Early Bride [TAMAT]

#19 Common People Strategy

" Arthur.."

" mmm.. Wh why?? Do you want anything??"

" no.. Are you tired?? Can I get you something?"

" no need, Naya. There are many servants here. If I want anything, I don't have to tell you. You're pregnant, you have to take extra care of yourself."

" mmm.. Alright." 😞

" what are you doing?? Usually pregnant women in general always ask for this and that. What does the term, 🤔 Ngidam?? Yes, it is Ngidam. Aren't you cravings??"

" what the fuck are you..😑 I'm the type of person who if I want something, I'll take it myself. Why bother others??"

" at least it's fun for husbands. When his wife said, 'my husband, I want this and that.' and blah blah blah.. From some witnesses, the desire of pregnant women is always strange. But I never get a request like that from you."

" then you want me to say that??" 😒

" husband.. I want this and that.." 😚

" hehh!! It's laughable!!" 😵 continued with the tone in more2 right.

" yes too, anyway. So it's different if you say it." 😆

" but it feels like my baby wants something from his father." 🙁

" what?? Say it!!" 😃

" he wanted to ask why his father lied that there would be a war some time away." 😞

" Naya, I.." 😨

" why are you lying to me?? Do you know what I've been worried about the most since I married you?? And now I can't even help anything!!" 😫

" i don't want to make you feel burdened, Naya. I raised my sword and challenged the king of Hogwarts in a state of fury."

" what was it when I kidnapped Silvanna?? Why are you so reckless to challenge them??"

" yes.. Which husband can stand if his wife is kidnapped and wants to rape another man?? I was very angry at the time, no matter what. Either now or later, the war will still happen"

" i'm worried about you!!" 😫

Unconsciously my tears were flowing so hard that it was hard to speak, Arthur hugged me to make me calmer. But my crying is becoming more and more.

" when??" 😢

" what when?"

" the war.."

" if I wanted to, the war could happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. But I said, a war with emotions will not pay off. We need a strategy, not to mention that Uncle Khufra is a pretty tough opponent. He had more soldiers, and was always changing strategy in quick time. So that war was set to happen later this year."

" hmm.." 😞

" wait, are you thinking?? Is my wife now interested in war??" 😄 said Arthur trying to cheer me up.

" this is you!!" 😩 I smacked his little chest and wiped my remaining tears.

It struck me when I heard that Arthur's army was outnumbered at this time by Khufra's uncle's forces, and the strategy of war could not be determined because Khufra's uncle had always changed the strategy of war abruptly. I don't know what I'm thinking, I think.. I have to get down in this.

" Arthur.."

" hmm, huh??"

" i want you to round up everyone who's been instrumental in the war, tomorrow morning at 9. Including the king's majesty, queen mother, father and mother."

" what's the matter??" 😳

" come on, let's just say I'm cravings."

" but why should there be a father and mother??"

" that's all I'm asking, and you're still making things difficult?? You want your baby to be sad because his wishes are not obeyed??" 😟

" yes, yes.. I'll do it. 😑 Pregnant woman is weird demand."

Tomorrow morning arrived, at my request all the people who played an important role were there. Even they were confused why Arthur asked them to gather in a room where there would only be a meeting about the strategy of war there. Arthur just resigned to my strange requests. Sorry, my wife, baby. 😁

" all right, everybody's gathered here. Sorry if I got you all distracted. Actually, I'm here to advise you on a war strategy that will occur later this year."

Hearing my words, some people started to disbelieve and talk to each other. Yes.. Besides I was a woman who never jumped directly into the war zone, I was also a child of the common people. Everyone is mocking me right now.

" woman, maybe you're cravings right now. Please consider, this war strategy should not be decided by just anyone." said a warlord there..

" son, don't listen to what your father said back then. There will be no war, no. Let's just go with mom to the room, we rest." 😰 said the mother who was still panicking with my behavior.

