The Great War of Rhodesia

16. The Eastern Region II

After that Aksa and his entourage continued their journey to Sekai village on the east coast. They passed through a new translucent road around the southern foot of the mountain.

Passing through the lips of Sekai forest which now appears a small settlement Yllgarian just stood. Exactly opposite the area of forest animal husbandry and rubber plantations are also oil palm.

Almost the entire place was managed by the Yllgarians. Some appeared to greet the Hunter Trio as their Iron Train walked slowly through the place.

Then they had to travel through the forest which took quite a bit of time. Almost 2 and a half hours until finally arrived at the Mining area.

The area also looks very crowded now. And starting from this place continues eastward to Sekai village and port, it looks on the left and right of the road filled with buildings such as shops, shops, restaurants, bars, bars, even the inn and also the Star Fire Service Exchange Hall that seemed to stand neatly lined up lengthwise.

The street was like a trade and entertainment area that existed in cities in other regions. It's just that the shape that extends on the edge of the snack that they call Sekai Highway.

"Oh, so that's the Scrofa clan, the Yllgarian BabiHutan," Aksa said as he looked at the PigHutan-headed man complete with a clove that popped out of his mouth. His stomach looked puffed up, and his average height was only the shoulder of an adult.

They are seen passing normally on the side of the road. Their way of dressing still looks like the old Yllgarian way of dressing. Still with animal skin materials and woven tree bark that does not pay attention to shape and beauty like clothes that circulate widely in the region.

"true." Huebert answered quickly still from the steering chair next to Aksa. "Most of them are miners in this place" he added.

"There's a lot of Yllgarian in this place. So it's like their village." Aksa looks a little amazed to see the scenery along the road.

"This place is most populated by Yllgarian compared to other areas outside the forest. Probably because it is close to the forest and far from the big cities that are filled with many humans." Deuxter.

"And what shops and stalls along this street were opened by Yllgarians as well?" ask Aksa again.

"Only one part. Most are managed by humans. Because basically, the Yllgarians don't really like to trade, either" Deuxter replied later.

.

And then they entered the arch of the Sekai Village gate. Which is still the same as the East Village, this village also looks very crowded. Two-thirds of them are Yllgarians.

Fang and Shyam, who visited this morning, were already seen waiting for the arrival of Aksa's entourage in front of Fang's residence located in the center of the village.

"Welcome, Lord Aksa," said the old Lion as he approached. It looks like the mane on his head is still braided backwards so as not to look intimidating to others.

Yllgarian was also wearing a village chief's robe similar to that worn by Fla.

"How are you, Mr. Fang." Aksa waved while still looking amazed staring at the surroundings.

Yllgarian Tiger Beetles, Owls, Bulls, Bats, and Bears seen passing by doing their daily activities.

"You must be tired of having made the long journey to this place," Fang said.

"really. It's a long way to go even if there's an Iron Train." Aksa immediately replied in a slightly annoyed tone. "After this I have to tell Nata to make the path through the mountain to make it much faster," he added, looking excited.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I've heard such a common-sense tickling speech again after so long," Fang's reply was followed up with a laugh by another.

"By the way I want to see this region. Can you drive me around, Mr Fang?" aksa said later. Since the time was already late in the afternoon, then Aksa had to rush to see the region.

"You don't want to rest first inside? Let us prepare food or drink for you." Fang is seen offering hospitality as the host of the region.

"No need, Mr. Fang. After all, my body was stiff all because I sat too long inside the Iron Train. I need to stretch my muscles, "Aksa replied as she pulled her hands up and shook her head slowly.

"In exchange, can you prepare seafood dishes that Mrs Fatima and Mrs Arian think are very famous in this place? For our dinner later?" Aksa was seen smiling broadly at Fang.

Then they began to walk around the village while talking about facilities, commodities, and also obstacles in the region.

Aksa did not ask Fang for a record of his budget or population. Because he'd seen it when he was with Fla before. Because the recording of the entire eastern region was centered on the Eastern Village.

"The Plantation and Livestock Area that is on the lips of Sekai Forest that you passed, is now also fully managed by the Yllgarians. And it was reported to the East Village Chief, Fla," Fang said as they were on the sandy road leading towards the sea.

The ocean was already visible from the horizon line far away.

"Oh, so the more important the boy is" Aksa said.

"The mining area at the foot of Sekai mountain is now led by Mr. Win. Who reports directly to Miss Go." Fang continued his explanation.

"Oh, is there a fish market? Did Yllgarian himself do the fishing?" asked Aksa who was interested when they were already in an area with bamboo stalls and coconut leaves that were seen standing opposite each other on the side of the road.

"Most sailors are human. Because some of the Yllgarian clans in this place aren't very good against water." Fang explained.

"Heard there was a Yllgarian Lizard who came to this place a few years ago?"

"really. And some of them do go to sea often. But the Squam clan is not a Yllgarian who likes to live outside the forest" Fang said later. "They are now at the southeastern end of the Sekai forest. On the coastline far from this region."

"Oh, as it turns out." Aksa seemed to be understanding.

Soon they arrived on the east coast. The place now stands a guard post shaped like a fortress of rock, which faces towards the sea.

It also appears that an Iron Ship threw an anchor in deep waters far from the coast. Seemed to be on guard.

While several Steam Boats and small wooden vessels appear anchored in a simple dock on the beach right next to the guard fort earlier.

Suddenly seen Aksa take off his shoes and immediately ran over the waves that hit the beach. That was then followed by Luque, Rafa, and the Hunter Trio.

They play water on the beach until the sun is completely out of sight. Then return to Fang's house to prepare for dinner.

.

Suddenly, Lily appears as they are about to start dinner. Several Yllgarians were seen immediately standing up and welcoming him. It then provided seating on a long dining table that fit for 14 chairs lined up facing each other in the dining room of Fang's residence.

"Only on time. Is the job you're doing done, Lily?" aksa asked as soon as Lily had sat down before her.

"It has. After this I no longer need to live in the forest," the little rabbit replied later.

"We've prepared a bed for you in the tent of the Star Alcove, Miss Lily," said Rafa who looks very happy to know that Lily will stay with them at the bottom of the Star Alcove.

"Thank you, Miss Rafa," Lily replied with a small smile.

.

Then after finishing dinner and talking, finally Aksa's entourage resigned to return to the ravine of the Alcove of the Stars.
