Chapter 5: A spark of a war

Jonathan's P.O.V

I am in the carriage with the twins, flying of course and was communicating with Raphtalia in my mind

"Raphtalia, are you there?" I asked out as I sweat nervously

"Yes, I am here." She responded

"Good because I want you to do something for me." I told her

"What is it?" she asked

"I need you to act as if we have never seen each other in years." I answered

"What? Why?" she asked

"Well, according to history, after we defeated the bad guy, we had gone our separate ways for some reason and never saw each other ever again." I explained

"I'll try, John." she said as I ended the message as Mare started to ask

"Are you ok, my lord?" she asked

"Yes, just fine." I told her

"You were silent the whole ride, my lord." she told

I looked through the window and saw the capitol

"Yes, I tend to do that because I never had people riding with me for a long time." I told them

as we descend and parked our carriage at front and then I saw a familiar figure came to open the door

"Ahh, If it isn't my favourite subject, Subaru!" I said as I pat him by the shoulder

"Well, I'm honoured that you think of me as your favourite subject, sir." he said with a cunning smile

'Same old Subaru' I thought as me and the twins followed Subaru to the war room.

As we enter, there's so many generals to count and as they saw me, they bow to me like I'm a god

"Please, there's no need to bow." I told them

"But you're the demon lord." A general spoke

"I am just a fellow comrade willing to help out that is all" I told them

"Of course they fear you, Lord John. We all do." A familiar voice

I spun around and saw Crusch Karsten and her trap boyfriend, Felix Argyle as they bow.

"Well, I just wanted to be treated like you treat others." I told them

"We know but we have to treat you like one because you will lead the war." she said

'HOW DID IT GET TO THIS?! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LEAD AN ARMY?!?!'

my was mind was at panicked

'SHUT THE HELL UP AND THINK!' a voice in my head shouted

'Ok, that was not real.' I reassured

"As expected, you humans don't rely on yourself to save the world and only look at the only solution." I roasted them

"But we tried many tactics and we still failed!" a general said

Crap so whatever the witch cult did, it certainly buffed their strengths up.

"If they want to play dirty then we play dirty." I said as I walked to the map

"Which part is taken over?" I asked

"Karagi, Cushleko, and the volakia empire." A voice said

I looked up to see the man I dreamed to meet and another one, Roswaal and Reinhard Van Astrea

"Nice of you to join us, Roswaal, Reinhard." I said

"Well, we can't just let them take our home, can we?" Roswaal said as they both walked to the war map.

I then clicked on the border and saw the ongoing war and saw the monstrosity of it.

"What you're about to witness is something very strange but do not worry, this is war after all." I told them as I summoned something

"Cum philosophia potest ciere victus armis pertractata!!" I said as many mage soldiers with guns fly to the battlefield, killing the mages with ease and leaving the room with shock and awe.

"Freedom without laws means anarchy but laws without freedom means tyranny." I said and they were confused

"I guess you could say that in war, we do what is necessary to ensure peace." I told them

Then the evil herself burst into the door and marched to me

"Ready for battle, sir!" she said saluting me

"At ease." I told her as she did what she's ordered

"Prepare operation: Grabenkämpfe and Todesbringer" I told her

"Jawohl!" she said and marched out to fly over there.

"Who is that?" Karsten asked

"A general of mine." I answered.

Then Raphtalia came in and I went to her and hugged her and went back to the map. We then look at the battlefield as more soldiers fought off the witch cult's mages as they fled back to the half part of the volakia empire. I then saw as my army of lizards, skeletons and many monsters fight off what looks like mongolian people

"No wonder." I said in a worried tone

"What is it?" Raphtalia questioned me

"It looks like Khotun Khan wants to conquer the world with the witch cult." I said as I pointed out the soldiers that we're being shot at.

"No wonder our men we're brutally slaughtered!!" A general shouted in anger

"We need to..." I stopped as I began to faint.
