Rise Of The Dragon Emperor-Chapter 111 Legend of the second prince

Ronan was having the time of his life staying at Avalon . His typical day started with waking up at sharp 4 am in the morning , an hour before sunrise.

He would then do light jog and stretching while patrolling the palace walls for one hour until sun rose at around 5 am.

Ronan would then start to practice his lightning arts and his axe techniques while picking one fire technique from the royal library to learn every other week until he mastered it.

His training continued till 9:30 am in the morning after which he took a shower and joined his mother for breakfast.

After breakfast he would go to the wall construction site at around 10:30 and supervise the production process and test the quality of construction.

The plan was to build a two layered wall with a short wall in the outer ring and a taller wall in the inner ring with a ten feet distance between the two walls.

The idea behind this construction was that even if the enemy succeeded in breaching the first short wall , there was still a second high wall to stop their advance and the structure made it impossible for troops to use ladders to scale the war in seiges.

The first wall was to be 20 feet high while the second was to be 40 feet high with both walls having archery stations and inbuilt cannon structures..

The space in between the two walls was to be converted into a war supplies and multipurpose space during war times and a jogging track for civilian use in the non war times with beautiful paintings drawn on the inner sides and a careful architecture which aligned the archery holes as sunlight pockets.

The entire project was beautifully thought out but the complexity of construction became astronomically high as a result of it. Ronan had to oversee a lot of minor details to make sure that no oversight errors occured and the alignment of the structure was not affected one bit .

Usually Ronan had lunch at the construction site , as someone from the palace brought him his lunch daily , but more often than not it was Sierra or Luna who did.

After spending half the day on the construction site , Ronan returned to the palace at around 5 pm for the evening training session as he worked out from 5-9 pm sharpening his martial arts and sparring with the soldiers before having dinner at 9:15 and finally retiring for the day.

Most in the palace found his work rate to be exceptional however it still fell short compared to the mad work rate of the first prince Percy.

Waking up at 4 am , he had about the same schedule as Ronan , except he did the overseeing and training together at the dams construction site.

Choosing to drag heavy blocks of concrete himself rather than having 20 level 60 soldiers carry it , Percy would continuously push himself at work at all times.

He would swim in the water and make sure there were no sea monsters that would affect the safety of his crew and when the situation called for it , he would momentarily evaporate entire sections of water , to aid the construction as he would use his best spells at high intensity to stop the flow of an entire river.

Unlike Ronan who was just happy to eat properly cooked food , Percy was very particular with his nutrition as his meals were specially cooked and full of proteins and special herbs to aid his muscle and elemental affinity growth .

Percy would unhesitingly spend all the money he received for allowance on obtaining elixirs to improve body functioning as he knew that without going the extra mile and the external stimulus it would only be a matter of time before Ronan surpassed him.

For him the time for Ronan to surpass him had not arrived yet , and at the end of the year all clan youth summit Percy wanted to show Ronan that his big brother was still the alpha around the house.

The tournament was 2 months later and although Alexander had said nothing about it to the boys at the moment , Percy knew that it was his intention for both of the Draco children to participate.

He had overhead prime minister Leif and Alexander talk that this year’s summit was going to be a national games summit with 2 invitation spots to every friendly nation of Avalon with the grand price being 250,000 gold coins and a 5000 year old ginseng that was extremely beneficial to one’s body.

Percy could have given Ronan a heads up that such a challenge was upcoming but deep down he was scared to let Ronan know , as at this moment he needed every advantage that he could get to one up over his younger brother.

In his mind he knew that one day or the other Ronan was bound to surpass him by miles and he did not despise it. But to him his baby brother was still a baby and that time had not yet came. However even so , the huve levelling advantage that he used to hold over Ronan was now nullified in the 5 years he was not in Avalon and now the two brothers were most likely neck to neck in strength .

With Ronan having a superior elemental affinity he was already at a overwhelming advantage and hence Percy needed every last bit of an edge that he could secure to somehow end up as the ultimate winner.

For this purpose he trained like a madman from the minute he woke up to the minute he slept as he went the extra mile in preparing for the fight.

Even in his sleep he would think about shadow fighting Ronan as he would remember his moves and how to counter them.

With Ronan already having a potential master and him not choosing one , this year’s summit was also important because many of the top sects of Everlon would be attending , keeping an eye out for potential disciples.

For Percy the competition just meant much more than it could ever do for Ronan.

The interesting part was that while Percy trained in silence for the upcoming clash , the debate amongst the commoners became more and more intense by the day as to decide which of the two princes was the stronger one.

With Percy locked in as the crown prince of Avalon , there was no internal strife to see which one of the two succeeded the throne , however the commoners still wanted to speculate amongst themselves as to which of the two brothers was stronger.

The Avalonian people took a lot of pride in the achievements of both their princes as their heads would always stick up high when they talked about their treatment in Avalon and the future of their country to foreigners .

However this debate was about to create even more surreal atmosphere for the clash when it did finally happen .

***********

( Meanwhile the central empire , in the outermost merchant town of ravanclaw )

The general of the night king army had decided to look for the phoenix clan in what he assumed to be the biggest and strongest power in the continent amongst humans today.

The glorious central empire and the outskirt town of ravanclaw which was one of the easiest targets to be picked on

The general had high hopes from this expedition to find the information he was looking for and somehow return to his king with some good news.

This was the furthest he was willing to outreach before turning back , and if this expedition was also a failure he would go back empty handed anyways and face the kings wrath as a failed commander.

Nonetheless , over the past few weeks he had learnt a bit about the modern language and could now speak in a more normal dialect as he conversed with the scout

” How are the city’s defenses? ” he asked

” 10,000 soldiers , 13,000 or so men between the age of 20-60 and a weak wooden wall for protection.

There are 3 Archer towers and 7 mounted cannons to attack enemy wallbreaking machines , but the gate itself is not well constructed and is easy to breach”.

The general was pleased with the report as it seemed like the merchant town was not very well protected and could be easily taken down.

While the scouts report was accurate it missed a part where there was a world order balancer currently visiting the town , and the night kings army was about to find out firsthand as to how a lot of things had changed but a lot of things remained the same even after 1000 years had passed.
