Fire And Water
Cp 58# Life or Death

Not long walk finally Samuel was taken to the war room where there is only a city table with a map that is none other than the area of the island, Samuel who saw was quite surprised by his opponent's formation, which split into 3 directions, each of which would move to paralyze the right and left wings of the Black Rose

Samuel who stood and stared at the map so that he could memorize the geography of the island that would become a war place tomorrow, Samuel's gaze made the General look confused who finally asked Samuel

"What's wrong with you?" the general asked in confusion as they were in a quiet room with no guards there

"Nothing, I'm just a little trying to memorize your place and your not-ticks" Samuel replied without thinking

"What do you mean" said the general, putting on a standby face

"Haha,.. How can you possibly win if the enemy's route becomes your branch's headquarters" Samuel laughed while looking at the map

"Ha!!.." confused the General with a surprised face

"I didn't think a little bit that the left wing wanted you to make a branch base, you thought that the fort was the full power of the Enemy and you made a defense there so that you could close their escape route, but really it is not the main army but the vanguard troops that will be used as bait to fool you"

"You mean?!" confused General

"Do you have a land mine?" ask Samuel

"Have it but we only brought about 23 pieces" replied the General

"Good, now order your army to mount it on the left wing"

"If it's easy"

"And defeat the fortress of the enemy" Samuel said

With these words the general was immediately surprised and denied Samuel's request

"Well,.. You think it is easy!!, you know my soldiers have tried their best to break into their defenses but until now they have not found the bright spot so how can we break into it" the general argued

"You've got ship cannons!!"

"But you should know that if we shoot without coordinates that will surely make the forest ecosystem destroyed and again the current war alone has caused fires everywhere" the general replied

"If the problem is you calm down, because I have the power to find a location and suppress forest fires"

"You mean, the wind power that time"

"That time?" puzzled

"Yes, if it's not wrong first he wants to negotiate with us and because he's also our plan is broken but it looks like he already knows with our arrival, because the time we decided to fight back, he said, they retreated and after that we got attacks from various directions that ended up being like this"

"You mean he's the one who uses the wind element?"

"I don't know for sure, but when we saw the moment we shot him, he looked like he could pull out some kind of magic that suddenly came out of a big whirlwind"

"Did that man die!!!" asked Samuel in a high tone

"And I told you that he's retreating even though some soldiers are dead"

"Aah, man,.. I'm sorry"

"Do you know him?" ask the general

"No, I don't know the guy but I kind of think there's something weird about this"

"Oh, man,.. I see, then I'll get you a drink for both of us" said the general, who left Samuel in the room

In the room Samuel thought hard because there was something strange with the report given by the general, where Rudi did not die with the army of the State but by Nicolaus, who was not dead, but in the morning Nikolaus did not say about the betrayal of the border soldiers instead joko said that the border soldiers were attacking the enemy

Even if the border forces were to revolt and it was known by Nikolaus, he was very sure that Rudi and the others would die and even Samuel would most likely be involved even though he was already in the cell

In the end, Samuel concluded that the joko he considered a trusted person was now a threat and put all suspicions on him

Where only Joko knows about Rudi's death but his friend does not, and the second looks very relaxed Nikolaus, as if he never killed people, as if, moreover, he knows best the nature of his big boss, which is where if he has killed then he will show off the victim's suit as a threat to other members

"Actually as smart as joko, to the point that everyone is tricked!!" samuel moved his teeth

Although already thinking hard but all the data that exist can not describe what joko planned even though he wanted to meet the son but it is not the key in his goal

When Samuel was thinking, suddenly a soldier came sneaking around saying, "Master Rian" whispered the soldier to Samuel's ear

"Who are you?" samuel asked, putting on a troubled face

"I'm not a bad person, but I came to give a message from someone"

After hearing the whisper that Samuel was thinking only his sister until he came out to meet the soldier who was still watching around and entered the room with Samuel

"What's wrong?" ask Samuel

"Look, Mr Rian, do you know the Son?" ask the soldier back

"Tomorrow he will come here to help us fight the black Rose organization together with his Allies"

"allied?"

"Yes, the Allies of the world"

"Ha!!!.." surprised Samuel with a slightly high tone

"Ssssttt.." The soldier whispered while putting his index finger to his lips.

