With the tournament busy in the capital, the defense hall began to make major moves to reclaim the territory that should have belonged to the Meeden kingdom. With Kouta as the supreme commander of the army, they sent tens of thousands of elite troops to take part in this mission.
Although this movement is actually a form of testing for Kouta, but retaking these areas sooner or later will be done by them.
Within a year and a half...Although it will be difficult, in order to gain greater strength, I will finish it. But even so, what with just tens of thousands of troops would be very difficult to seize entirely.
“Mr Kouta, the whole unit is ready. We are ready to leave anytime.” One of the army commanders reported to Kouta. “We'll be leaving soon.” The commander saluted and left Kouta alone.
The sound of footsteps was approaching, it was the elders of the defense hall who were approaching Kouta. “We will release your departure!” Said one of the elders.
The entire army was ready for his current position.
The supreme elder of the defense hall rose to the pulpit followed by the other elders, he began to give the message to the troops. “Defense Hall is the largest and strongest military in the kingdom of Meeden.
Even so, at that time we also failed to defend the eastern regions.
Therefore, in order to make up for the failure of that time, this time you military forces of the defense hall will be sent there to retake the territory. The number of 80,000 troops will be ready to depart this time, no failure can be forgiven. That's why you guys.. win!”.
THE DEFENSE HALL WILL WIN!!!
The troops scattered in unison. His voice echoed in the air, their spirit would lead them to a great victory this time, and an incredible power would be born between them.
With the end of the mandate from the elders, 80,000 troops began to be dispatched.
The goal was to reclaim the territory captured by the eastern empire. The territory includes 3 city fortresses, namely, Senta, Jong, and Udo. All three were large cities built specifically to be a defensive fortress in the eastern part of the kingdom of Meeden.
It is equipped with so many traps and powerful weaponry. And not only that, the soldiers there were trained so hard that it made them look so terrible. Yet even though they were extremely strong in terms of strength, it was still easily defeated by the eastern empire.
Just because seeing that Meeden had great potential, they were very brave to challenge us blatantly. Hopefully you won't let me down, Eastern Empire.

Ten days had passed since the departure of the defense hall troops. But the city has yet to show any signs of being attacked. It was the city of Senta, one of the three cities the eastern empire had captured.
The damage was so great at the time of the conquest, but the survivors were forcibly employed to build the city into what it was.
Not only that, the residents who have the potential are also recruited to become military there. But it doesn't look so bad for their lives. All they needed since that defeat was peace, before if they did not oppose an imperial bid then they would not have to suffer.
But not everything is true, their lives are not bad. Yet they remain haunted by the fury of the eastern empire. As before, the war there began only because the Meeden kingdom refused to be an ally. As a result, three eastern city forts were affected.
But do you know what the government did at that time? The answer is that there is no. They had received all the reports, but never sent any help to them. Eventually, they surrendered to the Eastern Empire.
At first they were indeed horribly enslaved, but thanks to that too their city recovered quickly and their enslavement was stopped. What the real motives of the eastern empire were no one could understand, yet they felt their present life was not bad.
Even so there was still one thing that they would never forget, namely the fact that the Meeden kingdom left them while they were in a deep slump. Therefore they always look forward to an opportunity to avenge it despite having to cooperate with the eastern empire.
This was done without their knowledge. The special forces are quite large, there are 13,000 people led directly by the daughter of the former mayor of Senta. Their goal formed there was only one, destroying Meeden to avenge their brother.

The army of the defense hall had arrived on a hill west of Udo, and set up camp there. While observing the city from a distance, they began to devise a plan for the assault.
It seems that the guard on the city fortress is not so tight. I don't think it will be too difficult to conquer Udo.
Kouta has had an overview of the outside conditions of the city of Udo. He told the strategist to start devising the best plan to conquer it.
“As long as you guys make plans, I'll go inside to see the conditions in Udo city. Some tamers, please come with me and prepare your animals to communicate.” It was a fortress city, although the guard looked weak but there would be a barrier to detect suspicious things.
That makes telepathy will not be used, because it is in this mission tamer will play an important role in the attack. The tamers needed had gathered, and Kouta led them to infiltrate the city of Udo.
Amidst the silence of the night, running like shadows through the darkness, Kouta and his followers managed to enter the city with great ease. Of course it was common for the defense hall's special forces. From there the tamers began to spread the animals to find information about the surrounding.
“We will split up, see the conditions in every corner of the city west, and report to the staff. We'll take it back overnight!” they answered and started moving.

In the middle of a quiet night, the guards did their usual job. Just keep watch at a gate, without ever seeing anyone come in or out every day.
“Ah, bosen very yes?” I complained about one of the guards. “Surely. Had the kingdom never done anything stupid maybe this city would not have died like this right?”
“Of course, this city used to be very crowded. But now— the guard sighed him —even I can no longer imagine the atmosphere of that time.” It looked like a completely different city, it was natural to always speak in memory of him.
“Hey, how about we play cards? To eliminate boredom. Nobody's watching us anyway, right?” the guard took his friend.
“Huh, you are yes... without miras how will I be able to—a flash of light sprung up in the middle of the city of L—eh, fireworks? Not that a beacon, but for what?” The two guards were confused as to why a flare was being issued in the middle of the city.
“Again..eh, that logo..the royal beacon emblem of Meeden. Don't-don't!” they finally realized it, it was a signal of attack. “Wire, sound the alarmn—! Arrgghh.” However it was too late, the 80,000 troops had started their assault.
Thousands of arrows were released, claiming the lives of so many people both soldiers and civilians of the city of Udo. But they would never think about it one bit. Their mission was to reclaim all three territories within a year and a half, but there were no criteria for doing so.
With their deviant ideologies, the defense hall will do anything to achieve their goals. Therefore, they will finish everything in the city and rebuild it starting from scratch.
Although it was too late for all the townspeople, but they did not want to die just like that. What this defense hall did was truly far more ruthless than what the eastern empire did. That's why they keep fighting.
As a result, no one survived the attack. They managed to retake it overnight, just like what Kouta had planned. The damage to the territory was quite large, but it could be overcome as time went on. In the meantime they will settle down to prepare for the next assault.
Surely it won't be as easy this time. Because this rumor will quickly reach the other two cities. So they have to start planning for the long term.
In one strike we will surely win. But it will sacrifice a lot of things, then it will be difficult to hold back the empire if we rush. Then I'll do that. While looking at the direction of the two cities, Kouta had prepared himself in victory for this time
