“Uugh...”.
As soon as I woke up, I did my regular warm-up this morning. Although it is called morning, but it is still at 04:00 and the sun has not even shone.
When I saw the figure of my wife who was still asleep….
‘Fufu…. I still can't believe that I have a wife as beautiful as this blanket. Hm…. I haven't been on vacation with him for a long time. Should I plan a vacation? Maybe to Bali?’ I said to myself while continuing to warm up and stretch my body.
After that, I immediately prepared to run to the Gym where I used to train.
But by the time I was about to pick up my phone….
[138 missed calls]
[18 new messages]
‘Eh? Who's this?’ I asked in my heart and opened it immediately.
As soon as I saw the names of the caller and the sender of the message, my eyes opened wide.
“Arlond?!”
I also stopped my intention to exercise this morning after reading the entire contents of Arlond's message and also the voicemail that He sent.
In essence, Arlond had a problem because there was a threat of attack from the Kingdom of Salvation. Although the Kingdom was smaller than the Kingdom of Farna, Salvation currently had a much larger and stronger army than the forces belonging to the Kingdom of Farna.
And of course, there is one person in the Kingdom of Salvation who is able to change the system of warfare with this medieval theme. That person is Alice.
He was able to teleport thousands or even tens of thousands of troops at once to any place he wanted.
If Salvation combined his immensely powerful military might with Alice's ability to teleport, then Salvation would be invincible in battle.
What's more….
“Chris shit…. Since when did He become this greedy in terms of wealth and power?” I was upset as I continued to read Arlond's message.
Unexpectedly, my words woke Elin up.
“Uh? Erik? What's up?” Elin asked as she rubbed her eyes.
He was half conscious and had trouble waking up. It's only natural that we've both been fighting so hard late into the night. But put that aside….
“Nothing. It's just that the fuckin' Chris wants to attack the Farna Kingdom and right now I'm confused about what to do.” My reply to Elin.
“Confusion? Why why anyway? Just send in your monster army and it's done, right?” Reply Elin while getting up immediately. He seemed to wrap a blanket to cover and warm his tiny body.
“I can't do that, you know for yourself right? At present, Origin is still cooperating in terms of trade with Salvation. Plus, Chris never knew that the Farna Kingdom was the puppet Kingdom I had founded.
Therefore, I must fight to maintain the image of the Farna Kingdom by not helping it with the army of monsters. You must understand what would happen if the whole world knew that the Farna Kingdom belonged to monsters right? Moreover, the steps to be taken by the Holy Kingdom of Celestine and Theocracy Julia.”
I continued to explain at length to Elin. Even with that lethargic and sleepy face, Elin was still able to capture all this information well.
Soon after that….
“Then…. What does Arlond suggest?” Ask Elin.
“He suggested forming a large army in the Farna Kingdom by recruiting over 300,000 troops in a period of less than 1 month in that virtual world. In other words... 3 days in real world.” I clearly.
Hearing that, Elin immediately widened her eyes.
“What did you say?! 300 Thousand soldiers in just 1 month?! Is he crazy?! How much money would he spend if he did that?!” Shouted Elin loudly.
I clearly understood what Elin meant.
Sure oes.
Recruitment of soldiers is not that easy.
No man of sane reason would sign up for death. Therefore, suitable rewards should be given to them.
But Arlond was planning something really crazy.
That is, raising the salaries of all old soldiers and new soldiers by 5 times with the old soldier's record will get a higher increase.
In addition, Arlond also plans to implement a pension system where if the soldier dies in battle, then his family will still get paid from the soldier decades in the future.
Of course, it will further worsen the financial condition of the Kingdom of Farna which is currently in poverty.
Thats why….
In the last sentence in the short message….
[ …. I'm sorry to bother you, Eric. But at least I need about 10 million gold coins for this plan. Of course, not just soldiers. But this money will develop the military power of the Farna Kingdom to exceed its glory. Including building a lot of heavy equipment and also.].
Elin and I fell silent after reading the last part of Arlond's message.
“Eric…. If I'm not wrong…. Changing Rupiah to 1 gold coin is about 130,000 Rupiah right?” Asked Elin briefly with a lethargic face.
“You're right. If 10,000,000 gold coins then...”.
We both became quieter.
A few minutes passed with silence in this still quite dark room.
Eventually, Elin began to speak.
“Hah…. At least it amounts to 1.3 Trillion Rupiah.”
‘Bruk!’
I fell to the floor too.
No. gabe….
Elin also fell and lost most of her life.
In my mind at the last moment….
‘Play this game…. Really spent a lot of money!’

...Company Office Re:Life...
...Yogyakarta...
Elin and I went down the mobis driven by Mr. Jarwo. In front of us, there was a very magnificent building with dozens of towering floors.
“Then, I will wait in the parking lot.” Said Mr. Jarwo as he prepared to leave.
“Thanks, Mr. Jarwo. Maybe we will take about 1 to 2 hours to complete our requirements.” I said as I fixed my black and white tie and suit.
“It's my job for that. Then good luck Young Master.” Said Mr. Jarwo. He immediately drove the sedan and went to a fairly shady parking lot.
After preparing my heart and mind for a while, I turned to the right.
The figure of a very graceful woman with black hair that is long enough to reach her back. The hair He let unravel which further adds to his beauty.
With those black clothes and short skirts, Elin looked really charming in my eyes.
“Are you ready, Eric?” Ask Elin briefly.
“Of course. Let's hope we make it through all these annoying problems.”
We both entered the building immediately.
Some security guards greeted us kindly and opened the big door.
A door….
Which signifies the dryness of our bags both.