" mom, don't lie to me again. I already know everything. This war happened because of me. And I have to help too."

" didn't you trust me, Arthur??" 😞

" that's not it, Naya. But this.." 😟

" everyone, please listen to me for a moment. If my advice is helpful, you can use it as a strategy. But if not, then just think of it as my nonsense." I said.

Then everyone started to shut up. I take that as an agreement.

" well, I'll start." I said by taking a stick with my small hand to point at some parts of the map on the table.

When everyone started to notice me, I just spoke.

" isn't the war going to happen here?? For those who don't know this is my hometown, right, dad??" I looked at my father.

" i.. Yes, son." replied father trembling slightly.

" well, if the war happens here it will be very easy for us to set the strategy. Wh why? Because this is our place, my place. I know exactly what's going on here, including the rest of our people. There are many places there that can be used as hiding places, which can not even be realized by anyone."

" but miss.. If the troops hide there partially, then our numbers will decrease even more. Wouldn't that be a waste??" ask the warlord.

" did I tell you you're the troops who'll be hiding out there??"

" then, who do you mean??"

" i need some of you to teach the common people. How to attack with spears, arrows, bamboo, machetes, and machetes. Ohh, yeah don't forget the kitchen knife. I have plenty of stock in my house." 😄

" k's.. You're.. Want to ask ordinary people to go to war, son? We can't do anything. All we know is hunting and farming." Dad panicked.

" dad, let's just say you're hunting this time too. Hunting those who want to take our country. Do you want to be kicked out of your own country??"

My father just fell silent. Same with the commanders. Maybe they are thinking but still a little doubt about my words.

" this is clear.. I already knew that our opponent was quite difficult. They always change their strategy quickly. That's why I chose the strategy of the shadow headquarters, which is a secret hideout. There the people will hide without wearing the clothes of troops like you, it will make the opposing forces only know we have a little army. Then let the people

Attacked in the last 2 seconds. Because it will certainly surprise the opponent, make them cornered to be unable to change the strategy. Especially Khufra's uncle, Arthur??" my call to him made him so shocked.

" ahh, huh??"

" you took your uncle some distance from his army. So that he can't change his initial strategy. Then after that you just order the other people to attack. That way the people need not be afraid to feel sacrificed, because they only need to fight the remaining forces from the opponent."

" well." replied Arthur briefly.

Hearing their leader say so, everyone agreed with my suggestion.

" now the main problem is the lack of troops. For that I need my father. Dad??" 😁

" ahh, yes son." 😰 said my father trembled at the sight of the warlords.

" i know the father of the bravest man in the world, I am so brave today thanks to his upbringing. Will you help me now?" memelas.

" of course.. If my son can be this brave, why should I be afraid?" 😊

" well, my father will help you to get the people who will become additional troops. Next, you better understand what to do. I'm just a little girl from the village. I told you, if my advice is useful you can wear it or take it as nonsense. I don't mind."

" Naya, you have talent in organizing war strategy" said the elder who had been silent since.

" no, sire. I just want to help Arthur. He has helped me a lot." 😄

" no, kid. Looking at you, I thought of the queen mother. In the past, she was just like you are now. Stand firm and set the war strategy of the previous king."

" really?? 😅 I was inspired by him." I said.

I can't believe my words made the look on your face become more grim. I don't know what happened, the queen mother rubbed her shoulders to strengthen her. I try to get back to melting the atmosphere.

" all right, then. You guys who are here can return to their respective duties." I said.

Then they all came out, leaving me and Arthur in the room.

" are you sure this strategy will work?" ask Arthur.

" you believe me or you don't."

" i certainly believe in the strategy of the common people, who managed to become Royal Emperor students with perfect test scores."

" you're better than me." 😆

" honestly, I didn't even think of such a strategy."

" try to be a commoner, maybe you'll be a genius like me." 😎

" yes.. Yes.. My wife's a genius."

" aha.." 😄
