Hannoic War
Capital bird (part 17)

"You don't have any idea how long you've been flying until you've flapped your wings"

Napoleon Bonaparte

Bird capital

"Vesius Garius" said Hasteinn as he chewed his bread under a tree.

Glent and Hasteinn were sitting under the trees with fallen leaves and mud under their feet.

They used to pass through this place if they were to leave the castle of the Hasteinn family.

Because no army of the Hasral family can see them.

Or meet a merchant who can know the face of Hasteinn in one look.

"Hm? Why Hasteinn?" said Glent after gulping his mouth at Hasteinn's words..

"Nobody I remember Garius when I heard the owl" Hasteinn said.

*hoo*hoo*hoo*

The sound of owls was heard in the trees and the sound of flying was completely inaudible. No one can see the owl anywhere.

"Fucking ghost clouds, really add to the atmosphere of the jungle's gloom" Glent complained.

" 'The 'Obligations', the words of the Garius family motto are truly memorable and more unique than any other family" Hasteinn said.

" 'Obligation'.yes the birds of Garius always have a unique idea" Glent said.

" 'The 'Obligation', I like it enough to say" Hasteinn said

"You seem to be inspired by the 'birds of the capital' ", Glent said.

"Birds may be, but Garius was famous as a wise and clever man, Toran Garius led the capital.

"He often hides in the camp when fighting comes, doing sneaky and dirty things, when his troops fight in front of him he chooses to sit in fear behind" Glent said.

"Have you ever met him at the battle of Glent?" said Hasteinn as he tidied up his shoes.

"No, but I heard from my friends that he looked like a lazy fat frog, 'coward general' if my friend said it sometimes" Glent said as he rubbed his shoes with a cloth.

"Vesius Garius.when I heard he was invincible in the battlefield, Tyronia fought also he defeated many troops and plundered the green Cloak city and Belrum city, was he really that cowardly?" ,hasteinn wondered.

"Come on Hasteinn, someone like him must have only great subordinates" Glent said as he stood up.

And then Glent extended his hand to Hasteinn.

"Whatever the subordinates are great, the leader will always be responsible alone and on duty without being able to be helped by his subordinates Glent" Hasteinn said as he took Glent's hand.

It was seen that the two of them were carrying weapons such as swords and crossbows, keeping watch for bandits or other dangers.

"Advice spoken by the son of nobility" Glent said.

"Lord son maybe, but I'm never free, I'm lucky that my father doesn't know that I'm out of my castle every day" Hasteinn said, looking ahead.

"Just enjoy moments like this, after all we come to heaven where you can be free to drink and have fun freely" Glent said as he walked forward.

A smile was engraved on Glent's face, while his hand took out a bag of wine and made his throat gulp down the delicious wine.

"Hahh.." - ' said Hasteinn, following Glent.

A few meters they walked, visible walls of the city they visited.

After many terrible bushes and trees, they came to the city where freedom would embrace them with wine and women.

It has a pretty big city wall.

They arrived at the city of Varah a peaceful city especially for visitors and a city that is quite fertile especially in the middle of a war like this.

The two of them often played here, especially Hasteinn who often sneaked out of his castle and played with Glent here.

In front of the gate they entered easily, because the city was not designed for war. The city is also far from being a war on the border.

Even the soldiers in this city spend more time in places to drink or block street fights in the city.

In front of them were seen many traders who chatted and visitors who came to this prosperous small town.

The security guard of the city of Varah is quite loose and not too tight even in the middle of the war.

Because this small town is quite remote and is one of the newest cities built in Victa.

"How many are there?" asked Glent.

"Perhaps because most of them avoided the Black Road to Ballerius City and chose to come here" Hasteinn explained to Glent.

Then Hasteinn turned to the drinking house, where Hasteinn and Glent used to drink if they came out like this.

The environment has remained unchanged, for several weeks they have not visited this city.

There are several buildings that are still under construction.

Then Hasteinn walked away to the drinking house, Glent who was following Hasteinn walked behind him.

In a field in front of Balradius Castle, a train came with several troops carrying the flag of the letter V against the background of Black stands proudly.

State emblem Victa.

Note: Coat of arms of the Republic Victa

The nobles from all over Dalmatia came today to Balradius' castle, and even Dalmatian enemies came too. The Victa came to talk of a truce or simply to greet the new Dalmatian queen.

It is seen that some of the soldiers carried the flag of the Basileus family, one of the strongest families in Victoria. And the Victa who came today came from the Victa family.

The sign is a black cat lying on a yellow background.

Note: The Basileus family symbol

While some officials and knights welcomed the carriage in line.

Perrin and the other heroes are waiting in their own rooms.

Perrin was still in the room as usual and looked out his window.

Perrin was wearing a black armour preparing to do something.

Regio and Casca were also in the ranks of officials who welcomed the train

The closed carriage door was seen opened by a soldier wearing his Basileus diarmour family crest.

Then a man got off the car.

The man is quite handsome and a little tall and has black hair.

Perrin could not see the color of his eyes from the window, but he could see many of his physical appearances from the windows in Balradius castle.

He looks friendly and often smiles and charismatic.

Taitus Basileus is named after him, he is from the Victa and is a member of the Basileus family.

Casca tells Perrin, with a sneaky smile and the usual weird way.

Taitus was later welcomed by several officials including Casca and Regio.

It seems they are having a happy fun and some people make jokes to dilute the atmosphere.

But some officials and knights did not welcome him or even put on an upset face to Taitus.

There are some who just ignore Taitus.

It looks pretty obvious in Perrin's eyes.

The faces of those who hate the peace of these two countries and the faces of those who pretend to like this.

Given how many of their families and friends died in vain in this long battle.

The 25 years of war have gone on without much certainty of victory in both countries.

Just a few weeks ago Perrin heard Vesius Garius 'the great owl' capture and defeat 8,000 Dalmatian troops on the border.

There are even rumors that Vesius made 1,000 Dalmatian troops put in a field and eaten by hundreds of owls pet.

While 30,000 troops led by Robert Rommel still have not returned from the Black Mountains. Some say that a general named Vespasian trapped him in the mountain.

"Dalmatia was also exhausted from this war, and so was Victa. If we really want to fight the Demon King, we must have made peace from before" Perrin said.
