The Great War of Rhodesia

35. Counterattack II

"What is a high-level magic attack?" Daniel asked. Fear filled his face.

"We need to get back soon." Alexander.

"For Prince Alexander." Nata. "We don't know what's really going on. So don't be rash to go right back. It could be a dangerous situation there" he added.

"Truely Nata." Lucia agrees.

"Then what should we do now?" ask Alexander again.

"We find out first the situation and the circumstances there." Nata answered.

"If so immediately send someone to examine it," said Daniel commanding Lessage who was sitting next to him.

"We have a much faster way of ascertaining the situation there directly, Mr. Daniel," Nata cut.

"really?"

"really. But I need to call Aksa first" replied Nata.

"Then call him here, Nat." This time Lucia ruled.

"Your Majesty."

.

Nata then contacted Aksa to ask him to come with Eden and the Regional Mapping team complete with all the equipment.

Eden was deliberately asked to come because he and his team, the Regional Mapping Team, had indeed begun to be seconded in the military as part of the communication division for the war this time. The task of the team is to control the Supervisory Drone to ensure the terrain conditions directly.

It took an hour to use the Iron Train to move from the place where the Teleportation Gate was built to the Refugee Shelter area on the eastern border.

However, it only takes less than half an hour when using a Flying Train that moves at full speed.

And having no time for more than greeting each other, Eden and her team immediately prepared their equipment once they arrived in the refugee shelter.

Elbrasta's third prince already knew the reason he was called along with Aksa, as well as his duty.

It seems Kandis and Kurois are eager to talk to Eden because they have not met for almost 6 years. But just by looking at the figure of the young man who had just grown up did something deftly and confidently, making both people feel happy and proud.

It took about half an hour to prepare all the equipment before then two Supervisory Drones were flown towards the northern region. One to the Cilum region and the other to the Fog Valley.

In addition to its nearly limitless range of controllers, due to using the Marking Magic method like the one used in the Magic Phone, the Drone was also powered by an Active Magic Formation that could continuously pick up the Soul Stream around it.

Which means, the object can continue to fly traveling a considerable distance without worrying about running out of power.

.

"How are you, Ed?" Alexander came to say hello after they just had to wait for the Drone-Drone to arrive at their destination. Which is estimated to be about an hour.

"I'm fine, sis," Eden replied after handing over the Drone's controller to one of his team members.

The ten members of the Regional Mapping Team were in focus with the controller in front of two LED Magic mounted on a table inside the military tent.

"Oh? Mrs Kandis? Kuro?" eden said a little surprised after finding two people he had not seen for a long time.

"You look dashing and handsome now the Prince of Eden." Kandis said with pride.

"You could have been lady Kandis," Eden replied in pleasantries.

"Pardon me for not being there when you need my protection, Prince Eden." This time Kurois who spoke while looking down embarrassed in front of Eden.

"It wasn't your fault, Kuro. Never blame yourself for what happened." Eden replied to Kurois apology and guilt.

"You grew up to be a good and wise young man, Prince," said Kandis still looking proud and slightly moved.

"Yes, because here I learn from everyone. From a gambler to a Holy Girl. From Yllgarian to the Elves," Eden replied as it was.

"But I am guilty of the Prince. I have failed to fulfill the last order of Prince Grevier to guard Her Majesty Queen Daisy and the both of you." Kurois insisted.

While Eden was silent, he did not answer. He doesn't know what to answer.

"Kuro was actually sent by Brother Grevier to protect us during the Mugger attack that claimed the life of his mother seven years ago. But he was defeated by the Glaives." Alexander suddenly took the initiative to tell his sister.

"real prince. And after that I was held in a Kotaraja dungeon for almost 6 years. Until then Mrs Kandis arrived also at the place. And I've got information about what's going on outside." The Seithr man added his explanation.

"Yes, Prince." Kandis. "But you don't have to worry. Because we can survive and even escape from that place" he continued trying to change the atmosphere.

"And we still have to keep going and fighting. Because this is not the end." This time Alexander spoke.

"Prince Alexander's words were correct. This isn't the end." Daniel chimed.

"Then what exactly is all this magic equipment, the Prince of Eden? This is all your equipment, isn't it?" This time Lessage suddenly interrupted the question.

"Yes, this equipment is my responsibility. So basically...."

And Eden also began to explain about the equipment owned by the Regional Mapping Team, along with the tasks of the team. Either before the war or after being seconded in the military.

Their conversation continued until an hour passed unknowingly.

"Prince of Eden, both Drones have arrived at their destination" one of the members of Eden said, triggering not only Eden, but also Eden, but everyone who was inside the tent was to get closer to the magic board of the LED Magic.

.

Visible from both of the Magic Windows that were quite large extended it was the state of the northern region after being hit by a high-level magic attack.

The left one shows the view from the top of the Fog Valley region, and the right one shows the southern coastal coastline from above.

And everything is pale white. The frozen expanse seemed limitless.

"Is this not outrageous? That magic was able to freeze the western sea coast along the coastline of the Cilum region?" Aksa shook her head in disbelief as she looked at the picture from the magic board.

"How do I make a countermeasure to a Mystical Weapon that has such a capacity and magic skill variant?" added complaining.

"It's not until the Magic Formation Set has been completed." Nata.

"try on? Why did people make such rich magic equipment? Do they not think what if they fall into the hands of the bad guys?" sahut Aksa.

"Did you also think that way when making your equipment all this time?" ask Yvvone suddenly.

The Elf girl had just arrived. Follows Rafa, Luque, and Kanna by Iron Train.

"Of course I think that." Aksa replied in a tone of disbelief. Because he feels like he is being compared to people he doesn't like.

"At least I didn't make my equipment perfect. There must be one or two shortcomings and weaknesses that I deliberately put," he continued then gave an explanation.

"Death Star is given a back door so that it can be destroyed, really," followed again with words that are not understood by others.

"For the time being the only way to deal with Alta Larma is to separate the bracelets." Nata. Trying to stop the obscure chatter from Aksa.

"It's just that we have to get close and go against the user directly, right?" Aksa's still a little sewot.

"While the magic that had been used all this time was removed from a very long distance. How try?" he added more and more sewot.

"We do need the Teleportation Gate and the Magic Plane immediately" said Nata, who indirectly agreed with his best friend's words just now.

"Not to mention we also have to take over the Arcane mines in the Cilum region before they have enough supplies to carry out an attack behind the border line." Aksa.

"For the Teleportation Gate it might be finished in a few more days at the earliest." Yvvone replied.

"As for the Flying Carriage, I heard from the Moorish master there are already two. It's just not tried to run," continued the tiny Elf then.

"May we not lose quickly with them." Nata.

After learning of the situation, Lucia immediately warns Lugwin of the possibility of Estinx being the next target.

Alexander and his followers decided to return to the Fog Valley by land from Rhodesodia. The plan is to simultaneously search for the rest of the soldiers who managed to survive along their way home.

.

The next day Lucia receives word that Makari has survived. Nearly half of his troops were seriously injured and even died. The same thing happened to Alexander's army.

And with the arrival of the aid of medicine and foodstuffs sent by Rhodesodia to Alexander and Makari, the much-anticipated Teleportation Gate was finally completed.
