The Great War of Rhodesia

12. South City III

"I see also it seems like the group of Botanical Druids Miss Ellian managed to green this city," said Aksa then while closing the third book that he had just finished reading it.

Nearly 45 minutes more Aksa read the books without surgery. The others seemed to be talking to themselves, letting Aksa and not disturbing what he was doing.

"Now the Botanical Druid group is no longer under Miss Ellian's leadership. Now they stand alone under the name Botanical Rhapsodia." Amanda explains. "But it's true that they managed to do greening in this Southern City. Thankfully, this place is not so dusty. Although it is still hot and dry" he continued.

"Yes, I think I have some input on the moisture problem of this region." Aksa was seen stretching his body and relaxing his stiff nape after looking down long enough to read the three great books.

"really?" This time Diana said, looking very enthusiastic.

"Yes, I'll talk directly to the Druids, as well as Miss Ellian," Aksa replied later. "And after reading the whole note earlier, you could say this region has developed very well," he continued, taking the yellow bread that had been served in a small plate on the table when he was busy reading.

"The income from this estate tax increased by eighty percent in five years, which is quite remarkable. Perhaps what has not been really developed is the artificial goods of the tribes in this city." Aksa said again that Saraya put a piece of bread into her mouth.

"Maybe the government should intervene more in the development of small businesses in the region. Because according to what I saw while traveling earlier, each tribe has their own expertise in making goods," Aksa's method that returned to feed the pieces of bread into his mouth.

"When in fact, their artificial goods can still be combined again into a form of better goods and higher value" he closed then after sipping the rest of the drink in his glass.

"You actually read all those books in just a while? Notes in that five-year period?" Kandis seemed to not believe Aksa understood the entire contents of the great books just by reading them for less than 45 minutes.

"I'm a God Envoy, so you shouldn't be surprised. But if you are amazed anyway, you can," said Aksa while putting an empty plate on the table.

"But it seems like it will be difficult to get them to work together, because the groups make them live in groups. Can't really blend in." Amanda says. "Do you have a way to remove those groups? Is the cluster system unsuitable for application in this region?" tanyanya.

"There is no need to remove these groups. Because it is their identity. It's the government that should facilitate them." Aksa answered.

"Will it not be much better if we eliminate those groups? This region succeeded in eliminating the status of nobility and common people, but it was the same if it was replaced with groups that could not blend in like that." Amanda expressed her opinion.

"Groups or groups in society will always exist. It doesn't have to always blend in, as long as the Social mobility is still open anyway, it'll be fine." Aksa answered.

"Social mobility? What is it, Mr Aksa?"

"The opportunity given to each person to be able to enter or leave a certain social strata."

"meaning?"

"So everyone has at least the same opportunity to move in and out of a certain group or group. Not like the status of Nobles in other regions. Which may be more precisely referred to as the caste system. Status they've had since they were born."

"Oh, like that." Amanda seemed to understand. "That means it's okay to have many groups and factions within a kingdom?"

"The emergence of a group and a group cannot be prevented. They are the result of the Management Hierarchy. Forbidding their growth would even lead to a rebellion." Aksa searched his words. "So all we need to do is watch and limit his movements when they seem to start harming."

"Management hierarchy?" Amanda found something else she didn't understand.

"Some groups are created based on how the management of needs in a region runs. Groups such as soldiers and farmers are formed because of food needs and security in a region. Or a smaller example is the Seeding, Management, and Harvesting group formed based on the division of labor in a land or rice field. And next.

"Things like that are inevitable. But as the term Social Mobility I mentioned earlier, if it does not rule out the possibility for a farmer to be a soldier, or a Sower to be a Manager or Harvester, if not close the possibility for a farmer to be a soldier, so the group and the group are still healthy enough to defend," explained Aksa who sounded unreasonable to most people who listened to him.

"That means the application of bad caste to the government of a kingdom?" Amanda looks increasingly critical.

"There is nothing good or bad in its application to a kingdom. Because both castes and groups are formed from a culture naturally. It is even possible to apply both simultaneously in a region, the origin of the system only applies as a mere status. There is no power in it.

"So in the end it all depends on where the civilization is going. If we want a system that is easier to set up without regard to anything else, we can use caste, or in this case it is Narva's status as a Noble who has power over others." Aksa ended his explanation.

"I understand." Amanda nodded seriously.

"I am too." Diana added while shaking steadily.

"But can such a caste system as the status of the Narva nobility be abolished?" Amanda still adds questions to Aksa.

"The caste can be changed by reorganizing society as a kingdom does when it colonizes another kingdom."

"So it has to go through territorial conquest?"

"That's the easy way," Aksa replied then casually.

"If I may know, how old are you, Lord Aksa?" Amanda couldn't bear to ask.

"Nineteen years." Aksa mynabut fast. "Alright then, now I want to look to the south gate."

"All right, we'll take you." Thomas offered himself.

"But we better have lunch first" Amanda said.

"The idea is brilliant."

-

And after finishing lunch with Amanda at Amithy's residence, Aksa's entourage immediately headed to the military base that was right at the South Gate.

The building, which used to be just a small guard post to the left and right of the gate, is now transformed into a place where military decisions are made.

Yllgarian Owl dressed as a knight came out of the building upon learning of the arrival of Aksa and his entourage.

"Oh, Mr Aksa? You here?" Evora came over.

"Oh, Mr. Evora. Yes, I want to see the situation behind the gate. Can it?" aksa said without further ado.

"We can see it from the top of the cliff wall if you want," replied Evora who was also without further ado.

"Alright," said Aksa quickly.

Aksa stared far ahead through his binoculars. And it appears a cliff fortress standing south of the gate as far as 10 times the distance of the arrow shot. Some soldiers looked on guard.

"Oh, so that's their guard post?" Aksa dropped her binoculars.

Now the eight plus Evora were already standing on the cliff of the Southern Gate fortress, observing the territory on the outer side.

"really. They built it a year ago when they started to stop attacking" Evora explained.

"They built it with the help of witches?" aksa asked as she raised her hand to form a hat over her eyes to protect her from the sunlight.

"really. The cliffs were made by witches" replied Yllgarian later.

"Hm.. menark." Aksa looked a little smile. "All right then. Thank you for your help, Mr. Evora. But because it's noon, then I'm sorry first," he added.
