They entered the tower and climbed stairs after stairs. After reaching the top, he saw a simple room with just enough necessary things for leadership.

Behind a desk sat a 29-year old man, whose looks were refined and eyes so deep with wiseness as if it endured the vicissitudes of life.

"Could you leave us for a bit?" Matthias asked the guard. The guard looked at Asher questioningly and he nodded. The guard slowly backed off and left.

"Who are you?" Asher Yale asked.

Before answering, Matthias conjured a long thing wrapped in cloth, which bewildered Asher.

Matthias slowly unraveled the thing, and as he finished unraveling the top part, he held onto something that looked like a handle.

He slowly unsheathed the thing by holding onto the handle and slowly raising it while the other hand slid the cloth away, revealing a sword that shone with dazzling light.

Asher looked at it in awe. He looked at the mysterious man questioningly.

Matthias smiled and explained, "This has been forged long before the coronation of the first king of humanity."

Hearing just that bit of part, Asher's eyes widened. But what's been said next will be even more of a shock to him.

"..This sword is stronger than any sword existing on this land, for it is tempered for a thousand times, quenched in the Heavenly Lake, and blessed by the Divinity of his power." Matthias secretly snickered.

He absolutely exaggerated how it was made. He just forged it with the people of the east when he taught them how to forge and mine.

This sword was the first sword that was successfully completed by the first humans. He hid it and ascended.

When he discovered the functions of Divinity, he poured his power onto the sword and created a holy sword.

With its glistening divine light, it looked certainly new for Asher. "What is this?" Asher stammered as he looked at the sword.

"This is the Sword of Gloria, a sword forged from the crystal skies. This is one of the three swords of humanity. The Sword of Gloria symbolizes faith." Matthias spoke solemnly as he handed it to Asher."Guide the humans of the east to unify. I am here to help you." Matthias smiled and stood.

"Who.." Asher slowly asked, "..are you?"historical

"I am the 9th general under Lord Matthias, The Creator. I am the Mortal General Under Heaven, Wang Zhong!" Matthias declared while he activated his Divinity and released a small amount of power, making him shine with grandness. He also summoned his Sky Piercing Halberd that he created personally.

Seeing this spectacle and a weapon foreign to him that looked like a spear but even more powerful, Asher half-kneeled and placed his fist on his chest, "Greetings, Mortal General Wang Zhong!

"I shall train your men and lead them to battle, and you must come with me in the conquest! I shall teach you strategies to defeat soldiers three or even ten times your army's size!" Matthias declared.

This event became the start of humanity's development in military warfare and technology.

Asher introduced the "Mortal General Under Heaven" to the people of Yale and started their military development.

For the people, commoners upon commoners enlisted to become soldiers to protect their loved ones.

Matthias introduced undiscovered mines and taught them how to mine efficiently and forge professionally. He introduced more sturdy armors and helmets, and weapons that are even more lethal and intimidating.

He also made weights made of stones for training. He taught them how to fight using halberds and bows and arrows, and introduced them to cavalry horses.

They learned how to fight on a horse, fight on formation, change formations, protect the ranged units, and proper retreat and movement.

He also taught smart people, including Asher, how to become a general on the battlefield. He taught them formations and the proper use of units.

Slowly but surely, a developed and disciplined army was forming inside the Kingdom of Yale, shaping the development of the kingdom into a new superpower.

Fifteen years later, the army was ready. Over the course of fifteen years, the Kingdom of Sanster attacked five times and ended up failing.

Now, on the fifth attack, the gates of Fort Ivanhell opened slowly. From there, Asher Yale with his new muscular body, prepared for war, came out with Matthias and their army of twenty thousand.Below the walls of Ivanhell laid hundreds of corpses, and flustered and scared soldiers retreating.

Three thousand cavalrymen, five thousand archers, and twelve thousand footmen marched towards the escaping enemies.

A new concept of warfare appeared in this march of Ivanhell. Banners flew with the wind, a blue banner with the symbol of the yellow sun and a sword vertically laid in the middle of the ball of fire.

"Hu, Ah, Ahu!"

"Tunuuun!"

Shouts filled with strength and vigor reverberated across the valley, intimidating the enemies into surrendering. Cries of war horns sang across the field.

In the 23rd year of Falos, the east will be introduced to another type of warfare; Psychological Warfare.

"Gloria (Glory)!" Asher shouted.

"Victus(Victory)!" The soldiers responded.

"Yale en Victus (Victory of Yale)!" Asher shouted once more.

"Matthias nimus Victus(Victory in the name of Matthias)!" The soldiers responded.

While yelling, one by one, one person per regiment raised a pole with a symbol of the shining sun. In the middle was a robed man holding a sword downwards, looking holy and mighty.

This was the symbol of the Divine Church that they established inside the Kingdom of Yale to worship Matthias.

When the Divine Church was created, "Wang Zhong" stood in front of the Divine Cathedral that they built in those fifteen years. He spoke of how the world was created and the beings of the world with it.

"At first there was none. The Lord Creator Matthias waved his hand and there appeared the land and sea, but an empty and dull sky. He noticed it and created a ball of fire and raised it up to illuminate the world. He let the ball illuminate the world but the people need to rest, so he created the moon to gently illuminate the night."

While talking, the symbol of the church at the top of the cathedral shone with Divine Light. "Wang Zhong" also faced the light and kneeled towards it. With him, the people of Yale kneeled and praised their God.

He stood up and faced the people while bathing in divine light, "He created lush lands…" Matthias continued to create stories about the world's creation, convincing the people of Yale. He also introduced them to Elves, the keepers of the world.

Hearing the chants of the soldiers, Matthias smiled as he looked at the light of his Divinity increasing.

At the back of the army were people preaching the creation of the world.

At this very moment, the world of Alphan welcomed its very first Crusade.
