《Building a modern kingdom》 The chase A heavy rain accompanied by arrows is pouring down to our carriage. Shoook! Shook! The arrows keep on coming one after another. As the arrows come in contact with the carriage, debris of pierced wood falls to the ground. Some arrows had successfully penetrated to the wall and landed an inched miss onto the soldier head. Fear can be seen in the two soldier''s faces. Their skin is pale as a dead man. They can''t even move properly as their unnatural breathing pattern can be heard Heyah! Heyah. Throw everything that''s heavy! Faster! Faster!.You two. you prick bastards! load that bow with an arrow and fire it to the enemy! For God''s sake! Are you not a soldier!. As the Captain shouted at thetop of his lungs. Tension can be heard in the captain''s voice, he maintains his composure and manage to make some judgement Though both soldiers had just finished military training yesterday, their first actual combat is far greater for them to endure. The two of them tried to shoot, but their hands are shaky and cannot aim properly. Some arrows are fired, but its accuracy is great off. A heavy infantry is chasing us. The sound of horse galloping is like a death alarm. The muddy poodles splash as the horse run straight to it. Unsheathed sword sounds are being heard from every corner. Don''t let them get away! Scream by the enemy. Keep shooting the arrow! Forward! One of the enemies sharp shooter was waiting at the top of a mountain, he stretches the bow string and tighten his grip on the handle, the tension can be felt as the string bends the bow''s limb. He slowly moves his arm horizontal pairing the speed of carriage and the aim of his bow. He calculates instinctly and made some judgement. He predicted the path that the carriage will go to and aim for that predicted spot .As the carriage got nearly 1 meter to his predicted spot he let go of the String. Twang!.. The arrow head pierce through the wind, droplets of the rain splutter as the arrow passed through it. Swooshhhh. The arrow directly hit the carriage and peirce through the wall When a soldier tried to throw something off of the carriage at the moment he stands up he felt pain in his ear. Ahhhhhh! I''m gonna die! I''m gonna die! He heard a bell like ringing sound as he scream loudly.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. The arrow hit his ears and stock to the wooden post of the carriage Ahhhh. Bastard! Captain help me! My ear! The soldier shouted. He tried to pull the the arrow, but it won''t budge. Kalamlan! Cut his ear off! captain shouted to one of the the soldiers. But captain kalamlan responded with a shaky voice. I said cut his ear off! Yes, captain. He approached the other soldier and cut his ear off despite the begging of that soldier. The enemy tried to go on board the carriage some even jump from their horse, but at the end they failed The captain keeps on whipping the horse to run faster. The whip hits the horse''s butt heyah! Faster dumb fat pigs! The horse gallops faster and faster, pulling the carriage faster than the chaser. The carriage keeps swaying from left to right as the wheels hit some rocks, and run over to the unpaved roads As a treasurer I can only sigh. How on earth did this thing happen. Fear left my body as age comes by but for this Lord its unfortunate to die in this manner. It''s already midnight and the rain is pouring down. We had manage to escape from our chaser. We entered the town of Piaong it''s a town where prosperity is unheard of. Ipressed both my hands to stop the bleeding from the wound of the Young lord. How unfortunate for this man to be stabbed by his brothers. The lord''s face paled as and his body temperature begun to drop. The village chief had been awakened by our sudden arrival. he gets out his house carrying a wooden club and tried to say a word, but the captain cut his way into the village chief and show the token of the young lord family. We quickly entered a room made of wood and bamboo and there we lay down the Lord. Prepare some hot water and clean cloth! I can only clean the wound and prevent blood from rushing out to the young lord''s body. Cold his body is cold as an ice! Village chief ! Does this village have any doctor?I asked, only to received a sorry face. I''m sorry your honor, but this village is the outskirts of town and only once a month a doctor come by. Village chief said. Then we can only wait for what''s going to happen next. I said. After 3 days the young lord miraculously awakens and little of disarray for this 3 days I did not let out a single glimpse of worry . Where am I? The Lords question. You''re in the town of piaong my lord. I answered Who are you? What''s happening? The Lord asked again. Fright and confusion can be seen in his face as his voice becomes shaky. Young lord have you forgotten what