GA: Glory Of The Kindom
125.3 Expeditions

Antonio's misty night approached the city surrounded by high fortresses and guarded by many soldiers.

Antonio chooses to infiltrate the town of Lambak at night because he thinks it will be easier to hide behind the shadows and darkness of the night.

Several soldiers were seen patrolling the fort and Antonio thought of how to get through all the guards undetected but it was not easy for Antonio because this kind of infiltration was best suited for the Assassins and Antonio doesn't have good hiding skills but Antonio has to keep trying his best.

Antonio slowly approached the fortress trying to stay under the shadow until he finally managed to get under the high wall.

Some of the soldiers at the top were seen keeping watch over the surrounding area from the top of the castle with torch lighting until finally it was seen there was a slight gap and Antonio directly activated the magic cloak and flew over the fort landing at the back the soldier who walked there.

"Who's there..?!?"

A soldier who sensed Antonio's presence immediately turned around and said it made his comrade immediately startled and went on standby, but when they turned around they saw nothing.

"Is there an intruder why are you moving so suddenly.?"

"Once but I feel like someone's presence behind us."

"That's true but there's no one behind us."

"That's true, but maybe I'm wrong."

"We'd better continue our patrol, I hope your guess is completely wrong."

"Yes, it would be a problem if any assassin infiltrated this town we'd better be more vigilant."

Soldiers on the fort looked back on their feet and thought their feelings were wrong.

Antonio was still hiding behind a wall sticking his body out of sight and thought thankfully that was almost there.

Antonio continued to move slowly and began to enter the area of the city of Lambak but he could not go to the city streets because it looks quite a lot of Soldiers and Cleric Shirk temple that secures the city area so Antonio moves on top of the buildings relied on the flying ability of his magic robe.

"Now that I should start my plan, it will be difficult for me to get enough people to lead the underground movement."

Antonio has no acquaintance in the town of Lambak and he has only been to the city once on his way to the capital Hokram.

"I think I should start from where I used to stay, Mr. Sebastian must have a little influence and acquaintance from the people of this city."

Sebastian is the innkeeper who helps Antonio hide Commander Kramel and Karisa in order to escape the hunt of the Tandora Army.

With little effort Antonio made it to the luxurious inn of master Sebastian and Antonio managed to infiltrate through the window.

"I hope those who work in this inn will not be surprised to see me."

Antonio walks in the hallway like a thief, he searches for Mr. Sebastian's room but thinks maybe Mr. Sebastian must still be asleep, even though it's very rude to visit at a time like this.

Antonio continued walking in the inn that felt very quiet and Antonio thought that almost no one had rented the inn because of the condition of the city of Looak in a state of war emergency.

A light from the lantern that someone was carrying was seen at the end of the hallway and Antonio tried not to surprise him but Antonio thought how.

Antonio approached calmly the man carrying the lantern that was seen from a distance like a servant because it was visible from the maid clothes he was wearing.

"Eh.. Who's there..?"

The waiter noticed that Antonio was approaching because Antonio's footsteps sounded quite clear in the hallway, which was so quiet, but the waiter did not look panicked after looking at the figure of the man approaching from the end of the hall quietly, perhaps it was because Antonio seemed to show no hostility at all and instead let the servant see his figure more clearly.

"Who are you, you're not a visitor to this inn."

The waiter asked as he pointed his lantern forward in order to see the mysterious figure of the man in front of him and Antonio then replied calmly.

"I'm sorry that I visited at a time like this, I was the prince Antonio had stayed here before."

"Prince Antonio is really you the hero of the western continent of the kingdom of Remaria but how can you be in this place.?"

The servant still looked less certain as it was almost impossible for a prince to suddenly appear at the inn where he worked, moreover, the entire city of Lambak has been controlled by the Sirak temple which hates Prince Antonio.

"That's hard to explain but I have a little business with Mr. Sebastian I need his help to free the city from the Shirk temple so I come here."

The servant listened to the explanation of Prince Antonio and began to think that maybe he was really the prince of Remaria because indeed the servant had seen the prince Antonio who had stopped at this inn, but he was just a little hesitant and wanted to confirm it first.

"Your majesty forgive me for not paying respect in advance then whether I should call Mr. Sebastian now."

The waiter bowed his head and asked that but Antonio thought it was too late, mister Sebastian would still want to rest at the moment, moreover, it would be difficult to negotiate something very important in this kind of situation.

"There's no need I can wait for Mr. Sebastian until tomorrow morning let him rest first, I also have to rest for tonight so whether you can show me one empty room for me."

The servant looked down and spoke even though Prince Antonio stayed over unofficially but a prince should always be served as best as possible.

"Well your majesty I understand, there are many empty rooms in this inn so please follow the servant will prepare the best room for his Highness Prince Antonio."

The servant then took Prince Antonio to an empty room and Antonio immediately lay down to rest there.

"Your majesty, if you need anything, call me servant."

"Thank you right now I don't need anything so you can rest."

The waiter bowed his head before leaving the room and after closing the door he sighed.

"Huh.why can there be a super important guest at a time like this and I don't understand it at all, but there seems to be something so important that Prince Antonio must endanger himself by infiltrating this city, I must tell the others to prepare everything tomorrow."

The servant thought this was probably because of the large number of enemy troops that controlled the city until the prince had to infiltrate the inn at night.

______________________________________

In the morning Mr. Sebastian woke up and washed his face that looked so lethargic because he thought for some time he could keep his business in the city of Lambak.

Over the past few years a lot of things have happened until his business will soon be destroyed, there were no visitors to his eater because of the state of war and Mr. Sebastian was still holding out all this time because he believed things would soon return to their original state but until now it had not happened.

"I don't know any more that the food supply is running out and most of my property has been taken away by the invading forces and taken control of this city, my employees somehow I can support them."

