The Golden Throne

Chapter 217: A massive army

Chapter 217: A massive army

After a few hours, Liu Feng stopped. He stopped for good reason as well. Now, he could see the capital. At the least, he could see where it was located. That was because from where he had stopped, a huge black pillar could be seen. It was visible from miles, and Liu Feng could not believe his eyes when he laid his eyes on it.

“How the hell was I able to miss that till now?” he said with shock.

All around that area, the sky was dark, and the clouds looked like they were going to rain. Unfortunately, they were at the same level as the city, and they were not able to have a higher level view of the city, and the ones in it.

“By the sheer density of corrupted mana that I can feel here, I am positive that there are upwards of a hundred thousand demons there. And I am talking about demon soldiers. Not that idiotic spawn. Again, I beseech upon you to rethink your idea.” Arad said.

“Don’t have a choice. Gotta try.” Liu Feng shrugged as the truck kept moving forward. With every minute, the huge dark patch in the sky, and the pillar of black mist was only getting bigger and clearer. 

The place that Liu Feng had stopped was very far from the capital, and it took another hour to get even remotely close.

“It is time. We must disembark and deploy the missile.” Liu Feng said.

“Are you sure? You have forced the army to come here without rest. The demons over there have no idea that you are here. Why not wait for the army of your to arrive, and then we can detonate the device. There is still a day left for your army to arrive. Though I am not exactly sure where they will be coming from. I have no idea how we came, and we certainly did not pass that army.” Arad said.

“Fine. We should wait for them to come, like you said. After they come, I will use a communication mana stone to ascertain their position. Till then, I should work on the missile, make sure that it is ready for deployment.” Liu Feng nodded towards Arad as he got off the truck.

It was still mid day, and the sun shone on Liu Feng as he walked to the rear of the truck. Liu Feng then glanced at the front.

“I cannot do this without you. You are the only one with enough power to do something like this. I cannot lift this.” Liu Feng shouted. 

“Deja Vu” Arad sighed as he got off the passenger seat and went to the rear to lift the huge box. With his hands on the chains, he yanked the box out of the truck and put it onto the ground. He did not even stop for a second more, and directly went back into the truck and started resting.

“Well that was new. I didn’t know he enjoyed sleep that much.” Liu Feng thought to himself as he started circling the box. 

He then stopped in front of one part and stepped forward. On the box, on one of the sides, there was a lock for all of the chains. Liu Feng retrieved a key from his spatial ring, and he used this key to unlock the chains. Almost immediately after the lock came out, the chains fell to the side onto the ground. 

The box started opening up, like it had been forced shut the whole time, and couldn’t wait to see the open sun.

Inside, the contents were exactly what was advertised. There was a metal piece of hunk that looked like a missile, with a pointy end, and a long exterior. It did look very unassuming to be a nuclear missile, but Liu Feng barely had any help building this thing. All he had to work off was the knowledge that he had from his past life, and he was only fortunate that he got so far already.

He opened a little panel in the nuclear missile and started tinkering with it. Unlike a normal missile, this one was filled with all sorts of magic circles, and it looked completely different and functioned in a different method than normal missiles from earth. That was pretty clear, considering that there were no computers, and the only way that Liu Feng could put the timer on the missile was with a magic circle.

After one hour,

“Phew! Finally done. I can’t believe that it took so much time for me to just take care of the simple work like this. God help me this should work, or my efforts for the last month will be in vain.” Liu Feng sighed.

He then let the missile stay there and he walked back to the truck. He sat in the driver’s seat. Next to him, Arad was meditating.

“Well, I also need to try and loosen this bottle neck. All of them want me to get to the eighth order for some reason, and pity that I cannot skip the seventh.” Liu Feng thought to himself as he also sat in the lotus position and closed his eyes to meditate.

He looked within, and could feel the mana next to his heart. He could feel that it was a full mixture of different sets of mana, and there were all four types of mana.

“Maybe if I specialized in only one element, then it would be easier for me to become a seventh order mage. It is so difficult raising my mana levels even a little, and meditating is not helping me as much as it should.” Liu Feng muttered.

He sighed, but what could he do. This was a choice that he took, and he was not in a state to change it anymore. The damage was done. 

“It is not like I am not getting any benefits though.” he reasoned with himself.
