PRINCE OF DRAGONS
Prince Song Lin Qian's
In an empty land where there are only rocks and barren land that is wide enough, there are two troops who are marching against each other with tools of war and complete weaponry.
Hundreds of soldiers on both sides were led by three Commanders in each camp, and from the clothes worn, the two of them were clearly two different armies of the Kingdom that were ready to go to war.
The commander-in-chief of both sides was sitting on his mighty horse watching the ranks of the enemy troops as well as his commanders, and vice versa.
"No one is afraid! For our Qin Kingdom, go ahead and defeat the Song Imperial Army," said a strong commander in chief who was very gallant by holding a long machete in his hand and a sword that was still wrapped around his waist.
"Long live the Qin Kingdom, destroy the Song Kingdom!" exclaim all Qin kingdom soldiers in unison.
The yellow-clad troops only paid attention to the cheers of the enemy forces before him, and one of their great commanders noticed all of that as well as read the situation.
"Commander Lian, all the archers are ready to wait for orders" said one of the commanders.
The figure that Commander Lian called was a Commander of the Song Kingdom, his body comparable to the Commander-in-Chief of the Qin Kingdom who was currently encouraging his troops, his body was, while the weapon is a Yellow ribbed Spear and a sword on his waist.
The Qin army had already begun to advance, and the ones in the vanguard were troops that had protective shields, the second row were archer troops, and the third row was an ordinary fighting force.
These three lines began to advance to determine the distance of their arrows later, and if the Song Army released arrows, then the protective forces would use their shields to protect the troops behind it.
At the rear, there was still a line of immobile Qin troops consisting of an elite combat force consisting of cavalry troops and troops that had sturdy weapons and armor, and armor, not to mention the fireball cannon that is ready to be released at any time, coupled with a large bow called the Balista Bow, the big bow will be used to archery enemy cavalry, and the enemy, and on the side of the Song Kingdom also has the Bow.
"Archer Squad! Shower them with Fire arrows" Commander Lian said.
The archers immediately advanced to the front and began to burn arrows that had been given cloth and oil. As soon as Commander Lian gave his cue, the archer troops immediately released his arrows towards the enemy troops.
The sky was instantly darkened by the rain of hundreds of fire arrows that began raining down on the Qin army, although there were shield troops at the front who began to make protective formations, the, but still there are some soldiers who are still hit by the arrow, some are still able to survive, and some troops there are dead even though the body is not burned.
"The Shield Force, come forward to block the enemy's attack," exclaimed the commander-in-chief of the Qin Kingdom.
The protective soldiers moved forward as well as put up their shields to protect themselves as well as the troops that were behind them, no matter what the onslaught of the rain of arrows that kept attacking, they continued to advance, still there were some soldiers who fell down hit by arrows, but they did not stop their steps to continue moving.
"Place three forward!" commander Lian exclaimed and the archers retreated and were replaced by a third-row force all wearing armor and shields while holding spears.
Three-row troops are a designation for protective forces as well as attackers, these troops will first attack and defend, and this strategy was first used by Commander Lian.
The two armies were now very close, and once the two faced off, the third-row troops were already very familiar with the enemy's strategy, they all immediately stuck their shields to the ground, and simultaneously the enemy troops who were in the ranks of the protective forces released the Spear puncture.
The Spear's puncture was certainly restrained by Song's army's shield, and once the spear was about to be pulled, it would be pulled, the second-row troops behind the third-row troops immediately grabbed the enemy's spears and pulled them so strongly that the owner of the spear was pulled out of the protection, and the third-row troops immediately threw their spears into the Qin army's body.
The Qin forces immediately retaliated, they opened the shields and an arrow attack began raining down on the Song army, and after that the cavalry from both sides immediately entered the battlefield.
The fierce fighting from both sides lasted for half a day, and within half a day, the Qin army lost more than half of its troops, while the Song Army was only slightly killed.
