The Great War of Rhodesia

Antology Story: Next Movements

The next day on the border of the Feymarch and Eblan regions, Versica held a secret meeting with Joan and her two former Champion friends, Karka and Guanna, at a small tavern outside the city.

"Rhapsodia did not use the forces of the rebels to guard the eastern side of the territory they now control" Versica said after sipping liquor from his tin can.

"In fact they plan to disband the rebel group and put its members to a much more needy part. As in the field of development and other means of supporting the needs of life," said Karka from the desk behind Versica.

"Yes, I can understand. Rhapsodia must have been trying to suppress a new uprising that might have tried to create their territories and secede from the kingdom." Joan who sat next to Versica and turned her back to Karka responded.

"really. What I caught was like that, too" Versica agreed.

"I personally have no problem with that, but some rebel leaders would not be happy about it" Joan said.

"Yes, that's for sure. Some rebel leaders in Saronia and Ravus have shown the alarm" Karka said, confirming Joan's remarks.

"However, they will not be able to do anything against the military power of the kingdom" Guanna said.

"May they not cause trouble in the future" Joan replied before then straightening out the drink in her glass.

"What about the rebels in the west?" It was Versica's turn to ask.

"Yes, the news has also reached their ears. And it seems like some of the rebel leaders are not happy about it" Joan replied. "However, they still have no choice but to be on the side of the great empire, right?" added again.

Versica nodded small. "Indeed, they must be wise in making choices" he said later. "Then, is Tyrion going to re-assemble the former Champion to face the upcoming war?" add again with questions.

"Yes. Agoros and Pollux had already succeeded in convincing Urgula and Kanya. Maybe a total of 6 people already" replied Joan serya refilling her empty glass.

"Yes, I'm sure Pollux will do just that" Versica said.

"And even though they didn't have their old Mystic Weapon, Tyrion somehow managed to provide them with a new one. Just like before," said Joan again provide additional information.

"The old man did have a lot of gimmicks behind his fancy shirt." This time it was Karka who interjected.

"Maybe the fight after this will be a little more difficult for you" said Joan again.

"May the two young men have a way to put an end to all of this quickly and without inflicting much damage." Guanna was hoping.

"Yes, we hope the same thing" Versica replied.

"Oh yes. Speaking of the two young men, Mr. Nata contacted me yesterday. And it looks like he is arranging a place and time to meet you" said Versica, who was recently reminded. "He'll call me back once everything's decided."

"Yes, I don't think our meeting is much needed anymore" Joan responded. "Because after seeing how their plans and actions in taking over the eastern side, I'm no longer worried about taking over the Eblan region" he added later.

"Yes, you're right. They are both reliable." Versica. "Because in addition to planning an attack, they are also busy rebuilding the area that was taken over" he added.

"Is Rhapsodia under construction in the midst of an ongoing war?" Joan was a little surprised.

Versica nodded back. "really. Even now the line between Mara City to Meso City and Ulry City is being built, he replied.

"I can't say anything anymore" said Joan. "I hope they take over this region and Cirrus soon to solve the problem of famine and disease."

"Yes, we all hope the same, too" Versica replied.

While at Tyrion's residence in Hui City on the border of Damcyan region, Vistralle and some of his men had a meeting with Tyrion.

"You are not upset, Vis" Tyrion said, shaking his head to open the meeting.

The remark was not too offensive to Vistralle. But some of his men are seen starting to change the look of their faces because they do not accept.

"Yes, I admit it, Ty," Vistralle replied calmly. "But I hope you don't make the same mistake as me" he added.

"Ck." Tyrion looked irritated at the Vistralle's words.

"So quickly move to put up a full fight against the kingdom before it's too late" Vistralle said. "And make an alliance with the kingdoms of Joren and Augra" he added with advice.

"Yes, if only your strength would not be able to keep them together," Vistralle replied calmly as he folded his arms in front of his chest.

"You!" Seen Tyrion pointing wildly at Vistralle.

This time it was Tyrion's men's turn who looked furious. While Vistralle's men started to smile disdainfully.

"You know it yourself? The Lycan you were proud of was finished off without any remainder in their first attack. Do you still think that Muggers are different?" vistralle said again still with his calm attitude.

And Tyrion could not answer the words of his guest. The fat man then dropped his body onto the back of the chair violently.

"And to remind you again, the kingdom has only used some of its power against me." Vistralle is back. "What other weapons are they still storing to attack this region later.

"Even a much larger Augra force in the number of soldiers they can push back when they want to attack the Trava mine." Narva's man with his hair ponytailed dissecting his speech to fix his sitting position.

"And do you think the army in the mining area is large enough to repel the core army of Augra, which is a hundred more soldiers?" vistralle added.

The faces of understanding and understanding began to be seen in some people who were in that place.

"Now we need more power than ever. Because if we fail to defeat the kingdom now, then they will not be brought down again" Vistralle said as if giving a warning to Tyrion.

While Tyrion was silent he did not reply. Seen from his laughing gaze, the middle-aged man was doing calculations in his head.

"Then what are your plans to convince Joren and Augra?" ask Tyrion later. Which was immediately greeted with a smile by Vistralle.

Switch to Eridu City, the mining town of the Kingdom of Augra south of the Trava Mountains.

It appears that the General who led the Augra forces to attack the Trava Mines a few days earlier, is now holding meetings with several military officials and a Jarl leader of the eastern region. It was Jarl who reported the attack on the Trava Mines to the King.

"So it's not a bird, Dux?" Jarl, known as Ricard, asked the general who was also a Dux by the name of Farnir.

Ricard's question was just to make sure after he finished listening to all the stories that were going on during the attack.

"really. What you call a Delay is actually a Ship that can float in the air." The General answered.

"But still it still sounds absurd" Ricard said half-sizzly.

"I didn't think they had anything like that. And is it true that the ship doesn't use magic?" This time a slightly old Narva spoke.

"Yes, Jarl Hendrix. That flying thing doesn't use magic. There was also a Soul Stream that emanated from that thing was the Soul Stream of the witches who were on board the Ship." Now a knight sitting next to the General answered and explained.

"Although we have managed to dismantle their ruse, still we cannot face the flying object. Then what if they do attack this town?" The man named Hendrix began to look panicked and worried.

"If they really wanted to make an attack on this city, then they must have arrived at this place from two days ago," the General replied trying to astonish. "I don't think they intend to make an attack on this town."

"Yes, at least not yet," Ricard fast-tracked. "Then what are your plans after this, Dux?" ask him later to the General.

"Attacking through the Trava Hills is no longer an option" replied the General. "Now live directly attack, either to the border of the Lighthill region or the border of Saronia. Or maybe in both places simultaneously" he explained later.

"That means you have to go back to Kotaraja to report and reorganize the troops?" Ricard asked to be sure.

"really. The plan is to leave this place at dawn tomorrow. Because the sooner, the better."

"I agree. Because reportedly yesterday the city of Dios has been successfully taken over by the kingdom. And it indicates that the eastern side has now returned entirely to their control" Ricard said, trying to share the news with others.

"Quite impressive. They even managed to defeat Vistralle in full." Hendrix spoke.

"It's not surprising anymore with the flying objects they have. Because with these objects, it is not only beneficial in terms of air strikes, but also makes it easier for them to send troops anywhere and anytime without being realized by the guards," Ricard said giving his assessment and analysis.

"I think we need to deploy troops with Mystical Weapons to confront the aircraft" the general replied. "That's also if they haven't prepared anything to anticipate it" he added later.
