A Brief Preparation

    A few days from now, the war that had been determined its time and place would begin soon. Over the next few days, Veroa, assisted by Karina, prepared various war necessities for the soldiers. In Tungsten City, news of this war has only spread but very quickly people – people have heard the news. Moreover, outsiders like traveling merchants who heard this certainly felt surprised and interested to find out more. Then, slowly the whole Kingdom of Sylvani heard this news until it reached the ears of King Danmark and Queen Roya.

    Brother – his other brother is certainly more surprised to hear his brother declared war on the grounds that the Kingdom of Rome did not give up the perpetrators of the crime in question. The younger sister, Luna Terryenia is hysterical and worried about her beloved sister's condition. He was angry at his brother's recklessness and several times intended to go to the battlefield to help, but surely his parents would not allow him any reason.

    The adventurers felt like contributing to the war, after completing the mission with the young soldiers, they felt a sense of brotherhood. Guild Master Alfrederic certainly did not immediately agree to the wishes of the adventurers, before he had the approval of related parties such as the Sorrows of Tungsten, the Sylvani Kingdom Guild Center, and of course the King of Danmark himself. However, due to the unsupportive time, he only hoped to get that approval.

    Today was the day of departure, a large army of about 2500 old and young soldiers mixed with adventurers totaling 1200 people simply filled the streets in the forest. The road that follows the path that is usually passed by – people, unlike when Veroa who take shortcuts. The trip also takes about three weeks with a little rest and fighting spirit that does not fade.

    The predetermined time was a week after the two sides arrived at the predetermined battlefield. To be sure, Veroa gave a month to prepare for the war. A week on the battlefield after they arrived, that time was used as a time of stamina and mental recovery before the start of the war.

    No one had the guts big enough to disturb such a large army, neither the bandits who usually blocked the road, nor the beasts. The journey smoothly without any obstacles and finally they arrived.

    No one thought that the opposing party, the Kingdom of Rome did not take the letter that Veroa sent seriously. A week more waiting, no sign – sign of the enemy coming. As for Veroa, having known it while everyone was resting, he used that time to go to the place of the other party. He was not angry to get this humiliation, he instead smiled because he could earth the Kingdom of Rome while they were off guard. With this, neither side will have the legal power to dispute his actions, for indeed he has declared war on the part of the individual officially.

    “Are you ready to destroy the Kingdom of Rome, Alfred?” Veroa asked the Guild Master Alfrederic whom he had summoned after he returned to his camp.

    “Not that, we just seized power and made the other side acknowledge the power of Tungsten City, Sir? Moreover, I still have not caught the intent of ‘destroying’ here” Guild Master Alfrederic just made sure that his guess was correct that Veroa was about to destroy the Kingdom of Rome not just to arrive at the battlefield, but to make sure that the guess was correct that Veroa was about to destroy the Kingdom of Rome, but also to the kingdom that was meant.

    Veroa smiled in question like that, then he replied “We will destroy the power of King Arthur damn, so that his frog brain can come out of the deep well. Moreover, I have affairs that are the cause of this war there”

    Still feeling doubtful, even though his heart had been beating faster after hearing it, Guild Master Alfrederic again said “Hopefully, – innocent people do not fall victim to him”

    Guild Master Alfrederic also immediately went to tell the adventurers who participated in the attack mechanism later that the war did not end on the designated battlefield, instead it attacked directly to the Royal Capital of Rome, the City of Barrium. In addition, he also forbade adventurers to injure civilians or people who do not take up arms to fight.

    “The purpose of this war is to give a valuable lesson to King Arthur who is very arrogant. However, we know that he was recently sworn in as heir to the throne. The road is still long, so we do not really burn down the kingdom.” explained Guild Master Alfrederic in front of – people, no matter if he was a soldier or adventurer. He explained all this on Veroa's orders, so that – people noticed and listened to his explanation.

    No one disputes, they themselves are not bloodthirsty people. They were excited and no one was afraid of death, although there were some who hid their fears and thought of family and weighed the strength of the enemy. Whatever the purpose, they don't care. Most importantly, everyone will be rewarded. It's just that no one knows that Veroa won't involve them any further. In some circumstances, if the troops of Barrium City were difficult to penetrate by the soldiers of Tungsten City or the adventurers, then he would act alone.

    Veroa realized that, so after Guild Master Alfrederic finished explaining the mechanism of the war that had changed a lot, he intervened. “You need not worry, I will not make this war a blood-drenched war. Besides, I assure you in the name of my honor that none of you will lose your life.”.

    A person from the young soldier raised his hand, his face look excited. Then, he said “Please speak permission Tuanku.

    As everyone watched her, some people recognized her with most people not, only recognizing her face. However, unlike most formalities, no one reprimands it or anything like that, because Veroa forbids anyone to reprimand someone without knowing the details of the problem.

    “Yes, you, young soldier. Introduce yourself, then speak” Veroa smiled, quite satisfied with public interactions like this that are not monotonous.

    “Good Master. Introduce, my name is Adillez from squad 17 to convey a little mistake related to the guarantee that you convey earlier..” from what he said, he is not afraid of death, he is not afraid of death, as long as he dies in an honorable manner, it is like a war that he will face in a moment. He also conveyed honorable things and other chivalry that was quite impressive for his young age, although Veroa himself was still younger not too far from him.

    “You're mistaken, my soldier..”.
