The Golden Throne

Chapter 140 - Darv Reconciles

Liu Feng coughed out all the food in his mouth. He smiled bitterly and said, "Straight to the point! That was fast."

Teleri gave a hard look at Liu Feng and looked back at Amelia. 

"I shouldn't have said anything", Amelia said, shaking her head. Liu Feng smiled here as he continued eating.

He looked at General George.

"So General, continuing on what you said before...", he started.

"It is alright, Your Highness. I had crossed my boundaries. I understand that the information that was privy to you was something that just was not supposed to be shared with someone like me.", the general quickly apologized again.

And he was right. Liu Feng did not want the General to know of the chant at all. Once the general memorized the chant, he could use it with all the soldiers in the army, and that would make Dilheim lose its position as a powerful city altogether. Liu Feng wanted all the spirits to be inside of Dilheim to hold this monopoly of power, because he knew that if this power would stretch outside, then it would only threaten his city, and his interests. By keeping it here, he could moderate who earnt this power, and could make sure that it wouldn't be misused. But, ofcourse he couldn't exactly say this to the General, who controlled the man power that Liu Feng needed right now.

"It is not like that, General. I am sure that if you talk to the master of the mage tower, he would figure out something. He is the one, after all, who gave me all this power.", Liu Feng smiled. This was because he knew that Lucas would never give the General the chant, and he knew for a fact that the elves and the dwarves wouldn't. They had kept it secret for so long after all.

Liu Feng completed eating quickly and left the room, leaving Amelia alone with the generals. He went to the workshop to start working on his game changing plan. He wanted to be able to create a blast so huge that no demon could withstand it. He wanted to create something akin to a nuclear blast in the middle of the army of Glade. It was a very ambitious plan, so he had to be very careful with how he was going to go about it.

The corner stones were already in place. Mineral wise, Dicain was very much similar to Earth. It had everything that Earth did. Uranium among them. Liu Feng could barely recognize the stone out of so many that he saw when he was cruising through merchants' roads, and knew that he had to get it. He had 'requested' the merchant to bring back a few tonnes of the rock from wherever he found it. The shipment arrived just a few days before Liu Feng had left for school, and had been lying unattended since. 

Now that Liu Feng had finally found time and a use for it, he started getting to work, preparing for the arrival of the master craftsmen of Darv. He already had a forger in his premises, but one was nowhere near enough to meet his demand and need for speed, so most of the projects on Liu Feng's dream list were postponed.

He started working, drawing blueprints to precision. The rest of the day flew by. He went back to the manor and attended dinner. His father approved of the message and took the liberty of sending an envoy to Darv immediately, saying time was of the essence. Liu Feng could not agree more. Although he had a plan in his mind, he had a month to finish it, and a month was very little time to finish a nuclear bomb. The only thing that he had going for him was that he already knew what he was supposed to do, so he could just skip the testing and quantitative analysis parts of the whole procedure, which were usually the most time consuming.

Looking at this, he sucked in the blue prints into his spatial ring. These blueprints could never be released to the general public. Even the ones who made them would not be allowed to look at the whole blue prints. This was because Liu Feng wanted to avoid the very mistakes that countries on Earth made that led to the situation where a single button could end the world.

The next few days just went by like a snap of the fingers. The envoy returned with Balor's message, agreeing to a temporary alliance with Aegon, and the neutral stance of Dilheim. Also to note was the arrival of the Elvan army, and more importantly the master magic circle engravers. They had been doing this their whole lives, and with sheer experience alone, the elves were better than Liu Feng at this. Liu Feng knew that he could not afford to give away the technology of the gun, or the nuclear bomb to anyone, so he made sure that all steps off production would be such that no one knew how the gun or the nuclear bomb was made. The elven engravers were given workshops, and Liu Feng dumped his supply of guns on them, showing them which magic circles to engrave. He split apart the gun into parts so that no one knew which part would go where. He had taken up the task of assembling himself.

After a week, the Darvan Army had also arrived, along with their master craftsmen. Liu Feng grumbled as he apologized to Balor in person. He gave the craftsmen their own workspace and assigned some of them to the gun manufacturering, and most of them to the nuclear missile project. Of course, there was confusion among them as to why they were working on something other than guns, but Liu Feng was mum about it. The dinner that night was especially exhausting.

"I hear that you have completely separated the process of manufacture. Is it that the young prince of Aegon does not trust either Darv or Elvan?", Balor shouted.