"Sorry, but please explain what you mean"

"So this way, a few days ago I was with him accidentally met, and it was seen he wanted to go to the office of the assembled councils by asking for help from an outside country, he said, because he thinks it will be much easier to beat this organization if assisted by several large countries, therefore the son will send a message to you so you want to wait for his arrival in a few days" explained Dika

"Let me think for a moment" said Samuel, holding his chin

"Why an outsider, why don't Rian's only I'm sure he'll help, unless it's hurt him" mind Samuel while remembering the incident where the attack on the country of Mars that dropped thousands of victims from the Black Rose

But while Samuel was still thinking he finally remembered the leader Scarlett who is now branded as a traitor of the world, although there are several countries there but he is sure the Scarlett leader will not stay silent if the organization he created will be destroyed in vain

So there are two possibilities where killing Putra or cancelling the resolution to the invasion of the organization but if it is thought that canceling the resolution is very unlikely because if he triggers a counter opinion then the whole country will suspect him as a country who conspired with the rebellion

But if Putra is killed then the Scarlett state will give an argument that all the information is false because the person who reported did not come in his departure

After a moment of thought, Samuel finally opened his mouth and said, "Damn, the Son is in danger"

"What!!!" the soldier suddenly shocked

"Yes, if we do not deliver this message it is highly unlikely that the Son will still be alive until his arrival

"But how" confused Dika who helped think of how

But when Samuel and Dika thought suddenly the General came with two glasses of warm tea that wanted to be given to Samuel but before giving it suddenly he was surprised to see a soldier who entered the war room without his permission

The general furious said, "What do you mean come here without my permission!!!" the snaps from the General scared Dika

"Sorry General but I ing-" before his words were finished Samuel had cut off the conversation by saying, "Let him here, because he's almost done for us"

"What do you mean?" the distraught General who finally made Samuel tell him everything about what he heard from Dika starting from the Son who wanted to convey a message to the council to about the risks he would receive from the Scarlett leader

"Why is that kid so reckless!!" Said the general with emotion due to hearing the desperate schoolchildren enter into such a big affair

"I was shocked as well, but what I was thinking about right now was just how the boy could know that he was in danger right now" Samuel replied

"And you know after Pluto's country was destroyed, the entire council moved the boardroom in Scarlett's country so you could say that at this time the child is entering into the lion's cage itself" said the general

"Sial" saturates Samuel furiously

"So for now how should we, sir?" confused while still standing between them

"For now, we must focus more on the war first, because tomorrow is the determinant of our life and death" Samuel proposed

"What you say is true, so for now we focus first on the war"

After the day had shown at 2 pm, the General immediately ordered what was delivered by Samuel, he laid mines in the left wing and gathered all the troops in the field commanded by Samuel and the General

Until it was hit 5 pm the entire army had gathered into one in a neatly lined formation while holding weapons in each of its soldiers, not waiting long as soon as possible the general ordered the army into several groups, which was in accordance with what Samuel asked

Although Samuel was a stranger but for the General he was the key to victory in this war, and again after he saw there was no suspicious point behind Samuel's attitude that was always beside him

After all the assembly began the General said to them, "At this time, in the afternoon, we will all take down the enemy fortress army that is a threat to us, guided by this man we can definitely fight them!!" said the General while pointing at Samuel who was beside him

After hearing these words, all the soldiers were confused and exchanged glances with their colleagues, until one of them asked the General the question at that time he was in the front row so it was easy for him to communicate with his superiors

"General, before that I would like to ask you about the matter you said earlier, if we take down their stronghold it's the same we defeat them isn't that our problem, currently the existing army has not been able to penetrate it if we use a mechanic instead of in vain?" ask the soldier

"You're right, but there's one thing you need to know that right now we're not fighting a core army but an enemy front line, I've got information from Rian, I've got information from Rian, and tomorrow is our determination between death and life"

"So you mean, tomorrow we will fight the core troops as well as help from the enemy vanguard?"

"Yes, therefore our first step is to cripple the vanguard because if the enemy stronghold is chaotic, they will most likely panic from having no shelter"

"But general?" doubt the army

"You take it easy, I did not tell you about the mine but believe me we will win with the mine, because the trap was set in the route of reinforcements coming"

After the words of the general, all the soldiers were excited and cheered, saying, "We believe we will win" the army's cry made them want to win the war, because from the beginning they doubted the victory of this war but after hearing the guarantee of the general now they were excited and smiling satisfied that was seen on the cheeks of every soldier

With the group formed by the general they were asked to make a number on each shirt, and that number acts as a change of arms that will continue to pound enemy forces until their defense and stamina are exhausted due to constant attacks from the Martian army

Of the troops in the group were divided into 16 with 30 soldiers, but in the afternoon before they went to war they gathered in a meeting room to discuss the strategy of war, until that afternoon the meeting room was full of important people.
