Chapter 33 : Run or not Run

"Krehsol, that noblemen is just a 3rd son of the viscount koros of the colos city.

In this war every men ranging from 20 to 30 must participate, even nobles too.Like your brother, there are many others who are living west of this country must join the army!

Don't worry pray to the moon goddess for his safety. "

A war broken out in the west which forced every 20-30 year old men to must join in?

Hearing this i become shocked. West of this kingdom is Hussar kingdom,so the war actually started?

I started to sweat heavily after knowing this info. If it west of the kingdom's mobilization then soon it will be whole countries mass mobilization!

If it is now limited to 20-30 age male only, than it may become 1-100 both male and female!

I gulped a mouthful of saliva. I just started to enjoy my life but become terrified suddenly!

I thought that i have 1 year to figure out about a way to have my mana tip-off, but it seems that i don't have much time!

Thinking about booking the hotel room after spending 3000 thousands gold coin, i was thinking that i caught a big fish, but now i feel like i swallowed a mouthful of dung!

If i got this information earlier, than i would have never booked that room for a whole year!

I originally had 20,889 gold coins before entering the city. Then i spend 10 gold coins to buy magic beasts meat, spend 350 coins behind this inscribed black robe and booked a room for 3000 gold coins.Now i have 17,529 gold coins only.

No no no, Aetius think like a pro don't act impatient. The war has just began. It will take a lot of time to reach a situation where kingdom will be forced to send their future generation to the certain death!

War between kingdoms is not like those stupid wars of the nobles for territory or women's or wealth, that lasts only for about week at best. This is a war that involves fate of millions of people's of the both country's.

War of this size can't be decided with a few battles, it will take huge amount of time,wealth,manpower.

Throughout 1,000 years of this kingdoms history, there have been 3 great wars fought between these 2 countries. In the last war 121 years ago, we lost after a war of 9 long years and lost 1 / 3rd of total landmass !

Our kingdom back then ordered 14 year old men's to join the war after 3 years of brutal war.So if they still got strength like then or even half at least. Then i have at least 1 year.

But i can't be relaxed because of this. After 1 year of brutal war, they will not let anyone to get out of this country easily lest losing cannon fodders.

If running is a only option, then it is the best time to do so. After 1 year or so it will become tougher to get out of this kingdom, which become meat grinder to ordinary people like Aetius.

A danger passed another one jumped out. Seeing the situations, it will be best if i just run to a different place and start with a new identity. But i don't think it will be a good decision in the long run.

Aetius started to consider to run away or stay and do hia best have a mana tip-off.

Lets first think about pros and cons of run away or not to run away. Let's first go to my room and think with peace of mind. This place is becoming more rowdy and noisy.

I have no apetite right now, let's first think about the current question whether to start a new identy or stay here.

I quickly came infront of my room and oped it with my ring. I quickly sat on my bed started to consider my options.

If i can run away i can stay out of this quagmire for good. But the question which kingdom or empire to run.What is the guarantee that there will there will be no war or any troubles?

Starting with a new identity is easier said than done.Here i at least have a Foundation, even if it is a lot shallow one.

I am now a weak teen with no mana in body, it is not wise for me go out of this place to take a chance as it will endanger my life.

I have a system with me, so i have a chance to become invincible by only depending on the system only .All is needed is to stay in a safe place to level up my system and unlock It's all functions.

Also i have a chance to naturally awaken in one year. Although chances are very small but it is still a possibility. If i abandon this identify, i will also lose the chance to go to the mage subcontinent. Adriana subcontinent mages only accepts students from legal ways to maintain good relationship with the currently legal powerful factions.

If i leave this identity and suddenly one day have mana tip-off, then i can only curse myself till i die! Though there are illegal ways, but can i really go with illegal ways?"

After thinking for a lot of time, i decided not to run but focus on upgrading the system and wait for the chance to awaken.

Aetius opened his system panel in his head,
