GA: Glory Of The Kindom
121.1 Petals And Bolvak

The town of Bolvak is the southernmost town on the Tandora plain, although the Bolvak region is quite close to the Arka desert region but thanks to the hills south of the city it prevents sand carried by the wind does not reach the Bolvak region and makes the place the only place of agriculture the southern part of the kingdom of Tandora.

Commander Kramel stood on top of his hometown's fortress staring away at the green meadow with a feeling of worry.

As a soldier Commander Kramel used to advance deep into the battlefield but now that war will be right in his yard threatening everyone he loves.

The great army of Lambak from the neighboring region along with the temple of darkness Sirak was right in sight and they prepared to attack the seizing peace of the city of Bolvak.

The fate of the inhabitants of the city of Bolvak will be at stake in this war.

"Commander Kramel..?"

One who came to distract Commander Kramel, it was the voice of commander Karisa who came with the higher-ups of the Soldiers who would help in defending the city of Bolvak.

"Commander Karisa, Commander Fenia, Commander Diego, look at the enemy's forces have already begun to move."

"Their number, it seems like Lord Lopak really wants this city very much."

Commander Karisa responds to Commander Kramel who then speaks.

"the 60,000 Petak Army likely used a wing strategy divided into three units."

Commander Kramel knew enough about the war formations and then Commander Diego spoke.

"It's going to be a long day not only the larger number of their Soldiers but also the magic support of the Paladins of the Sirak temple, we're really unlucky."

Commander Diego from the Silmarin area said that and then Commander Fenia ventured to speak because he saw the pessimistic faces of the other commanders there.

"I think we still have a chance to win because the number of our troops is also large."

"Commander Fenia I am the former commander of the army that will attack us and I know very well how strong the Lambak Army is, when compared to the troops in this fortress.."

Commander Karisa said that after seeing and comparing the Bolvak troops in the fort with the Lopak troops he had trained first, he said, Lambak troops are trained troops while the Bolvak Forces are militia troops that are taken from the city population their fighting ability is very far away.

"Commander Karisa but we still have 20,000 Silmarin troops who help us and 10,000 Red Vivern troops who will me and commander Ramdira Ramez led His Highness Prince Antonio must also have thought of something so we can definitely face them."

They did know Prince Antonio was indeed very good at war strategy but this was still too difficult when facing the large army of Lambak supported by the Paladin Army of Sirak temple.

"Oh yes Commander Fenia where is your highness Prince Antonio I haven't seen him since last night.?"

"Huh Your Highness Prince I don't really know but last night Miss Crismelda asked her to come to her room at the inn and Antonio hasn't been out of there."

"Your majesty, it's true that Prince Antonio is also a man so I think it's quite natural that his Majesty does that with his loved ones before going to war."

Commander Kramel said that because he did not know how the relationship between Miss Crismelda and Prince Antonio and Commander Fenia actually did not know about the big secret between them.

"Komandan Kramel you don't know how noble Prince Antonio is towards women, even though Antonio is already engaged to Miss Marta and also has many other lovers but he still plays with Miss Crismelda."

"Hm.so it turns out that the rumors about his highness Prince Antonio who likes to collect women turned out to be true."

"Huh Miss Crismelda is indeed very beautiful, no wonder that her highness Prince Antonio is interested in her, but somehow Miss Marta seems not to care about it much anymore lately."

Commander Kramel and Commander Fenia instead talk about Antonio's personal matters, so Commander Karisa and Commander Diego talk.

"Wait a minute, won't we go to war soon why we're even talking about it should we think of a strategy to hold off the enemy forces."

"It's best that we immediately prepare our own troops."

"I'm sorry, I must also immediately join the Red Vivern army, commander Ramdira must have been waiting for me."

"Wait for Commander Fenia, Commander Diego..?"

Commander Kramel immediately called out to the two commanders who turned around and were about to leave for their respective troops.

"What is Commander Kramel.?"

"No, I just want to say a big thank you for being here and helping us."

Commander Kramel bowed his head and thanked the two foreign commanders.

"Your Kramel commander doesn't have to be that way anyway I'm just accompanying his highness Prince Antonio here."

"Truely I'm Diego and the Silmarin Army are also here thanks to his highness Prince Antonio so don't thank me."

"But still you will also fight for the city of Bolvak so I must also thank you."

Commander Kramel still thanked Commander Fenia and Commander Diego before the two Commanders walked away from the top of the fort and they thought Kramel was indeed a good commander.

>>>>>

"......"

Antonio just got out of the place where Miss Crismelda was staying and thought Miss Crismelda really had gone crazy at a time like this could-can still force me to accompany him to play.

"Huh.I really can't stand why I got stuck in a scheme that I've created myself."

Antonio regretted a little when he decided to pretend to be a person who has a strange fondness like Miss Crismelda, even though it was all just acting so that the evil woman was trapped.

That crazy woman huh.why did she become so passionate and crazy about me when I was only a few days away.

"When war is going to happen and I haven't even had a chance to sleep I'm not so sure whether the simple strategy I'm putting together will succeed in the war, I'm really running out of time."

On his way to the eastern fortress of Bolvak, Antonio saw Marta who was seen helping the residents who were away from the city area near the eastern fort so Antonio immediately greeted her.

"Marta how they are doing."

"Oh Antonio they looked worried so I helped the women and children to evacuate into the castle of the city, Lord Bolvak has also allowed it."

