Chapter 154
Book 4-7.6
Runa had been researching new weapons for war for a long time. Specifically, it was a weapon that would release around 10 arrows at once. Yulian had remembered Runa mentioning that after multiple failed attempts, he was finally ready to show it to everyone.
“It is complete, but I am still experimenting with it. Other that that weapon, there are some other weapons that I have been tinkering with as well. I should be able to finish all of them before we head out to war.”
“I have high expectations for whatever kind of crazy weapon you come up with for us.”
“Truthfully speaking, they were created to defend against the Shuarei’s Venersis or the Silence Empire’s potential invasion, but the capabilities are better than I expected it to be. I am certain it will be of great help in the war.”
“That is obvious since it is something you created.”
As Yulian put on a satisfied smile, Runa started to laugh as he responded.
“It is making my heart beat extremely loudly. I can’t believe it is finally starting.”
“This could be considered our official start of the unification of the Eastern Desert.”
Yulian’s heart was beating extremely loudly as well. This had been his dream for the last twenty years.
The unification of the desert. One desert nation.
His dream was finally slowly becoming a reality. If they were successful during this upcoming campaign, the foundation for it would be completed. It was a chance for them to get strong enough for nobody to dare mess with them.
While the two men were getting extremely excited, the warriors’ training came to an end and the lead warriors started to lead them back.
“We should head down now as well.”
“Yes.”
Since these trainings were so frequent, there was no need for a meeting after the training. The two men immediately headed back to the oasis.
“Have dinner with us tonight.”
“Would that be okay? Both of the madams are with child.”
Runa was concerned at Yulian’s dinner invitation.
“They may be women, but these are Grace and Violet. They can easily handle your average warrior. Nobody has visited because they know the two of them are pregnant, so they have actually been urging me to invite people over. Grace was always an active person, and Violet is not the type to just sit at home either. They are both used to being around a lot of people.”
“Even so…”
“It would be great if you can bring your wife over as well.”
“I understand, Glow.”
With Yulian continuing to urge him to come over, Runa had no choice but to nod his head before heading over to his paoe to get his wife.
Yulian started to hum seeing that everything went well and headed back to his paoe as well.
“Did something good happen today?”
Grace and Violet had been chatting outside the paoe when they saw Yulian heading over while humming and wanted to know what was going on.
“Pareia’s warriors are strong and the lives of the citizens are continuing to get better. In addition.”
“In addition?”
“Both of my wives will soon give birth. As a father, how could I not be happy?”
“Pfft.”
Grace and Violet started to laugh at the same time. They had not been able to see Yulian like this because of all the responsibilities and training for a long time. So seeing him come home looking so happy like this made both of the women extremely happy as well.
“I invited Runa and his wife to dinner today.”
“Oh! Pere-nim and Orca-nim will be coming over tonight as well.”
Yulian thought for a moment about Grace’s statement before speaking.
“If I knew everyone was gathering, I would have invited Tuma Takaka-nim, the Greatest Warriors, and the Red Storm as well.”
Yulian must have been really happy as he walked into the paoe with the smile still on his face.
The two women followed in behind him and started to prepare the food for their upcoming visitors. It was normal for even the wives of the Glow to prepare the meal for their husband.
As for these two women, they actually enjoyed this task and with their anticipated delivery date still being about three months away, they were still able to prepare everything by themselves.
A bit later, the Runa couple, as well as Pere and Orca and their respective wives entered the paoe. The inside of the paoe was instantly full of people.
Everybody laughed merrily and enjoyed the time together with one another.
As the dinner time slowly came to an end, Yulian started to speak.
“I am happy that I will be able to see the birth of my two children before heading out to war. While I am away, please take care of your nephews for me.”
“Hahaha, hyung-nim, you are already worried about your children?”
As Pere let out a laugh before responding, Orca started to laugh as well before responding.
“Both little hyung-nim and the Assistant Warrior-nim will remain at Pareia in case of a potential invasion by the SHuarei. While you are away, my nephews will grow tall and strong. You do not have to worry.”
“It is the same for all children, but children are Pareia’s future. I want to show those children a glorified. Pareia and a unified desert. Let’s all work hard and suffer just a little more until we can make that into our reality.”
“It is something we have to do. There is no reason to call it suffering.”
As Pere responded once more, Yulian shared some of the concerns he had.
“Things have been going well lately and only good things have been happening that I am a bit worried. Isn’t there a saying that says we need to be cautious when we are happy? It might just be saying always stay alert, but we need to maintain our vigilance regarding the Shuarei and the Silence Empire.”
“Hyung-nim, seeing you speak like that, you really must be very happy. However, you do not need to worry since we have an Assistant Warrior who says he can see the entire desert and the continent while sitting right here next to us.”
Orca started to smile before looking toward Runa, and Runa slightly bowed his head to show his appreciation before starting to respond.
“We are putting a large portion of our funds toward keeping track of what both sides are doing, so there should be no instances of being completely stabbed in the back. I also understand the concern the Glow has, but I wish to tell the Glow that he does not have to worry.”
Yulian nodded his head to show that he understood. However, it would be a lie to say he was no longer worried at all.
