GA: Glory Of The Kindom
126.2 People of Tandora

The Shrine of Sirak brought some of the inhabitants of the town of Lopak to the top of the fortress to be used as hostages and everyone from the expedition group who saw them became very angry and anxious, the innocent inhabitants have been used by the Shirk temple as living shields.

"Lenin's nobility, look at the fort, innocent people, even children, even though they were tied up and hung on the walls of the fort, sirak Temple is really very barbaric if we attack the fortress it is likely that all the residents who are in hostages will also be hit by arrows."

News seekers continue to record the unfortunate people being held hostage and tied up with rope hanging from the top of the fort showing how the Sirak temple treats the innocent population.

"It's so cruel that innocent people are so pathetic."

"The Cleric Shrine of the Sirak is really very barbaric look how sad they are."

"This cannot be forgiven Cleric Syrak temple is indeed fit to be sentenced to death."

"We can't do anything right now if we attack them then it's likely that all those people will also be victims."

"Yes, but if this continues we will not be able to advance and the hostages up there will remain in that state."

"It is likely that there are still many hostages in the Sirak temple behind the fortress wall in front of us and if the battle to happen surely the Sirak temple will kill them all if we attack."

That's how everyone from the expeditionary troupe felt the same as when the Red Vivern Remaria troops also first came and witnessed similar conditions that made the Red Vivern Army must be pulled back to make a better strategy to reduce the casualties of the city residents being held hostage.

The troops of General Mariana were seen approaching the expeditionary group that set up camp some distance from the fortress of the city of Lambak, The general of the Arfen kingdom was confused why the expedition party even set up camp here because the Wisel Army and mercenaries consisting of adventurers attacked the city of Lambak.

General Mariana walked over and looked for Lord Wisel but she did not find him and only the Noble Lenin was seen approaching where General Mariana asked.

"Lenin's noblemen where Lord Wisel and why this group even set up camp here should the Wisel troops attack the city of Lambak and take over it."

The noble Lenin with a regretful face spoke to General Mariana.

"General Mariana forgive us but Lord Wisel has fallen."

General Mariana looked at the Noble Lenin with a surprised face and spoke.

"Lenin's nobleman how could Lord Wisel be killed while all his troops still look intact."

"General Mariana this is a mistake, when we were all close enough to the fortress of Lambak the enemy threw a magic from the top of the fortress and Lord Wisel who was in front was hit by the attack to death."

"The enemy side has witches on their side, isn't the one guarding over the fortress of Lambak just an ordinary Warrior."

"No General it seems some of them are Paladins from Sirak's dark temple, Lord Lambak seems to have been dropped by Silmarin's forces and Sirak's temple can be seen from the two flags that fluttered over the fortress."

General Mariana looked deep into the fortress of the city of Lambak and noticed two flags fluttering over it although it was not very clear but indeed the colors and symbols on both flags belonged to Silmarin and the temple Sirak became General Mariana who was still full of questions to talk to the Nobles of Lenin.

"Lenin sir, I understand that all of you troops here must feel that the enemy force is too great and decide to wait for the troops that I bring, he said, but what I want to know is that Remaria's side is also on top of that fortress because of the report I received that the Silmarin Kingdom has fallen and is under Remaria's rule."

General Mariana asked about it because if the city of Lambak was already under the rule of Silmarin means the possibility of the Remaria side is also there but this is also very strange because the enemy of the kingdom of Remaria is a temple Sirak is also located on top of the fortress of Lambak.

"No General you haven't seen any sign of the Remaria Army's appearance."

General Mariana looked at the Noble Lenin who said that, so he thought that even though the Remaria Army had taken control of the cities of Silmarin and Bolvak, he was thinking, Red Vivern troops have not yet attacked the city of Lambak which is still controlled by the Sirak temple.

"Lenin sir I understand the situation here My great army which together with the Paladin Army of the Glarian, Ayarama and Doronta temples will definitely be able to conquer the Paladin Army of the Sirak temple so retreat now is our part."

General Mariana said it was because he felt confident enough with the strength of the troops he brought and it was likely that the troops of General Mariana could do it but Nobles Lenin thought otherwise because he felt that General Mariana it still did not understand the situation so the Noble Lenin spoke.

"The general thought it would also be difficult because the Paladin Army of Sirak temple captured many inhabitants of the city of Lambak and made them Hostages, take a good look at the fort once again the captives have been hanged over the fortress of Lambak since a few days ago."

"What..!!"

General Mariana looked very surprised to hear it and immediately rushed forward to see the Lopak Fortress more clearly and indeed as the noble Lenin made General Mariana look a little shocked and angry at what Sirak temple had done before his eyes.

"General Mariana because of the captives we have not been here to attack the city of Lambak and now all decisions are in your hands because you are the great general of the kingdom of Arfen."

General Mariana held tightly to her command level and she had to think of a way to save everyone in captivity and take over the city of Lambak, but one she could do in this kind of situation.

