The Great War of Rhodesia

26. The Great Bruixeria

"Why Bruixeria? Wasn't that the name of the ancient kingdom that was destroyed during the Black Flame war?" sahut Vossler during an emergency meeting attended by Lucia, Nata, and the military.

Almost all the great generals were present.

"Eitherway. Is there a connection between that Sepher and that ancient kingdom?" Evora.

"Now that doesn't matter. The problem now is that Sefier has started to move. That means it is likely that the preparation has been completed" sidelines Caspian seemed worried.

"What do you mean by the preparation of the Arcane Stone?" Vossler asked again.

"Or not the Scion bracelet he's been looking for?" sahut Helen guessed.

"It could be both." This time Nata interrupted.

"Yes, this is really worrying. We should start to be more vigilant after this. Especially the northern border." Lucia added.

"When the problem with Joren and Augra alone is still not really solved." Helen sounded a little upset.

"What else now the kingdom also has access to the Cilum region. Which means the west side is also vulnerable to attack" continued Caspian.

"really. We must indeed begin to strengthen the defenses on the northern shoreline of the western region, as well as the Northern Gate." Nata.

"And while you are talking about it, I ask for permission to contact Aksa and inform the Elves of this news. Who knows they haven't heard it yet" the young man asked for permission.

"Alright, Nat. You can go."

.

And after Nata was in his tent at the bottom of the Star Alcove with Lily, he immediately contacted Aksa.

"Is there a problem, Nat?" The first utterance heard from Nata's Magic Phone once the communication connection is connected is a question from Aksa. And not a greeting.

"Yes. Big problem." Nata answered.

"Big problem?"

And Nata started to tell me about the situation in the North.

Indeed Nata only occasionally contact Aksa. Only when he needs something or when there is a thing or problem like now.

Besides, it is also because Aksa is disturbed when Nata calls just to talk about things that are not important. Because it meant that he had to take the time he should have used to finish his work in the Azuar Forest. And he doesn't like his work on the sidelines.

"Bruixeria?" This time it sounded Luque's voice taking over.

"really. Do you know about the kingdom, Miss Luque? Or can you ask Val about this, Aks? Because Lily doesn't know much about the kingdom either." Nata.

Lily nodded next to him.

"In the meantime, I'll call Val first," Aksa replied later.

"As I recall it used to be quite large in the south. His king was Rei leBruixa. But only that far. Because at that time I had decided not to interfere in the political upheaval in the South Mainland" Luque said while Aksa was away.

"So it turns out."

"This is Val's coming." Suddenly, Aksa's voice came back.

"Val, is it possible that you know of Sefier's connection to the ancient kingdom? Why of all things he even wants to raise the kingdom back," asked Nata then without making small talk.

"Yes, there is a possibility that he is a descendant of Rei leBruixa." Val answered calmly and confidently.

"Descendants of the royal family of Bruixeria?" Nata tried to process the words of the Elf Marga Realn.

"But does not according to the story and the historical record, the royal family and its descendants received the death penalty when Bruixeria lost the war?" the young man confirmed the information he had heard before.

"really. However, Rei has the illegitimate son of a Seithr in a small hamlet in the western region. Which is now the territory of the kingdom of Durahan." Val's back gives big information. A secret that no one knows.

"So you think Sefier is a descendant of that bastard child?" I heard Aksa speaking this time. "Are you sure?" the man asked for certainty.

"I'm not sure if Sefier was the son of the bastard. But I know about the whereabouts of the bastard. Rei once took me to see the boy when he was 1 year old" Val explained what he knew.

"But the Soul Stream of the man Seithr who had been bothering me at that time was indeed similar to the Soul Stream of the king of Bruixeria if I now remember again." Lily expressed her opinion.

"Well, so this is some kind of plan for revenge?" chirps Aksa.

"Ah, if this is so explain about the movement of the Glaive. It all makes sense that he is a descendant of the kings of the Black Fire War era" Lily said suddenly. Who seems to have realized this.

"So we've been guessing wrong all along? It was not the son of king Elbrasta who sent the Glaives to the Central Region 6 years ago. But that Sefier-Sefier turned out?" Sounds like Luque's a little sewot.