had happened 3 days ago?. I''m Alfred your personal consultant and your treasurer. I have begun to worry. People sometimes get traumatised when they get into a life and death situations and the brain tries to forget that memory for once safety. I have begun to explain the chase we had encountered and suddenly the Lord has begun to quiet for a little while and after a couple of minutes he has begun to speak something I could not even comprehend. Status! Settings! Administrator! Window! Status window! There''s nothing! The Lord has begun to pronounce words that even I don''t know the meaning of. Did the Lord injure his head and now he act like a crazy person? I can only sigh. Time travel Life is hard. And even harder for me, I had worked at various companies as a software developer. The pay is good only if you don''t have a family. My specialisation as a developer is being left behind by the sudden boom of cloud computing and AI boot. now anybody can develop an application even if they did not study as an IT Well, not liked old times ha. I murmured. I walk along the road of Nursery st. And begun to daydream that I had reverse the time. Where I can freely choose the time I wanted to enter. I''m 28 years old now nearly 30. It''s not the age where a man can''t change their career path. But I''m tired to look for something new. I''m tired to start something where all of my colleagues and friends are far ahead of me. I open the Door of my apartment, it''s not big and not too small. I have a small bed and small space for my table and computer not that much, but it''s a place to stay. I open my computer and begun to code something like a time travel application where the user can leap through time to the time they want to go to. Starting from 1 line of code to hundreds and thousands of lines and then finally about 3 hours I''m finished. I Tested the app. Oh great, it''s running fine! <2016> And suddenly the electricity cut off. The whole city experiences a total blackout.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. I fell to the ground and passed out. [the electricity comes back on minutes later] [the monitor keeps blinking and showing an alert status] -------------------------------- I open my eyes, the first thing I saw is an old man wearing a silk cloth with a red long coat and a trouser. The man has deep, heavy eyes, wrinkled forehead and a white beard. I begun to question him with some questions, but the answers I get is different from what I define as reality. I begun to ponder my head. The last thing I remember is that I made an application designed to travel time, but it''s merely an application a nothing of a real time travel machine Ha! I really travel back through time? But this does not look like 2016!. Did I reincarnated into a game like MMORPG games?. I begun to say something like the MC of a novel would say, when they appeared in a strange place. To my disappointment status or whatsoever didn''t float or any game like system did not rung in my head. I felt pain in my chess. I noticed a wound in my upper body. As I tried to get up my body begun to ache. I decided to lay down The room is made of wood and bamboo the floor is earth and the bed is stripped of bamboo piece together. The ray of sunlight passed to the holes in the roof. So based on Mr Alfred story the body I possess is the 3rd in line of successors of the king the culprit for my injuries are this man''s brother. This body''s name is John kingship of the empire blood kingship! I''m starving would you mind to serve me some food Aflred sir. Yes young lord. Alfred nodded. He exited the room and came back after a while. Beside him is a man holding a pot A man wearing a rug cloth with untidy hair. Scars are imprinted all over in his body, thick callous form in his palm. My lord, it seems that the village chief left early in this morning and this man''s name is aulrad he is the assistant of the chief Forgive me, Lord. boiled potatoes is the treasure of our house and this is the most precious thing I can offer to you. The two of them lowered their heads 6 months had passed from the last harvest now we are relying on some planted crops at a garden. Aulrad added. Ohh, so what crops are you now growing in the field? I asked with some expectation to know what these people are planting. Nothing my lord, we let untouched for a year, so the soil can be rich. And why is that it takes too long don''t you have a fertilisers?. With a confuse face . None Lord. fertiliser is worth of a year food for us. This village is the poorest place I live on what can I do to live comfortably these words did not slip out of my mouth. After a moment. A grin face from myself can be seen. Farming Piaong, a village governs by the kingship empire currently there are 20 families living on it with a range of 4 to 5 family members, it''s population consist 35 women, 40 men and 15 children. The villagers rely on crops for living. Their common tools used for farming were metal plough for digging and Harrow for covering the soil their production is limited due to lack of knowledge on fertiliser and farming animals John surveyed the field to his dismay the soil is dry and a lot of weeds had sprung up. He surveyed the village in every corner asking like where do they throw their waste. Their drinking water. What occupations Beside farmer Later on He called out all the farmers. He has grouped them into 3. One would pick up the weeds and wild plants into the field, the second group will collect all rotten branches or logs, rotten fruits. 