The battle, which did not benefit the Qin army, eventually chose to withdraw, and the result of the battle was won by the Song forces.
Song's troops cheered their victory, and lightly wounded Commander Lian ordered the guard troops to build the fort, while he and several soldiers will return to the Kingdom to convey the news of the victory to King Song.
***
The Song Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom were the two kingdoms that occupied the Western mainland. Unlike the case with the middle land and eastern land that only has one government.
The Song Kingdom was the first kingdom to exist in the Western Mainland, and after more than 50 years, a new Kingdom emerged, the Qin Kingdom, and the Qin kingdom itself was built by one of the Song royal officials who defected.
Surprisingly the Qin Kingdom had so much support that in less than 10 years, the Qin Kingdom already had enough troops to match the military might of the Song Kingdom.
Today King Song is standing in front of the room of one of his concubines who is about to give birth to the King's third child. Anxiously King Song paced in front of the room which made the bodyguards accompanying King Song feel Dizzied looking at their unwilling King.
Every now and then King Song would look at the door of the room and then walk back and forth anxiously, while in the room the voice of the woman in pain tried as much as possible to give birth to her baby.
"Take a deep breath Princess, it will soon come out" said an old woman who helped deliver the King's Concubine.
The woman followed what the old woman ordered, after she took a deep breath, the Concubine gripped the pillow cloth tightly as well as shouted very loudly.
Suddenly the sky became cloudy, and just as the Concubine was shouting and pushing her baby out of her womb, at the same time, lightning struck the roof of the palace, with the sound of crying babies covered by the sound of Thunder that made the palace roof instantly shattered.
All the guards of the King and the soldiers were clearly shocked over the phenomenon, while King Song himself who heard the sound of baby crying after the sound of thunder passed immediately stopped moving while facing the room door with a feeling of impatience to see his third child.
The rain began to fall very heavily, and some troops tried to repair the leaky roof of the palace by replacing the roof, and they were willing to rain in order to repair the ruined roof of the palace.
After waiting for a while, the door finally opened, and the old woman came out holding the little baby who had been cleaned and wrapped the tiny baby's body with a soft cloth and also warm.
King Song's facial features look very happy after knowing that his third child is a boy, and the baby is his only son, while the previous two children are girls.
The first child was named Song Lie Hua child with the Empress, and the second was named Song Xi Yifei child with the second concubine, and now is a baby boy.
King Song fondled the baby and the old woman explained that if her third baby had a strange birthmark behind her back, the image of a red circle as big as a thumb was engraved on the right shoulder.
King Song immediately examined him and he found the birthmark, King Song was a little confused because there was rarely a birthmark of a picture of a perfectly red circle, usually birthmarks are blackish blue or even pitch black, and such marks are commonly seen.
It was just that this time it looked different, although King Song did not mind it, at least his son was born without the slightest defect, and a unique birthmark might just be an ordinary birthmark.
King Song walked over to the concubine who was still lying weak, and King Song happily spoke to the concubine.
"Thank you Fei'er, you've given our kingdom hope for the future" King Song said.
The concubine who had the name Lin Fei could only smile then King Song came out carrying his baby to the Palace Hall, King Song wanted everyone to know if the Royal Heir had been born.
As soon as King Song entered the Palace Hall, all of the Royal Highnesses immediately knelt down, exclaiming, "Congratulations on the birth of the third King's son, may the King and the family be granted grace and longevity," say everything in the hall.
"Thank you! Today is my day of happiness, because today has been born the future heir to the throne of this Kingdom, Crown Prince of Song Kingdom, I give my son's name, Prince Song Lin Qian," king Song said as he raised the baby up high hoping the Gods would also bless the birth of the Crown Prince.
"Long live King Song, live Prince Song Lin Qian!" everyone who is still on their knees.
The Empress and two other concubines entered the Palace Hall with two Princess Song, one 8-year-old named Song Lie Hua, and one 4-year-old named Song Xi Yifei.
