The hegemonic nation called the Empire did not have a name.

Names were tools used to differentiate oneself from others. An Emperor was one who ruled all the peoples, all the tribes, who held sway over all his allied kingdoms, a king of kings and lord of lords. He was matchless in his domain and military might. He was a singular, insuperable existence. By this line of arrogant thinking, the Empire would need no name.

The river that flowed from the glaciers to the sea was called the River Ro. It would take two days to travel on foot from the sea to the Imperial Capital.

Shipping vessels travelled back and forth along the River Ro.

The Imperial Palace was situated on the easternmost side of the five hills of the Imperial Capital, and the hill called Sadela had an expanse of flat ground on one of its slopes. There was a beautiful alabaster building on each of its sides, and all of them were surrounded by a broad stretch of forest. This beautiful green color was the dominant tone throughout the Palace.

The mansion on its southern ward belonged to Zorzal El Caesar, the oldest son of the Emperor, and Piña Co Lada's brother from another mother.

He was pressing a woman down onto a chiffon-veiled bed. He grabbed her neck from behind and pulled it up, enjoying the interplay of pain and pleasure on her face, his grunts and her moans mixing together as he lost himself in his bliss.

"My, my Prince, please, please forgive me..."

"Hmph, is that all the queen of the Warrior Bunnies can handle? Hm, I'm sure you can make better sounds than that. Moan for me."

However, as he looked down on the Bunnygirl whose body was already twitching as she passed out, Zorzal slapped her buttocks with a "Hmph!" and dumped her onto the bed like a used toy.

The white-skinned woman rolled off the bed like a broken doll. The impact returned her to consciousness, and her body shuddered.

Her hair was as white as snow, and two fur-trimmed ears stuck out from the sides of her head. However, her body was covered in bruises, bite marks, and many other signs of violence.

This women is Tyuule. Three years before the appearance of the Gate, Tyuule ruled over her people, the Warrior Bunnies, in the plain's northeast of the Empire. When the Empire waged war on them with the objective of gaining slaves, she and the Warrior Bunnies fought savagely against their enemies. While they were able to kill many Empire's soldiers plus their superior fighting power, their enemies ultimately won due to vast their superior numbers. As a last resort, Tyuule offered herself to Prince Zorzal in exchange for the safety of her people.

Unbeknownst to her, Zorzal arranged for his forces to wipe out the Warrior Bunnies anyway, enslaving those who surrendered and killing those who did not. Also, he arranged the information as to make the Warrior Bunnies believe Tyuule sold them out to save herself. Due to this, her own people branded her a traitor and vowed to kill her in revenge. Tyuule endured Zorzal's abuse believing that her sacrifice allowed her people to be safe but her belief was wrong

"If you pass out from just that much, you won't be able to satisfy me..."

"Please forgive me..." the woman moaned in a trembling, small voice. Her red eyes looked over to him as she climbed off the cold stone floor and back onto the bed.

"Try harder, then. Your people's fate depends on it."

"Please show mercy, my Prince, my people..."

Just then a soldier entered in panic.

Zorjal became angry at this.

"You idiot! How dare you enter without my permission!?"

But the soldier gasped

"Prince, we are under attack. Demons have attacked us. Gods have declared war on us."

Zorzal was shocked after hearing the soldier's words. He tossed Tyuule aside and stood up.

He could not remember any event that would anger the gods.

"Understand what you're saying!? What Do you mean the gods attacked us?"

" My Prince, Please believe me. Suddenly many monsters appear and start attacking us. They have already started their rampage in the capital."

"What!"

Zorzal gets nervous. But he managed himself and said

"Gather all our troops. I want to know who attacked us."

"Yes, my Prince!"

...

Mizari is walking on the road.

Today was just like any other day for her until she heard a loud noise. Hearing the noise, she became very frightened.

Screams were heard from all sides.

People around are running away in panic.

Mizari also panicked as she looked around confused.

A giant fire devil that tears down the walls of the capital like they were nothing to him.

Even the soldiers of the empire who had gone through many battles were terrified at the sight of this hideous monster.

Many soldiers dropped their weapons and started running.

