536. The legend of zero deaths
"Oh, this brings back bad memories," Iroh spoke while looking at the battlefield. There were lots of soldiers, sitting in trenches. Their eyes looked hopeless and their bodies looked weak. There were also some cries coming, screaming to go back home.
"This is humanity for you. War and fighting are in the blood." Leonidas commented.
"Sad, but that is also why humanity always progressed. Because of the desire for more, for something better." Ragnarok added.
At the moment, there were no active fights going on. Both sides were under a mutual ceasefire. But still, small skirmishes would happen along the border. But they were also understaffed and not well funded, which in turn created more problems.
"Dobby, you come with me. You three, stay here, and organize the army, help the wounded. Cheer them up, give them some good food." Alexander instructed them and left to cross the border and meet the prince of Aerugo.
He went to the border where a gate was made for the exchange of prisoners of wars from both sides.
"I am Major General Universe. I am sent by the Central Command to negotiate with your prince. Inform him to set up a meeting." Alexander said to the Aerugonian soldiers. He was going to solve this problem peacefully. It was going to be the return of the legend of zero deaths.
"We have been ordered to deny any such demands. Prince Claudio Rico will only talk to the Fuhrer."
"Hmmm, well, I guess I have no choice then," Alexander muttered and used his Jedi powers.
"Go and inform your prince that Miracle Maker is here," Alexander ordered. He knew that this nickname of his was more famous in the world than his real name.
Alexander waited for a while and sure enough, the soldier returned and brought him to a temporary building inside their area. It was surrounded by soldiers and tents of other soldiers. The building showed Alexander what kind of prince this man was. The building had decorations made of gold, silk curtains, and other overly expensive items. This was when the people of the country were suffering.
Alexander was surprised thinking that the Army was still following him. ~Can he still pay the salary?~
Alexander and Dobby were led inside a big hall. There was a golden throne at the end on which a brown-haired man/boy was sitting in regal attire.
"So, the mighty Fuhrer sent one of his pawns to talk peace?" Prince Claudio spoke proudly.
~I don't even know what this Fuhrer looks like.~ Alexander thought.
"Yeah, he sent me to talk to some corrupt prince who ignores his people and uses tax money to make gold chairs. Are you that prince?" Alexander asked.
"You have nerves coming here and disrespecting me." Prince Claudio replied with a smile.
Alexander chuckled, "Of course, I have the strength to back my words."
"KNEEL! You are in the presence of Prince Claudio Rico, the ruler of Aerugo." He loudly claimed.
Dobby chuckled, "Add narcissist to his titles."
Alexander walked closer to the spoiled prince.
"GUARDS!" Prince Claudio shouted but nobody listened to him, nobody came.
Alexander waved his hand and two more chairs appeared in front of the prince's.
"Listen here, kid. I didn't come here to play king and peasant here. This is a modern world we are living in. The way you have treated your people is a big enough sin that you should kill yourself in shame. But, I noticed that your EQ seems pretty low so you probably don't feel remorse.
All the soldiers were feeling better now. They soon sent men out to announce the end of the war. The news spread like wildfire all over the front. They were shocked and happy that they now get to live without the worry of dying anytime.
...
Ajax was sitting on the train alone as everyone else had gone out after some Dr. Tim Marcoh. He was sleeping at that time and they didn't wake him up.
*Pop*
The snoring bubble burst and he woke up. He looked around confusedly. Hats was sitting on his right. He really sat like a human and looked weird.
"Where is everyone?" Ajax asked.
"They went after some guys. They said they'll be back soon." Hats said.
"WAIT! Didn't they ask you why you could speak?" He inquired.
"They did, I just told them that I'm the soul of a dead man living inside the body of a dead cat. They believed me as there was a living armor with them." Hats explained.
"Haha, you are a genius, Hats." Ajax laughed.
"Heh, I guess I am." Hats smirked and crossed his legs smugly.
Ajax then noticed Edward outside the window, "Hey, how could you leave me like this. What if someone had kidnapped me?"
"The only one in danger were the people on this train." Edward barked at him.
"I guess you are right, 'little' big brother," Ajax replied with a smirk, making Edward frustrated.
"YOU WAIT! I'm coming in now." Edward shouted and ran inside the bogie.
[Alexander is gathering power right now. Soon, the first conflict will happen and he will find out about the Homunculus. Someone on Webnovel asked me why Alexander sometimes acts like a god in worlds and sometimes acts like what he's doing right now.
In short, it all depends on his preset identity. If he is already some kind of a king and established god then he will directly act as a god. If he is a normal man like right now, then he will first start influencing the world to make them see him as a good and powerful person then he would rise through the ranks. All this so that people believe in his actions. (This condition does not apply in short arcs.)]
