The Great War of Rhodesia

27. Fall of Dios City

While at the residence of Vistralle in the City of Dios. The news of the defeated Blood Moon Yllgarian Fighter Union arrived using the Arcane Stone. Which means the message is an emergency for Vistralle.

"It's hard to believe they can find a way to defeat those Lycan. I had thought that just getting rid of the Augra army was great enough," said Vistralle from his usual seat in the meeting room.

"Then what are we gonna do now, Dux?" asked John from the chair to the left of Vistralle.

"What else if not escape. We no longer have a chance to win" Vistralle replied bitterly. "The forces that managed to defeat.no, finish off the Blood Moon fighting guild, it is no longer a match for our troops anymore," he added that time with a slight laugh.

"Then...Where are we going after this, Dux?" John hesitated to ask. Because he was not sure whether his master meant sarcasm or not.

"We're going to head to Tyrion's place" Vistralle replied quickly. Which indicates that he is serious. "We have to help him convince Joren and Augra to combine forces to defeat Rhapsodia" he explained later.

"Are they going to agree to do that, Dux?" This time Lucas asked. "Maybe Tyrion can persuade Joren's side through his cousin Jarl Salier. But it will be difficult to convince the Augra side" he added.

"We have to work hard to convince them. Because if not, then Rhapsodia will not be defeated again," replied Vistralle later. "They must be aware of this reality."

"Alright then, Dux. I will prepare everything immediately before their troops arrive in this city" John chimed in as he stood up from his seat.

"I think it would have been much better if I had initially sided with Rhapsodia. The kingdom will not be able to be dammed again in the future" said Vistralle cryptically as he followed the others standing.

By dusk, the army under Lucia finally arrived before the fortified gate of Dios City.

It was seen that the city gates were tightly closed, with several warriors and witches preparing on top of the walls of his fortress. Seem alert and agitated.

"It seems that Vistralle and his followers are no longer in the city, Your Majesty," Caspian said from a horse next to Lucia. "According to information from our spy network, he and some of his accomplices had sailed by ship a few hours ago from the port on the west side" he explained later.

"Ck, that coward" said an exasperated Lucia. "Surely he's looking for shelter to Tyrion's place" he guessed later.

"Yes, I also think that way, Your Majesty," replied Caspian who had a similar guess to Lucia.

"All right then. Let's finish this war. And began to prepare to attack Tyrion's territory," said Lucia then who was considered as an order by her subordinates.

"Okay, Your Majesty!" sahut Caspian firmly.

..

.

And it didn't take long, the Dios City guard soldiers who had been abandoned by their leader finally surrendered after Lucia with the Loudspeakers offered forgiveness and safety for their lives, when they give up without a fight.

And then the gates of Dios City were opened right at the time when the sun was completely out of sight. This seems to be a sign that Lucia has succeeded in occupying the region of Ceodore, and officially ended Vistralle's rule in the southern plains.

The news was immediately spread to all places throughout the region of Rhodesia through Radio Communications. And it made the spirit of the soldiers and also the workers in the cities they had just taken over become more and more.

.

While Aksa, Nata, Lily, and Val were resting while enjoying tea inside their tent in Varun City square when news of Lucia's success taking over Dios City was heard.

"Eventually our goal is also completed even though only half of it," said Aksa who was seen extending his body casually on his chair.

"Yes, hopefully the rest will be able to go according to the plan," replied Nata who looks focused on staring at the book he is writing.

"I want to return to the Central Region immediately. I want to immediately soak in warm water," said Aksa added.

"Yes, besides we also have to check and make sure, that the material we need from Trava Mining is received and processed correctly by the East Star craftsmen." Nata added to.

"Oh, and we also have to start preparing things for the festival later," said Aksa, who was as if he had just remembered about it.

"Obviously a festival to celebrate the success of this kingdom to take back its territory" Aksa said with confidence and passion. "Once upon a time as a celebration to commemorate our second coming." A big smile began to appear on the young man's face.

"Watching our second coming? Are we drinking the same tea?" sahut Nata grabbed his tea glass from the table, then kissed the surface as if suspecting that the drink is not tea.

"I'm not drunk, Nat," replied Aksa.

"We've even been back almost a year now. It's ridiculous," said Nata, as he nodded slowly.

"Ok, okay. Then to commemorate the anniversary of our second coming. Hows it? You satisfied?" reply Aksa who looks increasingly irritated.

"As you are, Aks," said Nata who seemed resigned as he closed his book and began to rise to his feet. "I'd like to call Miss Versica first. To talk about the plan to attack the Eblan area and the meeting with the women of the former Urbar spy," he continued before leaving the tent.

"Go there, you people who like to find a reason for a celebration" Aksa replied with a grunt.

While across the table, Lily and Val are busy staring at Aksa's Laptop screen while still enjoying their tea, unaffected by the debate between the two young men.

The next morning a large wave of workers and craftsmen began to depart from the central region to the City of Varun, along with the arrival of Lucia from the City of Dios.

While the soldiers in various regions began to move towards the border line to prepare. Especially the places adjacent to the Tyrion region. Like Feymarch and Saronia.

While in the Central Region, joy and joy struck all citizens. The news of the success of Rhapsodia taking over the territory of Vistralle became hot news and discussion in every place in the Central Region.

In addition, some of them also hope to be able to re-open the gate and meet their separated relatives, or at least be able to see their homeland.

.

Then a meeting between Lucia, the Military Superior, and Nata and Aksa was held at the Ignus family's residence after lunch.

Also present at the meeting were Caspian, Evora, Orland, Amithy, and Parpera.

"I'm sure that after this Tyrion, Joren and Augra will unite their forces to attack us" Caspian said.

"Yes, at least they will start to cooperate in carrying out the attack to repel our troops" Nata said, agreeing with Caspian's remarks.

"Joren and Augra can deploy at least five thousand soldiers in one strike if they want to." Orland added with information.

"Do you have any plans to deal with that number, Nat?" asked Jean from across the table in front of Aksa.

"There is no specific plan. It's just that we need to act quickly before them" Nata replied.

"Are you going to rely on the capabilities of our Airship, Mr Nata?" This time it was Evora who asked from next to Caspian.

"Our third Air Ship is finished and ready to use" Aksa suddenly said.

"Yes, that's for sure, Mr. Evora. We will use the Airships to carry out attacks on their important places" Nata replied. "But not only that, we also need to be fast in the field of information. Which means it's time for us to contact the former spy who was once called by Miss Versica" he added, addressing Lucia.

"Yes, I get it. Set a time for a meeting with him. And if you need my whereabouts, I'll come." Lucia gave her approval to Nata's plan.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to come see him. Maybe later after everything's done." Nata answered politely.

"alright. Then we will start discussing the plan of rebuilding the Eastern province" Lucia said later.

And the meeting continued.
