The city of Meurak borders the western kingdom of Tandora.
A general of the Kingdom of Tandora spoke to the ruler of the partially destroyed border fortress city.
"Lord Meurak we have really been besieged by the rebellion that Lord Douglas has been defeated by Remaria troops who want to colonize the land of Tandora, he said, even the city of Bolvak has also been conquered and after this the Remaria troops will definitely attack the city of Lopak and our path to the capital Hokram will be completely cut off by them."
Lord Meurak then spoke in reply to General Gilmaur's report.
"General Gilmaur, this is Commander Gurnil's fault, it was your subordinates who let prince Antonio enter the territory of the kingdom of Tandora on the grounds of providing supplies and now behold the prince of Remaria instead began to take the land belonging to the kingdom of Tandora, and, that means you also have to take responsibility for clearing up this matter."
Lord Meurak said that and bestowed the problem of the occupation carried out by the kingdom of Remaria on Gilmaur The main general of the western division of the Tandora Kingdom Forces who now guard the border so as not to be entered by people or threats from other kingdoms that came from outside the western and northern borders of Tandora.
Of course General Gilmaur knew very well that he would not be enough to face the great army of Remaria who had taken control of the Silmarin region, so General Gilmaur spoke.
"Lord Meurak is impossible to do Remaria Force is too strong and if my forces are moved to Silmarin then no one will guard our border, remember there is a large expeditionary force that has long been prepared by the Kingdom of Arfen in the city of Hiran is likely to move soon to seize our territory."
The kingdom of Arfen did prepare a lot of troops in the city of Hiran which is located closest to the border region of Tandora, the nobles gathered strength even some mutual allies for the invasion plan to the land of Tandora, Tandora, although the Kingdom of Arfen itself has not officially announced it will invade the Kingdom of Tandora because the temple Sirak has not completely overthrown the government of the kingdom of Tandora, but too many nobles who have great power and influence cannot wait to seize a sweet cake called the land of Tandora.
Lord Meurak also knew that but he did not have enough power after his own army was destroyed along with his city during the invasion of the Hereven empire in the past.
"General Gilmaur we really can't do much my city's fortress has been destroyed and never repaired and it's only a matter of time until the Red Vivern Remaria Army or the upcoming Arfen Army takes over rather."
The Hiran city the Kingdom of Arfen.
The lord of the city of Hiran had no choice but to allow the nobles of the Arfen kingdom who came while carrying the expeditionary forces they had hired to take the territories of Tandora by force.
The border city became very crowded because Lord Wisel came from his territory, the Lord made several alliances with wealthy nobles to block the expedition funds and increase the number of mercenaries such as adventurers.
Adventurers can indeed join the war but the adventurer guild will not be responsible for each of them.
Not to forget the news seekers will also follow because even though the Expedition is quite risky but a fresh news that is in an uproar in the western continent makes them willing to risk everything to get a good picture.
Lord Hiran did not like what was going on right now in his city but he had no choice due to the location of his overly strategic town close to the Tandora region.
Lord Hiran did not deploy his troops to the Tandora region as most of his troops had fallen while fighting to save the population from the attacks of the imperial forces in the past, he also did not have enough funds for the cost of the expedition to Tandora anyway Lord Hiran will not feel comfortable when going to the land of Tandora and contrary to the Prince of Remaria who once saved his city.
Three News Seekers Nicole, Rayez and Elton are also not left behind to go to the land of Tandora with the Expeditionary Force, currently they look busy recording the preparations of everyone who is there.
"Nicole Nicole see if not that noble Lenin of our kingdom the great nobleman of the Palanka Kingdom can also participate in this expedition."
Elton calls his comrade Nicole because he realizes there is a group of people from the Palanka Kingdom also present in the expeditionary forces to the land of Tandora because this is Remaria where there is no way other royal forces can move with freer. Then Nicole spoke.
"Right it was Lenin's nobility but the entourage didn't look like official Soldiers look at them more like adventurers."
Nicole realized that the party brought by Lenin's nobility was a mercenary who did not wear the Palanka royal symbol, which means that Lenin's nobles participated in the Expedition did not officially represent the Palanka kingdom.
Rayez then spoke.
"Nicole may have Lenin's nobility do so in order to be allowed to participate in this expedition because the Kingdom of Arfen was unlikely to allow the Palanka Army to move in the Arfen region it would create tension."
"Yes, I think it was Rayez, but maybe he just came for personal gain or for a secret mission from King Hanan."
"Nicole had better follow Lenin's nobility when we went to the land of Tandora because I'm sure he would be more trustworthy to protect us because he came from the same kingdom."
"I agree with your proposal Rayez well then how about we meet him and ask his permission."
The three news seekers then walked up to the group from the Palanka kingdom there and saw some great adventurers who escorted the Lenin nobility directly against them.
"Would you like the news-seekers here, Lenin's nobility is busy right now so you'd better go."
