The After World Breaker

Chapter 9: The great war to come

Two months had passed, Allenz who was cleaning his short sword, with the blade on the sword was thin and light, but enough to slash his enemy.

Suddenly Sean came to him. "Yo, how was last night? Enjoyed it?"

Last night the soldiers held a little event, with abundant eating and drinking.

"Well, you'll see for yourself." Allenz.

Sean also looked around them, many soldiers were scattered everywhere, because of heavy drunkenness due to drinking too much.

Before long, Willle appeared, Sean and Allenz immediately stood up and saluted. Wouldle then looked around, bad enough to call this place a military barracks.

"Sean Gale Raatz!!" Said Woulle loudly.

"Yes!!" Sean's Law.

"You're about to graduate from the military, and you're going to go to the academy. For that, tomorrow you and the people who are training in the military will have the final test. Then Allenz, you're gonna be one of the mentors of this group." Wouldle Speak .

Allenz was quite surprised by Willle's "Huh?! Me?!"

"Yes, who else? I think you can guide them. So please cooperate with both of you."

"All right!!" Sean and Allenz said.

After that Willle left, leaving them, the two then parted ways to prepare themselves for tomorrow.

In the command tent, Willle returned, he saw Finn relaxing with a cigarette, and he approached Finn and said. "When are you going to quit smoking?"

Finn noticed Willle's presence, then replied. "Come on, while this can calm me down."

"At the very least, you have to reduce the amount of your cigarette use, you almost always smoke."

"Is this bothering you?"

"No, forget it."

After that, the two relax.

On the other hand, in the palace. The king asked a messenger to deliver a letter to the kingdom of Spadeforia. The king wanted to make an alliance with Spadeforia in order to increase military power. So he sent someone there.

The next day, Allenz and Sean, along with a few others, held a final training for those who took part in military training. Now they will face some bandits and monsters that sometimes unsettle the paths of the wanderers and merchants.

Of course they use strategy, with silence, then lurk to pay attention to the movements of the bandits who are camping. From the reports obtained, sometimes they camouflaged as nomads so that the merchants who carried the fooled wagon and transported the disguised bandits with them. They will be framed and killed afterwards.

"Everything's quiet..." Said a group leader. "Allenz."

Allenz nodded in understanding, he then whistled small, before long two bandits fell down with their heads detached from his body.

"Groan!!" Excited the previous supervisor.

The archers and magic shooters instantly attacked first, some hitting the tents and people there.

Due to the surprise attack, leaving the bandits unprepared, their numbers quickly dwindled drastically as many died.

Allenz and Sean turn their backs on each other, they cover up their shortcomings by working together. With that strategy, they quickly won.

Many items were confiscated from the place, and the bodies of the bandits were burned because to them, such vile bandits were not worth burying.

After all was done, the men brought the results back to the barracks, and with this the military trainers considered graduating, even they did not expect it to be easy, he said, there were not even any casualties even though there were injured, with this they returned to the city, however.

"???"

"Why?" Ask Sean.

"I feel like someone's watching us." Allenz.

Sean's face became serious, he immediately looked around them, he seemed to feel the same way. Before long their guide also gave a hand signal to be silent, it seemed like he also felt the same way, the future soldiers of Hearterra should not be underestimated here, as it concerns the pride of the knights of Hearterra.

"High!!" Before long a rain of arrows appeared from above the trees, and attacked them.

"Gee!!"

"Akh!"

"Damn it!?"

"Medical!!"

Everyone panicked and tried to protect themselves. Many were hit by the shot, but quickly some people instantly made magic protectors to guard them from the arrow shot.

This impromptu attack left the people there shocked, this was the attack of another bandit group.

Allenz quickly cast a wind spell and got their area buffeted by strong winds, exposing some enemy hideouts. Some even fell from the trees.

"Groan!!" Said Sean loudly.

The ones who could still fight were directly attacking the enemies that had appeared. As much as possible some of the mentors tried to protect the people there especially the wounded, plus those who were young to continue their lives, the guides did not want them to die in a place like this.

Allenz also did not lose the attack, he quickly attacked the enemy while riding his board. Sometimes he also looked from above to find out the position of the enemy and would attack them from behind or also use Whistling Spell.

It did not feel like for three hours that they had survived the attacks of the bandits, and produced a perfect result, there were no casualties on their side - an absolute victory - even though the wounded were increasing, he said, because it was night, they did camp. With this the young men would get a brooch of appreciation in military training from the commander or king directly later after their return.