Mr. Sebastian slightly complained of lamenting his fate but he had to remain firm and confident in front of his employees, Sebastian the man who was quite old with a black mustache opened the door to exit the room.

"Mr Sebastian good morning."

Mr. Sebastian opened the door to his room but he was quite astonished by the large number of his employees who greeted him in front of the door, so Mr. Sebastian spoke to them.

"What is this why you gathered in front of my room.?"

Mr. Sebastian asked and a staff member then spoke.

"Mr Sebastian last night there was an important guest coming to see you, now he's waiting in the dining room."

Sebastian thinks the guest is special but it's very unlikely that any significant person will come and stay here because the whole town of Lambak is closed for all visitors, so Mr. Sebastian asks.

"Special guest whether it's one of the nobles of this city, or the jerks from the Shirk temple, have you all hidden your comrades from the Beastmen race."

Mr Sebastian said that because it was the only possibility that an important guest would meet him at this point.

"Mr Sebastian is not a noble of the city of Lambak or a man of the Sirak temple troops who came but his highness Prince Antonio of the kingdom of Remaria who came to negotiate with you."

Mr. Sebastian could not hide his surprised expression how a prince who hated Sirak temple could be in a city that had been controlled and became the headquarters of Sirak temple.

"Prince Antonio has come to see if all of you are not mistaken, how did he get to this place."

"Mr Sebastian but we have confirmed that he is the same person as Prince Antonio who has come before."

"Right but how is it possible."

"Right Mr. Sebastian seemed to have last night that his highness Prince Antonio sneaked alone into this town specifically to see you."

Sebastian was very enthusiastic and thought about why such an intelligent prince would do so even without any escort at all because it was such a risky act.

Mr. Sebastian did not want to delay again he immediately tidied up his clothes and rushed to meet Prince Antonio who was willing to hit danger just to meet him.

Mr. Sebastian immediately opened the dining room door and there was a man who was none other than Prince Antonio himself who had been waiting for him with many dishes that had been served on the table.

"Sir Sebastian you're awake, sorry I came suddenly to your place."

Lord Sebastian thought this was indeed very sudden and very surprising, a prince came to meet a lowly person like himself.

Mr. Sebastian immediately stepped closer and bowed his head to greet his guest, and prince Antonio calmly spoke.

"Mr Sebastian sit down I want to talk to you about something very important."

Mr. Sebastian then sat opposite Prince Antonio who had invited him and he began to ask.

"Your Highness Prince Antonio's servant thanked and felt very honored that his majesty personally came to visit his servant."

"Mr Sebastian you don't have to be sad because actually I came because I wanted to ask you for help."

"The noble one needs the help of the servant, the servant will feel even more honored to be able to fight for the noble but what kind of help can a lowly person like a servant do."

Antonio smiled with humility Mr. Sebastian and began to speak.

"Mr Sebastian I am making a plan so that the city of Lambak can be freed from the temple of Sirak and you are the only one I can count on, yeah I'm gonna trouble you a little bit more when I promised I'd help you."

Sebastian has indeed worked with Prince Antonio because Mr. Sebastian has a fondness for the same Beastmen race as Prince Antonio.

"Surely it doesn't matter no more when you used to tell the servant to divulge information about you that helped free Commander Kramel and Commander Karisa to Lord Lambak and the Shrine of Sirak, making the Shrine of the Sirak did not bother the servant too much and allowed the Beastmen workers that the servant had."

It is true that Mr. Sebastian was once credited for Sirak temple which handed over information about prince Antonio to Sirak temple making Mr. Sebastian have a little freedom at this time in the city of Lambak.

"I don't think it's good and your job now will be a little harder."

Mr. Sebastian was still watching and Antonio stood up and headed for the window staring at the town of Lambak outside the inn as he continued speaking.

"Lord Sebastian you must go to meet some nobles who are quite trustworthy in this city and gather strength from the residents and the Lambak Army who previously surrendered to the Syrac temple to form a new power attack the Sirak temple from behind the fort and secure the entire population of the city of Lambak from hostage."

Mr. Sebastian is very doubtful that he can do such a great thing, indeed Mr. Sebastian has many trustworthy noble connections and they can gather such power.

"Your highness Prince Antonio whether a servant is capable of such a great task a servant is only a small man the owner of an inn not a politician who can convince the nobles of this city."

"Mr Sebastian doesn't care about anyone and anyone can do great things if you have strong faith and you're Mr. Sebastian you have the confidence and ability to do all that so be assured."

Mr. Sebastian seemed to think about it and started talking.

"But your Majesty even if we manage to gather all that power we still cannot possibly defeat the Temple of Sirak and the army led by General Cristian who already controls this city."

Antonio smiled and spoke.

"Mr Sebastian the task of the Army we formed is only to protect the inhabitants of the city of Lambak held hostage by the temple of Sirak, to defeat the Paladin troops My troops who will do it they are all prepared in the city of Silmarin."

Mr. Sebastian thought about it, indeed it might be done if the Sirak temple fought with the Remaria Army who came to invade, The troops of the city of Lambak formed by prince Antonio inside the city would fight to protect the residents while attacking the Paladin troops from behind the fortress, it would probably work or perhaps it was the most perfect plan under these conditions, the Shiraq temple could not survive the siege and attack from behind their backs.

Mr. Sebastian can be seen smiling he really hates the Sirak temple which has been persecuting the Beastmen race in the city of Lambak, so Mr. Sebastian does not need to think about it anymore he immediately agreed with the great plan that was put together by Prince Antonio.

"Her Majesty Prince Antonio's servant will exert all that the servant has to do that duty."

Antonio smiled as he now stayed to prepare the troops inside the city of Lambak and waited for the most appropriate time to deploy them.