3rd group will collect the waste of wild animals specially goats horses and throw it to the field. A lot of scepticism is going around onto the villagers, and they cannot refuse because a noble particularly a son of a king had ordered them *** [3 peasants having a conversation] Eh? What does he want to do? I don''t know, just follow it as if we can oppose him. Bastards noble! Does a noble know about farming, they just sit around and fill their stomach all day long. Is he planning to make our field into a wasteland? Ha, rotten logs! Animal waste! Cooking water! fuck! He''s toying us. Hey, keep your voices low. Opposing nobles is a big crime But how can we follow him! When his orders are meant to destroy our field and laugh when he achieved what he desire. What if we kill him. There are only three guards around and where 20. How about we gather later this evening and attack his camp. I would rather not do that. Think he''s the son of the king what would a king do if he received a news that his son is dead. our families will be beheaded! and the village will burn to the ground! Are you not afraid?You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Yeah yeah I get it. Is he truly the King''s son? you heard the rumor right?! that the king is dead! Hey hey hey! Be quite a guard is coming towards us *** What a forsaken place there is a lot to be changed in this village. It takes 3 to 4 weeks to prepare the land for planting and months for the crops to be harvested. Oh come on john think please! What ways can I do to make this village prosper Should I order them to hunt wild animals while waiting for the soil to be fertile. What kind of noble is this man! Escaping without even taking a single gold coin hayst. By the way, what year is this? I''ll probably ask Alfred later on, in the mean time, let''s fucos on hunting. Oy Alfred! yow come over here. Yes lord. I''m planning to hunt animals to fill our stomach what tools do we have?. We have 2 swords and a bow with 3 arrows my lord. Hmm, not much for hunting or maybe I make a trap. [A peasant carrying rotten fruits caught the eyes of john] Ey! What''s that. John asked. my lord greetings my lord! this I don''t what is this I had Pick up this inside the forest. Peasant said. [the peasant that had been called was one of the 3 people conversing a while ago. At his surprise the Prince had called him.] oh shit did he heard the we backstabb him. Peasant thinking. Peasant thinking Alfred do you know this fruit is? John asked. I''ll rather not call that a fruit my lord, it may look like a fruit, but there is not much to it. There''s a slight sweet coating in the seed. Alfred said. Oh is that it. What''s its name? John said. I''m not sure my lord. Alfred replied. Take me to where you picked this. John said. I''ll humbly obey your order. Follow me lord. This is where I had pick up this thing. [A number of wild cacao trees was displayed in John''s views] Oh shit! I know what to do now! Gather the other villagers that don''t have a work. Tell them to pick all this fruit and bring them to the village. John said. *** After ordering the peasants to collect the said fruit. John begun to construct a wooden cage . He gathers wooden branches with a size of an adults arm The is cage 4 by 3 in meters the trap door mechanism is when an animal step foot onto the string that''s holding the door open, the String will snap thus trapping the animal inside. He picks some red fruits and red leaves that the deers are attracted to. There were 8 traps in total. My lord will this thing called deer trap work?aflred said. Hahaha, just believe in me. Certainly my lord. Alfred said. Let''s head back now to the village. The Prince arrived at the village and order the peasants to collect the seeds and dry it under the sun. It feels good to smell the aroma of chocolate. I should refine it and see if it clicks to market. [We caught a deer! We caught a deer!] What a day. OK tomorrow let me fucos rebuilding the villager houses. its good to imagine the faces of those villagers when they see a concrete house. The only problem is that I don''t know the process of making cement!