______________________________________

Since the plan that Antonio made began to run, the, the large inn belonging to Mr. Sebastian has indeed been made a command headquarters for the Lambak underground Army where arrangements and strategies are made and distributed to troops scattered elsewhere.

"Mr Sebastian and the royals are back at your posts because we're going to start moving now."

Antonio spoke to all the nobles and military officials of the city of Lambak guards to immediately secure the population and fight to defend it from the Syrac temple, and Lord Sebastian the innkeeper spoke.

"Your Highness Prince Antonio has your troops moved."

"True Mr. Sebastian my Red Vivern Army will start a hostage rescue operation on the fort and our troops will do it in the inner city area, while the demi-human forces led by Commander Fenia will attack the troops of the Sirak temple Paladin who were distracted by the newly arrived Arfen kingdom troops."

Antonio said that and a noble of the city of Lambak spoke.

"Arfen Kingdom troops so they also came, too, that means we will most likely win but does it not matter to his highness Prince Antonio because it is likely that the Arfens Royal Army will force you to hand over this city to them."

Antonio calmly spoke.

"To ask this city from me do you think that the Arfens Kingdom Army can do it to me."

The nobles seem to think but it is true when viewed from their status and services, prince Antoniolah who is more entitled to control the city of Lopak because he is a prince in addition to all the people of Lopak will accept it well because the prince Antoniolah who has fought to save the city residents from hostage.is not the party of the Royal Arfen Army that can only be a bait to distract, but the Kingdom of Remaria and the prince Antoniolah who will eventually get the city of Lambak.

General Mariana was still thinking of ways to be able to seize the fortress and the city of Lambak but it was impossible for him to be able to save the people who were in hostage and from all this meant that there were only two options retreat and let the city of Lambak remain in control of the Sirak temple or go forward to attack even though it must sacrifice the people who are in hostage.

The second choice was heavy and painful but the General of the Arfen kingdom could not have retreated without completing his mission in taking over the city of Lambak, moreover, the nobles of the Arfen kingdom also continued to urge him because they did not want to be harmed after coming all the way to this place.

"Lenin's nobility seems like we have no choice but to rescue the hostages in the city, we must still go on the offensive even if we have to sacrifice them all."

The nobleman Lenin seemed to dislike what General Mariana had just said.

"Sacrificing innocent people to capture a city is not this very good, our actions will be much worse than what the Remaria Forces did in the cities of Silmarin and Bolvak."

The nobleman Lenin said that but General Mariana seemed unwilling to change his decision, he had to seize the city of Lambak which had once been part of the kingdom of Arfen and the insistence of the royal nobles of Arfen here also continued to force him to attack so General Mariana spoke.

"Lenin's nobility is a war in which the victims cannot be avoided, and the fate of the hostages will remain the same as it is today even if we do not carry out this attack, we cannot be blamed for failing to save them because it was Sirak temple who did cruel things to the inhabitants of the city of Lambak."

The nobility of Lenin did understand that but his heart was still difficult to accept it because the death of the hostage was likely to be avoided if the large army brought by General Mariana undoed his intention to attack and retreat from this region.

"So but General Mariana I'm a noble Lenin of the Palanka kingdom does not want to engage in the attack you will do because I do not want to tarnish the trust of the Hanan king who sent me to the land of Tandora."

"Lenin's nobility I understand and that means you won't have the right to get a share of the city and the result of taking the city and the Lopak region after all this is over."

The nobleman Lenin only took a breath and then nodded as he had already decided on his attitude even though he would gain nothing after coming this far with his mercenary forces, and General Mariana stood up and spoke before leaving the Lenin nobility there.

"Lenin's nobility well then I'm sorry I have to immediately prepare my troops to make a full assault."

General Mariana left the tent and the next day the Arfens and Paladins of three different temples marched towards the fortress of Lambak.

The nobility of Lenin and his mercenary forces did not come forward to assist in the capture of the city of Lambak, he just stood looking from a distance with the other party who also did not come forward because their purpose here was not to fight.

News-seekers including Elton, Rayez and Nicole continued to record the wars that would take place today from the place where Lenin's nobility and his army were escorting them.

Elsewhere further from the town of Lambak the Remaria Army had also prepared for deployment.

"Commander Darius The great army of the Arcan kingdom has moved in a moment they will attack."

A Remaria spy soldier gave a report to the commander of the Red Vivern Air Force.

"Alright I have also obtained orders from his Highness Prince Antonio we will move when the kingdom of Arfen attacks, he said, remember the timeliness of our hostage release operation is very important because it affects the large number of residents we can save on the temporary fort, Prince Antonio will take care of the rescue of the population in the city area."

Rescue operations began and the commander of the Fenia and Beastmen Army will be used as a secret force to defeat the Shiraq temple which also always has a small trick under the arm of their robes.
