GA: Glory Of The Kindom
126.3 People of Tandora

Fall and glory can be obtained in the war that is believed almost everyone until they are willing to fight to risk themselves.

General Mariana stood staring at the fortress of the city of Lambak with great pain because there would be many innocent people who would be victims of the attack he led.

The general and his army were still advancing when the Sirak temple on top of the noble fortress killed several civilians who were in hostages making all the soldiers feel anger and horror mixed with feelings of guilt, but General Mariana kept bringing them all in to keep moving and General Mariana shouted to confirm his orders.

"Soldiers hold your heart we cannot save those people but we can save more people who are in the city from their bad luck, attack destroy the temple of Sirak because this is the right thing to do."

There is no mercy in the war that there is only killing or being killed for the sake of getting victory, the victor will seize everything land, treasure and even honor while for the loser can only surrender to mourn his fate.

Above the fortress of Bishop Karam and General Cristian saw that the hostages they killed on the fort were still unable to stop the army from the kingdom of Arfen to retreat.

"Bishop how now that the Royal Arfen Army together with three armies from three different temples are still attacking our chance of survival is very small."

General Cristian said that because he saw a plan to use Sandra so that the Arfens did not attack turned out to be a failure which meant they had to do direct combat.

"General Cristian still carried out the plan to kill the hostages that would make the kingdom of Arfen and the Paladin Army of the three heretical temples would look as if it did not care about the lives of the people of Tandora."

"Yes my servant understands the noble bishop but the problem is how to deal with the enemy army that has enormous power."

"General Cristian we will face them anyway we have the advantage of the great fortress of the city of Lambak and if we are increasingly desperate we can retreat using dimensional space magic, we'll still make a little profit even if we lose the town of Labak."

General Cristian smiled at this because he knew he could still survive this war because the Shirk temple could take him away with magic.

"Bishop I understand my army will reduce as much as possible the Royal Arfens before they can capture this city and territory."

"It's good that since the Arfen Kingdom Army can also be a threat to us in the future, reducing their numbers here will make it easier for us later."

General Cristian returned to his army and gave orders.

"Soldiers prepare attack arrows The enemy forces are approaching the fortress."

"By the temple of Darkness Sirak prepare a magic attack destroy our enemies."

"Art..!!"

It did not take long until the battle finally broke out the troops who were defending above the fortress of the city of Lambak immediately carried out an attack with arrows and magic against the ranks of the army of General Mariana who came storming.

"Thanks to your shield we should be able to reach the gate and break it.!!"

"Priest of Glaria temple recapitulate anti arrow protective magic, Cleric of Ayarama temple provide magic attack support to the enemy fortress and Paladin of Doronta Temple we must destroy that gate with earth magic that you have."

The troops belonging to General Mariana moved slowly while relying on the protective magic created by the Priests of the Glaria temple but even though the magic was quite effective in protecting from arrows shot by the troops General Cristian but that was not enough to stop the long-range magic attacks such as the Dark Javelin and Cursed Thunder that the Cleric controlled the Dark Shirk temple.

Many victims fell when every magic used by the Syrak temple hit the crowd of troops led by General Mariana.

"General Mariana we get pretty much the loss of a magic attack from the side of the Syracuse temple eroding our strength little by little."

"Captain Paladin of Doronta Temple I know that so we must reach that gate immediately so that we can storm into the fortress and do a direct battle."

"But our troops..?"

"Captain look at the people hanging on top of the fort if you don't want to save them we should hurry up to make fewer casualties among the civilians taken hostage."

"Well I understand, paladin Doronta we have to move faster."

Although Mariana said that there were so many arrows and magic attacks from the troops led by General Mariana about the residents who were tied up and used as living shields on the fortress by sirak Temple.

"Kharkk..!!"

Suddenly a long trumpet rang out and immediately thousands of Red Vivern troops flew closer to the fortress of Lopak city very quickly, making everyone who was doing battle quite surprised by that sudden attack.

"That's Red Vivern Remaria's army."

"Remaria..?!"

"The Remaria air force is approaching quickly, we must defend the Cleric of the Shirk temple use magic you attack the target of the Remaria Force."

"Prepare the spear defend this fort."

General Cristian's troops immediately prepared because they did not expect that the Red Vivern Remaria Army that could carry out a direct attack on the fortress would carry out an attack as well, though they were all busy and focused on facing the army of the Arfen kingdom.

General Mariana was also surprised that she did not know what happened to why the Remaria Army attacked at a time like this.

"Paladin the temple of Doronta what do you do quickly use your magic destroy the city gates before we are too late, he said, the Priests and archers attacked the Sirak Temple Army over the fort as they were distracted by Remaria air strikes."

"Ready General Mariana..!"

General Mariana was completely confused by this situation and thought the possibility of the new Remaria Army attacking after himself and the Arfens did it first, Remaria troops will not tarnish their royal names because the victims who were held hostage were killed by the Sirak temple because of the attack carried out by the Arfen royal forces who did it first.

"Hurry and destroy that fucking gate.!?"

Then shortly a Paladin from the temple of Doronta who was in charge of destroying the city gate was seen rushing to the place where General Mariana.

"The General's report was something strange, from behind the gate we heard like there was a battle but we were very clueless because the Remaria Army that came should still not be able to get there."

"What who fought there, it's so strange that the Red Vivern Army should still be on top of the fortress."

"General Mariana saw that some of the Red Army rescued the hostages that were hanged from the top of the fortress, and they also saved the inhabitants of the fort while continuing to fight the enemy forces."

"General Mariana then what are your orders."

"Captain Paladin is too late to return you must immediately break the gate so that we can take over the city of Labak before Remaria does it first."