At that instant was celebrating, by eating meat and cola. Allenz decided to go alone, he wanted to find a place for himself.

Before long, he found a suitable place for himself. There are only grasses and some flowers that are illuminated by the moon. No noise, just calm.

Allenz took something from his waist bag, he took out a pan flute, a musical instrument of bamboo that had many different lengths. Sometimes he played this pan flute at night or alone, or used a regular bamboo flute.

The song he played was Der einsame Hirte, a song he thought was perfect for now, let alone with the calmness of the night.

(You can find Der einsame Hirte on YouTube.)

Calmly, Allenz played the pan flute, with a fairly slow tone, the night is now heard pan flute played by Allenz. The moon and stars are silent witnesses to what Allenz is playing.

Before long the song was over, Allenz stared for a moment at the night sky, with the moonlight and the accompanying stars in the sky.

"You're great at playing that thing, too." Said Sean.

Allenz looked directly at Sean behind him, not expecting Sean to be there.

"You hear everything?!"

"Not really, just partly. But, you're great at playing music too."

"A-ah, thank you."

Sean then approached Allenz, and asked. "By the way, how do I play that thing?"

"Like blowing a regular flute, it's just that sometimes it blows on the pipe." Allenz. "Wanna try it?"

"Sure!" Sean said with passion.

"However, we need to find bamboo or wood." Allenz.

Where wood is cut with different sizes, from a rather long to short, about 15-7cm. The wood is then hollowed out in the middle, to produce sound, and put some kind of pliable skin in it to add a melodious sound, here Allenz does not use cork, there is no cork here, there is no cork here, even the material Allenz does not know, therefore, he uses a skin that is somewhat hardened, although solid but rather pliable like a cork.

After he finished making it, Allenz tried his voice first, and not bad, although his voice was somewhat different from his bamboo pan flute, but this wood is no less good at the sound produced.

Then Allenz taught Sean to play pan flute, he also explained slowly but in detail. Sean also easily understood, although sometimes the blow is sometimes wrong.

An hour more was not felt. Sean was great enough to play that instrument, even though he had to practice more.

The clock seemed to be almost midnight, Allenz and Sean decided to return to their camp.

Not far from there, Allenz and Sean saw like a light moving through the woods.

"What's that?"

"Drill? The guy with the torch?" Guess them.

"That's a person!! She's like running away from something?!" Said Allenz who realized that. Both of them ran towards the man.

Until they can't catch up with the guy, he's too fast for them, if Allenz had brought his board he might have been able to catch up with the guy.

Before long the people who were chasing it met them, the people who were chasing also used horses in order to be faster until they met.

"Commander Finn?!"

"You guys?! How are you guys here?!" Finn asked them while stopping his horse.

"We're taking the last test of military training." Answer Sean.

Finn finally understood, he also just remembered that they were doing the last test in military training. The rest of Finn's entourage is chasing him before, leaving Finn with Allenz and Sean.

Allenz then asks what happened, even until Finn chases someone in the middle of the night. "What's going on?!"

"Ah, we suspect that person is a murderer from Spadeforia, it is also visible from the robe he was wearing." Obviously Finn.

"Why is Spadeforia's hit man here?!" Sean said he couldn't believe it.

"Last afternoon we met the body of the man who was supposed to deliver the king's message to the kingdom of Spadeforia. And it seems that Spadeforia is trying to frame us, so we're going to arrest her for information."

Allenz and Sean are surprised by this, and if this happens, the four kingdoms will experience serious tension. The result of all this is war.

War would break out again, and not only that, it could be a war directly deployed by the four kingdoms at once, with no alliance at all.

Neither side cooperated, no additional supplies, no military force increased, plus two months ago Hearterra and Diamondnia had just been at war, this is a detriment to their kingdom which is still in recovery.

Before long someone approached them with his horse, then stopped and saluted Finn. "Commander!! Forgive us, it seems that the man managed to escape."

Finn's face became runnyam, he became restless with the impending impact, sooner or later a war would take place. The king may declare war on Spadeforia.

He ordered the man to send the others back. "In that case, order the others to return, I will face the king tonight." Finn Said.

"All right!!" The person immediately rode quickly to order the others to return.

"And you better go back to your camp." Finn Said.