More figures began to appear from behind this monster. They are carrying different types of weapons. These were humans, dwarves, elves, Mintors, etc.

They started killing the soldiers mercilessly.

Also, many huge ships can be seen in the sky from which many figures are jumping and landing on the ground.

Mizari saw this and started running away like everyone else. But before they got too far, they saw some more monsters.

Those who are blocking the road. Seeing them, they became more frightened. Because they are Undead. These Undead ones are carrying two-meter long shields.

In front of these Undeads are some more Undeads.

But they are different. They carry no weapons. They dress up like magicians. All of them carry an orb in their right hand.

"Don't try to escape. Sit on your knees. If anyone disobeys us the consequences will be death."

People become more nervous. Many people try to flee but they all die instantly. Seeing this, the other people fell on their knees.

One by one, the Wyvern Raiders, dedicated to protecting the capital's skies, are crashing to the ground.

The air force of the Sorcerous empire has already dominated the skies.

...

Scene change

Borhos is a Centurion. He is a caring Imperial commander

Now Borhos and his men ran towards the barrack. The screams grew louder. They could not believe their eyes.

Some terrible monsters are attacking the soldiers. The soldiers that the monsters were killing are merging the bodies of those soldiers with their own bodies.

Many soldiers tried to kill the monsters, and many soldiers fled in fear. Everyone is terrified

"Ahhhhh!"

"Help us!"

"Gods! Help"

"Deliver us from evil!"

They started screaming

Many cried in fear. Then a solders approached them

" Centurion Borhos !"

"ah! You are okay?"

"Um... Yes"

"These monsters are very dangerous! We asked for help with more force, they will come soon! Please command us"

".. OK. Prepare yourself"

"These monsters are terrible. After killing you, these monsters will attach your body to them. Hurry up!"

More troops also arrived. Everyone came and was horrified to see the horrible form of those creatures.

"Monsters!"

"Where did these come from?"

"Don't be afraid! Formation!"

"Attack the archers!"

Centurion Borhos shouted

Hundreds of archers attacked those monsters. However, they were not harmed by the impact of the arrows.

Demi-Humans, Goblins, and Orcs attacked those monsters. The monsters began to attack everyone. They also combined the bodies of Demi-Humans, Goblins, and Orcs with their bodies. Many soldiers were frightened. Because they have never faced anything like it before.

" Cavalry attack!"

Hundreds of cavalry began to attack the monsters.

"Infantry attack !"

Most of the soldiers panicked. To strengthen their morale, the commanding officers said, "Don't be afraid! We number thousands and the monsters only few. Of course, we will win!"

The soldiers have regained some of their morale.

Those monsters have constantly released clouds of spores on soldiers and attacked them. The Imperial army is also trying to kill those monsters.

Then a huge ship appeared in the sky. Many figures from the ship began to landed on the ground.

Different from the monsters they had been facing.

These men were clad in armor and carried cold weapons in their hands.

Seeing these, the soldiers of the empire became more nervous.

A Beastman with an ax came forward from among the newly appeared figures.

He pointed his ax at the Empire soldiers and shouted

"Charge!"

...

Molt sat on his throne.

Then some soldiers came running to him.

"Your Highness! We are under attack."

Molt was shocked to hear them.

"What are you saying!? Who dared to attack us? Also, how did they reach the capital so quickly?"

"My lord, we do not know who they are. Please come with us."

Hearing the soldiers, Molt stood up.

After a while, they reached the balcony of the palace.

Molt's eyes widened at the sight outside. He couldn't believe his eyes.

He saw many strange huge objects floating in the sky. Screams are also heard from all sides. Smoke is flying from many parts of the capital.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, Your Majesty."

Molt said grabbing the collar of a soldier next to him.

"What do you mean you don't know!"

"My lord, calm down. This started a while ago. They appeared suddenly and started attacking us. We don't know who they are"

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

"What do you mean calm down! My capital is under attack. What did you do? Where did they come from?"

But suddenly this Soldier's head is crushed.

Blood spattered on Molt.

People around are also surprised.

They drew their swords.

". . . ."

"... who are you?"

They looked at a man and said.

