Bogat threw a glass made of metal coated with silver and still containing wine towards Sheyn's head that was kneeling before him.
Objects as hard as silver glasses, if thrown towards the head of course will injure the head of the person who was hit by the throw, even to bleed.
Sheyn also did not know why her father had done that to her, but she only reported that her scouts had crossed paths with the Arevelk Kingdom's troops while pursuing the Gate's ruling force.
He could only say,”Eh?”. Even his subordinates in the Rose Line were more surprised then rubbed the blood coming out of Sheyn's forehead with the handkerchief they were carrying. The spilled wine also added to Sheyn's suffering, as the alcohol on the wine caused her injuries to become even more painful.
“I don't know anymore, you said your troops wanted a battlefield. But when you meet the enemy, what you do is escape,” no one knows why Sheyn's father can say that.
Even Sheyn could only kneel while pecking with a trembling body.
Though he himself ordered Sheyn's troops to scout the Gate, but their troops met with a small part of the army that controlled the Gate, and met with the troops of Arevelk Kingdom.
What's his status today? wasn't Sheyn on the side that wanted to survive, and didn't want her subordinates to die in vain?
Indeed, Sheyn and the rest of his army managed to escape from both forces. In that case, Sheyn and his troops should have gotten good treatment. But the quiet atmosphere in the palace is the code if Sheyn's troops are not accepted in the palace if they do not win.
From his words, Bogat wanted Sheyn and his troops to conduct a suicide battle. Because it is impossible for an army of 120 soldiers to fight hundreds of thousands of heavy cavalry. And Sheyn and her subordinates know the meaning, but they prefer to keep quiet. Sheyn felt anger at her, and wanted to beat up her father immediately.
But the army of the Arevelk Kingdom that had entered the territory of the Luan Empire was also a bigger problem. That way, a war could be imminent, and make the Empire's territory a battlefield.
‘What's wrong?’ ‘Do you want me to die soon?’ sheyn's heart was filled with such questions.
Behind the door of the throne room, a 17-year-old girl peeked out of the slightly open door. From her fine-looking clothes, she might be from the Emperor family or something.
He is Kambana, the third son of the Emperor which means he is the younger brother of Sheyn and his second brother. Emperor Bogat had three children from a wife who had died when Kambana was only 6 years old.
He glanced over from behind the door with a furious face, of course he felt angry towards his father for his treatment of his older brother who had fought bravely. He unceasingly said something quickly, with the meaning of cursing his father.
“If you want to curse father, it is better to master a magic first,” a teenage boy wearing a military magician uniform comes suddenly and makes Kambana jump in surprise.
Kambana's eyebrows dropped sharply, because the words of her brother alluded to a lack of it. Kambana does not have a strong body to store magic energy, so does Sheyn. That was why Kambana and Sheyn were simply unable to cast even the weakest magic. All they could do was master basic military science. Kambana did not choose to be a knight like her brother, but aspired to create a weapon that made the soldiers not need to fight directly.
Rantz only smiled cynically towards Kambana, and puffed out his chest haughtily. He then opens entering the throne room to meet his father who did call him for a thing.
Kambana chose to return to her room, rather than see her brother again insulted by her father and brother. He promised in his heart, if he managed to create the weapon he designed, Kambana would make Sheyn the strongest knight in the Empire.
Bogat smiled brightly as Rantz fulfilled his call, but Bogat was eager for Sheyn to step aside from him rather than kneel with a pitiful face.
“What is your team ready for?” Sheyn raised her head in an unexpected manner that her father would send Rantz's elite troops.
Inwardly, Sheyn was eager to defy her father's decision to send in an army of military witches. Indeed the army of Luan Empire's military magicians was very strong, but their numbers were few, only around 4 battalions.
Sheyn preferred to remain silent, and wanted to show her sister the two great armies that the Empire was fighting against. Although he wants Rantz not to be involved in danger, but his nature is the same as Bogat.
“Of course dad, I will do a task that he cannot do,” Rantz pointed to Sheyn who was still kneeling with a cynical look.
Sheyn realizes the meaning of Rantz's words to humble herself.
“Quietly, I will replace you to destroy the forces that control the Gate and the forces of the Kingdom of Arevelk, my ugly brother.
Sheyn snorted in annoyance, and stared intently at Rantz who was staring and smiling sinisterly at him. Rantz's face is very handsome, because his parents before entering old age are beautiful men and women.
However, an incident during combat training left Sheyn's face scarred, leaving a terrible mark. His left eye was nearly blind, and caused the men who had been pursuing his love to choose to stay away from Sheyn.
“I hope you come home alive after fighting both armies!”
Sheyn's words were only met with loud laughter Bogat and Rantz, even the soldiers guarding the throne room could hear the laughter of the two.
Sheyn has been unable to stand the treatment of the two men since the incident. He stood up and walked quickly out of the throne room leaving the two people who continued to spout insulting words for him.
In the female heart of a Sheyn, she desperately wanted a man who was willing to accept her and defend her in this kind of situation.

There were many broadcasts on TV that used the dispatch of explorer troops as the main topic of news.
But troops outside the homeland did not care about the news, as long as the news did not broadcast the news of birds about them.
The construction of barracks and other buildings that serve to facilitate the work of troops in this world began to be built. With the help of porters with just a pack of cigarettes can complete the targeted project completed within four months.
