Rise of a Fallen God 63 I Fight For Her

"Son you have only entered the Earth recently do you really plan to head to the Capital to fight for a position as a guard? Here in the Village you are the most important member if you die it will make things harder for us until one of the others becomes stronger, can't you wait until then!?" Said a Village elder.

Turning over to look at his home he shakes his head, after King Alba he became an orphan and vowed to thank the ones who saved him and the other villagers lucky enough to survive until that moment. "Once I join the elite guard unit our Village will become famous and I will be able to better protect it won't I!" Said Derrick as he made his way out of the Village following him is a young girl around 14 years old. When the elder saw this he shook his head, his daughter married this young man after they grew close as he trained to become stronger so the Village will have a protector.

After the Dragon Empire claimed sovereignty over the land many had their lives improved through the development of trade and protection from the Beast within the region. With the Empire's promise of protection to those who actively developed the surrounding territories from Beast attacks and attacks from the other Empires and Kingdoms, many Cities and Villages started to prosper and grow but they all still trained their own forces not fully believing in the protection of a newly founded Empire.

All over the Dragon Empire many youths and those who sought to increase their power rushed to the Imperial Capital of the Empire.

After all other Empires and Kingdoms surrendered to the Dragon Empire truly unifying this land under one ruler, only one Empire remained an that was the Dragon Empire. They also renamed the Continent to fit this change, to give piece of mind to those who wished to recreate the Blood Sun Empire of the past the Emperor allowed for the old ruined fort to be rebuilt into a grand Kingdom, with the rise of the Blood Sun kingdom he appointed Three Suns as its ruler. He granted many titles to the former rulers naming them each a King ruling territory under the Empire, with those who refused to surrender they are now either dead or had their children become the new rulers.

Travelling to the Capital was a long journey for those still at the Refinement and Earth realms, many with connections or had broken through to the Heaven realm helped those they came across to reach the Capital faster. They were then surprised to find out the Empire sent out massive air ships created by the Dragon Clan to bring anyone at the Refinement realm and above, this allowed many who could not make the long journey rush to the airships fearing they would fill up. Once they reached the air ships they found it able to hold millions if not more, with the room inside the ships many of the youths began to spar against others who wanted to improve before reaching the Imperial Capital.

Young Derrick was one of the youths rushing to improve his power before reaching the Imperial Capital, thinking back to the second announcement he still could not believe it until the elder read it before the entire Village.

"As Empress Valara has already announce we will be recruiting personal guards for her but this is not all each of the Empresses will have a guard unit of one thousand to personally command. Anyone from the Beastia Nation, Dragon Empire, Moon Empire, Stormrain Empire and Star Nation can join the only requirement is to be at the Refinement realm."

These words ment that he at the Earth realm was given a chance to thank his and his wife's savior Empress Heather.

...

Even with the deployment of the airships to gather the many willing participants took three weeks total, those who arrived early were greeted by the Grand Imperial Capital. Lime Leaf is no longer the same after constant expansion under the watchful eyes of the Empresses it completely absorbed a few of the neighboring Empires and Kingdoms before slowing down. The Imperial Capital itself has four Empires at each of its corners with it being the Center together they make up the new Lime Leaf Imperial Capital, the four Empires after becoming apart of Lime Leaf were named Imperial Kingdoms.

Soaring high in the sky the passengers witnessed the massive Capital for all its glory moving past the Imperial Kingdoms before landing in the Imperial Capitals military camp.

During the trip Derrick met others who had the same goal as him wanting to become apart of the personal guard units, while others were Refinement realm smiths, alchemist, pill refiners and spirit beast tamers. Most of them came to be nurtured by the Empire now that they had a way to get to it they choose to board the airships, they were shocked at the size of the ships interior until a Heaven realm smith explained it was the Dragon Empire using dimensional refined metal to increase the size inside. Telling them this was why he is moving to the Imperial Capital with them to learn under a Master who could bring his talents to further heights.

Walking off the airship many humans with horns, scales, fangs and claws moved over into the gathering area, many eyes were on them as most humans were taught to fear and hate the beast who live on this world alongside them.

Many of them knew the Empires army wiped out the Sacred Rain Church during the final battle that decided the true ruler of this planet, so although some held hints of fear or hate they knew death would be a likely outcome if they fought.

This hesitation was a blessing for many as one human male could not hold in his rage when he noticed a human-beast couple, he tried to cause problems for them only to be arrested by the military guards stationed here. The couple thanked the guard only to see a human officer also rushing over, with the guard that arrested the human being a beast they assumed an argument would break out over the arrest. Only to see the female officer telling the human that if he wishes to join the army in any capacity he must marry a female beast, they will be lenient with his punishment and allow him to choose between the female guards here who are willing to take him so that he can still participate in the test.

Many who overheard her gasping for breath they then took long hard looks at their beast kin brothers and sisters with a new light, a few of the lustful and eger males moved over to the female officer to volunteer to set examples willing to marry a guard here. She knew they were trying to gain a beautiful beast wife everyone knew once a beast gains human form his or her beauty is otherworldly even more so for hybrids, with a smile she raised her hand and many female guards came before her. A few ambitious women could not allow the men to gain an advantage and also walked forward to request if they too could set an example, the male beast guard smiled as he walked over to the female officer.

"This is my husband and head of the Guards in this camp that will be the testing ground for this group, I am an officer assigned here to maintain order and I serve directly under Empress Tia. If you girls wish to set examples I can introduce to you a few male officers but it would be wise to not force the marriage, both male and female beast have extremely high amounts of lust so you making this move in a rush is a bad idea. Hearing this the males who volunteered cast multiple glances at the line up of beauties before them, they were beyond hope as they already choose to throw themselves at the women so to be chosen by any means.

As the few brave humans male and female began to talk to each of the guards and officers who agreed to take on a human partner, the officers were then met with a surprise when Prince Vesta and his wife entered the camp.

"Attention! Everyone that has gathered here today is seeking to enter the Military, Pill Hall or the other branches that are here in the Imperial Capital, and it is now within your grasp as long as you follow the laws here. Everyone here can gain access to resources to gain power or enter the political aspects of the Empire, both beast and human alike have this opportunity."

"Today I will announce the trial that you all will undergo each batch will take different test, you lot are lucky for my test is something I had my father help me create. I call it the Trial Tower! Inside you will undergo test suited for each and every one of you personally, no matter if you wish to become a expert in our army, a pill refiner, master smith or alchemist.