"Ah! Sorry to interrupt you. I'm Zack. I have come to take Emperor Molt. "

"What?"

The soldiers on Molt's side prepared to attack Zack.

But before they could react, their entire bodies were separated.

Some more images appeared around.

They were dressed like ninjas.

"Sir, please don't resist. You shall not be killed until the Emperor orders. So don't worry. We'll just lock you up. We will do you no harm."

". . . ."

"...did you come from the other side of the gate?"

Molt said doubtfully

"You guessed right. We are from the Sorcerous Empire. The nation your army attacked. That's what we're here for. We have already destroyed most of the soldiers in your capital. Soon we will occupy this entire region. But don't worry. You are safe. We'll get you out of here. Please come with us."

He said with a mischievous smile.

Molt looked at him.

"Do I have any other options?"

"No, sir. Please do not resist. You are helpless."

He said with a devilish grin

"No one will come to save you. We have already captured all the members of your family and all the highest present in the capital. So rest assured you are not alone"

...

Japan

Piña's eyes were closed, but she still heard what passed between Itami and Risa.

The two of them were supposed to be divorced, but they sounded like they were still getting along pretty well. Of course, Piña could not understand what they were talking about, but because she could not understand the content, she studied their voices and tone and came to that conclusion. Perhaps he was particularly sensitive about her. That said, it was still quite troubling that she could not understand their words. For all she knew, they might be discussing something important which could determine the fate of the Empire and herself. With that in mind, Piña willed herself to learn Japanese by any means necessary.

Of particular note were the forces on this side of the "Gate" which did not wish the peace talks to take place. Piña was especially cautious about them. According to Itami, the top three strongest nations in this world were America, Russia and China in that order. She became angry because the Empire's fate would be decided by the three of them fighting with each other. At the very least, she hoped that she could cooperate with the peace-loving factions, and ensure the Empire's survival through diplomacy, because there was no way they could beat them in terms of military power. Even if she could not defeat her opponent, however, she had no intention of simply letting the heavens decide her fate. As a member of the royal family, she was forbidden from doing so.

Letting the heavens decide was a foolish move, because the heavens would bring both good and bad things.

The nobility of the Empire could only rely on their personal strength in the end. Because of that, she needed to understand what was happening on this side of the "Gate". Japan's situation was obvious enough, but she also needed to understand what was going on in the countries called America, Russia and China. She could not do these things by herself. After returning to Italica, she would have to rely on Hamilton, Panache, Nicolatica, Suisses, and the other members of her knight band to help her. After returning to the Empire, she would have to report to the Emperor. Then there was the matter of persuading the Senate.

She had recovered a "gun" from the resort. She had concealed it about her without letting Itami know, and after confirming the feeling she got from it, she knew that she had to bring it back to the Empire in one piece, no matter the cost. There was also the matter of the "art" she saw here, and Piña quietly gathered her determination.

...

Empire

When Zorzal was going with his men, they saw many burnt las around.

Zorzal's nose twitched at the burning smell of the bodies . As they went a little further, they saw some people. But they were not human.

They look like lizards. But they were emitting a strong aura. They wearing armour

"Who are you!? Did you do these things?" shouted Zorzal.

The lizardmen looked at Zorzal and his men

"We are members of the 7th Lizardmen company of the Sorcerous Empire army. Who are you?"

"Sorcerous empire? I've never heard of that name. How dare you barbarians lie to me! Imprison them!"

Zorzal ordered his men.

The men with Zorzal drew their weapons and ran towards the lizardmen.

Then a lizardman swings its ax in the air.

At this, the body of Zorzal's men split into two, along with their horses.

Zorzal was shocked to see this. He fell from his horse. Because Zorzal's horse also got scared and threw Zorzal to the ground and ran away.

Zorzal panicked and took out his sword.

His hands are shaking though

"Don't come near me! I am Zorzal El Caesar. Future Emperor of the Empire. If you harm me, the empire will not spare you."

"...Hmm. Then you are a prince. But take a good look around you. There is no empire to protect you. We have destroyed everything. But don't worry We will not kill you."

"You're telling the truth!?"

Zorzal said hopefully

"Yes. For now, we will just imprison you"
