(6:47 A.M., April 16th of the Year 2219)
This was the time and date displayed on the upper right corner of the illusory game screen in front of Feihren. Marking the 1st whole year when he first arrived in Nuwiell; It should be called his "first anniversary of him transmigrating" if that is something that would make any sense? Or is something that should be celebrated?
Feihren smiled faintly as he stood up from his bed. It was still early yet it would be a busy day for him, and the kingdom; So it was necessary for him to prepare himself as soon as possible. After grooming himself up in the washroom, Feihren hurriedly met with the important people within the kingdom.
Although only Feihren knew how "important" this day was in relations to him transmigrating; Coincidentally, this day of the year was indeed something that should be celebrated within the kingdom; well, every 5 years at that to be exact. The main agenda of the early meeting was;
"The grand meeting of the Kingdoms within the Blaz Continent, as to celebrate peaceful ties and the continuation of 'friendly trades'."
This was a cyclic tradition that would happen every 5 years, wherein representatives of different kingdoms would arrive at an assigned kingdom. the Wolfenstein Kingdom was coincidentally the kingdom that would be holding the event for this year.
Although everything was already planned out a few weeks ago, Feihren was still excited in anticipation. According to one of his military officers, the term "friendly trades" never meant something that would actually involve actual trading of goods, instead, in Earthly terms as to what Feihren understood, this was a "tactical exchange" meeting.
Within the throne hall, a roundtable was assembled. It did not take long before everyone arrived in accordance with what King Feihren requested…
"Why are you holding this meeting again?"
Marvin, who was seated beside Feihren inquired as to what exactly all this was for.
"Ah, I just want to make sure that everybody is awake and ready to meet our guests."
Feihren replied with a naïve expression on his face.
Marvin sighed as one of the elders in the Senate spoke up.
"Well, it seems that our king is enthusiastic about this event, and why would he not be? After all, this seems to be the best year for us to hold out head up high and be the proud "most powerful" kingdom within the Blaz Continent."
Another elder added. "Even more so now that we have expanded by a lot! This is all something that we should get excited about, it's not every day that we could boast our strength in the friendliest way possible, right?"
"True. True. Your Highness, it seems that this year would be something unique ey? It appeared to be something more "festive" than usual. Although we do not mind it at all, in fact, it's better this way, taking all this too seriously would just tire us out" A military officer added.
In truth, it seems that Feihren had misunderstood all this and has indeed prepared something that would only fit in the category of them celebrating a festival of some sorts. Back when this was held on other kingdoms, the whole event lasted for a week without anything relatively "fun" happening with it.
All they did was military talks and other types of kingdom business that would definitely bore out Feihren. Back on Earth, he wasn't the biggest fan of formal meetings, although he was somewhat a 'responsible' person, dragging things out was never his forte.
"It seems that this meeting would just continue with all us agreeing to what is already planned out… Let's just go and actually prepare, some of the closer kingdoms might arrive soon." Marvin sighed as he was listening to all the 'pointless' banters that these people were doing while Feihren was just all smiles; nodding to what they were saying.
"Our knights situated in Sechua City reported yesterday noon that the four southern kingdoms had made their way in there, which would mean that they would be arriving anytime soon if everything goes smoothly." One of the generals within the meeting spoke up as to add "importance" to this seeming pointless meeting.
"Oh? And how are the other 4 kingdoms?" Feihren inquired.
"The kingdoms that would be coming from the west should be able to pass through easily via the route established from the Garudia Kingdom, although it should not be a problem as they would not necessarily be stepping in Omod territory anymore." The general continued as he added.
"And for the last two kingdoms that would be coming from the eastern parts, it seems that the dwarves have solved the issue of them having to take a roundabout route, instead, a paved path that would head towards the New Coboro Village was made. Do not worry your Majesty, it is far from the territory of the Ranustin Kingdom, nor are we stepping into the lands of the Shodan Continent."
Feihren nodded in satisfaction as he gazed as Marvin, "See, this meeting has a purpose." He laughed as the prime minister Marvin just sighed in surrender.
"Well, I guess it's time to prepare ourselves. It would seem that it would take a few more hours before the first kingdom would arrive, I'll briefly head over to the Garudia Kingdom as to make sure everything is running smoothly."
Feihren dismissed the meeting as the people dispersed towards their assigned task within this 'special event'.

A group of people adorned with grandiose jewelry and dresses could be seen within the carriage that a cavalry was surrounding, these were the people that were sent to represent the kingdom of Vulieton one of the kingdoms at the center of the Blaz Continent. They boast the fact that they are the most successful in terms of the economy within the entire continent, it could be said that the accessible location that they have were the advantages of the kingdom.
"Does father really need us to be participating in all this? We are the proud Vulieton Kingdom; we don't need anything that would be related to "war". Only barbaric border kingdoms like the Wolfenstein kingdom would be needed this nonsensical 'trades'."
One of the princes within the carriage spoke up as he muttered about how useless all this 'traveling to another kingdom' was.
"Well, it shouldn't be something that would come in handy, besides, we will never know when the peaceful time would end. Might as well prepare ourselves for the worst."
Opposite him was his frail-looking younger brother who's seemingly more reasonable that the burly prince.
"I'll bet you a thousand gold coins that we are not gonna get anything important from all this." The burly prince replied.
"Oh? I'd gladly take on that bet my dear brother. Besides, I have a good feeling about this 'grand meeting'." Another one of the princes replied. This one had the looks of being a much more formal person, wearing a beautiful dress rather than tough equipment. It would have been most likely that he was effeminate.
Behind this group from the Vulieton Kingdom arrived another cavalry group, this time, they were not riding armored horses but armored feral beasts, these large animals were the means of transport by the Ghiharki (Ji-yar-key) Kingdom, the supposed farthest kingdom from the Wolfenstein Kingdom had arrived at the same time as the closer kingdom like the Vulieton. It proves the efficiency of these riders and their beasts in traveling huge distances.
Glancing towards the cavalry of the Vulieton Kingdom, the head of the Ghiharki party casually nodded as they sprinted forth towards the bridges that connect the Central Woodlands and the territory of Wolfenstein Kingdom.
Keenly staring at the rushing beasts, the burly prince commented.
"Well, it seems that some kingdoms are excited about all this."