After being next to King Song, the Empress asked the baby for her to carry, and King Song gave it to her.
"Song Lin Qian, look at it! Your birth is welcomed with prayers and blessings from all of us, may you become a man as dashing and wise as your father," the Empress said as she kissed Song Lin Qian's still smooth and tender forehead.
Song Lie Hua and Song Xi Yifei also impatiently wanted to see their younger brother, while the two Concubines where one of them was also pregnant were just looking at each other, envious and displeased looks began to be seen on the faces of the two, only the two Concubines did not dare to express their displeasure towards the Baby Boy.
The two concubines were named Yie Ling Yi, she was the mother of Song Xi Yifei, while the pregnant one was named Lio Xiyi, then the Empress named Wang Hua Yin.
"Is the son of a servant entitled to be heir to the throne of this Kingdom? Lin Fei, just look at what I will do to your son and to you, "the inner one of the concubines glanced at the other concubine.
It was known that if Lin Fei was previously a servant who came from a small village, Lin Fei had a very pretty face, and when Song Guo Li or King Song met Lin Fei who was working on cleaning the Empress's room, King Song was fascinated and immediately proposed to Lin Fei, and Lin Fei finally became the second Concubine after Yie Ling Yi.
After Lin Fei became the second concubine, King Song again asked for a daughter from one of the nobles, and the princess was named Lio Xiayi.
King Song now has three concubines. Yie Ling Yi herself was the daughter of a minister, so the status of Yie Ling Yi and Lio Xiyi should be higher than Lin Fei.
Unlike the case with the Empress where the Empress herself was a Princess of one of the kingdoms that controlled the Central Mainland region, the Empress status was clearly higher than all the concubines of King Song, who was the Queen of Song, moreover, the Empress of the King's legitimate wife.
A King can only have one legitimate wife, and it has indeed become the rule of law of the whole government in all parts of the world, if the leader or King wants to marry again, so the wedding path is very different and certainly cannot be called as empress, because her own position is very different between Empress and Consort.
Just for the sake of being able to have a son, King Song had already married three women, King Song did not consider in advance what would happen in the future if he had two sons from two different concubines.
Given that there is still one concubine who is 7 months pregnant, so it is still unknown what baby will be born from the third concubine, which is still pregnant, meanwhile, Lio Xiyi was sure that the baby she was carrying was also a baby boy.
"Tell the commanders who are on the border to stop fighting for two days, tell the three Commanders to make defense only, because for two days I do not want war, he said, this is to welcome Song Lin Qian's presence in this Kingdom" King Song said.
The three soldiers immediately bowed and walked back after receiving King Song's word, but just as they wanted to turn around, Commander Lian appeared and immediately met King Song.
Commander Lian was perplexed when he saw all the Royal Highnesses present, but he immediately ignored them all and focused more on speaking to the King.
"Lian Bai saluted His Majesty and the Empress!" said Commander Lian Bai who immediately knelt before King Song and the Empress.
"Wake up Lian Bai," said King Song.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The servant returned with the news of victory, the Qin army managed to drive us out of the border region" Lian Bai said.
"Owh, so Song Lin Qian's birth also gave victory to our Kingdom, good-nice! This is a good sign," said King Song who turned his head towards Song Lin Qian who was on the Empress's lap.
Lian Bai was puzzled to hear it, and upon seeing the baby on the Empress' lap, only then did she understand and immediately congratulate King Song on the birth of his son.
"Since today is a happy day, we will be throwing a party for Prince Song Lin Qian," king Song said that all who were there were very happy and King Song told the soldiers to spread the feast to all his people and King Song would distribute alms to the righteousreally very poor.
Upon King Song's over-the-top attitude and treatment, the two King Consorts both looked at the baby in the Empress's lap with extremely sharp gazes, and, their ill intentions grew wild and the two concubines both nodded their heads, both agreeing to plan something for Song Lin Qian along with her mother.
