The Great War of Rhodesia

Epilogue Second Arc Part 2

Night in the woods on the outskirts of Zerasa City in the north, Yvvone's entourage was chatting in their camp. Three Half-finished Tents that were practically made by Rhapsodia, seemed to be standing around a campfire.

Rafa had prepared the tent to be brought before they left the Central Region of Rhodesodia. Besides that, they also brought some other equipment and instant food.

"We've been here two weeks. But we didn't find those people" said Ymone, who was seen sitting comfortably next to Ares in front of the campfire. Seemed to be burning the antelope meat of the Azorgians.

Surrounding the campfire was currently only seen four Azorgia Getzja and the elves alone. Yvvone, Ymone, Ares, Solas, Talos, and a black-haired, silver-eyed elf woman, named Kanna. Murrel and Morgana are in charge of searching for information in other cities around the region.

"Is it possible that they rotate through Cilum?" Yvvone.

"It is most likely that it is, indeed" Solas replied from across Yvvone. It appears that the Rhafie clan elf was reading a book loaned by Rafa, with the help of lighting devices made by the craftsman Rhapsodia, called Flashlight.

"Then what should we do now?" The elf woman named Kanna asked. "Do we need to find them in Cilum?"

"Home alone if their intentions are deliberately hidden from us," replied Ymone later.

But just as Yvvone was about to make his point, suddenly descended from the night sky, the figure of Murrel with Morgana.

"Hey, you surprised me" said Yvvone, looking unaccepted to be surprised.

"Slowly." Instead of responding to Yvvone's remarks, Murrel instead said things that were not understood by others.

"What's wrong? What's late?" tanya Ymone looked curious.

"The men are now in Kotaraja Elbrasta" Morgana explained.

"They're in Elbrasta? Are you sure?" Yvvone asked convincingly.

"Yes, this afternoon I got information from some members of the Fighter Guild in Metana City" Morgana replied. "A few days ago, they were seen in a battle against the forces of the nobles outside Kotaraja" he explained.

"Are you sure it's the people we're looking for?" Yvvone seemed to be unable to believe it.

"Yes, their traits are like the ones we're after. And at least six were seen in the war." This time Murrel added.

"That means we have to go there to make sure" Yvvone said, rising to his feet.

"really. We leave right now, before they go back into hiding," Ymone replied as agreed by the others.

But just as they were about to prepare to clear their camp, suddenly the elves felt something.

"This Soul's Flow..." Unfinished Yvvone spoke, suddenly emerging from nothing, a skull-masked figure thrust his sword towards the young Aeron.

But deftly Yvvone immediately cast his magic to withstand the sudden attack of the mysterious figure.

The invisible wind vault surrounding Yvvone's body managed to stop the opponent's sword being blown right towards his heart.

Having his attack failed, the skull-masked figure leapt backwards. His black robe looks bright.

The others immediately put up their fighting horses, after realizing the existence of the mysterious assailant. Either the elves, the Yllgarians, or the Azorgians.

"You were as capable as five years ago, young Aeron." The voice coming out of the masked assailant sounded like a voice as women and men spoke simultaneously.

Yvvone immediately added to his vigilance after recognizing the masked figure. They faced off briefly when the Muggers attacked the Central Region of Rhodesia five years ago.

"Dark Blade?!" said Ares who sounded a little incredulous when he saw a skull masked figure in front of him.

"You mean, Glaive?!" This time it was Murrel who sounded in disbelief.

"Oh, we haven't heard those words in a long time" said the masked man known as the Glaive.

"Be careful. Every single one of them is a good fighter. And they always fight in groups" said Ares again gave a warning.

"It's not wrong" said the masked figure, when then several other figures similar to him, just appeared from nothing around him.

"Who sent you?!" ask Yvvone then.

"The wrong question" the masked figure replied before then darting forward with dozens of other masked figures attacking Yvvone's entourage.

A week earlier, at Sefier's residence in the woods in the Novus suburb, southwest of Kotaraja Elbrasta.

"It's time we move." Sefier stared at a metal-framed wooden crate that seized half the width of his desk with satisfaction. Seen from the faint smile on his face.

"But, what about Grevier, sir?" Edea asked from beside Sefier.

"No need to worry. I already have a plan for it" Sefier replied as he placed his weight on the back of the chair comfortably.

"Do you intend to get rid of it this time?" The Getzja girl asked again.

"Yes, right. Just like his father, now he's no longer useful to us."

"Do we need to kill him in battle like we did his father?" Edea asked to make sure.

"No. I have other plans" replied Sefier, who was seen tapping his finger against the armrest.

"What's the plan to scapegoat Cilum and Estrinx, as you've explained before?"

"True," replied Sefier who now began to establish his sitting position. "We're gonna send a killer to his residence. And make it look like it's an act from another kingdom" he explained. "We can accuse Cilum and Estrinx of Grevier's death. And give us a reason to carry out an attack on their territory."

Edea was smiling at the plan from her master. "Then what about the nobles?"

"Yes, we will also wipe out the insects. A week from now, starting from Dreanor, then Strene," replied the long-haired Seithr man later.

"If Elbrasta's daughter, sir?" Edea asked again because of the memory of Lucia's existence and her relationship with the kingdoms of Elbrasta and Grevier. "From the news I have, the kingdom in the Dead Land has now succeeded in taking over half the territory of the former Kingdom of Urbar," he continued.

"Yes, Tyrion is useless. If only we didn't need him to distract me, I wouldn't be willing to help him" Sefier replied later. "But inevitably we will also face the direct descendants of Elbrasta."

"What if they attack when we're not ready?"

"No need to worry, Edea. Maybe until the next few months they will still be preoccupied by problems in the south. Although Tyrion failed to defend his territory, Joren and Augra would still keep him busy." Sefier answered with confidence.

"At the same time we already have this," continued Sefier, pointing to the wooden city before him. "Although we still have to wait some more time to be able to use it in full, but this weapon is a weapon that will change the era."

Edea was only seen nodding at his master's remark, with a smile full of satisfaction.

"So, we no longer need to hide and wait. Our justice will be here soon. And the kingdom of Bruixeria will stand again" Sefier said again in a tone full of pride. "Now go, Edea. Tell this to others. We will start our holy war" he continued later with orders.

"Good, master!" edea answered quickly and firmly, and then left the room.

"Now it's just to find a way to deal with those meddling Elves" Sefier told himself. "Liz, are you there?" Call him later, which he addresses to someone behind the door outside his study.

"My lord." The woman's voice answered.

"It looks like we need Glaves' help once again" Sefier said later.

"I understand, sir," replied the woman called Liz without asking for more detail.

"Bring and Noel with you. It'll make it easier for you to negotiate with them."

"Well, sir," Liz replied once more before then leaving her position.

After that Sefier began to open a wooden box on his desk. It then shows four bracelets and a tiara on a shiny red silk cloth, complete with a jewel encrusted in each bracelet and in the middle of the tiara.

"Now, Bruixeria will rise again to unite this chaotic world" Sefier said with a smile.
