"Mr Carlos there was an emissary from the entourage who accompanied the commander of the naval forces of the kingdom of Remaria and he said that the commander Eriela would soon arrive in the capital Grosberk."
"It turns out Eriela's comanda is coming, Captain Abraham then what about prince Antonio in the town of Wraska have you heard from there.?"
"Master Carlos is indeed a servant already getting word from the people who came from there, but there is little problem, though, the people at the harbor said that Prince Antonio had submitted a great quest to the Wraska City adventurer guild."
Carlos was wondering if perhaps Prince Antonio was planning something until he hired some adventurers in Wraska City, but thankfully Prince Antonio did not execute any requests or quests in the guild because if until prince Antonio left Wraska city to perform dangerous quests, it would be even harder to keep an eye on him."
"Captain Abraham then do you know what quest Prince Antonio asked the adventurers there.?"
"True Mr. Carlos, they say that Prince Antonio hired almost all middle-level and upper-level adventurers to help him raid the Orc army in the Nordell forest."
Carlos face looks surprised because it turns out he was wrong Prince Antonio did not ask the adventurers to do his own request but accompanied to do a mission that is quite dangerous.
"What is a raid mission with a large number of adventurers, it is critical that Prince Antonio experienced something in the raid, what will I say to the commander of the Remaria Forces who will arrive soon,!? damn it when explaining about Prince Antonio not being in the capital Grosberk to the incoming envoy will be a little difficult but I have to say that their crown prince is in danger of storming the monster nest."
"Sir Carlos is a little troublesome and in addition some intelligence we have also identified the existence of several spies from the Navian kingdom in the capital, they say that one of the spies was the one who led the assassin attacking Nikof's ministerial entourage upon returning from a visit to Remaria."
"It's hard to keep and ensure the safety of our important guests from the assassins who are after their lives and our guests are doing something dangerous outside our supervision."
"Mr Carlos are we going to send troops to the town of Wraska now to ensure the safety of Prince Antonio there, our troops are ready to be deployed at any time.?"
"Yes we will immediately send an army to the city of Wraska to secure the city as well as protect Prince Antonio, well then I should get ready to call the commander of the naval forces of the kingdom of Remaria."
Hours after Captain Abraham reported about the important guest, a large retinue of Remaria troops was seen approaching the southern gate of the city of Grosberk.
A woman leads the army, he was the commander of Eriela who was quite famous for not only successfully resisting the attack of the imperial forces in the city of Harnas but also the figure who captured and beheaded General Sordim who was famous as an unstoppable sea storm the eastern continent.
"Captain Argul we have finally arrived have you really confirmed that Prince Antonio is not in the city.?"
"Right Commander Eriela, a minister from the Republic said that and also their captain explained that his highness Prince Antonio had escaped from his guard."
"It's true that Prince Antonio does like to act arbitrarily, it looks like I have to apologize to the Republic of North Navia for our prince's behavior."
Commander Eriela knew enough about the prince's nature because the queen Alta herself told him that Prince Antonio often escaped from escorts. Queen Alta was quite worried because Prince Antonio went to the Republic ahead of schedule and tricked the soldiers who had been prepared to escort him.
Commander Eriela got off her carriage and met Mr. Carlos in person who greeted her in person.
"Our commander Eriela, welcome to the capital of Grosberk."
"Mr. Carlos thank you and sorry we are a little late because it looks like the path from the south to the Republic is covered in snow that is thick enough that there may have been a large enough avalanche in the region before that we had to turn around looking for another path."
Mr. Carlos thinks it must be the avalanche that Minister Nikof told me when Prince Antonio made the avalanche with a very loud sound skill to stop the Assassin attack from the Kingdom of Navia.
"We asked for that commander Eriela, indeed we got a report about the path covered by the avalanche but we have not been able to open that path because of its location far enough."
"We understand Mr. Carlos but we'd better finish this welcome soon because we need to find Prince Antonio and provide him with a strict escort."
"Right commander Eriela I as head of state of the Republic of North Navia also apologized for failing to keep an eye on his highness Prince Antonio."
Mr. Carlos once apologized to Commander Eriela but commander Eriela of the Remaria kingdom seems to have understood that.
"Mr Carlos does not need to apologize precisely we are the ones who have to apologize because our prince has troubled you a lot, prince Antonio does often act arbitrarily himself, he said, he even went to the Republic without waiting for me, which Prince Antonio had ordered himself to accompany him on the way to the Republic with Minister Nikof's entourage."