One of the male witch adventurers immediately said it was to expel news seekers who looked like they were going to approach Lenin's nobility, so Nicole spoke.
"I'm sorry but we just want to ask permission to join Lenin's royals because we are from the same kingdom as him."
The adventurer looked at the three news seekers and spoke.
"So you are also from the Palanka kingdom, hm. I understand but it still seems that you can't just interfere with our journey."
Nicole did know going on an expedition that maybe the place they were going to was a battlefield and it was very risky but it was their job and Nicole would not give up here.
"But we have decided to leave and we thought that following the entourage of the Palanka kingdom would be better, after all, who can decide whether or not we can join, is not Mr. Lenin himself the leader of this expedition group."
Nicole said it irritated the adventurer a little and went back to talking quite loudly to Nicole.
"You guys are really annoying what the three of you don't know who I am, I am the Mithril level Witch adventurer Carcin of the famous Fire Shield team.!?"
Karsin said that with pride and Nicole certainly knew the Mithril Fire Shield level adventurer team that had triumphed a few years ago, then Nicole spoke.
"The Fire Shield adventurer team didn't the group disband after being abandoned by Priest Anastasia and their great Archer Shinia then you I don't know if you are really a member of the Fire Shield."
"Damn you news-seekers are very annoying, the Fire Shield team is not disbanding still there is me and Ardion, and you should leave now."
Carcin looks unable to hold his emotions even he was seen snapping for the three news seekers to leave and at that time an adventurer Karsin colleague approached because he heard a lot of commotion there.
"Carcin is what this is not often I remind you to always keep the attitude and not make trouble."
Ardion who had just come from the place where Lenin's nobles blamed Carcin because Carcin was often disrespectful to others.
Carcin then explains the situation to Ardion.
"It's not my fault that these three unselfish news seekers, they forced to meet Mr. Lenin so I told them to leave because Mr. Lenin must be busy."
Ardion was seen observing the three news seekers described by Karsin and talking to the three news seekers.
"That's how well you three forgive my partner's disrespectful attitude, he is indeed lacking in maintaining attitude but he is actually a good person."
Ardion instead apologized to the three news seekers that made Karsin a little irritated and spoke to Ardion.
"Ardion why you defended them, have I not done the right thing as the bodyguard of Lenin's nobility."
"You're right, but you have to keep the attitude so as not to embarrass the person we're guarding, remember the three of them are news seekers it would be bad for Mr. Lenin if the news seeker made bad news about Mr. Lenin because of you."
A smart enough Ardion realizes that the news finder has considerable influence and he doesn't want to have a problem with them.
Then Nicole heard Ardion speak.
"Mr Ardion you need not apologize for being wrong for forcing us to meet Lenin's nobility and if Mr. Lenin was busy we could wait until he was done."
Ardion felt like the three news seekers in front of him were really eager to meet Mr. Lenin until they were willing to wait so Ardion spoke.
"Huh well I understand that you will not go until you meet Mr. Lenin I will help you to meet him so wait a minute."
"Oh thank you very much Mr. Ardion."
Ardion then returned to the place of Lenin's nobility and spoke to him.
"Mr Lenin.."
"Sir Ardion is there a problem there.?"
The nobleman Lenin spoke while examining a file in his hand and Ardion answered it.
"No, Mr. Lenin, there are only three prospectors who want to see you, they say that they are from the news company of the capital Traimar and want to join our group to the land of Tandora."
"So that our capital broadcasting company is indeed quite large but have you said that the place we are going to is very dangerous."
"True Mr. Lenin but the three news seekers are determined to leave even if we do not accept it in our entourage."
Mr. Lenin thought that if he refused the requests of the news seekers, he would have problems especially with his political influence in the future if the big broadcasting companies contradict even to say bad things about him.
"Mr Ardion may be a news seeker who will slightly disrupt my plans and our movement in the land of Tandora, but we cannot stop those who will go to the land of Tandora with the noble group of the kingdom of Arfen."
"Once so shall we refuse those who volunteered to come with us."
The nobleman Lenin thought a little and then spoke.
"No because it would be better if they went along that way we would have an easier time watching them directly, but I have to talk to them first to make some deals so they don't interfere with the expedition we're doing."
"Well I understand Mr. Lenin there will be many news seekers from various kingdoms who come to the land of Tandora, with the news finder on our side I'm sure we can use that to argue or protect us from other news seekers who say things that hurt us."
"Mr Ardion is not wrong what the royal advisor said about you, you are indeed a smart enough person, we will make the news seekers give good news about us."
______________________________________
The next day everyone was ready to go to the land of Tandora after the entourage from the kingdom of Navia came to join.
There are so many people who move and the troops in Lord Wisel's possession are in the front because it has the most military power compared to other groups that only carry mercenaries.
The group is very large but there are also some people who actually move themselves to use the expedition to infiltrate the Tandora region.
They were spies or assassins from various kingdoms who wanted to find out more about the situation there, making the group even bigger because it can be said almost all races and kingdoms in the western continent are in it.
