The Great War of Rhodesia
02. Solidarity & Cleyra
"They were actually marching towards the Cleyra and Solidor region." Biggs was seen shaking slowly looking down from the end of the high-flying Airship deck in the border region of Solidor-Cleyra and the Kingdom of Joren.
There is also another Air Ship floating next to the Air Ship.
"Yes, it is because of the Nakie hill on the border of the Narbadia region which is quite difficult to pass by troops in large numbers. Be them marching here" replied Corvette the Yllgarian bat from next to the Biggs.
"But how's the news about our Airship not getting to their ears?" Jaguar the Yllgarian Tiger Beetle. "Wouldn't marching like this be an easy target from above?"
"I don't think they really understand the capabilities of the Airship. Or maybe they've prepared things to deal with it." Biggs answered.
"I don't really like it this way. But, come to think of it like anything, this is the way that takes the least toll on our side." Caspian replied while also observing the movement of Joren's forces below.
"Yes, this is war." Biggs.
"No. As I said before, this is not a war. It's a massacre," Caspian replied with a contradiction heard in his tone.
"Yes. But you know that too, right? What happens when we go soft on our opponents before. The people we know and care about can disappear at any time" Biggs replied later.
"Queen Daisy, Mr. Mateus, Billy, and many more. All of that happens because we are not being assertive to tell them that it is not wise to harass us" he continued.
"Yes, I know that. I-i understand. And I don't disagree in this way" Caspian replied. "But still very unfortunate. Those people must lose their lives without being able to do anything."
"I think it would be much better if they were under the power of Her Majesty the Queen" Corvette said later.
"You mean by taking over Joren as a whole?" Biggs ascertained the intent of the Corvette speech.
Which was only answered with a small nod from the female Bat.
"Yes, I think that's the ideal idea" Biggs said later. "But I think it will be very difficult and will take a lot of casualties."
"Well, no. If Mr. Aksa and Mr. Nata really want to, this southern region will be very easy for us to take over" Corvette replied in disagreement with Biggs' opinion.
"Her Majesty the Queen seems reluctant to do so." Caspian.
"Maybe Her Majesty the Queen is thinking about things beyond our thinking about taking control of this southern region" Biggs added.
"Yes, we just need to trust Her Majesty the Queen and the two young men." Caspian said as he was suddenly cut off by the screams of one of the crewmen from inside the bridge.
"Cannon Ready!"
"It seems like our time has come" replied Caspian who was like a sign to the others to immediately head to their respective positions.
Corvette nodded his head before jumping out of the ship and gliding towards the Airship hovering next door.
"Shape formation! Follow Delay!" the Corvette shouted after setting foot on the deck of the Airship as it walked into the bridge room.
And the 2 Airships that had been floating down the line were now starting to move in line. A second Airship called Eleanor, whose last name was Lucia before her surname, appears to move just behind Berunda.
Soon the magic-guided cannons began to be fired at the march of Joren soldiers.
Explosions occurred in several places at once, following several cannons fired almost simultaneously from the two Airships.
Dozens of soldiers were seen pouring into the air because of the explosion. Bouncing away broke the line.
In response, the leaders and generals of Joren's army immediately ordered to quickly set up defensive formations and retreat slowly.
Some archers and witches seemed to be trying to counterattack the 2 Airships that attacked them. But because it was too high, none of their attacks hit the target.
While Caspian just breathed a long breath seeing the glass of the situation below. "It looks like it's done," he said later.

And thus, because of the failure of the aid forces from the Joren region came, making the troops who survive in the Cleyra and Solidor regions lost their fighting spirit.
It did not take long, the two regions finally managed to be taken over entirely.
Meanwhile the Augra forces that continued to pound the territory of the former Holy Land could still be held back by Helen's forces. Although it is quite desperate, because it is only assisted by one Air Ship and several Combat Trains.
For a while almost all the main troops of Rhapsodia were deployed to take over the territory of Solidor and Cleyra, as well as installing it to guard along the border of Nabradia and Nalbina.
It was fortunate that Helen got help from Versica and her two colleagues in time. At least with the addition of the Mystical Weapon users, holding the main force of the Augra became a little lighter.

In the Meeting Room of Lucia's residence in the Central Region, a few days after Cleyra and Solidor were taken over completely. Nata, Lucia, Jean, and Vossler appear to be having a brief meeting.
"So you're planning to break through the royal palace of Augra as a warning and a threat to them?" Lucia sounded a little cry of disbelief after hearing the explanation from Nata about her plan to face the Auga Kingdom.
"What are we capable of doing?" Vossler seemed very hesitant to hear Nata's plan.
"Don't worry. Our Elite forces are capable of doing so," replied Nata lightly. "We just need to show that we can easily meet their supreme leader if we want to. That's enough. That way they will understand our true power and will rethink our offer to negotiate."
"But what if things don't go well, Mr Nata? What if the Elite Squad gets caught." Vossler still looks riled up with the plan that impressed reckless.
"We just have to prepare the Airship above their palace as a favor," Nata replied still in a light tone, as if all that was a trivial matter. "But I'm pretty sure that our Elite Army won't get caught. In fact I don't think they are a match for the soldiers and knights of that kingdom" he continued with enough confidence.
"What about the Mystical Weapon user? They could have defeated the Elite Army with the magic from those weapons." This time Jean added.
"For that, I prepared it. I'll send a Mystic Weapon to Miss Helen. Mystical Weapons are very apt to counter other Mystical Weapons."
"What is that weapon?"
"Delati belongs to Val. If it's not wrong it's Varzo..." Nata answered while looking at her remembering.
"You mean Varazonium? A blade with a purple blade that can eat the Soul Stream around it?" Jean sounded a little surprised to find Nata's answer. It doesn't change anything else.
"Yes, right. A purple knife that makes people unable to use magic," Nata replied confirming.
"Yes, I think if Miss Helen is carrying the weapon, it will be very helpful when dealing with Mystical Weapon users. Even the Witch Fighter." Vossler is seen nodding after weighing.
"If you're ready and sure enough, then I'll agree, Nat, too" Lucia replied later.
"Thank you Your Majesty," Nata replied quickly. "As for the matter of Joren's kingdom, I think I should talk to Joan first" he added.
"Yes, do what you think is necessary, Nat," Lucia replied.
-
"And it seems that soon your time and the Elite Forces to act will come soon, Miss Helen," Nata told Radio Communications in her tent to Helen in Nezarad City.
Nata had just finished lunch with Lucia, Aksa, Jean, Rafa, Luque, and Lily in his tent. It has become a habit in the past week.
"In a few days, Mr. Evora will pick you up and bring you the equipment you need, as well as the goods to be delivered to the King of the Augras" Nata added.
"I understand Mr. Nata." Helen's voice sounded firmly answered from behind the Radio loudspeaker.
"And because this task will be very dangerous, then later you and the Elite Forces are allowed to do everything that is necessary to protect themselves. Because your lives are more important" said Lucia who stood behind Nata.
"I understand Her Majesty the Queen," Helen replied still firmly and without hesitation.
"May the gods always be with you" Lucia replied before communication was cut off.