However, if development experiences problems, such as a corrupted budget, development will experience a slight obstacle. Because the porters lack intake of cigarettes and fried food because their budget of food is corrupted by people who call their group as ‘vice of the people’.
Some buildings, such as the command headquarters and the living quarters of the officers sent to another world had been completed in the wake. Only the soldier barracks and the runways of planes and helicopters have yet to be completed.
Sucipto is working on a report at his workplace, accompanied by a cup of black coffee and a radio broadcast about the redevelopment in Indonesia. He raised his head when he heard the sound of knocking on the door that kept repeating itself several times.
Sucipto ordered the person knocking at the door to enter his room. He was a soldier of the rank of First Lieutenant Auxiliary, Gio was his name. He was placed in a position at the command headquarters, his job was to help some of the work of the highest commander of this army, said Gio easily occupy a position as an aide.
“General, I received a letter from the TV channel company,” Sucipto just snorted annoyed at getting back a letter whose contents would definitely be the same as the letter he received earlier.
Because the owners of TV channel companies would want to send a group of people to cover life in another world. However, there must be something else from sending the news seekers.
Because many people wanted to see life in another world, they continued to urge the military to open the Gate for journalists to enter.
In fact, the TNI itself has not made a wider exploration of this world, the time needed for the job will certainly be very long.
“How's General? Do I need to throw this letter again?” Sucipto immediately answered Gio's question with a nod.
He was already very furious with the owners of the TV channel company, even wanting to be immediately free from the party who wanted to enter the Gate.
“Peltu Gio, have you heard from the entire Explorers Squad?” Gio retrieved the file from his desk, it contained a list of reports from the commanders of the Cruiser Squad.
“All Teams have reported their current location, only Squad 1 has not reported it,”
“Are they out of range of radio signals?” that is a reasonable problem, because the radio signal transmitter tower has not been installed evenly in this place.
Satellites have not yet been launched in this world, which is why tracking devices and GPS have not worked in this place.
So that's the biggest possibility why Squad 1 hasn't reported their current location. If there was a bad possibility, Sucipto was only unthinkable if they were caught up in the battle. Given the current status of Indonesia still has not revoked the status of ‘sedang war’ against troops who fight with Indonesia.
Although all rover squads are not required to report their current location, it is unexpectedly important for their status. The status in question is, the personnel of the Squad is still alive or vice versa. If within a week an explorer squad does not report anything, the headquarters will send an army to search for them.
Although there is a possibility that ‘great’ for the Explorers, for example unexpected battles, it is a possible thing that can happen. The troops should have been prepared for such a possibility. Because the world behind the Gate was a place that could have been far more dangerous than the origin world.
It was extremely difficult to detect the existence of each of the Cruiser Guilds, but if given their experience in fighting against the otherworldly forces, perhaps such a terrifying thing could be overcome. Although they had to fight with great difficulty, and took casualties on the side of friends.
However, that does not mean the TNI will just release their troops. Because the lives of every soldier are precious.
Moreover, there are soldiers from the Student Army Union, they definitely have ideals that must be realized in the future after this war ends.

The atmosphere of a very bright morning on the dirt road is very pleasant. Several times the personnel saw plant-eating animals on the roadside, it made some soldiers take out cameras and memotaret animals of this world.
Nio did not think that it would be detrimental, instead he could ask for a photo in the portrait of his members for a report that he would write later.
He then put down the radio communication device after reporting his current location.
Nio still had a much more important problem to deal with.
“Anu, can you just sit in the back?” Nio tried to shift his butt so as not to come into too much contact with Sigiz.
After all, the seat is only two attached, but it is enough to make 2 people sit in the chair. While the seat at the back extends and faces the middle.
Sigiz simply shook his head then said, “I can't sit with people I don't know. After all, only you are the person I know best.”
The corner of Nio's eyes twitched, he should be able to endure his patience even though his patience had been at the end of the crown. He also had to gulp repeatedly because he was sitting next to a beautiful woman. Nio judged that Sigiz's age was not too far from his brother, or even the same age as Arunika. He never misses the matter of guessing someone's age so far, it can be dibilanh this is one of Nio's special abilities.
While on Sigiz's side, he could only feel nervous after successfully obtaining a seat near Nio. Despite having to talk to Nio about the seat, he was finally able to convince Nio to share the seat with him. In addition to feeling comfortable from sitting next to Nio, the suspension and comfortable seats are very far from the horse-drawn carriage which makes a loud shake.
A member of the Squad from the Student Army Union only smiled wryly towards Sigiz who could sit close to Nio. Sergeant Dinda distracts him by reading a dictionary book to be more fluent in the language of the world.
“Commander, why don't we just ask for an extra vehicle? Wouldn't that add up to the person accompanying the Queen?”
With the transportation capabilities owned by the TNI, the matter of sending additional vehicles can be done with transport helicopters.
However, Dinda must have something else than asking Nio. The question makes Nio have to rack his brain to find the right words.
“In general, we are now in enemy territory. They don't even ignore us because they are small in number, they will definitely move immediately when they see our troops moving with larger numbers. The Queen's existence may not be intentional, but what they are fighting is the land she leads and us. We can't involve him in the problems we have. Just thinking about your question made my head hurt.”
Dinda only smiled wryly after hearing Nio's answer to her question.
While the members of that one vehicle with Nio did not expect that he would think that far for their safety.
