to me, as most of the Viscount I met before were over thirty especially those at peak.
I felt gazes of all people on me and some even tried their soul power to inspect me but all of them warded off by the Grade 4 bracelet I am wearing which seemed surprise them quite a bit.
“Isabell, Lilith take a seat, we will start as soon as joseph arrives!” said Ramon asked us to take a seat.
Isabell and I took a seat beside Carl who gave me a light smile as I sat near him, I wanted to ask him what this emergency meeting is about but I kept my mouth shut seeing nobody talking a word.
I could feel everyone’s gaze on me but I did not feel anything except for the pressure of their power levels. I have a habit of such conference and getting lusty gazes now and then but those gazes used to be covert, not overly direct like the ones I am facing now.
Seeing there is nothing much to do except to wait, I decided to observe each of their levels and unsurprisingly all of them Elite Viscounts, their battle power is quite great as each and everyone had the battle power similar or greater than my parents who are Count.
The only one who doesn't have enough power to defeat my parents is Carl, except for me, Carl is the weakest one here who has the lowest battle power and level.

Carl is at Mid stages of the Viscount level while others at either high or peak stages of the Viscount level.
A few minutes later the door of the conference room opened and a man who looked to be in his late thirties walked inside.
He looked at everyone in the room he came inside, his eyes stayed on me for a second more than usual before he moved his eyes and last remaining seat beside Ramon.
Among retainers, he is the only one who at Count Level and when I sensed his battle power, I was barely able to stop myself from gasping out loud.
This is the highest battle power I’ve ever sensed, it looked like it will break the charts. He is just at the Initial stage of Count but has such immense battle power.
Monster! He is a monster of man, I thought as I sensed his immense battle power. I dont know with such battle power if he is still in the realm of being Elite or his power reached above that. I wonder if all the people here would become this powerful after they level up to the Count but it should be very hard I think, cause his battle power really too great.
I think in this room only two people could him that is Ramon and the fearful middle-aged man behind him.
“I had called you all here because there was a big change in the north border of our Six Star Alliance, tribes of Orcs had launched the attack,” Ramon said.
Hearing that everyone’s serious mood became even more serious and sort of heavy atmosphere spread in the conference.
I have never seen an Orc but I have heard and read a lot about them, this race is innately strong and always longed for the war, they brought destruction and sorrow whenever they passed through as they reveal in raiding, looting, raping.

Orcs are the vicious tribe but they are born strong, so they became difficult opponents to fight much like the giants but giants are mostly pacifist and always vie for a piece if there an option.
“Are these a raiding parties or have they launched a full war?” asked Joseph, Ramon stayed silent for a few moments before he answered the question.
“Currently it seemed like raiding parties but the intelligence suggests that they will launch a war in midway.” Said Ramon which made the atmosphere of the conference even heavier but faces some people hard to contain the excitement.
War is no simple thing, it takes lives and costs a fortune but it also presents many opportunities and a chance to earn merit.
“It is a very high chance that this turn into another Bloody war so you should all make the preparations, we will leave in four days,” Ramon said and started to talk the technicalities and answer the questions asked by all retainers.
I have no problem understanding this as our territory was on the edge of the kingdom so there was always small and big happening there, the only thing stumped me is the name of the places.
I have to take a note to study the map as soon as I got the chance, so I will not be completly clueless.
“Lilith stay for a minute!” Ramon said when we all started to leave the conference room after the briefing. Hearing his order, I sat back on my seat.
“The Six-Star alliance rules state that every retainer who enters the battlefield have to fight!” Ramon said while closely watching my expression but my expression calm as still water, there is no change in it which seemed to surprise him.
“I will seek safer duties for you but there will be a danger, so you should train well in four days you have,” he said and I nodded while feeling excited.
I am longing for a good fight where I will be able to fully use my strength, though I know war is very dangerous and I could even lose my life I am still feeling excited nonetheless.
“I will send you battle gear including artifacts tomorrow!” he said which is instantly put a smile on my face, the battle gear is necessary. One can go to the battle wearing casual clothes.
“Thank you!” I said. I know he is doing for himself as being me alive is very important due to my Bloodline.
“You will have to do your first assignment on the airship four days later,” he said finally. I had a hunch he will say something like this when he stopped me.
So another Airship fuck! I dont if I should laugh or cry hearing that, ever since I arrived in this world I have only fucked on the airship, I hope not all my fucks will be on the airship.
The airship is good but I hope I don’t want to fuck in the mile-high always, I want to have some fucks on the ground like any normal person, I thought jokingly.
“That’s all for today,” he said and I know it is my time to leave, I left the conference room after giving Ramon a slight bow.

Carus - Libertas
participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.
