Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
33. Raid and Survive (1)

The warm morning sky felt so cold that day, the waves of the sea that began to tide did not also recede since last night. The cold wind that blows with the dark sky decorated with lightning lightning lightning so that it makes the feathers goosebumps.

"Fobetor you stay here and help Rian and Lord Ares face Poseidon. I'll go to the Akasa residence with Valas and the mercenaries and half knights"

"Are you sure?"

"Look down, if anything happens to me you'll come right up to me, I'll leave the one here to you" Novan patted Fobetor's shoulder with a smile. Novan was afraid, whether he would succeed, whether he could carry out his plan, and whether he would fail. But Novan knew that doubt was a natural thing for humans, it was just a fog that covered the view for a moment and would then go away at a later date.

"Go back safely"

Rian looked at Novan with a gaze that exuded worry and trust. Novan smiled and stroked Rian's head for a moment and replied.

"I believe in you, bring victory for me - not for everyone"

"Be careful on your way, sir!" Perseus appeared to pay his respects to Novan, alongside him Medusa also appeared to do the same.

"Yes, you guys too. See you around"

With a swift Novan directly mounted a white horse and with a loud voice he then led the troops to undaunted forward.

"Hear everything! Maybe there will be no tomorrow for us! This is not war! But after this there will be our comrades who will leave us in this battle as well as if we do not protect this city, there is no word of retreat because from now on we will just step forward!"

"Our goal is clear! Protect our pride! Our family, our city, our land, and our Leader!"

"We will immediately face two battles, if there are personnel who feel unable to stay in the city because of fear of fighting monsters then join the army that I will bring to the Akasa residence, he said, but remember one thing.. That monster is no more sinister than a human.."

"And we will soon fight the humans who have locked up our leaders! For the sake of Duke Candra!"

The entire army immediately cheered excitedly, their fear instantly dissipating from seeing the red eyes of Novan, eyes that only exuded courage and confidence.

From a distance Ares crossed his arms while saying "basic.. If only he had not been my enemy I might have chosen him to be my messenger.." The spirit that Novan had created had succeeded in making Ares the god of war amazed, for a long time he had not seen such a strong and courageous cheer of spirit.

"From that it seems that our enemy is already seen tuh" the god Indra looks staring into the open sea, right in the middle of the ocean a whirlpool was created and in the middle of it Poseidon who was holding his golden trident out with a face full of anger.

"It's going to be a great fight" in the black sky a vortex formed and from inside there a white elephant came out from heaven. Airawata seemed to run straight ahead of Rian and confidently Rian climbed the Mount of God Indra by holding an arrow enveloped by lightning.

Meanwhile, the troops led by Novan seemed to be moving forward towards the territory of Akasa. Thousands of gazes and fears from the residents of the Akasa region were so obvious, many of them hiding in their homes or places that could not be reached by the eyes of the troops, they did not dare to block the Novan invasion movement, because they themselves knew that Duke Akasa was the first to start trouble with the Candra family.

The movement of the Novan troops instantly came to a halt as in front of him a green-robed army appeared to be blocking their way. From behind the army Samuel came out in noble clothes that were so elegant and nice.

Only with that sentence did the troops who blocked the road then move aside, giving the troops of Novan a chance to enter the mansion of Akasa residence.

"Is this gonna be okay? You can be dragged into the charge of rebellion" asked Nvan with a happy grin.

"i just have to say I came here to prevent the commotion caused by Duke Akasa for defiantly holding Duke Candra, then I just say that I failed to hold your troops" samuel said that voicing his scheming, so he will not get criticism from the kingdom instead he will be stamped as a mediator between the Akasa and Candra families.

"There will surely be rumors that the Vishnu family, the symbol of the earth, tried to break the feud between the Akasa family of the sky and the Candra family of the moon yes, but something on earth can't interfere in the battle of the heavens right?"

"So you realized it? I feel guilty, sorry, but as a human messenger of the god Vishnu I cannot let my god into this mess. I will only help you from behind" Samuel smiled.

"That's more than enough" Novan runs his horse past the troops of Vishnu's family. Now that his plan of attack turned into a siege, the entire Akasa army seemed to have been conquered first by the forces of Vishnu and with the strength of the forces of Novan now the defense outside the Akasa residence has been broken. Following Kanz's command, Candra's forces besieged the entire side of the mansion and stormed in with its center between the front and rear gates of the mansion.

The guard soldiers of the mansion began to show themselves, but Novan knew this fight was not a fight between humans, but gods and humans. The soldiers looked much stronger than before, their eyes were emitting the light of god's blessing, it meant that Goddess Hera and Goddess Ratna had given their blessings to the Akasa warriors.

But that does not mean this is an emergency because Novan knows the blessings of the two Goddesses have shortcomings. Goddess Ratna gave the blessing of healing and protection of the moon, but if during the day the blessing was so weak, it meant that Novan had to finish this battle before night came.

Meanwhile, Dewi Hera gives blessings in the form of courage and love for honor, raising the spirit and courage of the Akasa troops but on the other hand the troops of Novan also have the power of blessing from Ares the god of war. The immense strength of both the child and the mother made the spirit and courage of the soldiers of both sides so strong.

"This battle will quickly end if we continue forward!! Don't waver! Find our Leader! For the sake of Duke Candra's pride!!" Shouted Novan gave direction and increased the courage of the troops.

Such a huge raid went smoothly but then an arrow surrounded by blue flames seemed to stab several soldiers at once. Dozens of arrows appeared in the air and on top of the gate wall of the Akasa mansion, a white-robed young man stood firmly holding an arrow.

"How dare you rush into this residence.." Abdi stared at the guts of the Candra troops with eyes that radiated anger. "Your smoky and polite behavior has gone beyond the limit!" The rain of arrows claimed the lives of half of Akasa's army, while the rest survived by taking cover desperately.

"Isn't trapping and kidnapping the other family's leader much more disrespectful, Abdi?" Abdi who realized the existence of Novan then rounded his eyes in shock.

Novan seemed to hold his dagger tightly, he managed to slash all the arrows that fell towards him but he could not protect half his army. Somehow the sight of the fallen corpse made Novan remember his fifth round, when everyone he believed was dead left him.

But now the situation has been much different, he was the one who protected the Akasa Mansion, was the one who should stand in the position of Abdi. But now the Akasa family even all the associates he recognized became his enemies. Novan looked at Abdi with a slightly pitiful face, the person in front of him was his younger brother. But now he is his enemy.

Novan must destroy what he once protected and was proud of. The scorching sky was slowly filled with storm clouds and along with the thunderclaps Novan pulled out the arrows stuck on the ground.

"I ask for your forgiveness and blessings, forgive all the comrades who have sacrificed themselves and give us your blessings, Lord Indra" lightning struck towards each side of the mansion for a while, paralyze a quarter of Akasa's army.

And with his eyes closed Novan just fell silent, he did not want to see his old colleagues tormented in front of his eyes. No, the lightning did not kill anyone but simply made the target unable to move due to receiving a high-voltage electric shock.

With round eyes Abdi watched the power of the god who was supposed to protect his family instead attacked his family. In only he kept asking what had happened, why the god Indra who had always blessed the Akasa family was now attacking them instead. Similarly to the figure of Novan, Abdi actually knows that Novan should be his brother but mysteriously everyone forgets him, all he remembers is that Novan left him when they were children, and then the next day no one remembers Novan.

Abdi thought it was as if Novan was wiped from that world.

"Why did you attack us. Could it be.. There is something I don't know?"