"We understand." Allenz and Sean went straight back to their camp. In Allenz's heart, it seems that this is going to be a serious problem.

The next day Sean and several other children were declared to have graduated in military training, they were even given praise from the king himself, many of whom came there. Even the Allenz family and the Bartfold family came. Arthur also reported that there was no disruption this time, the status of the Borath family has been revoked, now they are not any obstacles with the engagement of Allenz and Teresa, even if to cancel it is also not a problem.

"So you can calm down, no one's bothering us, and sorry for dragging you into our family troubles." Ford told Allenz.

"No problem, and also about it– engagement"

Not finished talking, Teresa spoke immediately which made Allenz surprised. "As for the engagement, I strongly agree, father, and Allenz have already personally sent me a letter to continue." Teresa's speech made the Allenz family and the Bartfold family surprised as well, while Nayaka also seemed to smile happily at it.

"T-tu-wait a minute, since kapa–"

"Is that really Allenz?! You're actually proposing to tasa secretly apparently." Anya.

"Wait for mom, I didn't say that?!" Deny Allenz.

In addition, Tiara, Teresa's mother, seemed no less surprised. "Well..youth romance, how wonderful~"

"Wait, I'm not done talking?!"

While Arthur can only cry because he thinks Allenz has done a man's act.

"Dad, you're overreacting..." Allenz. "And..." Allenz's words came to a halt when he saw Nia staring intently at him, which horrified Allenz.

'It seems he's jealous' Alans said.

"You said that?!" Said Allenz in disbelief.

Sean and his family come to Allenz who is talking to his family.

"I'm sorry, my name is Sean Gall Horner, it's nice to meet you guys, it's my family." Sean told the Allenz family.

"Good, hello." Arthur and Ford welcomed the family. After that they talked.

And also Sean did not think that Allenz was engaged. Although Allenz himself explained that it was actually just his family's plan of deceit with the Bartfold family.

Until after the ceremony of flattery for the people who participated in military training, the king then entered a greeting for the guests.

The king, Ronald Seinn Hearterra, was immediately given a standing ovation from the guests. Then after standing on the podium, he then spoke. "Guests, men, women and children. Thank you for coming, here you have seen some people who have completed military training. On the basis of being a knight of the kingdom..."

Allenz was also surprised by the presence of several women as well. "Hmm? There's a female knight too?"

Sean who heard that immediately explained, that there was also female-only military training, they were almost the same as them, even having his own barracks, although a bit far from the palace, unlike their barracks that were close to the palace, it was just that their training was not as heavy as men. Although actually this military training is not mandatory, but for those who follow to the end and re-enter the military will be given a direct promotion.

On the sidelines of the king's speech, Allenz realized that the king did not speak about information about the future conflicts of Spadeforia and Hearterra.

"Hmmm... Strange, why did the king not talk about the kingdom of Hearterra who will–" Not yet finished, Allenz's arm was immediately grasped firmly by Sean, which made Allenz immediately look at Sean, with a little shake, a little, signify don't talk about it.

Allenz immediately understood the meaning, it seems that the king hid this from the public so as not to panic. Let alone Hearterra's current condition, Sean then let go of Allenz's hand, then left just like that.

In this way, Hearterra's conflict with Spadeforia was known only to the military without being spread widely.

Two hours after the show was over, everyone was back, Sean was going to the academy, the Allenz family and Bartfold were going back to Nevelheim. While Allenz was going back to the barracks, he was already a royal knight, it was appropriate that he should return to work, even at the age of just 13.

However, before that he wanted to talk to his family and the Bartfold family, where they had rented in the capital. There Allenz actually proposed to Teresa, with Nayaka.

Happiness was immediately felt for them, did not expect Allenz would propose to Teresa even Nayaka.

"Nia, please take care of them and my mother."

"Sure, young master."

After all, Allenz parted ways with his family, even before separating he got a kiss from Teresa.

After they board the airship, and leave, Willle and Finn approach Allenz who is still silent in the hangar of the capital, they know that this is done by Allenz not to be a regret for him. That way, without the Allenz family knowing, this might be a farewell to those who are real. That soon a great war that would become the terrible history of the four kingdoms would occur.

"Allenz, it's time we get ready." Wouldle.

Allenz turned his head, with tears on both of his cheeks. "Yes." Yeah." In this way, their percentage of deaths was much greater.