General Mariana said that he did not care anymore about the Remaria Forces who did battle to save the population because his task was to take over the city of Lambak for the kingdom of Arfen.

On top of the fortress General Cristian also had difficulty in having to face the attack of the Red Vivern forces are famous for being very tough while preventing and holding the Arfen royal troops who are with three large temples.

"The Shirk continues to hold, my army forms a line lest Red Vivern's forces advance any further."

"General Cristian of Red Vivern's army looks busy saving our hostages lucky some of them immediately go flying away into the city area carrying the residents."

General Cristian knew it was good enough that the Red Vivern Army was busy saving the inhabitants of the Remaria attack would not have much effect on the fortress.

General Cristian was still a little anxious but he did not understand why the Remaria Air Force took the hostage survivors to the rear of the fortress where the city should have been an enemy base for them but a soldier suddenly came and gave a report.

"General Cristian, there are a lot of troops attacking us from behind the fort."

"What but the Arfens still have not managed to break down the fort, whether it is Red Vivern Remaria troops then what about the Bishop of Karam."

"We don't know the General but it looks like the troops who attacked from inside the city are the troops of the town of Lambak, the city guards who previously surrendered to us and added the militia troops of the town's inhabitants."

"Militia Forces how could it be impossible they could form militia forces without someone who is great enough and has great influence to make the population dare to make a movement against us."

"The general is currently trapped that the noble bishop Karam is not known to exist anymore after going to prepare dimensional space magic so that we can all escape."

General Cristian did not know but it was likely that Bishop Karam had left him as soon as he realized that there were other troops attacking from behind the fort.

"Priest Shrine of Sirak and the Kasmaldian Army are quick to find Cleric Shirk temple that can cast dimensional space magic we must also quickly go from this fortress."

General Cristian gave the order because there is still a possibility that can cast dimensional space magic from the Cleric of the Shirk temple left with him.

"This cannot be allowed our troops to retreat we must withstand the attack coming from behind the fortress."

General Cristian and his troops rushed to the rear of the fort because his army would be superior to the militia forces of the city of Lambak and have a greater chance of being able to retreat and defend into the city from on remaining above the fortress faced raids and attacks from both directions.

Meanwhile, the underground forces of the city of Lambak attack from inside the city to the fortress where General Cristian's troops are located with the paladins of Sirak temple.

Antonio directly led the troops of the city of Lambak to secure the residents of the city of Lambak from the troops of Paladin Sirak temple and fortunately not many troops Sirak temple in the city because they were busy facing the attack of troops Arfen led by General Mariana in the city fortress.

"Militia forces quickly assist the wounded and provide support from behind, Captain Lambak forces command your Soldiers to make a formation as if the enemy forces on the fortress are already aware of us."

"Each Lambak Army forms a line following Prince Antonio we will fight behind the fortress."

"Yahhh...!?"

Lopak's forces were notoriously stronger than the forces in the surrounding region even they were stronger than the forces of Silmarin and Lambak, Antonio could count on all of them well.

General Cristian's army was ready behind the city gates to prepare for the attack of the militia forces of the town of Lopak.

"My army prepares us to destroy our enemies as true warriors, I am the General of the kingdom of Kasmaldia will lead you all to continue fighting to the end."

General Cristian's army was seen following the orders of General Cristian as they all had a similar fate after the defeat of the Hereven Empire in the western continent.

Antonio stood in front of the approaching army of General Cristian and General Cristian looked quite surprised who had led the militia forces of the city of Lambak and one of General Cristian's subordinates from the kingdom of Kasmaldia spoke.

"The general was prince Antonio the man who had made us and the Hereven empire lose in the western continent."

General Cristian remained calm hearing that because he knew it was impossible for him to win against Prince Antonio and the other troops that would come to surround him, there was no place to run and the prince of the kingdom of Remaria the person who was said to be the hero of the western continent spoke.

"General Cristian has been a long time since his trial in the kingdom of Arfen how are you."

General Cristian smiled at the greeting of Prince Antonio which sounded quite friendly.

"Hoh. it's fitting that all our plans here could be messed up, it turns out that Prince Antonio who is famous for his genius and wisdom who has planned all this, it turns out, gather the rest of the Lopak army and the youths behind my back to form an underground militia force, I can't say anything other than amazing no one will be able to do all this to infiltrate the city and attack from behind."

Antonio also smiled he did feel that General Cristian of the kingdom of Kasmaldia was a very great person so as to gather a lot of the remaining imperial troops left in the kingdom of Arka to support him.

"General Cristian you have indeed committed many crimes in the western continent by helping the Sirak temple, but I can give you a little hope for your army to stay alive so you should give up immediately."

General Cristian thought about it but there was no way he and his troops would be forgiven after committing many crimes and massacres to innocent people.

"Thank you for your offer, your highness Prince Antonio, your majesty is indeed a true hero, but forgive me for my servant and servant army feel unworthy to accept it, so let us die in battle to save the rest of our honor as soldiers."

Antonio understood that General Cristian felt he had gone too far and felt unable to forgive himself, Antonio knows that feeling when he has almost similar regrets after being forced to commit several crimes in his former life in his home world.

"General Cristian I understand I will grant your wish."

Antonio took out a large sword from his bag and General Cristian did the same.

"Kasmaldians and all the soldiers who followed and fought with me, we will continue to fight on the battlefield as true warriors until death picks us up, we are warriors.."

"We, the Kasmaldian Army, will follow General Cristian to death."

General Cristian's troops also drew their swords to fight and died honorably as soldiers, the Lopak Militia Army was also prepared, he said, while some of the Red Vivern Army has also landed behind Prince Antonio to provide support.

There was no hope for General Cristian's Army and the two armies fought behind the gates of the city of Lopak.
