Two years later the drought showed signs of ending with marked temperatures began to feel colder. Occasionally drizzle down. But the real disaster has only just begun.
Due to the long drought, nearly half of the central continent's population went to another continent. Especially small and medium kingdom, only large kingdom kingdom whose population still survive above eighty percent.
The emptiness of this kingdom, gave rise to the greed of many kingdoms. The struggle for fertile areas and areas that have abundant natural resources occurs where.
Only a few powerful kingdoms did not get involved in the war. But clearly the guard of every territory is tightened.

In the meeting room looks serious face waiting for the arrival of Louisa and King Landen.
"His Majesty the Landen Valley King arrives..!"
"Your Highness Princess Lorine Valley arrives..!"
There was a cry of soldiers standing guard in front of the meeting room. Everyone present immediately stood up and bowed.
"Greetings to His Majesty the King of Landen Valley. Long life and glory to the kingdom of the Valley of the Wind..!" there were echoes of everyone present.
King Landen and Louisa were seated where they were available.
King Landen stood up and opened the meeting. After the opening of Marco who now serves as a general relayed his report.
"According to our eyes in the kingdom of Long Beach, there is a movement in the kingdom of Cloud Circle. A few months ago, the Hurex King had a meeting with the Tiger King of the Dark Forest Kingdom in the city of Midle Beach. Although both are aware as traders in Long Beach, but our eyes can recognize both" said Marco
"A month ago, our eyes were also informed of the large recruitment of warriors in the Cloud Circle kingdom and in the Dark Forest kingdom. Even many of the bandits from the Long Beach kingdom were accepted as mercenaries" Marco said.
"Thank you General Marco. What about General Rico's border?"
"The last three months of border warriors have captured a hundred suspected eyes from the Cloud Ring Kingdom trying to infiltrate our kingdom. So far the border guard soldiers have been trying to prevent infiltration, but it's possible that we still missed one or two unexpected people, Your Majesty "
"Thank you for the report, General Rico. Well, we've heard reports from both of our Young Generals. We have also heard of the fall of the kingdom of Gema because it was attacked by the Kingdom of Hagibis. Not to mention some other kingdoms. Now how do we respond?" ask King Landen
"Before the prince of Hurex became king, the kingdom of the Cloud Circle has been in conflict with us several times because of eye problems so we are forced to sever diplomatic relations with the kingdom of the Cloud Circle. Especially now that we do not have a relationship between the kingdoms, I am sure if it is just a matter of time before they will attack our kingdom. In the opinion of His Majesty's servant, we must prepare ourselves for war" General Arsen said
"Two generals have said to prepare soldiers for battle, what does the Great General think?"
"I agree with the opinion of the two generals. Soldiers need to be trained harder. Also division of soldiers and responsible. We have four gates into the kingdom. Each of the generals holds the responsibility of one royal gate including the border area and its surroundings. Currently, the information we get is still from the Cloud Circle Kingdom but if there is an attack on our kingdom, it does not rule out the possibility that other kingdoms will use it to attack from other gates" obviously General Lucky is in charge as the Great General of the Valley of the Wind kingdom
"I agree with the General. What do you think of the others?" ask King Lucky
"I also agree with Your Majesty" said General Marco
"I also agree Your Majesty "the other word follows
"If we've all agreed, now the distribution of placements?"
"General Arsen was in charge of the North Gate, and faced head-on with the kingdom of the Cloud Circle. General Rico was in charge of the East Gate, and in direct contact with the kingdom of Fatma, General Marco was in charge of the West Gate, and was directly opposite the sea of Hinnamor bordering the kingdom of Hongdari. And lastly General Gio was in charge of the South gate and was face to face with Gordon's kingdom. Any question?" ask Louisa.
"Sorry Princess, all this time our relationship has been very good with the kingdom of Gordon and the kingdom of Fatma. The placement of General Rico for the East gate I can still understand because what we are aware of is not the kingdom of Fatma, but the kingdom of the kingdom around the kingdom of Fatma. But my placement at the South gate, is it still necessary Mr Princess? Wouldn't it be better for me to help General Arsen guard the war-prone North Gate? Forgive me for the carelessness of Mr. Princess' servant" said General Gio
"I understand your thoughts General Gio. But as with the East Gate, what we are aware of is not Gordon's kingdom, but another kingdom that might infiltrate through Gordon's kingdom knowing our good relations, and hoping for our mediocrity. We cannot rely on Gordon's kingdom for the protection and security of our kingdom. Gordon doesn't have a border wall like ours. And that was understandable given the vastness of their territory. And in recent years rather than border walls, they've put city walls first. So the chance of infiltration from Gordon's territory is very likely" Louisa explained.
"Thank you for your explanation, Princess. I understand" said General Gio
"Now about division of the soldiers. What do you think, dad?"
"Now our kingdom has a hundred thousand soldiers. Each General commanded fifteen Captains, one hundred and fifty minor commanders, and fifteen thousand soldiers. Every general will bring his members, and the rest guard the capital. In the event of a war and the number of enemies is greater than the guard soldiers, the General can ask for help to the capital. And I will send help" General Lucky said
"General, the current state of emergency is at the North Gate. In my opinion, it's good for our North gate to send a little more soldiers than the other gate" said King Landen
"There's a point too. If so, specifically for our North gate add five thousand soldiers, becoming twenty thousand soldiers. Is that enough?"
"I think it's quite dad. What about food?" ask Louisa
"Northern border is enough for the next three months for thirty thousand people, cousins. If it turns out to be less, we can still send from here. So for the departure to the North, in terms of food there are no obstacles. And for the other gate, it's the same" said prince Lark.
"If so there are no more obstacles. When can the soldiers be dispatched?" ask King Landen.
"Soldiers cannot be sent in unison."