"After this tell Miss Yvvone and the Elves who are there to begin investigating about Sefier's relationship with Bruixeria. Who knows with this information they can get a clue as to how Sefier found Scion's bracelets and thankfully can figure out the weakness." Nata gave the order.

"Okay, after this I'll pass it on to Yvvone and Mr. Moor." Aksa answered.

"Then what about the progress of your work, Aks?" Nata connects with questions.

"For the manufacture of magic machines is already running half of what we planned. So is his anti-gravity equipment." Aksa answered.

"As for Alta Larma itself there is still no development. There was no record of his Magic Formation form. Even notes about how it works and its abilities are not well documented in the library owned by the Azure Clan itself," continued the young man.

"That's right. And what we have right now is just a vague depiction of the strength of each of its bracelets. It's also from an Epos and stories of people who have witnessed it directly." Aksa.

"That means inevitably we have to create a tool to sabotage all the most basic processes of his Magic Formation?" Nata tries to provide a solution.

"Yes, I had thought of making some kind of Soul Stream Jammer like mystic blade Val's. But I think we need something more than that." Aksa retaliated.

"Perhaps by making it overloaded? The overload?" Nata suggested another solution.

"But we don't know the size of the capacity that the weapon can hold. His fear even had the opposite effect and added to his attack power again." Aksa.

"Yes, you're right too" Nata replied with a slight lethargy. He just realized about it.

"Here you go, I'll think again after this," Aksa said later.

"All right then I leave it to you, Aks. Plan another week I'll be there to get all the magic tools."

"Okay, I'll prepare everything."

And the call ended.

-

The day after, the shocking news was again received by the Rhapsodia. The kingdom of Estrinx was attacked by high-level magic, which claimed hundreds of lives.

Fortunately Lugwin and several important figures of the Estrinx kingdom had anticipated it by installing Magic Protectors around their palaces and residences.

Although those Magic Protectors were not fully able to withstand high-scale magic attacks, it had at least provided a greater chance for them to survive and survive.

.

"Lude?! You hear me?" Lucia tried to contact Lugwin by Phone Magic the next night after he got news of the attack.

"Yes, I hear you, Luc." There was Lugwin's voice at the end of the Magic Phone Loudspeaker. Hoarse and uninspired.

"Are you okay? How's it going in there?" Lucia asked worriedly.

"You, you" Lugwin replied in a flat tone that his emotions could not guess.

"Say, what help do you need now?" Lucia desperately wants to be able to help her fellow leader.

"I don't know yet, Luc. Although the situation had started to get under control, some information had still not been gathered. Radio antennas were also heavily destroyed in the attack." Lugwin replied with still sounding flat. It was as if he no longer had the strength to show his emotions.

"Oh, okay. I-i understand. Call me right away when you need anything." Lucia repeated her words again as if Lugwin would not listen to her.

"Good, Luc. Thank you in advance," replied Lugwin before then heard someone break through his room.

"Your Majesty is grave!l" There was a sound coming from behind Lugwin.

"What's wrong?"

"Elbrasta's army, no, I mean the new royal army is attacking."

"attacked? Where are they now?"

"Outside the walls of Kotaraja."

"What's? Are they here?"

"It looks like they're using the Transferring Crystal, Your Majesty."

"Ah, fuck! Sorry Luc, but I have to go" said Lugwin hurriedly.

"In the meantime, Lug?!" And the connection was cut.

"We have to do something soon, Nat." Lucia immediately looked at Nata who was with her in the study.

While Nata himself was just silent staring back at Lucia who looked quite panicked. His mind was busy looking for ways and making plans.

"Snat?"

"Your Majesty, please ask lord Caspian and lord Vossler to prepare some soldiers and form a special team. Don't be too big" said Nata suddenly.

"Then order the military forces now on guard at the North Gate to prepare for movement. And after that ask the Yllgarians in Sekai forest to stand guard on the coast," continued the young man with a series of orders.

"Ba-good. Then what are you gonna do?"

"I have to see Aksa" Nata said quickly.

"Watching Aksa?"

"Then excuse me Your Majesty."

And without further explanation, Nata immediately ran away leaving Lucia alone.