Antonio could understand that the population near the fort could be accidentally attacked in an imminent war, so the decision to evacuate the population here was indeed very appropriate.

"That's great this way we can anticipate a bit of casualties from the townspeople."

"Right but where have you been everyone's looking for you everywhere.?"

Marta and Lord Bolvak did not know when Miss Crismelda invited Antonio to her room.

"Ah I just met Miss Crismelda."

"Hehh...?"

"Why..?"

"Antonio you're not really tempted by it, are you.?"

"You know what I told you about a crazy woman's favorite, not where I might be interested in her."

"Yes but the possibility that you will be captivated by it is still there and after all whether you really have to do all that."

Marta still questions little about Antonio's plans against Miss Crismelda.

"Marta all this is very important, besides being a member of the Circle Crow Crismelda is also a noble and has considerable influence in the kingdom of Remaria if it is allowed to be very dangerous in the future."

No matter how many people Miss Crismelda has trapped, all her political competitors must have been destroyed by that mad woman with the support of the Circle Crow, I can't possibly let that go on.

"Huh even though I don't like this way of yours but it's important I already know that you're really not interested in him."

"Hahaha although several times I was almost tempted by Miss Crismelda but fortunately I can still hold back."

"Hm...!?"

Marta looked back at Antonio with a horrible smile after Antonio said that.

"Marta told me you don't worry, everything I do is just acting, you really understand, don't you.?"

"Well just acting so don't get carried away by your acting..?"

"Marta..?"

"Well, we still have a lot of work here."

Marta finally let it go for now even though she still felt that Antonio was taking advantage of the situation to have fun with Miss Crismelda.

Antonio finally climbed to the top of the southern fortress and saw Kramel's commander and Karisa Commander there.

"Commander Kramel commander Karisa how is the situation.?"

"Your Majesty Prince Antonio you can see for yourself they have already started setting up their formation in front."

"So soon all this will begin."

Commander Kramel and Commander Karisa look at Antonio who says it calmly and thinks the war will start soon and clearly looks superior to the enemy but why his Highness Prince Antonio can still be this calm.

"Your Highness Prince Antonio seems like you're not so worried about whether you're sure we can face them."

Commander Karisa asked curiously and Antonio then spoke.

"No, you're wrong, I'm really worried because we can't possibly hold off all that army with this little fortress."

"What then can we save the city of Bolvak if even you say that and how can you still be this calm.?"

Commander Kramel seemed unable to hold back his emotions and immediately said so.

"Then I have to how, I was considered by everyone and the Soldiers in this city as the determinant of our victory so whether I should panic, at a time like this we have to calm down and find the best solution."

They all wished for more than his Highness Prince Antonio and indeed if Prince Antonio showed the opposite attitude then it would also affect all the soldiers who fought in this place.

"Then what are you going to do now, his Highness Prince Antonio.?"

Antonio seemed to be considering something and looked deep at the formation of the Bolvak Forces that would attack while thinking 'this fortress will not be able to survive and the enemy will soon invade the city' and then Antonio stared at the Bolvak area and imagined that the enemy troops that were breaking into the battle inside the city would happen, the militia forces belonging to Commander Kramel who survive on this fortress will be surrounded from behind.

"Oh of course we can't win in this fortress so..?"

Antonio said that and Commander Kramel grew worried when he heard that.

"Your highness..?

"Our Kramel commander will not defend this fortress, because that's a useless thing."

"Your Highness Prince Antonio how can you say that this fortress is our last hope to hold off the enemy forces.?"

"No-no Commander Kramel we still have a chance indeed but not here but there."

"What..?"

Antonio pointed towards the town of Bolvak behind the fort and the two Commanders were quite surprised because if the war in the city then the possibility of casualties from the civilian population will fall.

"Your majesty do you mean to sacrifice this city, how could we possibly accept it."

"Komandan Kramel I have said it is useless to defend this fort so it is better to use this fort as a diversion and we will capture the enemy troops by utilizing the eastern part of the city of Bolvak, we're going to draw a defensive line between the city buildings so take all your troops there, Marta has evacuated all the residents of that place."

"It's.."

"Commander Kramel, what his highness Prince Antonio said is very true, it is useless that this fortress will not be able to hold the Bolvak Army to invade the city territory so we must prevent the Army from invading more than inside because if they manage to reach the castle the city will all be over."

"But all the buildings of the city."

Commander Kramel knew that the loss would be considerable, all the buildings of the city were valuable assets and if all of them were looted and destroyed then.

"Commander Kramel no war without sacrifice, It is better to sacrifice a little than to lose everything, after all I doubt whether the enemy Army will be able to destroy all those buildings easily even though our troops are using them to support the ambush formation."

Commander Kramel is a little difficult to accept that but what Prince Antonio said is very reasonable city buildings will not be easy to destroy and enemy formations will not be useful in the city in the city add if the castle of the city is really taken over free of charge his troops remain in this fortress.

"Your highness Prince Antonio's servant already understood so what we should do to conduct warfare within the city."

"Good then listen to my plan carefully."

Just wait for the time until the Petak Army and Paladin Sirak temple to make an attack and Bolvak troops are seen immediately rush to make an ambush formation inside the city area.

There were indeed many questions from the soldiers who had survived as to why they had built a defensive formation so deep within the city and left the fort unguarded, unguarded, but all the soldiers kept the order after learning that it was part of the strategy put together by Prince Antonio, the hero who became their last hope.
