Kingly Adventures

Chapter 7: Arrival and Easy Conquest (Part 3)

Alex O'Connell was worried about the condition of his family and Lin. He had found himself buried neck deep in the ground after he woke up and his head was covered in a box with holes to let the air in. The last thing he remembered that he was knocked out after that Wang fellow brought them before the old mummy.  In midst of the severe headache he was experiencing, he remembered that it was the mummy who ordered Wang to knock them out. That mummy was very clever but he did not understand why he was kept alive as according to legends the dragon emperor was a cruel and ruthless person. Alex did not want to guess what was going through the rotten brain of that mummy. Alex was more worried where his family was. He tried to move but he could  not budge an inch. Alex cursed the bastards who had tied him up and imprisoned him in such a manner. Alex decided to shout so that at least someone would come to check on him or hopefully someone from his family would reply. Alex shouted but only heard his muffled voice and then he noticed that his mouth was tied too. Alex once again cursed the bastards. Suddenly the box was lifted up and before he could see where his captors were, he felt searing pain in his head and the last thought in his mind was to teach the ass who had hit him a very painful lesson.

Alex woke up to the feeling of water being thrown at him.  As he opened his eyes, he saw  a group of soldiers surrounding him, one held a bucket and two were digging him out while the last one was pointing his gun at him. Alex was dragged and thrown in front of the tent. After sometime he heard familiar thumps of being thrown on the ground, Alex turned to his right  and found his father, uncle and the old bastard lying on the ground, they were all tied up in similar manner. Alex then heard his mother's shout and turned to his left and saw his mother and Lin standing there covered in mud. Alex realised that they were also imprisoned in the same manner as him. Alex was incensed but Lin's anguished cry of mother attracted his attention and he saw a woman covered in blood and mud. The woman apparently Lin's mother was in much worse condition than them.

Alex's attention was attracted to that bastard Wang who said, " Well, all our esteemed guests are here. His majesty wants to meet you."

Alexander, after the departure of General Wang studied the connection between him and the terracotta army and the apparent immortality granted by the pool of life. The terracotta army was connected to him and till he remained alive, the terracotta army would remain immortal, even if they were vapourisd, they will reform. Alexander himself would remain alive till any single cell of him remains in existence. Thus, in theory he could survive nuclear explosion but Alexander did not want to test this theory any time soon. Also any soul attack can also kill him. Alexander remembered that Imhotep was offed in a similar manner.  Alexander ordered 10 terracotta soldiers to stand guard inside the tent as he was going to meet the protagonists of this world. As General Wang brought them in front of him, Alexander said, " Can they understand me General Wang?" But Zi Yuan replied, " Yes,  we can understand you. Don't you remember me, murderer?"
Alexander smiled and said, " Yes, I remember you, Zi Yuan. You were the one who cursed me." General Wang immediately pointed his gun at her. Alexander gestured the General to stop. While they were talking, Alexander ordered 500 soldiers and archers to surround the tent. Alexander knew that it was somewhat excessive but he was not going to take  any chances.

Alexander then decided to kill the old traitor and threw a dagger at his head which he had in his robes. And from where did he get a dagger, in ancient times kings were buried with their weapons and moreover, when Zi Yuan cursed the dragon emperor he was in full battle armor. The reason Alexander killed the old man was because he was a traitor and to make himself mentally prepared to take similar actions in future. Even if he freezes up, he would be in no danger as all his enemies were tied up.  This idea came to him suddenly and he immediately executed it before he got cold feet. Alexander nearly threw up at the sight of blood and brain matter flowing out but held it in, Alexander quickly sobered up and realised that as a conquerer of worlds he will kill or order the death of countless people.
