"Zen, where are we going."
"Go to Tax Place."
In the hallway of his castle Zen walked quickly followed by Irene and Fernanse beside him. Zen was heading to the training ground of his soldiers, The reason Zen went there was because he wanted to meet his general, Taks.
Zen walked through the hallway in his castle, until he finally reached the training ground of the soldiers. The room looked like a field in the room, the floor of the room was made of earth. People gathered at the training ground, they were the leaders of the troops who were subordinates of General Taks.
At the training ground Zen saw Taks standing in the center of the assembled leaders. Zen walked towards Taks being, the gathered leaders sensed the existence of Zen as well as Taks. They all saluted Zen, after they gave a salute Zen told all those people except Taks to leave.
In accordance with Zen's orders, the leaders left the training ground.
"What made you come here, your majesty?"
"I just want to give you a little command."
"What is that government, your majesty?"
"You know it's not that the humans will attack in a few days."
"Yes, I know your majesty."
"I want you to bring some border warriors to fight them. You're the one who's gonna lead the army, isn't that a problem, Taks?"
"I'm the one leading? Not you?"
Tak asked Zen in surprise. Tak know that his rank in the military is quite high, but it is still not comparable to Zen. After all Zen was an ancestor, a general in the military was incomparable to him.
Usually when there is an attack in the castle, an ancestor is the one who will lead the army. But this time Zen told Taks to lead the Army, which is why Taks became a little confused with Zen's actions.
"Yes, you will lead the army. Bring around two hundred soldiers, that number should be enough to fight those humans."
"But your majesty, why don't you lead the army? and also on the side of those humans are heroes. I'm not sure I can beat those heroes."
"Tax, I can't lead an army. There are some troublesome things that will happen later. I'll only see battles from afar, and also you won't have to worry about those heroes.
"
"Although so noble, they are heroes. I'm not sure if I can beat them or not."
The worry felt by Taks is something natural. Unlike Zen who has a high percentage of his wins, Taks does not have that. No matter how powerful Taks might be, he was still far below the hero.
"There's no need to worry about that, Taks, even though they are heroes, but they've just been called. With your current strength they are not a problem."
Although the journey of the strength of the heroes is very fast, they have just been called. The heroes are not currently a threat to other races. That's why Zen believes that Taks is still stronger than the current heroes.
"Is that true, your majesty?"
"Yes, of course. After all, if the situation is urgent, I will join you immediately."
"All right, your majesty if you say that. I'll bring about two hundred men and head there soon."
"You can go now, I'll catch up later."
"Okay, your majesty, then I'll excuse you."
Tak bows his head to Zen, then he goes walking away from the training ground. Once Taks has gone Fernanse and Irene come towards Zen.
"Well what, Irene?"
"Not telling the truth to General Taks?"
"It's okay, I've told him most of it. After all it would be better for him not to know everything."
Most people would be better off not knowing many things. Usually people who know too much information will die sooner. Either it dies from being killed so that information does not spread, or it kills itself because of too much pressure that a person receives because of the information he has.
A person who does not have too much information will also live better than others. That's because they don't think too much about things, so they won't live in the shadows.
Zen decides not to give too much information to Taks because he thinks that Taks will not be able to focus on the battle because of the information he receives from him.
"If your majesty has said that, then I will not ask again."
"So Zen, when are we going to go see that battle?
"
"So, I still haven't thought about it."
"You won't be able to lie this time Zen, after a while with you I realized something about you. All the actions you take always go according to the plan you've made."
"That's just your feeling, Fernanse, where maybe I always go according to my plan. Every moment there will always be something that happens so suddenly. After all, it is impossible for humans to always act according to the plan that has been made, so acting according to what has been planned is impossible."
"To be true at all times there will always be some things that happen so suddenly. But I don't think for you it's a problem, even if it happens you can always make a new plan again and act according to the new plan. And it is also true that doing such a thing is impossible for humans to do. But you're not human, you're a vampire so I guess that's the easy thing for you."
Fernanse looked at Zen's face, as did Zen he looked at Fernanse. But Zen only looked at Fernanse with an ordinary gaze, not an intimidating or condescending gaze.
"It seems you know me very well Fernanse."
"Well, after a while with you, I found out. Anyway I'm sure Miss Irene has found out about that too."
Fernanse gave a small smile to Irene, Irene returned the smile from the Fernanse with her smile.
"So Zen, I asked once again. When are we going?"
"Are you right Banar wants to know. Even if you don't know it, I'll take you instead."
"It's true that even if you don't tell me when we're leaving, you'll take me anyway. But this time there's something I want to prepare before I leave, so I need you to tell me when we're leaving."
"All right, I'll tell you. We're leaving tomorrow, so prepare what you want to prepare. I'm not waiting for you."
"Alright, I'll prepare it as soon as possible."