"Commander Eriela if you want to find Prince Antonio soon the republican army will be ready to help you, Captain Abraham is also preparing to follow his highness Prince Antonio to the town of Wraska by ship of the sea troops."
"So Prince Antonio's location has been confirmed in the town of Wraska then we have to hurry before Prince Antonio moves elsewhere and endangers himself."
Commander Eriela said that but Mr. Carlos looked a little confused so commander Eriela spoke again to ask.
"Sir Carlos is there something.?"
"Commander Eriela actually I just got word that Prince Antonio has hired a lot of adventurers in the town of Wraska and brought them all to raid an Orc army that appeared in the Nordell forest close to the royal border Navia."
"What is the invasion of Orc troops and even near the territory of the kingdom that is in conflict with the Republic, it is critical if there is tension between countries if prince Antonio to provoke the attention of the kingdom of Navia."
Sir Carlos was seen scratching the back of his head because he was confused how to explain to commander Eriela that Prince Antonio had indeed provoked tension with the kingdom of Navia even until the kingdom of Navia sent Assassins to hunt him.
"Commander Eriela looks like you must find Prince Antonio immediately, I will have Captain Abraham explain the situation to you on the way by ship later."
Mr. Carlos said it was because he was really confused and had trouble explaining the situation to the extent of throwing it at Captain Abraham, and Commander Eriela did feel a little aware of Mr. Carlos' strange behavior and guessed something had happened.
<<<<<<<
Antonio and the group of adventurers approached an old castle in a slightly open place in the middle of the forest. Nakrom Castle, after more than a thousand years of abandonment, saw the remains of trees and the roots of dead vines still gripping the rocks from the castle walls. changes in temperature and air temperature in the north after extreme weather disasters have left many species of tropical forest plants in the north of the continent dead and what remains are plants that can survive cold weather such as trees cypresses.
Nakrom Castle's massive building is the only inscription left behind by the Galdamar kingdom in an era of chaos in the past, an era in which there were many regions in the western continent that had not been touched by humans.
In that era many people began to arrive from various countries to the northern region of the continent and avoid the central and southern regions of the western continent because there had begun to be controlled by some major powers especially led by Emperor Golgotha.
Small kingdoms began to emerge in the north of the western continent, like the Baltar kingdom which eventually became the forerunner of the Palanka kingdom and the Navian kingdom to the west while in the middle part that is still a dense forest emerged a small kingdom called Galdamar.
But the kingdom of Galdamar was unable to survive because of the barada in the forest area which is directly adjacent to the Orc region and until finally the Orc Army conquered the kingdom of Galdamar but Orc power also did not last long because of the Empire Golgotha, who had not been around for a long time, considered the existence of the Orc kingdom a serious threat and eventually destroyed the Orc kingdom in the northern region of the continent.
The Galdamar region that was in the middle of the forest did not interest the Golgotha empire so much that the empire ignored the northern region and that was also because the Golgotha Empire was busy with feuds within its own imperial family.
I don't know what happened after more than a thousand years until Orcs and Blarok could reappear again in the snowy forest region in the north today.
Antonio and the adventurers begin their reconnaissance and Orcs are seen in parts of the castle that have been consumed by nature, several blaroks shaped like giant wolves seemed to be sleeping and guarding the entrance of Nakrom's castle.
Arfandra one of the leaders of the Nordell forest white Elf tribe also cooperated with the adventurers helping to exterminate the Orc army from the region then spoke to prince Antonio who led this raid directly.
"Prince Antonio are we going to start his plan.?"
"Yes Mr. Arfandra I will count on you and the White Elves to lure some of the Orcs and Blarok from the castle because only you can do it."
"That prince Antonio is right only we here are quite familiar with the Nordell forest to have the greatest opportunity to fish and escape from the pursuit of the Orc troops who drive the Blarok."
"Then we start now, John Herman will lead the adventurers with a surprise attack, Yolga and Miss Helena will provide support with arrows and magic attacks while me and Praska will lead a small team that will directly infiltrate the castle to target the Orc leader."
"Each of us understands your majesty."
The adventurers began to carry out the plan made by Prince Antonio and Arfandra immediately brought some of his Elf warriors closer to the fortress.
